- Description:
- Photo (Summerton, S.C.) of Joseph A. De Laine, Sr. and his family (wife, Mattie, and their children, Joseph A., Jr., Ophelia, and Brumit) looking at their destroyed home; On the opposite side is Reverend J.A. De Laine and his family viewing the remains of his home and furniture along with two out houses, at the town of Summerton, S.C. In front of the 'Scotts Branch High School' when the Clarendon County School Segregation Case was in the process toward the U.S. Supreme Court. About this time Judge J. Waties Waring issues his Famous Dessenting opinion after the Fourth circuit Court of Appeals of the Federal Court, when he declared that Segregation 'must go!' The Clarendon County Case got the Legal backing of the NAACP when Reverend De Laine got twenty families to Petition the Court on November 11, 1949. Before the conclusion of this case in $ on May 17, 1954 the State of South Carolina floated $75,000,000.00 worth of bonds to give Negroes School Busses and to build new schools. This was the beginning of a real EDUCATIONAL REVOLUTION in SOUTH CAROLINA and elsewhere written on reverse.
