Commission backs federal standard to end school segregation
The Civil Rights Commission urged a federal law barring schools from exceeding a set share of Black students in any campus. It highlighted harsh urban segregation, noting cities like New York and Los Angeles exceed 50 percent minority schools under current patterns. Data show high minority enrollment in major cities and many smaller ones would be affected by a 50 percent line.
