Community Recognized For Progress In Race Relations
The National Conference of Christians and Jews honors Minneapolis and St Paul for strides against discrimination during Brotherhood week. Local efforts include Councils on Human Relations, NCCJ offices, Minnesota Jewish Council, Urban leagues, and school and business reforms. Efforts led to open membership in clubs, hiring of Negro and Japanese-American teachers, and changes in hiring practices after FEPC hearings.
