Emmitt Till Presentation

Black schools in Topeka were good –“Equal” facilities Linda Brown –Age 7 –Walked over RR switching yard to catch a bus to school (miles away) –All white school just blocks from her house Supreme Court Decision (Warren Court) –Said that segregation is harmful to children even if the facilities are equal –“may affect their hearts and minds …” –Inherently unconstitutional –Said integration should take place “at the earliest possible date.” Click for Clip

How did the South react to the decision? Strong resistance Passed over 450 laws to prevent integration Virginia cut off state $ to integrated schools George Wallace, governor of Alabama (1963) –“I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” –Blocked door of University of Alabama to prevent integration Southern Manifesto –Statement which praised states who resisted integration –Signed by 100 southern congressmen Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas) was one of only Senators who refused to sign "This unwarranted exercise of power by the Court, contrary to the Constitution, is creating chaos and confusion in the States principally affected. It is destroying the amicable relations between the white and Negro races that have been created through 90 years of patient effort by the good people of both races. It has planted hatred and suspicion where there has been heretofore friendship and understanding."
