Pointer rules on desegregation in Alabama schools
U S District Judge Sam C Pointer Jr ruled that Calhoun County and Oxford city school boards must follow court ordered desegregation plans despite Gov Wallace executive orders. The judge cited a 1963 Alabama Supreme Court advisory opinion limiting the governor's authority over schools and urged boards to remain under court supervision. The hearing reflected clashes between court decrees and political directives, with Wallace’s absence noted.
