Pastor Here Sails Into Rights Bill
Rev. Rutledge E. Courtney assailed civil rights legislation as unconstitutional and warned of a dictatorship by the President Justice Department and Supreme Court. Speaking to Rotarians at Glen Arven Country Club he urged segregation saying people fare better among their own race and criticized Kennedy era promises as empty. He urged good will and warned against believing conditions are improving as he defended segregation and questioned civil rights aims. The remarks targeted NAACP CORE and political leaders and urged self segregated harmony rather than new laws.
