  1. Watts terms is a fateful act. There are no retractions or future deliverances. Watts, like other black ghettos across the country, is for ambitious youths, a transient status. Once they left, there's no returning. It is regarded as no place to make a career for those who have a future.

    2.There's puzzlement in the minds of those in Watts when he was home last summer. Rumors spread quickly that he was an FBI agent, that he was a suspect because he was not supposed to return. Some people said he was either a federal agent or a fool for returning to Watts by choice.

    3. Stanley Sanders was a Yankee foreign student or a Rhodes scholar. 

    4. The typical European response was unlike anything he had seen before. They had no homes or business to worry about protecting. They wanted to know why Negroes did not riot more often. As the only negro in the summer session he felt awkward for a time because he was being asked questions about the black man in America that no one ever asked him before. The author is brave for standing to what he thinks he deserved. He didn't let race or social background dictate his future. He fought for his right to education and he deserve every achievement he got despite the racial comments he got.
