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.

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. So, We've Got To Have Somebody In Washington Who Is Concerned About The People Of Mississippi.

After We Testified Before The Credentials Committee In Atlantic City, Their Mississippi Representative Testified Also. He Said I Got 600 Votes But When They Made The Count In Mississippi, I Was Told I Had 388 Votes. So Actually It Is No Telling How Many Votes I Actually Got.

My Mother Was A Great Woman. To Look At Her From The Suffering She Had Gone Through To Bring Us Up - 20 Children: 6 Girls And 14 Boys, But Still She Taught Us To Be Decent And To Respect Ourselves, And That Is One Of The Things That Has Kept Me Going, Even After She Passed.

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.
