Early this year a Circuit Judge in Arlington ruled that the law was unconstitutional. On the strength of that decision the C. C. S. P. applied to the local School Board for the use of a School Auditorium for a public meeting, requesting that segregated seating would not be enforced. This request was refused and the C. C. S. P. instructed its Attorney to challenge the law in court. At this is preparing Appeals. If be abolished decision, we time our case has progressed to the point where our attorney for an appeal to the Virginia State Supreme Court of this court decides in our favor, the seating law will for the whole State. If we should get an unfavorable Intend to take our case to the U. S. Supreme Court. We anticipate that it will cost $500.00 for minium expenses to take our case before the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. C. C. S. P. expects to raise as much as possible of this amount from its member ship, but we are a small group of persons of limited means and we need your help. This is a crusade which deserves the support of everyone who believes in the democratic system. It Is our opportunity to render a service to the cause of human decency. In order to make many persons aware of the stake we all have in this struggle, we are asking for financial assistance from a large number of people. Since every citizen is affected by the seating law and therefore has a personal interest In the court case, contributing to defray the costs of this case is not illegal under Virginia Law. Checks may be made payable to: The Community Council for Social Progress; cash donations will gladly be accepted by one of the officers who will arrange to have them picked up. Cail JA 5-1565 to arrange for pick-up. We earnestly ask that you and the members of your group or church contribute as generously as you feel you can so this necessary legal action can be carried through to sucess.

Public awoke calm and Glancing at the newspapers over O serene. black headlines. A Committee on his coffee, he saw some bold, Civil Rights, ap N Oc t o b e r pointed by President Truman, had issued a Report on its findings. This didn’t impress Mr. Public much at first. He went on drink ing his coffee, complacent in the thought that we have a Consti tution which guarantees freedom and equality to all. He had always taken it for granted that the American people, devoted to their heritage, were living up to it in their everyday life. he read more about the Report, Mr. Public got a shock. Committee, which was B According to the President’s from all walks of life, a com posed of 15 distinguished citizens great u t a s many of our people were being deprived of their civil rights through racial and religious discrimination. In fact, a year of public hearings and investigation had revealed a mess of pretty startling data showing that some of our people are denied the right to vote, are refused jobs and decent homes to live in because of their race; that others aren’t admitted to certain colleges and professional schools because of their religion or ancestry. Q. Public began to feel pretty low. He had consumed four coffee and evidence kept piling up. But last Jhecups of lift when hestill thewhat the Committee said at theatend of got a read o h n its Report: “We have seen nothing to shake our conviction that the civil rights of the American people —all of them —can be strengthened quickly and effectively by the normal processes of democratic constitutional government. That strengthening, we believe, will make our daily life more and more consonant with the spirit of the American heritage of freedom.” m HiLE Mrs. Public warned him he’d be late at the office, he ^ v glanced hurriedly over the Committee’s suggestion for legis lation and education that would strengthen and extend civil rights throughout the nation. He decided to get hold of the com plete Report, read it carefully and see if there was anything he could do to help straighten things out a bit. �Montclair took the President’s Report to M ontclair is a suburban town in New Jersey, with a population of 45,000. Although 131 of its citizens are listed in “W ho’s W ho in America,” the residents of M ontclair have, on the whole, the usual run of interests, social activities and worries. W hen these people heard about the findings of the President’s Committee on Civil Rights, they w anted to do something about it. They went a step further. They d i d something about it. They conducted an A U D IT to discover just where M ontclair stood in providing personal freedom and equality of opportunity to all. Of course, the whole town did not act all