ARTICLES FROM NEWSPAPERS IN ARKANSAS, DELAWARE, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, KENTUCKY, MISSISSIPPI, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, AND VIRGINIA ARE PRESENTED. THESE ARTICLES PROTEST AGAINST VIOLENCE IN THE SOUTH. THE MAJOR ARGUMENTS ARE THAT--UNITED STATES' NATIONAL ESTEEM AT HOME AND ABROAD IS BEING LESSENED. UNITED STATES LAW COURTS ARE BEING MADE INEFFECTIVE, COMMUNITIES ARE BEING CONSIDERED DISREPUTABLE BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF A FEW MEMBERS, AND THE SAFETY OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IS BEING THREATENED. WAYS OF COMBATING VIOLENCE ARE INCREASED LAW ENFORCEMENT, INCREASED COURT PUNISHMENTS, AND INCREASED COMMUNITY EFFORTS.
