Integrationists Far From Breakthrough in Deep South
In August 1956 the Deep South shows limited progress on school integration after the 1954 Supreme Court ruling. States like Maryland and Texas show pockets of action, but Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana resist. Virginia faces court-ordered integration possibly delayed by appeal. Tennessee politics signal a push for stronger segregation laws in 1957. Memphis politics tilt toward segregation while St. Louis schools remain about 20 percent Black.
