Description
A letter to Mayor Kevin White from the Mayor W.L. Jones of Bude, MS who is against busing and is bitter about the process of integration the south faced which "interrupted our way of life and changed a pattern that was legal and right for hundreds of years." However, he believes that the federal law should be obeyed and every school in the north should be desegregated like it was in the south.
