Description: Freedom riders had started to travel across the south with the purpose of contributing to the cause of of eliminating discrimination based on race or ethnicity by testing segregation policies in bus terminals. In May of 1961, a bus carrying fourteen black and white freedom riders arrived at a bus station in Jackson, Mississippi, where they were escorted and guarded by armed troops, sixteen patrol cars, and an airplane. At a previous stop in Alabama, the bus had been attacked and passengers had been injured. After exiting the bus, the riders went inside of the bus station and attempted to use the "white only" restaurant and restrooms. When they refused to "move on," they were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace and/or inciting a riot rather than breaking Mississippi's segregation laws. In this documentary, there is footage of the bus carrying the freedom riders into Jackson, Mississippi, the riders unboarding the bus at the bus station, entering the bus station, and being escorted, under arrest, out of the bus station by Jackson police. A WKY reporter explains why integration had not been adopted in Mississippi. The documentary also includes interviews that reflect the attitudes held by different groups in regards to the issue of integrating Mississippi. William Simmons, the secretary of the White Citizens' Council, explains why he believes segregation should continue in Mississippi and responds to the reporter's questions concerning his views on equality. Medgar Evers, an African-American civil rights activist and field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), explains why he thinks Mississippi citizens were less aggressive than those in Alabama, as well as the lack of leadership in Jackson's black community. Charles Oldham, the national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), explains the purpose and goals of the freedom rides and how he believes the freedom rides will lead to changes in policies and attitudes that support integration. The reporter discusses Mississippi's resistance to change traditional institutions such as segregation and white supremacy. Mississippi's governor, Ross Barnett, speaks before an audience about how the behavior of Mississippi's white citizens during the bus's stop in Jackson. Men and women are stopped on the street by the reporter and share their opinions about integration and/or the Freedom Rides. The night of the freedom riders' trials, Jackson's black leaders hold a meeting. Footage of three men speaking to the 126 people who attended the meeting. Governor Barnett responds to questions about how long the state planned to finance the fight against integration. The documentary concludes with Oldham, Evers, and Simmons briefly explaining why they believe integration will or will not occur.

my dad was born in 1915 and was born and raised in Mississippi. I didn’t learn about the history of the south until the 70’s & 80’s and it was not something that was discussed at all in our household. learning about the type of environment my Dad grew up in it always amazed me that he never had a bad word to say about white people and was always quiet and dignified. he has passed on but I admire and love him and try to pattern my behavior to his.

My first time being in Mississippi was a couple years ago in July and even though I had an air conditioned rental car, I couldn't help but think of how anyone in their right minds lived with all of that heat and humidity. It was so unbearable. I couldn't imagine living down there 50+ years ago when there was no air conditioning in homes or in the cars they drove. I'll take my northern blizzards and sub-freezing temperatures any day over that summer heat.

@pianoman551000 Жыл бұрын

Because you have a comparison between having air-conditioning and not having it. When there is NO comparison, as people in the South years ago didn't have air-condition, one doesn't think about what comfortable element is missing. They just endure and see it as another hot and humid day.

The people I encountered in Mississippi were extremely friendly and hospitable. I stayed in Natchez and Vicksburg. I wanted to see the small jail in Philadelphia, MS where the three (later murdered) were held in 1964, but it was on the other side of the state. I was struck by the obvious economic hardship and poverty and people living in homes or trailers one could easily assume were abandoned. Overall, enjoyed the people and time there and would return

The DEMOCRAT Party was founded by slave owners. In his book "Negro President - Jefferson and the Slave Power," Pulitzer Prize winning historian Garry Wills writes that party founder Thomas Jefferson and his fellow DEMOCRAT Party politicians had a political "indebtedness to the slavemasters." Wills notes that while "everyone recognizes that Jefferson depended on slaves for his economic existence, fewer reflect that he depended on them for his political existence. Yet the latter was the all-important guardian of the former." The party’s first six political platforms from 1840-1860 supported slavery. Seven DEMOCRAT presidents owned slaves. Democrats in Congress opposed the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery, the 14th amendment that gave Blacks due process and the 15th Amendment that gave them the right to vote.

