Preferred term
Calhoun v. Latimer
Definition
- Calhoun v. Latimer (1964) involved a long court battle between African American students and the Atlanta School Board over the process and timing of school desegregation. Responding to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, Kansas (1954) ruling, which said that laws denying school admission on the basis of race were unconstitutional, the Atlanta board had proposed a plan in which desegregation would have been implemented in only one class per year.
