Abstract	A comparison of major city school systems in 10 Southern States shows clearly that Louisville has the worst record in both student and faculty segregation. And the very high ratio of black students to black teachers shows that Louisville trails all the other 11 systems in this study in the vital area of hiring black teachers. Four comparisons show just how far Louisville has fallen behind the rest. (1) In 1968, only three of the 11 city school systems included in this report had less segregation of elementary school students than Louisville. Today all have less segregation than Louisville. (2) In 1968, six systems had less segregation of junior high school students than Louisville. Today, all have less segregation than Louisville. (3) In 1968 three systems had less segregation of senior high school students than Louisville. Today, only Atlanta has more segregation. (4) In 1968, only two systems had less segregation of elementary school teachers. Today, all have less segregation than Louisville. There is no evidence that the disparity in curriculum and programs that does exist in Louisville's segregated educational facilities today does not limit educational opportunities for black students.
