Williams, Portland, Oregon JFK's Message On March On Washin!rton Here are excerpts from a message delivered by'President Kennedy in connection with the March on Washington, August 28, 1963. "We have witnP.ssed tod<>v in Washington tens of thousands of Americans-both Negro and white-exercis– ing their right to assemble peaceably and direct the wid– est possible attention to a great national issue. Efforts to secure equal treatment and equal opportunity for all with– out regard to race, color, creed or nationality are neither novel nor difficult to understand. What is different today is the intensified and widespread public awareness of the need to mov.e forward in achieving these objectives which are older than this nation. "Although this summer has seen remarkable progress in translating civil rights from principles into practices, we have a very long way yet to travel. One cannot help but be impressed with the deep fervor and the quiet dignity that characterizes the thousands who have gathered in the nation's capital from across the country to demonstrate their faith and confidence in our Democratic form of gov– ernment. The leaders of the organizations sponsoring the March and all who have participated in it deserve appreci– ation for the detailed preparations that made it possible and for the orderly manner in which it has been conducted. "The executive branch of the Federal Government will continue its efforts to obtain increased employment prac– tices ... In addition, our efforts to secure enactment of the legislative proposals made to the Congress will be maintained, including not only the civil rights bill, but also proposaJs to broaden and strengthen the manpower development and training program, the Youth Employ– ment Bill, amendments to the Vocational Education Pro– gram the establishment of a work-study program for high 'school age youth, strengthening of the adult basic education provisions in the Administration's education program and the amendments proposed to the public wel– fare work, relief and tax training prog·ram."

And I men– tion sex because it was not too long ago that women had a march on Washington, D. C., asldng for equal rights. You see, women were con– sidered to be mentally in– ferior to men. Yet, today we know women are intel– lectually the equal of men, and for every superior in– tellectual man we can find a woman With a superior intellect. When we think about this whole question of race re– lations and the dilemma 1D which we find ourselves, don't you agree that it can generally be boiled down to the idea that we have been conditioned that to be white is to be superior and to be dark is to be inferior. If we have been conditioned to this feeling, then we can be Wlconditioned. It is not difficult for us to be against the disgraceful acts of violence committed by outright bigots in the South, but what about the more subtle forms of dis– crimination that we find much closer to ·home? I mean Oregon, and I mean right here in Portland. I am sure that you are all familiar With the present housing law which forbids discrimination because of race, religion, color or na– tional origin by those in the business of leasing, renting or selling real property. You may not be as familiar With a new amendment to that law passea in the 1963 legisla– ture and which went into ef– feet just the other day.
