Resistance to the public accommodation clause continued for years on the ground , especially in the South . When local college students in Orangeburg , South Carolina , attempted to desegregate a bowling alley in 1968 , they were violently attacked , leading to rioting and what became known as the " Orangeburg massacre . " Resistance by school boards continued into the next decade , with the most significant declines in black-white school segregation only occurring at the end of the 1960s and the start of the 1970s in the aftermath of the '' Green v. County School Board of New Kent County '' ( 1968 ) court decision
