Stores Abolish Segregation
(IV.Z. Press ’Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, October 17.
Four of the United States’ leading chain store groups announced today that they had abolished racial segregation in their luncheon facilities in 112 cities in the Southern States.
The stores said they were "conscious of a great social change occurring in the United States which has been dramatised by the student sit-in movement.”
They said they reached their integration decision after conferences with Government, State and local authorities and other interested groups.
