Description

Speech reflecting on recent Congressional election defeat -14- opinion leaders of both races may confront each other and begin planning ways of ending present bitterness and strife. It is only in this manner that laws can be successfully implemented, because the conditions for obedience must first be established. These meetings can be disassociated from the political conflict and give non-political leaders a chance to bring enlightened guidance to their communities' problems. Since every community has different issues to resolve, the greatest responsibility will be in the hands of local businessmen, church leaders, educators, industrialists and other opinion leaders. Theirs is the greatest possibility for finding patterns of accommodation that will make the South the pride and joy of all its inhabitants. For in the last analysis, Jeffersonian local self-determination is the only answer to the South's dilemma.
