Faubus Pushes Bill to Close Schools in Defense of Rights
Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus urged legislators in a special session to empower him to close public schools such as Central High if forced to integrate. A 30 day local election would decide whether to continue closure or pursue integration, with a third measure allowing displaced students to take state aid to another district. The move follows rioting outside Central High and ahead of a Supreme Court emergency session on Little Rock school desegregation.
