- Description:
- In 1960 the Georgia Assembly set up a committee on schools, ordered it to hold hearings throughout Georgia and find out how people felt about the future of their schools. The main topic was how Georgia should handle court ordered integration. The commission heard 1800 people (1600 whites and 200 Negroes[sic])and issued two separate reports. While both reports agreed that education was better served by separation of the races, there were different ways to react to forced integration. This collection contains one short summary with laws relating to school segregation and a full copy of two different reports: The General Assembly Committee on Schools House Resolution No. 369 "The Sibley Report," Atlanta, Georgia. April 28, 1960. 36 pages. Digest of the Sibley Report and Summary of Georgia Laws Relating to School Segregation. From the Georgia Congress of Parents and Teachers, Atlanta (Ga.), 1960. 8 pages.
