A. The Court didn't say exactly when schools had to integrate.
The Supreme Court's ruling in Brown vs. the Board of Education in 1954 didn't specify a timetable; it simply declared segregation illegal. Because schools were so reluctant to integrate, the Supreme Court actually issued a second ruling, in 1955, in Brown vs. the Board of Education II (or just Brown II for short). In that ruling they said schools should integrate "with all deliberate speed," but schools like the one in Little Rock still were in no hurry to comply.
