As a member of the Gray Commission on Public Education, Bemiss supported "local option," was opposed to massive resistance, and approved of Lindsay Almond's "freedom of choice" compromise. Series 1: General Assembly. House of Delegates. 1955-1959, contains "Interposition" materials, including the editorial series by James J. Kilpatrick in the Richmond News Leader, Gray Commission materials, and correspondence with Harry Flood Byrd, Sr.
