Answer 2

Answer:

Busing was made an acceptable approach to integration in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

Explanation:

Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education was a case decided in 1971 by the Supreme Court that examined the constitutionality of government actions to reduce the effects of racial segregation in public schools in general and, more specifically, to arrange transportation means for African Americans with the goal of promoting integration into public schools (busing).

The court ruled that it was a correct and effective solution to the racial imbalance in schools, even when it was caused by the predominance of a particular ethnic group in the population living close to school rather than segregationist measures.
