Is the South changing? Or has it--as Walker Percy had contended on Firing Line

ten years earlier--already changed out of all recognition? All three of our guests are professional students of the South; Messrs. Ferris and Cobb are natives, Mr. Millner an immigrant from California. They bring a wealth of detail to bear on the South--and on the America of which it is a part. JCC: "This idea of the South joining the American mainstream--we always considered that this consisted of the South trudging painfully towards the mainstream; we never considered that the mainstream might move towards the South, which I think there is considerable evidence that it has." ... WF: "One of the things, if not the most important thing, that distinguishes it from other parts of the country is this symbiosis of Afro-American and Euro-American cultures.... It goes back to Twain, to Huck and Jim on the raft, and the black and white presence is very deep. Whether the colleges have been integrated or segregated, the closeness of black and white cultures throughout the South has been a very important part of every phase of life, from our literature to our history to our folklore."
