- Description:
- Reverend Edwin King, Methodist minister and civil rights activist, describes his involvement in the civil rights movement in 1960's Mississippi.

King describes the lengths to which the Sovereignty Commission went to discredit activists and gives examples of spying by local and state police and the FBI. King also comments on the current racial situation in the U.S. and the future of black Americans.
