Races: The Road to Hell

(2 of 2)

Carmichael automatically became a U.S. citizen when his parents were naturalized in the early 1950s. Though several Congressmen would like to see him arrested for sedition—or on any other applicable charge—Attorney General Ramsey Clark has opposed any legal action in the belief that the Government's case might make Carmichael a martyr and would probably not hold up in court. Thus, when—and if—Carmichael finally does return to Hell, U.S.A., the most that he is likely to suffer is confiscation of his passport. Reason: as a U.S. citizen he broke the State Department's rule against trips to Cuba and North Viet Nam.
