I grew up on Army bases under Truman's desegregated military. I went to school with kids of all shapes, sizes and skin-tones and lived next to many of the same. The only "segregation" was Officer and Enlisted housing, but that was only a few blocks and we all went to the same school.
Those conditions can't be mandated on American citizens like they can in the military. Still, I saw the results maximizing the potential of everyone regardless of what they looked like or where their parents came from.
IMO, we should be looking at the long game and that starts with properly funding public schools. to meet a minimum national standard.
