Education: Progress Report I

Nearly six years and scores of lawsuits after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional, the Southern Education Reporting Service last week issued a glum report. Of the 17 affected states and Washington, D.C., only West Virginia and the District of Columbia are completely desegregated. Of the 3,039,133 Negroes in Southern public schools, only 6% are attending integrated classes.
