“Change, real change was on the horizon, close enough to ignite hope but far enough away to increase frustration. For all the successes of the 1960's, Negroes were excluded from real equality.” . . . “in many ways the Northern style of discrimination—subtle, unpublicized, and deep-rooted—was even tougher to break.”
