00:00:57,325 --> 00:01:00,758
[man] I think one of the most
emotional moments of my life
3
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,795
was the night that
I was initiated into the Klan.
4
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:06,365
I was led into the Klavern
hall, which was dark.
5
00:01:06,367 --> 00:01:08,633
The only light that I could
see was a fiery cross.
6
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,638
And that...
put me through the ceremony.
7
00:01:11,139 --> 00:01:12,805
Purified me with water.
8
00:01:12,807 --> 00:01:14,541
Laid his hand
on my shoulder, says,
9
00:01:14,543 --> 00:01:16,175
"You're part of
the Invisible Empire,
10
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:18,279
United Klans of America."
11
00:01:18,646 --> 00:01:21,780
And there was a tremendous
applause throughout the auditorium.
12
00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:24,484
And I came up off the floor
really in tears.
13
00:01:24,486 --> 00:01:26,952
Because that's what I'd been
looking for all my life.
14
00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:30,590
An opportunity to be heard,
an opportunity to be something.
15
00:01:30,592 --> 00:01:32,959
- [woman] I first told him, "Hell no!"
- [audience laughs]
16
00:01:32,961 --> 00:01:36,295
I would never, ever.
But kill him, that's all I want.
17
00:01:36,297 --> 00:01:38,032
That was on my heart
to kill him.
18
00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:41,233
This is the kind of reputation
that I have in Durham.
19
00:01:41,235 --> 00:01:43,669
I'm not bragging about it,
but it is the truth.
20
00:01:43,671 --> 00:01:46,807
You can call Durham,
and they will tell you.
21
00:01:47,275 --> 00:01:51,744
Uh, no, I will not take no for an answer.
I have to have the word "yes."
22
00:01:51,746 --> 00:01:55,348
Because all of our blood,
when it comes out, is the same color.
23
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:58,652
I haven't seen any blood different
yet than the color of mine.
24
00:01:58,654 --> 00:02:01,988
And I'm sayin' whatever you believe in...
I keep sayin' it...
25
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:05,027
- stand on it, baby, stand on it.
- [audience applauding]
26
00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:17,473
[crowd clamoring]
27
00:02:21,843 --> 00:02:24,011
[clamoring continues]
28
00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:31,817
[chanting] Equal housing now!
Equal housing now!
29
00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,687
Equal housing now!
30
00:02:33,689 --> 00:02:36,391
[woman] They call this Magic
City, Mr. Atkins.
31
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:38,927
Ain't no magic here.
32
00:02:39,828 --> 00:02:43,863
Abe Greenfeld ain't nothin'
but a vile slumlord.
33
00:02:43,865 --> 00:02:45,332
You know it, and I know it.
34
00:02:45,334 --> 00:02:47,834
And the black people
of East Durham
35
00:02:47,836 --> 00:02:50,105
have the same rights
as anybody else.
36
00:02:51,139 --> 00:02:53,740
This girl, Mr. Atkins,
37
00:02:53,742 --> 00:02:59,014
this young lady is a single
mother of three children.
38
00:02:59,716 --> 00:03:03,586
And she wake up this morning
to an eviction notice.
39
00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:08,189
- But there's no hot water. What, baby, for two weeks?
- That's right, Miss A.
40
00:03:08,191 --> 00:03:11,225
- Two weeks, and you say, what? No toilet?
- No toilet.
41
00:03:11,227 --> 00:03:14,631
No toilet. And that ain't
no way for no human to live.
42
00:03:21,203 --> 00:03:22,802
[stifled laugh]
43
00:03:22,804 --> 00:03:26,208
Mr. Atkins,
we done writin' letters here.
44
00:03:26,709 --> 00:03:28,777
We want to be heard before
tomorrow night's ruling.
45
00:03:29,245 --> 00:03:32,213
Miss Atwater,
you know our agenda is tight,
46
00:03:32,215 --> 00:03:36,284
and we simply cannot allot time
to everybody that wants to speak.
47
00:03:36,286 --> 00:03:39,687
- [telephone rings]
- Now thank you. Show yourselves out.
48
00:03:39,689 --> 00:03:43,257
Mr. Tucker, to what
do I owe this pleasure?
49
00:03:43,259 --> 00:03:45,428
- Sit down.
- [Atkins laughs]
50
00:03:45,928 --> 00:03:49,032
And a mighty fine afternoon
to you, too.
51
00:03:49,633 --> 00:03:52,800
Now you listen to me, Councilman!
And you too, Mr. Tucker!
