Tension cited as judge blocks Georgia desegregation
A federal judge cites racial tension in blocking the first voluntary school desegregation in Georgia. The ruling halted six Negroes from enrolling at a Brunswick high school while Savannah proceeded with admitting 21 Negro students to two white high schools. The report also notes related desegregation actions and a separate church incident in Atlanta.
