The correct answer is the following: option B. The primary purpose of the Sibley Commission in Georgia was to discover how Georgians felt about the issue of integration. In 1960, Governos Bandiver Jr of Georgia created the Sibley Commission in order to gather information about the feelings of Georgia's citizens towards integration. This was done in order to decide which path the State should follow, either closing all public schools or adopting the federal order to desegregate them. The report produced by the commission helped the government to being with the process of desegregation and to avoid a conflict between the Governor and the federal government.
