John Lewis: A lamp in the window or somethin' like that, you know, or a barbecue stand in the back yard, or 5 and 10 cents movie.
There's somethin' else. We got to go on from this point and get our freedom and help free the white man. [Oh, yeah!]

People in Georgia sayin' well if the people in Mississippi can begin the struggle, then I can struggle too.
So that's why your ballot is-
