Description

In this 1971 WSB-TV newsfilm clip, Jimmy Carter speaks to a reporter about the Supreme Court's ruling against mandated busing to achieve racial balance in urban school districts. Carter appears to be at a gathering or party. Piano music plays faintly in the background, and a tall spray of flowers stands behind him. Carter begins by stating that he believes that the Supreme Court is seeking a way to provide a "superior education" to all children without requiring the movement of the students from one part of the city to another. He notes that this issue is a difficult one to resolve. Carter then declares that he believes that the court's decision shows that alternative solutions to massive busing are being sought and that this is a "good move."
