Page "learned" Paragraph 829

The Middle-South Region, as defined by the National Association of Intergroup Relations Officials ( NAIRO ), consists of the states of Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, West Virginia, Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

The states and the Nation's Capital all have some desegregation, in fact some dating back to 1954 ; ;

but the region also embraces some of the staunchest opposition.

Desegregation has been opposed by massive resistance, interposition, pupil assignment ( with no assignments of Negro children ), and hate bombings.
