This article focuses on the desegregation of schools in Washington. The administration enlisted the cooperation of many private citizens in formulating its plans, and invited suggestions from the public. In September, 1954, desegregation took place in a thorough-going manner. The Superintendent of Washington Schools, who had previously presided over two parallel racially divided administrations, became the chief of a single unified hierarchy. The Washington school administration asserted clear arid uncompromising leadership to make the transformation uniform. The process took place smoothly with a marked lack of violence. Even though the transition had taken place with amazing speed, the school academic routine has continued pretty much as usual. In striking contrast to its forthright desegregation leadership, the city school administration has abstained from enunciating policy beyond mere physical school desegregation. Deciding how much contact should take place between schoolmates of the two races thus become the task of the individual school head. |
