We Didnt Come All This Way For

Actually Since The Convention I Have Gotten So Many Letters That I Have Tried To Answer But Every Letter Said They Thought This Decision, Not To Accept The Compromise, Was So Important. There Wasn't One Letter I Have Gotten So Far That Said We Should Have Accepted The Compromise - Not One.

Some Things I Found Out In The National Convention I Wasn't Too Glad I Did Find Out. But We Will Work Hard, And It Was Important To Actually Really Bring This Out To The Open, The Things I Will Say Some People Knew About And Some People Didn't; This Stuff That Has Been Kept Under The Cover For So Many Years. Actually, The World And America Is Upset And The Only Way To Bring About A Change Is To Upset It More.

The Mississippi Is Not The Only River. There's The Tallahatchie And The Big Black. People Have Been Put In The River Year After Year, These Things Been Happening.

I Saw How The Government Was Run There [in Africa] And I Saw Where Black People Were Running The Banks. I Saw, For The First Time In My Life, A Black Stewardess Walking Through A Plane And That Was Quite An Inspiration For Me.

One Day I Know The Struggle Will Change. There's Got To Be A Change-not Only For Mississippi, Not Only For The People In The United States, But People All Over The World.
