The majority of coloured folk, who were conscious of being unfairly treated over the years, were themselves aghast at the severity of the rioting. . The first hopeful signs came when white folk, as well as black, rallied together to help to tidy up and the urgent need of the hungry and homeless was met by generous giving. The situation can be sorted out to the general bene
