Abstract:

While Southern schools were much more racially segregated in 1967, they were as integrated as Northern and Western schools by 1971 and even more integrated by 1974. This integration was the result of action by the courts, who came to realize that local school boards would not act on integration unless forced. However, fears about majority black schools and busing still persist, and the courts have been increasingly reluctant to order desegregation since 1973.
