Arkansas Aims to Finish Desegregation Effort by 1969
Arkansas Education Commissioner A W Ford said the state can win through its desegregation problems but two years may not be enough. He noted HEW's goal of most districts desegregated by fall 1969 and cited current progress, with 86 districts fully desegregated, 132 with some desegregation, 171 with three quarters of dual systems eliminated in time, and six all Negro districts. Ford warned delays could occur in reaction to nationwide policy shifts, but expected no major timetable disruption for Arkansas.
