Supreme Court Upholds School Integration Order
The Supreme Court refused to delay the six state school integration order set for the fall, denying a request by six Louisiana school boards.

The decision preserves earlier circuits’ authority to issue blanket desegregation orders and preserves the constitutional mandate from 1954.
