anti-busing movement  

Definición

  • From the late 1960s through the subsequent 2 decades, the policy of busing represented arguably the most controversial proposal for ending public school segregation, whether in a de jure (legalized) or, especially, a de facto (e.g., residence-driven) capacity. Busing involved the transportation of students across traditional school district lines (which tended to coincide with geographical proximity) for the purpose of achieving racial balance reflective of the larger school system.