52
00:03:52,802 --> 00:03:56,103
We ain't goin' nowhere until
we get down to the brass tacks.
53
00:03:56,105 --> 00:03:58,265
- You understand me?
- Everything all right here, Bill?
54
00:03:59,975 --> 00:04:04,145
Mr. Oldham, now we have been
sitting here for over half an hour.
55
00:04:04,147 --> 00:04:06,349
- The councilman ain't done nothin' but...
- Ann.
56
00:04:06,948 --> 00:04:10,687
Ann. We're gonna give you your
chance to speak tomorrow night.
57
00:04:12,822 --> 00:04:13,956
Are we good now?
58
00:04:15,825 --> 00:04:17,460
[chuckles] Not yet.
59
00:04:19,596 --> 00:04:20,664
Come on.
60
00:04:28,405 --> 00:04:30,474
[insects buzzing]
61
00:04:33,109 --> 00:04:35,610
[man] Samuel Grace. Ayes?
62
00:04:35,612 --> 00:04:37,748
- [all] Aye.
- Nays?
63
00:04:39,116 --> 00:04:42,918
Okay, then. Fred Eggert,
Gene Waddle, and Samuel Grace
64
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120
are tentatively approved
as new citizens
65
00:04:45,122 --> 00:04:47,255
of North Carolina Unit Nine
of the Invisible Empire,
66
00:04:47,257 --> 00:04:48,790
United Klans of America.
67
00:04:48,792 --> 00:04:51,325
Kligraph is directed
to certify the petitions
68
00:04:51,327 --> 00:04:53,961
and prepare the oaths
for ceremony.
69
00:04:53,963 --> 00:04:55,365
Roy, next week should be fine.
70
00:04:56,633 --> 00:04:59,434
Final item.
Combat and firearms training
71
00:04:59,436 --> 00:05:01,405
resumes this Saturday
from noon to 4:00
72
00:05:02,071 --> 00:05:05,376
under the supervision of
second officer Floyd Kelly.
73
00:05:06,042 --> 00:05:09,544
And I'll remind the Youth Corps members
that this training is mandatory.
74
00:05:09,546 --> 00:05:12,047
Y'all hear me?
I'm talkin' to you.
75
00:05:12,049 --> 00:05:14,251
- Yeah.
- [men chuckling]
76
00:05:15,018 --> 00:05:16,220
Let's bow our heads.
77
00:05:19,691 --> 00:05:22,491
Heavenly Father, give us strong
minds, great hearts,
78
00:05:22,493 --> 00:05:24,428
true faith, and ready hands.
79
00:05:24,863 --> 00:05:27,497
Keep us unfettered
from the world
80
00:05:27,499 --> 00:05:28,930
that we might fight
the good fight
81
00:05:28,932 --> 00:05:30,999
and be worthy
to claim the prize.
82
00:05:31,001 --> 00:05:35,472
May we as brethren and Klansmen
be steadfast and unremovable.
83
00:05:35,905 --> 00:05:37,639
As we go hence
from this Klavern
84
00:05:37,641 --> 00:05:39,976
into the struggle
of the alien world,
85
00:05:40,611 --> 00:05:45,382
let us not forget the crowning
glory of a Klansman is to serve.
86
00:05:46,016 --> 00:05:48,350
Non silba, sed anthar.
87
00:05:48,352 --> 00:05:51,221
[all]
Not for self, but for others!
88
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:53,488
- Get him ready.
- Mm-hmm.
89
00:05:53,490 --> 00:05:55,457
- You can say that again.
- He was born ready.
90
00:05:55,459 --> 00:05:56,494
Ready or not.
91
00:05:57,562 --> 00:05:58,630
Mr. Ellis?
92
00:05:59,129 --> 00:06:00,996
Oh, hey.
93
00:06:00,998 --> 00:06:03,533
This is, uh, this is the new
boy I was telling you about.
94
00:06:03,535 --> 00:06:05,668
Oh, sure. Sure, sure.
95
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:07,470
Sure, Ben.
Come on in the office.
96
00:06:07,472 --> 00:06:08,807
I'll see you fellas.
97
00:06:11,443 --> 00:06:12,710
Have a seat.
98
00:06:17,582 --> 00:06:19,115
What's your name, son?
99
00:06:19,117 --> 00:06:20,920
[clears throat]
Leonard, sir.
100
00:06:22,822 --> 00:06:24,388
Don't be nervous, Leonard.
101
00:06:25,355 --> 00:06:27,859
Ben here tells me you'd like to
be a part of the Youth Corps.
