Columbus Board of Education v. Penick
Definition
- Columbus Board of Education v. Penick (1979) significantly affected the education of African Americans because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that even if there was no statutory mandate to have separate schools for African American and White students, a school system's segregation intent could be inferred from its decisions on school construction and attendance zones where they ignored the resultant unconstitutional disparities. In Columbus Board of Education v. Penick, African Americans parents were protesting the resegregating of Columbus schools—which occurred in the early 1900s, after a brief period in which segregated schools had been declared illegal—and still continued in the second half of the century as a result of the board of education's efforts to maintain a dual system.
