Abstract	The Black/Mexican-American Project has two general goals congruent with the purpose of the Emergency School Assistance Program, under which it was funded: (1) to identify points of tension and cooperation between minority students in the Houston Independent School District; and (2) to suggest ways of improving relations between the minorities. So that decision-makers might know more about the effects of desegregation in Houston, the Houston Council on Human Relations has conducted a survey of 142 parents and 1105 students of schools with the sizable number of Mexican-Americans and blacks enrolled. The results of these surveys must be viewed in the context of two overriding circumstances that bear on student and parent attitudes toward desegregation: (1) the desegregation plan, ordered by the Fifth Circuit Court, and (2) discipline in the schools. The results of these surveys imply that, for all else desegregation may have accomplished, it has not resulted in a meaningful contact between racial groups. Most students will prefer to attend a school where their own race predominates, and most parents do not believe desegregation has improved attitudes. The most unfortunate corollary is that mere numerical desegregation has not produced attitudinal desegregation. Groups in a desegregated school still keep to themselves. (Author/JM)
