"Mansfield Board Gives Plan for Integration of Schools," Mansfield News-Mirror, August 19, 1965

Title: "Mansfield Board Gives Plan for Integration of Schools," Mansfield News-Mirror, August 19, 1965
Description: In 1965 the Mansfield school board, in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, approved a plan to allow all students in the junior and senior high schools to attend regardless of “race, color, or national origin.” It was the first year of integration in the small community and uneventful compared to reactions in 1956 when a federal court ordered the school district to desegregate. In 1965 the school provided bus transportation on an “equal basis” for all students, which differed from previous years when African American students rode a Trailways bus to Fort Worth and then walked to the I.M. Terrell High School.
Subject: Mansfield ISD moves forward with its plans to integrate schools in 1965.
