During the summer of 19 64, unita blackwell's home became a focal point for civil rights activity. The very reason we were there as white college students was that unless the country's attention was focused on those people who this country was not accustomed to caring about, namely black mississippians, then nothing would happen. And i think that what embarrasses me is the extent to which i was capable of forgetting or underestimating that. You would look out there, an highway patrol would be sitting at o white and police would be right here. It's not that i didn't know it, it's that ididn't feel it.
