Altered forever. That an old order is dying in a new one is being born. That moment comes sooner for some, and for others it comes later. For some, the moment arrives when a deed of a new dimension sets are apart. For others, when familiar words are spoken more sharply. Later, but still suddenly it seems, men are saying things in doing things that have never said or done before. Then we know we are experiencing a revolution. But we cannot say, although historians will try when it began. We know that autumn does not begin with the turning up the leaves, but earlier on some forgotten after news when a shadow passes over the field and its no longer summer. So this American Revolution of 63 began this year in birmingham or on 1955 in montgomery . Or did it began in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision, or an 1863 with the president ial proclamation. Some of its worst reach back to 1776 to an independent revolution, even back to the 50 to win the apostle paul said god has made of one of us or to do an allto face. The truth is that the American Revolution began in all those years, that it passed a restless vision that sometimes abs inflows the most to ever for freedom. Our purpose now is to define this revolution. We propose to show how it began. It began in many ways. The course of this following, there are many tributaries and its effects, they are not unitary. Shelters this over the next three hours. We have not established a rigid formed, revolutions did not fit into standard size containers. We shall begin by beginning, confident that any strand in a fabric still being woven will across all the other strands. As in albany, georgia. There and and hundreds of others communities, the church is the privilege sanctuary, a source of inspiration. The story was covered by robert kavanaugh. Music has been used as an expression of protest, and first and opening. Why in december 61, albany became a prime target. No one is quite sure. Most other communities were recognized as tougher on the knee quo then this city. But the resentment also showed itself and song and other forms of demonstration. A ban on demonstrations has brought more than 1500 arrests on the segregationists so far. Most last summer when the horses of Martin Luther king were prominent in the drive. Also, from outside of albany came ministers and rabbis to demonstrate in street prayer. Whats your purpose . Our purpose is to offer prayers to god. Im asking you to disperse, go about your normal way, go back to your normal places of livelihood. Reach to your own congregation, and before you try to convert us. Anyone else youre going to be heard from . Praise for your service, raise the name of the lord, lets be the name of the lord. The clergymen were arrested, and as albany became a bigger National Story they negotiate with the knee grows a comment from president kennedy. I find inexplicable why it will not sit down with the citizens, and maybe they can attempt to assure them of their right. They are sitting with the city of albany. The otherwise quiet georgia city, population 37,000 white, 23,000 new grows remain stalemated in the fight. Leader king saw success ahead. Were all disappointed with the Senate Commission and their refusal to talk with the leaders of the albany movement, but in spite of this we see something developing in this community, which is one of the most Significant Developments in the civil rights struggle, and we will be able to see changes in this community that will completely change in terms of the segregation and new levels of communication. What factors resulted from more than 1500 arrests . Hardly anything that the leader seek. Nine have been indicted and a push by the federal government in connection with alleged retaliation against the white juror who had voted to their displeasure and a novel civil rights fact. Asked for the immediate situation, the White Committee of albany as yielded nothing of significance. No Biracial Committee formed. No desegregation all storm. There are no demonstrations now. There are mass meetings every monday night, police chief lori petite says albany is just the way it was before all of this. In tangibly, there is one thing that didnt come out of albany, Martin Luther king learned the lessons of failures here after not repeating the minutes next for way, birmingham. There are now and theyre always have been those who wish at least to stand a messy struggle, and to remain emotionally and involved. There is always outcomes when usually unhappy life, more than 100 years ago an old woman, sat rocking on her front porch and missouri and spat out these words. Of all the things in this world, i hate slavery the most, except abolitionists. These abolitionists, scourge of the south and vane of the, North Carolinas at the line between righteousness and self righteousness spread about many songs unions said in their pernicious views until they had saved the union into a war to abolish slavery. Their seatbelt was amherst, massachusetts. Buildings that speak of times past, trees ancient stand guard over 100. There is a doorway for a century and a half. Now came henry ward beach or, pastor of the Plymouth Church in brooklyn. Published by the stern, uncompromising william loyd garrison. Beach or would remember, and in the years ahead, he would shock half the country by auctioning a slave girl from the pulpit of his church, its during protest. And there was that he hated tyranny. Beauty is ours, result of tyranny belong to god. And julia ward how, writing the words that would be some along 1000 roads win the terrible lightning came. An editor, an angry minister, a sedated and graciously each protesting this slavery. Heres how it started. Africa, the coast of guinea, a treatment properly subdued and branded dropped a better price. The first slaves were landed in the colonies in 16 19, others followed, brought across and boats, backed like cargo, disease and death their constant companions. They said those who need it that you could smell a flavor before you could see him. And this, the children of their children, name and age unknown. And the price . That was a thing of supply and demand. Its february 5th, it was a tuesday at bankers arcade and a magazine street in new orleans. 