New York, N.Y., July 2 -- The following statement
was issued today by Jack Greenberg, Director-Counsel of the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund, in reaction to today's Supreme
Court decisions on school desegregation:
Today's Supreme Court decision in the Dayton
and Columbus school desegregation cases will have a
major and positive effect on the fifty active school
desegregation cases currently on our docket. LDF lawyers
are preparing for a hearing next week in Austin concerned
with some of these same issues and are preparing a brief
in the Dallas school case that will be positively affected
by the decisions. We shall make motions in other pending
cases demanding complete and immediate relief. The decision
insures that integration in public education will continue
and advance as a national program.
