Title
Desegregation -- May There Be No Sudden Flux
Issue Date

Description
Written a few months after the Brown v. Board of Education decision that found racial segregation in schools to be unconstitutional.

It reflects on the likely changes coming in the future and calls for gradual integration. It argues that while for many whites "Negroes as a group have an unfavorable connotation," specific Black people typically do not. Therefore, letting individual Black students prove themselves is a better option than a "sudden flux."