41 slaves exulted the highest bidder. There is louis, a black man. He was 32. A good field hand and labor. Shelley, 26. Wesley, a 23yearold broke layer brought the top price, 2000 and 700 dollars. There was the same in New Hampshire and personnel and city. 2700 for a brick layer. The women made good service but the babies could do nothing useful, not for a long time. Sometimes they were not made part of the bargain. Slaves were simply a matter of business, or so they said. They try to believe. The peculiar institution was argued and debated, attacked and defended. But it was there. Some streets were different. Events might have happened differently, and those against slavery almost one in the beginning. By the end of the revolutionary war was acknowledge that slavery was not only immoral, it was economically unwise. You couldnt fire slave. You had to be fed enclosed. The system of staying out. It might have died out completely but for this man. He was not an evil man. His name was eli whitney. In 1793, he invented a device to separate cotton seats from the fiber. It was brilliantly simple. Now a girl could do the work of men, ten men could replace 100. And suddenly, almost, cotton became the main crop of the south. Cotton everywhere. Cotton replacing rice and tobacco and sorghum. Cotton quickly bailed, cotton for the mills of new england, hungry mills whose hunger seemed to grow by what fed them. Spindle said formed a stark, manmade landscape stretched to the horizon. And those who apologize for slavery were called back. Called back to drop pictures of how the word of god was given to a happy and wellloved people. Just picture an evening scene on the river, there is music and dancing, singing voices. That was the idea. But this is closer to the reality. And this. My god and if any try to escape, this. A new book appeared, uncle toms cap and. It seems hopelessly oldfashioned to us now. Uncle tom a little eva and some improbable forest, but to its generation it pained like an avenging bolt of lightning. President lincoln would meet the author, harriet beach or stow, sister of the reverend ward beach or. She would be called the little lady who started the war. We cannot know what it was to sit in the back and watch the play. Allies across the ice to freedom. Now, the bidding of uncle home. The harsh overseer of the slaves. Uncle tom, and here came the classic line that brought tears to a generation, you may own my body but my soul belongs to god. And the change was coming. New york city, here at cooper union, a lovely reddish brown Stone Building that still exists, perched on the edge of the very became the him that the issue was moving towards a somber resolution. Here and, the winter of 1860 came one abraham lincoln, a politician from illinois. He was unknown on the east and would not have been exploited at all if he was not satisfied with the other. Well, maybe this like u. S. Center had something to say. He did. Wrong as we think slavery is, we can yet afford to let it alone where it is. But can we . Our vote will prevent, it allow it to spread into the National Territory and overrun us here in the free states. If our sense of duty for bids this, but a stand by fearlessly and effectively. Need a lot of the slanted by false accusations against, us nor frighten from it by ministers of destruction to the government, nor a vengeance to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might. And in that faith, let us, to the, end they are do our duty as we understand it. It does not seem like a powerful statement now, not here and not to us, but it was during, and spoke his base. 100 year old. There were hints of the conflict to come. Here came john brown, deep feared and hating. The plan was to capture the arms and start in igor vault, but it failed and brown was executed. I, john brown am certain that the crimes of this guilty land will not be purged away but with blood. It came first at a place called bill run. There would be more. September night, 101 years ago. Not that night. Lee was somewhere up ahead, and then it would die. 26,000 americans died, losses for each army were equal. Still, the confederate had retreated and lincoln would call it a victory. He came to anti time to talk strategy, but his thoughts were long needed. Now was the time. He spoke with his cabinet. No, no. Secretary sewer, and in a single resolution and loneliness, lincoln made the decision. On the first day of january 1863, all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a state, the people there of should be in rebellion against the United States shall be than force and forever free. And i further declared to make known that such persons of suitable conditions should be received into the Armed Services of the United States. And if we must have a beginning, he is not for sale, this man. He is a soldier proud of his status and his job. Perhaps it began here. Four men who dared to fight and dare to dream, and now for the first time we really saw their faces it. The product so patient and this is the play the proclamation emancipated no slaves. The proclamation would free the slaves only after Union Victory