I Didn't Break The Rules,

I Think The Reasons For Not Selecting Persons Like The Reverend Borders And John Wesley Dobbs Were, In My Book Rather Obvious Reasons: Because They Were People Who Were Basically Oriented In The Direction Of The Established Method Of Not Confronting The Power Structure, But Trying To Elicit Concessions By Various And Sundry Means Of, Well, Let's Call It Accommodating Leadership.

I Believe, The [gunnar] Myrdal Study Had Been Made, And If We Hadn't Had Anything Else To Raise Questions, This In Itself Would Have Been Something To Provoke Thought In The Direction Of The Value Of Accommodating Leadership.

I Don't Think That The Leadership Of Montgomery Was Prepared To Capitalize, Let's Put It, On The Projection That Had Come Out Of The Montgomery Situation. Certainly, They Had Not Reached The Point Of Developing An Organizational Format For The Expansion Of It. So Discussions Emanated, To A Large Extent, From Up This Way.

I Think That Walter's [white] Whole Career Is Indicative Of A Large Degree Of Egocentricity. Perhaps To Be Generous, You Would Have To Say That He Was A Product Of His Period, Which Was That Of Self-projection In The Name Of Organizational Interest.

I've Never Credited Myself With A Professional Life. But, Basically, It Has Been That.
