I mean I'm not going to say no to interesting citations, if you're inclined to find it, but I don't have much specialized knowledge in this area. I was just re-posting that other comment, because I'd just read it and thought it was interesting and on-topic here too.

He found that the black siblings who were exposed to more years of desegregation tended to do better. They graduated from high school and college in higher numbers, earned higher incomes, went into more prestigious occupations, enjoyed better health and were less likely to go to jail. The study of siblings is important because it compares kids with the same parenting, family income and home neighborhoods. Presumably they had similar upbringings, which gives more weight to the conclusion that a desegregated education made a difference.

Meanwhile, desegregation had no effect — positive or negative — on how white children fared, according to this study.
