Assignment 13 - Derrick Thomas

My brothers and sisters, the amount of discrimination and racism in this country is appalling, and I say enough is enough. In this year 1954, I say that the government won’t help us because they don’t want to see us succeed. The man is convinced of his own superiority and sees to enforce it with his “separate but equal” policies. Let me ask you if it’s fair that I have to sit in the back of the bus; or is it fair that I have to sit behind a restaurant if a want to eat out; or is it fair that I can’t get a well-paying job. Well enough we must rise up and fight for our rights, we cannot be moved, we cannot stand down, we cannot be beaten. The black man can no longer hold us down its time white people are seen as equals. Ok now let’s start where it’s the worst we will start with sit-ins in Montgomery.
