How long, oh lord, will our white brothers continue to destroy us? If you really want to make James Earl continue to live, we've got to get out of here from now on and make sure that every black in this state and every white who believes in what's right joins hands -- not only in Mississippi but across this land -- and end racism and hatred once and for all."
