Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power

- [hasan] there are no major demonstrations or marches. this is a play for power. most sncc activists at the time believe that the problem of racism, the problem that black folk were facing, was political. and if it was political, you needed political solution. and john lewis, who was the chairman of sncc at the time, one of the last people within sncc, you know, who was still viewing this as fundamentally a moral issue. so john lewis is a little bit out of step with sncc as a whole. and so in may of 1966, carmichael is elected chairperson. he immediately has a new platform. and then the james meredith march hits.

Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power

such a dangerous place. - [courtland] freedom summer was about bringing the country to mississippi and creating the mississippi freedom democratic party that eventually made the challenge in atlantic city. (ominous piano music) - [ella] the message that the freedom democratic party believes, that a political party should be open to all of the people who wish to suscribe to its principle. - [hasan] the democratic national convention, which occurs in atlantic city in august of 1964 is really a pivotal moment in the evolution of sncc organizing in particular. sncc activists, just like local people are hopeful if they make the case, that the reason why african americans are not participating en masse in the electoral politics in mississippi is because

Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power

- [stokely] my emphasis is in this march, the momentum from this march is what sncc is gonna deal with. we're gonna use that momentum in the counties, which we go through to organize black people, to take over the political structures in those counties. they're gonna seize the power in those counties. - [hasan] as that march begins to take place. sncc organizers are fanning out into the cotton fields saying, "yes, we need to register the vote, but we also need to have a program around which we can organize." and ricks is going out and coming back and reporting like, "look, we had a mass meeting and i dropped the slogan. i said, 'black power,' and the people were all ready to go." - [john] and i hear my dad talking about black power, and what we were gonna do to them white folks if we had black power, we could burn the courthouse down. if we had black power, the crackers couldn't beat us. couldn't kill us. if we had black power. we'd take the land. and then boy, they were going crazy. "black power! black power!"

- [john] those people knew what happened. they was ready to go again. was waiting on '68. that was '66. - [lillian] and every aspect of the political arena, you wanted some black person in there to plead our cause. see what's going on. - [courtland] there was no turning back. the concept that people who lived in that county who were black should not only vote, but they should be in power. - [ruby] lowndes county was moving on with its own rhythm. and it was time for us to begin to think about where we would go. - [hasan] sncc organizers were guided by this belief that "our job is to work ourselves out of a job." "if we do our job right then we won't be needed here." it's also one of snccs last major local organizing projects. (funky music)

- [hasan] and this becomes their freedom house. this becomes the base of operations for sncc activists for the next year and a half. - [mukasa] they protected us and kept us alive. and all the neighbors, people around had guns and they would protect us. and they gave us guns to protect ourselves. - since the federal government is not going to protect us, since the state government is not going to protect us, and since the local government is not going to protect us, then we have the right and a responsibility to protect ourselves. - non violence as a tactic in a public demonstration is at this point effective. but if you're an organizer you are talking about being on the road to 3, 4, 5, o'clock in the morning, sneaking on a plantation with the ku klux klan laying in wait for you. the tactical name of the student nonviolent coordinating committee stayed there. but most organizers in the deep south who worked for sncc were carrying guns. and these contradictions were clear.

(funky music) - [hasan] three candidates for school board, a candidate for coroner, tax assessor, tax collector, and sheriff. - [stokely] we gotta vote for people who've been in the cotton fields like ourselves, and they're the ones who are gonna bring us out of the cotton field. now the law says that you can't vote in ours and also vote in the democratic primary, which has to be held on the same day, according to the law. and if we get one of those candidates picked, then on november 8th, their names will go on the ballot box and we'll vote on this for black panther. so where you gonna be on may 3rd? - right there. (laughs) i'll be there. - okay, we'll see you later. - okay. (funky music) (crowd noise)

- [ruby] we were in a war. america declared war on southern freedom fighters. (drums beating throughout) - [lillian] people were evicted from their shacks that they were living in because they were attempting to get registered to vote. and the white people put 'em off of there. so they didn't have anywhere to go. and we were able to acquire tents and set up tent city. - [john] there were some people in detroit started a lowndes county christian movement for human rights, in michigan. so what they did was raise money and funds to keep us going and to also provide the tents. - [hasan] tent city becomes a shooting gallery for white folk. black folk had to respond to that, posting armed sentries, and guarding tent city just like they did the homes of movement leaders.

bob mants, is one of the key people who did that and he got married and settled in lowndes county, and continued until his death to work there. - [john hulett] and after this long struggle, we still have people who come out here on this sunday night and listen to us talk who have waited faithfully with us in this county, are still sending their children to these overcrowded schools. - [person in crowd] yeah. - let me say this, the elected officials of this county will do everything possible to keep your children out of the best schools. - [person in crowd] that's right. - [hasan] african americans in lowndes county will continue to organize under the banner of the lowndes county freedom organization, but the black panther recedes to the background because of the way the black panther evolves over time. (drum music) - [speaker] we must arm ourselves, we have to put a shotgun in every door,
