Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30501 CATHOLIC COUNCIL HONORS PROTESTANT CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER CHICAGO -- An awards dinner of the Catholic Interracial Council of Chicago, where Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, chief executive officer of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., was honored for civil rights leadership, was described as "one of the most important examples of the ecumenical movement on the local level." Auxiliary Bishop Raymond P. Hillinger of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago (right) presents the first John F. Kennedy Award to Dr. Blake. Other participants in the dinner included the Rev. Ulysses B. Blakeley, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Chicago, who said grace, and Rabbi Irving J. Rosenbaum of the Chicago Loop Synagogue, who delivered the benediction. Dr. Blake, a leader of the National Council of Churches' anti-discrimination effort and a personal participant in integration demonstrations, called on American religious groups to recognize their responsibility to lead the first fight against racial injustice.
