Statement by James M. Nabrit, III, Associate Counsel NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. January 14, 1970 We understand today's Supreme Court opinion to mean that it is no longer proper to wait until next September to carry out desegregation and school districts must act during this school year to effect integration. The LDF will take prompt action in the lower courts to insure that the Supreme Court's mandate is carried out in our eleven school districts involved XHXYMXNAa in today's order and will take similar action in a large number of our 217 school cases in the South. =30— Read to Supreme Court reporters FO
