In 1960. there were 26.000 of them. Today. in all schools. including parochial and private. there are only about 13.000. against approximately 90.000 Negro children of the same age group in schools of all types. Thus Washington. in a few years. is clearly due to be a city nearly nine tenths Negro. But the Negro immigration and the white emigration that are jointly producing this result in Washington are not unique District of Columbia phenomena. They are nationwide urban phenomena. which merely appeared a little later in other cities. In Detroit. Philadelphia. Baltimore. Chicago and Saint Louis. to name five. the racial mix in the elementary schools has already passed the halfandhalf point which Washington reached in 1947.
