Integration Plan Aims End to Washington School Segregation
The District of Columbia Board of Education adopted a five point plan to end racial segregation in public schools with full effect after one year. It prioritizes merit based assignments, prohibits race based favoritism, enforces residential boundaries, bans race references in records, and uses all schools to maximum efficiency regardless of race. The plan aligns with the May 17 Supreme Court ruling ending segregation in public schools and may guide steps in 17 Southern and border states. President Eisenhower welcomed progress and urged continued reporting on results. The article notes mixed Southern reactions, including Gov. Herman Talmadge asserting political risk for Eisenhower over the high court decision.
