"NAACP representative opposes Proposition 1"

In a press conference at the Greater LA Press Club, Virna Canson, Western Regional Director of the NAACP, voices opposition to anti-busing initiative Proposition 1 on the grounds it would take control of local schools away from local agencies. Canson further details an example in Stockton, California, where busing succeeded and argues such gains would be lost under Proposition 1. Clip contains some silent shots of the press conference, including shots of reporter Mike Botula.
