The record discloses that no similar solicitude is bestowed upon white pupils. * * * 61”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““‘ [T]he individual (Negro) appellants are entitled to relief, and also they have the right to an injunction on behalf of the others similarly situated.’ ( 304 F.2d at 124 ).
