The San Francisco human rights march

It was homes was sold to with. Your. Home. July 12th 1964 the day before the opening of the Republican National

Convention 35000 persons marched up Market Street in San Francisco and held a mass rally in Civic Center peacefully quietly solemnly. They marched to tell the convention delegates that they wanted a strong civil rights point in the platform. But even more they marched to tell the Republicans that they did not want Senator Barry Goldwater for president or even for the Republican presidential nominee. They had other purposes. But these were foremost the march and rally were called by the church Labor Council composed of the Baptist ministers Union the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance and the new Labor assembly. When the marchers reached Civic Center William Chester the International Longshoremen's and warehouse Min's Union welcomed them on behalf of the conference. His talk listed the marchers purposes and set the tone for the speeches which followed. The words.

We asked to demonstrate to the delegates to the Republican bench of the party of Abraham Lincoln. I returned to our presidential candidate Senator Barry Goldwater. His vote against the civil right and the right formerly represent him for. Senator Byrd was one of the last third of the running for the White Citizens Council their term Birch Society and the racism that the president the Republican in the Democratic Party. The same forces are responsible for the murder of murder over the bombing of the former will not grow to number 10 and from the school when Obama and the civil rights leaders who are known missing in Mississippi the same forces

who are Muslim so instead of a lot of them the same forces who pretend to be against the coming third and teach in our country today. And it isn't turning them these are the same forces that subdomain murdered and prober turned up today. We want to see more of the delegates to the Republican convention that we have nothing against the Republican Party but we want the nation and the world to know that Senator Goldwater. There's money to be a candidate for president of the United States. Was found. Particular the great emancipator.

We demonstrate to make known to the world at work. And we do manage. To demonstrate our support for Human Rights Commission and anyone. No racial discrimination and. We the People know that we do. We need.

Some of that. Oh of. Course we were. Position me having segregation.

And the fight with dignity and humanity that we were still together today. Thank you for. The next speaker was a Philip Randolph of the Negro American Labor Council and President of the sleeping car porters of America. Well Jeremiah Wright followed the letter like that one. I am happy to share it with a great writer. And author that we might be better known to the people of America and the world that I meet rule. Well nobody could tell. I mean there will be we're going

through tough citizenship in this country. We also want to read your stuff the reforms that led coalition of opposition to the nomination of Senate up already go on the far. Right. Cannot see how any role without a sense of self respect will have a very pretty from some to relieve them due the slightest consideration of the American goal warm up up president of the United States. Already growing up constitutes a great danger.

Through the border to go through. I'll call it an arguer. This location is not that dangerous. Then that's not just the US. Ruben the president of the Confederacy. I do with responsible for the enslavement of the negro. Wellstone really must stand absolutely immovable against the effort on the part of the racists and the kind of drag before upon America. Account or of the type of Barry Goldwater. Far. Oh you're going to mix the most civil rights revolution. It's a great revolution. The purpose of this revolution is to effect the transition from the start of top

second trough to the friendship the first clawfoot of NJ. That's the purpose of the revolution. I think that's only you must mobilize all forces like annoyed all over the nation and all of that we have received was not affected. Well we had be successful in securing the enactment of civil rights legislation on this issue but a great victory. I have already took a one week old anger what are never going to be the kind of trade we're going to equality and freedom and of human dignity heard what really must make the flooding of the flood affected. Ramos implemented resolute the legislation and the only way Margaret if you can implemented this legislation I will move a migration

of your own. Oh. I may be exiting the show no matter how wrong. All with this notion on an order that all of the production in the country will realize that it's not enough to un-American legislation but it must be inflow. And a fetish and offer our. I never knew you were going on. I mean that is one of the reasons why you are here today or I want to congratulate the leader of the civil rights movement up on this demonstration and I hope that this will not be them off. But all of the great white at the head of the legislature no not going to I'm sure in the millennium. Your still must fight for the money on your must work for the money on

your most all I'm going to hire for the money of your most money or the money. Thank you very much. Speaker is well known to all of the citizens of San Francisco and the Bay Area here. You're president of the modern California are the Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People representing Mr. Royle movement an exciting second tour of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Robin Hood of. Freedom loving. The fact you know.

