Description
An account of the resource
Pages 7-8 (front and back) removed from <em>Federal Council Bulletin</em>, September-October, 1926. The article, "Church Women Explore Interracial Paths," details an interracial conference held on September 21-22, 1926 at Eagles Mere, Pa.<br /><br />The conference was organized by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churchs, the Council of Women for Home Missions, and the National Board of the Y.W.C.A. It was attended by delegates from numerous denominations and organizations. Adele Clark of Richmond, Va. attended representing the National League of Women Voters. <br /><br />The object of the conference, according to the chair Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook (Mary L. Westbrook), was<br /><br />"(1) To enlarge the scope of interracial thinking and to enlist the women of the churches more actively in plans and programs for improving the relations between the white and colored groups in America; <br />(2) To discuss methods of better interracial organization through churches and their auxiliaries so that women may more effectively act on local interracial conditions; <br />(3) To exchange concrete experiences from groups of women that have already attempted to carry out interracial programs;<br />(4) To study the past experience of organizations that have done such work, to learn both from the sucesses and failures of such efforts how best to proceed in the future;<br />(5) To understand better the present trend of feeling and opinion in race relations that the Churches may more effectively work for interracial goodwill and cooperation."<br /> <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Interracial+Conference+of+Church+Women" target="_blank" title="Documents related to the Interracial Conference of Church Women" rel="noreferrer noopener">See all documents</a> related to the conference.

Letter to Adele Clark from Mary L. Westbrook, Federal Council of Churches, April 23, 1928
Description
An account of the resource
Letter from Mary L. Westbrook (Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook), Chairman, Church Women's Committee on Race Relations, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Inc. (Federal Council of Churches), sent to Adele Goodman Clark in her capacity as a representative of the National League of Women Voters at the 1926 Interracial Conference of Church Women. <br /><br />The letter describes a second conference planned for September 1928, and requests Clark begin planning to send delegates from the NLWV. <br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />"The past year and a half has disclosed problems which cause us to believe that there is need for the leaders of church women's organizations throughout the Nation to meet in conference again to discuss these problems, and to devise further plans and means of carrying forward the effective work begun so auspiciously following the epoch-making Interracial Conference of Church Women at Eagles Mere, Pa., Spetember 21-22, 1926, held by this Commission in cooperatin with the Council of Women for Home Missions and the National Board of the YWCA. <br /><br />This conference requested the Commission to form a Church Women's Committee on Race Relations, and this Committee, including representatives of practically every religious organization affiliated with the Federal Council of Churches, has been actively promoting parts of the program adopted at the Eagles Mere Conference. Correspondence with church women's groups in all parts of the Country has disclosed an unusual activity in race relations among them with a growing consciousness about the need of religion applied to the race problem. In many sections local committees were already in existence or have been formed; regional conferences in the Philadelphia and Chicago areas have been held with fruitful results."<br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Interracial+Conference+of+Church+Women" target="_blank" title="Documents related to the conference" rel="noreferrer noopener">See all documents</a> related to the Interracial Conference of Church Women.

Description
An account of the resource
A news digest published by the Department of Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, New York, NY. <br /><br />The Federal Council of Churches was an ecumenical association of Protestant denominations in the United States founded in Philadelphia in 1908. It merged with other ecumenical bodies in 1950 to form the present day National Council of Churches. <br /><br />Masthead: "Gleanings from press releases and other sources to inform busy but sincere people of some of the things affecting the lives of racial minorities. Let's do away with walls ! 'We are all one in Christ Jesus.'<br />The Material in the News Service is given for information and is not to be construed as declarations of official attitudes or policies of the Department of Race Relations or the Federal Council of Churches." <br /><br />This issue takes a look back at 1939, noting important stories and trends. Topics include lynchings, jobs and organized labor, peonage, housing, civil rights, health, law, spots, arts, religion, literature, World War 2, and science.<br /><br />Selected notices:<br />p. 1 "The Department of Records of Tuskegee Institute lists only three lynchings for the year 1939, a sharp decrease from former years. In eighteen instances law enforcement officers were credited with preventing lynchings, saving twenty-five persons from 'the hands of mobs,'" <br /><br />p. 2 "The right to vote has been sought with new vigor by Negroes in Southern states. The Klan was revived in an effort to terrify Negroes and keep them from registering in Florida and South Carolina...." <br /><br />"The refusal of library service was dramatized in Alexandria, Va., where the public librarian called the police to remove five colored youths who sought service in this public institution. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Director of Negro Affairs for the NYA reported at a meeting of the Southern Education Foundation that only 14 per cent of 509 public libraries in 13 Southern stataes provided service for Negroes."<br /><br />"Health facilities for Negroes are notably lacking. A study in Mississippi made by the American Medical Association showed that there was only one Negro physician for each 14,221 colored persons and only 731 beds in general hospitals for the entire Negro population of more than a million in the state. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the deaths from tuberculosis are Negroes but only 40 beds are available for their care. This represents the worst type of situation." <br /><br />p. 3 "Joe Louis world's heavyweight champion, defended his title four times in 1939." <br /><br />"Marian Anderson, internationally known contralto, soared to new heights when she sang to 75,000 and a nationwide radio audience from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, after exclusion by the D. A. R. from using Constitution Hall." <br /><br />"The threatened growth of anti-Semitism has intensified the study of race relations and many church groups have broadened their consideration of race to include this problem." <br /><br />"The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues issued a statement declaring that experiments showed no characteristic inherent psychological differences to distinguish so-called 'races.'" <br /><br />"From the American Jewish Committee, New York...<br />Stimulated by the meeting between representatives of the Jewish press and Negro organizations held at the end of September, the Jewish press in the United States has undertaken a systemic campaign to improve relations between Negroes and Jews."

Also of significance, delegates to the conference represented both the North and the South, giving the discussions a nationwide scope (<em>Federal Council Bulletin</em>, September-October, 1926, p.7).<br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Interracial+Conference+of+Church+Women" target="_blank" title="documents related to Interracial Conference of Church Women" rel="noreferrer noopener">See all documents</a> related to this conference.
