Title: Justice Opinions of Jackson v. Rawdon 135 F. Supp. 936 and Jackson v. Rawdon 235 F. 2d 93
Description: Court opinions from the federal court case Jackson v. Rawdon and the following appeals court case show the differing opinions of judges on the issue of integration. Judge Estes originally ruled in favor of the Mansfield school board, saying they needed more time to develop a plan for school integration. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed and said the school board was violating the constitutional rights of the black Mansfield students. The case was tossed back and forth between federal and appeals court once more before Judge Estes ruled in favor of the students and ordered the school district desegregate immediately for the 1956-57 school year.
Subject: The court opinions delivered by Judge Joe E. Estes and Chief Justice Hutcheson regarding the 1956 Mansfield High School integration case
