6 The question of national voting laws should be considered. What should be done to prepare for this fall's elections? III. Bold New Approaches A large part of the civil rights problem results from the fact that Negroes and whites do not really know each other; do not, as the result, have any emotional commitrent to one another. An initial step has been taken in the public accommodations title of, the bill toward breaking down social harriers. Why should not the Federal Government sponsor voluntary "bridge" organi- zations where people would sign up to go to church together, exchange visits at home, and play together? Why not attack the problem of communication between whites and Negroes by a series of White House conferences, by the subsidy of films and books and TV programs? that steps could be taken to make Negroes more mobile and better able to seek economic opportunities? What can be done to reduce the geographic concentration of the Negro population? Quotas? Housing requirements? Relocation allowances? Why not build model, integrated residential comunities on the periphery of large cities (or an Federal land) with substantial Federal assistance? Both rental and sales housing might be offered to various incame levels. All community facilities would of course be integrated. The projects could be married to other objectives of demonstrating sound com- minity planning and improved home design. why not develop some form of foster heme program where the Federal and State governments might encourage families, with appropriate financial incentives, to take in and raise children from minority groups?
