He also talks about John R. Taylor's pioneering integration policies; the newspaper's reports on the open housing policy; work with the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce and the Human Relations Commission; Hal Sieber's community work; and struggles within the commission. Other topics include being kicked out of a tenants' strike meeting; GAPP; and Nelson Johnson's leadership.
