00:00:01.140 - 00:00:30.930

Yeah. Mhm. And I'll be, you know, it seems to me that the dynamics of the situation explained the, in Alabama, there's a unique law in which you can form a political party on the county basis. And we started these county political parties now, they cannot be

00:00:30.930 - 00:00:48.970

called parties until after the general election. Where you're, whatever you call it organization conference or whatever it is, Will receive at least 20% of the vote. So we call them land, for instance, in Laurens County, we call the loans county freedom organization, they're called freedom organizations

00:00:48.970 - 00:01:07.360

and they're organized on the county levels. Now, the Alabama law says that for these organizations or conferences or what have you, you need an emblem and we just happened to pick the panther, There was no significance about it. Would you call this a political education society?

00:01:07.840 - 00:01:22.690

No, I would call the political party, it seems, is to get political power. We want to take over the political machinery in the black belt counties where we work. We want to smash the Democratic Party on those county levels. We think the Democratic party is the

00:01:22.690 - 00:01:39.120

most corrupt, the most racist IQ and its instincts in Alabama and it has to be smashed. I feel that when the negroes go to the polls to vote, that they will try to stop them. Is this why they plan to carry guns? I am sure that

00:01:39.120 - 00:01:54.790

when the racist realized that they have nothing to turn to, to ensure their power, then they will have to turn to violence and mass scale. Now they've always used violence, they've always used and they use it openly. And uh, for example, in Georgia, where the state

00:01:54.790 - 00:02:09.190

legislature could strip Julian bond of his seat of his political power through their own means. I don't think that they'll be able to do in Lawrence County so that the only alternative will be open violence. And in a state where we've met nothing but violence, where

00:02:09.190 - 00:02:27.140

the governor has advocated nothing but violence, we expect nothing but violence. Do the members of this organization carry weapons all the time or just when they anticipate trouble? Most of them travel with them all the time. When I first moved into Alabama, you would see pickup

00:02:27.150 - 00:02:43.050

trucks go by white pickup trucks with guns. You know, you can carry a gun in Alabama as long as it's shown, you see rifles and there were no negroes, but now announce county negroes carry their guns too. To advocate Nonviolence in Lawrence County is to advocate

00:02:43.050 - 00:02:43.650

suicide.
