Abstract
A survey of students and teachers in 175 Southern biracial high schools finds that community conflict early in the desegregation process is associated with lower racial tension and black student alienation a few years later. We hypothesize that this is because conflict creates stronger cohesion within the black community and greater support for school desegregation among blacks, which in turn lead to less tension in the schools. The data provide little support for two alternative hypotheses.
