Integration Gains Slower Since 1954 Desegregation
Harvard professor Thomas Pettigrew told Pepperdine College’s conference in Los Angeles that public school segregation has increased since 1954, with de facto segregation driven by government actions through districting and school misplacement. He argued integration remains essential for quality education and reducing prejudice, citing the Coleman Report on class and peer effects.

Integration Only Path to Equality, Educator Testifies
Professor Tampa Coleman of Johns Hopkins told a Senate committee that integration is essential for equal educational opportunity. He cited mixed results from integration experiments in various cities, arguing compensatory programs cannot replace the benefits of a racially integrated classroom. He noted home backgrounds are the key school resource and that some middle-class environments aid all students. Nixon cited Coleman's report in a policy statement.
