It Violates
14th Amendment
WASHINGTON (UP)
Negro attorneys urged the
Supreme Court today to end
racial segregation in public

the high court opened two days of
historic hearings on the issue.

in schools is a direct violation of
the 14th Amendment and its guar

Americans regardless of creed, color

He said the amendment was in

which is America’s sorry heritage
from slavery.”
