Nation’s schools grow more segregated across the nation
A Harvard Project on School Desegregation study finds two of every three black children in 1991-92 attended majority black schools, the highest since 1968, with about 73 percent of Hispanic students in minority dominated schools. The report notes housing patterns and birth immigration shifts drive segregation, while some groups argue flight to suburbs and private schools contributes. Orfield warns of a reversal of civil rights gains and urges federal action to restore integration aid and enforce laws.
