The Southern Manifesto encouraged white Southerners to resist the integration of public schools and other institutions following the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education. It promoted the idea of states' rights and called for a coordinated effort to oppose federal intervention in the South's racial policies. The manifesto sought to galvanize support for segregationist policies and maintain the status quo of racial discrimination in the region.
