This pamphlet seeks s an answer to that question, so urgent in southern communities where the Supreme Court decision o f 1954 is not yet accepted. C O R E (the Congress of Racial Equality) told the M ontgomery story in Our Struggle, a pamphlet in which I described the year-long boycott o f segregated buses. In this pamphlet Anna Holden tells how a C O R E group helped par­ ents and children when— despite the violence of segregationist mobs— desegregation was begun in the Nashville schools in the fall of 1957. Alex Wilson, the newspaperman who was beaten by a Little R ock mob, wrote in the Tri-State Defender that the two groups which made inte­ gration possible in Nashville were C O R E and the N egro PTA. Since C O R E was organized in 1943, its affiliated groups have worked steadily by peaceful means to end discrimination in restaurants, hotels, theaters, transportation and employment. Nashville was an important test o f non-violent techniques in the schools. The outcome suggests that the same methods can be used in other southern communities where court-ordered integration is being thwarted by terrorism. The key to success in Nashville was C O R E ’ policy of backing up the S parents— by visiting them and by escorting their children to integrated schools. If Little Rock had had a strong interracial group, Governor Faubus might have been checked without the use of federal troops.

She was research and information assistant with the Southern Regional Coun cil from 1951 to 1955. Since then she has been a research associate in social sciences at Fisk University, Nashville. In 1957 she becam e chairman o f the Nash­ ville C O R E group. Edited by J i m P e c k and A l e x a n d e r L. C r o s b y �A PSiST STEP toward sehool integration By Anna Holden in cooperation with the Nashville C O R E group “ can tell you now that I was scared that morning,”Dr. Isaac Miller I admitted to Mrs. H. W. Watson, several months later. “ had just read I the news about the Hattie Cotton School when you called and I knew they weren’ kidding when they talked about blowing up schools.” t Dr. Miller, a biochemist engaged in research at Meharry Medical College and an active member o f the Nashville Committee on Racial Equality (CORE), had first visited the Watson family just before school opened on September 9, 1957. He knew that 6-year-old Barbara Jean Watson was one of the four N egro children enrolled for the first time in Jones Elementary School, North Nashville. “ there is anything I can If do, just telephone,”he told the Watsons. On the second morning of school, Mrs. Watson needed help. The day before, carloads of segregationists had raced through the streets, carrying Ku Klux Klan placards and Confederate flags, shout­ ing insults at Negroes. M obs had gathered at most o f the seven schools where a few N egro children were entering the first grade under a grad­ ual integration plan approved by the federal district court. A shower of rocks had injured a police inspector and a N egro mother at one school. Picket signs at another school were inscribed, “ od Is the Author of G Segregation”and “ The Mayor Is A Rat.” John Frederick Kasper, the racist from New Jersey, seemed close to victory in his 2-month campaign to disrupt integration. During the latter part of August he had held meetings nightly, urging every white parent to boycott the schools. Kasper’ collaborator was Fred Stroud, s an ousted Presbyterian minister o f Nashville who had organized a church of his own. The jubilant segregationists gathered on the steps of the state capitol Monday night to whip up their emotions for more chaos. At 12:33 a.m. there was a rumbling explosion that shook houses over a wide area. A dynamite charge had partly wrecked the Hattie Cotton School— a white school where one N egro child was enrolled. 3 �Linda G ail McKinley, the girl on the cover, is taken to Fehr S ch ool by Mrs. C. M. Hayes, chair­ m an o f the PTA Intergroup Relations Committee, an d her mother, Mrs. G race McKinley. �At breakfast time Mrs. Watson telephoned Dr. Miller. “ I ever needed anybody, I needed somebody that morning,” she If recalled. “ had gotten a phone call threatening to set the house on fire I if Barbara Jean went to school. I couldn’ go off and leave the rest of t the children alone. And I knew she had to go to school.” Mr. Watson had gone to his job as a shipping clerk. Barbara Jean was dressed and ready. Dr. Miller came promptly. He drove the child five blocks to her school. Then he took her by the hand and they walked through a crowd o f jeering whites. The same morning Mrs. Charles Martin, another C O R E member, walked to the Jones School with her neighbor, Mrs. Myrtle Battle, and another first-grader, Charles Edward Battle. “ have never had people look at me like that in my life,” Mrs. I Martin said afterward. “ mean, with hate, like they wanted to kill me. I People from right there on my block. That was a long walk. When we got about two blocks from the school Mrs. Battle said, ‘ Think we’ d better turn back?’ said, ‘ not now. W e’ com e too far.’ we went I No, ve So on.” Mrs. Martin and her daughter Amelia, a college student, had urged Negroes in the vicinity to enter the neighborhood white schools. In the Glenn School area of East Nashville the Reverend R. W. Kelley o f Clark Memorial Church accompanied several children to school. B ob Schwerdtman, a graduate student at Fisk University, was another escort. Teen-age boys in the booing crowd got themselves photo­ graphed for the newspapers by standing behind Mr. Kelley, pretending to measure him for a coffin. The Bomb that Went Wrong The bom b that blasted the Hattie Cotton School did even more dam­ age to the cause of the segregationists. The vast majority of Nashville citizens was outraged. The police stopped tolerating lawlessness. AntiN egro pickets were ordered to disperse. Twenty persons were arrested in a single day for vagrancy, loitering, disorderly conduct or carrying dangerous weapons. Kasper himself was booked four times. City Judge Andrew Doyle told him: “ any blood is shed on the streets of Nashville, it will be you and If your kind that are responsible.” The crisis was soon reduced to manageable size. Kasper and his mobs were suppressed. The tide was turned because the police finally enforced the law and because a handful of N egro parents, staunchly backed by the N egro PTA, CORE, ministers and other forces of decency, persisted in sending their children to formerly white schools. 