7 “os fe RE: COUNTERORIENTArION WEEK Question: The question is in the middle class, why in the middle class, or do you have to find somebody in the lower class {rest unintelligible). Question: That is the biggest single problem as far as I'm concerned that we have. Because the people on the street are harder to reach in the South for the simple reason that first the people on the street are fewer in number and second that they're in smaller areas. Like in Chicago it’s pretty easy to find the street people (unintelligible), the city crossroads where maybe 7, or 8, 9, 10, 15 million people in that area, yOu can find the street people. But like in the South, in the city I come from, 135,000 people, the poor are hard to find. Most of these people are (rest unin- telligible.) RRR a cue dae . at BILL FESPERMAN: Well look here at Atlanta, Georgia a (unintelligible) city in Atlanta, Georgia, Oregon Hill in Richmond. I bet if you checked out Knoxville, Tennessee, Charlotte, North Carolina, Nashville, Chattanooga, anywhere. See, I'm saying this is objective fact, man, that the people are there. And they have been ignored. There's been nobody there to love the people. There's only been somebody there to hate the people. You know, you hate values, or you hate people's life style, gee, and yOu try to pull away from that. You know how many people in here are southerners, but I've seen this happen so many times, man, Southern people are the thing, see, that's sinilar to blacks. They try to pull out of that, you know, they don't want to be Southern. They don't want to talk like a Southerner. They don't want to act like a Southerner. They don't want to’ be called a hillbilly. They want to be on equal level. There is an imaginiry great urban world outside of the South, see. And I say that's dangerous. I say that makes you sick, and if you. ever ready WILLIAM STYRONS (pnonetic) book about NAT TURNER, you see how sick it makes you. You see how sick it makes you, for it leads you to do the thinking like Cash done, he wrote the Mind of the South. He couldn't stand it man, he had to blow up, he had to rip his neck off on a rope. Check that out, and that happens over and over again. 80 « rs bes a fe tia hae saath VP ARP ol Oe Pe RE . » oe ; caeee 43 gee beet ei od . . ous eo grantee “ ; . b hed ade.” 28. . pee. te i sata es fi f reed) a! ag . = by mA 5 ’ <b 4 . x st .
