I didn’t want to travel to the courthouse by myself. I asked the preacher to come go with me.
“Reverend, Let’s go down to register.”
“That’s not the Lord’s work.”

I asked the teacher to go with me.
“Teacher, will you go with me to register?”
“No, I’ll lose my job.”

I asked the farmer to go with me.
“Sam, come go with me to register.”
“No! You know I live on Mr. John’s place.”

I asked my brother to go…
“Brother will you go with me to register?”
“Boy! You gonna get killed messing with that white folks business!”

I had to go by myself…

SNCC’s Jennifer Lawson and Courtland Cox developed the comic book, “Us Colored People,” to teach people excluded from the electoral process about voting and elected positions.

This effort demonstrates SNCC’s deep commitment to political education and highlights the difference between encouraging people to vote and helping them understand the workings of their democratic society and its relevance to their daily lives.

While progressive educators continue to use SNCC’s freedom schools as a model, the freedom teaching embedded in the organizing tradition is crucial to the larger project of creating a “more perfect union” and a just society, one that encourages participation and develops the skills of all people.
