Additional Details

7 years after the schools in Little Rock, Arkansas were forcibly integrated by the federal government, local citizens still complained of de facto segregation. SNCC and the Council on Community Affairs attempted to organize a school boycott to draw attention to the problem. The boycott was called off at the last moment after concessions by the school board. This flier features a photograph credited to SNCC photographer Norris McNamara. We trace no other examples at auction or in OCLC.
