This cartoon refers to the Ministers' Manifesto, a statement issued by the Atlanta (Georgia) Christian Council in 1957 to urge the peaceful integration of public schools. A second manifesto, encouraging racial moderation, was issued in the wake of the Temple bombing in 1958. The cartoon, published in 1960, appeared in the Atlanta Constitution.
