We strongly urge that this be done at the end of the current school year. The Arlington Branch has been actively concerned with this in 1947 school since we supported a suit brought/by Constance Carter for admission to Washington-Lee because of unequal educational opportuhities offered at Hoffman-Boston. Our main reason for urging closing this highschool is that segregated education is inherently unequal. This position is well stated in the Supreme Court decision of 1954 as follows: "Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the Jaw; for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the Negro group. A sense of inferiority affacts the motivation of a child to learn. Segregation with the sanction of law, therfore, has a tendency to retard the educational and mental development of Negro children and to deprive them of some of the benefits they would receive in a racially integrated school system." Because of its s a i l enrollment Hoffman-Boston has a meager curciculum. Of the 154 course offered in Arlington Senior High Schools this year only 39 are offered at Hoffman-Boston. For example �chemistry and physics are given inalternate years. only three years of French and one of Latin. It offers The other high schools offer five years of French, four years of German, five years of Spanish, four years of Latin and two years of Russian. Since only 20$ of Hoffman-Boston graduates go on to college compared with 75$ from the other high schools, the lack of on— the- job training courses is a serious shortcoming. Atli the other schools students in distributive education, industrial go to school cooperative training and vocational office training tHkaxmamesas a&xxKlmai half time and receive supervised on--the^job tnaining half time. The facilities at Hoffman-Boston are inferior to those at the other high schools. Among its inadequacies are the library, auditorium, and gymnasium. The site is ten acres instead of the twenty-four it should have in order to meet State requirements. The facts brought out in this statement are dealt with in greater detail in the Report of the Hoffman-Boston Planning Committee which was presented to the School Board August 22, 1963. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Negroes are no longer largely confined to unskilled jobs. America's recent great industrial growth, with its intense demand for skilled workers and for professionals in many fields of competence, has opened up a tremendous new job market. Uncle Sam is making a strong effort to assist Negroes in changing their work and training pattern to take advantage of this rich opportunity. Government experts are available for advice and help in career planning, and are organized to remove any race-related inequities in jobs. Too few Negroes know these facts; too few are raising their sights in line with the new situation. Young people are failing to apply for training in the fields now open to them. Men on the job are not seeking the upgrading for which their experience qualifies them. The Job Opportunities Workshop will seek to inform Negroes about the new circumstances and show them the way to help themselves up the economic ladder. Look over the accom­ panying program with care. Note the agencies which are offering information and guidance. This survey should be the groundwork for a concerted effort to improve the job picture for Negroes in northern Virginia. We shall appreciate it if you will publicize the workshop among those you know who can profit by it. We should like to reach high school seniors, young-adult church groups, teachers, school administrators, ministers, PTA and other civic organizations. The workshop will not be generally advertised among white people, but those with a known interest in the subject will be invited; please suggest to me the names of any you think should be included. I particularly hope that you yourself will arrange to attend the workshop. In your position of leadership you can influence young people, and men and women, to take advantage of these new conditions. You are, in fact, one of the key persons in the success of this effort. So please plan to come, and encourage others who should have the benefit of the discussions. Note that registration or reservation should be made early. Yours cordially. Mrs. Charles B.

A satisfactory plan must: (1) Be consistent with the Court's requirement of 'deliberate speed' in abolishing the practice of compulsory segregation.... (2) Employ the basic processes of democracy.... (3) Respect local traditions, beliefs, and customs.... (U) Assure the continued operation of the public schools in every county and city in the commonwealth..." Thus begins a "PLAN" proposed by Dr. B. J. Chandler, Associate Professor, and Dr. Douglas S. Ward, Acting Dean, of the School of Education of the University of Virginia. Dr. Douglas S. Ward will speak before members and friends of the Community Council for Social Progress, Sunday evening, April 8, 1956. Dr. Ward will elaborate upon the content of the plan and tell us something of its background and the reception given it to date. He will also give us his viewpoint on what we, as Northern Virginians, can do to insure compliance with the Supreme Court's decree in our own communities and elsewhere in the State. The meeting will be held at the Arlington Unitarian Church, Arlington Boulevard. As usual we will have coffee and dessert ) at 7:30 P.M. followed by a short business meeting.

