...many needed hair-cuts and shaves. The cause for such appearances was due to the fact that a majority of these workers were living with Negro families who lacked proper plumbing facilities and hot water. The pride that was supposed to have been created in the Negroes by the outward appearance of the workers was created by their inner devotion to this cause. This devotion prevailing even though the workers had the continual prospect of losing their lives, which was so horrendously illustrated by the lynching of the three COFO workers...
...explains that "The outward and visible sign of this morality in the case of painting is the subject matter as demonstrated upon canvas."

...Indian Ocean port of Lourenço Marques (where he reviewed 5,000 troops and 200 Alsatian, Doberman, boxer and Labrador guard dogs) to the villages of the Limpopo River Valley, the sprightly, 69-year-old President met with rousing receptions and blizzards of confetti. But for all the outward signs of welcome, Tomás was taking no chances. "One bullet for the President now will be worth 25,000 later." was the terrorist slogan, and Tomas was accompanied everywhere by 58 security cops armed with machine pistols. Last week, as the President cruised along the reed-grown shores...
