Isaac Woodard's demand that a Southern bus driver treat him like a man started a chain of events that were made to seem inevitable in Federal Court at Columbia, South Carolina, last week--even to the final event, the acquittal of the Batesburg police chief who blinded the African American war veteran. By speaking as be did on a bus that was making its way through the South Carolina piedmont Woodard Threatened a way of life that is still taken for granted in that state. Every one of the witnesses who had been on or near the bus that night of February 12, 1946, was asked by the defense whether Woodard had talked profanely and obscenely "in front of, or in the heating of, white ladies."
