Board of Education). The ruling for desegregation provoked significant backlash from white communities and their elected officials across the country for several decades. De facto segregation\, where racial concentration across neighborhoods resulted in the schools being predominantly minority or majo rity populations\, continued nationwide after 1954. Activists continued to push for desegregation before and after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 respectively prohibited discrimination based on race\, color\, religion\, sex\, or national origin and racial discriminati on in voting.\n\nIn 1965\, Massachusetts was the first state to legally pr ohibit racially imbalanced schools (Racial Imbalance Law of 1965). Nonethe less\, de facto segregation persisted in the state\, prompting a 1974 fede ral ruling (Morgan v. Hennigan) mandating Boston school redistricting and busing to promote greater racial balances. With resistance to desegregatio n in the community\, this landmark decision spurred both activism and riot s in the 1970s and 1980s.\n\nDrawing from materials in the John J.
