Ten Day Deadline Set On Integration In Los Angeles
Los Angeles civil rights leaders set a ten day timetable for action toward total integration after a six hour conference that formed top level committees and pledged to make the city a model in ending racial barriers. They demanded strong fair housing laws by June 21 and redrawn school district lines before September to significantly integrate enrollment. Further aims include independent review boards for grievances against law enforcement and elimination of employment discrimination through legislation and contracts.
