 More than a year has passed since the Supreme Court handed down its decision. The above plan is the only concrete plan so far proposed for Virginia. It will prevent mixing of the races in the schools and it will preserve education for all Virginians.

Those who have been intimating that they favor such plans as assignment of pupils to individual schools, co-operation with the court’s decision, or “local option,” must admit that such proposals do nothing more than delay, for a short while, the full integration of the schools. What difference does it make, as a matter of principle, whether it comes in 1955 or 1956? Each means the ultimate mongrelization of the races.

We need every Virginian who favors this program, to join with us, to preserve education for the children of our State.
