- Description:
- This report regarding the Brown v. Board of Education decision and the state's Pearsall Plan, was written by Greensboro school superintendent Benjamin L. Smith and submitted to the Greensboro City School Board of Education around 1956. Smith writes that he has completed lengthy research regarding the decision, and he has come the conclusion that "desegregation is an idea whose hour has arrived." He argues that compliance is inevitable and that time is needed to reorganize in preparation. The report gives two circumstances under which the board would be justified in asking for a declaratory decision, and provides recommendations for implementing desegregation.
