now that you say that, hamer saw that herself. she knew that once she got involved in the movement, she could have moved to washington, dc or new york city and been part of the movement there in some structured organization. but she chose to stay in the community in mississippi. she knew the needs there were so great. and also she was fortified by those students, from the student nonviolent coordinating committee, the bob moses and all the young people that came to mississippi. they were willing to go through being hungry and the violence, confronting and dealing, enduring that violence. when some of her neighbors were not willing to do that. so she found that being there on the landscape in mississippi was transforming people from away, and they were going to take that with them someplace else. she said the student nonviolent coordinating committee students were for her the new kingdom on earth, that they were more christian-like than some of the people that she knew in her world. and that motivated her, that if they could be so
