Roland Burris and Fannie Lou Hamer: Déjà vu

I understand Sen.-elect Mr. Burris is going back to the Senate this week demanding his seat. (*Can not find source again)
Excerpt:
(Ms. Hamer) "All of this is on account we want to register [sic], to become first-class citizens, and if the Freedom Democratic Party is not seated now, I question America. Is this America, the land of the free and the home of the brave where we have to sleep with our telephones off the hooks because our lives be threatened daily because we want to live as decent human beings - in America?"

In 1965 Hamer, Victoria Gray, and Annie Devine ran for Congress and challenged the seating of the regular Mississippi representatives before the U.S. House of Representatives. Though they were unsuccessful in their challenge, the 1965 elections were later overturned. Hamer continued to be politically active and from 1968 to 1971 was a member of the Democratic National Committee from Mississippi.

With tickets that had been given them as "honored guests," the black Mississippians headed for the seats the regulars had left vacant. Michigan and North Dakota delegates offered some of their seats too and MFDP delegates took them.
Several MFDP delegates stood silently in a circle on the convention floor. For two hours, there was pandemonium as sergeants-at-arms tried to remove the MFDP delegates and various other delegations put themselves between the MFDP and the sergeants-at-arms. (This was on television. I saw it!)

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. In my opinion, when Mainstream Media can not relate any American history to the Holocaust, they make fun of it or do not make appropriate relationships. It is up to others to make those American relationships to American historical events.

Roland Burris may return to Washington next week to demand that he be accepted as the legitimate Senate appointee to replace President-elect Barack Obama and be sworn into office, according to a Burris adviser.
If Burris' appointment is not accepted, he will file a lawsuit challenging Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democratic leadership's refusal to seat him, the adviser said.
