Fatzer Proposes Decree To End Topeka School Segregation
U S Attorney General Harold R. Fatzer has sent a proposed decree to the Supreme Court outlining steps to end school segregation in Topeka.

The Topeka Board of Education has largely ended segregation and plans to finish the transition next fall.
