A fter seventeen torturous years, the United States
was about to desegregate many of its form erly segregat
ed schools, North and mostly South. F'ollowing a decision
of the Supreme Court, many of the school districts were
using bussing as a means—often the only possible means
o( doing so A fter more than a decade and a half of
legal struggles, the law seemed clear and finally
through the heroic efforts of many school bourds mainly
in the South, the law was about to lie followed The result
would be that finally, more than a century after slavery
was ended m America, the great grandchildren of for
mer slaves would lin a lly have the op|Kirl unity to obtain a
H r* class education
ihe key to final liberation and
upward sociul m obility.
A t this strategic point the President of the United
States declared that he was opposed to bussing. The case
m point seemed to lie Austin. Tex . which was following
a plan devised by the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare and seemingly approved by the Department
of Justice and the White House Then came the inter
vention by a powerful Texas Senator that led to the re-
pudiation of the Federal Government's plan by its lead
er All who had worked for the implementation of the
Brown decision during these seventeen dreary years
weie stunned but bttle was said ft was the August dol
drums then came the second blow with the White
House press office reiterating the President's statement,
and Indicating that anyone in the Government opposing
H m ight well find himself working elsewhere.
WHO COULD respond’ Most of those who might
have responded were long since gone — from H E W
Justice. White House. H ie only maverick left wag tlse
U S Commission on C ivil Hights -
an independ
ent bipartisan agency created under President Eisen
hower in 1957 to try to discover the facts on equal protec-
tion and discrim ination and to advise the President and
( ongress regarding corrective action The commission is
a peanut It has a budget that is one fourth the cost of a
single fighter plane, a staff ot about 150, and six comm is
sioner! who are employed fu ll tim e elsewhere
Even so they spoke out. indicating that the Presi
dent s statement at this particular time, could only give
aid and comfort to those who opposed the desegregation
ot schools, and render the task of those trying to comply
with the law immensely more d ifficu lt.
Moreover, the President's statement, while obvious
ly popular with those who are unwilling to pay the price
lor a united America with freedom and justice and good
education for all. especially blacks, really ignores the
la d s ot bussing Forty per cent of all school children in
America are bussed to school - two billion miles a year
at a cost of 98 m illion dollars for 250 000 busses To be
opposed Io bussing is to not want 40 per cent of A m e ri
can youngsters to get to school.
If Ihe commission hud mred Governor Wallace he
could not have performed bet.er The day after the com
mission's statement. Wallace began to help the Presi
dent. A ll across the South, and also in Ihe North where
school busses were fire bomtied in Pontiac. Mich . the
lo rie s of obstruction arose anew, buoyed bv the Presi
dent s stance, and the battle alreadv won. had to be
