Citizen participation and the minority viewpoint. Paper presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board HRB, Washington, D.C., January 1973.

A close relation exists between race and transportation. The position of the non-white in the present social structure of the country is examined in the light of history. Non-white protest carries no political weight. The failure of the city of Cleveland to involve people in the planning process is discussed. Consequences which must be faced when the non-white citizen is unable to express himself in government procedures are described. Planning in non-white communities not only would be beneficial but would also result in total community progress.
