I have kept this kinescope in my archive since it was recorded by a colleague of mine in 1964. He had the guts to go on to the Senator James Eastland plantation in Mississippi to see what the "sharecroppers" who had free rent forever were living like and how they felt.
Senator Eastland was an avowed segregationist. A Dixiecrat Democrat. A powerful senator.
His state, Mississippi, was a one party state dominated by white Democrats who used poll taxes and literacy tests to exclude black Americans from voting.
He grew up rich on the plantation his family had owned since before the Civil War. He was famous for voting against voting rights, food stamps, and G.I. benefits for black soldiers returning from World War II.
This film clip contains a bit of footage of Fannie Lou Hamer who came from the plantation and grew to fight Sen. Eastland and his colleagues by helping to set up the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party before the 1964 Democratic Party convention.
If you found this video of interest, I would appreciate your support by clicking the Super Thanks button below the video screen. That gives me the ability to collect more films like this one from my archive and present them on RU-vid.

This is infuriating. My dad, his siblings, parents, and grandmother were all sharecroppers in Arkansas during this time. My dad hated it so much that he was determined to never work in the fields as an adult. He went on to college, got a PhD and eventually became the president of a small university. Everyone is his family was hardworking and intelligent. They had to face insurmountable challenges to overcome poverty in a place where they were constantly pushed down. All of this makes my heart sink. This wasn’t that long ago. Thanks for sharing this.

Thnx 4 the comment. I can not even begin to imagine. But I have a question, if I may. One of my biggest heroes is the recently retired prof. Thomas Sowell. I do not know if u are familiar with his work, but he is a 90 yo. man of color who grew up in the kind of poverty described here. He was a radical leftist in his youth because, as he said "we didnt have any other explenation". Later, after his Ivy - league doctorates in sociology, economics and math (I think), he became one of the most eloquent spokesmen for personal freedom and the free market, and against most government interventions, especially the welfare state. He said, nothing hurt black people as much. His philosophy was basically the same as that of Frederick Douglas, who, when asked after the civil war, if the freed slaves should not be recompenced, replied: All we ask is you treat us the same, you have done enough for us already ! A penny 4 ur thought...

My grandmother and grandfather were sharecropping too. I remember going to North Carolina and seeing cotton around the house. Sometimes, corn or watermelon around the house. It looked just like the house these people lived in. Once when I was 5 years old, around 1964, we traveled to Carolina from Brooklyn NY and stopped at a gas station in Virginia...just before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. I told my mom I had to pee. The gas station attendant sent us to the back of the station and into the woods. I didn't know it then but Black people couldn't use the bathroom whites used. When we got back to the car, my mom said "I'm so sick of this shit down here"...she told my father. Later in life, at about 20, I asked her what that was about bcuz it stayed in my memory. That's when she told me it was about segregation.

You probably think Hinduism and some other religions are complete nonsense that’s how I view Christianity no evidence for any of the occurrences lots of contradictions and some pretty awful passages in your so-called holy book such the bit where God thinks lots wife deserves to be turned into a pillar of salt just for looking back but when lot actually offers his to virgin daughters to the baying mob for a gangbang that’s okay with him later on when the two girls rape their drunken father and incestuously conceive children that’s okay with God as well. Any time the Bible mentions rape as a crime it is as a crime against the property owner i.e. a father or a husband nowhere is it thought to be a crime against the woman what a disgrace is it is it is that you are sticking up for this horrible cult of human sacrifice.

