Continuance Denied in Mississippi School Desegregation Suit
The 5th U S Circuit Court in New Orleans denied a summary reversal of a continuance in the Monroe City School System case. Paul Kidd and Robert McLeod failed to force immediate hearing before Judge Ben C Dawkins after the judge granted a 30 day postponement due to the school board attorney’s prior engagements. The suit alleges the board acted with arrogance and failed to meet racial ratios, gerrymandered zones, and discriminatory athletic administration at Monroe High.
