Members of the N.C. Racial Justice Network, along with Greensboro City Councilman Earl Jones, who also represents the NAACP, and the Rev. Nelson Johnson of the Greensboro Pulpit Forum, sharply questioned the three school board members on their reasons for voting in favor of the plan. Harding Edwards, the other black member on the 11-member school board, voted against the plan. Jones told the three men that they should have "a black agenda" on the board. "White schoolchildren are already being taken care of. Black children are the ones who are hurting the most," Jones said. "Black school board members should be steadfast in looking out for a black agenda."
Isn't this something that the Civil Rights division and prevent from happening? I remember that during the Nixon administration Nixon had John Mitchell send men down south to make sure that the the civi rights act was enforced, and isn't civil rights under the law for all citizens and not any of one particular color?