102
00:06:28,726 --> 00:06:29,861
Yes. Yes, sir.
103
00:06:31,429 --> 00:06:33,565
Why do you want to be in
the Youth Corps, Leonard?
104
00:06:34,265 --> 00:06:35,934
[clears throat]
To help...
105
00:06:36,434 --> 00:06:39,335
To help protect
the white race of America
106
00:06:39,337 --> 00:06:43,475
from the communist niggers
and Jews who threaten us, sir.
107
00:06:44,275 --> 00:06:45,945
- That's a good boy.
- [desk drawer opens]
108
00:06:47,011 --> 00:06:49,412
- But that's not all.
- [drawer slides shut]
109
00:06:49,414 --> 00:06:51,949
It's our rights,
our freedoms,
110
00:06:51,951 --> 00:06:53,985
our way of life
that need protecting.
111
00:06:54,753 --> 00:06:57,053
We're an endangered species,
Leonard.
112
00:06:57,055 --> 00:06:58,056
You understand?
113
00:06:58,691 --> 00:06:59,692
I do.
114
00:07:01,694 --> 00:07:02,862
Let me show you something.
115
00:07:03,429 --> 00:07:04,630
You see that?
116
00:07:05,664 --> 00:07:07,898
One day, this will be
your most prized possession.
117
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,302
It will give you everything
you need in your life.
118
00:07:10,769 --> 00:07:14,939
Brotherhood, standing in the
community, and a sense of pride
119
00:07:15,507 --> 00:07:17,809
that you're part of something
bigger than yourself.
120
00:07:18,810 --> 00:07:22,982
But most importantly,
it will be a reminder every day
121
00:07:23,648 --> 00:07:26,317
that you will no longer be
an outsider.
122
00:07:30,255 --> 00:07:31,289
[box shuts]
123
00:07:31,924 --> 00:07:33,826
Welcome to the Youth Corps,
Leonard.
124
00:07:34,927 --> 00:07:36,160
[knocking]
125
00:07:36,962 --> 00:07:38,564
We gonna
take care of that thing?
126
00:07:38,864 --> 00:07:39,965
Yeah.
127
00:07:40,499 --> 00:07:42,902
Ben, bring the car around,
out back.
128
00:07:54,681 --> 00:07:56,248
[engine off]
129
00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:12,063
Now what?
130
00:08:17,536 --> 00:08:18,604
We wait.
131
00:08:20,706 --> 00:08:22,241
[man chuckling]
132
00:08:26,245 --> 00:08:28,547
- [radio: man singing ballad]
- [humming along]
133
00:08:44,564 --> 00:08:47,333
[song continues on radio,
muffled]
134
00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:56,141
[engine off]
135
00:08:58,878 --> 00:09:00,112
[car door opens]
136
00:09:03,182 --> 00:09:04,818
[dog howls]
137
00:09:10,957 --> 00:09:12,837
- She got a nigger boyfriend.
- [lighter clicks]
138
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,462
The neighbors have
been complaining.
139
00:09:21,068 --> 00:09:22,103
Stay here.
140
00:09:23,770 --> 00:09:26,439
[song continues]
141
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:49,295
Wait for the light, Wiley.
142
00:09:59,472 --> 00:10:00,507
[screams]
143
00:10:37,277 --> 00:10:39,279
[chorus vocalizing,
fading out]
144
00:10:41,515 --> 00:10:44,919
- [telephones ringing]
- [typewriters clacking]
145
00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:47,419
[sighs]
146
00:10:47,421 --> 00:10:50,057
Hey. Thank you. Mm-hmm.
147
00:10:50,591 --> 00:10:51,859
Miss Dupree.
148
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:56,797
Miss Dupree... Yes, I know,
Miss Dupree, but...
149
00:10:58,365 --> 00:10:59,467
Hold on, Miss Dupree.
150
00:11:00,168 --> 00:11:02,168
Miss Dupree says
she can't make it. Her kids...
151
00:11:02,170 --> 00:11:03,437
Oh, no. Come here.
152
00:11:04,072 --> 00:11:07,306
Cissy, you better get your ass
down to City Hall tonight.
153
00:11:07,308 --> 00:11:09,077
No, no,
I don't want to hear that.
154
00:11:09,310 --> 00:11:12,077
I have been a single mother
ever since I was 16,
155
00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:14,113
and that's a whole hell
of a lot longer than you.
156
00:11:14,115 --> 00:11:16,815
- [chuckles]
- Well, child, it's supposed to be hard.
157
00:11:16,817 --> 00:11:18,917
Are you gonna be there
later tonight or what?
