Georgia's legislature enforced the decision of the Supreme Court's, acknowledging that federal law took priority.

Explanation:

A Supreme Court case declared segregated schools are against their constitution. The rule separate but equal was no longer valid after this. The General assembly in Georgia opposed to this ruling and declared it null and void.

After this, all the public schools who decided to segregate were closed in Georgia and also the funding was stopped. The National flag was changed and several other steps were taken to show resistance against the new enforcement.
