In the late 50's and early 60's, there were still some folks living down south that were born into slavery. They just never went out and made a name for themselves.
My father met one ore two of them, and my Grandmother (still living) met plenty of them.
These folks would have been no use to the civil agitators, as they were content and decent people. They found value in an honest days work, understood that they were owed nothing, and generally felt blessed to have what they did.
J.C. Watts grew up in that atmosphere, if I recall correctly. Though, I can't remember whether or not he had occasion to meet previously enslaved relatives.
