This article discusses some details about the final day for registration at Mansfield High School. An Episcopal priest was escorted from campus after agitating the mob with words from the gospel. Direct quotes from the crowd are recorded. The paper makes sure to mention no harm came to him. There is also a mention of a man who calls himself “Jesus Christ”. The one surprising paragraph in this article is the statement that three black students had been stopped from registering by the crowd the previous week. There is also a mention of the racial tension in the Fort Worth neighborhood.
