An excellent capture of Archbishop Joseph P Rummel standing firm in his decision to order the desegregation of New Orleans' catholic schools. Before him kneels Una Gaillot, a leader of a local segregationist movement, pleading him to reconsider. Rummel would later excommunicate her, and several New Orleans politicians, for their efforts to keep the schools segregated.
