Segregation Court Ruling Clouds State Laws Across Nation
Congressional Quarterly surveys show 21 states had mandatory segregated schools prior to the Supreme Court ruling on May 17. In 17 states and the District of Columbia segregation was required or allowed, while 16 states had explicit bans since World War II and 11 states had no segregation laws. Even with law changes, de facto segregation persists in Northern cities. Regional disparities in teacher salaries and classroom expenditures are noted, with wide gaps between white and Negro districts in the 1949-50 period. The article cites Professor Charles H. Thompson of Howard University on ongoing integration patterns.
