- Abstract
The article discusses the desegregation of public schools in Dayton, Ohio between 1966-2008. Dayton's position as an industrial city and the impact this had on the socioeconomic status of the city's residents and racial demographics is considered. A history of racial segregation in Dayton beginning in 1849 and continuing to the 20th century is presented, particularly racial discrimination in education. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and its efforts to integrate schools in Dayton in the 1930s is described. A review by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) of desegration in Dayton's schools in the late 1960s is considered.
