You Can Tell This By The Program The Federal Government Had To Train 2,400 Tractor Drivers. They Would Have Trained Negro And White Together, But This Man, Congressman Jamie Whitten, Voted Against It And Everything That Was Decent.

When I Got On That Plane, It Was Loaded With White People Going To Africa For The Peace Corps. I Got There And Met A Lot Of Them, And Actually They Had More Peace There In Guinea Than I Have Here. I Talked To Some Of Them. I Told Them Before They Would Be Able To Clean Up Somebody Else's House You Would Have To Clean Up Yours; Before They Can Tell Somebody Else How To Run Their Country, Why Don't They Do Something Here.

My Parents Tried So Hard To Do What They Could To Keep Us In School, But School Didn't Last But Four Months Out Of The Year And Most Of The Time We Didn't Have Clothes To Wear.

[my Mother] Tried So Hard To Make Life Easy For Us. Those Are The Things That Forced Me To Try To Do Something Different And When This Movement Came To Mississippi I Still Feel It Is One Of The Greatest Things That Ever Happened Because Only A Person Living In The State Of Mississippi Knows What It Is Like To Suffer; Knows What It Is Like To Be Hungry; Knows What It Is Like To Have No Clothing To Wear.

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.
