Summary Of Why Busing Forced By Matthew Delmont

309 Words2 Pages

During week 12 of class, we were assigned to read three sections of Matthew Delmont's Why Busing Filed. This reading focuses on "busing," which meant that students would be transported to other schools and school districts in order to desegregate schools. This book discusses how "busing" failed due to many white parents opposing it; their values were seen as more important than the rights of black students (Delmont 25). Despite Brown v. Board of Education deeming school segregation unconstitutional in 1954, many schools remained segregated for years. The attention on segregation normally focused on the South. Media always portrayed the North as not being as segregated, so it was ignored, even though African Americans faced a lot of discrimination

Through this case, “Marshall and others challenged the idea of ‘separate but equal’ schools” (Tougas 16). On a legal level, Thurgood Marshall was able to change the situation for African Americans trying to get an education. His explanation against separate but equal caused the court to say “school segregation stripped African-American students of educational opportunities and harmed them emotionally” (Tougas 15). The Little Rock School Board already had a plan to bring black students into white students approved.

    Segregation in the American South has not always been as easy as determining black and white. In C. Vann Woodward’s book, “The Strange Career of Jim Crow” post-civil war in Southern America has truly brought the “Jim Crow” laws into light and the ultimate formation of segregation in the south. The book determines that there is no solid segregation in the south for years rather than several decades following the end of the American Civil War in 1865 where the South achieved a better stand on segregation and equality as compared to the North at this time. Racial segregation in the form of Jim Crow laws that divided the White Americans from the African Americans in almost every sense of daily life did not appear with the end of slavery but towards

The Little Rock Nine was not formed only to highlight the racial imbalance of segregation in school, but to also give the nine students a good and fair education.

Board, 6-7] Firstly, he discusses the general decrease in “demonstrations” after the ruling when he would have expected more.
