“I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions.” ― Zora Neale Hurston

Lawrence Goyot Recalls The Black Church In The Civil Rights Movement
Lawrence Goyot was a great civil rights leader and back in 1964, an activist in Mississippi helping Black Americans to fill out all the forms so they could get the right to vote. I will be posting other clips from his interview, done by me in 1989, as a part of my 6 part PBS television series, Making Sense Of The Sixties. Back in the mid-sixties I did several films on the civil rights movement and found the black church totally supportive and many white churches equally supportive.