I remember traveling by car through Mississippi and Louisiana as an eight year old child, spring of 1961. Being from Queens, New York, and white, I went to school with black kids, played with a handful of black kids in my neighborhood, and never really gave it much thought. I saw for the first time restricted signs, “Colored,” “White Only,” on public restroom doors, at hotels where we stayed, and on restaurants. We didn’t normally stay in hotels or eat out, so these were a treat. At one point, I asked my mother if we had brought Donna with us, (a black girl I played with) couldn’t eat there since she’d be our guest. Mom hushed me up in a hurry and said she tell me later. When I persisted, I got the “look” that meant “shut up and mind your elders.” It wasn’t until we met Dad on base (Navy) in Florida that the matter was spoken of. The consensus was that it wasn’t right, however, we would keep our mouths shut in public because some people there had resorted to killing over it. We were individually expected to speak and act respectfully to all people, whether black, white, oriental, or whatever, just as at home. I was left feeling very disturbed that there were murders about such a thing making it dangerous to mention, but like always, strong feelings were not discussed or outwardly expressed in our family. I did as I’d learned to do, think about it, then put it in an imaginary box and put the box on the back shelf in the closet. “To Be Dealt With at a Later Time”

I grew up on navy bases and had friends of all colors and nationalities. When visiting my stepdads parents in Jackson in 1970, I had just befriended a black kid across the street. When mamaw caught me playing with him, I heard words I did not expect from old people and I got my ass whipped while the little black boy was totally humiliated. I could never stand that woman from that day forward, and made sure I was absent when she came to visit the west coast. I shed no tears the day she died!

I grew up in Texas... I just turned 53 yesterday (Aug 2024). In 1981 I was in the 5th grade, and that was the first time I was ever in a classroom with a black student. I had never seen a black kid at school before that day. By the time I graduated high school in 1989, there were maybe 60 to 80 black students..in a school of about 2200 students. Last summer we moved my dad out of the house I grew up in (he moved in with us due to his failing health). My parents bought that house when I was one year old. In the time he lived there, over 50 years, the neighborhood changed a lot. There had always historically been a significant hispanic population, and there were really no problems between whites and hispanics. But now, there is a significant black population. The older neighborhoods are mostly hispanic (more than before). The newer neighborhoods, and apartment complexes are almost entirely black residents. All I can say is that it was a great town to grow up in, from its founding to propbably the late 1980s or early 90s. Since then, it has become riddled with crime. It has new businesses, new housing, new infrastructure, etc... Its not a question of decline, and turning into a ghetto. But for some reason, its a very low trust place to live now. The grocery store has 4 armed guards...three inside and one outside. There is a ton of investment in that area, new schools, new eveything... yet its terrible there.

It’s so important to keep these films around and in good shape. I was a little girl during these years and too young to know about the news but I wasn’t too young to know about segregation. My mother, and all of her friends, employed a black woman as a maid. We little girls loved her. Let me tell you, the experiences depicted in The Help (the movie) were very real. Spot on. All of it. I’m in St. Louis. St. Louis was just as segregated as what you see here. I think the perceived lack of organization you see here was because of fear. Fear of violence, fear of losing their jobs.

Thousands of African American plantation workers had been forced to work shoring up the levees near Greenville, Miss. Then, as the waters rose, they were left stranded for days without food or drinking water, while white women and children were hauled to safety. Young white Boy Scouts guarded African Americans at gunpoint. Black people were forced to participate in relief efforts, and to clean up flooded areas while receiving inferior provisions for themselves.

It’s very sad to see what’s happened to jackson today. Most of west Jackson where I grew up is a gutted waste land. I used to cut grass up and down west capitol. We were not well off but our neighborhoods were kept nice. I walked to the zoo and the library. And now it’s so dangerous. Jackson is a regular top 10 murder capitol of America. Drug and gang violence is rampant. All development moved away to Rankin and Madison county. No one wants to build in Jackson. It’s around 85% black now. What happened to Jackson? I really wish some black people would comment on what they think caused Jackson to fail. Was it democratic policy? Is there a lack of visionary leadership?

