Description is exactly
"Prof. Jonathan Mirsky gives his perspective of the Shockley Incident to David Gregory, American Civil Liberties Union's Chairman on Free Speech. He explains that the National Academy themselves viewed Shockley with disdain and that "his talk had been deliberately scheduled last so that, hopefully, he would address an empty hall." Mirsky concludes his letter with his overall assessment and opinion "that by merely clapping, the blacks showed moderation [while] [t]he whites displayed inertia, insensitivity and perhaps a bit of cowardice.""
