...white boys, mostly duck-tailed types, jeering, catcalling, howling, holding up placards that read: NIGGERS GO HOME! CHICKEN WHITES go TO SCHOOL WITH JIGS! One night the whites burned a Negro in effigy on the school flagpole. The white hoodlums proclaimed a school strike, sent off a telegram to Governor Faubus: IN ORDER TO STAY INTEGRATION WE NEED YOUR HELP.
