1970 - Charlotte Mecklenburg School System is Integrated

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.
• West Charlotte Assistant Principal, Leroy "Pop" Miller, meets white students as they leave the buses on the first day of total integration