and peace. And peace on agus sixth, 1864 must come through the powerful negotiations of general grant and chairman. Sherman william to comfy, red voted, hot guide and perhaps have men. But only the half men doozy. Chairman realized that hatred had become the driving face of the war, he accepted this. His aim, he said, was to rip the web walls, humble their pride, follow them to their innermost recesses and make them fear and dread us. He did in atlanta, georgia. Sherman, the first to realize that technology has changed the classics of warfare was the first to strike at the source of armed power instead of the armed power itself. Precisely 99 years ago today, he battled his way into atlanta and began the systematic and ruthless destruction of the city, all realign it ripped up. Bonfires built and the rails were twisted around trees or telegraph poles to make sherman. Foundry smashed, furnaces wrecked, smokestack pulled down, buildings fell and fired, 2000 dollars worth. The flames spread, and a night explosions thundered against the sky. When the city appealed, sherman replied war is cruel and you cannot refine it. He rolled out of the city, a third of atlanta lay in ashes. Although atlanta has not really forgotten, it has changed. And within the bcs editor ralph mcgill surveys. Atlanta began as early as 1990. With a group of new grow and white people who established a commission dealing with interracial problems. This continued and was expanded into the Southern Regional council, with offices here. This was a research organization. This made it possible for interested persons to take a look at the city. Wed like to think that we play a part here on the newspaper, the atlanta constitution. We had a great deal of health, especially with mayor, who was mayor for 23 years. I remember bill coming to see us, and about 16 or 17 years ago we began a campaign to help them put in police. The old story came up, it will be blood and the streets well nothing happened. It was a normalcy successful, and we now have most of them promoted to officer status. Theyve had a great deal to do with making it better city, the police. And we have a fine police chief and still have him, herbert jenkins, who trained his beliefs early, well before the eisenhower administration. Before the police chief was training his officers and patrolman and the rights of citizens. So i guess we have not been a lucky city, but we worked at it together at this. And we have not been unaware of the problems. Mr. Mcgill, you live with this problem for a long time. And atlanta, with an ego aspiration here, a reflection of something very profound going on in american society. No, i think its something thats going on in american society. It seem to me, looking at it, across a span of about 35 years here in the city that we were going along and making progress. Indeed, we have done most of the things and atlanta before the great outburst of citizens and demonstrations. But it seems to me that what happened in birmingham, alabama. The police dogs and the several days of brutality there, and a television enabling people all over this country to see what was going on. Newspapers writing about it. This really seemed to me to change overnight. I think lincolns proclamation ending slavery, that it fell on every state in the union. It seems to me that the outrage in birmingham sparked on every state in the union. This changed things. This is what opened up demands for civil rights in the northeast and west. So that now i think this is a national, and we are part of it. We are lucky to have gotten so well on the way, but we were part of it. What now, without question, national involvement. We are nearly a decade after the Supreme Court ordered schools segregation ended with all deliberate speed, the United States witness and became accustomed to an annual autumnal right, the enrollment of a few negotiations in previously all white schools. Sometimes, it wasnt acted against a background of howling mobs and bayonets. Sometimes, it occurred peacefully. But either way, most white americans felt the need was making progress. It wasnt until the spring of this year, 1963 that this illusion was shattered. Suddenly roused, but not fully wake and, most of us were baffled by the new character. Schools from the longer the plant target. In baltimore, it was an amusement park. And ministers, whites were arrested for joining the grows and trespassing segregated rooms. Court orders are no longer the prime weapon, the movement had followed over these and invoking the constitution itself. Negotiations no longer prevented or halted demonstrators. Notice but fitfully by the country as a whole, the knee grow had spilled his cause out of Congress Rooms and into the streets. And the movement burst its seams and became a revolution. It happened in birmingham, alabama and is reported by richard malaria. Jets of water from High Pressure fire hostages sent hundreds reeling and sprawling among the trees here, just a few moments from downtown. Also an armored car to break up mobs and throw rocks around the park area. A violent outburst came during the final days of a five Weeklong Campaign of demonstrations against Racial Discrimination in birmingham, the most totally segregated big city in the south. The campaign was directed by the reverend martin lurking junior. He made his headquarters in a motel a half block away. Behind me, the 16th street baptist church. The main staging area for the demonstration. On good friday, i had watched dr. King lead a small anti segregation march. Police commissioner Eugene Connor ordered his arrest. These two men played principal roles in the drama birmingham. The use of non violent to achieve immediate process with extremism and complacency. Connor, we had unyielding segregationist, symbolized the forces of white supremacys, even though he was on his way out of office. The campaign had big on april 3rd, citizens and smallscale marches, which police generally handled with restraint puts dwindling patients. Then a new dimension was entered. Following dr. Kings tactic of going to jail deliberately to dramatize the protest against segregation. Unlike albany, the supply recruit for the nonviolent army was limited. 