Summary

Argued December 14, 1970.Decided June 14, 1971.

Justice BODDIE delivered the opinion of the Court.1

This case arises out of Jackson, Mississippi’s decision to close its public swimming pools rather than integrate them. At issue is whether these closures violate the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, thereby requiring an order enjoining the pools to be reopened. City officials deny that the closures constitute a badge of slavery under the Thirteenth Amendment. They similarly insist that the closures do not violate equal protection because they apply equally to blacks and to whites such that neither group has the benefit of using any municipal pools.
