"SOUTHERN" STRATEGY

Sanders THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL

Sanders, in the Milwaukee Journal 

"Look at it from the middle position. Goodness, you can't expect to get the same rights as white people overnight!"

"... Man can be free
Don't be alarmed, if I am reluctant yet 
In spite of court decisions and legislation still wet
that fulfill the legal requirements of democracy;
I still look for hypocrisy. 

You see, I am mentally affected too
By promises long overdue, 
And seeing my faith and trust met
By betrayals; and yet 
I will make another try 
Upon the hope of democracy to rely."...