40 are knee gross. 700 were arrested on may 2nd. The demonstrations attracted huge crowds of onlookers, those who are not trained in the principles of nonviolence. And a supercharged atmosphere, racial antagonism in the wild. Police dogs were brought in, and they had first been used against white crowds going to freedom rides two years ago. Rocks and bottles at the police, for the next five days right and nearby its swept through the park. Police were joined by efforts to join the mob, to no avail. But there will be no letup in the demonstrations. The demonstrations had around the long suppressed feelings of bitterness and frustration among the community. They represented to them that the five authorities held them down. Now, the resentment came to the surface and a violent out rage. And five, days 2500 were arrested they filled the jails and other detention quarters and what doctor king called fulfillment of a dream. The head of the Civil Rights Department was sent to birmingham to try to regenerate stalled negotiations going on behind the scenes. Governor George Wallace and state troopers to help subdue the racial turbulence. The settlement finally came on may 10th. The main points where desegregation of public facilities downtown within 90 days, better Job Opportunities and creation of a biracial community. The demonstrations and the boycott of downtown birmingham, which had caused severe losses were called off. The breakthrough sparked a wave of demonstrations elsewhere. The trouble here was not over. The atmosphere was thick with hatred, extremist thunders, the city had been sold out. The negotiations here theres refused to make the name public. After the announcement of the agreement, the motel was bombed. It was saturday night and the bombing provoked and an iranian reaction. They went on a riotous rampage through a non black area, burning shops and cars, slashing cars. And again, bombarding police and firemen with anything they could find to throw. Here leaders appeared in vain for order. The rioting remained unchecked into mothers day. President kennedy ordered federal troops near birmingham. Sunday morning, Police Officers sealed off a 20 block area, they carried shotguns. The next, a doctor can carried his message of nonviolence into the pool hall. The violence has not ended informing him. I disagreed a parliament store downtown was tear gassed. The new mayor, albert was also threatened with a tear gas bombing. More recently, the home of an attorney was dynamite it. Investigating police were bombarded with rocks by angry knee growth. The Organizational Committee is in the process of being organized. Another crisis looms on september 4th, the first desegregation in the Public School system. Why fanatics are calling for physical resistance. The city is determined to maintain order. Birminghams racial troubles have not yet to run their course. Eugene connor, no longer Police Commissioner comments today on the American Revolution, especially for this program. The movement is not a revolution. It is one phase of an age long conflict. In every civilization, the near dwells joined but some who are genuine, unfortunate and the people of limited capacity have aligned themselves against the industrious, able and debt paying people. Sometimes, this contest was bloody and quickly executed. Witness the french revolution of 1790. The russian communist coup of 1918, and the chinese takeover of 1946. In the United States, this contest is being waged gradually and asked to balance. And our country, and educated people could vote. Then, the contest began and three qualifications disappeared. Educational qualifications were overlooked. Now, the population by the millions is being lowered into the ballot box to further dilute its quality so that our country will not be run by its race, but by its numbers. Those concerning primarily with being fed, clothes and nursed by the government. The socalled movement is the attempt to take over of our country by the lazy, and doesnt, the ignorant and by some misguided religion assists and reading hearts. All being led with the office by appealing, remember not to read but by the most votes. May, 1963. Four months ago, the federal government was still working behind the scenes to nurture the first contexts, whole fling. During that first troubled spring, another truce was achieved with white political leaders. That was in cambridge, maryland. Even the name of the main straight, cambridge maryland, racist treat, symbolizes the golf between whites and blacks in this town. This main street divides the two communities geographically. And Long Campaign of demonstrations have severed them apart racially. The demonstrations and the violence brought the American National guard to maintain order. The guardsmen still stand in cambridge, addressing deep racial wounds that have not yet healed. The desegregation campaign was organized by the socalled cambridge nonviolent action committing, with total integration as its goal. It was headed by gloria richardson, a militant leader. Along the way, nonviolent actions became violent. The first explosion came in june after a long series of demonstrations, arrests, more