My Parents Tried So Hard To Do

I Think There Will Be Great Leaders Emerging From The State Of Mississippi. The People That Have The Experience To Know And The People Not Interested In Letting Somebody Pat You On The Back And Tell Us "i Think It Is Right." And It Is Very Important For Us Not To Accept A Compromise And After I Got Back To Mississippi, People There Said It Was The Most Important Step That Had Been Taken.

I See So Many Ways America Uses To Rob Negroes And It Is Sinful And America Can't Keep Holding On, And Doing These Things.

It Is Only When We Speak What Is Right That We Stand A Chance At Night Of Being Blown To Bits In Our Homes. Can We Call This A Free Country, When I Am Afraid To Go To Sleep In My Own Home In Mississippi?... I Might Not Live Two Hours After I Get Back Home, But I Want To Be A Part Of Setting The Negro Free In Mississippi.

Whether You Have A Ph.d., Or No D, We're In This Bag Together. And Whether You're From Morehouse Or Nohouse, We're Still In This Bag Together. Not To Fight To Try To Liberate Ourselves From The Men - This Is Another Trick To Get Us Fighting Among Ourselves - But To Work Together With The Black Man, Then We Will Have A Better Chance To Just Act As Human Beings, And To Be Treated As Human Beings In Our Sick Society.

When I Liberate Myself, I Liberate Others. If You Don't Speak Out Ain't Nobody Going To Speak Out For You.
