He also discusses his work and career as a Presbyterian Minister at the Cass Community Center, Detroit, Michigan; South Congregational Church, Chicago; and at the University of Chicago. Also recalls work with the National Student Christian Federation and the United Board for College Development. He also mentions pacifist theories, his mother's achievements, student activism, and thoughts and feelings on religion. 4 tapes, 290 mins., 97 pp.