158
00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,188
I better see your face
lookin' black and angry.
159
00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:23,355
Mm-hmm.
160
00:11:23,357 --> 00:11:24,592
Who's next?
161
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:32,234
[bell dings]
162
00:11:39,875 --> 00:11:41,977
Hey, Jeb, I'll take this one.
163
00:11:42,544 --> 00:11:43,979
[Jeb] Sure, Mr. Ellis.
164
00:11:44,446 --> 00:11:46,882
- Finish up that tire for me, will you?
- All right.
165
00:11:59,326 --> 00:12:00,526
Can you
fill the place tonight?
166
00:12:01,129 --> 00:12:03,263
You know I can, Carvie.
What's up?
167
00:12:03,265 --> 00:12:05,133
We're ruling
on Greenfeld tonight.
168
00:12:05,566 --> 00:12:08,134
Ann Atwater and all her
Operation Breakthrough niggers
169
00:12:08,136 --> 00:12:10,537
are gonna make a scene.
I just need numbers.
170
00:12:10,539 --> 00:12:13,475
Jesus. Greenfeld.
You gonna help that scum?
171
00:12:13,775 --> 00:12:15,844
[Carvie chuckles]
You know, C.P....
172
00:12:16,611 --> 00:12:19,112
Reelection here.
He got deep pockets.
173
00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:21,284
I need to
at least appear supportive.
174
00:12:23,318 --> 00:12:25,520
And you need to keep your
friends on the city council.
175
00:12:25,987 --> 00:12:30,490
- [car door opens, closes]
- I know, Carvie. We'll be there.
176
00:12:30,492 --> 00:12:33,628
[soul plays; hands clapping]
177
00:12:40,570 --> 00:12:43,338
[song continues]
178
00:13:05,294 --> 00:13:06,628
[song stops]
179
00:13:11,267 --> 00:13:13,870
[C.P.] Oh, you late. Yeah.
180
00:13:15,338 --> 00:13:17,504
I guess that's
what they call Africa time.
181
00:13:17,506 --> 00:13:18,973
[men laugh]
182
00:13:18,975 --> 00:13:20,535
[female clerk]
First item on the docket.
183
00:13:20,877 --> 00:13:23,311
In the matter of the
Edgemont community housing,
184
00:13:23,313 --> 00:13:26,013
the council will first hear
from Mr. Paulsen,
185
00:13:26,015 --> 00:13:28,216
representing Mr. Greenfeld.
186
00:13:28,218 --> 00:13:29,852
[spectators groaning,
murmuring]
187
00:13:32,089 --> 00:13:33,090
Good evening.
188
00:13:34,024 --> 00:13:37,191
As you know,
Mr. Greenfeld prides himself
189
00:13:37,193 --> 00:13:40,560
on providing comfortable
housing at affordable rent
190
00:13:40,562 --> 00:13:43,030
to a great many people
in Durham.
191
00:13:43,032 --> 00:13:44,665
- [murmuring]
- [gavel raps]
192
00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:46,600
The council will hear
Mr. Paulsen.
193
00:13:46,602 --> 00:13:49,570
As with any dwelling,
from time to time,
194
00:13:49,572 --> 00:13:53,574
there undoubtedly will be some...
wear and tear.
195
00:13:53,576 --> 00:13:57,711
- [laughing, scoffing]
- Mr. Greenfeld fully intends to address any of these issues
196
00:13:57,713 --> 00:13:59,116
that these folks might have.
197
00:13:59,815 --> 00:14:02,951
However, with
the recent inclement weather,
198
00:14:02,953 --> 00:14:06,855
Mr. Greenfeld has had insufficient
time to get to everyone.
199
00:14:06,857 --> 00:14:08,424
That's a lie.
200
00:14:08,725 --> 00:14:10,692
- [gavel raps]
- We ask that the council grant us
201
00:14:10,694 --> 00:14:14,231
the 90-day extension
for these minor repairs.
202
00:14:14,932 --> 00:14:15,933
Thank you.
203
00:14:16,566 --> 00:14:17,634
Miss Atwater?
204
00:14:35,419 --> 00:14:39,722
Uncomfortable housing
and unaffordable rent
205
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:44,859
are about the only two things
Abe Greenfeld has ever given us.
206
00:14:44,861 --> 00:14:46,628
[exclaiming, applauding]
207
00:14:46,630 --> 00:14:49,497
Now,
I have here with me
208
00:14:49,499 --> 00:14:54,905
79 written complaints from
the residents of Edgemont.
