Question: I understand that some people have begun going back into certain stores that refused to desegregate their facilities. Also, I don't see pickets downtown as often anymore. Does this mean that the boycott is over?
Answer: THE BOYCOTT IS STILL ON! The students have been busy preparing for exams the past week or so. We have been assured further by leading ministers and other adults that the determination of Atlanta's Negro citizens has not faltered; thousands of Negroes everywhere now wish to be treated as free human beings whose dignity should and must be respected.
