Petitioners Lose Round In School Segregation Fight
Anne Arundel County schools faced a court defeat as the Maryland Petition Committee and eight white parents failed to force continued segregation. Circuit Judge Benjamin Michaelson dismissed the suit to compel the Board of Education to enforce what the court deemed unconstitutional. The ruling emphasized the Supreme Court’s authority, with Williams planning an appeal and Howard and Talbot County sisters pursuing similar actions. Integrations began with no incidents across several counties as schools opened.
