[Elizabeth Simpson]

This is Beth, willing to do a music performance or
puppet show, and spin fire during the afterparty. 

I can also help find the 'activist speakers'.

I do remember, one time, a man came to me after  the students began to work in Mississippi, and he said the white people  were getting tired and they were getting tense and anything might  happen. Well, I asked him, "how long he thinks we had been getting  tired?” All my life I’ve been sick and tired. Now I’m sick and tired of  being sick and tired.
