Stalked by Humiliation. Reading softly from a prepared statement, Wilkins urged the Senate Commerce Committee to approve the bill's much-debated public-accommodations section, which would guarantee Negroes equal access to hotels, restaurants and similar privately owned facilities catering to the public. "The affronts and denials that this section, if enacted, would correct are intensely human and personal. Very often they harm the physical body, but always they strike at the root of the human spirit. From the time [Negroes] leave home in the morning en route to school or to work, to shopping or to visiting, until...
Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman did not decide that question (nor has any other federal court so far). He ruled only that gerrymandering had violated equal protection under the 14th Amendment. The outcome jogged white minds all over the North. Given free access to other schools, Lincoln's pupils on the whole did better, except for some who landed in a white school that overwhelmed them. Because two-fifths of Lincoln's pupils chose to remain, New Rochelle is now closing the 65-year-old building, assigning the children to balanced schools, and launching an extensive bus service...
...officials have little chance to know and evaluate individuals, and the students themselves probably have little sense of "continuing responsibility" to Harvard. A permissive attitude toward undergraduate organizations, therefore, could lead to situations that would discredit the University.

The Socialist Club is just an incidental victim of a broad rule insuring a lack of opportunity for everyone...
...Grim Surprise. Led by a dedicated woman named Gloria Richardson, Cambridge Negroes had been demonstrating for months for a city ordinance guaranteeing equal access to restaurants, movies and other public accommodations and an end to other forms of segregation.* In mid-June, violence reached such a pitch that the local authorities asked Governor J. Millard Tawes to send in the National Guard. The Guard kept order, relatively speaking, for 25 days. During that time, leaders of both races negotiated a truce. Mrs. Richardson said she would keep her demonstrators off the streets for a few weeks to give the white...
...Constitution go to the equality of all citizens, the integrity and dignity of the individual, and should not be placed on any lesser ground." But the Administration shies away from such an approach. The reason: the Supreme Court 80 years ago declared unconstitutional a legislative guarantee of equal access to public accommodations which was based on the 14th Amendment. Signed into law on March 1, 1875, the statute provided that "all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, public conveyances...
