...list of black grievances was submitted to the race-relations officer; they revolved mainly around a few alleged white bigots in command positions, recreational facilities and dress regulations relating to Afros and dashikis. Although many of the complaints were dealt with over the same weekend that the uprising occurred, a muttering mob began to congregate on the athletic field Monday morning. At least 150 black men and women had assembled by the time Colonel McKean arrived with two carloads of brass, as requested by the blacks. It was a doomed colloquy.

For years, Kramer was Hollywood's only liberal "socially-conscious" producer-director (with the occasional exception of New York outsiders like Kazan). He stayed in Hollywood for studio money and soundstages, and his films were among the few made there that dealt, on a large scale, with important contemporary subject matter: racial strife, American "success", the misfit problems of war veterans and motorcycle gangs. To make them, Kramer had to fight--and then compromise. He hoped to film the T.V. play, Judgment at Nuremberg, so he filled his cast with Names...
