Faulkner Letter Cites Equality via Personal Conduct
The late William Faulkner wrote to his former Negro butler Paul Pollard in 1960 saying equality cannot be forced and must come through personal conduct and achievement. Pollard later sold the letter to Charles Hamilton Autographs, which published it via New York Times News Service. The editor reflects on regional racial attitudes, noting North treats Negroes as individuals while the South views them as a generality.