5 �How CORE Operated C O R E became active in the school situation when the Nashville Tennessean published results of the August 27 registration of firstgraders. The school board had estimated that 126 Negro children would be eligible for formerly white classes under the plan of gradual integra­ tion approved by the federal district court. But only 13 enrolled— and 6 of the 13 families immediately got threatening telephone calls. Parents o f 47 other N egro first-graders, most of them fearful, had re­ quested transfers from the integrated neighborhood schools to the allN egro schools where no white children were expected. This procedure was allowed by the court-approved plan, just as white parents in a pre­ dominantly N egro zone could transfer their children to a predominantly white school. The remaining 66 N egro beginners were not accounted for. It was obviously important to find and help them. C O R E members decided on two objectives: 1. T o support the 13 families already registered. 2. T o increase the number o f Negro children in integrated schools, if possible. The group felt that any organization dedicated to the removal o f racial discrimination could not ignore the challenge. The Negro PTA and a handful of individuals, primarily ministers, came to the same conclu­ sion. All went to work, independently but similarly. C O R E ’first step was to give its 11 members the names and addresses S o f the 13 Negro parents and children, a list of schools where Negro children were expected, and a special list of schools where the school board expected “ difficulty.” The members then paired off for work. Wherever possible, they formed interracial teams and chose schools in their own neighborhoods. The members agreed to visit the parents of registered children first and then call on other families with eligible first-graders. The strategy was to concentrate on four school districts in North and East Nashville where some Negroes had enrolled but larger numbers were expected: Glenn, Fehr, Jones and Buena Vista. A team was also assigned to Liscomb, in South Nashville, where none o f the expected five first-graders had registered. Each team was responsible for two to four enrolled families and as much additional visiting as possible. T o find unregistered families, C O R E members made the most of established contacts. A friend in the school system supplied a list of N egro children zoned for one of the neighborhood schools. A commu­ nity worker compiled a list of families with first-grade children in an­ other district. When no list was available, C O R E members inquired 6 �Mr. and Mrs. Herschell Groves and their son Erroll talk with two C O R E visitors, Mrs. Charles Martin and Anna Holden. This family never wavered. C O R E ’support was a big help, they said. S through friends or friends of friends— or walked up and down the streets, asking which families had first-graders. Some people were reluc­ tant, however, to give even that much information. For example, a fam­ ily in the Fehr district “ seemed happy when we left the yard.”Although this family had been in the neighborhood for several years, they said they did not know where any children lived. Directly across the street the C O R E team found four children. Names and addresses of all families visited were turned over to the Negro PTA, which was also giving parents real support and preparing to escort children to school. There was hope at first that the white PTA would cooperate in preparing parents for integration. The president favored this step, but it was blocked— chiefly by the opposition of a school board member who was also a PTA member. Visiting the Parents Visits to parents began during the weekend of August 31. By this time all those with listed telephones were receiving threats continuously. M ost of the anonymous callers warned of harm to the child or the parents if the youngster went to the white school where he had been registered. A White Citizens Council motorcade came to the house of 7 �one family and stopped before moving on. A threatening note was left on the porch of another house. Some families who had not registered were also threatened. A mother in the Buena Vista area was told by telephone that lye would be thrown in her daughter’ face if she went to the white school. The mother s wanted the child to enroll anyway but the father would not consent so she was transferred to a N egro school. Stroud was holding nightly meetings in his church in the Buena Vista district. Yet a C O R E team found one mother “ calm we. won­ so dered if she had any idea what sort of situation she might face when school opened.” The situation was exactly opposite in another family whose child was withdrawn before school started: The parent showed confusion and fear that the child might come to bodily harm, that the home might be damaged by vandalism, that the father might lose his job. Apparently there had been some onthe-job