Retaliation

We got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountain top. And I don't mind.

Firemen started coming through, and er, they led us down company 22 New York City. fucking heroes, not one of them had a tear in their eye... So we got down to the bottom and the plaza, there were bodies every where and they were all on fire... roasting... it was the most horrific thing you've ever seen in your life.

And I kept thinking, I don’t want, I’m not ready to die, I don’t want to die right now.

Burst into Flame

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let Freedom ring from Look Out Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside. Let freedom ring and when this happens. When we allow freedom ring. When we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and catholic will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

We walked as quickly as we could down the stairs and I remember, er, just counting the floors and knowing that each floor I was closer to living.

There were all on fire. There were all on fire.
