Court Reverses Integration Order In Virginia Case
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district court order to merge Richmond city schools with Henrico and Chesterfield Counties to achieve racial balance. In a 5-1 decision, the court ruled a federal judge cannot compel a state to restructure internal government for desegregation unless there is invidious discrimination. The ruling cites federalism and notes Richmond’s schools are 64 percent black, Henrico 2 percent white, and Chesterfield 91 percent white.
