Who started busing in our schools?

Busing in schools began as a means to achieve racial integration following the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. The practice was implemented in various cities across the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, with notable examples in Boston and Charlotte. Local school boards and federal courts played significant roles in initiating and enforcing busing policies to promote desegregation.
