Gov. Ernest Vandiver's Public Education Address

Gov. Ernest Vandiver was elected governor in 1958 on a pro-school-segregation platform. A federal district court on January 12, 1961 ordered the admission of two African-American students to the University of Georgia. On January 18, 1961, Vandiver delivered an address to a joint session of the General Assembly, broadcast over radio to Georgia citizens, which reflects a confused and rapidly-changing political situation.
