Description
Written in the aftermath of a period of nationally prominent civil rights protesting and race-related rioting in Birmingham.
It observes that one of the problems of race relations is "the tendency to think in terms of ultimates or extremes." It then directs questions to both the "ardent segregationist" and the integrationist "agitator." While it argues that change is inevitable, it rejects the speed of change and warns that agitation brings negative consequences.
