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.
