Dallas Independent School District Announces Plan to Desegregate Schools ca. 1961
Description
Despite the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Dallas was slow to desegregate its school system. In 1961, the Dallas Independent School District implemented a "Stairstep Plan" that would gradually introduce African-American students. The plan, however, still left the schools highly segregated. In 1970, Sam Tasby filed a lawsuit against the Dallas Independent School District, after his son was denied admission to an all-white school. As a result, the school district was handed a desegregation order that was not lifted until 2003.
