Righteousness Exalts A Nation. Hate Just Makes

I Went Almost Naked To See That My Mother Was Kept Decent And Treated As A Human Being For The First Time In All Of Her Life.

No. What Would I Look Like Fighting For Equality With The White Man? I Don't Want To Go Down That Low. I Want The True Democracy That'll Raise Me And That White Man Up Raise America Up.

America That Is Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand, And We Cannot Say We Have All Of This Unity They Say We Have When Black People Are Being Discriminated Against In Every City In America I Have Visited.

I Used To Question This For Years - What Did Our Kids Actually Fight For? They Would Go In The Service And Go Through All Of That And Come Right Out To Be Drowned In A River In Mississippi. I Found This Hypocrisy Is All Over America.

The 20th Of March In 1964, I Went Before The Secretary Of State To Qualify To Run As An Official Candidate For Congress From The 2nd Congressional District, And It Was Easier For Me To Qualify To Run Than It Was For Me To Pass The Literacy Test To Be A Registered Voter. And We Had Four People To Qualify And Run In The June Primary Election Be We Didn't Have Enough Negroes Registered In Mississippi.
