The Birmingham Campaign ends: with its member businesses sails falling, the Chamber of Commerce, of Birmingham, alabama, forces the City Council to give into the demands of the campaign: the Chamber agrees to provide equal service to customers of all races. The Council agrees to hire qualified applicants for city employment. The government-run parks are open to all regardless of race. And the Council creates a bi-racial committee to desegregate the city’s government-run public schools.
