An article which appeared in the June 7, 1965, edition
of the ''New York Time s" indicated that on that date, a stained glass
window which was a gift from the people of Wales to the Sixteenth
Street Baptist Church, had been dedicated. The stained glass window
according to the article showed an agonized Negro Jesus being pounded
by water from fire hoses with the inscription ‘You do it to me." It
ia also noted that of the six white people who attended the dedication |
ceremony, Mayor Albert Boutwell was present and was asked to stand
80 that everyone could see him.
It is not known if your office is aware of the publicity this
matter has received. If not already done, you should notify the police -_ ;
department and Sheriff's Office and also advise Mayor Boutwell of the “
publicity since he may desire to take extra precaution.
You should be alert through informants and sources for any
information indicating action may be taken to destroy the window or
that further action may be taken against Mayor Boutwell.
