Description:
[Chicago: National Baptist Convention, 1960]. First Edition. Staple-bound pamphlet. Printed card wrappers; 36pp; portrait frontispiece. A fresh, clean copy, Near Fine. Includes a lengthy address on the subject of civil rights and the passage of the 1960 Civil Rights Act; Jackson singles out the NAACP as "the official representative in our struggle for freedom," pointedly making no mention of Martin Luther King or the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Jackson served as President of the NBC for 29 years (1954-1983), and over time became controversial for his tepid support of Martin Luther King and others at the vanguard of the American civil rights movement. His conservative approach to civil rights issues eventually led to a violent rift with King's supporters, who resigned from the NBC to form their own denomination, the Progressive National Baptist Convention, in 1961.
