...Irish Catholic for President, and added: "There is no question about it. In the next 40 years a Negro can achieve the same position that my brother has." And at Columbia, S.C., Howard University President James Madison Nabrit Jr. told the graduating class of Negro Benedict College: "Swifter than you can imagine, you will have all the rights and privileges of every other citizen in the U.S." That time cannot come too swiftly for young Negroes of 1961-and the John Pattersons of the South can do little to stop them...
