Description

Two Parkville women who realize, that while Civil Rights may be legislated, brotherly love cannot, invited a colored family to their home Sunday to talk over the problems and solutions in the light of Christian love, rather than hate and bitterness. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Hughes Shanks and children. Mrs. Shanks is a leader in the Corps in Kansas City. She spoke Sunday morning at the Unitarian Church where Dr. Bragg is pastor.
