HOWARD TO BE HOST
TO
EDUCATION
MEET

WASHINGTON-(ANP)- "The
Courts and Racial Integration in
Education." will be the theme of a
conference to be held at Howard
University here April 16-18.
The conference will seek to answer the following questions:
What do present decisions mean
in light of the fact that the Supreme Court has not ruled upon
the question of whether educational segregation per se is discrimination?
Suppose the Supreme Court does
hand down a favorable decision,
what will this mean?
What are the advantages
and
disadvantages of litigation?
What
can litigation do and what can it
not do?
In the event the Supreme Court
hands down a favorable decision,
other questions then present themselves. Among them are:
What is to be the future of the
separate Negro public college which
was established primarily to serve
the higher educational needs of Negroes because they were excluded
from the public colleges
for the
majority
group? And what is to
be the future role of the
Negro
private college?
