Open City Hope Grows From San Antonio Desegregation Moves
In San Antonio a mixed crowd of about 2000 Negro leaders and church and business figures met at Mt Pleasant Baptist to push desegregation of lunch counters and other facilities. NAACP youth leader Miss Mary Lillian Andrews urged calm while plans proceed. Leaders described an exploratory stage toward a broader Open City within 30 days, with hotels, motels, and restaurants to be included if no incidents occur.
