There's no single date marking the beginning of special education classes for Black students in Mississippi. The implementation was gradual, inconsistent, and significantly hampered by segregation and unequal resource allocation. While some limited services might have existed in certain areas earlier, widespread access to special education for Black children in Mississippi only began to emerge after the landmark *Brown v. Board of Education* Supreme Court decision in 1954, and even then progress was slow and uneven. The federal government's involvement in mandating equal access to education further pushed this, but significant disparities persisted for many years after.
Therefore, it's impossible to pinpoint a specific start date. The history is one of ongoing struggle for equal access rather than a clear-cut beginning.
