Introduction: The main research question that guides this research project is: Why is there still segregation in today’s society? I am writing this research paper for education and history majors. These sources will probably surprise them because, taken together, the sources I have consulted so far on my research topic reveal that yes, there is still segregation in our society, but that maybe segregation isn't exactly a bad thing. My sources prove that some groups flourish when segregated and that segregation is a choice of many. Most people, especially those students who fight for equality, believe segregation is not the answer to anything, but the journal articles I’ve read so far suggest that segregation might actually help society, rather than hinder it.
This is a surprising claim, even to me. Along with many others, I have always thought that as a well-developed country, desegregation was best for us, and that integration meant equal schooling opportunities. Contrarily, the journals and article that I have read argue that until early in the 20th century significant numbers of African Americans, if not the majority, supported the existence of separate schools. The body of my research paper will explain the beginnings of desegregation in schools; discuss the effects of it in the 21st century; and argue the point that segregation might be the right answer to good education. The conclusion will focus on a quick review of the pros and cons of segregation. I will try to open the minds of society and prove that desegregation isn’t always best.

Ok hears the problem. ASSIMLATION.
You cannot have a long term society without assimlating first. Segeragation prevents this from happening. Now what you could argue is the rate of assimlation. Pushing two opposite cultures together will cause problems, but only in the short term. The dominate culture will absorbe the smaller one, and take key feature from it thus creating a meshed culture that is its own unique creation.
