Mansfield African American Oral History Project excerpt on integration efforts

An excerpt from the Mansfield African-American Oral History Project about part of what led to community action toward integration.

The excerpt discusses part of what led to integration efforts in Mansfield. Deacons of the Bethlehem Baptist Church thought if they were paying taxes in the town and had to pay for their children to ride the buses to Fort Worth to school, there must be a way that they could attend a school near their homes.
