Supreme Court weighs busing to desegregate Richmond schools
The Supreme Court takes up a case on whether federal judges may order busing across school district lines for desegregation. The dispute centers on a 1972 Merhige order to merge Richmond's largely black schools with nearby white districts, affecting about 78 000 students. The 4th Circuit reversed, ruling judges lack authority to cross district lines. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund supports restoring Merhige's order. the Virginia State Board of Education and the Nixon administration back the circuit ruling. Similar suits are pending in multiple cities nationwide.
