FROM: Office Manager TO: All Hands We have been informed, by the office of Health, Education & Welfare, Washington D.C., That a White Christmas would be in violation of Title II Of the Civil Rights Act, 1964. Therefore, the following steps are to be taken to insure that we comply with the Act during Christmas season, in these offices. 1. All Christmas trees must have at least 24.4% colored bulbs and they must be placed throughout the tree and not segregated in the back of the tree. 2. Christmas presents cannot be wrapped in white paper. However, interim approval can be given if colored ribbon is used too. 3. If a manger scene is used, 20% of the angels and one out of three of the kings must be of a minority race. 4. If Christmas music is played, We Shall Overcome must be given equal time. Under no circumstances is Im Dreaming Of A White Christmas to be played. 5. CARE SHOULD BE GIVEN WHEN PLANNING, FOR EXAMPLE: A. Use pink champagne instead of white. B. Turkey may be served, but onlyy if the white and the dark meat are on the same platter. There will be no separate, but equal platters permitted. C. Use chocolate royale ice cream instead of vanilla. D. Both chocolate and white milk must be served. There will be no Freedom Of Choice plan. Milk will be served without regard to color. A team from HEW will visit us on December 25th to determine our compliance with the Act. If it snows on Christmas Eve, we are all in a Hell of a lot of trouble.
