School Desegregation Efforts in the City of Brotherly Love.

Ollie, Bert W., Jr.

Equity and Excellence, v24 n2 p48-52 Win 1989

The 60-year effort to desegregate Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) public schools has not succeeded. Despite a 1977 State court order to desegregate and the implementation of the Modified School Desegregation Plan, Black and minority group students still encounter discrimination, unfairness, and abuse in Philadelphia schools, and the Plan's promises remain unfulfilled.
