Sometimes it was the most comfortable place. I never knew that to be a serious factor. The Illinois voting rights case we met in the courtroom because that was the most convenient, but once they were in Chicago we met up in our office. Obviously in Skokie you couldn t do certain things in that formal setting. With St. Cloud you met in the prison.
Prisoners are prisoners.
You can t get away from that. We would work out a time and place mutually. They were busy folks, working folks, so we had to work around their schedules and mine. I ask them where they are comfortable. The meetings we're having in Houston, we met at the police station the first time, but then the community said let's meet at a Hispanic center, so we met there.
