NAACP Sues Arlington over School Desegregation Plan
A federal motion asks Judge Albert V. Bryan to order Arlington County School Board to draft and promptly implement an adequate desegregation plan. Twenty two Negro children who were rejected from white schools last fall seek enforcement and access to nonracial admission and assignments. The board previously upheld rejections, with four admitted to Stratford Junior High in February. The Fourth Circuit directed reevaluation of the 26 rejections in March.
