1965 Press Photo Harold Howe II Commissioner Education

Caption: Howard Howe II, newly named U.S. Commissioner of Education, holds a news conference today. He told reporters he is not going to be soft on desegregation when he takes over his new post, possibly next month. The real progress in desegregation will come through a change in attitude of the type he has seen in North Carolina during the past two years, he said. Howe has been executive director of the Learning Institute of North Carolina.
