The arrest of over 3,500 Negroes in Selma, Ala., in three weeks just because they tried to vote, the sight of a Negro woman pinned to the ground by three fat deputies of Sheriff James Clark while Clark beat her face in with his billy club, the sight of a long line of Negro high school and grade school boys and girls who demonstrated in support of their parents' right to register and then were forced to run three miles with police billy clubs and electric cattle prods jabbed into their backs and ribs -- these things expose the great lie of President Johnson’s Great Society for all the world to see.
