All the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, into our schools, our churches and our places of recreation and amusement.

I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigra race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches.

We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race.