demonstrations, more arrests. Stalled negotiations, broken promises and charges of bad faith from both sides. Riding rocked the city on june 11th, following a march to protest against the sentencing of two juvenile demonstrators. Two days later, a huge thrown of counter demonstrating whites were blocked by police and state troopers from surging into the district. But the city was on the verge of war. The National Guard was assured into cambridge to maintain a military government. Modified martial law, including a curfew. Negotiations started and stalled. On july 8th, it was sold out. And resumed immediately. It became one of the most improbable focal points of National Attention when robert fazing speared a kneeling demonstrated with raw egg. Afterward, nbc reporter check perkins talked with a repentant person. You saw yourself on television, saw a very hateful man. Are you that kind of man . Well, im just an ordinary american who feels that he had a right to defend his livelihood, help never happens again. A violent again. Shots were fired by snipers. The mood of the city was one of bitter anger. They keep thinking were banking for something. Were begging for nothing. We tell them what is ours right now. And were letting them know that we were on the rail. We mean that. We will never turn back. No white people can go out there, thats one thing right now. Its all onesided, and they will not take pictures, and theyll from what they want to point. If i paint myself black id be on tv every night. Again, the curfew was stricter this time. Demonstrators of all types were prohibited. All stores will closed at 7 pm. Curfew at 9 pm. We will not have demonstrations tonight or a mass rally. And please obey their curfew, please obey the curfew. Tear gas to break up another protest. And even guardsman became snipers. Mid reached even to the white house, president kennedy revealed the demonstrators were having lost sight of their objective. Finally, on july 27th, after attorney general robert kennedy, it called for the desegregation and the making of a Biracial Committee. And interviewer at the state employment officer, and providing desegregation a public accommodation. The story is not yet over. The amendment must go to a public referendum next month. Lights out by a two to one, and if the amendment fails to pass and the city offers no alternative, they may once again take their protests to the street. Cambridge has not been a model of how to settle a racial problem. The solution to a local problem with engineered in washington. If it has been a positive side, it may be that other eastern sore communities have been influenced to find a more peaceful solution. Some southern cities had found a solution. Charlotte, North Carolina had integrated hotels and motels, theaters and restaurants, busses, libraries, parks, hospitals and churches. But cambridge and birmingham were more turbulent tributaries, president kennedy sent a catalog of civil rights proposals in june, while niagara leaders were being asked with increasing frequency what is it that your people want . The answer depends on where the people are. In the south, and immediately goal is entrance to and service by places doing business with the public. But it might be considered Consumer Rights. The more basic goals are the vote and education. And the north, the niqab has his Consumer Rights and of the vote, but he joins and the demand. Then his calls to reach behind public benefit, jobs and housing. The north is often guilty of assuming moral superiority over the south because they are allowed the public benefits. When they attend private advancement, the self righteousness as frequently exposed. Its evident everywhere, three times in 12 years it has led to violence in chicago. The angle would district with the latest violence taking place is on chicago southside, along the edge of an area which has seen an enlargement in the population over the past 20 years. The line of demarcation between black and white sometimes called the wall, presently runs along the railroad tracks, which bound the committee on the south and west. Inside this barrier, resigns a predominantly lower middle class population. Fiercely determined to maintain the present character of their neighborhood. It was an ankle would that the riot took place. 30 apartment buildings that were vacant and the landlord rented departments and the result of this tension has grown in the area. Groups have been gathering every night, perhaps some disturbances and disorderly contact. Policeman assaulted. And what chicagos race disturbance in a decade. Why did it happen . Trains enough, the reason theyre always the same. Distrust, unfamiliarity, fear, bigotry encouraged by puppeteers. Similar thoughts all over the United States. Its as much as your mind as what happens to your feelings. Its kind of a disillusionment that takes you there. You wonder how other people can be this way to other people. We dont stand for colored in this neighborhood. My husband has to work with the, my children have to go to school with him but i dont say that i have to live with him. Thats it, because you dont know me. There is no desire to know me. They saw that when we came up, they looked at my skin and that was it. They did not know anything about me and did not care to know. My wife graduated from university of minnesota and education. I graduated from Lincoln University and pennsylvania, thats been my theological work in washington d. C. , and graduate work and rolling force, North Carolina. It doesnt make any difference to me. I dont like that its been there, i will keep away from that. We made our commitment and were going to stay by it. My daughter is 11 month