209
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,573
Each and every last one of
them is a code violation.
210
00:14:58,575 --> 00:15:01,545
- [exclaiming, applauding]
- [gavel raps]
211
00:15:02,113 --> 00:15:04,413
I brought 'em here with me
'cause, obviously,
212
00:15:04,415 --> 00:15:07,015
you ain't get 'em the first couple
times when they were sent here.
213
00:15:07,484 --> 00:15:10,288
[exclaiming, applauding]
214
00:15:11,154 --> 00:15:12,687
- [gavel raps]
- Order!
215
00:15:12,689 --> 00:15:15,590
Now we are fed up
with this man
216
00:15:15,592 --> 00:15:19,162
and his eviction notices
and his rent hikes.
217
00:15:19,796 --> 00:15:23,800
He has absolutely no care for
his tenants' living conditions.
218
00:15:24,067 --> 00:15:27,702
We humans. Humans shouldn't
have to live like this.
219
00:15:27,704 --> 00:15:29,971
[clamoring]
220
00:15:29,973 --> 00:15:32,276
[gavel rapping]
221
00:15:32,642 --> 00:15:35,077
Thank you for your comments,
Miss Atwater.
222
00:15:35,079 --> 00:15:37,512
And I will personally
223
00:15:37,514 --> 00:15:39,748
pass those complaints
on to the housing commission
224
00:15:39,750 --> 00:15:42,320
for future review.
225
00:15:42,954 --> 00:15:46,288
At this time,
the council will grant
226
00:15:46,290 --> 00:15:48,326
the requested
90-day extension.
227
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,996
Thank you all. This council will
now stand in recess till next week.
228
00:15:55,133 --> 00:15:56,200
Bye.
229
00:15:59,970 --> 00:16:01,490
[woman] Put down that
paper, Claiborne.
230
00:16:02,373 --> 00:16:04,908
- Put it down.
- All right. Okay, Mama.
231
00:16:06,743 --> 00:16:08,279
- Daddy.
- Huh?
232
00:16:08,678 --> 00:16:10,580
Hey, it's time
to visit with your children.
233
00:16:11,182 --> 00:16:14,052
- Claiborne!
- I'm visiting. I-I...
234
00:16:14,752 --> 00:16:15,920
I'm visiting.
235
00:16:17,889 --> 00:16:19,424
How's your marks, Tim?
236
00:16:20,858 --> 00:16:22,360
[mother]
Tim, answer your father.
237
00:16:23,861 --> 00:16:25,563
I'm gettin' an "F" in math.
238
00:16:25,830 --> 00:16:27,270
- That's 'cause you're stupid.
- Hey!
239
00:16:29,234 --> 00:16:31,268
Well, I know it ain't for
a lack of trying, son.
240
00:16:31,270 --> 00:16:33,537
Maybe your teacher can give you
a little extra time after school.
241
00:16:33,539 --> 00:16:35,174
I don't think this teacher.
242
00:16:37,543 --> 00:16:38,876
Why not?
243
00:16:39,411 --> 00:16:41,547
She said I just ain't got
a head for numbers, Daddy.
244
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:44,214
She said
that don't matter, though.
245
00:16:44,216 --> 00:16:46,717
Said I'll just work in the gas
station with you when I grow up.
246
00:16:52,223 --> 00:16:53,257
Yeah.
247
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:56,562
Maybe this teacher
ain't so smart.
248
00:16:58,830 --> 00:17:01,730
I'm gonna stop in at Murdock this
morning before I go in. See your brother.
249
00:17:01,732 --> 00:17:03,933
- Give him a kiss for us, Daddy.
- You bet.
250
00:17:03,935 --> 00:17:05,471
I don't like that place.
251
00:17:05,736 --> 00:17:07,571
That's 'cause it's full of
weirdos and retards.
252
00:17:07,573 --> 00:17:08,906
Kenneth Wade!
253
00:17:09,408 --> 00:17:11,241
Don't be
calling your brother that.
254
00:17:11,243 --> 00:17:13,009
I wasn't talking about him.
255
00:17:13,011 --> 00:17:15,214
- He just ain't as lucky as you is all.
- That's right.
256
00:17:16,014 --> 00:17:17,015
I'm sorry.
257
00:17:17,416 --> 00:17:19,184
You be sorry
cleanin' that table.
258
00:17:19,918 --> 00:17:21,153
Yes, sir.
259
00:17:24,056 --> 00:17:25,858
I better go.
Give me some sugar, sugar.
260
00:17:26,158 --> 00:17:27,326
Bye, Daddy.
