• Enormous Resistance 

Harrison in 1962

As Attorney General, Harrison was answerable for safeguarding the state's protection from school incorporation, as a feature of the Massive Resistance system supported and drove by the state's political pioneer, United States Senator Harry F. Byrd.

Some portion of Massive Resistance included the end of government funded schools in different Virginia urban communities and regions to forestall racially coordinated study halls. Davis v. Area School Board of Prince Edward County (1952) was one of the partner cases to Brown v. Leading group of Education (1954), yet the Supreme Court had left requirement to the neighborhood government area judge. In addition, the Gray Commission of Byrd supporters had prescribed entry of different laws to stay away from or defer combination. After conclusions by the Virginia Supreme Court on January 19, 1959 (the birthday of Robert E. Lee) just as a three-judge government board upset a great part of the new Virginia enactment, Governor James Lindsay Almond Jr. (beforehand lawyer general) and Harrison chose not to resist those courts and permitted schools in Arlington and Norfolk to revive. Anyway the schools in Prince Edward County shut in 1958 and didn't revive until 1963, as white understudies utilized educational cost awards to go to a private isolation institute at state cost, while dark understudies were left to chip in endeavors. Other tricky school terminations, at last opened according to government court orders incorporated those in Albemarle, Warren County and later New Kent County (the subject of the 1968 Supreme Court choice in Green v. District School Board of New Kent County (1968). Harrison advised the board to go along except if they were eager to chance arraignment. At this point, he, similar to various other Byrd Democrats, had presumed that unyielding protection from combination couldn't proceed.

Another part of Massive Resistance included new laws directing lawyer morals, intended to assault practices of the NAACP, which was seeking after the integration activities. At first, the U.S. Incomparable Court conceded to an up and coming choice of the Virginia Supreme Court about those new morals rules in Harrison v. NAACP (1959), however the case preceded it twice more in NAACP v. Catch (1963) (which was reargued after Harrison surrendered as Attorney General to run for Governor, and which Virginia lost under lawyer general Robert Young Button.
