- Description:
- The demonstration was likely related to an upcoming desegregation hearing in the U.S. Supreme Court, debating whether the South's preferred neighborhood school model (in which students attended schools close to their homes) could continue, or if busing or other direct integration measures were required. (On October 29, 1969, the Supreme Court had ordered the immediate desegregation of public schools.)
