Desegregation Plan Submitted for Huntsville Schools
Negro attorneys for Huntsville parents presented a plan in U S District Court to desegregate the first six grades of Huntsville public schools. The proposal argues for redrawing zone lines without racial discrimination and contrasts with the board of education plan that would desegregate some 12th grade classrooms this month and 11th and 12th next fall. The attorney plan seeks gradual desegregation starting with grades 1-6 in 1964, grades 7-9 by 1965, and grades 10-12 by 1966.
