NEGROES & WHITES SEEK 
CONTINUED INTEGRATION 
IN OKLA.CITY SCHOOLS 

WASHINGTON, D.C.---The U.S. Supreme Court was asked today to 

uphold a U.S. District Court decision ordering a new desegregation 

plan for Oklahoma City public schools. 

However, the District Court ruling which brought more 

desegregation was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals on 

August 27. 

Associate Justice Brennan, acting as circuit justice in 

response to argument of NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, 

Inc. (LDF) attorneys, overruled the Appeals Court on Sept. 2. 

Justice Brennan gave LDF attorneys until September 17 to 

petition the entire High Court in behalf of those seeking inte- 

gration in Oklahoma City. 

The case is unvsual in that some white parents are joining 

Negroes in pursuit of integrated classes, in the lawsuit, while 

other whites are suing to stop the desegregation plan. 

The U.S. District Court concluded that a failure to execute 

the desegregation plan of the Oklahoma City School Board would 

violate the constitutional rights of the Negro student by continuing 

the condemned and unconstitutional State-imposed segregation of the 

past. 

The LDF is asking the Supreme Court to dispose of the case 

with "the least possible delay."

NOTE: ‘The LDF is a completely separate and distinct organization 

even though we were established by the NAACP and retain those 

initials in our name. Our correct designation is NAACP Legal 

Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., frequently shortened to LDF.
