- Description:
- In this series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips from sometime in 1959, chairman of the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission and future Arkansas governor Winthrop Rockefeller speaks about the effects of racial integration. When asked by an unidentified reporter how racial integration has affected businesses, Rockefeller says the ripple effect of the "school problem" (Little Rock Crisis) has affected industrial development in Arkansas. He then recounts an incident in which a corporation established itself in Little Rock, but twenty or so of the corporation's engineers refused to move there because they didn't want their children to attend integrated schools.
