City Schools in a speech a
the recent meeting of the
Lenior County NAACP
Branch. He pointea out
that the city elementary
schools were not totally
integrated. Such a policy
now is in defiance of the
1964 Supreme Court deci
sion and a violation of the
1964 Civil Rights Act.
According lo data from the
HKW. the city system is on the
deferred list with no accept
able plan to desegregate all the
city elementary schools The
failure to comply with HKW
has meant a loss of thousands
of dollars, plus placing ail the
schools under a needless
handicap McLean admitted
that he was not here to
evaluate the Kinston City
Schools. Iiut rather to observe
and advise on the basis of the
existing data
He urged more parental
involvement m decisions af
fecting the education of their
children During the question-
and-answer period, the veteran
Civil Rights fighter recounted
his involvement in the many
epic battles to end segregation
in the Slate's public schools.
Also, he meniioned the fact
that the NAACP and the local
Branch may have lo sue for
total desegregation of the
Kinston City Schools for this is
a case where fundamental civil
and constitutional rights are
involved

Attorney General Robert F.

been gunned down by an

emerge from the convention
delegates and thought it most
likely lo start among civil

Because of the amount of

the conversations of senators,
congressmen and apparently
tens of others were recorded
from bugs planted in hotel
