Justice Powell's leading opinion in the Bakke case stressed educational diversity over state responsibility. It is suggested that, even where diversification fails as a goal, the desire to overcome the effects of past discrimination may still avail. (Author/LBH)

Examining the widespread claims that private schools have high segregation levels and vouchers will lead to greater segregation, this study finds that both assertions are empirically unsupportable. Private schools participating in Cleveland's voucher program are much less segregated than Cleveland's public schools. This means that students using…

Demographic data since 1970 indicate a reversal of the centuries-long process of increasing metropolitan concentration and a sharp diminution in the flow of black migrants to large cities. To date, there is no evidence of sharp shifts in the residential isolation of blacks. (Author/AM)
