Description

In this article, the Reflector printed a pro-segregationist piece attacking school integration. The writer claimed that consolidation of Black schools' students into white schools would put Black teachers out of work. It was an attempt to cast the 1964 Civil Rights Act and school integration as a radical social experiment detrimental to Black Americans.
