March 27, 1934. <a href="http://www2.latech.edu/~bmagee/louisiana_anthology/texts/smith-g/smith--huey_long_superman.html">Rev.

On Tuesday, March 27, 1962, Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel met with Catholic School Superintendent Henry C. Bezou and a group of parish priests at Notre Dame Seminary on South Carrollton Avenue. At 7 p.m. Monsignor Bezou announced that all New Orleans Diocese Catholic schools would accept all qualified Catholic children (as determined by age and readiness testing), with no exceptions, who might apply for the upcoming school year.&nbsp; No mention of race was included in Bezou's statement but, as Rummel had been outspoken regarding ending segregation in his schools because it was morally wrong and sinful, the message was clear.&nb
