Governors endorse nondiscriminatory education and restraint on busing
In Williamsburg Virginia the Southern Governors Conference backed nondiscriminatory education for every child and urged restraint in busing for integration. The compromise resolution by Gov Godwin won 9 to 3 after a vote split with Brewer whose anti busing measure failed. The conference also elected Rockefeller as chair and planned to meet next year in Biloxi Mississippi.
