White children defy boycott at William Frantz School
A thin group of 17 white children passed the segregation boycott at William Frantz School in New Orleans, facing egg throwing and taunts from demonstrators. Police rebuked egg-throwers as attendance rose to the highest since integration on November 14, while no white children attended McDonogh No. 19. A minister was hit by an egg as demonstrators protested near Frantz. Separately, a federal tribunal blocked a state move to replace the New Orleans school board, and St. John’s College in Annapolis reported a budget over one million dollars with faculty salaries rising notably.
