Last Sunday morning my pastor. Dr. F. Benjamin Davis, made a very interesting appeal to a congregation of more than 500 regarding the Emancipation committee of 70 ministers concerning the racial s tuation in Alabama. This committee met last Friday to offer a program on behalf of the
race relations situation there.
Dr. Davis urged all to write letters, not nasty or
demanding, to the governor of Alabama and Federal authorities asking that the racial violence he
put to a stop in some way.
We know that manv whites are
against such conditions. Our pas- street, is back atjhe hospital await-
tor stated that both whites and Negroes are involved, therefore the committee is appealing to all to write letters asking that the law enforcement officials of Alabama uphold the Constitution and
Supreme Court rulings. “If you can’t write, you
pray,” the pastor went on to say. The local committee includes Dr. Davis and Rev. A. J. Brown as
Eastside ministers.
