Through the school-house door: Trends in integration, attitudes on a deep-south campus during the first decade of desegregation

Muir, Donal

Sociology and Social Research, 58, 2, 113-21, Jan 74

Four surveys of white student attitudes on the main campus of the University of Alabama, begun in 1963 and continued at 3-year intervals, indicate increasing acceptance of blacks. It would appear that the desegregation of any social system results in rapid rejection of "racial" roles for interaction, assuming that the setting has been politically neutralized. (Author/KM)
