GOP Civil Rights Plank Calls for School Desegregation via Courts
The Republican platform committee proposes a civil rights plank endorsing Supreme Court desegregation rulings and urging use of federal courts to end school segregation with all deliberate speed. It stresses gradual progress through study and good will and avoids endorsing force. Prominent figures Roy Wilkins and Joseph Rauh criticize the plank for not pledging an end to Senate filibusters blocking civil rights legislation. The plank aims to satisfy Southern delegates while maintaining a stance on court-backed action.
