Dismissal Of Giles County Negro Teachers Protested
In Giles County Virginia a legal fight looms over the dismissal of seven Negro public school staff as the county prepares total school integration. The State Pupil Placement Board ordered Negro students placed in white schools, closing the Negro school Bluff City High and Elementary.

Principal Laurence H Leftwich and six teachers including Mary F Montgomery Sylvia D Austin Sylvia J Harvey Mary A Franklin Alma G Spivey and Hugh Woodliff are affected.
