DEPENDANTS.

Complaint

1. Jurisdiction of this Court is invoked pursuant to 28 
U.S.C. § 1343(3) and (4). This is a suit in equity authorized 
by 42 U.S.C. § 1983, which seeks to redress the deprivation 
of rights assured and protected by the Fourteenth Amend­
ment to the Constitution of the United States.

2. Plaintiffs seek a temporary restraining order and pre­
liminary and permanent injunctions enjoining defendants 
from providing, or permitting the distribution or sale of, 
state purchased and owned textbooks to private racially 
segregated schools and academies.

19



20

3. The named plaintiffs herein, Delores Norwood, Van 
Siggers, Audrey Shanda "Woodard and Andrew Galloway 
are black citizens of the United States residing in Tunica 
County, Mississippi. They are students in attendance at the 
public schools of the Tunica County School District. Their 
right to a racially integrated and otherwise non discrimina­
tory public school system, vindicated by order of this Court 
dated January 23,1970 [United States and Driver v. Tunica 
County School District, Civil Action Nos. DC 6718 and 
7013], and their right to the elimination of state support 
for racially segregated schools, has been frustrated and/or 
abridged by the creation of the racially segregated Tunica 
County Institute of Learning and the policies and practices 
of defendants as set forth below. The named plaintiffs are 
represented herein by their parents.

4. The named plaintiffs bring this action as a class action 
pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 
They sue in their own behalf and in behalf of students 
throughout the state of Mississippi who are aggrieved by 
the policies and practices of defendants complained of 
herein. The members of the class on whose behalf plaintiffs 
sue are so numerous so as to make it impracticable to bring 
them all individually before the Court, but there are com­
mon questions of law and fact involved and common griev­
ances arising* out of common wrongs. A common relief is 
sought for plaintiffs and all members of the class. The 
plaintiffs fairly and adequately represent the interests of 
the class. The policies and practices of defendants com­
plained of herein are applicable to the plaintiff class gen­
erally. Moreover, the questions of law and fact common to 
the members of the class predominate over any question 
affecting only individual members and a class action is 
superior to other available methods for adjudication of the 
controversy.

5. Defendants, members of the Mississippi State Text­
book Purchasing Board (hereinafter the “ Purchasing 
Board” ), and their respective addresses are: D. L. Harri­
son, Sr., Calhoun City, Mississippi; Jim C. Barnett, Gulf­
port, Mississippi; Irene Breland, Jackson, Mississippi and 
Garvin Johnston, Jackson, Mississippi. Defendant John 
Bell Williams is Governor of the State of Mississippi and 
ex-officio chairman of the Purchasing Board.



21

6. Defendant M. A. Snowden is the executive secretary 
of the Purchasing Board. He maintains records and other­
wise administers the Purchasing Board’s programs and 
activities on a day to day basis.

7. Under the laws of the State of Mississippi, defendants 
select, purchase, distribute, loan and otherwise dispose of 
textbooks, in behalf of the State of Mississippi, for the use 
of children enrolled in the elementary and secondary schools 
in the State of Mississippi, (Miss. Code Anno. §<§> 6634, 
et. seq.). Defendants have pursued and presently pursue 
the unlawful policies and practices complained of herein 
under the color of authority vested in them by the laws of 
the State of Mississippi and the rules and regulations 
promulgated pursuant thereto.

8. Beginning with the 1964-65 school year—when the first 
school districts in Mississippi were required to integrate 
under freedom of choice—and through the present, numer­
ous private schools and academies have been either formed 
or enlarged, which schools have established as their objec­
tive and/or have had the effect of affording the white chil­
dren of the State of Mississippi racially segregated elemen­
tary and secondary schools as an alternative to racially 
integrated and otherwise non-discriminatory public schools.

9. The defendants have provided these racially segre­
gated schools and academies and the students attending 
such schools, either through sale or loan, textbooks pur­
chased and owned by the State of Mississippi and have 
thereby provided state aid and encouragement to racially 
segregated education and have thereby impeded the estab­
lishment of racially integrated public schools in violation of 
plaintiffs’ rights assured and protected by the Fourteenth 
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

W h e r e e o e e , plaintiffs respectfully pray that this Court:
1. Forthwith enter an order requiring an accounting by 

defendants of all textbooks purchased from the State of 
Mississippi or on loan from the State of Mississippi by 
private schools and/or the students enrolled therein;

2. Forthwith enter an order preliminarily enjoining de­
fendants to immediately recall, and otherwise assure the 
return to state depositories, all textbooks owned by the 
State of Mississippi presently being used by students in 
attendance at private schools which have already been



22

adjudged by other United States Courts both in Mississippi 
and the District of Columbia as racially segregated and 
which have been formed to provide white students with an 
alternative to racially integrated and non-discriminatory 
public schools;

3. Forthwith enter an order preliminarily enjoining de­
fendants from any further sale or distribution of state 
owned textbooks to any private school and/or students 
enrolled therein without first notifying plaintiffs herein and 
obtaining the approval of this Court;

4. Thereafter permanently enjoin defendants from dis­
tributing any state owned textbooks to any private school 
and/or students enrolled therein without first notifying 
plaintiffs and obtaining approval of this Court and without 
first establishing that the private school is racially inte­
grated both as to students and faculty and has not had the 
effect of frustrating or impeding the establishment of 
racially integrated public schools.

5. Grant such additional or alternative relief as the Court 
deems just and equitable.

The Requesting Judge (1) above named to whom an ap­
plication for relief has been presented in the above cause 
having notified me that the action is one required by Act of 
Congress to be heard and determined by a District Court of 
three Judges, I, John R. Brown, Chief Judge of the Fifth 
Circuit, hereby designate the Circuit Judge (3) and District 
Judge (2) named above to serve with the Requesting Judge 
(1) as members of, and with him to constitute the said Court 
to hear and determine the action.

This designation and composition of the three-Judge 
court is not a prejudgment, express or implied, as to 
whether this is properly a case for a three-Judge rather 
than a one-Judge court. This is a matter best determined

26



27

by the three-Judge Court as this enables a simultaneous 
appeal to the Court of Appeals and to the Supreme Court 
without the delay, awkwardness, and administrative in­
sufficiency of a proceeding by way of mandamus from either 
the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court, or both, directed 
against the Chief Judge of the Circuit, the presiding Dis­
trict Judge, or both. The parties will be afforded the oppor­
tunity to brief and argue all such questions before the three- 
Judge panel either preliminarily or on the trial of the 
merits, or otherwise, as that Court thinks appropriate. See 
Jackson v. Choate, 5 Cir., 1968, 404 F.2d 910, Jackson v.
