THE CONSTITUTION AND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE by HOWARD ZINN

Zinn, dedicated to freedom and justice, questions the power structure established in the constitution as a representation of oligarchical rule rather than the democracy suggested in the Declaration of Independence. He examines the way power and wealth in the hands of the few create and perpetual power and wealth in the hands of the few as manifest in the electoral college.

SPEECH ON FREEDOM SUMMER AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY by ROBERT P. MOSES 1964

Bob Moses gave this address on the plans for Freedom Summer at Stanford University on April 24, 1964. Moses described the violence civil rights organizers encountered in Mississippi, and he was candid about the initial opposition of his local staff to bringing in white volunteers from outside.

Moses spoke at Stanford for more than an hour. He said that bringing in the mostly white young volunteers to the Deep South would help get the civil rights story out to the rest of the country.
