a great comment by jesse jackson said last night the movement in montgomery, alabama following brown versus board of education implemented that decision in transportation, so we brought down transportation, racism in montgomery, then had the freedom rides and so forth and the state ins, broke down segregation in public accommodations, had the birmingham movement, the civil rights act of 64 and that had title vii which opened up and made it illegal for unions or companies to discriminate against women or people of color or anybody so discrimination is now against the law and the seller campaign and the mississippi freedom summer of 64, 65, and so we broke down the barriers to voting rights the jesse jackson said in each of these places we have a campaign in the city that opened up the doors and caused the nation to look, why can't we make memphis the place where we broke poverty, broke the cycle of poverty and did something about it? it will take a movement. it is not going to happen because the government decides to do it particularly not with the government we have at the moment. so
