Smith's writings, her investigative tours of the South, and the interracial conferences were signs that intellectual and social change was brewing in the South.
By the time the civil rights movement made its dramatic debut in the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, Smith had been meeting or corresponding with many southern fls and concerned whites for years and was well informed about the conditions in which African Americans lived, and about their anger and frustration.
It is arguable that Smith's sojourn in China, where she witnessed prejudice, oppression, and constant violations of her youthful Christian principles, compelled her to become an outspoken social critic.

While they tend to cost more than traditional camps — up to nearly $1,000 a week for some sleep-away courses — some parents see them as giving their kids a leg up in schools and eventually in a working world that seems to rely ever more heavily on technology.
