The Tuskegee Institute Report on
Race Relations in the South re-
ports that the year 1959 showed
‘a hesitancy hy America’s citizens
to face the moral implications of
continued segregation."
The report, signed and released
Saturday by Tuskegee President
Dr. etaoin etaoin etaoin etaointt
Dr. L. H. Foster, stated that “De-
spite the urgency of America’s as-
piration to promote peace,” there
was “little compelling evidence thM

1959, to advance human under¬
significantly within its

port, “most public officials in the
South, by their comments and pub¬
lic actions, delayed desegregation
8 ^ J discouraged inter-group d,s.
Most American citizen.,” it re-
i oorted, “found their energies de-
voted chiefly to the daily require-
inents of living,” adding that “this
was not easy for most Negroes
because they were confronted often
by outwardly imposed discrimina-
tion in education, voting, employ-
ment. and transportation which
could not be overcome by indivi-
dual effort.”
“This situation,” it said, “tended
to negate the American democratic
ideal.”
“The task (of daily living’ was
dificuit for whites,” too, the re-
port stated, “because of barriers
to effective communication pre¬
vented their understanding that
the aspiration of Negroes is sim¬
ply to share the full rights and
duties of American citizenship.”
The report criticized the “mass
communication media” which it
-aid “reported that commented ex-
tensively on desegregation and
tended to highlight the arguments
for segregation, either directly or
by implication.”

munity services by Negroes and

other organizations remained
largely unreported,” it continued.
“and, as a consequence, the gen-
efal public tended to form opinion*
of the citizenship role of the Ne-
gro based upon the often sense-
tional and negative reports d s- e .
initiated by the mass media.
On the positive side, the report
conceded that “the principle of de
segregation in public situations was
reinforced; and a few instances of
additional desegregation were
noted, both in schools and in other
public situations. With an
casional exception, F’ederal a n d
state court decisions, as well
the adminsitrative and
tive actions of Federal
supported the principle of
regation and sought its
tation.”
“A major contribution,” the
port stated, ‘i.waa the work of
Federal Commission on
Rights,” whqse life was
for two more years.
The report cited a
which it said was reached by
Commission: “Voting,
housing axe so
interrelated that it is
for the problems to be solved
