My mother got down sick in 53 and she lived with me, an invalid, until she passed away in 1961. And during the time she was staying with me sometime I would be worked so hard I couldn't sleep at night.

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.

In fact, one day I was going to Jackson and I saw a huge sign that U.S. Senator John Stennis was speaking that night for the White Citizens Council in Yazoo City and they also have a State Charter that they may set up for "private schools." It is no secret.

I was in jail when Medgar Evers was murdered and nothing, I mean nothing has been done about that.

We didnt come all this way for no two seats when all of us is tired.

We are here to work side-by-side with this "black" man in trying to bring liberation to all our people!

A black woman's body was never hers alone.
