“The people who owned the theater chain in New York were embarrassed, particularly by the demonstration out there talking about the other demonstrations, and about them maintaining segregation.

Dr. Brad Blanton was interviewed as part of The Stand-ins, a documentary about the use of direct action to desegregate movie theaters in Austin. He is the author of the international best selling series of books, most notably, Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth.
