In response to:
Hampered Brilliance from the June 4, 2015 issue
To the Editors:
In my review of Barney Frank’s Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage [NYR, June 4], I wrote that the 1964 compromise offered to the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party would put two black faces to be concentrated in a sea of white delegates at the Democratic Convention. In fact, one black person and one white would have sat for the MFDP.
