When the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) targeted the area as part of a voter registration and citizenship education plan, the outsiders discovered a committed group of local activists working through an organization called the Sumter County Movement. Three phases marked the movement between 1963 and 1965: 1) Learning phase: In July 1963 fewer than a dozen activists began the first marches, with the number of protesters growing to more than 250 and arrests becoming widespread.2)Attempting to integrate the Americus public schools: Although four African American students entered Americus High School in the fall of 1964 under the Freedom of Choice Plan, all but one female student had withdrawn after four months due to constant harassment.Put in jail during exam week, Americus officials ultimately released her and allowed her to take her exams on the condition that she leave the state for the summer of 1965. 3) Registering African American voters and continuing school integration efforts: Americus officials arrested four black women for voting in the white women's voting line during a 1965 Americus election.In July 1965, Hosea Williams of the SCLC and SNCC, under the direction of John Lewis, joined forces with members of the local movement and filled the streets of Americus with more than 600 estimated marchers. The Voting Rights Act was signed into law in early August, and before the end of the year more than 2,000 African Americans had registered to vote in Sumter County. When schools opened in late August, the number of black students enrolled in previously segregated schools increased from four in 1964 to almost ninety in 1965.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata.","GSE identifier: SS8H11"],"dc_format":null,"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":null,"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia."],"dcterms_subject":["Civil rights--Georgia--Americus","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Americus","Protest marches--Georgia--Americus","Boycotts--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Americus","Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (U.S.)","Congress of Racial Equality","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Americus","African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Americus","Americus (Ga.)--Politics and government--20th century","Americus (Ga.)--Social conditions--20th century","Americus (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Race relations","Discrimination--Georgia--Americus","Race discrimination--Georgia--Americus","Political activists--Georgia--Americus","African American political activists--Georgia--Americus","African Americans--Politics and government--20th century","Citizenship--Georgia--Americus","Citizenship--United States","Citizenship--Study and teaching--United States","Citizenship--Study and teaching--Georgia--Americus","Voter registration--Georgia--Americus","Voting--Georgia--Americus","Suffrage--Georgia--Americus","African Americans--Suffrage--Georgia--Americus","United States.

The clip begins with a night demonstration where Georgia state highway patrolmen walk beside the marchers, one of whom has her hair in curlers. The march stops at the Sumter County courthouse, where some of the demonstrators, carrying umbrellas and other rain gear, sit on blankets spread along the sidewalk. Law enforcement officers watch the demonstration; they are equipped with helmets and rifles with bayonets. The demonstrators sing, clap their hands, and listen to Reverend Joseph Campbell, leader of the Sumter County Movement, and Reverend Hosea Williams from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Next, during a day march, demonstrators follow a police car, protected by nearby law-enforcement officers. John Lewis, another SCLC minister, speaks to the listening crowd. Protesters carry signs with slogans including, \"Charges dropped and election void,\" \"Break the segregation by voter registration,\" and \"Open registration with a Negro registrar or clerk and additional hours.\" On July 20, four African American women were arrested at a county-held special election for Justice of the Peace; one of the women arrested was Mary Kate Bell, the first African American political candidate in Sumter County. After the women's arrest, the Sumter County Movement organized three demonstrations daily to protest the arrest of the women and the mishandling of the election, and to draw attention to race relations in Americus. Finally, during another night march, police trail demonstrators, including John Lewis and Hosea Williams, as they gather at Sumter County Courthouse. The protesters again spread blankets on the sidewalk before singing, clapping, and listening to speakers. After ten days of increasing racial tensions and demonstrations, federal judge W. A. Bootle ordered that the incarcerated women be released and that segregated elections end in Sumter County on July 30.

