Members of the Congress signed the “Southern Manifesto” to express their opposition to the brown ruling.
The Declaration of Constitutional Principles (recognized unceremoniously as the Southern Manifesto) was a text written in February and March 1956, in the United States Congress, in disagreement to ethnic incorporation of public places. The Congressmen just made a draft of the text to stand the milestone Supreme Court 1954 presiding Brown v. Board of Education, which resolute that separation of public schools was unconstitutional.
