 and play pool, are there other little things I would do? I probably would not join
 the Lily Whites, is that correct?

L: You might not.

P: Are there other things I would avoid doing?

L: You might, if you were of my attitude in this position, you would not go to
 segregated theater, you would not ride the bus. Personally, I preferred walking to
 riding the bus.

P: Not going to a segregated theater and not riding a bus, is that decision driven by
 class?

L: I suppose it is not necessarily by class, but I felt that I was too good for that. I did
 not have to contribute to continuing segregation. That was individual.

P: That is not really class. I am trying to focus a little bit more on class?

L: What are some of the other things I would not do? I cannot think of some of the
 other things I might not do.

P: You are a little different in that, not only are you a civil rights activist, you are also
 a minister.

L: Those have some bearing on where I would go.

P: Absolutely.

L: Certainly, public dances and things of that nature, I would not be going.

P: Were these public dances, like for example, when the Kappas had a dance,
 when these fraternities had a dance for adults.

L: Invitational.

P: Invitational dances. A couple of questions about that. The kind of dances they
 did, the steps they did, the foxtrot or whatever it may be, would they be different
 than the dances of people at the Rabbit Foot or other clubs that had dances?

L: Yes, I suppose so. They had what people would refer to as suggestive dances
 and so forth.

P: I am sorry?


L: Dances that are sexually suggestive.
