Re: Swann vs. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education
Dear Tom:
I refer to your letter of July 14 and our conversation today with respect
to school bonds and current litigation. In this letter, I shall attempt to
point out to you the pertinent pleadings and orders respecting restraining
school construction.
On September 6, 1968, the plaintiffs filed a motion for further relief
and sought the following relief:
"... The Court permanently enjoined defendant:
(3) To cease'planning and constructing schools, additions
to schools and school facilities on the basis of race and
color. In this connection, that the defendant be enjoined
to present to the Court, with copies being served upon
plaintiffs, a report of any planned construction, addition,
alteration or closing; . . . "
The District Court in its order of April 23, 19 69, did not enjoin the
construction of schools but suggested that the "School Board refrain
from acquiescing in locating schools in predominantly black or white
areas.
