Board of Ed decision to start admitting black students. In the time immediately following that judicial order many universities erupted into violence and even gubernatorial opposition. Moreover, it wasn't till 1968 that any mainstreaming of desegregation began. Exactly fifty years ago. It took less time to land a man on the surface of the moon. I would like to research the University of Kentucky further to discover how its voluntary integration truly unfolded. ]]> 2018-04-10 17:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bstocker/6ld9wswymbrb/wish/250414273 https://padlet.com/bstocker/6ld9wswymbrb/wish/251818778 Neil brought up a very good point. I was surprised to read that as well, as I initially thought that because of racial segregation, no school offered any black students the opportunity to attend a racially integrated school. 

Something else that surprised me was that to take certain courses within a community college, one did not need a high school diploma. I'm curious as to how students were admitted and bypassed admissions test? Did that mean that those specific students could go ahead and pursue a degree without a secondary education?
