Just Because People Are Fat, It Doesn't

We Didnt Come All This Way For No Two Seats When All Of Us Is Tired.

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.

One Of The Things I Remember As A Child: There Was A Man Named Joe Pulliam. He Was A Great Christian Man; But One Time, He Was Living With A White Family And This White Family Robbed Him Of What He Earned. They Didn't Pay Him Anything. This White Man Gave Him $150 To Go To The Hill, (you See, I Lived In The Black Belt Of Mississippi)... To Get Another Negro Family. Joe Pulliam Knew What This White Man Had Been Doing To Him So He Kept The $150 And Didn't Go.

The Only Thing We Took Out Was The Constitution Of The State Of Mississippi And The Interpretation Of The Constitution. We Had 63,000 People Registered On The Freedom Registration Form. And We Tried From Every Level To Go Into The Regular Democratic Party Medium. We Tried From The Precinct Level. The 16th Of June When They Were Holding Precinct Meetings All Across The State, I Was There And There Was Eight Of Us There To Attend The Meeting, And They Had The Door Locked At 10 O'clock In The Morning. This Is What's Happening In The State Of Mississippi.

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.
