The Little Rock school integration crisis, as it is called, occurred 52 years ago, but it's not all over. You'd think when the schools were integrated, which they quickly were even after they were shut down for a year ('58-'59), that it would all be over. But no, the on-going story appeared in the ADG this morning. The state of Arkansas is still paying a lot of money to desegrate -- or make to unitary, as we say now -- the school districts in Pulaski County.

The state is trying to shut down these payments, but the resistence is strong.
