The civil rights movement didn't deal with the issue of political disenfranchisement in the Northern cities. It didn't deal with the issues that were happening in places like Detroit, where there was a deep process of deindustrialization going on.
Danny Glover
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
