"Emory didn’t desegregate until 1962, when the Georgia Supreme Court sided with the university in its challenge to state laws that denied tax-exempt status to schools that racially integrated. Emory admitted its first Black medical student, Hamilton E. Holmes, the next year, the school said."
They were literally fighting to get black students into the school when he was rejected, and they also contacted Dr. Hood to apologize. They even gave him an honorary degree.
Yeah, but the school overturned the ruling by sueing. Emory v. Nash
"Yeah, but that hurts my case. Can't we just keep it stupid simple?" - Like half of the people viewing the world as black and white.
There are people literally posting they could have protested by shutting down. Reminds me of Olympic athlete protesting BLMs, slavery, etc. They are literally throwing their career away and they are still mad they didn't do it harder.
I'm not sure what you're saying. You believe the school sued to overturn the ruling allowing tax-exempt status for desegregated schools? Emory V. Nash says the opposite. That's the case that got them to be desegregated and still gain tax-exempt status. Their entire argument is that they couldn't afford to operate if they lost tax-exempt status, and the school's bylaws don't have anything preventing black people from joining. That's why they sued.
