That segregation of black and white schools is unconstitutional fun is it not :D A.S.Apex :)
The Supreme Court case Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, KS, handed down in 1954, overturned the previous Supreme Court ruling that it was constitutional for African-Americans to have separate schools, facilities, etc. so long as they were equal to those of Caucasians. When the Brown vs. Board ruling was handed down, all schools were legally required to be integrated. This process was not quick or smooth, and many schools, especially in the American South, were slow to integrate. For example, one famous case was that of the Little Rock Nine, nine African-American students who enrolled in the previously all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957. These nine students were the first students to attempt to integrate in Arkansas, and they faced discrimination in the classroom and picket lines on their way into school. The Arkansas National Guard was called in to ensure the students were safe and able to attend school.
Black students had to start later in the year because typically, black students had to go to school when the weather was not very good to allow the white kids to go during good weather.
Separate schools for white student and black students are naturally unequal.
You are referring to "segregation." After President Lincoln freed the slaves, many southerners were bitterly unhappy about it. Their solution was racial segregation, a system rooted in racism and based on a misreading of Scripture which claimed that black people had been cursed (the Bible says no such thing) and that blacks and whites were supposed to be separate. In the south, segregation was "de jure" (by law) whereas in other parts of the United States, it was "de facto" (by custom), but in both cases, the end result was that black students attended inferior schools (many of which had no college preparatory courses); often were forced to live in inferior neighborhoods; and in the south, were forbidden from attending good colleges or seeking careers in certain occupations. Up north, where black students did attend schools with white students, some were able to get into college and achieve, but the popular culture continued to reinforce the idea that white people were superior, and even in integrated schools, expectations for black students were often quite low. Segregation ended with the Supreme Court's 1954 "Brown vs. Board of Education" ruling, but the attitude that racial separation was necessary and desirable persisted amongst many white southerners well into the 1960s and 1970s.
Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark Supreme Court case in which it was decided black and white students should no longer be segregated. Brown II revisited the case with regard to how quickly the schools should change their procedures of segregation. In a ruling known as Brown II, the Supreme Court ordered the immediate implementation of Brown v. Board of Education.

It declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students unconstitutional.

During the nineteen sixties, when the equal rights movement was making waves, black students began to branch out of their segregated schools to attend integrated schools. The University of Columbia and Berkeley College were among the top schools for black college students.
This decision actually declared that states' practices where separate schools be used to educate white children and black children was unconstitutional. It overturned an 1896 decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, which allowed segregation in public schools to be sponsored by individual states.

The Supreme Court held that even if the black schools were as good as the white schools, that the act of segregation itself was harmful to the students. It held that segregation denied students many educational opportunities. It was determined that "separate but equal" was not acceptable, and integration began.
