Courageous Conversation

“The persistence of racism in depth and the dawning awareness that Negro demands will necessitate structural changes in society have generated a new phase of white resistance in North and South.

Negro demands that yesterday evoked admiration and support, today-to many—have become tiresome, unwarranted and a disturbance to the enjoyment of life.”
