I'm so ancient, that I was amongst the first generation of kids to be bused for school desegregation. It was a two way street. Black kids got bused to white schools, white kids got bused to black schools. At least, that's how they did it in Miami, and the idea was to not only get black and white kids together to learn and grow up with each other, but to improve the quality of the black schools. It worked, but there was a huge upswing in white private school enrollment the first few years. Then things settled down a lot.
