Alternative Title

Hamer Depicts Integration As A One-Way Street

Description

In this article, Abbott quoted Hamer in a report on Hamer's speech during her second Mississippi State visit. Hamer argued that white Americans unjustly feared that civil rights would enable Black Americans to oppress white Americans. She made appeals to God to argue that common humanity should have bound white and Black Americans to mutual civil rights and respect. A picture of Hamer addressing her audience from the stage accompanied the article.
