Title: Religious support for civil rights bill.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30893 RELIGIOUS SUPPORT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS BILL WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A demand that the U.S. Senate pass the “strongest possible” civil rights bill was made by leading Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish spokesmen as they announced an interreligious convocation in support of the measure would be held in the nation’s capital on April 28. A joint statement calling the convocation and stating that religious groups cannot watch the debate as “uninvolved spectators” was issued by Dr. Eugene Carson Blake (speaking), chief executive officer of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. and head of the National Council of Churches’ Commission on Religion and Race; Father John F. Cronin, S.S. (left), assistant director of the Social Action Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, and Rabbi Uri Miller, president of the Synagogue Council of America.