It was quite interesting to note the number of persons who either at present or in the past have fig ured prominantly in Arlington pol itics. One was an ex-Congressional candidate from the 10th District of Arlington, several were close ly associated with schools, and at least one was a representative of the NAACP. Nearly all, however, had recently acquired Virginia ci tizenship, having migrated to Ar lington from other areas, bring ing views peculiar to that area with them. Although the ex-professor coun seled “ gradualism,” an exuber ance of feeling for integration “immediately” was expressed by the often repeated phrase, “Ar lington is ready, why wait?” I am interested in knowing the opinions of Arlingtonians on this issue — what about it, are you ready? Sincerely, Brenda Marsh L “ S‘riv" : Several evenings ago while out on a i.'.oll I happened into a meet ing, ‘ open to the public,” which was held in a church. This meeting was attended by b"'h Whi e «nd Colored individu als; and the principal speaker was an rx-professor from the Universi'.y of Virginia.

The main theme of the meeting, was. quite naturally, Integration in Arlington- aaul How to Go About It. As voiced by quite a number of those actively participating in this group, Arlington is now ready quite -ready, in fact. By ‘‘Integra tion,” however, they did not mean merely the schools, but the resi dential areas and all phases of community life as well.

He can send h is child to school and know that an a le r t o ffic e r w ill stop tr a f fic i f need be so that h is son or daughter may make a safe str e e t crossing. His w ife can buy meat at the nearest super-market with the assurance that i t has been inspected and i s fa ir ly weighed and priced. In most matters the Arlington Negro liv e s out h is days with the same elements of risk and with the same measure of c iv ic pro te c tio n threatening him on the one hand and supporting him on the other as i s the common lo t o f a l l men in modem situ a tio n s. But there are areas o f h is l i f e where being a Negro makes a difference in h is days. Believing that many people may be unaware of th i3 d ifferen ce, the Arlington County Human Relations Council would bring the follow ing fa c ts to the attention o f concerned people. 1. I f an Arlington Negro man wants to take h is family out to dinner, he w ill have to go to the D istrict of Columbia to find a restaurant of high quality where they may be seated. They would be turned away from a ll the b etter eating pla ces in Arlington. I f h is family is in the mood for an informal meal, he may buy food to carry home at an Arlington Drive-in Restaurant but he cannot ex pect the kind o f curb service which many white fam ilies enjoy at the end of a busy day. I t i s not clear to what extent restaurant r e str ic tio n s are related to the le g a l ban on mixed seating in public and to what extent they are re lated to the prejudices of white patrons. 2. I f an Arlington Negro wants to see a movie, he must also go to Washington. He camot walk to a neighborhood movie or go to any D rive-in-theatre in the Arlington area because they are a l l closed to Negroes. Nor can he go to a public bowling a lle y or skating rink. He cannot stop for h is children to have pony rides at a public pony lo t . 3. Highly qualified personnel d irect the Arlington recreation program for Negroes but whereas the playgrounds and summer recreation programs for vM te children are located in the neighborhoods where white children li v e , only two small playgrounds are available fo r Negroes. Both of them are inadequate and the largest one, where f u l l scale b a ll games might be played, i s in the southern tip o f Arlington, inaocessable to the large number of Negro youth in North Arlington. Negro children liv e very near some o f the large playing fie ld s designated for white children. They can only watch from the sid e lin e s. I f friendly youngsters c a ll out to them to join the games, they must ignore the in v ita tio n or accept i t knowing that they w ill be sent home in a p o lice car i f they are seen by a cruising o ffic e r or i f a neighbor or passer-by makes a complaint. 