AlabamaHSfhooIs Must
End' Bfasf Text Fall
Miss. & La. Next LDF Targets
Alabama this week became the
first southern state ordered by a
federal court to desegregate all
its public school districts. The
cou?t ordered 99 school districts
to end segregation by next fall.
This unprecedented action <-i
the three judge federal court
came in response to four years
of litigation by attorneys of the
NAACP Legal Defense and Ed
ucation Fund, Inc. (LDF).
Alabama Gov. Lurleen B
Wallace, State School Superin ?
tendent Ernest Stone and in
other state officials were direct
ed by the U. S. District Court
in Montgomery to "take affir-.
mative action to disestablish all
state-enforced or encouraged
public segregation."
They were also told to "eli
minate the effects of past . . .
discrimination."
LDF Director Counsel Jack
Greenberg called the decision,
"an important step in closing the
doors to evasion of the Consti
tution and the desegregation
guidelines of the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
We plan to follow this up in
those hard core states where
massive resistance remains the
order of the day, particularly
Mississippi, Louisiana and S.
W. Georgia," he said.
This injunction marks the
first time since the Supreme
Court's desegregation ruling of
1954 that an entire state has
been placed under a single in
junction to end segregation, Mr.
Greenberg added.
The Court ruled that Gov.
Wallace and other state offic
ials have through their control
and influence over local school
boards flouted every effort to
Senator Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) congratulates his ap
pointee, Walter White of 5641 Lansdowne Ave., Phila
delphia, to the U.S. Capitol Police Force. White is a
pre-med junior at Howard University in Washington,
D.C. Senator Scott has one of the best integrated staffs
in the Nation's Capitol. <*
make the 14th amendment a
meaningful reality to Negro
school children in Alabama.
The Federal Court said that
Gov. Wallace and other state
officials had used two chief
means of encouraging local Ala
bama school boards to resist in
tegration.
* "They used thir authority as
a threat and as a means of
punishment to prevent local
school officials ... to desegre
gate schools."
* "They have performed their
own functions in such a way
as to maintain and preserve
the racial characteristics of
the system."
LDF attorneys based their
case on the successful argument
that Gov. Wallace and other
defendants:
* Exercised their pervasive
powers to frustrate local of
ficials who attempted to in
tegrate schools.
* Controlled school finances and
fiscal policies in a manner
that maintained and promoted
segregation.
* Controlled instructional pro
grams and policies in a man
ner htat maintained and pro
moted segregation.
* Controlled school construc
tion and consolidation pro
grams and policies in a man
ner that maintained and pro
moted segregation.
* Controlled school transporta
tion programs and policies in
a manner that maintained -md
promoted segregation.
LDF attorneys participating
in the Case were Fred D. Gray
berg. Charles H. Jones,
of Montgomery; and. Mr. Green
Melvyn Zarr and Henry M.
Aronson. all of New York City.
