So inch-by-lnch, the fight was made to get rid of segregation by arguing that Jim Crow on buses, trains or graduate schools meant unequal facilities. Then a couple of years ago the NAACP, together with some Negro and white lawyers not connected with it, took the big step: It asked the court to rule that segregation of Negro children in public schools whether or not the schools were as good as the white children's was unconstitutional by Its very nature. Faced Long Setback If the NAACP had lost on this gamble, Its efforts to wipe out segregation in schools might have been set back 10 to 20 years until the mood of the country and the membership of the court had changed.
