To any objective observer, it should be manifest that such a time is not yet--not in the early 1960s. In one city after another, North as well as South, the plain and palpable fact is that where “integration” is pushed too rapidly--more rapidly, that is, than the Negro community is prepared to sustain it or the white community is prepared to accept it--a reverse action has set in. The District of Columbia offers a textbook example: Its public schools passed in eight years from segregation to desegregation to a virtual resegregation, as white families fled from mixed neighborhoods and mixed schools. St. Louis has acknowledged the same experience: William A. Kottmeyer, deputy superintendent of instruction in St. Louis, told the National Conference of Editorial Writers in October 1961 that St. Louis then had more actual segregation in its schools than had existed prior to the _Brown_ decision. Of 130 elementary schools in St. Louis at the time, only 36 were classified as mixed; 46 were all white, and 48 all Negro. Nowhere in the South has school desegregation been attempted under more favorable auspices than in Louisville, yet in 1961-62 the trend back toward resegregation was appearing there, too. Between 1950 and 1960, Baltimore experienced a net out-migration of 175,000 white persons, and a net in-migration of 41,000 nonwhite persons. Dr. Houston R. Jackson, a Negro assistant superintendent of Baltimore schools, said in the summer of 1961 that Baltimore had more all-Negro schools at that time than it had before desegregation began in the fall of 1954: “When the Negroes in a school reach 50 per cent,” he added, “that’s when the white teachers begin to ask for transfers.” And to judge from accounts of school litigation in such Northern localities as New Rochelle, N. Y., and Englewood, N. J., the antipathy of white persons to intimate and personal relationships with Negro persons is not a wholly Southern phenomenon. One satirical lexicographer, observing conditions in Chicago, has defined integration as “the period which elapses between the arrival of the first Negro and the departure of the last white.” Manifestly, the resistance to a coerced racial “equality” is wide and deep.
