Five young pupils who participated as plaintiffs in the historic public school segregation cases will be featured on Chet Huntley's NBC-TV "Outlook" program which will be telecast over the network from New York City at 5:30 p.m. (EDT) Sunday, May 19.
The program will be in observance of the third anniversary of the United States Supreme Court ruling of May 17, which banned racial segregation in public education. There were five cases originating in Clarendon County, S. C.; Prince Edward County, Va.; Topeka, Kans.; Hockessin and Claymont, Del.; and the District of Columbia. A plaintiff from each of the cases will participate in the program.
The program is designed to show what has happened to these young people in the years since they first filed suit for admission to all-white public schools in their respective areas. In the lawsuits they were represented by NAACP attorneys, led by Thurgood Marshall, the association's special counsel.