261
00:17:29,928 --> 00:17:32,097
[Ann] Let's go, girls.
Move your backsides.
262
00:17:35,833 --> 00:17:36,934
Marilynn.
263
00:17:37,668 --> 00:17:41,138
Marilynn!
Girl, you forgot your lunch.
264
00:17:41,140 --> 00:17:44,642
You'd forget your head if it wasn't
attached to your shoulders. Go on now.
265
00:17:57,289 --> 00:17:59,925
[nurse] Hey, come on.
Help me out here.
266
00:18:03,662 --> 00:18:04,696
Come on.
267
00:18:11,837 --> 00:18:13,872
No. You gotta
help me out here.
268
00:18:14,806 --> 00:18:15,842
Hey, buddy.
269
00:18:16,843 --> 00:18:17,877
Hey, buddy.
270
00:18:18,645 --> 00:18:19,712
It's Daddy.
271
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,482
How you doing, pumpkin?
272
00:18:22,981 --> 00:18:24,214
You have breakfast yet?
273
00:18:24,216 --> 00:18:25,817
Pancakes this morning.
274
00:18:26,118 --> 00:18:28,555
Oh! Hey, buddy,
that's your favorite.
275
00:18:31,424 --> 00:18:32,525
Thank you.
276
00:18:36,629 --> 00:18:39,865
You got eggs
and maple syrup.
277
00:18:40,533 --> 00:18:43,570
[humming
"Oh My Darlin' Clementine"]
278
00:18:47,006 --> 00:18:48,975
Supposed to cut this up
ahead of time.
279
00:18:50,176 --> 00:18:52,011
He can't swallow all this.
280
00:18:54,147 --> 00:18:55,348
There you go.
281
00:18:55,982 --> 00:18:57,350
There you go.
282
00:19:01,321 --> 00:19:05,557
So you must multiply
the three on this side by two.
283
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,859
But remember,
whatever you do to the bottom,
284
00:19:08,861 --> 00:19:10,563
you must do to the top,
right?
285
00:19:11,897 --> 00:19:13,564
Good.
So, I want you to go ahead,
286
00:19:13,566 --> 00:19:15,602
work out the equations
that I gave you.
287
00:19:17,503 --> 00:19:19,736
Let's do the next one,
let's see what you come up with.
288
00:19:19,738 --> 00:19:21,207
All right?
289
00:19:22,675 --> 00:19:25,209
[metallic creaking]
290
00:19:25,211 --> 00:19:27,447
[alarm bell ringing]
291
00:19:31,384 --> 00:19:33,186
[children screaming, shouting]
292
00:19:34,688 --> 00:19:35,855
[woman] Don't...
293
00:19:44,265 --> 00:19:46,066
[coughing]
294
00:19:52,406 --> 00:19:54,842
[sirens approaching]
295
00:19:55,376 --> 00:19:56,443
Over here. Come on.
296
00:19:56,910 --> 00:19:58,845
[rings]
297
00:20:00,780 --> 00:20:02,248
Ann Atwater.
298
00:20:05,018 --> 00:20:06,052
Hey, baby.
299
00:20:08,489 --> 00:20:09,690
- [Marilynn] Mama!
- Oh!
300
00:20:10,156 --> 00:20:11,657
Thank God. [exhales]
301
00:20:11,659 --> 00:20:13,759
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
302
00:20:13,761 --> 00:20:16,263
Okay, baby. You go wait in the car.
I'll be right there.
303
00:20:17,431 --> 00:20:20,465
- Is anybody hurt?
- Everyone's okay. Just lots of smoke.
304
00:20:20,467 --> 00:20:21,900
How did it start?
305
00:20:21,902 --> 00:20:23,302
[man]
Most likely electrical,
306
00:20:23,304 --> 00:20:24,803
the way they keep
this place up.
307
00:20:24,805 --> 00:20:27,139
Or it could've been set
on purpose.
308
00:20:27,141 --> 00:20:29,510
No. Klan ain't that stupid.
309
00:20:29,977 --> 00:20:31,045
[man] Why do you say that?
310
00:20:31,979 --> 00:20:34,014
When a black school burns,
then...
311
00:20:36,150 --> 00:20:37,184
Then what?
312
00:20:39,688 --> 00:20:42,290
Then the black kids
gotta find a new school.
313
00:20:44,326 --> 00:20:46,227
[laughter]
314
00:20:51,598 --> 00:20:53,999
Turns out,
he left the thing in neutral.
315
00:20:54,001 --> 00:20:56,168
It rolls
right back into the ravine.
