Memo: National Security Council

Even before 1954, when the Supreme Court of the United States of America declared

unconstitutional separate educational and recreational facilities, racial unrest and discord

had become very nearly a part of the American way of life. But that way of life was

repugnant to most Americans. Since 1954, however, that unrest and discord have broken

out into widespread violence which increasingly have placed the peace and stability of

the nation in dire jeopardy. This violence has resulted in loss of life, limb and property,

and has cost the taxpayers of this nation billions of dollars. And the end is not yet in sight.

This same violence has raised the tremendously grave questions to whether

the races can ever live in peace with each other. Each passing month has

brought new intelligence that, despite new laws passed to alleviate the

condition of the Minority, the Minority still is not satisfied.
