Rami Khouri used to work right down the street from Jackson State for a month in January of 69 and one thing that impressed me very strongly about the state of affairs in Jackson Mississippi is that there is virtually no flow of people into it. That is to say people will come from Jackson to the north or they will come from Jackson. Elsewhere but. People are not going to that part of Mississippi at least it's definitely an outflow. Consequently it's very very a depressed area natural. You know it's just it's you know
very cheap place to live. Oh you poor thing. All right. I. Want to. Thank you. All you want. To thank you. I have a plaque. And I. Have a. Lot. Of. People A.
Lot. Of hype. I got what. I. Got. What I want to. Do. I get. Like I. Can.
Talk to her when. I had to go out. Thank. God. For today. Thank you God. When I. Was going to have a much better. I. Want. To. Talk Ira. OK. All. Right. And I. Thought I. Was. Going to have. The.
Opportunity. To have of. Course. It really struck me for one thing because I was just in Jackson a week ago at oh a women's conference. And during the time we were there in a camp near Jackson everyone kept saying you know not to leave because it you know never could tell what people would do around there and I remember feeling feeling awful. I think I'm feeling confronted with my own racism my own fear of being in the midst of a lot of black people who might hate me or you know who who are angry angry at women getting together in the south and the same thing struck me when I heard about the death. I felt my immediate reaction was we. Are more gifted and scale you know car that same. Awareness of my own distance from black people being my own shaman at that.
Moment I thought about all the more it sunk in frustration sorrow. You know like I feel you know like physically I can't help but. I try to make my so I can say forget about it because I can't forget about it. I try to condition myself. I try to make myself. Like. As much as like. Two. Things like this used to affect me because. I do feel very powerless because I realize that there isn't. Really anything I can do. To. Bring them back to life or bring all the other people who've never done a humbug. Like that. To
my. Like it's more of an indication to me. Of like. Several greater problems. Such as this. This whole country. And the way. I would oppress its people. And. It indicates to me something. Even more that. Could be. A lot sadder. And that's the fact that people have become. So. Apathetic. It's an indication also of. More things to come. And even more types of overt oppression. Oh. Come on. What if I could thank. You.
THANK YOU THANK GOD WHY DID. They want to thank you. Now what. To do what. Do you want to be. Why do I want to think they were going to write you that they could but I want to. Thank. God that both thank you for what you will be what I want to

Description
Description
This program discusses the events that occurred at Jackson State College in Jackson, Mississippi on May 14 and 15, 1970. A group of Jackson State College students were protesting the May 4th shooting at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio where four students were killed by the Ohio National Guard during a demonstration against the Vietnam War. During the Jackson State College protest, the police ordered the students to disperse and started firing shots into the crowd. Phillip Lafayette Gibbs, a junior, and James Earl Green, a student at Jim Hill High School, were killed and twelve others injured by Jackson city police and Mississippi state troopers. On June 13, 1970, President Richard Nixon formed the President's Commission on Campus Unrest to investigate the incident. The Commission investigated the incident and gathered witness testimony. However, no one was arrested or convicted in connection with the deaths.