She goes on to describe the growth of Habitat for Humanity in the United States and internationally, and she explains the religious principles of the organization as well as linking it to the Civil Rights Movement."],"dc_format":["image/gif","image/jpeg","image/jp2","image/tiff","text/xml","application/pdf"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of online collection: Civil Rights History Project"],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["Civil rights movements--United States","Civil rights movements--Georgia","Koinonia Farm","Habitat for Humanity International, Inc"],"dcterms_title":["Linda Fuller Degelmann interview conducted by Emilye Crosby in Americus, Georgia, 2013-05-28"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["American Folklife Center"],"edm_is_shown_by":null,"edm_is_shown_at":["http://www.loc.gov/item/afc2010039_crhp0089/"],"dcterms_temporal":null,"dcterms_rights_holder":null,"dcterms_bibliographic_citation":null,"dlg_local_right":null,"dcterms_medium":["oral histories (literary works)","interviews","transcripts","moving images"],"dcterms_extent":["6 video files of 6 (Apple ProRes 422 HQ, QuickTime wrapper) (128 min.) : digital, sound, color. 1 transcript (53 pages)","application/x-video","image/jpg"],"dlg_subject_personal":null,"dcterms_subject_fast":null,"fulltext":null},{"id":"ugabma_wsbn_wsbn38840","title":"Series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips of the state of community race relations including civil rights demonstrations, a funeral procession, and interviews in Americus, Georgia, 1965 July","collection_id":"ugabma_wsbn","collection_title":"WSB-TV Newsfilm Collection","dcterms_contributor":["Walker, T.

Next the camera shows scenes from a civil rights demonstration at a grocery store, possibly a Kwik-Chek in Americus. First, demonstrators push grocery carts through the isles of the store. After this demonstrators walk outside a building led by three African American girls; the demonstrators appear to be singing. Next an interracial group is seen outside of a Kwik-Chek in Americus. A white man stands in front of doors facing a crowd of African Americans. There is some scuffling before state troopers step in and separate the white and African Americans in the group. An African American is seen carrying another man over his shoulder as he walks away from the group.","Later the clip returns to the funeral for Andrew Whatley, a white young man who was shot during racial unrest earlier in the week. White pallbearers carry a casket out of First Baptist Church. Two men walk away from the church with a woman dressed in black between them. Other mourners follow the three out of the church and the hearse drives past the building. Several white policemen in shirtsleeves stand near a car and put their hats on as they walk away. A man is seen lying in the backseat of a car. A police car drives away with several officers inside it.","Next, images of the demonstration inside the store are repeated, interspersed with images of a Colonial Store. The steeple of the First Baptist church is seen through some trees as cars drive past the church; images of the funeral seen earlier are also repeated. Outside the church, a sign advertises the First Baptist church. After this the camera shows scenes from the downtown area of Americus including the Sumter County Courthouse and the state patrol building. Outside the state patrol building is a sign indicating that it is post number ten. Later men are seen outside of the Wiggins Sing Station. The Wiggins Sing Station, on the corner of Lamar and Hampton Streets, was where Andrew Whatley was standing when he was shot and killed.","The sound portion of the clip begins with an interview between reporter Tom Brokaw and Lyda Whatley, the mother of the young man killed during the racial unrest earlier in the week. Mrs. Whatley indicates that her son worked two jobs and sometimes would go out to eat before coming home after work. Whatley reports that her son worked during the day at the Manhattan Shirt Company and in the evenings at the drive-in in town. According to Whatley, she has lived in Americus for thirty-two years and her son was born and raised in the community. The camera briefly focuses on a Georgia State Patrol car before returning to the interview with Brokaw and Mrs. Whatley. Mrs. Whatley explains that her son had been inducted into the Marine Corps the week before and was scheduled to report in November. Brokaw then ends the interview, thanking Mrs. Whatley for her time and expressing his sympathy at her loss. Following a break in the clip Brokaw interviews Americus mayor T. Griffith Walker who implies the demonstrations were uncalled for and asserts \"the question which is at issue is really for the courts.\" Walker also reports that the city police and state troopers are providing protection for the demonstrators.","Next, an African American civil rights leader, possibly Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) worker Willie Bolden, speaks to a gathering of African Americans as state troopers stand behind the crowd. Bolden rejects the idea that demonstrations caused the violence in the community. As he speaks, the camera shows the listening audience. After more images of demonstrators and state troopers, as well as demonstrators singing \"Keep your eyes on the Prize,\" Bolden again speaks to the audience. He expresses regret at the death of Andrew Whatley and reminds his listeners that following the news of Whatley's death, the civil rights movement stopped demonstrating for twenty-four hours. However, Bolden expresses regret that neither the halt in demonstrations nor the death of Whatley has brought any changes in the community. He asserts the demonstrators' desire to be free He also criticizes mayor Walker for taking a personal vacation during the demonstration. Bolden then relates a conversation he had with SCLC leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in which he told King to prepare to come to Americus because \"unless we can solve the problems of this city today, somebody will die very soon.