Louisiana town resists school integration in parish
In Buras Louisiana an integrated Catholic school sits empty as protests shrink and parishioners cling to segregation. Archbishop Rummel ordered desegregation, five Negro children attended the first day, then protests led to white pupil withdrawal and continued boycotts as priests open the doors but attendance stays low. The Burns area, led by Leander Perez Sr., shows deep resistance to integration despite other Catholic schools desegregating.
