High Court’s?
New Ruling]
Unanimous f
WASHINGTON (IP) The Supreme Court ruled t
today in an historic decision that racial segregation in ,
public schools is unconstitutional. %
Speaking for an unanimous court, Chief Justice 1
Earl Warren said education must be available to all on 1
an equal basis.
The decision, a sweeping victory for Negroes, is a
probably the most important in U. S. race relations a
since the famous Dred Scott decision of 1857, which ?
held that a Negro was not a citizen.
The Civil War reversed that 'H
leclsion. /
Warren said because of the wide V
■amification of the decision, form
ilation of specific decrees will be ■
ielayed until further arguments I
lave been heard.
But the court by Warren’s opin- I
on today laid down the rule that ’
segregation Is "a denial of equal
protection of the laws” to Negroes.
This is the phraseology of the
14th Amendment to the Constitu
tion, on which the Negroes relied
In bringing their case.
Today's decision was taker: in
four cases brought originally in
four states—South Carolina, Vir
ginia, Deleware and Kansas.
In asking further assistance {pm
the parties’ in the cases in formu
lating specific decrees, the court
said it would consider whether Ne
gro children should be admitted
forthwith to schools of their choice
or whether the court has authority
to “permit an effective gradual
adjustment."
Should the court act along these |
lines, it would also want to know
whether a special master would be
needed to hear evidence on what I
the decrees should contain, or
whether the court itself should |
formulate the decrees: or whether
the court should send the cases
back to the lower courts for this
purpose.
If the cases do go back to the
lower courts, Warren said, the
Supreme Court wants advice on
What directions to give the lower <
tribunals as to contents of the de- .
crees and procedures to' be- fol
lowed.
Some nine million white and I
2,650,000 Negro children attend ,
separate schools In 17 states and ‘
the District of Columbia.
Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico
and Wyoming also have segregation •
