Segregation, Incorporated

Destination Freedom Destination Freedom Dramatization of the great democratic traditions of the Negro people is brought to you by Station WMAQ as a part of the pageant of history and of America's own Destination Freedom. Today, Destination Freedom departs from its regular format to bring you one of the most vital human rights reports to be made in this decade.

It is a carefully documented report by a committee of prominent American educators, Churchmen, Juris, Business and Civic Leaders. In a factual presentation of the work of the National Committee on Segregation in the Nation's Capital, Destination Freedom brings you the chapter entitled, Segregation Incorporated.

In this program, there are no invented scenes or imaginary incidents. Segregation Incorporated is strictly non-fictional. A stage for today's chapter is set along the banks of the beautiful Potomac. A site picked by George Washington as the capital of our country.

A site seen yearly by millions of visitors from all over the country and from overseas. The steel and granite government buildings, the marble monuments of Washington, Jefferson and Blinken are shrines symbolizing the meaning of America.

And by plane, by train, by bus, by car, citizens come from all over America, the world, to get a brighter sense of what America stands for. visit the gallery, gate to the buildings, read the inscriptions, alone or touring in groups like this one.

This is it folks, the greatest capital on anybody's earth. Right over there is the US Mint with a lunnies pay. And right over there if you stand up you can see the White House where the President is right this minute.

Suppose right here before this cross-section of America we stop the bus and tap the shoulder of the Barker and point out to his tourists another side of the Washington story. Look, there's nothing about Washington.
