Human rights

Not very long ago many of us, who were aware of racial conflict and the problems of human rights in other countries, would have been very surprised that this kind of seminar was necessary in the United Kingdom. Racial problems did not happen to us but did happen to our sister countries. The kind of problems which we have long looked at dispassionately from afar are now happening to us. Even as little as five years ago when I began certain investigations in schools and discussed immigration with educators and administrators in this country, few would admit that the writing was on the wall and that our long cherished tradition of political, religious, and racial tolerance would be subjected to strain.
