The Sibley Commission was created to study the issue of desegregation.
The Sibley Commission was created as a result of the Brown v. Board of Education decision
The leader of the Sibley Commission- John Sibley- did not want to integrate public schools in Georgia.
The findings of the Sibley Commission did not affect private schools.
In 1960 Georgia governor Ernest Vandiver Jr, compelled to choose between ending public schools or complying with a federal plan to desegregate them.
Sibley suggested that the state should accept the federal agreement to desegregate the public schools despite the commission's findings. In January 1961, Governor Vandiver proposed a bill which accepted the recommendation of Sibley Commission's for desegregation of public schools. However, this decision created none impact of public schools.