@Melanie Jarrett I don’t see anything you are deluded it’s not your fault you were indoctrinated as I was as a child fortunately for me I became educated and read the Bible, a couple of different versions(why are there different versions of gods word couldn’t he speak clearly). I take it you’re okay with the rape and incest in the Bible then it’s okay because God thought it was okay is that your moral judgement I’m sure it’s not. Nobody knows g0d, despite there being over 3,000 descriptions of g0ds through human history not one shred of testable evidence has ever been offered. The “major religions” all have schisms and different versions (Christianity is the worst with 30,000 in the US alone and upwards of 40,000 worldwide) the idea of Omnipotent Omniscient and Omnipresence g0d who then couldn’t get a clear message to his creation of what he was and what he did is laughable, why would he have any chosen people and ffs why would they have to cut the foreskins off the infant boys penises so he could identify them, it’s ludicrous. Are you brave and honest enough to try The Outsiders Test of Faith: JOHN W Loftus was born on September 18, 1954.[1] He earned a bachelor's degree from Great Lakes Christian College in 1977, Master of Arts and Master of Divinity degrees from Lincoln Christian Seminary in 1982, and a Master of Theology degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1985.[2] He dropped out of a Doctor of Philosophy program in theology and ethics at Marquette University in 1987.[2] Loftus was a minister and taught apologetics, philosophy, critical thinking, and ethics at several colleges, including The College of Lake County, Grayslake, IL, Lincoln Christian University, Lincoln, IL, Great Lakes Christian College, Lansing, MI, and Trine University, Angola, IN. In the mid 1990s in light of an extramarital affair Loftus had a crisis of faith and eventually rejected Christianity.[3] Loftus has authored ten books to date: The Christian Delusion (2010) The End of Christianity (2011), Why I Became an Atheist (2012), The Outsider Test of Faith: How to Know Which Religion Is True (2013), God or Godless (2013, co-written with Randal Rauser), Christianity Is Not Great (2014), How to Defend the Christian Faith: Advice from an Atheist (2015), Christianity in the Light of Science (2016), UnApologetic: Why Philosophy of Religion Must End (2016), and The Case against Miracles (2019). His key contribution is in his book The Outsider Test For Faith. It asks believers to test their religious faith as an outsider: "The best way to test one’s adopted religious faith is from the perspective of an outsider with no double standards, using the same level of skepticism one uses to evaluate other religious faiths." "It is no different than the prince in the Cinderella story who must question forty-five thousand people to see which girl lost the glass slipper at the ball the previous night. They all claim to have done so. Therefore, skepticism is definitely warranted when approaching any woman who claims to have the right foot fit."

For her efforts she was shot at, threatened and harassed by racist neighbors and the police. I also remember he giving the warning that if you were arrested you would be killed in a southern prison. It was so shocking for a 22- year old, white, suburban student to hear I still remember it 40 years later.

You are one of the few ones who get it.It never started out as a race thing.But simply the Haves taking advantage of the Havenots.In order to being able to play the Havenots out against each other the Haves invented the race card,and it still functions like a dream.They just flipped over the card 180° recently because that alignes their interests better with the current political climate,which in itself is the direct result of the conditions they created themselves in the past.

Pretty much what the current Party of the Confederacy - the GOP - is all about. The Southern Strategy of the Republicans took the racist mantle of the old Dixiecrats. And here we are with a racial party demographic very similar (tho’ not identical) to the 1960s.

The USA gives 1 billion dollars a day to the only "democracy" in the Middle East. That country has free education free health care on our dime. Until we flush out the corruption at every political level Americans will never be put first in their own country.

Totally understandable. Times have changed, and in the interconnected global economy, we have to make and keep allies to prevent global problems escalating and coming to our shores. The fact that there was no Ebola outbreak in USA is the result of a team of experts having fought it in Africa. Trump has abolished that team just before COVID pandemic. There is sufficient money being made for both internal and external investments, but a select group of Congress people is taking bribes from multinational corporations for themselves, but not enough taxes are taken from those same multi billionaires for the rest of the Americans. Wealth tax, or a minimum corporate tax would solve the question of financing domestic programs. BTW, I am all for "libraries, not bombers" in principle, but also appreciate knowing that an aggressive foreign government would think hard about the risks before planning an assault on USA.

King king. Those racist people knew from the beginning that they had to dethrone the blk race, they saw and read the reports from their reconnissant squad and the spying network hidden behind social workers and the many religious groups who carried gifts, a bible, surely they never displayed their truthful reasoning why they were really there, with all of the powerful things they witness surely the information they provided the hateful and racist opportunists back in the states was to come up with strategies to destroy and control the minds of Afrikans, because they feared what could have happened if Africans were to get their hands on books.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJVS No marvel for Apostle Paul warned of this in 2 Corinthians 11: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. In the Greek, the word transforming means disguised. The devil is a scripture lawyer, so one area where he can do the most damage is from the pulpit. Those slave owners and klansmen who were in the pulpit on Sundays were ministers of Satan. Plain and simple. They were not of God.
