Did Integrating Our Public Schools Help Eliminate Racism?

Movies like "Selma" and "The Help" generate a lot of conversation among whites and blacks about racism in the past and how far we've come since then. The push for school desegregation in the 1950's was for the purpose of making sure all students received the same high quality education, and also to remove barriers of fear and hate between races of people. The question is, did it work? Are whites who went to integrated schools noticeably different in attitude than those who went to all white schools? Are blacks who went to integrated schools better equipped to interact intellectually and socially with whites than those who did not? Was school integration a benefit or not? If school desegregation was a successful strategy to create racial harmony, where and how did the adults today get indoctrinated with the philosophy of white supremacy?
