"The Atlanta Protest" by John Stapleton, 1960

Stapleton, John

1960

1960-1969

A complete account of the Atlanta demonstration against racial injustice. A group of Southern Christian ministers met in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 25 to support the city's Black community in their protests against racial injustice. This was the culmination of four days of planning and discussion involving ministers from across the South. The ministers aimed to make a "public witness" to Christ's will amid racial tensions and crises and to catch the public eye with their insistence that hate and injustice have no place in a society claiming love, reconciliation, and unity through Christ. 3 pages.
