The National Association for the
Advancement of -Colored People
which was then headed by DR.. 4
B. Phillips, and through the eff
cient work of other interested citi-
zens, instituted suit against the
Phoenix Union High Schools and
College District.
The amount of $4,000 was raised
under the leadership of Lincoln j
Ragsdale, and victorious decision
was handed down outlaWing segre-
cation in the high schools by Judge
Struckmeyer. Although this de-
cision was appealed to the Su-
preme Court of Arizona the school
board integrated though the Su-
preme Court has never acted on
the case. Carver High school, after
this school year, will be closed and
complete integration of teachers
and personnel as we'll as students
will take its place in the other
schools of the city.
"And d. . -" said Look, their plan
was worked. With five cases in
volving public school segregation

After having lodged the issue
for several years." it said, "last
summer the Phoenix school board
suddenly approved a compromise
plan for gradual integration of
Negro students with whites in the
city's white schools. The school
boards reasoning was, that loyal
ty, fear of competition and fear of
integration itself would turn many
eligible Negroes back to their old
schools. The board hoped that a
few of the boldest would pioneer
the movement the first year, and
that more would make the change
each year until full integration was
quietly and uneventfully COM
pleted."
Look reported that school board
members received a number of
anonymous mail and telephone cri-
ticisms, but these were far out
numbered by signed congratula-
tions." It quoted Phoenix Union
High School Principal James Car
ter as saying, "Once you get over
the horizon, you find it's not much
of problem after ALL"

The example set by Phoenix in
it's recent action abolishing racial
segregation in the public schools
indicates according to the current
issue of Look Magazine that the
end of segregation may be less
painful than many people antici-

The action came after many
years of work by interested citi-

was later followed by repeal of
