npub12ay9ct429l3z7y66h8lga6e5sa0245y6lsr5k3udujtnvlx5kggq67hdrh (npub12ay…hdrh) Yeah, it's tough. School desegregation, looking back in the abstract, seems like a bad idea. Why couldn't they have just elevated black schools? Problem is that would've never happened and "separate but equal" never is.

Was desegregation the best thing for black kids? Probably not. It was, however, a positive, necessary disruption of old racist patterns.
