Abstract

When St. Louis schools were desegregated starting with Catholic schools in 1947 and St. Louis public schools after the Brown v. Topeka Board of Education decision, not everyone supported the changes. Sarah Siegel compares the responses to desegregation by Catholics and Jews in the city’s west end.