This is simply America not one place is prosperous in this country for ever. In no time those suburbs will be run down as well. Prosperity in America tends to always favour the new communities vs the old.

Blacks moved in whites moved out and took all the resources with them, therefore creating an environment of hopelessness, a cycle of terrible education structure, then top it off with drugs and alcohol..I present to you the ghetto..do blacks need to be held accountable? Of course but, the odds were stacked against them from the beginning..

That’s what happens when you don’t allow 42% of your population to the same level of education as the whites. What did you expect was gonna happen? Blacks were treated as less than second class citizens. They had no voice, the education and facilities given to them by the state was no where near to the level given to the whites. Segregation ended and suddenly blacks are supposed to be on the same level as whites? This isn’t a race issue. This is the result of segregation

@4:00 "quoting" Abraham Lincoln without any context is a favorite game by Dixie racists. Lincoln knew that after the Civil War, Dixie would come down even harder upon their former slaves, or any Black people. Lincoln wanted Blacks to have their own nation, away from Dixie. In 1822, America formed a new nation in coastal West Africa, called it "Liberia", it would be home for former slaves to return to Africa, voluntarily. Liberia had a rough start, but by 1847, was a free, all-African republic. The irony is that later, the Liberians made slaves of local tribal people. Back to Lincoln... he also had vowed to Bishop Henry Whipple that he would revamp or replace the Indian Reservations after the 1862 Dakota Uprising in Minnesota. Lincoln was close to Frederick Douglass, and sought his advice at times. Lincoln knew Dixie, but sadly, he did not think that they would assassinate him. Dixie killed Lincoln, because they knew that he was fully committed to erase Dixie's control upon the Black people. After Lincoln, new President Andrew Johnson returned farmland to Whites that had been given under General Sherman's Special Field Orders #15 (40 acres & a mule for 18,000 Black families). And the GOP allowed the Dixie senators & congressmen back into our Capitol... they outwitted the GOP at every turn. The Compromise of 1877 was a Dixie victory in the long run, they got the Federal Occupation Troops out of the South. Soon, the infamous Jim Crow Negro Laws began, and Lincoln's words "Whites & Blacks not being able to live together" were fully explained: Dixie would never allow peaceful life for Black people. Teddy Roosevelt was popular, but sympathetic toward Dixie veterans. Woodrow Wilson was overtly racist, and implemented segregation. USA began to see more "race riots" across USA, not just lynchings in the South. USA went into WW1 with segregated military forces, this "conditioning of minds" spread the Dixie mentality into the Yankee soldiers. After WW1, the race riots became "white mob riots" with the Greenwood District of Tulsa, OK destroyed, Rosewood, Florida, and Elaine, Arkansas had hundreds of Black deaths. In 1925, the KKK membership peaked in the millions in USA. They were anti-Catholic, and also anti Communist, Socialist, or Labor Activists. USA went into WW2 with segregated military. Finally, in 1948, President Truman ordered the US Military to integrate, but the Korean War still had some segregation among US forces. And long ago, it was the US military that fought the Native Americans, with numerous genocidal massacres over that era. Finally, Martin Luther King, Jr drew attention to himself, more for being anti-Vietnam War, than for leading the Civil Rights Movement. The FBI focused upon MLK, warning that he could become "a Messiah" against the US war effort. Then MLK was shot dead in Memphis. FBI supported "Russian Collusion" but now can't let a certain laptop go public. And most of the media is playing along. Wake up America! GOP, you need to return to Lincoln's unfinished business, or what do you stand for?

Passages of the Old Testament were used to justify holding people in subjugation as Slaves-proof that it was written by men, no Divine Creator would have decided to bring about a race of people for another race to abuse, murder, rape, and enslave.
