  6. Brightly lit Vidalia High with a fresh library stands in stark contrast to worn Ferriday High, surrounded by barbed wire and 90% Black, highlighting persistent inequalities in Louisiana’s Concordia Parish, still under court-ordered desegregation after 60 years. Now, under pressure from Gov. Landry and AG, the Justice Department plans to start unwinding these historic orders, claiming they’re outdated relics. Critics view this as an erosion of civil rights gains, while proponents say it eases burdens on districts. Is it a step toward equality or a setback?

  11. The only reason to pursue this case is to prove you are a #racist asshole.

    The #Trump admin’s efforts to overturn a 1960s #school #desegregation court order is facing pushback…

    After the judge refused to close the books on a desegregation case dating back to the 1960s, the school system & #Louisiana filed an appeal…

    The school system has become a focal point in the admin’s attempt to end legal cases that reach back to the #CivilRights era.

  16. Federal troops escorted nine brave Black students into Little Rock Central High School, enforcing desegregation.

    🎓 A Sonnet for Integration:

    They walked through walls of spit and shouted hate,
    Their books held tight like shields against the storm.
    Though fear and rage stood guard at every gate,
    They carved a path to make the future form...

  27. US District Judge Dee Drell has yet to decide on the request.

    #Trump’s #DOJ & #Louisiana’s AG have worked to end older #desegregation cases they claim are no longer needed. In April, they lifted a 1965 order in LA’s #PlaqueminesParish.

    #Concordia’s filing says the orders interfere with local control.

    In July, the #NAACP Legal Defense Fund filed a brief arguing that there is “significant evidence that vestiges of #discrimination continue to harm #Black #students” in Concordia’s #schools.

  32. WTAF?

    The #Trump administration is siding with a #Louisiana #SchoolDistrict that says it should be released from decades-old #desegregation orders that some advocates say are still needed to address racial disparities.

    In a motion filed Friday, the DOJ & the #ConcordiaParish #SchoolBoard agreed to dismiss a 1960s case that required the small district to integrate its #PublicSchools. Court orders have remained in place to address lingering impacts of #segregation.
