Universal suffrage and school desegregation both aimed to dismantle systemic barriers that denied equal rights and opportunities to marginalized groups, particularly African Americans in the United States. Both movements emerged from broader civil rights struggles, advocating for equality and justice. They sought to ensure that all individuals, regardless of race or gender, could fully participate in democracy and access quality education. Ultimately, both were pivotal in advancing social equity and challenging discriminatory practices entrenched in American society.

The desegregation of Caroline County, Maryland school system was completed in 1967. It was a result of the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 provided the federal government with additional powers to enforce school desegregation. By tying federal funding to compliance with desegregation mandates, the act incentivized states and school districts to accelerate the integration process. This legislation aimed to address educational inequalities and promote equal access to quality education for all students, regardless of race.
Universal suffrage hasn’t occurred. There are still millions of women in this world that have no rights, can’t vote, can’t go to school, and aren’t free to take certain jobs.