pressure. She said if she had felt the support o f others who had first-grade children, as well as the support o f groups like CORE, sooner, she might have been encouraged to send her child. The Reverend Will D. Campbell of the Nashville office o f the National Council of Churches visited parents during the first week o f school. He reported: I recall particularly the bravery in one mother’ voice as she re­ s lated to me, “ My little girl likes it in school, her teacher and the other children, but she keeps telling me that the people outside make so much noise. She wants to know what they are doing there. What shall I tell her?” My reply had to be that it would take someone with more wisdom than I have to explain to a 6-year-old child that the mob was outside because she was inside. Other parents said their children were beginning to suspect why the m obs had gathered. Linda Gail McKinley, one o f four N egro children in the Fehr School, was hit by a white woman on her way to school the first day. The next night, the McKinley tool shed was burned. Linda Gail had been friendly to a white C O R E member on two visits before school opened but the child clung to her aunt’ skirts when the same C O R E s member called during the mob demonstrations. Robert Alden of the New York Times wrote: It seemed to me, as an outsider, that calling a little girl filthy names or screaming at her “ pull that black kinky hair out”was as great a crime as the dynamiting o f a school. A school can be repaired. The mind o f a child, once scarred, can never be mended. �Wide World Photos Irate segregationists exchange angry words with police at the Glenn School after officers had escorted three Negro children into the school. Probably the greatest help given by C O R E members was the simple act of calling upon a worried parent. Many parents held back on the initial visit. But when they saw that C O R E had sympathetic under­ standing of their fears, the situation eased. They talked freely about their reasons for rejecting or accepting the white school for their first-grader. They spoke o f Kasper and his followers. They mentioned whites in the neighborhood who had been friendly for years but now weren’speaking. t They showed fear of m ob violence and doubt o f police protection. T o counteract these worries, C O R E members emphasized their belief that the mob was in the minority. They told about the support that various organizations and individuals were giving to the school board. They explained why C O R E was deeply interested and was prepared to accompany parents and children to school as long as might be necessary. They discussed the whole question of integration and the importance of positive action in the schools, especially since the board had taken the attitude that the initial venture was an experiment on which future plans would be based. Some members felt that all o f their visits were successful, but others cited cases where their influence was small. One visitor reported: “ I think the fact that we were an interracial team, from the same organi­ zation, did more to influence them than anything else.” 9 �V/hat the Visits Meant The informational and educational value of the C O R E visiting pro­ gram was significant. A number of parents had hazy or erroneous ideas about the first step in integration. These were cleared up by the visitors. Other families were in doubt as to what stand to take. “ We encour­ aged them to assert their citizenship rights by going to the public school nearest them,”the Reverend Mr. Kelley said. The Reverend Mr. Campbell commented: “ Very few of us feel strongly enough about anything to involve an innocent 6-year-old child. Only as these parents were led to see that the future of democracy was resting upon their own willingness or reluctance could they go through with what the situation demanded of them.” Mr. Kelley reported that more than one parent had said the family could not have stood firm if C O R E members had not helped. Noting that only 10 percent of the 126 eligible N egro children had been enrolled in white schools on August 27, he commented: “ aid to these parents If had not been given, Nashville would have failed to desegregate.” Dr. Miller summed up: “ The visits served to strengthen those who had made up their minds to go through with the program, at a time when doubts were high, threatening phone calls numerous, encouragement from Negro neighbors slight, and the prospect o f turning back very real.” Mr. Campbell said the visits meant a great deal to him personally. “ I found them rewarding because I was able to tell these parents that a great many individuals, many of them white like myself, realized that they were actually carrying the ball for the rest o f us.” Through revisits and telephone checks the C O R E teams noticed drastic fluctuations in morale. Confidence waned and waxed, fear moved in and receded, determination faltered and took on new strength. Par­ ents who seemed as solid as bedrock one day would be nervous the next. T w o actions by Federal Judge William E. Miller helped materially. On September 6 he ruled that the Tennessee school preference law was “ unconstitutional on its face” and instructed the school board to pro­ ceed with desegregation as planned. On September 16 he made perma­ nent a temporary injunction issued four days earlier, restraining Kasper and nine others from interfering with school desegregation. Score Sheet When school opened, 2 o f the original 13 enrollees had been with­ drawn— but there were 12 new parents ready to enter their children in the white neighborhood schools. Most o f them had been undecided. One, the Reverend Kelly Miller Smith, president of the Nashville 10 �NAACP, had been out of town during registration. He surprised the segregationists by taking his child to the Clemons School in South Nashville, where no Negroes were expected. Four of the additional 12 families were recorded as having originally asked for transfers to Negro schools. T w o o f these parents said the white principal had asked them if they had com e for transfers and, without waiting for answers, had begun to fill out the forms. The parents did not protest then, but decided they would revoke the transfers when school opened. After a week’ deliberation Assistant Superintendent s William H. Oliver turned down all four petitions for canceling of trans­ fers. In contrast, fast service was given to N egro parents who were frightened by the mob demonstrations and sought transfers. One mother was able to arrange a transfer from Fehr School, by telephone, in no more than an hour. C O R E kept in touch with most of the 19 families who had entered first-graders in white schools. Only nine of these children remained when the first half of the school year ended. Most o f the dropouts occurred during the tumultuous first three days of the term. Other children were withdrawn later for various reasons, such as traffic hazards and a health problem. Community Attitudes Despite Kasper’ campaign, Nashville did not expect trouble until a s few days before school opened. The city had witnessed successful de­ segregation in the parochial schools, several colleges, the public library, the municipal golf courses and the railroad station. Racial restrictions had been lifted by the local members o f the League of Women Voters, the United Church Women, the American Association o f University Women, the American Nurses Association and the National Associa­ tion of Social Workers. When Kasper, Stroud, the Ku Klux Klan and the Tennessee Federa­ tion for Constitutional Government urged the school board on August 8 to call off desegregation. President Maclin Davis o f the Nashville C om ­ munity Relations Conference presented an opposing petition signed by 600 individuals and 17 organizations. Later 300 additional signatures were submitted. The Nashville Association of Churches encouraged a number o f ministers to make appeals to their congregations the Sunday before registration. Organizations that made positive stands before the board or cooper­ ated in community-wide educational efforts included the American A sso­ ciation of University Women, B’ B ’ nai rith, Fellowship of Southern Churchmen, League o f Women Voters, Middle Tennessee Mental Health 11 �Wide World Photos Mrs. Cecil Ray and Cecil Jr. with Mrs. George Clinnard and her daughter Pamela at the end of the first day in the Jones School. Association, Nashville Association of Churches, National Association of Social Workers, Council of Colored Parent-Teacher Associations, Coun­ cil o f Parent-Teacher Associations, C IO Council, AFL Trades and Labor Council, Nashville Ministerial Association, National Council of Jewish Women, Tennessee State Nurses Association, United Church Women and the Young W omen’ Christian Association. s Only two community organizations joined the segregationists in making public stands against integration during the crisis: the Kiwanis Club and the Men’ Club of the Monroe Street Methodist Church. s During the first week of school the Reverend Mr. Kelley and Mr. Schwerdtman had several conferences with Assistant Superintendent Oliver (who has since succeeded W. E. Bass as superintendent). They tried, unsuccessfully, to convince the school official that the transfer re­ quests of four parents— made in confusion and fear— should be re­ voked so the children could enter the white schools near their homes. Mr. Oliver told his visitors that board members and administrators had discussed the advisability of putting their names on the federal injunc­ tion list with Kasper and his troublemakers. After observing the police during the first two days o f school, several C O R E members felt it had been a mistake to emphasize the promised protection. One pregnant mother, in desperation, picked up a shotgun to chase white ruffians out o f her house. 12 �Special Problems of Partial Desegregation Partial desegregation creates special problems. C O R E members re­ ported the first-grade approach made it hard if not impossible for many families to take advantage of integration. Mothers with babies or pre­ school children usually depend on an older child to escort the 6-year-old to and from school. Sending the children to different schools would require the mother to accompany the first-grader. She would then have to leave the very youngest at home alone, or else hire a baby-sitter twice a day. The problem is tougher when both parents have jobs. Aside from the practicalities, some 6-year-olds quite naturally wanted to go to schools with their older brothers and sisters. More than one parent said, “ I could send all my children to the neighborhood school, If they would go— but not the first-grader, alone.” Obstacles to Integration School Superintendent Oliver has said several times that few Negroes are interested in desegregation. He points to the small number of Negroes who entered the neighborhood schools last September. Actu­ ally the N egro enrollment was small for three principal reasons: 1. Segregated housing means segregated schools. (The school board, after painstakingly redistricting the first grade zones, estimated that only 126 out o f some 1,400 Negro first-graders would be eligible for enroll­ ment in white schools.) 2. Fears of physical and econom ic reprisal kept many eligible fam­ ilies from enrolling. 