The people of my State of Massachusetts have been making this kind of adjustment for 300 years. We have absorbed every racial nationality group. from the Puritans to the Poles to the Puerto Ricans. Massachusetts today has a higher percentage of foreign nationality groups than any other State in the country. Fully 40 percent of the people of my State. according to the latest census. are either immigrants or children of immigrants. Every problem this bill treatsbe it voting. equal accommodations. employment. or educationhas arisen in my State at one time or another and we have solved themby persuasion where possible. by law where necessary. We have not suffered from this effort.
