We have a black association in our city and a white one:" "There was nervous laughter," reports Karen Hall. "That simply brought the problem truly out into the open. As the other delegates focused on what she was saying, everybody really began to understand." "That made the impact," says Eloise FOlley. "The motion carried unanimously."
