Dear Miss Stephens:
I note in the bulletin published by Core that you are in jail for your protest against discrimination in eating places. I wish to tell you that many of us are hearty supporters of your vision and courage and discipline in taking a stand in a non-violent spirit against the undemocratic, unchristian conditions of segregation.
I am sure that what you are doing, and what you have suffered will go around the world as encouragement to people who are facing conditions of exploitation and discrimination.
Our prayers are with you.
Sincerely yours,
[Signature] George L. Collins
Minister to Students
