Abstract: The 1954 "Brown" decision and its 1955 enforcement decree were merely keystone events in a decade-long effort to replace South's elaborate system of legal segregation with type of de facto segregation found in northern, western, and midwestern cities resulting from well-defined racial barriers between neighborhoods. The traditional histories have largely ignored the back-room, southern planning sessions to forestall desegregation. (MLH)
