...wearing the standard-issue Civil Rights Worker uniform (blue jeans, t-shirt) and have "hippie communist" hair (i.e., long enough so the scalp doesn't show). When one of these creatures appears in town, locals gather quickly. If he speaks in strange and foreign tongues, he becomes the target of a public drive to oust him. And if he commits the ultimate heresy of talking to or LIVIN' WITH NIGGERS, he is in for trouble...
...jobs within three years, with remedial training where necessary. That may be an impossible goal, but it would get at the largest single source of criminal raw material-the out-of-school, out-of-work kids. Prekindergarten, primary and secondary education in the slums is another vast target, but it is universally acknowledged that public education does not do much for ghetto children.

It's possible to make a good case for Southwest Georgia as the most segregated area in the country, but Georgia also contains semi-progressive Atlanta and black legislators like Julian Bond. South Carolina has Storm Thurmond, Louisiana has Leander Perez, and Arkansas and Tennessee have their residual rednecks. But for over-all misery--that...
