The session will hear arguments on delaying integration ordered to proceed with all deliberate speed, amid protests by the Little Rock School Board and groups seeking more time. The case centers on Judge Lemley’s June 1960 order delaying Central High integration until 1961, with the appeals court staying its decision to permit Supreme Court review.
