Excerpt
Although a numerically insignificant part of the metropolitan area of Chicago, Deerfield (population: 10,500) held promise of developing into an attractive and peaceful suburban town where young couples could move with their families of growing children to enjoy the air and sunshine freely and to escape the often unhealthy and unwholesome life of the big city.
But things have changed in the past few weeks. Deerfield is now fast earning the right to be placed in the same category with two other Chicago suburban communities, Cicero and Trumbull Park, and with Montgomery, Ala., and Little Rock, Ark. For a pattern of racial bigotry has been emerging in Deerfield which has, at least for the time being, largely pushed other civil rights matters off the pages of newspapers and magazines; even national radio and television hookups have been telling the nation and the world about Deerfield.
