Abstract

[“We charge that the Board of Education of the City of Chicago operates a public school system that is, in fact and by its own statistics, segregated and discriminatory on a racial basis and that the education offered Chicago’s Negro children is not only separate from, but inferior to that offered white children.”1 In 1965, the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations (CCCO), a coalition of civil rights, civic and religious groups, accused the Chicago Board of Education of willful segregation of its students in a compelling and detailed Title VI complaint sent to the United States Office of Education in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). The federal government created the 1964 Civil Rights Act to end segregation, especially in the South. Title VI of the act stipulated that programs or activities receiving federal funding could not discriminate against individuals based on race, color, or national origin. This empowered HEW to withhold federal funds from federally funded groups for noncompliance.]
