Description
This undated clipping describes the legal fight beginning to develop as the Orlando City Commission meets the Orange County school board to discuss the contentious site for a new high school for African Americans, as the school board seems to be keeping firm on locating it in a site where citizens don't want it. A local committee of African American citizens have retained two lawyers from Tampa to pressure the school board to build the school closer to a segregated housing project on Gore Avenue.