\" Bolden speaks about asking friends from around the country to \"remove this ill from this society.\" Later another civil rights worker speaks, relating the counsel from Governor Carl Sanders that the civil rights workers should solve their problems through the courts instead of demonstrations. The speaker disagrees with this advice and suggest that \"there are also some things that you don't need to work through the courts.\"","After this is another silent portion where men from the Georgia State Patrol stand together in a wooded area and receive instruction from a uniformed officer, drive in patrol cars, and lead an African American man through a doorway. Later Atlanta businessman and segregationist Lester Maddox speaks to a white crowd in a gymnasium. The audience listen and applauds Maddox's speech and is later seen standing outside in the dark. Following a break in the clip the camera focuses on a building with a sign over the doorway announcing the \"Freedom Center.\" An African American boy sits on the bed of a truck; the truck bed is filled with melons. African American demonstrators participate in a daytime march. One of the signs carried by the demonstrators has the slogan \"I don't want to keep my money but you are keeping my rights.\" African Americans sitting on a porch watch the demonstrators. The protesters walk past a state patrol car, through the downtown area, and near the Sumter County Courthouse. At one point the demonstrators stand in a circle and clap their hands and appear to sign. The clip ends with patrolmen and white citizens observing the demonstration.","On July 20, four African American women were arrested for standing in the whites-only line during a county-held special election for Justice of the Peace in Sumter County, Georgia. One of the women arrested was Mary Fishe Bell, the first African American political candidate in Sumter County. After the women's arrest, the Sumter County Movement, the local civil rights organization, held demonstrations three times a day to draw attention to race relations in Americus and to protest the arrest and the mishandling of the election. On July 28, Andrew Whatley, a 21-year-old white Marine recruit was shot to death from a passing car occupied by two African American men. Whatley had been standing with a crowd of whites at Wiggins Sing Station; some of the crowd were throwing rocks at black drivers as they passed.  Whatley's funeral was held on July 31 at First Baptist Church in Americus. After ten days of increasing racial tensions and demonstrations, federal judge W. A. Bootle ordered that the incarcerated women be released and that segregated elections end in Sumter County. African Americans agreed to halt demonstrations in Americus on August 13, 1965.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn38840"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African Americans--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Americus","African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Americus","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights--Georgia--Americus","Funeral rites and ceremonies--Georgia--Americus","Reporters and reporing--Georgia--Americus","Mayors--Georgia--Americus","Governors--Georgia","Police, State--Georgia","Segregation--Georgia--Americus","Interviews--Georgia--Americus","Police vehicles--Georgia--Americus","Protest marches--Georgia--Americus","Rain and rainfall--Georgia--Americus","Boycotts--Georgia--Americus","Race relations","Picketing--Georgia--Americus","Signs and signboards--Georgia--Americus","Direct action--Georgia--Americus","Hearses (Vehicles)--Georgia--Americus","Coffins--Georgia--Americus","Americus (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["Series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips of the state of community race relations including civil rights demonstrations, a funeral procession, and interviews in Americus, Georgia, 1965 July"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

The clip begins with an African American man, possibly incarcerated, being led by a white man.  Two African Americans, Eddie James Lamar and Charlie Lee Hopkins, were arrested following the July 28 shooting death of 21-year-old white Americus resident Andrew Whatley.  Following a break in the clip, unidentified buildings appear, as do Georgia patrol cars and state troopers. Next, Maddox speaks to a crowd gathered in an Americus recreation facility.  He explains that he is in Americus on a \"mission of peace.\"  He calls for the restoration of states' rights, exclaiming, \"We are going to get them like George Wallace in the White House and save this great land!\"  Maddox urges the crowd to make their feelings known \"at the voting booths and with your dollar.\"  Maddox, who says, \"I belong here in Georgia,\" challenges those who criticize his presence in Americus as an \"outsider\" and condemns them for not being equally critical of the nonresident African Americans who have come to support the civil rights movement in Americus.  Maddox also disparages the media for what he sees as inconsistency; he expresses appreciation for media presence at the rally and for fairness and kindness in the past, but then faults them for calling his wife while she is recuperating in the hospital.  \"I'm proud to be called a segregationist,\" he says, \"but I challenge the news media to call 'Light bulb' Johnson, or [Atlanta mayor] Ivan Allen, or 'No not one' Vandiver an integrationist.  