This document is the text of the brief for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Swann vs. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, October 1970. The statement of the motion to file brief is followed by the brief and argument comprising (1) the present state of the law; (2) the "root and branch" of the public school system--an analysis of the dual school system, some considerations for establishing a unitary system, and a plan to disestablish segregation in the Mobile (Alabama) schools and establish two non-discriminatory, non-racially exclusive unitary school districts; and, (3) racial dispersal should not be held to be a constitutional requirement per se--arguments made in support of a constitutional requirement of racial dispersal in the schools are fallacious, any argument that integration is a constitutional requirement suggests the legitimation of the inferior status of blacks, the results of attempts to enforce racial dispersal by law in the schools are often counter-productive, and establishing constitutional requirement of racial dispersal in the public schools would foreclose other developments in the evolution of public school education which might prove desirable from an educational point of view as well as for other reasons. Appended are two exhibits, A and B, which comprise a plan for the desegregation of Mobile County schools. (RJ)
