Plans To Avert Racial Strife In The South
The Kennedy administration moves on two fronts to curb racial tension in the South. Attorney General Kennedy met with theater owners and with nine Democratic senators to push voluntary desegregation at the local level and seek stronger federal civil rights enforcement. The plan reportedly mirrors a variant of the old title three idea, offering the AG power to file civil suits to protect Negro rights in schools and public accommodations. Kennedy has already held a prior meeting with hotel owners in New York.
