I See So Many Ways

Some Things I Found Out In The National Convention I Wasn't Too Glad I Did Find Out. But We Will Work Hard, And It Was Important To Actually Really Bring This Out To The Open, The Things I Will Say Some People Knew About And Some People Didn't; This Stuff That Has Been Kept Under The Cover For So Many Years. Actually, The World And America Is Upset And The Only Way To Bring About A Change Is To Upset It More.

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.

No. What Would I Look Like Fighting For Equality With The White Man? I Don't Want To Go Down That Low. I Want The True Democracy That'll Raise Me And That White Man Up Raise America Up.

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.

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.
