The South Goes North is testament to such trauma. From cloistered universities, it is easy to support busing of schoolchildren; Coles has ridden the buses and knows busing is not an unadulterated good. Academic radicals support community organizing; Coles has talked to people in the communities and knows how firmly the existing order of things is ingrained in people and why change is difficult...