My good. Church restroom. And the name of freedom. Began with the words of Abraham Lincoln. Who said a long time ago that to remain silent is the epitome of cowardice. We're here this afternoon to read you our resentment. Against the nominee for the presidency of the United States of America. Mr. Barry Goldwater are our. And I direct my remarks to the religious and the non-religious. I feel sorry he's out there talking about prayer.

But in the name of Christianity I took my stand this afternoon in saying that in November. They will not be coming to prayers. They have become. Far. And hearts will be restless. And tell every man worked as though everything depends on the man. And the praise though everything depends on God. Until that moment. We will be restless until justice flow like a mighty stream. And righteousness like an ever flowing river. The next speaker is a man or woman this past Friday

was released from jail at Alabama. He is one of the greatest young Negro leaders of our time. He is a nice hotel room of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Mr. John Moore. Mr. Chairman. Ladies and talk. Yes indeed a great pleasure to be here. You just said it. Now Ravi I thought I was in Mississippi I mean Alabama. I thought so I mean a whole lot of bands around the airport. But the past three weeks. I worked in Selma Alabama. And across the state of Mississippi. I personally witnessed devastating accident Teleki and terminate. I have

inspected the wrong branch not truth with a very beautiful bottom ministration meeting I was seeing sort of some of the simple ones to read of the book go first and drink in anguish. As a police officer and a costly member skillful It looked like he looked like our promise that I may be going to most of the everything of the body. It is very painful to watch them all farmer our native son and a commitment to law and order disintegrated to the point of very are the state of Mississippi is one of constant fear terror and violence. Not only for the Negro but also for those white who stand up for justice and complete freedom. This is a step this is more than a police state decision that exists in this state. Amounts to the automaton are and passed the state

democratic process is not working in the state on the Pacific or. Section 504 and Pollock 18 of the United States code make it a crime to interfere with a right to vote in a person in any way interfere with the right. When you go to vote in Mississippi I mix up crime against a part of a government economist and much of a crier as governor Mack Guardsmen who walked into a bank in Iraq if we witnessed these crimes daily in the state of Mississippi at this very moment somewhere you will hear how some of them taught us reckon with the people in the Senate along with several hundred other negro and my student teaching in freedom schools staff and community the Senate during the often didn't work I want to read history if you will know more than anyone else how important it is to have massive federal

intrusion about tech not only the better ministration record but justice and I missed the sniper who must be only have ever worked in a snippet out that Osama is over. Both the Republican and Democratic Party must decide now if I get a European government whether they will take action to ensure the negro right to vote on whether they will make up and witness to mentor not only of the idea of all racial justice in America but to actually mention a civil rights problem to have been a citizen of Mississippi Masala Mississippi across but on an American Cross. No political party kind of speck to something that nominates a man like Barry Goldwater for the presidency of the United States. Oh what a leader of a new growth of Alabama and Mississippi in him by Governor

Wallace Governor Johnson the Ku Klux Klan the price of a summer house in the time Great Society. Do we need your candidate for the Presidents what approach to food will place them in. Like I ever go water do we need a candidate for the presidency. Who pays Thanks Michael with human rights. No we need a man who will use of presidential powers to set a domino while a secular government talks about human rights and human beings are going to be you know out of the day already. As we have suffered during the past four years. We have come to the conclusion that segregation continues not because of a handful of people but because the larger community is made up of people of goodwill having made a side and in effect given a constant threat of the system. We've been at a point in our history where we must to stop treating freedom and tyranny it soon will be made here this week it will be made at the