old, and im 40, im 40. A little bit of stronger business has been made, you see, and then we have a lot more freedom today than we do have. Weve made our commitment today. The colored has been north the 99th, and i know the value of our home depreciated sense. This has been several years ago. The fact that they are right now in the neighborhood it, has depreciated the value of our homes now. Ive lived here for 14 years and when i came over here, it was a very nice neighborhood. Everything was clean. All the properties were kept up. Everybody on their own home. And everybody got along. Until about one year ago when they broke the block and the real estate men. Immediate upon my white Family Moving in, all the people are pastured every sunday morning and you want to sell . You want to sell . All you have to do the stay where you are. And its a known fact that you cannot be inundated or run over. You didnt come here to take somebody out or to make anyone feel uncomfortable . I believe that wed be fine as neighbors as anybody else. I think we would have colored people in the same places that we are. This is not a matter of being educated, evidently. This is what i believe that i was taught. But be educated and work and be clean and so on. It isnt until the very least of us is free. But i am free. For that matter, any of us. Because if, as human beings, we cannot live in our country and to be respected as human beings, something is the matter with something and it is not me. It is permitted and required of historians that they find order in the most disordered human affairs. That is one reason why the history of a revolution shows from the history of causes to the most inevitable conclusions. But one goal start above the others and that its attainment was certain. If it were education, a personable cost hardly a ripple when he entered the school. Contrast that ouch with a young person, prompted disruption before they entered the civil rights movement. But education is not the primary goal. For, some it is the house and neighborhood, and a hamburger at a white lunch counter. Theres a remarkable philosophy shaving the methods and with a fiercely independent american recluse, the austere conquest. Fashioned upon the cold winters was born. Born in july, 1870, in a place already touched by history. It will treat the way kindly and still survived. Walden pond was a short walk away. Here, wild enough in this remote place haunted by winds, there was one of the idea of passive resistance. It was 1845, but already too crowded. He needed a place to think. He came here. And thought he thought and the words he wrote with sound and india, in birmingham, richmond virginia, at the campus of mississippi. His city de was stark, so to wear his work. Unjust laws exist. Shall would be content to obey them or shell week transgressed on at once . Men think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Or this. I have paid no pull tax for six years, i was put in a jail on this account and as i stood considering the door of what, i could not help being struck with the foolishness of that institution, was treated me as if i were mere flesh and blood and bones to be locked up. I did not for a moment to feel confined. I felt as if i alone of all my towns people had paid my tax. It was all a long time ago, and the house survives a man who named it best, henry. Ivan walden pond has changed. Theres a public beach there are now. And of all the things that cannot be there, only the survives. A dead tree. He may have brushed it in passing, but ideas dont die. How strong ones. The unjust laws exist, and child a transgress them . 1963. We will define, we will defy the injunction. Ive been arrested some five times. I have been to jail before, and im willing to go to jail today. We will do Everything Possible to defy the injunction. I say to you we will defy, we will defy this injunction. An 1864, occupying parts of louisiana, theyre about to joy new election laws and he wrote that i barely suggest for your private consideration, whether some color people would be left and. Within six years of this temperate and hesitant start, lincoln was that, they had been given the right to vote and were denied the vote. Carpetbaggers, Northern Lights helped draw up new constitutions that Southern States had to accept before readmission. Within the nights, the ku klux klan were sworn. With violence and intimidation, they drove from the legislatures and found the voting booths. They had regained the voting majority. Thereafter, and with Supreme Court acquiescence, they constitutionally guaranteed the right to vote and it was whittled away. And the south today, only 20 of those eligible are registered. And some power county, only 2 . His name, george green is the bedrock segregation area and mississippi. His role, 19 year old warrior and the Voter Registration campaign. We feel that they were not denied, and the only way to rely is to not be a registered voter. Would you like to go to both of these . You wouldnt care to go. The gains have been small and frustrations large. Courage is not as contagious as fear. Sunflower county, neighboring 65 got 2 ledges third. The birthplace of the young volunteers and the student nonviolent have traveled the pack county. This is the red section, the new growth section. In greenwood. So far, weve been concentrating on areas a and b. Area be is weve been working in that town since beginning. George and wiley and fred and milton and i can go back around that, and then divide ourself into the other area. This plantation is important because people are so isolated we want to make sure that they will do the voting. We could be arrested for trust perry seeing. One