A second rural Tennessee school opens voluntary desegregation with five Negro students to attend Livingston Academy for the first time while ten Negroes begin classes at Clay County High School in Celina. The nationwide wave includes demonstrations in Atlanta and Athens with arrests in Gadsden and Pine Bluff as court orders push gradual desegregation in Memphis and Jackson City schools by 1970.
