Knew About Castro
"Why, every red-neck in Alabama—and
I'm one—knew that
Castro was a Communist, but
not the smart folks who've got
the planned economy."
"I was a cab driver," he said,
"and that's the kind of place
where you get wisdom and knowledge.
I'm not against intellectuals.
. . .Believe it or not, I
went to college. . . .I'm against
incompetent intellectuals."
"Wisdom comes from understanding
of people and events.
The breakdown in race relations
comes because of hypocrisy.
The answer to race problems is
honesty, good faith, and candor."
He pointed out that his administration
in Alabama built 30
trade schools and junior colleges
and established a bus system
which anyone can use to
attend them. Alabama was, he
said, second in the nation in
percentage increase in college
students."
"The state wants to control
education. . . .If the people aren't
given a choice in '68, we're going
to come back here and stir
something up."
