Faubus Prepares Three Segregation Bills for Special Session
Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus announced three segregation bills for immediate submission as lawmakers prepare for a special session. One would postpone Central High School opening, another would allow the governor to close Central High to avoid desegregation, and a third would let white students displaced by a closed school transfer their state aid to open districts. The move comes as the Supreme Court convenes for a rare session on Central High, following NAACP requests to reopen the school to nine Black students who attended last year.
