Talk:Education segregation in the Mississippi Delta

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After Brown v. Board of Education 1954, there was a rush to establish segregation academies. To be eligible for assistance in many states, the schools had to declare themselves non-denominational. Forget that many of these schools were hastily set up in church parish halls. After the 1964 Civil Rights Act and subsequent court actions, these schools had to abandon overtly discriminatory policies. The segregation academies, for the most part did non include Christian in the school name, particularly in the early years. Many, many of these schools changed names or management in the 1970s to include Christian, either in the name or the mission statement of the school. In official filings you will find the classification non-denominational.
The paragraph above in its current state is pure original research. The sources are there. An article about Bolivar and Sunflower Counties in Mississippi will broach this topic. Your thoughts? Rhadow (talk) 17:13, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

[edit]

After the AfD closes, I think that we should move this to Education Segregation in the Mississippi Delta. The definitive article (“the”) is normally used when referring to the Mississippi Delta. Billhpike (talk) 17:56, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
