Tennessee Colleges Desegregation Plan Adopted
The Tennessee State Board of Education approved a gradual desegregation plan for state colleges. Beginning 1956 57 juniors, 1956 57 seniors, and 1959 60 freshmen would admit students of both races, with graduates in 1963 56.

In Washington on June 15 the Appropriations Committee voted to cut 6.5 million dollars for the Dixon Yates contract linking a proposed West Memphis Arkansas plant to the TVA.
