The first hand account of what happened to Mrs Fannie Lou Hamer was just terrible. She uses her voice to showcase the prejudices and racism of that time. It's really sad to read but this is our history. Not fair at all what someone have to endure because the color of their skin. No one deserves to be treated as a nobody or like a piece of trash and then the audacity these police authority had to recruit other African american men to do there dirty work. Mrs. Hamer was a brave women to stand up and continue to try to register to be a first class citizen through all the abuse.

Here Huey Long have a great point regarding the share our wealth society point of view. The ultimate goal is to not have any one go with out the basics needed to survive in the world. He argues that the wealthiest men and women should not be so wealthy that the poorest of the poor can not access daily necessities needed to survive. It seems Huey long is supporting and demanding equality for all.

Here W.E.B Dubois is showcasing some arguments or disagreements between himself and Washington. Washington reminds me of Martin Luther King and his peaceful protest and mild mannerism. Washington wanted for unity within the south between the whites and African Americans by working their way up to become a superior wealthy negro and in a ways "proving" their right to be free and active in the field and strong workers in their communities. Dubois on the other hand wanted all rights legally fought for and obtained. He believed in civil rights and laws that should be followed no mater your socio-class or status. so who is correct and who is not? I would say that it's all about how you understand what's going on and your opinion on what's right and whats wrong. I say that both were successful at achieving rights for African Americans during this time just with different strategies.
