No End Seen to Chester Violence
Chester Pennsylvania faces a protracted civil rights clash as five months of street protests over segregated and unequal schools persist. Local figures including Mayor James T. Gorbey and ROCC director James Farmer clash over lawfulness, while residents demand better jobs and housing. The school board argues de facto segregation stems from neighborhood patterns and insists the district is integrated, though community leaders push for immediate action and busing where parents consent. The conflict centers on whether neighborhood schools are inherently segregated and how to achieve true integration.
