A. You don’t have a solid south regionaly. You have three souths. The South of compliance—Oklahoma, Kansas, Missori Missouri, West Virginia. The wait-and-see-South—N.C., Tenn., Texas, Fla., Ark. Then the recalcitrant, hard-core, resistant South—Alabama, Mississipi, Georgia. There are several souths in terms of attitudes. You have the white south that says we will do anything to maintain segregation including physical violence. They are in the minority. You have another group that will say I don’t believe that integration is morally sound but it is the law and we will follow it because of the law. This is the adjusted group in the south. Another group, small but growing, is made up of persons working toward integration. They believe this is morally and constitutionally sound. And there are many others—not just one.
