...statute says very clearly that all "citizens of the U.S. shall have the same right, in every state and territory, as is enjoyed by white citizens thereof, to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey real and personal property." Congress, said Justice Potter Stewart, "meant exactly what it said." And it had the power to say so under the 13th Amendment, which, according to an earlier court decision, had enabled the legislature to abolish "all badges and incidents of slavery." In addition, said Stewart, Congress had not indicated any distinction between private and public acts of discrimination. "So long...
Negro culture as a discipline is so new that there are inevitable disagreements over precisely what should be taught and who should teach it. Some student groups insist that only a Negro can fully appreciate and convey the implications of black culture. There are not nearly enough professors-black or white-with academic specialization in the field. Partly out of practical necessity, universities generally agree that a teacher's color is irrelevant in matters of scholarship. "You don't need a Greek to teach Greek or a Communist to teach Marx," contends Rutgers Provost Richard Schlatter. Anyone with...
...primary purpose of the Negro-culture courses is, of course, to convey information, clear up misconceptions, and tell it like it is-or was. This also often tends to ease racial tensions, although Michigan State Historian James Hooker sadly notes the case of one black student in his Negro-history class who disliked whites before taking the course, then "found out that Whitey had really known what he was doing to black people-so now he hates him even more." More often, though, the candid classes have a kind of "group therapy" effect, in which inner feelings surface and understanding...
More Roads. Wherever new fields are built, faster ways must be found to speed the traveler through them. At Love Field in Dallas, Braniff International intends to do it partly through a "Fastpark Jetrail," a monorail that will convey passengers and their baggage from an outlying parking lot into the terminal itself. Airlines are spending $150 million altogether on automated ticket-writing equipment and on a joint reservation system. Between the two, a potential passenger could go to a supermarket, bank or hotel to determine plane space and buy a charge-card ticket, then be checked in by machine when...
...plane. Airport access roads are becoming altogether too crowded, and cities are searching for new ways to cover the distance. One is helicopters, but they have generally proved uneconomical to operate. Cleveland this fall will begin service on a 4.2-mile, $18,600,000 rapid-transit spur that will convey travelers by train from downtown to Hopkins Airport. New York is similarly experimenting with buses that can go part of the way to Kennedy by rail. Most cities, however, are unimpressed by fixed-route service, since downtown passengers are now only a fraction of the total. The remainder reach...
