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.
