Well, maybe I misread this, but it appears to me that there was not forced segregation:

"The public schools of Washington, D.C., were among the first in the nation to successfully integrate."

And all this took place pretty early:

"On September 13, 1954, less than four months after Bolling v. Sharpe, schools across the city opened with integrated faculties and student bodies."

I read this as forced integration, rather than forced segregation.
