[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why the black population is very low in NoVA relative to MD or DC. Even if the covenants were unenforceable, the culture of the neighborhoods was still outwardly racist and hostile for decades afterwards. Desegregation of schools in NoVA did not de facto happen until the 1970s. And even then, those black kids in NoVA public schools had a very rough go of it.[/quote] Falls Church City Schools were the first to desegregate in 1961. Good history of it all here: https://fallschurchpulse.org/falls-churchs-black-history-henderson/[/quote] It is easy to say you desegregated when you gerrymandered your borders to cut out any areas that had any minorities first.[/quote]
