The Desegregation of America's Schools
Detroit, MI : Lucent Books/Thomson Gale, [2007]
Format: Book
Description: 104 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Despite many legal attempts to overturn state-sponsored racial segregation in schools, public spaces, and on public transportation during the early twentieth century, the practice of segregation was legally enforced in the United Sates until the late 1960s. This informative edition describes the inequality of education between white and African American students after the Civil War, the legal cases that forced the integration of schools, and the reactions to the desegregation of schools that still continue today.
