explanation.
Washington is a border" town
between Virginia and Maryland.
According to the 1850 census its
population of S02,17 Is 64.65 per
cent white and 35.44 per cent nom
wlste. Its preponderanuy white
suburbs bring the metropolitan
region population to 1.464, 0S9.
which is 1884 per cent white and
23.35 per cent non-white. Five
years ago the Presidents Commit
tee on Civil Rights condemned
racial discrimination in the city as
graphic illustration Of a fail
ure Of democracy" A year later
December 10, l94S), the National
Committee on Segregation In the
Nations Capital issued a detailed
report which summed up the citys
racist patterns as a blot on our
nation"
These exposures received wide
spread publicity and catalyZed
the whole civil-rights front. The
year 1919 saw considerable in
roads on the status quo of raCism:
School buildings segregated dur
ing the day were made available
for after-hours use by integrated
groups.
Racial designations were re-
moved from the recreation plan
ming maps OF the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission;
its chairman who had defended
those designations was not reap
pointed when his term expired,
and a Negro architect was named
a member Of the commission. The
District of Columbia Recreation
Board hastily promised TO move
toward the elimination Of segre-
cation in its public recreation fac
ilities. The official festivities Of
the Presidents Inauguration were
on a wholly integrated basis.
In I949 also the doors Of several
places Of public accommodation
which had previously excluded
colored people were quietly opened
TO them. The establishment of the
non segregated clubhouse of the
American Veterans Committee
further facilitated integrated civic
and social events for many groups,
The Department OF the Interior
held fast TO It's non-segratiOn pol
icy when that policy was protest
ed in its application TO swimming
pools The white parochial schools,
after several years Of efforts by
Catholic interraCial groups. began
TO admit colored students. Racial
bars were abandoned in the rest
aurants OF the Washington Ma
tlonal Airport and Of the National
Geological Park. And the Depart
ment of Justice for the first time
vigorously and directly challenged
the myth Of separate but equal
in historic briefs before the gu
preme Court in three major cases.
Additional gains have since been
made. All the major universities
and colleges in the District except
George Washington University
now admit Negroes to professional
and graduate courses and 10 many
Of the undergraduate courses. Ne
gro enrolment in the formerly
white parochial schools has sub
stantiaIly increased, and q num-
Der of hotels, restaurants, and
places Of public assembly have
ceased to exclude colored people
Racial discrimination In federal
employment has become consider.
