First sentence: "As A MEMBER of the silent majority," a white father from an affluent suburb of Charlotte, North Carolina, declared in 1970, "I have never asked what anyone in government or this country could do for me, but rather have kept my mouth shut, paid my taxes, and basically asked to be left alone."
