applications were taken at all different colleges across the country, and people answered all sorts of questions and sent in their applications. And then the best people were selected, and they were brought to a university in Ohio, not in the South, for some initial training.

And then just when the first volunteers were sent down to Mississippi, several of them were murdered in a very brutal way by the KKK. That created a crisis in the program, as you might expect, where people thought this was going to be a difficult summer, but they didn't think they were going to get murdered. A third of the people stayed, and two-thirds of the people decided not

probably don't want to do this in the end. And then, you know, they ran the program at a slightly smaller scale than they expected. And there were no more killings, but there were some difficult circumstances. And after the fact, this sociologist realized, well, all those applications, all those applications are still on record.

So I want to go back and look at those applications and see if I can distinguish who were the stayers and who were the quitters, right? Who are the people who stayed even though suddenly it was looking like a much tougher gig? It was looking like something that was going to be dangerous.

And what was interesting is that these people had written essays about their political values and they had talked about their experience being involved in political activism and that sort of thing. And none of those things mattered. None of those things differed between the stayers and the quitters.

So the conclusion was that these people were embedded in relationships where they couldn't quit. without really disappointing some people that they definitely were going to see again. They were definitely going to see the political club that they were a part of back in their hometown, and they definitely were going to see their friends who were also part of this group. So these being...
