Solution

The best evidence to support the statement "It was ultimately determined that the segregation present in Boston schools had been created by those in power" is the information provided in the last sentence: "On June 21, 1974, Garrity ruled that the School Committee of the City of Boston had 'intentionally brought about and maintained racial segregation' in the Boston public schools." This ruling directly implicates those in power (the School Committee of the City of Boston) in the creation and maintenance of segregation in Boston schools.
