Delegates at the NEA convention vote to direct affiliates in Southern states on merger plans with a mandate to begin work by July 1966. The controversy centers on whether to force integration or allow continued segregation in leadership and membership. The vote, among about 6,500 delegates, reflects deep regional splits and fear of expulsions for noncompliance.
