Dear Mr. President:
The "Little Rock" crisis has made me realize how much support you
need from just ordinary citizens. This letter is just to let you know all
decent Americans are behind you 100%. Please don't back down now. The
ignorant, narrow-minded white citizens of Little Rock and their immature actions
make me ashamed to admit I have many fine southern relatives and friends.
Let them keep their precious white children out of school for as long
as they want to. Their children will be the only sufferers. I wonder if anyone
has ever told them that all colors and nationalities will be "going to school"
together in Heaven.
May God bless you in all your trials and tribulations.
Respectfully,
Helen m. aminting
