Loyola News: In Our Opinion: Desegregation

Description

Following the Supreme Court's declaration that states could not create or maintain laws allowing segregated schools on May 17, 1954, unhappy individuals and organizations mounted challenges against the ruling. Loyola students responded to these events by speaking out against segregation and calling for greater racial integration, while remaining aware that the process of desegregation would take a long time. The article also contains examples of the various measures undertaken against the ruling.
