Desegregation Progress Slows in U S South Last Fall
The HEW third national survey shows desegregation proceeding slowly under cooperation, with 11 Southern states reporting 4.44 percent of 3.1 million black pupils in majority white schools last fall, up from 1968 and 1970 figures. Nationwide, 36.8 percent of 6.6 million black pupils attend mostly white schools, while Hawaii is excluded. The report coincides with legal battles over desegregation orders affecting over 200 districts and colleges in 17 states.