316
00:20:56,170 --> 00:20:58,337
They didn't find that truck
for two weeks.
317
00:20:58,339 --> 00:21:01,840
Oh, are you talking about how
small your pecker is again, Wiley?
318
00:21:01,842 --> 00:21:04,444
- [laughter]
- That ain't funny, Doreen.
319
00:21:04,446 --> 00:21:07,549
Yeah, it ain't that kind of funny.
That's for sure.
320
00:21:13,388 --> 00:21:16,056
[song on jukebox, muffled]
321
00:21:26,401 --> 00:21:28,336
[laughing]
322
00:21:29,904 --> 00:21:31,741
[Floyd] You-You wait...
323
00:21:35,844 --> 00:21:37,479
The guy's got one arm.
324
00:21:38,446 --> 00:21:39,447
C.P.
325
00:21:40,482 --> 00:21:44,285
Garland... Garland Keith, my friend.
You're out late.
326
00:21:45,085 --> 00:21:47,820
- You wanna have a seat?
- No, thank you. Gentlemen.
327
00:21:47,822 --> 00:21:50,990
Well, something must be awfully
important for you to lower yourself
328
00:21:50,992 --> 00:21:53,192
- to come to a dump like this, Garland.
- Floyd, come on now.
329
00:21:53,194 --> 00:21:54,396
No, no. Mm-mmm.
330
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:57,397
I like
the White Citizens' Council,
331
00:21:57,399 --> 00:22:00,834
with their parade floats and
their fancy country club meetings.
332
00:22:00,836 --> 00:22:04,671
I'm always honored to mop up after
'em, do the dirty work.
333
00:22:04,673 --> 00:22:06,906
You'll have to excuse Mr. Kelly.
It's been a long week.
334
00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:09,843
[Garland] Sorry to say it's
about to get a bit longer.
335
00:22:09,845 --> 00:22:13,212
There was a fire out at
East End Elementary today.
336
00:22:13,214 --> 00:22:14,949
So what? It's a black school.
337
00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:19,952
The parents have already filed
a petition to allow the students
338
00:22:19,954 --> 00:22:23,158
to finish out the year
at Durham Elementary School.
339
00:22:23,792 --> 00:22:26,628
There's an emergency
council meeting tomorrow.
340
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:32,000
Well... Ann Atwater?
341
00:22:32,868 --> 00:22:34,068
I think so.
342
00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:37,370
[C.P.] This ain't no small
landlord dispute, Garland.
343
00:22:37,372 --> 00:22:39,140
We gonna need everybody
on this one.
344
00:22:40,275 --> 00:22:42,076
Well, that's why
I'm here, C.P.
345
00:22:49,452 --> 00:22:50,753
Were you scared?
346
00:22:53,022 --> 00:22:54,056
A little.
347
00:22:55,124 --> 00:22:56,325
[sighs]
348
00:22:58,294 --> 00:22:59,995
It's gonna be
all right, okay?
349
00:23:01,397 --> 00:23:03,299
All right, baby?
You get some rest.
350
00:23:04,099 --> 00:23:05,802
Try to go to sleep, okay?
351
00:23:09,773 --> 00:23:10,972
You warm enough?
352
00:23:11,407 --> 00:23:12,773
[Marilynn] Mm-hmm.
353
00:23:12,775 --> 00:23:14,275
[kisses, chuckles]
354
00:23:15,611 --> 00:23:16,879
- Mama?
- Mm-hmm?
355
00:23:18,781 --> 00:23:20,516
Where are we gonna
go to school now?
356
00:23:21,851 --> 00:23:23,652
Don't you worry
about a thing, okay?
357
00:23:25,054 --> 00:23:27,790
Mama gonna find you
somewhere real nice to go.
358
00:23:29,926 --> 00:23:31,193
Say your prayers.
359
00:23:34,363 --> 00:23:36,330
[male reporter]
The fire was strictly limited
360
00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:39,099
to the building's facilities
and perhaps equipment.
361
00:23:39,101 --> 00:23:41,903
[man] I know your first appearance
here, you can't make an opinion...
362
00:23:41,905 --> 00:23:44,304
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to Tim's school.
363
00:23:44,306 --> 00:23:45,342
Mmm.
364
00:23:46,309 --> 00:23:48,443
Well, they gonna
put 'em somewhere.
365
00:23:48,445 --> 00:23:50,514
Ain't gonna be
in Durham Elementary.
366
00:23:51,013 --> 00:23:53,683
Tim having enough trouble
without more distractions.
