Item description from seller

Paperback. Stained card covers. "Robert Burns Eleazer (1877-1973), a liberal white Methodist from Tennessee.developed a strategy for improving race relations which entailed offering prizes to young people in the southern states for essays on racial minorities in American life and culture. Eleazer's role .meant constant communication with regional and national journals about lynching and its prevention, poverty, migration, policing, and justice in the courts. He also attempted to radically alter the social studies and civics curriculum in southern education." (from article by Mark Ellis, Educational History Journal, v47 n2 p143-159 -- 2020) "In the case of certain racial minorities.there has been left an unwholesome residue of misunderstanding and mistrust -- a statte of mind which we commonly know as race prejudice. As a result these minorities have sometimes suffered conditions of neglect, injustice and hostility which challenge our democracy, our material welfare, our happiness, and above all, our religion." Quite uncommon (none currently on online market) written by one courageous clergyman who genuinely sought to address the roots of racial prejudice. Some chapter titles: Christian and Jew; White Man and Red; Orientals in American Life; Two Million Mexican Americans; African Background and Culture; The Negro in American History; The Pageant of a Climbing Race; The Gifts of Black Folk.
