- ON RICHMOND SCHOOL DESEGREGATION PLAN 

In an area ts speak louder than promises, the 

Richmond Public today took a giant stride towards 

the goal of fully desegregated education. The desegregation plan, 

as approved by the court, can be an effective means for progress. 

Implementation of the agreement to totally desegregate 

faculties will greatly augment the School Board's pledge to de- p g 

On the other hand, the agreement does not specify the number 

of schools and the number of chers gregated by 

September of 1966; nor, doe 5 it set a deadline for the accomplish- 

ment. of the complete desegregation of all of the faculties. 

The Board's promise to actively recruit Negroes for top- 

level administrative positions is unprecedented among the more 

than 180 school and faculty desegregation cases presently being 

litigated by the Legal fense and Educational Fund. 

We hope that the same good faith exhibited by the School 

Board in entering this agreement will be carried through in its 

policies and practices in the coming school year. 

And, we look forward t ° » ive evaluation upon con- 

clusion of the spring registrations for 1967-68.
