One of the things i have learned in becoming more familiar with the African American experience, and racial violence in this country, is oftentimes, lynching and racial violence i thought to be random things. Someone whos in the wrong place at the wrong time, and something was done to this person. Whats your follow fathers murder remind this olive is in most instances, violence that was frequented on African Americans was not random, it was meant to attack and target people that were the most successful, because there were people in White Communities who did not like symbols of success, like your father. How does that play into the story of your father, and the book that you wrote, which sister has put up on your screen. Certainly makes us aware that these things are still happening. When the lunches occurred, they had their faces and make people not know who they were. At times they were being led by other officials. It appears that the same kind of thing is going on, right now. I dont want people to think that this is something that is happening in the past, it is still going on. We had the Funeral Service for john lewis several weeks ago. We lost a great man, and one of the comments that was shared by former president bill clinton, was off the mark about carmichael. About the student, nonviolent committee, going in the wrong direction. You had mentioned stoically and the work being done in alabama. It was a different organizing that you got from other civil rights organizers in alabama or elsewhere that time. Something different from the nonviolent philosophy from Martin Luther king. Can you speak on that . Definitely. The kind of violence that was being spoken of and work through with dr. King could not, would not have worked in miles county. These people had to know that once you strike us, we would strike back. , black power and he said he did not want people to think that he was taking black power as white power. Using the advantage of the masses. Being able to get together and use their numbers as that is when he felt the black power. Dr. Jeffrey book, entitled buddy allowance. You see a lady sitting there with a shotgun. These people were shoe them do their chest until they show they would issue that. The non violence and the hatred that was being exaggerated would not have solved anything. Lyons county played a particular role in the voting struggle. Salmon to the West Montgomery to the east. Nantes county became the place if you didnt want to be out on the road after dark, is my understanding. Plans county became a safe haven where people came overnight and seek shelter in the community. Can you talk about that. The rosa played in the county for organizers and others. Several families on their own homes and they can afford to participate. They lost businesses, because they all own homes they could help in the movement more. There was a man named Johnny Jackson will property, he knew that these young man were going to get killed. He had a house and he let these workers live in that house. It is Still Standing as a freedom house. That is one of the ways the county would help to protect workers. We saw on the screen, the cover of doctor jeffries book. These dandridge bore that the organizer is wearing with the black panther. Thank you for bringing that back up again. One overall we will move back on over you. That is a different sentiment that we will overcome. Its interesting that this component of the black Voting Rights struggle, this portion of the history, is less wellknown than other elements. The interesting story is, these folks are lands counting, they are the original black panthers. Freedom organization and the selection of the symbol, the black panther as a political symbol, they got a call from some young men in the bay enchantresses go around opened a year so leader. Ask me they can adopt that symbol for their use for something never gonna call the black panther party. Competition about that history. I wanted to go to you and we are talking about the 19th amendment, womens suffrage, and wanted to get your thoughts on womens suffrage mark that took place in washington, d. C. , in 1913. It was a march to press for the medication for the right to him in the vote. It was a segregated march. What role did African American women play, what lower they forced to play that event. The march was organized by young organizer at the time, he had witnessed the Suffrage Movement in england, which was much more in your faith and radical than it was over here in the united states. She was geared up to make sure that the woman came from all over the country to gather in washington d. C. For this march. There was delegation from where wells lived she came along and was prepared to march with him. Washington d. C. Is a southern parts of the country. So the organizers approached and said to the black women who are going to be part of it, including the newly formed status or sorority. That they would not be able to march alongside, they would have to march in the back, behind. It was the segregated period, so that they would not offend those legislators, those people in washington d. C. Who could not fathom having an interracial march because jim row was still enforced. Ida b. Wells did not go with that, she was not going to be marching towards the back, she did not join the march won the delegation of her stayed moved out at first. When they came by she slipped on in and months ride along with them. Mary church cheryl took another route of compliance, they did march in the back of the parade. Whats that story shows to all of us
