In this school desegregation case, plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief against acts of the defendants allegedly violative of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The complaint, filed on March 28, 1968, claimed that the defendants have acted to create and maintain unlawful racial segregation in the Milwaukee public school system. The complaint named 41 minor plaintiffs who brought the action by their parents and next friends on behalf of themselves and two classes. Named as defendants were the Board of School Directors of the City of Milwaukee and 16 individuals sued in their official capacities as members or servants and agents of the defendant Board. The District Court found that segregation exists in the Milwaukee public schools and that this segregation was intentionally created and maintained by the defendants; and that such segregation is violative of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed to all Americans by the Fourteenth Amendment and cannot lawfully be allowed to continue. The Milwaukee school system was ordered to be integrated; the defendants were ordered forthwith to begin the formulation of plans to effectively achieve that goal; and a master was to be appointed to make recommendations to the court with respect to the question of an appropriate remedy.
