    GINGERELLI_FORMATTED (DO NOT DELETE) 4/9/2020 5:37 PM THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF BROWN AND SCHOOL INTEGRATION Anthony Gingerelli* I. INTRODUCTION Racism, oppression, and segregation: all wounds from which the United States of America continues to feel the pain. Progress slowly began with the abolishment of slavery at the end of the Civil War. Thereafter, Reconstruction led to the Thirteenth Amendment, which eliminated slavery; the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects against the deprivation of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;” and the Fifteenth Amendment, which barred racial discrimination with respect to voting.1 Slaves were freed and protected under the Constitution, but blatant racism, deriving from the preceding two and a half centuries of forced servitude, still remained.2 In Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court affirmed racial segregation “by reasoning that racial equality [provided under the Fourteenth Amendment] did not require ‘an enforced commingling of the two races.’”3 The Court further concluded that, “[t]he object of the [Fourteenth Amendment] was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but . it could not have intended to abolish distinctions based upon color[.]”4 In his dissenting opinion in Plessy, Justice Harlan accurately anticipated that the Court’s decision would contribute to and, in some cases, further the enactment of Jim Crow laws.5 The Jim Crow laws—cemented in notions of racial inferiority— prohibited Blacks from entering or utilizing the same public facilities as * J.D.

Unresolved racial issues proved this point in 1986 as tension exploded within Indianola’s public education and economic sectors.

INSTANT SCHOOLS: THE FRENZIED FORMATION AND EARLY DAYS OF THE MISSISSIPPI PRIVATE SCHOOL ASSOCIATION A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Education The University of Mississippi By E. Gray Flora IV May 2020 Copyright E. Gray Flora IV 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The founding leadership of the Mississippi Private School Association (MPSA) used individual experience and extensive networking via the Citizens’ Council along with the community’s belief and desire to maintain white-only schools to create a coalition of quickly formed but well-resourced private schools. This political and social clout afforded them the ability to create a large, powerful organization almost “instantly” during a pivotal moment of southern educational history. Scholar Kenneth T. Andrews called the establishment of all-white academies in Mississippi, “a countermovement strategy that flowed out of the prior history of organized white resistance to the civil-rights movement.” 1 The significance of this narrative lies in timing and ambitious, aggressive scope of the organization.
