Two Baptist Leaders Clash Over Race Views in Separate Gatherings
Atlantic City reports show Dr. K Owen White of the Southern Baptist Convention urging desegregation progress while Dr. Ralph D Abernathy of the American Baptist Convention condemns the church for inaction. White said SBC colleges were among first desegregated and that the church is on the march, despite lingering obstacles. Abernathy warned that the church has often been an echo rather than a voice in civil rights, calling Sun 11 o'clock the most segregated hour in America.
