Abstract

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the United States government declared war on racial segregation. The 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education unanimously concluded that racial segregation led to adverse consequences for African Americans. “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal,” said the Supreme Court. ¹ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a national movement for racial integration— a movement focused in good part on desegregating housing and schools. Government policy, particularly during the Great Society period in the mid- 1960s, made racial integration a national priority. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned the use of federal funds for segregated programs and schools. ² The Fair Housing Act of 1968 made racebased discrimination in housing illegal.
