Education: Sequel at McDonogh 19
New Orleans this year has seven Negro children peacefully attending five formerly all-white schools. To this relative progress the school board last week added an ironic footnote. One of the board's continuing problems has been McDonogh 19 School, notorious in 1960 as the place where spitting white harridans created ugly disorders. Totting up McDonogh's still sharply reduced enrollment—five Negroes, 15 whites in a school built for 570—the school board converted once all-white McDonogh to an all-Negro school.
