Abstract | Presented are background information, discussion group reports, and addresses from a citizenship conference held in Washington, D.C. in May 1948. Sponsored by the Citizenship Committee of the National Education Association and the United States Department of Justice, the conference centered on the theme, "Citizenship: Rights and Responsibilities." Speeches and discussion are presented on three major topics: the world-minded American citizen, basic human rights and attendant responsibilities, and citizenship in action in the local community. Speakers included educators, college presidents, government officials, politicians, members of the clergy, foundation and non-profit organization representatives, congressmen, and media representatives. Summaries of discussion on the major topics revealed group concensus on issues including that Americans should become world-minded citizens, find ways of achieving jointly held values democratically, support agencies working toward mass communication, set standards and patterns of action to assure human rights, support equality of opportunity, realize that all communities are interdependent, and fulfill citizenship duties on local, state, and national levels.
