That too was regarded by traditionalists as a threat. There was talk that white youths might invade the township and attack the visitors. Smith regarded the possibility calmly. "Some people say they may beat us up. Maybe, for the sake of justice, whites must experience what it means to be beaten up." The sense of sin to be expiated is never far from Smith's mind. "When I walk around the township," he says...
