Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'school desegregation'

School desegregation refers to the process of ending racial segregation in public education systems, particularly following the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision in the United States. This social movement faced significant resistance including "massive resistance" campaigns, white flight, and in some cases violent opposition, while fundamentally reshaping American education and civil rights. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to or timelines of desegregation often serve as critical divergence points that reshape social dynamics and constitutional interpretation.
