Letter from a Birmingham Jail –
“We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. … For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, … that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

Affirmative Action Following the passage of the Civil
Rights Bill of 1964, increased efforts have been made by the government to ensure public institutions, such as universities, hospitals, and police forces, are more representative of the populations they serve

Busing….
As a result of Brown v Board, Wilmington schools were required to desegregate but in reality, schools in the city remained predominantly black, while the suburban schools in the county outside the city limits remained predominantly white.
Predominantly black Wilmington districts were required to attend school in the predominantly white suburb districts, while students from the predominantly white districts were required to attend school in the predominantly black districts
![Page 109: The Civil Rights Movement](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110404/56812ec1550346895d9462d0/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
In many cases, this required students to be bused a considerable distance (12 to 18 miles in the Christina district) due to the distance between Wilmington and some of the major communities of the suburban area (such as Newark).
![Page 110: The Civil Rights Movement](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110404/56812ec1550346895d9462d0/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
The requirements for maintaining racial balance in the schools of each of the districts was ended by the District Court in 1994, but the process of busing students to and from the suburbs for schooling continued largely unchanged until 2001,
In the 1990s, Delaware schools would utilize the Choice program, which would allow children to apply to schools in other school districts based on space.
As of now, Delaware has a high rate of children who attend private schools, magnet schools, and charter schools due to the perceived weakness of Delaware Public Schools
