Maybe more relevant. We got rid of de jure segregation in the 1950's, but today today only 23% of black children in the south go to a school that is majority white. And nationwide, 40% of black children go to a school that is over 90% minority. The typical black child goes to a school where 60% or his classmates are low income. And those numbers are up substantially in the last 20 years. Its been really hard to change the culture of segregation with top-down directives.
