"Saya masih bayi ketika [Fannie Lou] Hamer berbicara - gandum bahkan terjaga di dunia. Tapi di sinilah dia, mendesak Partai Demokrat untuk menolak mengakui delegasi Mississippi yang semuanya kulit putih, karena jelas tidak mungkin Mississippi memiliki delegasi yang semuanya kulit putih. Orang kulit hitam telah dicegah untuk mendaftar melalui kekerasan dan intimidasi. Dia sendiri pernah mengalami kekerasan itu dan ada di sana untuk membicarakannya dan mendesak agar delegasi Partai Demokrat Kebebasan Mississippi diakui."

I was just an infant when [Fannie Lou] Hamer spoke - barley even awake in the world. But here she was, pressing the Democratic Party to refuse to recognize the all-white Mississippi delegation, because obviously there was no way Mississippi could have an all-white delegation. Black people had been kept from registering through violence and intimidation. She had experienced that violence herself and was there to speak about it and to insist the delegation of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party be recognized instead.
