South Bend Common Council
City Hall
South Bend,.Indiana
Regarding: Meeting of May 14, 1984
items 6 and 8, Bill Number 22 -84 (Central High School)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I deliver this letter to yourselves through hand delivery to your clerk for inclusion
in your record made during your public hearing -on BILL NO. 22 -84 and to give you
actual knowledge for all other purposes of a lawsuit which I have been asked to
proceed with.
REGULAR. MEETING - -_ _ - -- _ - - __ -- ___ MAY 14, 1984
As some of you know in detail, MARY LAURA BROOKINS and others filed suit against the €'
SOUTH BEND COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION and others on September 8, 1981, alleging
that the Defendants were wastefully and with constructive fraud removing schools
from service and inter - system, program of racial discrimination, steering and locking
in separation of the races by means of school closings. The complaint intervention
over the Plaintiffs' objection, intervention was denied in September 1982, without
an evidentiary hearing or review of tendered exhibits, the denial was sustained by
the Seventy Circuit in the Summer of 1983 (the Court saying, "the appellants could
if they had wanted prosecute their own suit against the school board "), the petition
for writ of certiorari was denied on April 2, 1984.
As some of you known better than I, there has been a significant history of racially as
motivated pressure for the elimination of educational services from Central High
School, whether as a building or as an institution, perhaps in remarkable contrast
to the history of Joliet, Illinois. Moreover, as you can see from the attached map`
and key together with relevant s'
y g pages fromt he SWANN decision, the Central facility ¢
is a significant element of the fact pattern of the previous suit.
In that the Seventh Circuit was clear in its invitation to the Plaintiffs to " proscute,
their own suit agains the school board" and in that various potential Plaintiffs
with standing have asked me to proceed, this time including MISHAWAKA and PENN HARRIS ?'
MADISON school systems, on behalf of the potential Plaintiffs, I mean to give you
actual knowledge of the allegeable unconstitutional character of further steps to
remove Central from educational function and of the wide powers of the Federal Court
in remedying racial discrimination.
