Cleric - Rev. Dr. Lowell F. Ensor, pastor of the Methodist Church at Westminster - Urges Repeal of Jim Crow Law

Democratic Advocate, March 23, 1945.

Following taken from Baltimore Sun March 18: Rev. Dr. Lowell F. Ensor, pastor of the Methodist Church at Westminster, yesterday urged support of the repeal of the Jim Crow law in Maryland.

He declared a state that will send citizens to the fighting fronts of the world and at the same time deny to any group of those citizens equal rights, is un-American and un-Christian.

Reference to this law was make in his sermon, in which he also urged opposition to a Senate bill now in the Legislature that would permit sale of alcoholic beverages in Carroll county hotels, and a House bill that would allow pari-mutuel betting on horse racing at Baltimore county and Carroll county fair grounds.
