- Description:
- This video features footage from the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda's Voter Empowerment Crusade Tour with Freedom Riders as part of the voter registration, voter education, and voter mobilization campaign from July 19-21, 2002 in Valdosta and Albany, Georgia. This video begins with Reverend Tyrone Brooks encouraging the congregation to register to vote followed by introducing Joseph E. Lowery. At 00:19:37, Lowery speaks about politics and religion and how corrupt governments inform public policy. He preaches about "singing the Lord's song in a strange land", emphasizing rejoicing and having faith in God in places full of resistance, corruption, soullessness, police brutality, and injustices. This video concludes with the continuing journeying with the Voter Empowerment Crusade Tour throughout Albany, Georgia, remarks by Tyrone Brooks, Albert Love, and final thoughts by Joseph E. Lowery at 01:53:08.
