The DeKalb County School Desegregation Case Files document the work of the law firm Weekes & Candler defending the DeKalb
County Schools in litigation over school desegregation from 1968 to 1997. The files document the progression of the case from
the perspective of the defendants, the demographic makeup of students and to a lesser extent all of DeKalb County during this
period, and the evolution of school desegregation case law. The majority of the files are pleadings, exhibits, and data about
the school system, as well as other kinds of legal documents, research, and correspondence. Common subjects include attendance
boundaries, the DeKalb County Schools policies and procedures, enrollment numbers of students including race, the quality
of education, and statistics about teachers and staff.

Contents: |
From 1957 until 1971, the Administration and Press offices shared the same secretary and files. After 1971, the two offices
were separated, as were their filing systems. Therefore some of the subseries are identical to those in the Press Office files
series. This series consists of those activities that are not directly associated with "legislating" or providing constituent
services but are nevertheless part of the routine of every officeholder. Also included are visitor cards, guest books, the
Senator's appointment books, telephone records, and White House tour requests. Topics include the desegregation of the University
of Mississippi in 1962; the civil action suit between Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor of Atlanta, and Rev. Robert Hunter, leader of
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1967; Vietnam; reaction to the Gulf of Tonkin and Mansfield Resolutions in
1967; the Pueblo incident; and the Whitten Amendment of 1969 which proposed the freedom of choice as an acceptable desegregation
plan.

gun control, social services, and the Panama Canal Treaty.
