Formal school integration left segregated social worlds where black children remained tenuous guests.

Evidence

School integration did have the ripple effect of at least partially integrating related institutions such as sports leagues, which often drew upon school groups to form teams. While my elementary-school-age soccer teams were mostly white, we typically had two or three African American players. But there were clear episodic reminders that while my fellow black students attended the same schools and had the same teachers, we still lived in strikingly segregated social worlds, and that when those worlds overlapped, my black classmates and friends were tenuous guests in a world of white dominance. — Robert P. Jones, White Too Long, 145
