...here." The most striking aspect of the Selma spirit is the consensus, expressed by Episcopal Rector Stephen Pressey of Shelby, Ohio, that "ministers are missing the boat if all they do is agitate." Instead of dreaming about bigger and better marches, church leaders appear to have returned with renewed zeal to tackle the major problems of the Negro in the North-education, housing and job opportunity.
