previous year. Meanwhile, in earli-
er desegregated districts, Negro
attendance at mixed schools in
creased slightly and spread to more
schools.
In higher education, color bar
riers were partially dropped at sew
eral previously segregated institu-
tons. Among these were such
prominent former segregation
strongholds as Georgia Tech, the
University of Georgia, Tennessee
University, Duke University and
the University Of Miami. Another
significant education development
was the naming of Barney T. Hill

idencies of their respective cities.
They thereby became the first Ne

To overcome Negro voting apa-

their franchise, Northern and
Southern Negro college students
have stepped-up their register-and-

groups. In Mississippi, the Student

Employment
Following the NAACP's brand

plant at Marietta, Ca, as "the
most rigidly segregated plant in
Dixie" and the substantiation of
the charge in a subsequent JFK-

tied to the Presidents Equal En-
ployment Opportunities Committee
headed by Vice-President Lyndon

Armed Forces
Racial progress reports in the
U. S. Armed Forces in 1861 were
few and far between. The most
encouraging of these was the Chief
Executives insistence that the
Coast Guard lin peace time a

to admit qualified Negroes to its
officer training programs. Any
hopes by eligible Negro colonies
for 1861 promotions to generals
rank were disappointed and Ma

South continued to exclude Ne

Negro was assigned for the first
time to perform regular ceremon-
ial duties at the Tomb of the I'm
known Soldier in the nations cap
ital.
Government
Throughout 1861, Negroes chalk
ed up significant gains in govern
mental positions and anti-bias rul-
ings on federal, state and local
levels. Outstanding among these
was the presidential appointment
of some 40 Negroes to a wide var
iety of top-level posts on his New
Frontier team. The federal posi-
tons included three sub-cabinet
posts, three judgeships, two am
bassadorships and a long list OF
administrative executive jobs. On
the state level, Otis M. Smith
former state auditor general and
the states highest ranking Negro
official, was appointed a justice
on the Michigan State Supreme
Court, the first member of his race
to attain that position.
