Clippings: Racism, 1960-1964

 File — Box: 2, Folder: 4

Scope and Content

Race relations and school integration proved to be among the most contentious issues facing the Roman Catholic church in the 1960s; whereas church leaders avoided the topics to prevent involving the church in political issues, many parishioners and clergymen felt that the church should be more proactive in the fight against prejudice and racial injustice. Ultimately, this issue led to the conflict that arose between DuBay and his superior, Cardinal McIntyre. Included in the file are newspaper articles and editorials that document this conflict and discuss race relations as they pertain to the Roman Catholic church.
