Description

"This headline article highlights the court proceedings leading up to the integration of Clinton High School. As stated in the article’s title, a bill was filed in the Chancery Court of Anderson County to prevent state funding for Clinton High School as long as black students are allowed to enroll. The bill listed several Clinton citizens as complainants, although many of these people are quoted in the article as saying they had no idea of legal action being taken. The bill alleges that the integration decree given by the U.S. District Court of Eastern Tennessee violates the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The bill also asks that D.J. Brittain, Jr., principal of Clinton High School, be restrained from allowing and/or forcing black students to attend Clinton High School and that any such integration would be ruled unconstitutional.   "
