Final Approval Of Bill To Block School Integration
Gov. Jimmie H. Davis signed emergency legislation to shield state sovereignty from federal courts and block public school integration in Louisiana.

The House prepared to concur, as federal court orders loomed for the November 1 start of integration, while the governor signaled drastic steps to enforce segregation.
