The Birmingham Campaign ends: With its member businesses sales 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.
