Answer 2

Answer:

Local schools and governments used several tactics to slow integration.

Explanation:

Although the US Supreme Court ruled that school segregation was unconstitutional and had to end, North Carolina still adopted tactics that segregated schools.

Luther Hodges became governor in 1955 and opposed desegregation, he named Thomas J. Pearsall as the head of the Governor’s Special Advisory Committee on Education. Pearsall established the Pearsall Plan that began a system of local control which made possible for people to chose where they would study, this system did little for integration, and most of the schools remained segregated. This plan was later considered unconstitutional.
