Summary

Sample Flashcards

What was 'white flight'?
The movement of white families from cities to suburbs after desegregation. Left inner cities with declining tax revenue, fewer services, and concentrated poverty. One of the main reasons why legal desegregation did not produce actual integration in housing and schools.
What was the Fair Housing Act (1968)?
The last major civil rights law — banned racial discrimination in housing sales and rentals. Passed April 11, 1968, one week after King's assassination. Difficult to enforce because housing discrimination is hard to prove. De facto segregation continued despite the law.
