Americus city or Sumter County official speaking in July 1965 during the racial unrest in the city. Warren Fortson and Gov. Sanders are also seen in the clip encouraging discussion. "These problems should be worked out within the realm of government, not by some group outside of the realm of government and duly elected officials. The problem is not there, this can be managed at the polls. If these people truly do not represent the sentiment of the people of Sumter County, then the ballot box is the place to solve it."

White man talking about the possibility of voting registrars in Americus, July or August 1965. "But it won't have any immediate effect on the situation in Americus as far as sending in federal voter registrars. The action which precipitated the difficulty in Americus was caused by maintaining segregated voting lines in a polling place. Well, that has nothing to do with voter registration. And so, consequently, I do not believe that is justification for sending in federal voting registrars."
