Virginia School Opening Urged By Attorney General
Atty Gen Robert F Kennedy urged reopening Prince Edward County Virginia public schools on a desegregated basis calling it a disgrace to education and country. The Justice Department filed to enter the case as friend of the court as about 1500 Negro children have had little formal schooling in over three years. The county closed its schools in 1959 after a federal order ending segregation.
