Invitation to Revolt. For black G.I.s coming home can be hell. San Francisco's Carl Witherspoon, 21, was a track star and scholastic achiever before he joined the Marines. In Viet Nam he collected a Bronze Star and two bullets in the gut. After nine months in hospitals, Witherspoon mustered out and began looking for a job and a home for himself and his pretty wife Paulette.
