A detail-filled exploration of changes in voting practices, principally in the two guests' native South, since the passage of the civil-rights acts. JL: "In Dallas County, Alabama, in 1965, for example, only 2.1 per cent of the black people of voting age were registered to vote. Today more than 67 per cent... are registered to vote. They have paved streets, they have a sewer system.... In Greene County, Alabama, in 1965,... less than 300 black people were registered to vote. Today black people control the county. They are working with white people and they're working together. You have a housing authority there. For the first time in the history of that county black people have decent housing." And Mr. Bond tells how he learned something about the tendency among politicians, black or white, to "overpromise": "My notion of the $2 minimum wage, for example, vanished rather quickly when I found myself in the legislature and saw what the temperament of the body was."Episode S0129, Recorded on January 23, 1974
