at first baptist the student nonviolence coordinating committee was headquartered there, known as sncc. that's where we'd be -- we'd go to be trained in marching technique, thousand protect ourselves in case we were accosted by -- accosted by deputies with billy clubs and that sort of thing. then we'd come to brown chapel for some meetings. we would leave this church and march to the courthouse with signs that said, let my parents vote. or let my mother vote. we would make our own signs to take to the courthouse. that was practically an everyday occurrence. to go to the courthouse. there was fear. in walking to the courthouse. because lots of times people were arrested. lots of times people were beaten back from the steps of the courthouse. and so you never knew when you were marching on a given day whether you would be arrested or whether you would be hit with a billy club. fortunately, i was never hit, i was not arrested. my sister was arrested along with my best friend. so i did not go to jail but i did march. i participated in some of the other, what we call significant marches. ♪