Democratic convention in August. But we made our people support our poles are remaining silent on the issue I formant of the civil rights march will be made by the people who vote and do not vote in November and whatever we decide turning our freedom now can be no turning right. Better off or worse. Freedom loving people out of the stuff and all over this nation have made understood they know what they are born and the road they must take the risks that destination. And I'm the most increased more sophisticated officer that a fetus in both the north and that's going to be heard coming from law enforcement let alone turn your head. But no you've already. Given the Sopoaga that assist talk to the market no foul man and quite the contrary. The far off it is an already set up my people

take it easy be patient and wait let us back something up for you stay upright. It is an honor to accept my offer to somebody. You cannot do you cannot you cannot build you cannot work you cannot study here you cannot read us to go into the further away it is going to hold up among people to me and we have a moral obligation to provide the service for a while this is no at all. Now we have them oh let's deal Turdus and postpone jail sentence and how to find Stuart up close to not even put here to beat about most of the scales of justice. This is a tool as a gear not only in a file but it is service that is. I don't know if some members of the press. And some of the Goldwater supporters have accused the movement of being a communist defense 5 but how I'm going to take America to realize that we do not need anyone to tell us that we know Oprah

was. According to some people. Writing to some people everything we want is communist. I mean this is the person I probably have been a victim. OK tempted to register to vote. Reading the newspaper that was a comment if she was so used to hearing everything the movement's last stand for some of the students by a few toll went to work especially with that black becoming a father rise so we can start making some progress. We do not need only get a dollar to tell us that we live in a police state in Alabama and Mississippi. But the new Civil Rights Act. We must continue. You like every nonviolent means for more to come to steal from our nation. It made the new Civil Rights Act necessary. That. We have a mandate from construe the mandate from the Founding Fathers up both political parties to do everything

possible right. Ya know there today to meet justice and freedom. Oh yeah I could not tell for some of the people but for all of the people. Oh it was Larry. Conversely. I. Threw out the ceremony's increasing numbers of persons in the crowd had been chanting We want Burbridge meaning Nathaniel Burbridge of the San Francisco and double ACP when the Rev. Hamilton Boswell rose to introduce James Farmer of core the chant rose to a crescendo. I never said. I never great. Don't resent me. And courageous man would want it to. Get a man parking lot near you. Buddy you are forgetting one goal.

On the night but a big THANK YOU OH GOD. He rose and held his diary. No army. Can stop the screams of an Audi. Who've come have come. Representing them. Our bill was coming down. You know around us. One of the many great men of courage representing they are going through. Mark come up plus neighbor and friend. Who is putting his head in the moment of a membership in the sun and damp the. Mold. That was a week wow ok. Right

right. Go home. Thank you my friend Rev. Bowman. Mr. Turner on extending your staff. Ladies and gentleman. Oh magnificent where we're standing a few months ago a few minutes ago that Gordon's going to trouble the Law Order. Well we're going to trouble them don't want to invest in your car and told her you know the backlash that people have been talking about World War is the undertow that would wreck the ship of state down. I am going lighter to see so many faces black and white than brown people representing the only turns on all races in all countries.

This is America. This is the face of freedom. This is the place that is confronting the Republican party app gets done from both in the real America and the Republican incumbents one must listen and hear. If it does not hear him go then I had him nominate Barry Goldwater then the Republican Party is sounding its own death. Now the nomination. I hate to see anybody or any organization commit suicide. I hope they will listen to the Years ago I was in London at a press conference there. They ask of course if Goldwater was the kind of help for president don't you think negroes are in trouble.

I said Of course we're in trouble. That's a bit of what I mean is this. You would have all overweight people lined up with both daughter and only the negroes against him that is the only adulterated nonsense. The people will vote. I'm oh my god daughter it all countries all over the world. You. They're the comes who supported the initiative in California. I think they have an organization here now they call themselves PCa and yes. What is that supposed to be. Parents. And time to go to say OK. We have a group similar to that in New York that calls itself a teen parents and park care they come off supporting Goldwater. Well we have borrowed a slogan from Richard Nixon you know that slogan here we can't stand pat.

