The education and housing of ethnic minorities in the United States.
Nathan GLAZER
Busing was proposed as a solution to the existence of segregated schools in the United States. The goal was to eliminate the difference between black and white schools by having children attend public-schools nearest to where they lived in order to overcorne the demeaning distinction of race in law and assist the segregating schools to improve their program.
The solution was apparently simple, but it did not happen because of political resistance.
The problem of school integration by way of residential integration seems as difficult to realize as busing.
