Although Mr. Golder himself was not involved with the Civil Rights Movement in Indianapolis, he discusses some of the people he remembers as leaders. Mr. Golder also touches upon the political situation in Indianapolis, and the fact that many African-Americans in Indianapolis belong to the Republican Party in contrast to the rest of the nation.
