IO a jace relations Sunday
messag9 designed to be read
from the nation's pulpits Feb.

can churches declared that
Christian? "miftt not rest until
segregation j banished from
every area of American life."
"The task of conquering seg
regation is an inescapable must
confronting the Christian
churches," said the message
drafted by Dr. Martin Luther
King, a leader of the Mont
gomery, Ala., bus boycott.
"Much progress has been made
toward the goal of a non-segregated
society but we are still
far from the promised land."
The suggested program of
action, drawn up by the coun
cil's Department of Racial and
Cultural Relations suggested that
churches secure facts, discuss
and formulate concrete propos
als for constructive action on
public school integration, sup
port legislation designed to guar
antee full opportunity for all,
and protest legislation aimed at
maintaining racial discrimina
tion. Other suggestions were to
build up -public opinion in favor
of desegregating . public trans

employers' groups, professional
organizations and unions to se
cure equal opportunities for all
workers, and work to develop
"open occupancy housing.
