Editing Desegregation busing (section)

=== Indianapolis, Indiana ===
Institutional [[Racial segregation in the United States|racial segregation]] was coming to light in Indianapolis in the late 1960s as a result of [[Civil rights movements|Civil Rights reformation.]] U.S. District Judge [[S. Hugh Dillin]] issued a ruling in 1971 which found the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) district guilty of ''[[de jure]]'' racial segregation. Beginning in 1973, due to federal court mandates, some 7,000 African-American students began to be bused from the IPS district to neighboring township school corporations within [[Marion County, Indiana|Marion County]]. These townships included [[Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township|Decatur]], [[Franklin Township Community School Corporation|Franklin]], [[Metropolitan School District of Perry Township|Perry]], [[Metropolitan School District of Warren Township|Warren]], [[Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township|Wayne]], and [[Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township|Lawrence]] townships. This practice continued on until 1998, when an agreement was reached between IPS and the [[United States Department of Justice]] to phase out inter-district, one-way busing. By 2005, the six township school districts no longer received any new IPS students.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.history.in.gov/inequality-remade-residential-segregation-indianapolis-public-schools-and-forced-busing/|title = Inequality Remade: Residential Segregation, Indianapolis Public Schools, and Forced Busing|date = 16 February 2017}}</ref>
