L B J’s /Brotherhood Message
THE WHITE HOUSE
{ Washington
During Brotherhood Week"l967, each American has a
splendid opportiu)jty to display the spirit of unity which
has made this a mighty natiok.
It is a time it* which we Can exhibit to the world our
unrelenting desire to eliminate from our society any vestige
of injustice.
Brotherhood simply means giving to others the rights,
respect and dignity they deserve.
It is a Qpnceptrthat was woven into the very fabric of
our Constitution and Bill of Rights. In recent years, civil
rights legislation has sought even more explicitly to guar
antee equality for 4*JI Americans regardless of race, color or
creed. ’ \
Unfortunately, the gap between principle and practice
still remains. It is oui\ tasfe^-and our responsibility—to make »
certain that the gap is closed.
I call upon each of our citizens to join the National
Conference of Christians and Jews in the observance of
Brotherhood Week and to make real our pledge of “one
nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for
all.”
LYNDON B. JOHNSON
Action and Reaction
GUEST EDIT5rIAL
A rash of “incidents” involving anti-Semitism, which have
recently brought forth impressive headlines in the press, raise
the question of appropriate and effective response.
These include the school board elections in Wayne Town
ship, N.J, in which two Jewish candidates were defeated in
an atmosphere of bitter recrimination; the resignation of a
rabbi from the New York Human Rights Commission because
of his contention that the Negro chairman of the commission
had by-passed complaints of anti-Jewish discrimination in
order to concentrate exclusively on Negro grievances; the
resignation of Jewish members of an anti-poverty committee
in Brooklyn, New York, because of the problems of the Chas-
sidic community had reportedly been overlooked, and the
policies of a Presbyterian-based college in Atlanta, Georgia,
which bars Jews from the faculty.
No single pattern can be discerned in this sudden spate of
episodes—and no single type of Jewish community “response”
is warranted in dealing with them. While no thinking Ameri
can Jew would advocate fearful silence as a proper antidote to
painful incidents, it is equally true that swift and thunderous
pronouncements without regard to the gravity of thee offense
and its possible repercussions will not do.
It seems to us that a great deal of good-will for the Jewish
community exists today in America and we must not jeopar
dize that climate by emotional reactions to minor and isolated
instances of bias. Moreover, even well-defined instances of
bigotry are not always remedied by publicity. Indeed, there
are cases where quiet conferences with influential leaders of
the Christian community may prove to be more effective.
It is an axiom of psychology that to each human situation
there must be a proper and adequate response. It is equally
axiomatic that one must guard against over-responding.
This is not an attempt to advocate resumption of the now-
discredited “hush-hush” path of another day, but merely a plea
for a rational approach.
In recent months much has been written and said about
the spirit of ecumenism in the world, but from what has hap
pened in Wayne Township it is clear that spirit has not taken
roots in the wide Christian community. If there is no ameliora
tion in attitudes, we Jews may be compelled to take a second
look at that panacea.
