I See So Many Ways America Uses

I Saw In Chicago, On The Street Where I Was Visiting My Sister-in-law, This "urban Renewal" And It Means One Thing: "negro Removal." But They Want To Tear The Homes Down And Put A Parking Lot There. Where Are Those People Going? Where Will They Go? And As Soon As Negroes Take To The Street Demonstrating, One Hears People Say, "they Shouldn't Have Done It." The World Is Looking At America And It Is Really Beginning To Show Up For What It Is Really Like. "go Tell It On The Mountain." We Can No Longer Ignore This, That America Is Not "the Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave."

These People In Mississippi State, They Are Not "down"; All They Need Is A Chance. And I Am Determined To Give My Part Not For What The Movement Can Do For Me, But What I Can Do For The Movement To Bring About A Change In The State Of Mississippi.

The President Of Guinea, Sekou Toure, Came To See Us On The 13th. Now You Know, I Don't Know How You Can Compare This By Me Being Able To See A President Of A Country When I Have Just Been There Two Days; And Here I Have Been In America, Born In America, And I Am 46 Years Pleading With The President For The Last Two To Three Years To Just Give Us A Chance-and This President In Guinea Recognized Us Enough To Talk To Us.

I Don't Know About The Press, But I Know In The Town Where I Live Everybody Was Aware That I Was In Africa, Because I Remember After I Got Back Some Of The People Told Me That Mayor Dura Of Our Town Said He Just Wished They Would Boil Me In Tar.

Actually, The World And America Is Upset And The Only Way To Bring About A Change Is To Upset It More.
