Abstract:
Black adults experience worse cognitive function than their White peers. Although educational attainment is an important predictor of cognitive function, other aspects of education, including school desegregation, may also shape this relationship. For Black adults who grew up in the U.S. South in the 1950s–1970s, exposure to school desegregation may have altered life course pathways critical for later cognitive function.
