Description

Article from The Swarthmore Phoenix published on September 21, 1962 announcing that a roller skating rink in Chester, PA was ordered to cease its discriminatory practices by the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. This news is shared as a success following the month-long efforts of the Chester Youth Council of the NAACP and Swarthmore students to desegregate the rink. Details of the trial, including the students involved, as well as the event that led to it, are disclosed.
