"Harold Fleming deserves a title that the civil rights movement rarely confers upon white people: a Civil Rights Leader. We all gathered at the Potomac Institute. We argued, debated, planned, and executed . . . and then relaxed and prepared for another day on the battlefield of equal opportunity."--Vernon E. Jordan
