All Deliberate Speed?

In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board that school segregations is unconstitutional. The NAACP asked that desegregation should proceed "forthwith," but in 1955, the Court instead required states to desegregate with "all deliberate speed." In 1957, the governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, used the national guard to block black students from entiring Little Rock High School, causing President Eisenhower to call in the 101st Airborne. From there, desegregation in Little Rock was supervised by the federal courts, until such a time that the courts decided the job was done. Which finally happened.

Last week.

Seriously, this is all deliberate speed? And Little Rock isn't the last holdout, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice department is still litigating desegration, two generations later and counting.