4. A Negro man may rush h is ch ild to Arlington Hospital for emergency treatment or for hosp italiza tio n in the non-segregated p ediatrics ward and he may go him self as an out-patient or as a bed patient in the Negro Ward. But when h is wife i s ready to give birth to th e ir baby, he cannot take her to the com munity h ospital where white babies are born. He must take her miles away to a h osp ital in the D istrict or in Alexandria. Perchance her baby can't wait for the Washington h o sp ita l, the Negro mother w ill be attended as an emergen cy case in the Arlington Hospital but she cannot then be placed in the mater n ity ward. She w ill be put in the general ward for Negroes where she might be exposed to any one o f a variety of in fectio u s d isea ses. The general ward for Negroes actually becomes a receiving ward for a l l overflow patients be cause though a Negro may not be placed in sections o f the hospital d esig nated for w hites, i f the white sections are f u l l , the white p atien ts needing space are placed in the Negro ward. This ward is not as carefu lly controlled for v is ito r s as the maternity ward i s , making i t the more unsuitable fo r post d elivery cases. �5. Many Negroes in Arlington own th e ir homes and home ownership i s a thing o f sp ecial pride to them. Many o f Arlington's Negro c itiz e n s are native r e s i dents of the county and liv e on property which was owned t y th e ir parents or grandparents. But when young Negroes marry, even though they are w ell educated and have geod jobs, they cannot find in Arlington, homes which they nay buy or land where Negroes may b u ild . There i s l i t t l e ren tal property availab le to them. So they arnct leave neighborhoods where they hare frien d s, must leave churches where they have roots and r e sp o n sib ilitie s and, whether they lik e i t or not, must liv e in Washington. Older Negroes s i t precariously on th e ir front porches in Arlington because they f e e l that expansion of pub l i c building in the past has been at the expense of Negro land and they won der when some new expansion w ill take th eir property and leave them homeless. 6. It is for a tio n s he is the uncertainty about so many aspects o f h is l i f e that ie most trying Negro in Arlington. Some years ago he knew exactly what h is lim ita were. He didn't lik e being lim ited but he knew what to expect. Now tired of being unknowing about h is statu s. The Negro knows that merit hiring permits him to apply fo r and, i f he i s q u alified , to receive a C iv il Service job in the Arlington community. He does not know to what extent r a cia l prejudice may influence the decision s of the department head who i s responsible for h is promotions. The Negro knows that by Federal Law h is children are now guaranteed public school education on a non-segregated b a sis. He does not know how long i t w ill be before Negroes in Arlington can expect that without individual court appeals, th e ir children w ill a l l be accepted in neighborhood schools ju st as other children are. These certain lim ita tio n s and uncertain opportunities which d a ily confront Negro c itiz e n s in Arlington are f e l t by those who participated in the survey, to be a blight upon the county and a burden upon a l l o f i t s resid en ts. How change and improvement may best be brought about w ill be a matter o f continuing concern to those persons o f several races and of various fa ith s who compose the member ship o f the Arlington County Human Relations Council. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mrs. Marx: If you do not already know the story of Neighbors, Inc. we feel sure your imagination will be fired when you read about this challenging proj ect. Neighbors, Inc. represents the first organized effort in Washington to arrest the usual course of changing neighborhoods becoming ghettoes. By pioneering in this city in developing a modern democratic commun ity it Is on the frontier of efforts to reduce neighborhood tensions and to seek a constructive solution to the human relations aspect of housing. It is dealing in a very concrete, direct way with the silent partner of changing neighborhoods - "flight to the suburbs." The organization and accomplishments of Neighbors, Inc. are described briefly in the accompanying leaflet. It also contains comments about the program from some individuals and organizations well-known in Washington. NI is now approaching the end of a $15,000 grant which provided for a limited experimental program for 18 months. The Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation has allocated $5,000 and an additional $5,000 if matched by NI to carry on the program, but it cannot be released until NI achieves donor tax exemption status. The application has been pending for over a year. A top-notch law firm is now handling the matter free as its con tribution to the work of NI, but a decision will take time. It is, therefore, imperative that NI receive strong community support so that this imaginative and resourceful program which is courageously tackling a tremendously difficult problem of vital importance to the Nation’s capital can continue at its present very modest level. Now without the tax benefit, we are asking you only for a modest donation, perhaps the equivalent of an evening at the theatre or a concert. If you can give more that would be splendid, but no matter what the amount, both we and the members of Neighbors, Inc. will be most appreciative. It Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson Dr. Orris G.

