2 Chancellor With amazing cooperation from the demonstrators, three NBC cameramen were able to dolly a camera into position to pick-up a series of inter¬ views with Negro leaders, including the Freedom Democratic Party's national committeeman, the Rev. Edwin King; Aaron Henry; Fannie Lou Hamer and lesser known members of the Freedom Party's l6 delegates, as well as members of the state police. Chancellor's position afforded viewers and listeners a closeup of the carefully developed techniques of non-violent demonstration practiced by Negro groups fighting for civil rights. Among other practices, viewers saw the "walkie-talkie" operators responsible for controlling the movement of the demonstrators, the human chain — linked by hands — to maintain a center of attention for the leaders, and they heard a variety of freedom songs, plus the orders of leaders to maintain calm and not to press too close. Throughout the hour of his exclusive coverage. Chancellor was as much a source of information to the demonstrators as to TV and radio audiences across the country relaying news from the NBC News control room of events taking place inside Convention Hall.
