<dc_description>In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that segregated schools were unconstitutional. However, the Court did not specify how the ruling would be implemented. A year later, the Court issued a second ruling, known as Brown II, which declared that school districts should act &quot;with all deliberate speed&quot;. The Court&apos;s opinion, which didn&apos;t specify a time frame, reflected the tension between those who insisted on immediate integration and those who opposed it.</dc_description>