Now my friends what happened to that negro colonel in Georgia just yesterday morning as he was shot with two shotgun lights. What happened to a missing work of the day what happened to the four children in Birmingham. What happened to the rabbi and his two colleagues who were brutally beaten in with a pig. Those things all stimulated by the kind of people segregationists who are backing Goldwater. If this man is nominated you will find that oh maybe extreme segregation of the bigots will be crawling out of the woodwork in the months that lie ahead. They will be running around here from here that all they have a person to rally around that was a junior senator from Wisconsin by the name of McCarthy.

They have been happening left and right on it since then. Now they will be were rallying around Barry Goldwater are all and so if I'm older and more right wing like this we must rally around the idea of freedom. We must insist. That if the Republican Party wants to commit suicide we will not go down with it. Now the point against gold bars is the fight for freedom and against segregation all over the country including San Francisco. Now over here hundreds of you many of you here in the audience who were arrested some time ago in your city and your nonviolent demonstrations are going through the courts. Many of you have been given 60 days or 90 days after the overturn sentences in my opinion I think that a word ought to be said about the

judicial system of the city of San Francisco. All words simply fail provoke someone told to. All words should be said about the whole system in the courts the way the people have been harassed. Under the orders that have been given to the jury is the fact that Negroes have been systematically excluded from the jury in San Francisco. Yes my friend. We need to be concerned about this and the Republican Party after its convention must be concerned. Let them talk about state's rights if they want to. Goldwater Third he is fighting against discrimination but he is for states rights. Reserved them freedom. But he voted against the Civil Rights Bill. This kind of double talk. We will not tolerate any loan

off of mum and the phone and in the North must come to the phone of the Republican convention. Let us tell them if they are concerned with the people then come up with their program. I think the rotten rotten crap slums you know northern city. Let us count them if they're concerned about the people then come up with a program to provoke a jolt for all people like NY own of the country. And if they ask where the money is coming from. We know the answer to that. Very simple. Let's just get a couple of shots to the moon. We have billions of dollars. I'm not going to go to that moon anyway because I'm afraid that by the time I get that Barry Goldwater and company will have a second leg. Oh my friend.

Let me urge you not only up Lord but I would like to see every one of you out on the picket line tomorrow morning at the phone. By Let your voices be heard. Let your voices be heard by the Republicans. And then later in Atlantic City by good Democrats. Remember you're broke or not in anybody's best. OK you're both on your own now and got a clue John. If the Republican Party and nominate Barry Goldwater we won't need to ask for whom the bell tolls. The boom pole call them. And if Barrick Gold bought off. From Will. Be enacted. Do not hold for you. And oh America oh no Both my friend thank you very much. As Mr Farmer finished his speech for leading Republicans arrived to address the meeting

they were introduced by Jackie Robinson. Ladies and gentlemen. I have the pleasure of presenting to you know who are man now who have been in the fight for civil rights. We've got a small party for a long period of time. Men who have believed in the dignity of man and are trying to do something about it and I think that all of us today should be proud. I think you know I'm on the take the time to come in here and say hello to us at this critical period of our lives. And believe me we are in a critical period. I have been told that there are some who are just this third that some of the comments that I have been making that are Senator Goldwater is the nominee I will support President Johnson. The. I want everybody to understand one thing I am an American Negro first before I am a member of any party. In the earth. And I want them to know we're. All the people here in this

country and who are disturbed because I don't. Mean anything. There are hundreds of thousands I feel strongly about it. Then they've got to take a real good look at themselves to see that. We are not going forward. At least we will not stand silently. Or in a major party. Nominee to get a man who in my opinion. And a man who will attempt to prevent us from moving forward. Because. At this time I don't ever want to you know. I am happy you're working for one of the great Americans of our time.

