Brotherhood: A Plea For Tolerance
Brotherhood: A Plea For Tolerance. Ed Sullivan delivers a plea for tolerance as National Brotherhood Week begins. "Hello, this is Ed Sullivan. Today we've been called upon by President Eisenhower, the honorary Chairman of the Brotherhood Campaign of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, to search our hearts and souls and cleanse them of unnatural hate and fear of our neighbors. The President points this out: The fight for freedom today is a fight for the ideal of brotherhood. Bigotry and intolerance, racial or religious hate and discrimination, are spiritual acts of treason. Brotherhood means a united America, and a united America is perhaps the sole remaining hope for our shattered world... So we call upon all of you who cherish American ideals and traditions to join in this great crusade for brotherhood."
