for the last ten years.
While the results may be less
than are demanded by those who
want full race equality at once, in
New York City there has been de-
finite and increasing progress in
the serious problem of getting
people of different races to live
together in peace, with mutual re-
spect and trust.
The New York City Housing
Authority first adopted nonsegre-
gated housing as a policy with the
opening of Red Hook Houses in
1889, the first project in New
York City completed under the
Federal Housing Act of 1887. In
its previous public housing pro-
jects two built under the Pub
lie Works Administration and a
small group of rehabilitated
buildings-the tenants with one or
two exceptions had been COM
pletely segregated, with the Me-
groes selected for Harlem and the
whites for Brooklyn and the
lower East Side. The management
staff for each project was largely
selected in the same way. At the
start of Harlem River Houses in
1886 it was apparently assumed
that all tenants would be Negroes.
II is interesting to speculate on
the reasons why, only three years
later nonsegregation was not only
possible at Red Hook Houses but
was a declared policy of the people
of New York State in the then
new Public Housing Law which
required that mo person shall, be-
cause of race, creed, color or ma
tional origin, be subjected TO any
discrimination"
Perhaps widespread interest in
public housing explains such a
major change in public opinion,
although there is no question that
Negroes made gains in other fields
at the time. Whatever the reasons
for the law, Negro and white
families were assigned to their
apartments in the same building
and on the same floor at Red Hook
Houses, perhaps with some reser-
walton about the outcome.
In those early days the number
of Negroes was kept small-24
families out of 2,545. At that
time a delegation Of white women
tenants visited the manager to
suggest that all Negroes be moved
to one "all-Negro" building The
manager pointed out the logical
conclusion to that proposal - an
all-Italian building, an all-Irish
building, an alderman building,
and since there were thirty-eight
natiOnalities and only 25 buildings,
under their plan some tenants
would have to get out. He then
