Faubus Plan Threatens Wider Little Rock Desegregation
The Little Rock School Board and Gov. Faubus clash over desegregation plans for the fall reopening. Faubus proposes splitting schools to maintain segregation in Central and Technical while integrating Hall and Horace Mann, a move the board says would push more integration than their approach of admitting a few Negroes to white schools. Fifty five Negroes registered at white schools. most would likely be assigned to Horace Mann. The district remains under federal desegregation orders.
