A. Well, one—if the forces of good will were as strong as they should be and conscientious and vocal, you wouldn’t have as much racial tension in these situations. If in Little Rock the forces of good will were as strong as the forces of ill will, this would not have happened. I don’t think the majority of the people completely felt that this should happen. The second thing is this. I cannot conceive of a period of social transition without some tension. This is inevitable. What Whenever you are moving from an olde order to a new order, in the transition period, there is some tension. We seek to lessen the tension as much as possible but we don’t seek to due process in order to avoid tension. We have a choice in America to move toward the goal of justice in spite of the tension it will create or stop the process in an attempt to avoid tension while in reality we are tearing away the very core of our nation. This is the choice. The one we should choose? Allow the inevitable tension to arise. There can be no birth or growth without birth and growing pains. Whenever you confront the new, there is the recalcitrent of the old, a response that shall develop. In any community where integration occurs, you are going to have this. If there wasn't riots, it would not be integrated in Mont, Ala if we had taken this attitude, We would were determined to ride those buses on an integrated basis. Now it has worked out. Tension isn’t the permanent condition of things. We have got to press on and realize that this tension is not a necessary phase of the transition and when this transition is fulfilled, it will lead us to a greater democracy and a greater nation.
