Marking 70 Years of White Flight From School Integration
Briefly

Retroactive support for the basic holding in this decision is at an all-time high; many Black Americans are disappointed by the educational benefits of desegregation; large segments of the White population oppose strategies for integration.
White flight impeded Brown's full implementation, and the 'with all deliberate speed' clause allowed Southern resistors to challenge desegregation efforts, delaying progress.
Desegregation occurred post-Brown, but true integration lagged, with 'neighborhood schools' serving as a loophole for white students avoiding integrated classes.
Urban sprawl complicated integration efforts beyond city cores, hindering effective reconstruction of education systems for full desegregation.
