The Delaney talked about the civil rights protests in the Deep South and how African Americans were controlled. Even though neither of the sisters went to this particular protest, Bessie felt bad for the people shown in the picture about that were sprayed with a forceful fire hose.

Some were willing to give up anything to help the cause.
