Description
These two letters were sent between Louise Day Hicks and a resident of Dorchester. The latter writes to Hicks to express appreciation for Hick's public acknowledgement of Christian faith. The author goes on to ask Hicks to "extend grace to the Black people of Boston," citing Christ as an example of love and tolerance. Hicks counters by arguing that she considers African Americans to be as much a part of her constituency as whites, and that she has always treated people equally.

Busing for school integration
Hicks, Louise Day, 1916-2003
School integration--Massachusetts--Boston--History
Description
These two letters were sent between Louise Day Hicks and a resident of Wrentham. The latter writes to Hicks to express appreciation for Hick's organization of R.O.A.R. The author acknowledges the many religious leaders who have spoken out against the organization and belittles their authority and position. The author also suggests a political strategy to stifle the religious community's opposition. In her response, Hicks refers to the same group as "religious do-gooders" and indicates that their advocacy might be unlawful given churches' tax-exempt status.
