"Changing Agenda"
His experience with officials of
the Los Angeles school system
typifies the kind of situation which
creates the "changing agenda." He
said at first the educators would
not admit that their schools were
segregated. Then they said that
there was segregation, but de facto
and not de jure.
"When they admitted the existence
of the problem, they did not
know what to do about it. Now
they have a plan to present," but
Mr. Farmer warned that their plan
will probably meet with hostility in
the black community.
Mr. Farmer cited two reasons
for what has been called the "civil
rights revolution." In the period
from 1954 until 1964, many
victories were won in the civil rights
movement.
