Commercial musical concerts can be heard in three music halls by all groups, and non-commercial concerts are frequently presented at the various government auditoriums under the auspices of the Federal Recreation Committee.
All professional sports are exhibited on a non-segregated basis. These include baseball, football, boxing, wrestling, ice hockey, ice capades and the roller derby.
Most of the larger hotels and restaurants provide accommodations for such social events as private dinners, banquets and dances for predominantly white interracial social affairs in addition to six other social centers.
The report states that there may be other places not listed which will provide accommodations for mixed groups, if arrangements are made in advance.
A number of the restaurants included on the list serve all races on an individual basis as well as in interracial groups.