3. Other families were reluctant to break with custom. C O R E members found keen interest in desegregation among the parents they visited. Most parents wanted to send their children to the white school nearby but were torn between the long-range advantages and short-range disadvantages. They feared m ob action (particularly dynamiting), economic pressures and lack o f acceptance in the school. They had little confidence in protection promised by the police depart­ ment and city officials. Most felt the children would get along well but were dubious about the adults. The Reverend Mr. Kelley listed eight responses from parents he had talked with. One or two of these reflect unstated fears: 1. “ have an older child in the Negro school and my first-grader I needs his protection.” 1 3 �2. “ am not well, so I am keeping my child out of school the first I week.” 3. “ The child is not well enough to go and register.” 4. “ We are planning to move to another community within Nash­ ville.” 5. “ don’want to make my child a guinea pig.” I t 6. “ When these folks get off the school grounds and quit threatening on the telephone, I’ send my child to the integrated school.” ll 7. “ am going to send my child, but I am badly frightened.” I 8. “ Please pray for me and my family.” Who Must Bear the Burden In most communities, particularly those of the south, the job of de­ segregation is just beginning. In December 1957 the Reverend Mr. Campbell visited Dallas, which had been ordered to desegregate. He was told that of 500 potential Negro students perhaps no more than a dozen would enter white schools. The situation is all too typical. “ The future is not stumbled upon; it is created out of words and acts,” Lillian Smith wrote in Now Is the Time. Those o f us who want a society where all men are equal must now work for our goal. In many southern communities school suits are in the courts or soon will be; signs are being removed in buses and are going down in railroad stations; local plants are covered by fair employment practice agree­ ments written into federal government contracts. Where a suit is filed, a sign goes down or a manufacturer signs a con­ tract, there must always be a first one or two or ten to take advantage of the new opportunity. Technically, the burden of desegregating public facilities that violate constitutional guarantees rests on the defendants— the school boards, the park boards, the bus companies, the railroads. Practically, however, those who desire the change must bear the burden. The burden becomes lighter where the strength of others is felt. BASIC PRINCIPLES 1. With cooperation, understanding and non-violence, we can make plans work for the benefit o f all. This includes plans such as school de­ segregation which may be branded as unworkable. 2. Personal contact is the best way to give people a brighter outlook and a better understanding o f citizenship. Face-to-face talks are better than telephone calls and letters, although the latter can help. 14 �3. If we expect to build the kind o f society we want, we must put forth effort ourselves. In the case of school desegregation we must be prepared to go through mobs, if necessary. 4. The interracial group has something especially valuable to con­ tribute. It is a live demonstration that integration works. SPECIFIC SUPS 1 . Organize parents ahead of time so they do not feel they are alone. Strengthen them by bringing them together in meetings. 2. Begin work with the parents months before the day for registra­ tion and the opening of school. The more contacts, the more confidence and understanding, the less risk of their succumbing to intimidation. 3 . Many of the parents affected by school desegregation do not be­ long to civic organizations or attend educational meetings. G o directly to them. Talk with them in their homes and reach them through small neighborhood meetings (half a dozen families can be brought together in a private house). D o not plan programs beyond their educational level or in places they are not accustomed to. 4. Be thoroughly informed so you can pass on information about general school procedures and desegregation plans, statements from civic leaders and organizations, and names of people who can assist parents in case of difficulties. In times of tension, routine procedures may look like discriminatory treatment— the omission of a birth certifi­ cate, for example, may appear an enormous problem. There are always people to turn to: Interested lawyers will be glad to write for birth cer­ tificates, political leaders can be called on to help with police protection. But the parents may need someone to suggest which persons to see or what steps to take. Keep in mind, also, that apparently routine pro­ cedures may mask discriminatory treatment. 5 . Let school and public officials know you are interested and active and what your goals are. Let them know you are concerned about the plans they are making. This can be done through conferences, letters, attendance at school board meetings and hearings, and by being present when court cases are heard. If you are silent, they can say— truthfully— “ Everyone who called or wrote or spoke out was against desegregation.” 6 . Protest immediately any police laxness or softness toward agi­ tators who are breaking laws. The police and city officials will not take firm steps unless they know the community is behind them. A citizen has a duty to demand action on neighborhood disturbances, illegal meet­ ings and threats to lives. Even those who want segregation will often support a curb on lawlessness. 1 5 �7. Take your place in troubled areas to give positive witness to your stand; encourage others to d o so. People who are subject to threats, m ob abuse and econom ic pressures do not want congratulations after the crisis is over. They expect those who share their convictions to stick with them when the going is rough. 