Will Voluntary Desegregation Work in Los Angeles?

Orfield, Gary

Integrated Education, v20 n1-2 p11-16 Jan-Apr 1982

Analysis of the school desegregation experience in Los Angeles, California, suggests that the voluntary methods chosen by the board of education have had very small impacts on the overall pattern of segregation. A mandatory metropolitan plan would be the best way to achieve stable, long-term desegregation in Los Angeles. (Author/MJL)
