...Ladies, take your marks!" The starter's gun barked, and six of the U.S.'s fastest women swimmers slammed into the water of Chicago's Portage Park pool, arms flailing and legs churning. On the fourth lap, the freckle-faced blonde in Lane 4 began to pull away-increasing her lead with each powerful stroke, while her competitors strained vainly to match her pace.

Both Negroes and whites do their serious shopping on the town's main street and neither race is confined to the "inside lane." Negroes loiter in white areas, and when colored people talk and walk together no one seems to wonder on whose ground they stand. If Negroes eat at the same crowded restaurant or get their haircuts in one of two tightly packed barbershops, well, they might prefer it that...
