How did efforts to register black voters differ from those to integrate higher education?

Answer 1

Efforts to register Black voters primarily focused on combating discriminatory practices such as literacy tests and poll taxes, emphasizing grassroots mobilization and legal challenges to ensure access to the ballot box. In contrast, integrating higher education institutions often involved legal battles, such as the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, and required federal intervention to dismantle segregationist policies. While both movements sought to dismantle systemic racism, voter registration efforts were more community-driven, whereas higher education integration often necessitated direct confrontation with state policies and institutions.
