from Tennessee speak on the sit-ins. How much more can I praise you than probably has been said to you except that you are the only people in this country who deserve to live in this country. You are the REAL Americans! It's too bad that the people in the North didn't really come out for the picketing right away. But now the boycott is really picking up. We have about 60 of all the 105 Woolworths stores picketed with an average of 25-30
