Judge Rejects One-Year Delay in Desegregating New Kent Schools
A federal judge rejected a one-year delay in desegregating New Kent County schools and ordered a plan for desegregation to be submitted within 21 days. The ruling did not reject the pupil assignment plan but dismissed the timing feature delaying effectiveness to September 1969. County officials warned of risks but argued plan could begin this September. NAACP counsel opposed the delay, framing it as harmful to progress.
