And?  Which para of the statute would you rely on?  (a) requires evidence of intent---the city govt run by blacks deliberately segregated black students from white?  As for (c), the result would likely be more kids attending schools close to home, so scratch that.  (e) brings you back to having to show that segregation was "the" purpose of the change.

These laws were meant to apply to the rural south, not urban areas where whites are a minority in overall population and in government.  [/quote]
