- Description:
- In this WSB newsfilm clip, an unidentified white female civil rights worker speaks to a mass meeting at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, August 1, 1962, and describes the challenges she has faced in rural southwest Georgia near Albany. These include acts of harassment and retaliation, such as disconnecting her phone and destroying her borrowed car. She also mentions that local African Americans were intimidated by the sheriff, and that black farmers were threatened with eviction by white landowners for associating with civil rights workers. Also included are scenes of a group of protesters praying outside and being led into City Hall by police officers, as well as the participants of a mass meeting, possibly at Shiloh Baptist Church, singing the freedom song, "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize."
