I Was In Jail When Medgar Evers

I Got Pictures Of Us And They Would Draw Big Red Rings Around Us And Tell What They Thought Of Us. I Got A Letter Said, "i Have Been Shot Three Times Throught The Heart. I Hope I See Your Second Act." But This White Man Who Wants To Stay White, And To Think For The Negro, He Is Not Only Destroying The Negro, He Is Destroying Himself, Because A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand And That Same Thing Applies To America.

White Americans Today Don't Know What In The World To Do Because When They Put Us Behind Them, That's Where They Made Their Mistake... They Put Us Behind Them, And We Watched Every Move They Made.

The Methods Used To Take Human Lives, Such As Abortion, The Pill, The Ring, Etc., Amounts To Genocide. I Believe That Legal Abortion Is Legal Murder.

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. It Doesn't Really Mean Anything To Us. The Only Way We Can Make This Thing A Reality In America Is To Do All We Can To Destroy This System And Bring This Out To The Light That Has Been Under The Cover All These Years.

In Fact, One Day I Was Going To Jackson And I Saw A Huge Sign That U.s. Senator John Stennis Was Speaking That Night For The White Citizens Council In Yazoo City And They Also Have A State Charter That They May Set Up For "private Schools." It Is No Secret.
