CHARLESTON'S LEGACY     O'DELL

improvements won, the beginnings made towards full union recognition, the brief lesson in political economy learned, and the refreshing vitality any community gains from being involved in an organizational effort for change, add up to an important victory for the Poor People's Campaign and the hospital workers in Charleston. It is a victory, however, which will have to be guarded and boldly extended to other parts of the South in order to prevent the achievements from being eroded and undermined by the opposition. 

The growing movement to fulfill the goals of the Poor People's Campaign will move the United States a long ways towards becoming a civilized society. This will be a society worthy of our epoch in human history when mankind, in its scientific and technological prowess, has stepped foot upon the surface of the moon.
