Studies, Civics, U.S. Hist., Clubs. • No more serious menace threatens American democracy than that of interracial and inter-religious ha- treds. Despite the fact that America was first settled by groups of sup- pressed European minorities, and despite the declared rights of Ameri- cans to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," there are those who deny these rights to some of their fellowmen. This film offers a grip- ping and objective presentation of an issue which concerns every Amer- ican. The film further shows how a forward-looking city like Springfield, Mass., offers an inspiring plan to other communities for combatting prejudices—shows how your school and your town can deal with the causes of this injustice.

Sr HS, Col, Adult; U.S. Hist., Clubs. • An effective means of making spe- cific and concrete a set of character- istics by which one can identify the presence or absence of a democratic lorm. The film identifies democracy by its signs — shared respect and shared power.
