...Building last week, even Southern members seemed discomfited by the reach and callousness of Alabama's discrimination. Said Commissioner John S. Battle, onetime (1950-54) Governor of Virginia and a leading advocate of segregation in public schools: "I fear the officials of Alabama and certain counties made an error in doing that which appears to be an attempt to cover up their actions . . .

I wanted to show life as it is, in all its wealth...
