Portland Observer M ay 7,1881 Page 9 PORTLAND OBSERVER Section II M ay 7.1981 V olum e XI N um ber 29 NAACP files suit The N A A C P has blazed a new tra il in their 18-year old battle to desegregate the Los Angeies public schools, by asking the federal courts to consider evidence that ‘ ‘ the Los Angeles schools had been inten tio n a lly and deliberately segregated.” In the formal complaint, filed in federal district court against the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Los Angeles school board and the C a lifo rn ia State Board of Education, NAACP General Coun sel Thomas A tkin s requested a prelim inary in ju n ctio n to prevent Los Angeles school officials from to ta lly dism antling (he school system’ s desegregation plan. A tkin s said prelim inary discussions with the federal district court judge in Los Angeles last week outlined the procedures for the pre trial investigation that precedes the form al hearing on the com plaint. No date has yet been announced for that hearing. School board officials were able to overturn a lim ited school desegregation plan on A p ril 20th, mandated by Los Angeles District C ourt Judge Paul Egly, after the State Supreme C ourt upheld their position. Atkins asserted that "w e pian to turn their temporary victory into ashes, demonstrating to those who oppose q uality education for all children that this is only the first round in a 10-round fig h t the NAACP will vigorously wage.” Atkins said the NAACP obtained a tem porary restraining order to halt the school board’ s plan but it was overruled by U.S. Supreme C ourt Justice W illiam Rehnquist, who was acting in his capacity as Justice for the 9th Circuit Court o f Appeals — an area that includes the state o f California. NAACP Executive Director Ben jamin L. Hooks said ‘ ‘ The NAACP gained a substantial'victory when Federal D is trict C ourt Judge A. Wallace Tashima originally granted the emergency order on the merits o f our case. Now we’ re pursuing our next course of action. We’ re placing the ultimate decision in the hands of the federal courts who will not be in tim idated by angry editorials, opinion polls or the election box — but w ill only consider what is fair and just.” U P.