at once. First some civic-minded individuals be gan to think in terms of examining and im prov ing hum an relations in their own neighborhood. They pooled thoughts and efforts with others who held similar views. Out of this gradually grew a concerted movement th a t reached a climax in an audit undertaken by five organiza tions in the community: the M ontclair Forum, the American Veterans Committee, the M ont clair Intergroup Council, the local chapter of the N ational Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Intercultural Group of the New Jersey State Teachers College. Volunteers from these organizations formed team s and investigated six areas of community life: • • • • • • EMPLOYMENT HOUSING RECREATION EDUCATION PUBLIC HEALTH PUBLIC FACILITIES After considerable research and personal interviews, intended not to stand in judg ment over the offenders but to accumulate live facts, the teams were ready to report. Their discoveries bear a strong resemblance to those of the President's Committee. They reveal that many inhabitants of Montclair are being deprived of their Constitu tional rights and protections. Here is the Montclair Balance Sheet — a listing of the town’s shortcomings and accomplishments in the form of assets and liabilities: �MONTCLAIR'S BALANCE SHEET LIABILITIES ASSETS P U B L IC —The D ept, of Public W orks and the Bureaus * of Public N ursing and Public W elfare pick employees without discrimination. P R IV A T E — The following organizations have been fair in their em ployment practices: New Jersey Bell Tele phone Company; Prudential Insurance Company; Westinghouse Electric Company; Sears, Roebuck and Co., M ontclair Store. P U B L IC — There are only four Negro policemen on a 70 man force. There are no Negro firemen. e m p lo y m e n t. . . P R IV A T E — There are alm ost no opportunities for em ploym ent for Negroes in private positions other than m anual or laboring capacities. Certain other groups, in cluding Jews, are excluded from some commercial and clerical jobs. Since Montclair is a suburban town w ith m any oI its people em ployed in surrounding areas, the su rvey included som e em ployers outside the limits o 1 Montclair. T H E one encouraging development in the field of housing A is the veterans’ tem porary project where houses are being allocated solely on the basis of need, without refer ence to the applicant’s name, address, color, religion or national origin. h ou sin g . . . The housing team s interview ed SO hom e ow ners and tenants, a dozen real estate brokers end agents, and exam ined nearly 200 dee d s in the Hall of Records. P R IV A T E L Y operated recreation facilities do discrim inate —the town’s only roller skating rink bars Ne groes. A pattern of segregation is followed in bowling alleys. The YMCA is segregated —one branch for whites and another for Negroes. F A C IL IT I E S of the Public Recreation D epartm ent are '* open to, and used by persons of all colors, races and ■ creeds w ithout discrimination. The Boy and Girl Scouts practice some segregation, due largely to population and sponsorship factors, but all groups mix together in summer camps. TN junior and senior high schools, students play and A work together well. Growing participation is evidenced by all racial, religious and national-origin groups in student government, athletic activities and dram atic groups. T H E R E is no apparent discrimination in the tax-supported public health program or in the clinics. All the hospitals have lately begun to employ Negro nurses. T H R E E of the eating places surveyed were apparently A fair in their practices. J3EAL estate operators have a tacit agreement to keep 1 members of certain racial and religious groups out of certain areas. Of the 170 deeds examined, 40 contained restrictive covenants, prohibiting the sale, lease, or gift of property to certain groups for periods from one to 25 years. M inority people m ust often pay premium prices. T H E R E is a tendency to create segregated elementary * schools through an “optional area” device under which parents may have some choice as to the school to which they send their children. Although 17% of M ontclair’s population is Negro, the schools have only one regular full-tim e Negro teacher, one full-tim e substitute and six part-tim e substitutes among 257 classroom teachers. Jl^L T H O U G H the town has numerous Negro physicians, x none has access to the town’s three hospitals. This dis crimination means th a t a Negro doctor can treat his patient only up to the time he needs hospitalization. Public health committee reported th a t this has seriously hampered