This country was. Working for the poor he even thought about going into. Iraq afar. Jackie Robinson. Distinguished leaders. Of the American civil rights movement and fellow American. Jackie Robinson. From New York.

Basta like. Myself for coming here today but I want to thank you for coming here today. Good. This is AMERICAN MORNING. This is a very historic occasion. We can fight. But we live. In a country where the freedom to gather and to express our view. You'll hear this I have to know I've done just that in the most dignified and the finest American tradition. Americans. Who believe deeply in those basic qualities. But to have the individual equality of opportunity for all Americans. And you are simply coming here at this time of this gathering of the Republican going

to venture to express your deep concern and your hopes and aspirations that those aspirations and those concerns will be recognized in the great tradition of Abraham Lincoln and the tradition of the Republican Party. At the end of that let me say that we who represent New York State at this convention share your beliefs your faith and your aspirations and we're here to fight the jihad and to save their racket. Very briefly ladies and gentlemen very briefly the record of the Republican Party. Thanks. I'm talking about the record the record of the Republican Party from the time of Abraham

Lincoln from the time of the white the Eisenhower the first civil rights legislation since the reconstruction days in 1957. And ladies and gentlemen you all remember what happened when that legislation was before the Senate that had come over from the House of Representatives. That was a motion to sidetrack that legislation to the Eastland committee they traditional graveyard of civil rights. And so prominent Democrats and the present Democratic administration the great late Senator Kennedy and the present president of the United States both voted to transmit that legislated to the Eastland Committee laid it in jeopardy and it was a man like Senator Javits and Senator Keating who made possible the passage of that first civil rights. And then in the last campaign those of us who are here today we thought to have been the

Republican Party platform a strong civil rights plank the most progressive advance that there had ever been in either party in the history of our country and the Democratic Party at. That time and during the campaign pledge that they would make affective civil rights legislation. The first order of business and I ask you what happened. Nothing. Nothing footsore hears until it had been massive demonstrations and human suffering from one end of this country to the other. Nothing was done by the Democratic administration until you up until you acted throughout this country. And then finally 1960 while I dislike I was glad I don't. Ladies and gentlemen I'm giving you the record. As Ausmus said let's look at the record. Right. All right ladies and gentlemen let me go on. The 1964 legislation was passed in the house with 80 percent of the

Republicans supporting it and in the Senate. Thank you. And in the Senate 82 percent of the Republicans supported it and the lady said oh so fought day in and day out and handily maneuvering on the sly just like Senator Javits and Senator Keating who are sitting here on the platform. Your friends are mine right. Now we gather here today and I would like to read to you from a statement I issued this morning. This is the second ladies and gentlemen. That Dr. platform presented today by the Resolutions Committee of the Republican Party is not only an addict but that if. It fails to present the thinking on the beliefs of the deep concerns of the overwhelming majority of the Republican Party. For the Republican Party at this time to retreat from its disparate stand for

civil rights equality of opportunity human dignity in order to police a narrow doctrinaire minority is inconceivable and would be a portrayal of I as a Brit I don't care. The whole Republican convention must make clear expand on this a civil disturbing reports have been circulating that the convention itself will not be permitted to consider these and many other specific items individually on the floor. To get at this convention. Don't forget at this convention ladies and gentlemen would be a travesty not only for the delegates here assembled but for the American people who are looking to this Republican National Convention as a deliberative responsible assembly to forward the policies that will govern the party for the next four years.

That is right the forces of moderation the forces of moderation have fought valiantly within the platform committee despite the obvious odds against us. I and others. Are the moderates because under the leadership of Governor Scranton will continue to fly on the floor of the convention in every way possible to bring these issues before the party and they are going to take up this fight this battle for principle is one to which I have been long committed and to which I still continue my every half life. Ladies and gentlemen. And closing ladies and gentlemen I want to say on behalf of all of us. That your appearance here today your dedication the fundamental principles your

dedication to those rights of equality for all Americans have been an inspiration to this convention. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Farai. And now ladies and gentlemen a man that we all admire a man who will return will help preserve our freedoms here. Ambassador long odds will now speak to you Ambassador. Our thanks Mr. Chairman. Reverend working. Governor Rockefeller. Going to have a son of the Keating distinguished guests and fellow Americans I want to congratulate you first on this magnificent meeting it's a great thing for all of us.

