- Description:
- Newspaper article discussing the defeat of Richland School District One Chairman Caldwell Withers in his campaign for renomination. Caldwell Withers, the long-time chairman of the Richland District One School Board, finished third in the three-man race, behind Dr. Shepard N. Dunn and Hayes Mizell. Withers attributed his defeat to the Black vote, saying that he thought the Black vote went solidly against him. He did not think that the Columbia desegregation plan submitted last week had anything to do with his defeat.