the town in fighting disease effectively. N aturally, lack of hospital experience retards professional growth of the excluded physicians. public h ealth . . . public fa cilities . . , Eight eating places w ere su rve yed — including res taurants, cafeterias and ice cream parlors. ^*^N E restaurant refused to serve Negroes; four gave ex tremely rapid service and the restaurant employees showed th a t they were annoyed. Some white customers showed considerable agitation. �HERE ARE SOME THINGS MONTCLAIR FOUND OUT... HOW DOES YOUR TOWN ADD UP? Three o! the eight restaurants served Negroes without discrimination. O ne refused to serve a n d in four places th e s e rv ic e w a s ra p id a n d d isco u rte o u s. Are the people in y o u r town enjoying more or fewer rights than the inhabitants of Montclair, New Jersey? The only way to find out is to do w hat M ontclair did — conduct an audit of your own. First, get acquainted with the R eport of the Presi dent’s Committee oh Civil Rights and see for yourself how the whole nation adds up. Then, take an inventory of your own com m unity’s assets and liabilities. If your balance sheet shows a substantial “profit,” you’ve got a healthy, thriving town. But, remember, it takes a lot of hard work and constant watching to keep the “profits” zooming. On the other hand, if you’re operating at a loss — W ATCH OUT! Social, economic and moral collapse are on their way if you don’t do something about it now. The audit is only the beginning — it’s the follow-up th a t’s really im portant. IT'S UP TO A U OF US In the last analysis, it is up to each and all of us, the people of these United States, in our cities, towns and villages, to eliminate from our society the evils th a t cause hardship and suffering and which drain our n a tional strength. Let’s begin with facts! Let’s have an audit! P u b lic h e a lth se rv ic e s a n d p ra c tic e s w e re fair.

BUT PLEASE NOTE: Getting a crowd together and having a few speakers lam bast the town is not helpful; in fact, it m ay be harm ful. Do w hat they did in M ontclair: get respected organ izations to select competent teams of able citizens to study for as much as six months the areas in which civil liberties may be violated and where racial and religious discrimination are practiced. D on’t send out w itch-hunt ers! Enlist the aid of open-minded, fair-minded citizens who will report the good as well as the bad. Have them announce their findings, as they did in M ontclair, to a large audience of those who can best pitch in to improve matters. Set them to work . . . Keep them a t work. HOW DOES YOUR TOWN ADD UP? �hat p u r Community can do to boost the asset side of your balance sheet Back the recommendations for legislation set forth in the Report of the President’s Committee. These are practical measures designed to cut down the areas where discrimination may take hold. See to it that your local government is uncompromising in its opposition to dis crimination and sets a shining example to the rest of the town. Publish the findings of your investigation through radio programs, discussion groups, public meetings, newspaper accounts. Wide publicity may induce many establishments, sensitive to public opinion, to abandon their discriminatory practices. Enlist the aid of local organizations — the churches, business, labor and veteran groups, parent-teacher associations and clubs of all kinds —in your effort to pro mote better relations in the community. Use devices like the Montclair Freedom Truck to dramatize to the community our heritage of freedom and equality. In connection with Freedom Week, the M ont clair Development Board has sent a trailer through the town carrying on board a display of historical documents assembled from local sources, giving an insight into the section’s early history and the struggle of settlers to establish their freedom. Work on a long-range educational campaign, using every available means at your disposal to: • Inform people of the fundamental rights to which they are entitled and which they owe to one another. O Acquaint them with scientific findings which disprove racist nonsense. # Point out that the prosperity of our communities depends upon neigh borly teamwork, an “open door” in employment and education and full use of skills and talents of all our people. ^ Remind everyone of the costs to society that result from discrimina tion : tensions and bitterness; slums and delinquency; wasted talents, scholarship and leadership: unemployment; reduced purchasing power and resulting losses to business. �M ontclair citizens planning the public m eeting on the Audit.

