New Kent School and George W. Watkins School: "These two schools are associated with the most significant public school desegregation case the U.S. Supreme Court decided after Brown v. Board of Education. The 1968 Green v. New Kent County decision defined the standards by which the Court judged whether a violation of the U.S Constitution had been remedied in school desegregation cases. Henceforth, a decade of massive resistance to school desegregation in the South from 1955-1964, would be replaced by an era of massive integration from 1968-1973, as the Court placed an affirmative duty on school boards to integrate schools."
