CHARLOTTE DIVISION
“All people are going to be free. Power to the people."
(People answer: “Power to the people.")
“Now, I came here today to show unity and a little
bit of denunciation for the city of Winston-Salem. You know,
I got lost coming here, so I don't know whether you want to
hear from a fellow that gets lost trying to find a rally of
this importance. But we went to High Point to look for you and
someone told Milton, said you got to go a little farther. So
we went on over to Winston-Salem.
"But you know, I looked at High Point and I looked at
Winston~Salem, and then I came and I looked at you. And I see
now that that great dream that we always talking about is now
coming to pass. Because, I'm looking for that
(unintelligible). And I believe I've found itwhere all black
and white can march hand in hand to bring about that freedom
we are seeking. We believe that we can bring in a new world
order, a new world society where politics ill serve the people
and serve humanity rather than serving a few, that would oppress
the many.
“So we are here to desl with what we call unity.
You know, J locked around me a few minutes ago and I said,
now beautiful Winston-Salem, all these churches. I went over
here and some black folk over there singing in a chirch over
here on Fifth Street. Over here on Fifth Street at'a Presbyterian
Church they are singing and here the brothers and sisters out
here, both black and white out here, can’t find a building to
get in in a city as large as Winston-Salem. Now, you know,
there's going to come a storm one day. I think this is just the
calm before the storm. And those very people that deny us the
opportunity to meet and express ourselves in their buildings one
day are going to run to you and say please hide me because I
have nowhere to go. And we will, maybe we'll take them in. But
not the toms, not the nervous nellies, not those cooperated close,
what we call the compromised closeness cats.
