- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: PC-30654 CHICAGO IN SECOND SCHOOL BOYCOTT CHICAGO -- The study hall at integrated Tilden High School seemed almost empty as Chicago had its second one-day boycott of schools called by Negro civil rights groups to protest "de facto" segregation. More than 100 "freedom schools" were held, many of them in churches, for Negro students participating in the boycott. Teachers were volunteer college students and others qualified. The Chicago public school system has about 470,000 pupils, approximately 50 percent Negro. Absent from school on boycott day were some 172,350 children, according to the city's Board of Education. In the first boycott, Oct. 22, about 224,770 were reported out of classes. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-2C-64-NAB)
