"I'm still trying to think about what the Negroes really want. How can we help them the most? How can we help ourselves? I don't have any answers, but I'm concerned...

Up stepped Mark Roosevelt, 13, great-grandson of President Theodore and a young man who already seems to know his mind. Why, asked Mark, were there no black youngsters in her classes? Mrs. Shippen's reaction was immediate. "She really gave it to me for about five minutes," relates Mark. "She talked about mixed marriages and trash."
