Secretary seeks delay in desegregation plan for Mississippi schools
Secretary Finch asks the Eleventh Circuit and three Mississippi judges to push back the effective date of a desegregation order affecting 222 schools in 33 districts from August 2 to December 1. He cites filed motions and cites terminal plans to end the dual system by the 1969-70 school year. The plan requires districts to abandon freedom of choice and implement new desegregation methods.
