It is futile to attempt any bibliographical note on the specific subject of school desegregation since 1954. The library of the Southern Educational Reporting Service in Nashville is a storehouse of material to be found nowhere else. I am indebted to Reed Sarratt and his associates there for making its riches available to me. Don Shoemaker’s _With All Deliberate Speed_; Harry Ashmore’s _The Negro and the Schools_; and _Public Education in the South Today and Tomorrow_, by Ernst W. Swanson and John A. Griffin (1955), are basic references. Any serious study must take in the annual reports of the various Southern State superintendents of public education. Bill Simmons, the urbane and immensely attractive executive director of the Citizens Council in Jackson, Miss., has a wealth of material available; student debaters who get stuck with the Southern side of the question should not hesitate to write him at the Plaza Building in Jackson. This is about all the bibliography I am up to. Any student who delves into this subject necessarily will resort immediately to the Periodical Index. It teems with magazine references. Offhand, I know of not more than a dozen articles that present some aspects of the traditional Southern view--this, out of _more than two thousand_ indexed articles supporting the integrationist view since 1954. Look them up: Clifford Dowdey, in _Saturday Review_ of Oct. 9, 1954; Senator Ervin, in _Look_ of April 3, 1956; Herbert Ravebel Sass, in _Atlantic_ of November 1956; Tom Waring, in _Harper’s_, January 1956; Virginius Dabney, in _Life_ of Sept. 22, 1958; William F. Buckley, Jr., in _Saturday Review_ of Nov. 11, 1961; Perry Morgan, in _Esquire_ for January, 1962; Donald R. Davidson in the _Star Weekly Magazine_ for Nov. 9, 1957. There may have been a few others. The Citizens Council has a wealth of pamphlets, booklets, and other ephemera available to the student who troubles to ask for reference material. And of course the microfilmed resources of the Southern Educational Reporting Service are invaluable. I owe thanks to my right arm, Ann Lloyd Merriman; and to my publisher in Richmond, D. Tennant Bryan; and to the librarians of the State Law Library, the Library of Congress, and the state and city libraries in Richmond; to my congenial masters at Collier Books; to Dr. Henry E. Garrett; to John Riely, attorney, who made available to me the briefs of all parties in the School Segregation Cases; to various antagonists of the NAACP, among them Thurgood Marshall and Spotswood Robinson III. And the day this book appears, in glancing over this incomplete and sketchy note, I will think of a hundred other sources and mentors to whom I shall ever be Gratefully theirs, J.J.K. July, 1962.
