Keyes v. School District No.

1, DENVER COLO. 413 U.S. 189 (1973)

Facts

A district court ordered the desegregation of a Denver school district since a certain area had been intentionally segregated. The school board (D) had gerrymandered the districts to deliberately segregate schools. Keyes (P) wanted system-wide relief, but the court did not order system-wide desegregation since it did not find intentional segregation in other areas. The court of appeals affirmed.