8. D o not underestimate your own power and the power o f your group. Of course it would be fine if the most important people in town were active workers for desegregation. But there is little chance that they will be, so the victory depends on you. The less important people are often better able to reach and influence the parents. . 9. Invite every likely individual and group to work with you— but don’ waste energy worrying about what the others are not doing. Cer­ t tain groups and individuals should logically take the lead— the churches, PTAs, city and school officials— but when they d o not, individuals in their ranks can always be recruited. 10. Concentrate on one project at a time if your organization is small, but support and encourage related efforts, such as voter registra­ tion and attempts to break down segregation in voluntary organizations, on buses and in other public facilities. Studies o f other communities have shown that all efforts to break down barriers contribute indirectly to the success o f school desegregation.

From its inception this group included individuals prominent in many different county organizations - liberal and conservative. After several meetings and much discussion, twenty-three Arling­ ton citizens and parents issued the following statemtn on May 1. "Formation of an Organizing Committee to Preserve Public Schools was announced today by a group of prominent Arlingtonians, headed by 0. Glenn Stahl, former School Board member. The group is inviting par­ ticipation by 'all likeminded persons who share our concern.' "Following is the complete text of the statement announcing the formation of the Committee: "The undersigned Arlington citizens and parents, alarmed about the future of our public schools, have been considering ways and means to assure maintenance of public education in Arlington next fall. This is necessitated by the prospective application of Virginia State laws closing schools under Federal court action outlawing segregation. For this reason we have formed an interim Organizing Committee to Preserve Public Schools, and we invite all like-minded persons who share our concern to join with us. We shall see that the public is kept fully informed on developments in this matter. "The Organizing Committee has concluded so far: "1. We are determined to pursue every legal means to keep public Schools open. "2. We are here concerned neither with perpetuating segreation in schools nor hastening integration. "3. We oppose entrusting public education to private hands hav­ ing no responsibility or accountability to the general public. "4. We have faith in Arlington's ability to meet its public education problems, "5» We recognize the excellence of tive staff in Arlington schools. We assure values it educational system and that it is public schools. We urge Arlington teachers in the days ahead," the teaching and administra­ them that the community determined to maintain its to stand with the community �Response to this announcement clearly indicated that citizens wanted an organization which would work solely for the preservation of public schools and which, therefore, could unite thrueands of Arlingtonians in this one crucial purpose* The enlarged organizing group held a meeting on June 12 which was attended by nearly 700 people. This meeting established the Arlington Committee to Preserve Public Schools, adopted by-laws and elected officers and an Executive Board. The by­ laws include the 5 conclusions listed above as the principles of the committee. During the summer months the Executive Board kept abreast of the legal and administrative aspects of this problem; conferred with local officials including the Arlington School Board and kept its membership, now numbering over 3300, informed. Members of the Executive Board along with other civic leaders conferred with Governor Almond in order to en­ list his understanding of the Arlington situation and his sympathy for the desire of the overwhelming majority of Arlington citizens to keep the public schools open. The Legal Sub-committee studied various steps which individual citizens or local officials might take in State or Federal courts to ensure continuous public education. It came to the conclusion and announced that the state school-closing and fund-withholding laws would be declared unconstitutional by the courts. The Committee, however, is not bent upon contesting the State laws unless real damage is done by them to the Arlington School system. Late in August, after due deliberation, the Executive Board re­ commended to the public its view that any suit designed to test the constitutionality of the Virginia school-closing law would be inadvis­ able unless or until a school was actually closed. Members of the legal sub-committee, however, were prepared to be of assistance to plaintiffs whenever the filing of suits became appropriate. In effect, during the summer months the Committee to Preserve Public Schools: 1. provided a rallying point for the sentiment of Arlington citizens to keep the schools open; 2. situation; pulled together and broadcast information on the school 3. provided assurance and support to local officials who were interested in keeping the schools open; 4. helped reassure the school teaching and administrative staff of general community backing and; 5. provided a contact point for the press and State officials to probe community reactions. �The Arlington Committee to Preserve Public Schools has tried to provide responsible and constructive leadership in a situation which might have provoked irresponsible and destructive actions.

