Containers:
Box 2, Folder 43
Scope and content:

This is a typescript copy of a letter that Gregory H. Swanson wrote to the editor of the Washington Post. In the letter, Swanson suggests that an earlier editorial in the Washington Post, "Babel," might have had a role in persuading the administration of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower to make its position on desegregation more clear. Swanson then expresses his opinion that efforts to end racial segregation in the United States can no longer be delayed.

The Washington Post published an edited version of this letter on November 29, 1956, titled "Delayed Justice."
