Mlk's strategy - which was 1. to keep filling the jails and 2. to use police officers short temper to get a reaction which will create publicity.

Pritchett's strategy - He read Mlk's book, he realized that he had to let them demonstrate but he controlled how they did it. He wouldn't let them get in mass groups, and made sure his officers didn't use violence. He organized a sophisticated system of jailing so that the jails wouldn't fill up. Also someone mysteriously was paying the fines for the people in jail, so they wouldn't stay in jail where they actually wanted to be.

SNCC - wanted King's popularity but not his lectures in Albany. Mlk made it hard for them because he was constantly leaving and returning.

- MLK viewed federal government as an ally. When the federal government didn't rule in favor of the movement it was a giant blow to MLK's strategy in Albany. President Kennedy tried to move away from the issue.

MFDP - Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party resulted because there was no black representation in Miss. Vice President was Fannie Lou Hamer , wanted a seat at the democratic convention. August 22nd Atlantic city democratic convention was televised. Johnson was a southern Democrat from Texas. He gave his speech at the same time the Hamer planned to speak so it wouldn't be put on tv. The MFDP was given two seats at large but wouldn't have a vote. The committee agreed to bar any future discrimination. All but four whites representing Miss, walked out. Both sides were unhappy w/ the decision. Johnson didn't interfere because he didn't want to lose votes. He could help the movement more by being president.