Instead we wanted our area to be a community which welcom es persons of all races and religions. ”1want to take this opportunity of express ing our gratitude in the Council of Churches and for m yself personally for the significant place that Neighbor's Incorporated is taking in the life of our community, and of the out standing service that you are rendering. You have been most helpful to us in the Protestant churches as we have tried to look at this prot> lem, particularly in the northwest section of Washington. Your understanding of the prob lem and the spirit in which you operate is most commendable.” Today we are a growing organization tackling a problem of vital importance to the City of Washington. Our program repre sents the first organized effort in this city to find a solution to the problem o f ’’changing neighborhoods” and "flight to the suburbs”. Through block groups, meetings and lit erature we seek to lessen neighborhood ten sion. We seek to provide knowledge of facts and techniques to enable residents to resist the pressures of rumor and scare tactics of speculative real estate dealers. We also interest other groups in shaping their pro grams to contribute to the broad objectives of neighborhood stabilization. We are work ing with city-wide groups and agencies to relieve, divert and eliminate pressures on changing neighborhoods. 1110 recognition of many organizations and individuals of our accomplishments to ward achieving an open-hearted, friendly neighborhood has encouraged us tremen dously. We are grateful for their endorse ment of our aim to become a demonstration for this country of a modern democratic com munity - one which will also make a contri bution to world opinion toward the United States.

Inc. is paving the way to something very important. You will find us ready to help wherever we can .” Carl F. Hansen Superintendent of Schools "It has been rnv observation that Neigh bors, Inc. has gone about handling the very difficult task of mobilizing sections of the community in a much needed program. . Kucn iftt/t te lle r/. . . "Neighborhood changes and some of the concomitant effects have needed the atten tion of community leaders for many years. Despite the handicaps of beginning almost from scratch, I have been very much im pressed with the way in which people and organizations have been involved in the ef forts of Neighbors, Inc. to promote neigh borhood stabilization, to promote intergroup understanding, to1curb rumors which are so rife, and to handle the sundry matters which come u p ." David Sawyer, Exec. Dir. Com missioners’ Council on Human Relations "As you know, we in the Lamond Riggs Citizens Association have been intensely concerned with efforts to " stab ilize” our area. As an integrated association we be lieve that people of different race and diverse background can learn to live together in a community as neighbors. In our attempts to organize ourselves to achieve this kind of stabilization we have been most fortunate in having the aid of Neighbors, Inc. /tf/t. . . "Neighbors, Inc. has exercised the kind of leadership in the larger community which has made our path clearer. "This leadership has been recognized notonly by our Association. It is significant that church groups, synagogue groups, pub lic school officials, and other citizen asso ciations have come forward whole-heartedly to work with you in this endeavor. " Sol Gnatt, P res. Lamond-Riggs Citizens A s sn ., 1012 Hamilton S t., N. E. (A m y/v.i tf. .. The task of Neighbors, Incorporated in the large changing community area it serves has been tremendous. In its short life it has helped numbers of its citizens with the know ledge that a changing community does not need to retrogress but that all fam ilies of varying religions, nationalities and races — can live together with understanding, pride in themselves, their property and their neighborhood institutions. When neighbor hoods fall apart, the community does also. "Neighbors, Incorporated may well be proud of the cooperation it has won by its own merit from governmental, agency und family groups. It is deserving of the support of any citizen or agency in the District." Russell L. Bradley, Exec. Dir. National Conference of Christians and Jews - 302 Southern Bldg.
