Document Summary
In 1954, it became law that in schools ppl of racial backgrounds cannot be segregate. Ppl think that segregation has ended from 30-40 years ago when it was crazy intense, but it has rather not. In chicago, 87% of public school enrolment was black or hispanic; less than 10% of the children were white, and in many other major cities like la, new york, philadelphia, cleveland, around the same statistics can apply. and it"s not even like the schools are in predominantly black/hispanic areasthe areas are radically mixed. The school was to integrate all races but it also became one filled with black/hispanic students. These schools with more blacks/hispanic and less whites, southeast asians are considered. black school officials have sometimes conveyed that they"re being asked to mediate and separate between children of their race and children of white ppl.
