JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (UPI) A federal court order desegregating city-owned recreation facilities in Jacksonville went into effect apparently without incident Monday.
Police said they knew of no demonstrations or other disturbances in connection with the order, signed last month by U. S. District Judge Bryant Simpson.
One official noted that the true effect of the order couldn't be measured until later, when warmer weather permitted wider use of the city swimming pools, tennis courts, parks, zoo and baseball park.
The order also applied to the Gator Bowl and a new $3 million Coliseum, where a professional ice hockey game is scheduled Tuesday night.
