Righteousness Exalts A Nation. Hate

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.

If I Am Truly Free, Who Can Tell Me How Much Of My Freedom I Can Have Today?

The Mississippi Is Not The Only River. There's The Tallahatchie And The Big Black. People Have Been Put In The River Year After Year, These Things Been Happening.

All Of This Is On Account We Want To Register [sic], To Become First-class Citizens, And If The Freedom Democratic Party Is Not Seated Now, I Question America. Is This America, The Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave Where We Have To Sleep With Our Telephones Off The Hooks Because Our Lives Be Threatened Daily Because We Want To Live As Decent Human Beings - In America?

People Have Got To Get Together And Work Together. I'm Tired Of The Kind Of Oppression That White People Have Inflicted On Us And Are Still Trying To Inflict.
