Description

In 1937, Marie Long, a teacher at Center Hill School, filed an injunction against the Fulton County Board of Education and its superintendent, Jere Wells, after she was released from employment for not signing her contract that included a clause barring the marriage of female teachers. A year later, the Fulton County Teachers Association approached the board about a "friendly" suit that would determine the policy for the future under the Civil Service Act of 1937.
