Background/Context: Perpetuation theory predicts that attending a racially segregated school paves the way for a lifetime of segregated experiences in neighborhoods, schools, and jobs.

During the past ten years, subtle White northern liberal racism, White backlash, and Black separatism have seriously threatened the gains of the civil rights movement that were triggered by the "Brown" decision. Fortunately, this negative tide is now being reversed. (Author/IRT)
