Overview: In the wake of Brown v. Board of Education, racial equality in American public education appeared to have a bright future. But for many that brightness dimmed considerably following the Supreme Court's decision in Milliken v. Bradley (1974), which emerged from Detroit's efforts to use cross-district busing to desegregate its schools and was the first such case to originate outside the South. In its controversial 5-4 decision, the Supreme ruled that, since there was no evidence that the suburban school districts had deliberately engaged in a policy of segregation, the lower court's remedy of busing school children across municipal lines was \"wholly impermissible\" and not justified by Brown--which the Court said could only address de jure, not de facto segregation. In this first book-length account of the case, Joyce Baugh provides a richly detailed account of how and why Milliken came about and analyzes its subsequent impact on both civil rights jurisprudence and public education in American cities From Plessy To Brown : The Rise And Demise Of Separate But Equal -- Metropolitan Detroit : From Boomtown To Ticking Time Bomb -- Separate But Unequal, Northern Style -- Act 48 : Decentralization Trumps Desegregation -- Cross-district Integration : Remedying Segregation Or Penalizing The Suburbs? -- Getting Off The Bus : Milliken In The Supreme Court -- Milliken Ii And The Retreat From School Desegregation.
