what was the recommendation of the sibley commission regarding the issue desegregation in public schools in georgia?

1 answer

The recommendation of the Sibley Commission was to gradually integrate public schools in Georgia through peaceful means and to avoid immediate and forced desegregation. They recommended implementing a "freedom of choice" plan, where students could choose to attend either a segregated or integrated school. This recommendation was controversial at the time, as many believed it was a way to delay desegregation rather than address the issue directly.
