Description

This article cites a newspaper from Washington, D.C., which predicts that segregationist sentiment in the nation's capital will lead to "Jim Crow" street cars there: "What is true in Washington is true elsewhere, and especially in the South. The thorough and complete separation of the two races, socially and politically, is inevitable." The article mentions that Montgomery recently adopted a city ordinance to enforce segregation in public transportation; it notes that such measures will have political implications as well: "Unless all signs are at fault Alabama has taken the first step towards eliminating the negro from our politics...The time has come for the experiment to end, and it must end in the manner designed by Nature - with the dominance of the white race."
