1. Watts terms is a fateful act. There are no retractions or future deliverances. Watts, like other black ghettos across the country, is for ambitious youths, a transient status. Once they left, there's no returning. It is regarded as no place to make a career for those who have a future.
2.There's puzzlement in the minds of those in Watts when he was home last summer. Rumors spread quickly that he was an FBI agent, that he was a suspect because he was not supposed to return. Some people said he was either a federal agent or a fool for returning to Watts by choice.

He fought for his right to education and he deserve every achievement he got despite the racial comments he got.
