Court Orders Segregation End In Virginia Park
A federal judge in Norfolk ruled Virginia cannot continue racial segregation at Seashore State Park near Cape Henry whether state operated or leased to a private operator. Judge Walter Hoffman said any sale or lease cannot discriminate by race, impacting state parks and potential private operation of the park. The decision comes as four Negroes sued to end exclusion and the park has been closed pending outcome. Virginia Attorney General Lindsay Almond said an appeal may follow but questioned if leasing to a private operator could be barred.
