| Excerpt from STORMY WEATHER |
|
I doubted if their last stand would have been inside
the guarded gates of Fremont Place, a Hancock Park enclave
right off Wilshire Boulevard and not more that a mile from
Nat Cole's former residence. Even though the development's
perimeter was protected by a rent-a-cop in a gatehouse,
thorny bougainvillea-covered walls, and filigreed wrought
iron work, they couldn't hold back the tide of integration.
Lou Rawls and Muhammad Ali had crashed those gates, as did
black, Latino, and Asian bankers, lawyers, and corporate
chiefs.