That's what they are, every one of them.\"  Maddox here refers to President Lyndon Johnson and Georgia governor Ernest Vandiver.  He blames President Johnson, editor and publisher of the Atlanta Constitution Ralph McGill, and \"the communists\" for conspiring \"to bring about this great tragedy that has taken place in Americus, Georgia.\"  Racial tensions in Americus, which had been building since the July 20 arrest of four African American women for standing in a \"white\" line during an election, boiled over on July 28.  On July 28, Andrew Whatley, a 21-year-old white marine recruit was shot to death from a passing car occupied by two African American men.  Whatley had been standing near a crowd of whites, some of whom were throwing rocks at black drivers as they passed.  Maddox also denounces \"cowardly\" businessmen for valuing business more than standing up for their beliefs.  Maddox closed his Atlanta restaurant chain the Pickrick rather than desegregate.","Title supplied by cataloger.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn48501"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African American men--Georgia--Americus","Central business districts--Georgia--Americus","Communism--Georgia--Americus","Police--Georgia--Americus","Police vehicles--Georgia","Segregation--Georgia--Americus","Voting--Georgia--Americus","Reporters and reporting--Georgia--Americus","African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Americus","Subversive activities--Georgia--Americus","Governors--Georgia--Election, 1965","Political campaigns--Georgia","Demonstrations--Georgia--Americus","Americus (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Georgia--Politics and government--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["Series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips of Lester Maddox promoting states' rights and segregation as he speaks to a white audience in Americus, Georgia, 1965 July 29"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

The clip begins with a mixed race crowd that appears to be on the verge of fighting surrounding police officers in front of a grocery store. Two men in suits appear to watch events in front of the Farr Appliance Company store. Next, a group of African Americans march in downtown Americus; they follow a car while flanked by law enforcement officers. A man in a white shirt speaks to an officer; afterward, two officers lead a white man away from a crowd. Later, images of the attempted integration of First Baptist Church and First Methodist Church are interspersed with each other. At First Baptist Church, a group of white people line up on the steps of the church. The group attempting to integrate the church stands with their backs to the camera; a white man speaks to them and appears to point toward the church before the group walks away. When the pro-integration group approaches First Methodist Church, they find a line of white parishioners blocking access at the top of the church stairs; the pro-integration group chooses to kneel and pray at the bottom of the stairs. Tom Brokaw and another white man also appear in the clip, and police officers direct traffic. On August 1, 1965, two six-person groups tried to integrate the two churches. The groups were turned away twice at First Baptist Church and once at First Methodist Church. The following week, August 8, sixteen civil rights workers including John Lewis also attempted to integrate the churches and were arrested. Finally, images of the march seen earlier in the clip include a young African American man speaking to the gathered crowd. After sporadic civil rights demonstrations between 1963 and 1965, the Sumter County Movement, assisted by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), stepped up demonstrations after the July 20, 1965 arrest of four African American women for standing in the \"white\" line during a county election. Demonstrations between July 20 and August 13, 1965 included marches, protests at the Sumter County Courthouse, economic boycotts, and attempts to integrate local churches. According to a New York Times article, integrated groups were turned away from First Baptist and First Methodist churches earlier in the year as well, although Americus Roman Catholic, Episcopal, and Presbyterian churches were all successfully integrated.","Reporter: Brokaw, Tom","Title supplied by cataloger.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn48457"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Americus","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Americus","Segregation--Georgia--Americus","Police--Georgia--Americus","African American children--Georgia--Americus","Wade in the water (Song)","African Americans--Songs and music","Methodist church buildings--Georgia--Americus","Baptist church buildings--Georgia--Americus","Central business districts--Georgia--Americus","Protest marches--Georgia--Americus","Prayer--Georgia--Americus","Public worship--Georgia--Americus","Social integration--Georgia--Americus","Religion and politics--Georgia--Americus","Religion and social problems--Georgia--Americus","Baptists--Georgia--Americus","Stores, Retail--Georgia--Americus","Grocery trade--Georgia--Americus","Methodists--Georgia--Americus","Discrimination in public accommodations--Georgia--Americus","Picketing--Georgia--Americus","Americus (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["Series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips of demonstrations and unsuccessful integration attempts at First Baptist Church and First Methodist Church in Americus, Georgia, 1965 August 1"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.
