Abstract
The breaking of the rule of the color line poses both moral and religious problems for the American people. It poses moral problems because the color line violates both the well-being of individuals and the well-being of the community as such. It stands in direct opposition to the democratic order of community. It poses religious problems because it violates the transcendent dignity of human being as such, individual human beings and covenants of being human. It stands in direct opposition to the democratic faith.
