Excerpt
Some forty-five professional church workers visited Holy Family Lutheran Church (ALC) last summer to hear Pastor Fred Downing speak of his ministry there. Describing his heavily populated north side Chicago neighborhood, he told of the tensions that might rupture into riot at any moment. He alluded to manifest resentment and hostility by black towards white. He spoke of increased evidence of "soul brother" signs in the windows of small Negro-owned businesses.
