Who originally said, "The most segregated hour . . ."
score:11
According to the April 1955 article Till Victory is Won in Crisis, Fred Stripp said this in October 1954:
Not while the hour of eleven o'clock on Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour in American life.
Particularly, at the NAACP regional conference held in Asilomar, California, October 15-17, 1954.
However, the 20 February 1954 Pittsburgh Courier credits Benjamin Mays as saying, in effect:
the most segregated hour In America begins at 11 o'clock every Sunday morning
An 18 October 1953 St. Louis Post Dispatch article says:
The observation that "eleven o'clock Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of American life" originated, I have heard, with Mrs. Charles Johnson, wife of the president of Fisk University.
The Congressional Record 3 August 1953 reproduces an 11 May 1953 Time magazine article "The United States Negro" which also credits Marie Johnson, Charles Johnson's wife, quoting her as saying :
Still , 11 o'clock Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of American life
24 April 1953 Daily News (Huntingdon, Pennsylvania) as well as the Republican and Herald (Pottsville, Pennsylvania) say:
Dr. Kenneth Miller, executive secretary of the New York City Mission Society says..."What we have to do is practice brotherhood every day and stop having the 11 o'clock hour on Sunday the most segregated hour of the week"
So overall, Kenneth Dexter Miller, president of the New York City Mission Society, was the first to say "...most segregated hour..."
Upvote:3
This is the first documented reference I can find: Dr. Helen Kenyon, former Moderator of the Congregation-Christian Churches, who called 11 o’clock Sunday morning the “most segregated time in America." 14 November 1952, The Plaindealer (Kansas City, KS), pg. 5, col. 4: “Sunday 11 A.M. Is Most Segregated Hour.”
