So I called somebody downtown. I didn't tell him who was going to do it, but I told him the plan. There wasn't any bombing. I didn't feel like I was a traitor. I felt that was the best decision.
Race relations are better now.
There will always be some white people who won't want to ever accept a black person as their equal, but others are willing to go along with better relations. Things we never dreamed of accomplishing for years have come about. I was happy about Thurgood Marshall getting on the Supreme Court. I thought I would never see a black man there. What I really was surprised about was Clarence Thomas.
