"I ALSO TOLD MY CHILDREN:

" 'WITH EVERY OPPORTUNITY AND PRIVILEGE COMES RESPONSIBILITY.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE TO ANYBODY. YOU WORK AT IT ALL THE TIME FROM
THE DAY YOU ARE BORN TO THE DAY YOU DIE. YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR
BILLS; YOU HAVE TO KEEP UP YOUR PROPERTY; YOU HAVE TO TRAIN YOUR
CHILDREN TO BE GOOD CITIZENS.'

"THOSE OF US WHO UNDERSTAND THAT NEGROES CAN 'MAKE IT' HAVE
AN OBLIGATION TO TALK TO OUR PEOPLE, TO LET THEM KNOW THAT BECAUSE
THEY ARE NEGROES DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN'T DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE."

MRS. CONEY HAS MORE TO SAY, AND WE'LL READ THE REST OF HER
STATEMENT THE NEXT TIME. UNTIL THEN, GOODBYE, AND THANK YOU FOR
LISTENING.