a shotgun blasted, police and police dogs fired the way. The minister was bitten, and 11 arrested. They cant face it, when the dog sunkissed fangs, he sank his things into my ankle. They were pushed around, folded leave town but never arrested. City officials gave jail sentence as to eight, after they declared they had no grounds for protest. No discrimination on the right to vote, and no attempt to be clearly demonstrated before they had the trouble on the 27th of march. From the 1st of march to the 24th, 200 made the application to register. When they had the first demonstration claiming that they were being deprived, they demonstrated that they registered in less than a month. Yet leaders have succeeded, and only 50 out of 15 applicants. They expected to make substantial gains with government support. The Justice Department has bought 42 voting Discrimination Suit in the south since 1961. 12 of them in mississippi. But the most ingenious was filed last spring weather double naacp to enforce a long dormant provision of the United States constitution. Sex and two of the 14th amendment will take a proportion of congressional seats from any state which denies voting rights. The section is that weve been applied. The answer is still in the courts. Last month, mississippi nick rose tried a new legal move. They marched in the democratic primaries carrying ballots and affidavits, declaring they had been illegally denied registration. It did not work. The state ruled the attempt in legal. But leaders say the challenges will continue. If it were left to me, i would lean toward having federal troops in force the right to vote for new growth in the south. The situation is that serious. It is that complicated and this stubbornness of the registrar and resistance of the political machine there and such that i believe federal troops ought to be called out to standard every ballot box, and make sure that every citizen over 21 years an over is not denied their right. The leaders do not want to the coming through legal action and the massive drive to go forward, day by day, county by county, rally by rally. We it has gotten into the hearts. And i see. So you see, they try to tell us a long time ago, that this was an attempt so that black men volume white men are sold. Senator james, democrat of mississippi, filmed this statement specifically for this report. Well of course, the whole thing has stirred up by a group of agitators. We in the south, as economic equality and are well treated. I cannot speak of conditions or new york city. The pushes for social equality, not for economic rights. As far as the south goes, there is full economic equality. Now we sit in the deepest part of the deep south, and blacks or property owners, businessmen, welcome men, there is no discrimination against them at all. Now, the demonstrations are to promote social equality. That is something you cant legislate and you cant force. Various advisers, black and white, or giving advice on what should be the primary objective. Each argues that if that barrier is broken they select the remainder of the barrier will collapse. But the barrier is not uniform. Wherever it is being wherever he has gainful determined what he wants next. While the southern with the black who has a job averages half the amount of whites. They have demonstrated in new york, pittsburgh california and new jersey we this is the construction site in elizabeth, new jersey. They demonstrated will confessing the fact to the building trade union. They want to work on public projects because the money comes from tax dollars as well as the pockets of whites. This demonstration actually began before sunrise, at 60 am only one ticket was present. Having been there all night long, he described his makeshift bed is uncomfortable but Police Called it unlawful. What made you decide to sleep here tonight . I feel that i am black, we should have rights, more security for our selves, for better schooling, when i feel like we have power here, we have one foot in the door and we dont plan to stop. Eventually other demonstrators began to gather in small groups. Which they gathered in a church across the street. Inside clergyman had a sort of pep rally complete with songs and chants. They told them how to avoid trouble and maintain order at all costs. But once outside, it didnt take long for things to get out of hand. Listen to me. Listen to me all right, everybody, get into the church. When you watch demonstrations like this one, a number of questions come to mind about the ideas emotions of everyone involved. One way to look for the answers is to put yourself on the picket line. I guess the first thing that strikes you isnt awareness of pride, tremendous pride. You sense it in all of the people around you, courage also. It may not be much, but it is a personal effort. The strangest part about it is, everybody keeps going. Every one of them must know deep down that there is very little chance that what they want will be given anytime soon. Its Something Like swimming out to sea, no end in sight. No signs to tell you how much farther you have to go. So you just keep going, one stroke or one step at a time. Hoping. Maybe somewhere, some time, a wise man will figure out a better way, and easier way of fighting back. A lot of people here would like that, after a while your feet start hurting, you get tired, you get bored. You start thinking about all the other places, all the other things you would rather be doing right now. But they stay because they are part of something. Maybe the most important something of their whole lives. That does not mean that they are friends or even that they know each other. It goes much deeper than