Racial hatred and the spreading of prejudice propaganda in the United States were denounced by some of the foremost American historians and other educators at a meeting called here for the purpose of conferring on the teaching of history with a view to international understanding.
The Council of Jewish Women, the Baptist Publication Society, the Young Men’s Hebrew Association, the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Friends’ (Quakers) Peace Committee, and other prominent organizations recently organized a Peace Council, and it is under the auspices of this organization that the conference on history is being held. A speaker at one of the sessions was Dr. Solomon Solis-Cohen.
“Anti-Red propagandists and members of the Ku Klux Klan represent the type that does not recognize facts, but prefers to believe in bunk,” said Dr. J. Montgomery Gambrill, professor of history in Teachers’ College, Columbia University.
