This report of a conference on "Desegregation without Turmoil" describes the community organization and public information efforts that preceded the implementation of government ordered school integration in cities where this transition was accomplished peacefully. It is the position of the participants in the conference that peaceful desegregation in such communities, e.g., Detroit, Memphis, and Prince George's County, Maryland, could be directly attributed to these efforts. In cities where there was turmoil, the report maintains, the communities themselves were at fault, failing to adequately prepare the parents and children for the desegregation process. The first part of this report describes the forming of coalitions, the participation of various community sectors, and the activities undertaken to facilitate peaceful integration. The second part of the report consists of the conference program schedule, texts of conference speeches by Ben Holman and George Meany, and an extensive list of individual and organizational resources on desegregation.

Presented here are the remarks of William Bradford Reynolds, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division at the Education Commission of the States National Project on Desegregation Strategies' Workshop. Reynolds states that mandatory busing and other remedial techniques to achieve racial balance in schools (measures tentatively sanctioned by the United States Supreme Court after the Swann decision of 1971) have not fared well. The speaker says that the Department of Justice will now emphasize a remedy that will remove State enforced barriers to open up access to public schools; to ensure that all students are provided with educational opportunities of comparable quality; and to provide individual relief to students injured by unconstitutional state actions. Reynolds cites the overseeing of the development of a desegregation plan in Chicago, Illinois in which the Justice Department is emphasizing voluntary desegregation techniques.

This testimony was delivered by William Bradford Reynolds, the Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division, before the Subcommittee on Separation of Powers, Committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate. Reynold states that compulsory busing of students is not an acceptable remedy to achieve racial balance. He emphasizes the responsibility of state and local school boards to formulate educational policies in accordance with Titles IV, VI and IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as the Equal Education Opportunity Act of 1974. Reynolds argues for alternative solutions to achieve school desegregation. In developing specific remedial techniques, Reynolds cites the Department of Justice's intent to thoroughly investigate the background of every racially identifiable school in a district to determine whether the racial segregation is de jure or de facto. Reynolds also states that the Department further recognizes several desegregation approaches that seem most promising: voluntary student transfer programs, magnet schools, enhanced curriculum requirements, faculty incentives, in service training programs for teachers and administrators, school closings in systems that are overcrowded, and adjustments to attendance zones.
