How does de jure segregation differ from de facto segregation? How wasBrown v.Board of Education (1954) related to de jure segregation in education? How did later events demonstrate that de facto segregation was alive and well?

2, Discuss how the Supreme Court, in the Brown case, set aside the Plessy precedent and declared school segregation inherently unconstitutional because it violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
3, Explain how integration in practice moved slowly, particularly in the South.
