Date: 12/20/1964Call Number: KP 056Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Charles HobsonCollection: Malcolm X
Speech given at DNC about how some African countries won their independence through anger and violence. Black people must speak the language of the captors and recognize that what happens in Mississippi has nationwide impact. There is no difference between Northern and Southern Democrats because they work as a whole not as separate parts. Freedom is not something that is given to you, you must take it and Black people must be equipped to do that in the same way that others have done it in the past. Audio tape is cut off at the end.

Freedom Bound tells the story of the SNCC voter registration campaign in Mississippi in 1963.

Containing much of the same interviews as We'll Never Turn Back, this film features rare footage of SNCC volunteers telling their stories of crossing the color line in rural Mississippi.
