‘Going to vote like the spirit say vote’
Foot soldiers of civil rights movement realize lifelong dream

Albany, Georgia: Rutha Mae Harris backed her silver Town Car out of the
driveway early Tuesday morning, pointed it toward her polling place on
Mercer Avenue and started to sing.
“I’m going to vote like the spirit say vote,“ Harris chanted softly. …
As a 21-year-old student, she had bellowed that same freedom song at mass
meetings at Mount Zion Baptist Church back in 1961, the year Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, a universe away. She sang it again while marching
on Albany’s City Hall, where she and other black students demanded the
right to vote, and in the cramped and filthy cells of the city jail, which the
Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. described as the worst he had ever inhabited.
For those like Harris who withstood jailings and beatings and threats
to their livelihoods, all because they wanted to vote, the short drive to the
polls on Tuesday culminated a lifelong journey from a time that is at once
unrecognizable and eerily familiar here in southwest Georgia.
As they exited the voting booths, some in wheelchairs, others with
canes, these foot soldiers of the civil rights movement could not suppress
either their jubilation or their astonishment at having voted for an AfricanAmerican for president of the United States. …
“King made the statement that he viewed the Promised Land, won’t
get there, but somebody will get there, and that day has dawned,“ said Boyd,
81, who pushed his wife in a wheelchair to the polls late Tuesday morning.
“I’m glad that it has.“ …
Yes, the world had changed in 47 years. At City Hall, the offices
once occupied by the segregationist mayor, Asa Kelley Jr., and the police
chief, Laurie Pritchett, are now filled by Mayor Willie Adams and Chief
James Younger, both of whom are black. But much in this black-majority
city of 75,000 also seems the same: neighborhoods remain starkly delineated
by race, blacks are still five times more likely than whites to live in poverty
and the public schools have so resegregated that 9 of every 10 students are
black.
Harris, a retired special education teacher who was jailed three times
in 1961 and 1962, was so convinced that Obama could not win white support
that she backed Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the primaries. “I just
didn’t feel it was time for a black man, to be honest,“ she said. “But the Lord
has revealed to me that it is time for a change.“ …
Among the things Harris appreciates about Obama is that even
though he was in diapers while she was in jail, he seems to respect what
came before. “He’s of a different time and place, but he knows whose shoulders he’s standing on,“ she said.
When the movement came to Albany in 1961, fewer than 100 of the
Dougherty County’s 20,000 black residents were registered to vote, said the
Reverend Charles Sherrod, one of the first field workers sent here by the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Literacy tests made a mockery
of due process – Boyd remembers being asked by a registrar how many bub-

bles were in a bar of soap – and bosses made it clear to black workers that
registration might be incompatible with continued employment. …
Sherrod, 71, who settled in Albany and continues to lead a civil
rights group here, argues that the movement succeeded; it simply took time.
… “This is what we prayed for, this is what we worked for,“ he said. “We
have a legitimate chance to be a democracy.“ …
Mount Zion has now been preserved as a landmark, attached to a
new $ 4 million civil rights museum that was financed through a voterapproved sales tax increase. Across the street, Shiloh Baptist, founded in
1888, still holds services in the sanctuary where King preached at mass
meetings.
Among those leading the worship Sunday was the associate pastor,
Henry Mathis, 53, a former city commissioner whose grandmother was a
movement stalwart. He could not let the moment pass without looking back.
...
“We sang through the years that we shall overcome, but our Father,
our God, we pray now that you show that we have overcome.”

Marketing to Young People: Branding and Advertising
This is part of a short story titled “The Loneliness of the Long-distance Runner”,
published in 1959. The protagonist and I-narrator Colin is a poor Nottingham
teenager. After his father died, his family, i.e. his mother and his brother Mike, get
5oo £ (about 2000 £ today) from the insurance company. They spend the money on
buying a TV set, a new carpet and a new bed for mother. [1975 edition, London,
pages 19 – 21]

Night after night we sat in front of the telly with a ham sandwich in one hand, a bar
of chocolate in the other, and a bottle of lemonade between our boots, while mam
was with some fancy-man upstairs on the new bed she’d ordered, and I’d never
known a family as happy as ours was in that couple of months when we’d got all
the money we needed. And when the dough ran out, I didn’t think of anything
much, but just roamed the streets – looking for another job, I told mam – hoping I
suppose to get my hands on another five hundred nicker so’s the nice life we’d got
used to could go on and on for ever. Because it’s surprising how quick you can get
used to a different life. To begin with, the adverts on the telly had shown us how
much there was in the world to buy than we’d ever dreamed of when we’d looked
into shop windows but hadn’t seen all there was to see because we didn’t have the
money to buy it with anyway. And the telly made all these things seem twenty
times better than we’d ever thought they were. Even adverts at the cinema were
cool and tame, because now we were seeing them in private at home. We used to
cock our noses up at things in shops that didn’t move, but suddenly we saw their
real value because they jumped and glittered around the screen and had some pastyfaced tart going head over heels to get her nail-polished grabbers on to them or her
lipstick lips over them, not like the crumby adverts you saw on posters or in the
newspapers as dead as doornails; these were flickering around loose, half-open
packets and tins, making you think that all you had to do was finish opening them
before they were yours like seeing an unlocked safe through a shop window with
the man gone away for a cup of tea without thinking to guard his lolly. The films
they showed were good as well, because we couldn’t get our eyes unglued from the
cops chasing the robbers who had satchel-bags crammed with cash and looked like
getting away to spend it – until the last moment. I always hoped they would end up
free to blow the lot, and could never stop wanting to put my hand out, smash into
the screen and get the copper into a half-nelson so’s he’d stop following the bloke
with the money bags.
[…] So on this foggy night we tore ourselves away from the telly and slammed the
front door behind us, setting off up our wide street like slow tugs on a river that’d
broken their hooters, for we didn’t know where the housefronts began what with the
perishing cold mist all around. I was snatched to death without an overcoat: mam
had forgotten to buy me one in the scrimmage of shopping, and by the time I
thought to remind her of it the dough was all gone. So we whistled “The Teddy
Boys Picnic” to keep us warm, and I told myself that I’d get a coat soon if it was the
last thing I did. Mike said he thought the same about himself, adding that he’d also
get some brand-new glasses with gold rims, to wear instead of his wire frames
they’d given him at the school clinic years ago.
