All,
I found this article in Time today about a town in Mississippi that still has segregated schools! How is this possible you ask? Well read it. They are being forced to desegregate as we speak. Crazy, huh?

This is really interesting. I honestly am not too surprised that there are some school districts that are not entirely de-segregated. It takes brave people, both black and white, to desegregate schools, as this was extremely unpopular among whites in the 1960s and probably some still today. However, what does surprise me is that this legal battle has been going on for FIFTY YEARS! I don't understand how they could argue for the school to keep its segregation in the 21st century.
