In her hand she held a shoes, one shoe, from the fMt of her dead child. We hold that shoe with her. Every one of us in the white South holds that small Aoe in his hand. It is too late to blame the sick criminals who handled the dynamite. The FBI and police can deal with that kind. The charge against them is-alm- ple.

We—who stand aside In Imagined rectitude and let thf mad logs Uiat run in every so-' ciety slide their leashea from our hand, and spring. We—the heirs df a proud South, who protest its worth and demand its recognition— we are the ones who have duck ed the difficut, skirted the un comfortable, caviled at tlie challenge, resented the neoea- sary, rationalized the unlMcept- able, and created the day sure ly when these children would die.
