“In Sumter and other counties [in South Carolina] the whites are resorting to intimidation and violence to prevent the colored people from organizing for the elections. The division there is still on the color line. Substantially all the whites are Democrats and all the colored people are Republicans. There is no political principle in dispute between them. The whites have the intelligence, the property, and the courage which make power. The negroes are for the most part ignorant, poor, and timid. My view is that the whites must be divided there before a better state of things will prevail.” PeopleStillsStatesPoliticalPoliticsLinesPoorViewsPrinciplesViolenceColorRepublicanRelationElectionPropertyDemocratSouthIgnorantAfrican AmericanDivisionDividedDisputesRace RelationsCountyCarolinaIntimidationSouth Carolina Author:Rutherford B.

“I was just an infant when [Fannie Lou] Hamer spoke - barley even awake in the world. But here she was, pressing the Democratic Party to refuse to recognize the all-white Mississippi delegation, because obviously there was no way Mississippi could have an all-white delegation. Black people had been kept from registering through violence and intimidation. She had experienced that violence herself and was there to speak about it and to insist the delegation of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party be recognized instead.” PeopleWorldWaySpeakBlackWhitePartyViolenceDemocraticRefuseAwakeSpokesBlack PeopleInfantDemocratic PartyMississippiIntimidationDelegationBarley Author:Leah D.

“And in the wake of Trump's elections, there have been reports across the country of intimidation, harassment and violence against those very groups. So if Trump is serious about unifying the country, if this is a thing he wants to do, then I think he needs to immediately speak against these acts of intimidation, harassment and violence that are happening to some degree in the name of the campaign that he ran.” ThinkingCountrySpeakViolenceSeriousElectionRanHarassmentIntimidation Author:Newt Gingrich
