of all if you didn't have to be around only around and then if you will around in the tournament there's always to tell you know it eases the mice about the navy's ceo of the group remain low why do you so yes or no answer yes melanoma and the salinity you know if he were indicating that is obviously on the procession of about maybe it you know i guess the reason to lose a lot the ponemon the purpose be the lifetime you know as long as it does it pretty you know when this all you know as hang on this will oh candace business is a beautiful thing you know or was stalin was able to all of the hard work and you have to do in order to get it to grow and there was
a stock the barn in every play and know when you really really dread especially drennan back one especially first thought all know is pretty white and you just look at that fill out that this is a beautiful sight to see but now laid on going into the year one afternoon or a cannon into a song called cool kind of this odd environment identity about by the outside but has a group of dissidents by sour prig well to me it one hard because i didn't have to do that although i used to know i didn't want and people are the victim or the number of and he was only because he was pleased with this you know that they just couldn't do it in the south do we talk about the way
that the white man and thought they were protecting white woman about the war was going well i think that the call was her novice aviv though cd you know the white man he a hero in order and then i said and what i mean by standards that you know you do with it so we didn't want to be around here long because he knew that he was one of fourteen she knew where he was going and it told our house to love by some of the you know that some of those blacks under wall's gone with some of the white ones but it was like the day he can say that because of the sedentary longer waste so he had you not involving what to do or not someone what would make them there's a warm fall they want to unlock and anyone can announce it because i needed to talk to a lawyer
though he wanted to get away from work because he knew that his mom was curious you know she was about us because there's a lot they got to stand you know standard blacks a strong you know a big strong man he is better than just gotten better than that you know that's true what happened and a lot of tap he couldn't do well what we'll have even if you stepped out alone one and it used to go out a white woman in a scene that she didn't manage your season at the wall you might be bad because you can control my elizabeth wallen of uncontrolled me but if he said something you as long as a you are in the column has a towel oh it's
back to prison why my family why the way they can pitch well miles or whistles to seek answers from around nineteen and fifty or fifty one and now she had been trying to get the rest of the family to welcome down there so they no wonder how long we saw the migrating from the south come into the no and no but they want a tunnel out of the nighttime i came to show that we can just muscles so it also says we came in nineteen fifty seven after my brother came in for the fact the mccain because he was on how and when he lay off we really have a weak and why won't be won a role so that's one reason that i came to chicago to be around a row of devotion for phones well as much different oh oh because in mississippi
the housing they whistle for colorado you know you do have you know one unwanted was sent to what ya'll house out back and no and then when i came to chicago found out that you know that there was a different or running water in the house in the houses looked it'll look at that and know the house in school so you know you have much privacy oh i can just thought was we'd get ahead in this hour well it was totally different well i mean you're from a city or histories desiree bad enough and on a tear down on the city where we came from the account to chicago when he went to ohio and almost came to chicago went anywhere say well we came along we move in las vegas no one was hurt them into this awesome and i have been be true but there's an idea that a son and i was in a mine was as a zionist
religious leaders <unk> is a frightening was that you know because i guess because i don't know in the streets and when alice and analysts also say some songs out and wanted to go was it was it was it for you know even as a young boy yemen or less taboo to you have to say yes or even after that they did a little bit if you have a field below the free europe well you know i really didn't think about it at the particular time you know because all the idea you know i just come in contact with whites when i came to chicago when i went on a regular basis because i was eleven years old when i came to chicago and know of the end you know the soil and rows of and rose to head know everyone just thought you know i mean most most unlikely into trouble there that we've had around forty four to thirty three there was a lot of stores around a regular basis the winner to be a story in the cities you know in industrial fire
and they mostly the workers and that was back because of the smell but all black hair and so so no it didn't even though it didn't really affect me because i asked you know honesty respect of the bells because of the way community you know when you when you first saw that he had family for some the pages of emmett till now infected well the first song the yellow pages of into to all it seemed until until really until i came to chicago and also in the oil and development entergy it and when a saudi it affected me because it made me realize that says let it happen to you know it could happen to me but the only about this morning that offered them a big deal for him because i don't
that's more than most places dr johnson and in the end so you know talking to locals as much softer only the effect the effect on you how i feel you know it didn't say we know you saw him and just you know got a lot of it will you the pieces of a pattern for one last all kinds of images in effect in the articles i realized you know he's a young innocent oh no they are not lost his life in the real and that you know all because of an awkward semi sales and a state that even the one thing about you know i don't know how often he had a coming out that he had been adamant about loss or twice before this happened to you but unless someone who knows what it told me that he didn't even realize what he was when he was the one and i saw
that when i was so unjust unjust to listen you know when you feel the result that they don't know that that happened to an awesome person and any just it's just does i want to time me on this all i think a lot of the same way a wave of animal us but all it goes on all day the fifth these euro as you get ones is telling the story and go and you know the cells store from from the beginning you know of what you earn and that you know before liu stuff
only for the people ok we'll quiet religious right is very good so there's a piece by and yet understand is that set the scene for me you know how old you were was it how was it called summer you know we'll have more on what that no skills it was only on once one summer day it was in that of the madness that was an almost all i will i've heard little boys come from is the marlins' oil sugar they went by the end of this wreckage they'll cultural in our boys on the bikes <unk> hollering so at that
particular time i stop and send the road and ran into the house until my mom of what i heard so you know as being the key to go until the summer than we didn't she didn't bring them like this as you say okay and now i will now sadly and then a couple days later we found out that all the hate mail went down and gratitude of milan branch head of what that the two hundred ninth full drawl almost white house and picked up on his grandson which was into it yet allowed in the chest or you know in india lot of thing for the us to find out what happened at that particular time my mother told me just you know be quiet don't say anything else because she don't want word to get out there i know if they operate in a day because they see fit she felt that then they won't come after me in lebanon were the first things that appeal among the missiles also has been there now
