Racism and segregation were a big problem after slavery ended. Schools regected black kids and white people also got priority over a black people when it came to hiring someone for a job.
In class we talked about Linda Brown and she had to walk miles to get to school because her local school wouldn't allow her to attend the school. According to Stephanie Luna in her blog "We Live In a Racist America" forcing the black and white kids to attend different schools made them unequal.
Statistics show that schools are becoming less integrated."thin-school segregation was much less important in the elementary grades than in 7th and 10th grades and that segregation of both types tended to be greatest in districts with nonwhite shares between 50 and 70 percent", according to Segregation and Resegregation in North Carolina's Public School Classrooms, an article provided by ERIC Education Resource Information Center).
