Parents Attempt To Overrule
New Orleans Integration Rule
By The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS—Angry white
parents boycotted two integrated
public schools Monday, condemning
four Negro first graders to virtual
segregation once again.
“You’ve got the whole school to
yourself now,” yelled a woman as
three of the 6-year-old pioneers in
Deep South school integration en
tered McDonogh No. 19 school.
Seven U. S. marshals ushered
the trio into McDonogh and three
others accompanied the Negro girl
who went into William Frantz
School.
Hooting and jeering spectators
numbered about 100 at McDonogh
but only about 15 women were at
William Frantz, the quietest school
opening since integration began
two weeks ago.
A week’s holiday for the city’s
93,000 public school pupils wa
tered down the heat of those who
demonstrated violently week before
Sast.
Truancy and absence in the rest
Of thei citys white schools dropped
to nearly normal for a Monday.
There was a 99.9 per cent boycott
of William Frantz and McDonogh
No. 19.
Police cut down the number of
men assigned to the two schools,
but none counted the school crisis
over.
At McDonogh, a building nor
mally bustling with 467 pupils,
three Negro girls sat in their
first-grade room with their white
teacher.
At William Frantz, where 571
pupils normally jostle and chatter,
one Negro first-grade girl sat
alone with her teacher. In Kinder
garten, a white girl sat. In a high
er grade, a second white girl stud
ied.
There were no more white pupils
there.
It was almost as if everyone
were marking time—perhaps wait
ing for a three-judge federal court
to rule on motions to temporarily
halt integration, and to abandon
integration plans.
