Three point response: "the major struggle would be in the hearts and minds of people and 'in the gap between law and custom.'" Apply this to the incident with the white man.
1-customs are regarded highly, but they are NOT laws
2-the Brown ruling went against their custom - the belief that African-Americans are inferior
3-the white man was not going to allow the Supreme Court to control his belief, his custom. He was going to prove that he could do whatever he wanted, include rape an innocent girl.
