Most, but not all, of the information I am adding to this page comes from http://www.naacpldf.org. I have tried to stay within fair use, and have written the LDF asking for explicit permission to use this material. Since the sections of the site I am using are specifically intended for the press, I would presume that use of this material is actively welcome. -- Jmabel 19:27, Sep 28, 2004 (UTC)

I contacted Kay Shaw (kshaw@NAACPLDF.ORG) about this. She wrote back, (September 29, 2004 07:38 am): "I have forwarded your request to management for review. I included a strong recommendation that they approve use of the text... Also, we would like to include a credit that is something to the effect: Portions of this page is used with the permission of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. and a copyright symbol." I haven't received anything more formal, but I think we can consider that clear lack of objection. I'm going to paraphrase Kay's wording slightly, because the grammar is wrong ("portions...is") and add it to the article. -- Jmabel | Talk 18:05, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

The article states that LDF Director-Counsel Jack Greenberg "ended 'all deliberate speed' in desegregation." Greenberg was involved in numerous cases such as Brown v. Board of Education which mandated that desegregation be effected with "all deliberate speed." While Greenberg was unhappy with the phrasing of the court's decision in Brown, neither he nor anybody else has eliminated the concept of "all deliberate speed" at least not so far as I am aware.

One would never know from the chronological list that they ever had any failures. Nor is there any discussion about internal differences about strategy. DGG ( talk ) 18:49, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reference #19 is not correct

The reference regarding Gardendale is not correct, the article speaks to Texas voter ID laws instead. Scotty1141 (talk) 03:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
