CHARLESTON, S.C. - In the first case to be tried in a direct attack on segregation in elementary and high schools in the South, attorneys for the NAACP will ask for an injunction prohibiting nearby Clarendon County from maintaining separate schools for Negro and white children.
The trial, scheduled for argument in the United States District Court here Nov. 20 before Judge J. Waties Waring, is the result of a complaint filed by parents and taxpayers of Clarendon County against trustees of School District No. 22, the county board of education and local school officials.
The complaint, setting forth the glaring inequalities within the school system and charging discrimination against Negro school children in the county, was filed May 17.
It is expected that testimony by expert witnesses, such as was introduced in the law school cases, will be submitted at the trial.
Leaders in education, anthropology and allied fields will be present at the trial ready to testify as witnesses.
