Famous Quotes / James Williams
James Williams: "And when I went to Yale, the only segregation was in housing. I was in the W's, so the only black in my squadron was me; the rest were whites. I also want to mention that I was one of the 101 that they arrested in 1945 - when we refused to sign a statement that we would not go into a white officers' club, the tennis courts, and swimming pool."
