Emerson High School strike over race segregation continues
In Gary Indiana 1500 pupils faced disruption as superintendent William A Wirt warned that the Emerson High School strike would end only if students returned. A six member committee proposed conditions but was loudly rejected by the crowd while hundreds of non strikers urged segregation of the 24 black students. James Weldon Johnson of the NAACP denounced the walkout as gross commercialism of race hatred linked to the Ku Klux Klan. The NAACP pledged support for the black students.
