A white reporter from the Picayune (a paper that didn’t usually favor black people) was assigned to cover the horrors of school integration. Instead he found “white ladies teaching negro boys; colored women showing the graces and dignity of mental and moral refinement...; children and youth of both races standing in the same classes, with black teachers pushing intelligently up into the intricacies of high school mathematics.” The journalist was almost certainly author George Washington Cable, who later wrote that the experience of reporting on desegregated schools convinced him that blacks and whites must share equally in public rights if the South were to thrive.
