Abstract

[The 1964 Civil Rights Act marked a culmination of congressional negotiation and internal pressure from the Civil Rights Movement. The act gave the federal government the power to fulfill civil rights promises to millions of citizens whose race, color, and national origin had prevented full participation in the American society. One of the fundamentally important areas the Civil Rights Act addressed was the desegregation of schools. Schools have been a major target for social policy in the United States—continuing the nation’s proclivity to attempt massive social change through its public schools. Reformers have offered schools as a vehicle for equal educational opportunity time and again throughout American history. Though this has not always meant equality or an equal outcome, minimal standards for all has been an essential component for equal educational opportunity.1]
