The assault had been well aimed and well timed to maximize casualties; salvo after salvo of rockets, fired at tenor 15-minute intervals, fell on the two communities at an hour when many of their residents were homeward bound from work and thus unprotected...

In those days, before Vietnam became Vietnam and denied him the greatness he wanted so badly, he seemed to sense the depth and tenor of Negro despair. Firmly rooted in Southern soil, himself, he knew of the virtual disenfranchisment of Southern Negroes. It tormented him but also drove him on.
