You Can Pray Until You

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.

With The People, For The People, By The People. I Crack Up When I Hear It; I Say, With The Handful, For The Handful, By The Handful, Cause That's What Really Happens.

After We Testified Before The Credentials Committee In Atlantic City, Their Mississippi Representative Testified Also. He Said I Got 600 Votes But When They Made The Count In Mississippi, I Was Told I Had 388 Votes. So Actually It Is No Telling How Many Votes I Actually Got.

I Have Just As Much Right To Stay In America - In Fact, The Black People Have Contributed More To America Than Any Other Race, Because Our Kids Have Fought Here For What Was Called "democracy"; Our Mothers And Fathers Were Sold And Bought Here For A Price. So All I Can Say When They Say "go Back To Africa," I Say "when You Send The Chinese Back To China, The Italians Back To Italy, Etc., And You Get On That Mayflower From Whence You Came, And Give The Indians Their Land Back, Who Really Would Be Here At Home?"

It Would Bring Tears In Your Eyes To Make You Think Of All Those Years, The Type Of Brain-washing That This Man Will Use In America To Keep Us Separated From Our Own People.