O ut of th a t idea was born the C om m unity Council for Social Progress. T he CCSP is an inter-faith, inter-racial organization. I t studies existing social prob lems, and inconsistencies in the field of civil liberties, provides a forum for discussion, and seeks to bring about changes through duly c o nstituted channels. In the w ords of its constitution, the C C SP’s purpose is to “ pro m ote the full developm ent of dem ocratic principles in hum an relations.” It seeks co operation of citizens of good will for the extension of the full rights, privileges and responsibilities of life in our com m unity to residents of all races and religions. T he C om m unity Council for Social Progress has enjoyed a vigorous existence. Its m eetings have brought together forward looking citizens of N orthern V irginia to dis cuss and act on such questions as the need for low income housing in this area, employ m ent opportunities for youth, th e Supreme C ourt decision on segregation in the schools, the G ray Plan and subsequent legislation. The lively exchange of view points a t these m eetings gives a new aspect to such topics, and the CCSP offers a channel for construct ive action on these problems as they touch our com m unity.

The auditorium (which doubles as a little theater), the cafeteria and library fa c ilitie s are constructed as the largest cam­ pus unit. The gymnasium may be a part of this building or may be a separate structure. This arrangement is extremely important to the community as a whole sin ce the auditorium and library may be used as an educational fa cility for the adults of the community during periods when school is not in s e s sio n . The classroom s may be constructed as sepa.rate four-room units with play areas for each unit. This plan permits construction which takes advantage of the sloping contour. The classroom units may be clustered in fan -lik e contour about the Auditorium-Library Building. Each classroom has one full d e sk -to -c e ilin g window w all and one high-windowed w a ll. The wonderful natural outdoors area can be used educationally to study wild life , and by moving entire c la s s e s out of doors in spring and fa ll, "Ding Dong School" outdoor c la s s e s can be held. Experience has shown that teacher and pupil morale are extremely high in w ell planned small building classroom s. In some communities with campus type public elementary sch ools like th is, the County, Library and Park Boards have cooperated in developing the Library and recreational fa c ilitie s , including a swimming pool. For those communities where large lump sums are not available for school construction in a sin gle year, th is campus type elem en­ tary school plan is both practical and fea sib le sin ce it allow s the construction of additional classroom units in later years as needed. These additions can be made without disrupting normal school a c tiv itie s. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

O ut of that idea was born the C om m unity Council for Social Progress. T h e CCSP is an inter-faith, inter-racial organization. It studies existing social prob lems. a n d inconsistencies in the field of civil liberties, provides a forum for discussion, and seeks to bring about changes through duly co n stituted channels. In the w ords of its constitution, the C C SP’s purpose is to “ pro m ote the full developm ent of democratic principles in hum an relations.” It seeks co operation of citizens of good will for the extension of the full rights, privileges and responsibilities of life in our com m unity to residents of all races and religions. T he C om m unity Council for Social Progress has enjoyed a vigorous existence. Its m eetings have b rought together forward looking citizens of N orthern V irginia to dis cuss and act on such questions as the need for low income housing in this area, employ m ent opportunities for youth, the Supreme C ourt decision on segregation in the schools, the G ray Plan and subsequent legislation. T he lively exchange of view points a t these m eetings gives a new aspect to such topics, and the CCSP offers a channel for construct ive action on these problem s as they touch our com m unity. T h e C CSP believes th a ts it program will be successful only as it is carried out in a considerate spirit, w ith constant aw are ness of responsibility to the entire com m unity to foster an atm osphere of good will. T here can be no b e tte r w ay of stren g th ening dem ocracy and the hope of worl'd peace than for responsible citizens to join w holeheartedly in w orking for the practical application of o ur country’s com m itm ent to liberty and justice for all. CCSP enables its m em bers and friends to do ju st that. You are cordially invited to attend C CSP meetings. M eetings are held on the fourth Sunday of each m onth a t 7:30 p. m. at the U nitarian Church of A rlington, 4444 A rlington Boule vard. A t each m eeting a talk on a topic of current interest to the com m unity is followed by an open discussion period. M E M B E R S H IP A N D S P O N S O R S H IP — M em bership is open to all individuals who subscribe to the purpose of the Council. The CCSP is sponsored by the U nitarian Church of A rlington. It invites the fu rth er ( �sponsorship of any civic o r religious group th at is in accord w ith its purpose.
