Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

De facto segregation refers to segregation that occurs naturally due to factors such as residential patterns and economic inequality, rather than by law. By the late 1960s, while legal segregation had been ruled illegal, de facto segregation was still a problem in urban public schools with large minority populations. Therefore, choice B is the best answer option. Choices A, C, and D are all incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the state of segregation in public schools during this time period.
