Explanation

The Brown v. Board of Education ruling required public schools to end racial segregation, but many Southern communities resisted. State governments and officials often opposed or tried to block desegregation, and many schools refused to admit African American students. Protestors harassed students who attended formerly all-white schools, while some white families withdrew their children from integrated schools. Therefore, the claims that most governors supported desegregation or most schools welcomed African American students are not accurate.
