This chapter examines antibusing legislation designed to reduce or eliminate busing as a desegregation tool. After a brief background discussion of how the Brown decision came about, the legislative, judicial, and executive effects on school desegregation are reviewed. This is followed by a brief analysis of antibusing legislation. Contrary to those who view the progress made during this time as significant, the author believes that much more could have been done if positive leadership had been forthcoming from the executive and legislative branches of government. Much of the progress came in spite of a lack of support and because blacks and civil rights organizations continued demanding that the courts and other government agencies live up to the spirit and the intent of the law.
