Honest communication is built on truth and integrity and upon respect of the one for the other.

If what is communicated is false, it can hardly be called communication.

Many well-meaning intelligent people have argued since the May 17, 1954, decision of the United States Supreme Court outlawing segregation in the public schools that communication between the races has broken down.

Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.

Good friends of integrity are honor, truth, reliability, wholesomeness and honesty.

For nearly a century, the South made itself believe that Negroes and white people were really communicating. So convinced of this were the white Southerners that they almost made the nation believe that they, and only they, knew the mind of the Southern Negro.
