The tragic thing Is that in situations where people have honest grievances. dishonest tactics can prevent their obtaining redress. and where genuine problems exist. careless or unthinking or consciously mean behavior can unloose forces that will create new problems that might require generations to solve. I want to go forward. not backward. I want the creation of trust. not fear. and I want to see Americans together. not apart. Just a few days ago. in Denver there was a demonstration mounted by a priest and a few others. The priest and eight others pledged that they would fast for 8 days in behalf of legislation to protect migrant farmworkers. About 30 people were on hand to support them. Within 2 hours a convention of militants arrived and took over. they refused to listen to legislators who were working for the legislation they supposedly supported.
