The Methods Used To Take Human Lives,

You Don't Have To Like Everybody, But You Have To Love Everybody.

We Worked All The Time, Just Worked And Then We Would Be Hungry And My Mother Was Clearing Up A New Ground Trying To Help Feed Us For $1.25 A Day. She Was Using An Axe, Just Like A Man, And Something Flew Up And Hit Her In Her Eye. It Eventually Caused Her To Lose Both Of Her Eyes And I Began To Get Sicker And Sicker Of The System There. I Used To See My Mother Wear Clothes That Would Have So Many Patches On Them, They Had Been Done Over And Over And Over Again. She Would Do That But She Would Try To Keep Us Decent.

I Always Said If I Lived To Get Grown And Had A Chance, I Was Going To Try To Get Something For My Mother And I Was Going To Do Something For The Black Man Of The South If It Would Cost My Life; I Was Determined To See That Things Were Changed.

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.

Righteousness Exalts A Nation. Hate Just Makes People Miserable.
