The Supreme Court ruled unanimously against a bid by Louisiana school boards to delay integration across six Southern states, forcing rapid planning for integrated classrooms and school life. The decision also denied Cassius Clay’s bid to delay induction and upheld union workers’ rights not to handle prefabricated materials, with the court returning a Durham housing eviction case to state courts for further action.