that. Id say it is kind of kinship, the kind that comes from sharing the same foxhole. Come to think of it, this could be just about as dangerous as a foxhole. Another one of those freeforalls might break out at any moment. I bet that thought is crossing minds. Suppose the guy next you slugs a policeman, what would you do . Suppose a policeman slugs you. One thing is for sure, there is no comfort and thinking about it. But as you walk along, you pick up a sense of determination, even stubbornness all around you. You can tell that if trouble comes again, not one person will run away. The fight for more jobs is still going on in many cities including brooklyn. They march, sit or lie down to dramatize their commands. Some get carried away. Those demonstrations and others just like it have fought on a number of fronts to lessen a job bias. Some gains are being made through boycotts or selective buying campaigns. It is expected that the economic boycott will raise place demonstrations as the primary weapon in the fight. This threat has already led some companies to put more blacks on the payroll. Some leaders say not enough companies have adopted that policy. In their eyes, job discrimination is a paramount issue. The reasoning is simple, it takes money to obtain advantages like that or education and housing, that means for millions of black people it is not an equal chance on the job market. The American Dream is beyond reach. Obviously this is all a matter of political concern, a different kind of concern from the south to the north. Rockefeller from new york expects that concern here. As far as legislation is concerned, new york state has been leader in barring discrimination. Everyone has a right to vote. Discrimination in housing, public and private, apprenticeship and access to public places. Our problem in new york now, we had the legislation barring discrimination, our problem now is primarily in the field of employment. The black, puerto rican an other minority groups having the necessary education and training and apprenticeship opportunities which permit them to get into these positions where they have had trouble, did alaska of training and due to discrimination. I think, Real Progress is being made both unions and employers as well as government at all levels and they are uniting to achieve this quality of opportunity for all. Demonstrations in the north have made it clear that the revolution is national, although it has different objectives in different areas, a common goals of elimination of discrimination. Well if you know theyre in cities in ohio have been found guilty of segregating schools boy twisting boundaries and school districts, a far more common discrimination, housing the district is all the parents cant afford. Like dingell would, new jersey. As ankle would schools open for the Academic Year of 1962, months of talk in legal maneuver turn into legal action. A school was picketed, a boycott left it almost empty. None could have been more surprised, angela wood has no racial barriers visible. There are palatial homes, all public facilities are open. There is a block on their blessed base. The fourth wart, it is almost entirely black, this creates de facto segregation and finally some decided to act. We couldnt live in that because of the various constitutions of these organizations. A group of us got together or decide on angle would movement. We got just about ready, we said we needed someone to coordinate this movement. As we call them. I think that what we are trying to do with this movement is to crystallized the complete contempt and lack of respect, which is more or less shown toward blacks in suburban areas such as this. The one thing also that should be perfectly clear, the white liberal in the north is very upset about this movement because this is the first time that there will be outcry against Racial Discrimination in a suburban area where the wind black population is not the majority. The same liberals did not complain about mass rallies in harlem, but they will complain when it comes to close to their backyard. The same liberals will send 25 dollars to desegregate and georgia, but will call names if we are trying to desegregate and bring equality next door to them. The rally drew thousands. And that gave way to new determination. The white power structure we could get a few doctors in a preacher and a lawyer or to and bring them in the back door. People say that i wheel and deal, lets face one thing, we are in the big leagues now. Anybody who wants to play fair, you have the token integration that goes with it, the token freedom that goes with it. I wanted all, i want it now, not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow im going to fight for it. The fact show segregation at Lincoln School was officially ended. 70 other cities in northern and western states still have to solve the problem. So far we have seen the revolution is nation wide and a long time in the making. We have seen that it has five major objectives, equality for blacks in education, employment, housing, the vote and the same treatment as the others. We have seen the fight is more for equal treatment and the vote in the south, more for employment and housing in the north, education in all areas. They are challenging discrimination. We have seen a changing self, that blames a lot of its troubles on northern agitators. While the north wants the self to change, they are often quite reluctant to change on their own. We have established the origins of civil disobedience, now we are about to examine that actually means to simply disobey. Every revolution has its marching, and it was forged into a powerful weapon for unity and inspiration
