Outline

Summary:
I will be looking at the desegregation busing protest itself and how it affected the white community. The reaction to the disturbance in predominantly white neighborhoods lead to violent protests, white flight and relocation.

Historical Section:

·         The changes in black and white neighborhood throughout each decade in relation to race

·         Injustices in the African American Community during desegregation busing

·         How gender and age played a factor during the 1970’s especially with busing

·         Legal history of desegregation during the 1900’s

·         How effective the Supreme Court was in the white and black community.

·         Process of desegregation

Rhetorical  Section:

·         People in white neighborhoods who protested the desegregation busing said that there was an uproar not because of race but was an inconvenience financially.

·         The problem at hand is the negative feedback from the movement

·
