Description
-
Allan Shivers announces his retirement from public office. Shivers supported Dwight D. Eisenhower during the 1952 presidential election, since Eisenhower signed over the tidelands to Texas. The Governor states his stance on states' rights, but denies his stance had anything to do with schools or segregation. Instead, Shivers claims that states rights specifically protected "federal interference". This demonstrates that states' rights position was a way to oppose integration in public schools.
