Mr. Schlussler

I was showing my grades 11&12 class (Cong. B'nai Israel, Rumson, NJ) some clips from the movie "Gentlemen's Agreement" and trying to give some feel for the climate in the late 1940's. Suddenly I recalled something Mr. Schlussel had told our class in the mid-1950's. He said that we owed a great debt to African Americans (then politely called Negroes), because they were the largest and most visible minority and we were next. He believed that a lot of the misfortune that fell on them would otherwise land on us.
I remember Mr. Schlussel as a talented and enthusiastic teacher and a saintly man. I think he taught at Adath Israel for only a short time. Anybody else remember him?
