Integration of schools in 1970 brought a lot of changes and adjustments for both white and black students.
No more school bus racing, (separate but equal buses) with two race based buses on the same roads. The bus in front would delay the other bus, so arriving at a certain intersection first often meant a difference in major time getting home. Both fun and frustration was in this mix of rushed bus wide team work back in this era.
With integration came the an awakening of all involved. One of the more poignant moments was when a black student asked the black teacher with his class that had been integrated over if the extra 5 points were still available for putting their name on the test???
We were and still are in different times.

That happens for all students now, not just the black ones. Equality the leftist way means everyone gets dumbed down equally.
People don’t often realize this but separate but equal was expensive, increasing the cost of education, frequently in communities that were just getting by. Whites in poor communities were adversely affected by these costs. Both in terms of resources available to each child and extra taxes to pay for it.
As for blacks, well there was a time many black communities valued education and I will here opine that as race grievance hustlers pushed the envelope on what constituted what they now call white supremacy, and in doing so made being educated somehow associated with being white in black subculture, they helped dumb down people too, not just keeping them unhappier and angrier than they’d otherwise be.
And now white woke nitwits are joining in with the effort ... they may not be the KKK but if the old school bigots of yesteryear could see them now they’d be applauding because the woke are helping to do what the Klan failed to do: destroy black families, murder half their babies, and popularize a subculture that values anger and emotion over information and pride over facts.
The Woke aren’t the Klan ... they’re worse. And the Klan was pretty damn bad to begin with.
