School Desegregation

School desegregation refers to the process of eliminating racial segregation in public schools, ensuring that students of different races can attend the same schools together. This movement gained significant traction in the United States after the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that segregated schools were unconstitutional. Desegregation aimed to provide equal educational opportunities and combat racial discrimination. Despite legal advances, challenges persisted, and the process often faced resistance, highlighting ongoing issues of racial equality and educational access in various communities. The legacy of desegregation continues to shape discussions about education today.
