received a standing ovation, spoke
Of what he termed the three pre-
vailing attitudes on the question
Of progress In race relations. He
described the first AZ being optim-
istic. the second as pessimistic,
and the third as realistic.
He said the first attitude extolls
the gains made In the field. while
the second is motivated by such
subyertive acts as the Little Rock
crisis, the re-surgense Of the Ku
Klux Khan and attacks upon the
Supreme Court. He said the ex-
tremista misrepresents these de-
velopments as meaning that little
or no progress has been made in
race relations.
The third attitude. DR. King
said recognizes that while pro-
gress has been made. we still
have a long way 10 go.
Concerning Negro progress. DR..
King pointed out that the Negro
has come long. long way in
gaining a new self respect and
sense Of dignity. Said he: The
tension which we are witnessing
in race relations today can be ex-
planned In part by the revolution

the walls OF segregation are
crushed by the battering rams Of

DIR. POpe's Message Also Challeng-
ing
Equally as challenging was the
message by DR. Pope, who heads
the Yale Divinity school.
In his frank speech, DR. Pope
admitted that the church is prob
ably the most racially segregated
major institution In American life.
However, he pointed out that the
situation exists primarily on the
local church and community level,
where people must live and
work and worship. face to face,
day after day The crucial test
must be met there, he said The
greatest progress, said DR. Pope,
Is at the top levels OF Protestant
tism. pointing out that there is no
segregation at gatherings of the
National Council OF Churches or
the World Council OF Churches He
also quoted figures 10 show that
there are five times more inter-
racial congregations than there
were 10 years ago,
Negro Denominations Well
Represented
The assembly meeting itself was
interracial and delegates were
housed In the leading hotels Of the
city, such as the Statler Sheraton
jefferson and Lennox.
Among the Negro denominations
were the African Methodist Epis-
