Captain Magnolia

Description

In this cartoon, the artist, Bob, ridiculed the pro-segregationist argument that Black Americans did not want their children to attend white schools. A klansman is depicted outside a school. The cartoonist used a caption bubble to note that court-ordered integration had not addressed the violence of white supremacist organizations like the klan.
