Jewish Aid to Civil Rights
Lauded Before NAACP
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Jewish
organizations were lauded by Roy
Wilkins, executive secretary of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, for
their work toward passage of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Wilkins said in an address be-
fore the 55th annual NAACP con-
vention that "many hands and
minds and hearts brought victory."
He singled out Jewish organiza-
tions, working under the banner
of the leadership conference on
civil rights, for special credit along
with national Negro, labor, church,
fraternal, and women's organiza-
tions.
His speech generally stressed the
cooperation of many American ele-
ments to advance the civil rights of
Negroes.

prayers at a motel involved in a

cession upon hearing of the mass
arrest of the rabbis.)

Negro desegregation leader, led
the delegation in prayer. The
rabbis arrived here to join the
Rev. Martin Luther King's de-
segregation drive. They came
from the convention in Atlantic
City of the Central Conference

Brock. shoved the rabbis and
abused them physically. stating
"you are not going to pray here.

hustled them into police cars with
the help of police who arrested
the rabbis.
Four police squad cars filled
with rabbis were driven to jail.
With the first arrests the rabbis
began reciting a Psalm, "Yea
though I walk the valley of the
shadow of death .. • "
