general public. II In the first large
Cities offered for sale To both Ne
ference NAACP and rector OF st.
Philips Episcopal church, called on
the churches OF the nation to help
the states affected by the deci-
sion carry out the courts decision.
Mr.. Carly said;
what the Supreme court has
done at this time Is TO confirm the
faith of the leadership Of the
NAACP and their followers In the
fundamental justice Of the basic
principles of democracy.
I'VE say that this Is no new af-
firmation but the reckoning OF the
concepts OF the Declaration Of In
dependence: "All men are created
equal and endowed with certain
inalienablc rights"
During the brief American his
tory. selfishness and greed have
permitted a majority OF her citi-
gems TO lose sight OF the fact.
II am convinced that history
will record the work Of the MA
ACP and its indomitable leaders
as equivalent TO the work OF the
prophets OF Israel, In refusing to
permit the nation TO forget its
heritage OF justice upon which II
was founded.
II am greatly concerned to see
what our religious institutions are
going to do now. They have hid
den behind the DOGGY" OF local
customs in perpetuating segregat-
ed schools.
Nov that the nation has
spoken and enunciated the prin-
ciples they should have long said
will they endeavor to redeem
themselves and be the vanguard In
implementing the courts decree"
