- Two days later, and Griffin is spending three days in Mobile. What did he do? Walk around looking for jobs. And how many jobs did he find? Zero.
- One guy actually outright tells him that the white people at his job are orchestrating a plan to drive out all the black people from their company and from all of Alabama. That amount of straight up racism is shocking.
- This isn't Griffin's first time in Mobile. He's been here before as a white guy, preparing to ride on a fancy ship all the way to France.
- Back then he thought that southern white people were kind and wise, and black people did terrible jobs because those were the only ones they could do. Now, as a black man, he sees that's not the case.
