Busing in Kentucky

Kentucky was the last of the Southern states to establish a compulsory school segregation law, so it is something of a miracle that Louisville has become one of the most racially integrated school systems in the country. In 2000, a federal judge determined that Louisville had met its obligation to desegregate its schools, though the city voluntarily kept the program intact.
Busing hasn’t completely dismantled segregation, however. On the inside, my school was just as segregated as it had been before 1975.
