What I am trying to say is that you can’t hope to invest a child with a morality in school which is going to be destroyed in the streets of Harlem. Until we can deal with the question of why Negroes are kept in ghettos and why white men move out when Negroes move in; until we can deal with the question of why precisely in a free country we allow the South to dictate to the federal government; until we face our responsibilities as citizens of this country quite apart from the Negro problem, I don’t see that we can begin to talk about the Negro problem with any hope of clarity.
