Integration of Oregon's public schools

Integration of Oregon's public schools refers to the process of desegregating schools to ensure that students of different races and backgrounds learn together in the same educational environment. This effort gained momentum during the Civil Rights Movement, particularly in the 1970s, when laws and policies were enacted to eliminate racial discrimination. Challenges included addressing disparities in resources and opportunities among schools. The goal was to promote equality, understanding, and diversity within the student body, ultimately enriching the educational experience for all students and creating a more inclusive society.
