Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power

- [hasan] when sncc first comes into the county, they're not staying in lowndes county, alabama. they're going back to selma where sncc's regional headquarters was and they're spending the night there. and then they're getting up early and coming back into the county and that's dangerous. it's dangerous to be on the highway. - [john] i said, my daddy got a empty house. y'all come down there and take a look at it. they came down and my father and stoke and them hit right off. first thing he said to him, "there's no restroom in that house, that's the condition, but y'all welcome to stay here, and you don't have to run back to selma, they're not gonna come here and mess with you. - his land was clear. he didn't owe any money in financing his crops. - [courtland] there was no indoor plumbing, there was no water, there was a pump in the back. they had a roof that leaked, and they had one butane gas heater in the house. so when it got cold, you had to go into one room, but it was very, very important to us because it allowed us to be in the county.
