Integrating Hope Fades in Deep South for 1957
The 1954 Supreme Court desegregation ruling nears its third anniversary with little sign of real integration in the Deep South. In Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida minimal court actions may admit a few Black children, but widespread change is unlikely. White resistance and legal barriers persist, while Black voters focus on turnout as a tool for civil rights progress. White leaders pursue school equalization as a long term tactic to maintain separation.
