Is Membership in the Forest Lake Country Club Inherently 'Sensationalist'?

I see what Katon did as evidence of his commitment to
including and involving people from all walks of life and all races.
Katon took a stand for what was right. He stood up in front of his
friends at the club and told them what they were doing was wrong, and
when they refused to change, he decided to leave. I’m not saying that
Katon deserves a medal for the courage he showed that day, but I do
think this one incident revealed the depths of Katon’s personal
commitment to inclusion.
