...Riot Report was excellent. There is one point that I believe was not emphasized sufficiently: The Negro was forced to migrate from the rural South to the larger cities of the U.S. I suggest that the commission seek remedial action in these Southern states that still practice overt racism in practically every form, not only by white individuals, as is done in other parts of the country, but also by agencies, private as well as state.

What does sometimes happen is that the roles of the day leader and the professional advisor have to be clarified between them. They have to work together so that the advisor doesn't feel usurped by the day leader and the day leader doesn't feel put down or put himself down to the supervisor. If not, the group will split and form loyalties. This is where professionalism comes in--here, and in answering questions like "What is the effect of electroshock?" or "What does this...
...ground rules: no liquor or psychedelic drugs during the session, no cameras, no leaving the group in pairs. Also: "Participants agree not to engage in overt sexual expression . . . denned as any activity which would be socially inappropriate in a similar group wearing clothing...
