September 9, 1970 - Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system is integrated.
|

 |
||
| Until 1970, desegregation meant that one or a few individual African American students enrolled in an all-white school. Now, for the first time, black and white children are bused to truly integrate all the schools. There are no more all-white or all-black schools. Meanwhile, the school board continues to appeal the Swann case, the judgment that has forced them to integrate. | ||
