Dallas School Integration (film #4 in the Brown v. Board of Education section of WPA Film Library). [Category: Sleaze & Outsider]

Silent news footage of Dallas schools being racially integrated during the early 60s. It happens peacefully, but there is anxiety just under the surface in the police presence and in the faces of some of the children and parents. An important historical document of the civil rights movement.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: N/A. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
