Question

What were the steps to end segregation?

Answer 1

Answer: 1: Executive actions 2: Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka 3:  school desegregation

Explanation:

1 :President Harry Truman ordered an end to segregation in the military and the federal bureaucracy. Segregated units in the U.S. Army were disbanded within three years, and the Korean War became the first conflict in which blacks and whites truly fought side by side.

2: In 1950, Oliver Brown sued in federal court over the segregation of the school system of Topeka, Kansas. The Supreme Court's 1954 decision in the case, which held that separate schools were inherently unequal, was important for several reasons. Topeka was not a Southern city; the Court hoped to limit backlash in the South by using a case outside the region.  However, the Court ordered the desegregation of the schools, not their integration. Although the terms are often used synonymous, they actually have different meanings.

3: It was not until the early 1970s that the federal courts approved such remedies as busing and racial quotas. These applied, however, only to districts that had practiced legal segregation and not in instances in which segregation was the result of where different groups lived.
