1Opinion of the Court
THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge:
In the face of a vexing, continuing problem, this Court decreed that school boards in this Circuit have an affirmative duty to effectuate a transition to unitary racially nondiscriminatory school systems. This means integration of faculties, facilities, and activities, as well as students. The time for implementing programs that work is now. United States v. Jefferson County Board of Education, 5th Cir. 1967, 372 F.2d 836, aff’d en banc, 380 F.2d 385, cert. denied sub nom., Caddo Parish School Board v.
