RUNYON V. McCRARY

427 U.S. 160 (1976)

NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over whether a private school could exclude Negroes.

FACTS: McCrary and Gonzales (P) are Negro children. They filed a class action against Runyon (D) alleging that they were prevented from attending D's school because they were Negroes. P alleged violations of 42 U.S.C.A. section 1981. Another school was also named in a separate complaint by Gonzales and this was a consolidated appeal. Neither D has ever accepted Negro children for any of its programs. Ps were informed that their applications were turned down because the schools were not integrated. The Supreme Court granted certiorari.
