In Fact, One Day I Was Going

This White Man Who Is Saying "it Takes Time." For Three Hundred And More Years They Have Had "time," And Now It Is Time For Them To Listen.

These People In Mississippi State, They Are Not "down"; All They Need Is A Chance. And I Am Determined To Give My Part Not For What The Movement Can Do For Me, But What I Can Do For The Movement To Bring About A Change In The State Of Mississippi.

I Have Just As Much Right To Stay In America - In Fact, The Black People Have Contributed More To America Than Any Other Race, Because Our Kids Have Fought Here For What Was Called "democracy"; Our Mothers And Fathers Were Sold And Bought Here For A Price. So All I Can Say When They Say "go Back To Africa," I Say "when You Send The Chinese Back To China, The Italians Back To Italy, Etc., And You Get On That Mayflower From Whence You Came, And Give The Indians Their Land Back, Who Really Would Be Here At Home?"

Righteousness Exalts A Nation. Hate Just Makes People Miserable.

The Only Thing I Really Feel Is Necessary Is That The Black People, Not Only In Mississippi, Will Have To Actually Upset This Applecart. What I Mean By That Is, So Many Things Are Under The Cover That Will Have To Be Swept Out And Shown To This Whole World, Not Just To America. This Thing They Say Of "the Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave" Is All On Paper.