This is necessitated by the prospective application of Virginia State laws closing schools under Federal court action outlawing segregation. For this reason we have formed an interim Organizing Committee to Preserve Public Schools, and we invite all like-minded persons who share our concern to join with us. We shall see that the public is kept fully informed on developments in this matter. The Organizing Committee has concluded so far: 1. We are determined to pursue every legal means to keep public schools open. 2. We are here concerned neither with perpetuat­ ing segregation in schools nor hastening integration. 3. We oppose entrusting public education to private hands having no responsibility or accountability to the general public. We have faith in Arlington’s ability to meet its public education problems. 5. We recognize the excellence of the teaching and administrative staff in Arlington schools. We as­ sure them that the community values its educational system and that it is determined to maintain its public schools. We urge Arlington teachers to stand with the community in the days ahead. Persons wishing to affiliate with the Committee in this effort are asked to write or telephone any of the undersigned. �2 0. GLENN STAHL Temporary Chairman ELIZABETH P. CAMPBELL WARREN COX COLIN C.

At a meeting of the Executive Board held May 10, it was strongly felt that the Arlington Committee to Preserve Public Schools should continue in existence for at least one year and possibly longer. The following resolu­ tion is therefore being put before you - via the U. S. mails - for your approval or disapproval: "In accordance with Section 11 of the By-Laws be it resolved that the Arlington Committee to Preserve Public Schools be continued beyond June 12, 1959 for at least one year and not more than two years unless the membership adopts a resolution specifically providing for its continuance and its later termination." Will you please vote on the enclosed postcard and return it promptly? Two spaces are provided so that husband and wife may both vote on the same card. Ballots postmarked later than June 5 will not be counted. No post­ age is necessary. Following are some of the reasons why the Board recommends passage of this resolution: 1. The Perrow program is completely unsatisfactory to the extremists in the state and they will be back at the i960 legislative session with renewed efforts to close the schools. The fact that - state-wide - we were an organized, vocal group of 25,000 people adamantly against any effort to close or damage public schools helped immeasurably in this last crisis, and this organized citizen pressure is still needed. 2. We don't know what is going to happen. We don't know what turn the private school movement will take. We don’t know what this year's elections will show. We don’t know what litigation will come or what it will determine. The present legislation is untested in the courts, for example - tuition scholarships! We may need to be ready to move firmly and quickly in several directions. Arlington's help continues to be needed from time to time by the Virginia Committee for Public Schools with which we are affiliated. Obvi­ ously our success in maintaining our public schools here without crippling limitations is largely dependent on state policy. Hence the following points are relevant to our situation: (a) There is still a demand for our help in organizing local groups before a crisis occurs in their areas. (b) Some of the Perrow bills could result in serious damage to the public schools in the state, indirectly affecting Arlington. The compulsory attendance compromise and the bill permitting the sale of school buildings are examples, A locality can, if it chooses, strip its public schools down to a mere skeleton and refuse to put up the matching funds for support of those schools. At the top of the next page are two quotations which support this need to maintain an organization here to tie in with the State Committee. You will also find a Treasurer's Report covering our entire year of existence. May we remind you of the importance of your vote at the primary (July lU) and the general election in November for representatives from Arlington who agree with us that the public school system must be kept intact. 0.
