desegregation orders
Court-ordered school mixing
Desegregation orders are judicial mandates requiring institutions—typically schools or public facilities—to end racial segregation.
Following the 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Brown v.
Board of Education, federal courts issued desegregation orders to school districts across the United States, often requiring specific measures like busing students across neighborhoods to achieve racial integration.
The district operated under a desegregation order for three decades.
