Chicago School Boycott Largest in Nation
Nearly half of Chicago’s about 470000 public school pupils were absent Tuesday in what civil rights leaders called the nation’s largest school boycott. The action protested segregation and policies of Benjamin C Willis, the superintendent, who had offered to resign but was asked to reconsider. About 8000 to 10000 demonstrators marched near City Hall and Board of Education offices. Willis later agreed to have the board reconsider his duties amid a dispute over an open transfer plan to relieve overcrowding in minority schools.