And I want to say that welcome no sanction but justice delaying is justice denied and justice has been delayed a long long time. It is therefore good for the family play an equal opportunity be made available to all of my negro Fellow Americans. This involves. Civil rights. And everything that depends on government. And I'd like this link. But it involves more than that. One of the things it involves. Is education. Slum cleric's is going you'll. Hear nineteen hundred and sixty three. Nearly four million

American children between the ages of 13 and 17 were ready no school of thought. Oh no that's a different thing you're just as wrong as you can be heard. I think we ought to have a Marshall Plan for offsetting stand for off girls. We ought to make it possible for every child to have a proper education so that he can take his proper place in American life. That word American means freedom and it means equality. Or if you want to put it another way it needs freedom and it means brotherhood and that brotherhood is a good word. I'm glad you're here joined with you here. And making

testimony of my belief that the cause of the American negro should be dealt with. Quickly and it should be dealt with fairly. And it can be done and it can be done right. And good luck and thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentleman I assure you I assure you that the only reason that there are no Democrats up there is because this is a Republican convention and we have invited some Democrats who couldn't make it here today. But nevertheless I think it's important that these men hold means so much to our American way of life have this opportunity to say a few words to you. We have we have here now the final two on at least my

part of this program. Man from New York who have dedicated themselves. To the same struggle that youre hiring here for today. First we have the senior senator from the state of New York. And I think any of you who have followed politics at all and who have followed the course of civil rights at all know and understand that if not the greatest The STILL rights fighter in the Senate today if not one of the greatest senators and the Senate that they at least he is very much near the top. And I man but I have nothing but the greatest respect and admiration for Senator Jack Javits of New York. Like a Jackie Robinson novel Rockefeller my colleague Senator Keating.

And ladies and gentlemen I am here to Baghdad to keep my eye on the book as I know you are where interested in a strong civil rights quiet in the Republican Party by Paul Patton. And I am interested in the speaking the soul and despaired of our nation which is one of Justice and the soul of the spirit of our party the Republican Party which is the party of Lincoln and I don't want my colleagues on this convention going to get it. And you're helping us. And as for hourly to make that clearly understood I cannot help and I'm sure my colleague Senator Keating would feel the same wire but become a pest around way with the great march in Washington of August 28 1963. One of the most inspiring and effective demonstrations ever staged by any

people I'm a great national problem. And I attribute I attribute the final of my commendable civil rights I get my being 64 of all women considerable measure the backmarkers and to the tremendous support work of some of the Right Cause I've had from a clergyman a homer on this platform and this nation which at last has awakened in the making to the fact that civil rights and the right of minorities is about the maro problem which has been a blot upon the moral scratching of our our country which is an intolerable in which we cannot person bear. Our gang because we have become in like years very realistic and we are beginning to speak in a very practical political terms let us understand there's two things that are critically important in your meeting. One what the Republicans do what they candidate does what bagpipe form provides will have a very

important effect upon the Democrats by the way which this country run. If we were all moved over to the right very strongly but Democrats will be moved over to the right too just as we were well and this isn't going to be very good for the country on some rides. And second and very important like no one party in the Congress is going to pass a civil rights bill and this is not the last bill 164 will have to pass the law it's going to be done on housing and on education. Have I just. Wouldn't. Finally you're not going to get anywhere by hitting people over the head. You only make them get their backs up. What we're trying to do today and has great meeting is to protest our deep convictions on our big belief and although not our hate for our fellow man. There are thirteen hundred delegates have got on here your voices and

