I find this a well written paper by an undergraduate at the University of Georgia (at the time of writing).

However, the flaw I see in this person's perspective, having lived in both areas, is that Catholics in Georgia were persecuted by the Klu Klux Klan. This was not true in predominately Catholic South Louisiana.

A retired priest I knew in Georgia told me that you requirement to be a member of the Klu Klux Klan to be on the Atlanta Police force in the 1960's.

There was no violence with Catholics in Georgia because both white and black Catholics were persecuted by the KKK.

The Bishops/Archbishops named in the article had great courage to do what they did.

In terms of Archbishop Hallinan, I think he poked some fun at the KKK by doing some of his work of desegregation from the former office of the Grand Wizard of the KKK.

"Private Catholic Schools in the South"

Were there public Catholic schools in the South?
