School desegregation refers to the process of ending the separation of students based on race in public schools. This movement gained momentum in the United States after the landmark Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education, in 1954, which declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The goal was to provide equal educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their racial background. The desegregation process often faced significant resistance, including protests and legal challenges. Federal and state governments implemented various measures, such as busing students to different schools, to achieve integration. Over time, these efforts aimed to create a more inclusive and equitable educational environment for all children.
