...progress made so far has been laughably small compared to what remains to be done. Few of the suburbs have been integrated, and none of those that offer the best housing and schols. Dean Rusk's neighbors in suburban Spring Valley had to sign restrictive covenants forbidding the sale of their houses to Negroes or Jews.
