the Boston school struggle

The Boston School Struggle was a legal conflict in the 1960s over school desegregation. It centered on Boston’s public schools, which remained racially segregated despite laws aimed at integration. African-American parents sued, arguing that segregation limited educational opportunities and equity. The case exposed deep racial divides and highlighted the challenges of desegregation efforts, including resistance from some white communities. Ultimately, it prompted policies to promote integration, but also revealed the complex social and political obstacles to achieving true equality in education.
