This lecture explores the persistent segregation and discrimination faced by African Americans in the mid-20th century and the Civil Rights Movement’s emergence. It examines Brown v. Board of Education, which declared school segregation unconstitutional, overturning Plessy v. Ferguson. Despite progress, resistance, including white flight and violence, delayed integration. Landmark cases like Alexander v. Holmes advanced desegregation, but rising de facto segregation underscores ongoing inequities in education and housing.
