ABSTRACT
In every city we have examined so far, the school desegregation issue has been accompanied by demonstrations, court suits, and considerable controversy. Baltimore, during the summer of 1963, was faced with a series of complaints; by the end of the summer major action had been taken to meet the demands made, and yet there had been no demonstrations of importance and hardly any public statements that suggested conflict. For this reason, Baltimore may provide us with an important case history.
