No, Southern resistance to school integration did not collapse after 1954. While the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision declared segregated schools unconstitutional, many Southern states employed various strategies to delay and obstruct integration, including closing public schools and implementing "freedom of choice" plans that maintained segregation in practice. It wasn't until the Civil Rights Movement gained momentum in the 1960s, along with federal intervention, that significant progress was made toward integrating schools in the South.
The first school districts to integrate following the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954 were primarily in the southern United States. Notably, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District in North Carolina and the New Orleans Public Schools in Louisiana were among the earliest to implement integration measures. Additionally, the Topeka, Kansas, school district, where the case originated, also took steps toward integration soon after the ruling. These districts faced significant challenges and resistance during the integration process.
