THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Unitarian Universalist Association commends the President of the United States for public statements already made and urges his continued appropriate action to clarify the moral issues and to enlist active public support for their resolution by prompt integration of the public schools at all levels; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That this Assembly call upon the federal courts to implement the Supreme Court decision with speed and firmness.
