not so interested in lawyers, john lewis. now, it's important to appreciate the context of lewis' statement. he made it at a time when mainstream's lawyers including thurgood marshall were very negative on the sit-ins, very negative on direct action so the beginning of the student movement, thurgood marshall said to the students that the way to change america was through the courts, not in the streets. he told the students that they were going to get someone killed if they continued with their tactics. he told them that they were invading the property of whites. and in atlanta, a.t. walden agreed with that assessment. so this is the context in which the students pushed back and said, no, anyone can serve. we don't need to be mediated by lawyers and we're going to do our own thing. now, as it turned out, there was a problem. the students' preferred tactic often landed them in jail. and so they realized that they desperately needed representation. they needed lawyers because if nothing else, we know that lawyers can get you rele

the late 1930s was a period when father coughlin and john l. lewiswere ripping up isolationist feelings when tucson, fascism constituted, remember some of you, the wave of the future. two decades of fairness over world war i and its aftermath had left a hard scar issue. roosevelt felt that events and facts themselves would educate the public, so they did, but not quickly enough. he did not lead opinion toward a position about war. he tagged along with opinion. sometimes he lagged behind the drift of opinion, favoring more commitment by the united states to join efforts against aggression. during his second term, roosevelt seem to forget the great lesson of this and not the real speech of 1933. that courageous affirmation in it self changes the political dimensions of the situation. that speech was more than a speech. it was an act that loosened a tidal wave of support by the new administration. the most important instrument a leader has to work with is himself, his own personality, and its impact on other people. when the people people's opinions are
