Unfortunately they won't listen. Everytime I hear a news report quoting Morris, I send the Harper's article to them immediately. Would be interesting to revisit that article and see if it could be updated (maybe even have a separate side article on Heidi Beyr--ich).
I've heard him say some stunningly hateful and inflamatory things over the years. Happily, the N&O quoted him in some real ugly remark about a year ago and I have it retained somewhere. I see there is some celebration of him underway (or about to start) around Duke or Durham in the next week or two. But celebrations of him are like roads named MLK....they proliferate like bunnies and can never be irradicated.
