- Description
This letter comes from the Clerk and Master of Tipton County Chancery Court and gives an opposing view to integration. Boyd believes that integration at Clinton High School will only become more volatile and that the real solution is to cut off public funding for the school and ultimately close it. At the end of his letter, Boyd recommends that the Legislature be called together to enact laws that would enable us to have continued segregation in Tennessee which is wanted by the people of Tennessee.
