Abstract | Fifty years after "Brown v. Board of Education" (1954) (Brown I), American schools remain racially separate and radically unequal in both per pupil expenditures and student performance. Although "de jure" school segregation is still illegal, "de facto" racial segregation is increasing. In order to understand why schools are resegregating it is necessary to understand the historical and legal failures of the desegregation process. The legal and historical analysis of federal race based equity case law has previously been done in depth (Orfield, Eaton, Harvard Project on School Desegregation., 1996; Parker, 2000; Rossell & Hawley, 1983). While macrolevel analysis is important, the author believes it is useful to examine the desegregation process on a smaller scale. To this end this article seeks to examine desegregation in Pennsylvania generally and Philadelphia specifically to understand the goals and failings of desegregation litigation. The author begins with a brief overview of Supreme Court desegregation jurisprudence because it provides context for Pennsylvania's desegregation process, and then examines the thirty-year process of desegregation in Philadelphia.
