Description

The first article relates the beginnings of Lloyd G. Austin and his family moving into an all-white neighborhood. In the middle of the article, it states that this is the second racial incident that has occurred in the area in the last few days. Mentioning that Floyd Moody has registered at a Negro high school in Fort Worth, the article believes another mob will form since there is no word on what the other black students will do.
The second article is more of a rant against the NAACP and Supreme Court. Describing the events in Mansfield and Clinton as tainted with “a hint of professionalism”, the writer gives their opinion on the NAACP’s involvement in racial integration. They also show their disdain for the Supreme Court by pointing out idiosyncrasies in their rulings regarding “land-use planning” or “zoning” (and the fact they pass laws in the first place). It is yet another example of a writer bringing Mansfield into a larger story.