feel your heart stuff is made out of watching very fast car. And my colleagues and I are going to turn and pledge to you that what every ounce of offspring with every bit of our talent with every note of inspiration that we got in my stuff we will fight this battle up on the floor of the convention knowing that we fight for the soul of our party and the soul of America by car. And finally ladies and gentlemen you heard this senator the senior senator from New York. I would just like to say this and also survey. These are not just words. He has been demonstrating all of his career and beliefs and following through on. And I would like to. Have you and your senator from the

state of you know your step up and say a few words. Ladies and Gentlemen this is a really wonderful. The soul of America is participating in this demonstration for freedom. Matt Frederick must be allowed to mention to the floor the Republican convention. Our nation is at the crossroads of the safety of our nation can take the path that will lead to an era our reconciliation and good feeling among all races and creeds. Are it going to take the path of a British better. Some fire some frustrated and just as the nation is at the crossroads so too is the Republican Party.

This is the party that gave the nation Abraham Lincoln Emancipation Proclamation 38 on the 14th of November Americans to the Constitution. It's the party got to pass the first civil rights law in 80 years. And without the votes of over 80 percent of the members of this party in the Congress the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would not now be our state and I will not let my party turn its back on this record right. I want my party tell me not to follow in the march of human freedom. The Constitution does not have to be spread wormy in order to embrace within its outward provisions everything far

of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Right. Thanks. There is nothing in that noble document which says that the protections of equal opportunity and equal rights must be delegated to the states of Mississippi and South Carolina and Alabama right. And I am certain that the overwhelming majority of the Republican Party want to be true to the heritage of our party. Bored out of the struggle for human freedom. I'm fortunate I am not that confident that our voices will be heard at the convention. But let me tell you right now we shall fight. OK right. We shall not be intimidated. Right.

We shall not be threatened. I am thank you. This great demonstration that they will have our car I command you for the effort you're making and it's better preferably to Jackie to share this occasion with you. Willow makes me cured but we don't talk about what I am really mad at I'm not going to maybe be way way. I know you're. I know you've been standing out there in your heart. We know you're right and we know you're barking up. Well if you were already why don't you go get it.

Have your. Have your can turn. Your attention at this tome I would like to call it from Robin to your Provost the first son Baptist church we will introduce our principles. We go up and grow both with the time and. Then. We come out this. Time to present to you. A man. To have a career a man that I have have a conviction.

MAN WITH A MAN who have been in a jail cell but. Have stayed. Talk not only by his people but other people that well we come at this time to present to you the man. I'd have better call my God and said to preach that off and that we have a leader needs people none other than revenue. I'm not. Yeah him great. Character right here right here. Her condo to have on. I tell you I want to take my minutes. You have the stuff to

know and sell them. One of the civil rights leaders of this community missed the boat bridge. OK then I'll tell you below car to go. Back. Let's listen to Reverend Reverend Abernathy first and then I'll say a few words out. OK right back. With the south to Nome. To witness the true freedom and

equality. We make this witness on the streets of this great city with the hope that we may are out of the contents of America. I don't get the attention of the delegates to the Republican National Convention. I don't come from the south from Atlanta Georgia just send all the steam float up and Birmingham Alabama. And it's Burkhart down south. I'm in the section of the country where it's further I thought I'd say to you that we don't eat goat water we need ice water right. Let the word go forth from this time and place that it will be subject fun makes right. Wow democracy

I don't know about American way of life for us the procrastinated among God whether to do one's civil and human rights on Obama Merica that run hills freedom not. Care either. There's a field where blowing in this universe today it is blowing up. Here it comes. Boss tell me dumb old stuff slipping away from the office. I do this to bring him to me. I do hate that direction from which it comes. We do not know you had Well you just heard it. We cannot tale what we do nor where it started. I lack that he'll start on what was cut out of the mountain

and came rolling down through Babylon. Towering down beyond. Got me to go this is where I rooted in the burden on us and in the couple of souls I've admitted that women who want to be free. I'm like dad don't scar on this square keeps blowing and blowing. Why it is discard the blowdown they don't got the kingdoms of this unit. Then amid the sound of the weirdest frightening what do others it makes you think and there are the keepers of the status quo. That are down on segregationist. I did that under the evil system of this government except the sound of this where is frightening. Well they know a girl well that is going to load our houses down.

