Little Rock, Arkansas September 12, 1958 Hon. Orval E. Faubus Governor of Arkansas Little Rock, Arkansas Dear Governor Faubus: It has come to our attention that you have stated as follows: "Central High School can be operated on a private basis as a segregated school if the School Board wants to take such action." We are unaware that such is possible, but if this be true, we would like very much to have an opportunity for our attorneys to explore this possibility with your attorneys. We are as anxious as anyone for our educational program to continue uninterruptedly and stand ready to explore every conceivable avenue with you. Very truly yours, LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL BOARD By_________________________________________ President - Metadata URL:
