where invisible racial walls keep children and youth and adults apart? Tension, fear and hate are likely to plague personal lives in communities for generations unless we equalize conditions and plan for the transformation of urban life so that the great metropolitan complexes are more truly democratic places of human habitation. Finally, this is a difficult age, made so by the revolution of science, technology, and industrialism, and the revolution of the colored world for freedom and status, peace and plenty. Insecurity and conflict throughout the world have made it an age of anxieties. Yet for each of us there are compensations. This is an exciting time, a time of changes and new possibilities. If there is insecurity, anxiety, and fear, there is also a tremendous sense of possibilities beyond what men dared to hope for in the past. This Conference to "Fulfill These Rights" will broaden the horizon for the Negro and white American, and the entire world of color now in the revolutionary flames of discontent. All honor to the President for his imagination and sense of innovation which made this conference possible. He will be remembered in history as the President of Human Rights, Education, and Anti-Poverty. And the civil rights revolution gave him inspiration and motivation. 21
