Donated by Muriel S. And Otto P. Snowden.This document outlines the Racial Imbalance Act that was passed in 1965 and some of the threats to it. The bill allowed the state Board of Education to take away funding from districts that had schools that were racially imbalanced, as defined by the law. Soon after its passage, many bills were put up for passage that nullified it or took away its power.
