Problems. The idea of a dinner for King came from several white and Negro clergymen and educators and Atlanta Constitution Publisher Ralph McGill. It met with opposition from segregationist bankers, as well as some of Atlanta's top merchants, who feared that their participation in the testimonial might cost them white customers. The Ku Klux Klan inevitably threatened to picket the affair. For a while things got so sticky McGill considered calling the dinner...

...labor over a century ago as a copy of the ornate Doge's Palace in Venice, and tried to register for a room. Out from the white crowd in the lobby edged a onetime Birmingham gas-station operator named James Robinson, 26, a member of the small, arch-segregationist National States Rights Party. While one white woman stood on a chair screaming "Get him, get him, get him!" Robinson landed two punches on King's head, aimed two kicks at his groin. Pulled away from King by city police, Robinson was hustled off, later was fined...

...glad to see it. I'm sorry that someone at the CRIMSON felt he had to label this essay "A Segregationist's Viewpoint," though.

...agree with the viewpoint of John Rorer in his article about the Mississippi Project, but I feel the editors of the CRIMSON might show a little more intelligence if they were to try understanding some of his observations rather than passing the whole article off as "a segregationist's viewpoint," and including that needless disclaimer. It is this very attitude among the liberal northern civil rights workers that is only increasing rather than alleviating the misunderstanding between northerners and southern whites...

...know if Mr. Rorer is a segregationist or not--he does not say he is. But the Harvard civil rights workers might learn from his article of the deep-seated sincerity with which the Southerners have tried to maintain their way of life as well as the honest wishes of the majority of Southerners to work carefully towards improving race relations. In order to overcome this cultural inertia without creating either a bloodbath or a slackening in the progress, the sincere positive intentions of many Southerners should be carefully nurtured, using a little psychology and politeness. The flood of propaganda...
