Answer 2

The Pearsall Plan proposed to delay integration of black and white american students by passing the Pupil Assignment Act, which established a criteria, apparently race-neutral, that should be taking into account  when making student assignments. However, in the practice, local officials used that act to frustrate the black students who wanted to transfer to white schools. It was in opposition to Brown v. Board of Education.