What on over my head. I have freedom in the air. The custom has been ring this afternoon. Why are we here. We are not here for our Sunday afternoon outing. We are not killed just to clap our hands. And the pad our feet. We are not here on a picnic. But let me seek to give it out to this all important stuff. Oh why are we here. We have come here. To re-up heard our determination. To remove every vestige of segregation and discrimination from the other better open sea. The negro if not off repressed son in America.

Sweet was offside. Why. Didn't he go home. Now our. Kids Book and four of them know that we don't like it and we are determined to do something about. It is true. We have a feeling right. I have the question is. Will demonstrations cease now. Where on. That will that. That will be will the paired up part of the group come down. And to speak with the federal government. But still no rest assured. That there will be no peace. Now will be to your credit when that day and how it will be no thanks I'm

not going to play something until the Negro has all of his rights. We will not go home but we won't. Oh all right. We have a long past the stage. When we have started with one. Thing. You know. We are not satisfied with the first. We want to see just the flow of the bill. And. We have come to a solid guy. We don't stock up. To Wealth. We are not defined. As black men. We're as white May we

ask and you're not a bit. We are all good. After all right. Oh give us a sense we are not the budget we come represented curl it up on a sleepy the Southern Christian Leadership Conference the student not bothered who want to read it and all other freedom loving organization. We are part of students and faculty. Kristen's and Koos. Ricks and pull off. Your good ole. Piece and don't be. Loath to have been a mo and those who have no house. Well and why we have done our closeness

to destroy this monster segregates on. This we must do for you it is destroy. Mrs. Tucker points out. That we still have a lot of love to go. The civil rights bill has not solved all of our problems. And the battle is not only fuck I said to you my friends that the problem is just we get it. I talk with some friends the other day who came out of Mississippi and they said that one word that describes Mississippi and that word is pale. Third. We have come to serve notice. All the Republican Party. That bought it off the group did not

anticipate. Abraham Lincoln. That it will be tried to. And one of the truths of history. But this comforter of. The Colonials would not take a strong. Positive. I'm for Brightstar hair on the use of civil rights. Brother bought. It will be a tragic mistake. For the Republican Party. The candidate. Who does not give a million to the epitome of all the civil rights bill. I am to the police. Constitutionality. How can Mr Goldwater up only a constitutionality of the Civil Rights Bill. And he believes that it's unconstitutional. It will be a political or disastrous.

Admonitory suicidal. For the Republican Party to follow. Subtle fools on the planet and him drop nominated Mr. Barry Goldwater. If it does. Then the Republican Party is cloning its own home. That. And and and and will make up in a little white party when all Negroes and white friends of good will will be able to vote for Barry Goldwater. We. Have to do. Was go find those who died for freedom.

Come on.

Already. No. Doubt that's. What the facts here. Well may I steal an analogy from the attorney who defended me the other day. Mr. Hartley Fleishman but I'm going to modify his story a little bit. I take really good on that I would break down the door of my neighbor's house and

go and punish my neighbor because I'm angry with him. I'm guilty of press. Test an assault on the other and I think both this is a right thing to do. My neighbor is beating his helpless child and I break down the door and I go into the house and punch him. Am I guilty of a crime. Listen to this it's a waste and this is the knowledge that it must be me and I must say that those students and I know that are being tried with some of the finest people I have ever met. I am. Trying and I work with. I am sure

that at some day into the future. San Francisco is going to be grateful for these demonstrations and whatever other car in the future I am. I am. Worried.
