Segregation Views Spark Debate on Race and Choice
A historical column argues that Black teachers segregate themselves by choice in public spaces and rejects forced segregation as unjust. It cites Franklin H. Giddings on consciousness of kind and Marcus King on sociological grouping, asserting segregation stems from human dignity and fear of inferiority. The piece concludes that voluntary segregation is natural, but coercion is universally resented, urging education and morality to lift all. The section ends with a timely ad from The Harris Printing Co. advertising holiday printing services.
