Abstract

Jim Crow in Church. Challenge to Christians
Rowland Jr., Stanley | May 19, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The sparks of race violence in the South erupt from one of the century's most explosive and hopeful forces — the revolt of the majority against "white supremacy." From Alabama to Africa, race tensions delineate only one aspect of the current world revolution of the downtrodden and oppressed. But race is perhaps the most sensitive aspect. Before World War II the churchman frequently postured like the ostrich, head in the pastoral sand, while men practiced discrimination and some Christians decried the church as the "most segregated" institution in the U.S.
