southern school desegregation

Southern school desegregation refers to the process of ending racial segregation in public schools in the American South, primarily starting with the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared segregated schools unconstitutional. This movement aimed to provide Black students equal access to quality education alongside white students. Despite legal rulings, desegregation faced resistance, leading to measures like busing and federal intervention to ensure integration. The goal was to dismantle segregation's legacy and promote equitable educational opportunities for students of all races.
