Description
This article provides a detailed account of events at Mansfield, including quotes from the mob. It very much focuses on the threats made by these men, as well as the non-committal responses from the school’s principal and the superintendent. The phone threat to T.M. Moody is discussed in better detail than in the Amarillo article. This article also focuses on the court process that the school board is currently going through. It includes the exact ruling made by Judge Joe Estes in the appeal to delay segregation.
