Excerpt from We DissentThese Southerners also speak at times about the rest of the nation. To us who have moved North, it often seems that we are now surrounded by a near vacuum occupied only by talk without action. This empty talk issues from self-styled liber als willing to die vicariously for the Negro in the South but unmoved to busy themselves on behalf of the Negro in the North. It is easy, and tempting, to be virtuous if your virtue is never tested. It is a challenge of a man's fiber and guts if in being brotherly, and courageous, he risks economic, social or political disadvantage, if not destruction. I admire the writers here who still live in the South and are yet willing to voice their most personal concern over what 15 happening in and to the South. Those of us who have moved away know the dec1s1ons they have had to make, and the integrity with which they confront man as he is and as he ought to be.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
