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.”
