Bell, Derrick A., Jr. – 1984
Implementation of the "Brown" decision has failed to provide the equal education opportunity promise in 1954. The Supreme Court's 1955 decision, which sent school desegregation cases to the district courts, was vague and provided desegregation opponents time to organize a campaign that threatened secession and succeeded in delaying any…

Hannon, Barbara – 1977
In Boston a number of factors contributed to the prolonged community resistance to school desegregation and busing to achieve it.
