establishments catering to the public, and abiding, of course, by the rules pro-
hibiting discrimination.
Many who were at first fearful opponents of the law are now among its advo-
cates, and point with pride to the human relations that prevail in the Islands.
The 300,000 tourists who visit us annually from all parts of the Nation
evidence ready acceptance of our way of life. They avail themselves of our
hotels, guest houses, restaurants, beaches, and other facilities and approve
the policy and practice of lack of discrimination.
We are not so foolish as to deny that some problems exist and that there
will continue to be problems. But overall, the Virgin Islands are clearly in
a state of good health in the field of human relations, and the Civil Rights
Act is an important ingredient in this good health program.
Many of you have already been to our charming Islands. The others I hope
will visit us soon. Some day perhaps the Virgin Islands can aspire to be the
host to this Conference, and then you can all see for yourselves the success
of our human relations story.
