You asked how you can help.

We want federal legislation granting Negroes the right to vote unencumbered.

And we want federal protocol eliminating the decades long dismissal and illegal denial of Black seeking to vote.

And we want robust enforcement off that protocol.

Well, that's fine, but most of the South is still not desegregated.

Let's not start another battle when we haven't even won the first.

And you know what the next battle should be?

The eradication poverty.

I'm calling it the war on poverty.

It's a matter of political priorities.

Poverty is gonna be my focus at home.

And I want you to help Help me with this.

We could make big changes in these things for people of all colors.

And I know that matters to you, doesn't it?

This voting thing is just gonna have to wait it.

It can't wait, Mr.

President.

Well, why not?

Because there have been thousands of racially motivated murders in the South, including those four girls.

Well, I know that.

And you know the astounding fact that not one of these criminals who murder us when and why they want has ever been convicted.

Yeah, I know.

We have a lot of work to do down.

Not one conviction, because they are protected by fight officials chosen by an all white electorate.

And on the rare occasions that they face trial, they are freed by all quite jewelry's all white because you can't serve on a jury unless you are registered to vote.

Well, Dr King, you've certainly given me something, Thio.

Think about what?

This administration is going to set this aside for a while.

Just for a while, you understand?
