Excerpt
An uneasy feeling - often one of anxiety - comes over the person who reads or listens to a news report of another "demonstration." For many a person, any thought of changing life as we have it now is a disturbing thing. For others, fears of lower property values, loss of business, interracial marriage and a dozen other fears assume overwhelming proportions. The very thought of violence - of stones, and cursings, and fists, and shattered glass and rifle blasts - can make one feel sick inside. For some the thought of the inside of a jail, indignities, and police brutalities evokes memories that like tender sores refuse to heal and be covered. There occurs to others the possibility of separation - even of death: These are the reasons different people react in different ways to word about demonstrations. This is why it is hard to be undisturbed and indifferent.
