Title: Protestant civil rights march to Capitol.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-31035 PROTESTANT CIVIL RIGHTS MARCH TO CAPITOL WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Some 270 Protestant ministers and laymen from 41 states and the District of Columbia marched to the U.S. Capitol and petitioned the Senate for swift passage of a strong civil rights bill. The procession formed at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation, where services urging an end to racial injustice were being held daily, and stopped briefly at the U.S. Supreme Court building for prayers commemorating the 10th anniversary of the decision against public school segregation. The procession, which was followed by visits to Senators, was organized by the National Council of Churches’ Commission on Religion and Race.
