Along with the desegregation of Atlanta's schools, lunch counters, and other public facilities, Galphin noted that Georgia itself has seen in the last year the abolishment of the county-unit system of primary voting. The system for years enabled staunch segregationists to be elected by favoring the rural counties over the more liberal urban vote. This summer, combined statewide vote tabulations resulted in the selection of the moderate Carl Sanders as the Democratic gubernatorial candidate over the radical segregationist Marvin Griffin...
...Negro is fundamentally and perhaps unalterably inferior; he is also immoral, indolent, inept, incapable of learning, and uninterested in full racial equality. The segregationist South feels no guilt about keeping the Negro in his proper place-that is to say, in separate schools.

Hollow Victory. As one means of resistance, Kilpatrick proposed the decrepit doctrine of interposition, by which recalcitrant states attempt to block federal authority with their own.

Fortnight ago. in segregationist Birmingham, Ala., the Scripps-Howard Post-Herald rejected an angry editorial that compared Mississippi's rioting white supremacists to Nazis. Editor in Chief Stone was not surprised. Said he: "The editors have to modify their approach to suit their audiences...
...more liberal than the Appeal, has sided with Democrat Estes Kefauver since his first U.S. Senate race in 1948; the Appeal waited until 1954 to endorse Kefauver, then changed its mind and opposed him two years ago. The Appeal does not lack for courage. Circulating in an area preponderantly segregationist, it nevertheless printed an editorial of its own on the Mississippi riots that was fully as forthright as the chain editorial spun out of Washington...
