Eleven Mississippi school districts opened to Negro pupils under federal desegregation orders with U S marshals observing no incidents after Christmas.

Governor Williams urged nonviolence and patience while noting private schools rising to 100 in number as a practical alternative. Public reaction varied and groups urged immediate desegregation as massive resistance rumors circulated.
