In Kentucky, school desegregation unfolded through a series of legal battles and gradual policy changes following the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Many communities faced resistance, leading to protests and delays in implementing desegregation plans. While some schools integrated relatively smoothly, others experienced significant tensions and pushback from parents and local authorities. Overall, the experience varied widely across the state, reflecting a mix of progress, conflict, and adaptation to new educational norms.
