Lafayette NAACP to Oppose Schoolboard in Deseg Case

The Times-Picayune reports that Je'Nelle Chargois, president of the Lafayette chapter of the NAACP, has indicated the organization will fight a move by the Lafayette Parish school system to remove federal oversight in the system's 38-year-old desegregation lawsuit. The school district filed for unitary status yesterday and Chargois indicates that the Lafayette Chapter has hired an attorney and plans to file an appeal in the next 60 days.