367
00:23:55,652 --> 00:23:58,721
May have to look into one of them
private schools outside of town.
368
00:23:59,355 --> 00:24:03,323
- Oh, yeah. How we gonna pay for that?
- I'm workin' on it.
369
00:24:03,325 --> 00:24:06,595
It ain't gonna work until you start
sellin' gas to the other half of Durham.
370
00:24:11,935 --> 00:24:13,135
What's that
supposed to mean?
371
00:24:13,803 --> 00:24:15,070
You know what it means.
372
00:24:15,639 --> 00:24:17,639
- That's not fair.
- Oh, fair.
373
00:24:17,641 --> 00:24:20,542
- Hey.
- Come on. It's not fair, it's a fact.
374
00:24:20,544 --> 00:24:22,143
It's not fair
'cause you know I can't.
375
00:24:22,145 --> 00:24:23,912
How's it gonna look
if the president of the Klan
376
00:24:23,914 --> 00:24:25,813
is puttin' gasoline
in a nigger's car?
377
00:24:25,815 --> 00:24:27,715
- How's it gonna look to my Klan folk?
- Oh. Oh, I see.
378
00:24:27,717 --> 00:24:31,185
I... I didn't know
that the Klan pays your bills.
379
00:24:31,187 --> 00:24:33,655
- I didn't think so.
- [groans] Here we go.
380
00:24:33,657 --> 00:24:35,691
You spend all that time
at Klavern hall
381
00:24:35,693 --> 00:24:39,227
jaw-jackin' about them niggers
and them commies and them Jews.
382
00:24:39,229 --> 00:24:41,498
- I don't sound like that.
- Yeah, you do.
383
00:24:44,569 --> 00:24:46,001
- Give me some...
- Eww!
384
00:24:46,003 --> 00:24:47,504
Claiborne Ellis,
you smell like beer.
385
00:25:08,124 --> 00:25:10,628
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to our school.
386
00:25:12,228 --> 00:25:15,731
This emergency council meeting
was called late last night
387
00:25:15,733 --> 00:25:18,199
after an apparent
electrical fire
388
00:25:18,201 --> 00:25:21,904
destroyed nearly half
of East End Elementary School.
389
00:25:21,906 --> 00:25:24,807
They've been in session
for nearly three hours now.
390
00:25:24,809 --> 00:25:27,478
[spectators chattering]
391
00:25:58,776 --> 00:26:01,945
This council is facing
some difficult decisions.
392
00:26:01,947 --> 00:26:06,783
Tonight, we've had to consider how
these decisions will affect the students
393
00:26:06,785 --> 00:26:09,121
of not one school, but two.
394
00:26:10,022 --> 00:26:12,521
We've heard testimony
from the marshal
395
00:26:12,523 --> 00:26:15,290
that eight classrooms
and three common areas,
396
00:26:15,292 --> 00:26:16,593
including the gymnasium,
397
00:26:16,595 --> 00:26:18,227
were unaffected by the fire.
398
00:26:18,229 --> 00:26:19,929
- Unaffected?
- Hey.
399
00:26:19,931 --> 00:26:22,131
- Have you been to the school?
- She's breakin' the rules.
400
00:26:22,133 --> 00:26:24,533
No, no. Ain't nobody talkin' to
you, C.P., so shut your mouth.
401
00:26:24,535 --> 00:26:26,935
- Miss Atwater, you've had your time.
- I've seen the school.
402
00:26:26,937 --> 00:26:29,271
And if that marshal says that
school is habitable for children...
403
00:26:29,273 --> 00:26:30,973
Miss Atwater,
you have had your time.
404
00:26:30,975 --> 00:26:33,442
...then he's just lyin'
or he just plain stupid!
405
00:26:33,444 --> 00:26:35,912
- [C.P.] Why don't you shut up?
- Don't make no sense.
406
00:26:35,914 --> 00:26:38,482
- [gavel raps]
- [clamoring]
407
00:26:42,954 --> 00:26:43,989
[man] Shut up!
408
00:26:44,555 --> 00:26:46,158
We will have quiet
in the chamber!
409
00:26:48,259 --> 00:26:50,527
- [clamoring quiets]
- Now what we talkin' about is important,
410
00:26:50,529 --> 00:26:53,331
and you're gonna damn well
listen to us, Mr. Steele.
411
00:26:53,899 --> 00:26:55,033
[Carvie] Miss Atwater.
412
00:26:55,734 --> 00:26:56,735
Miss Atwater.
413
00:26:57,569 --> 00:27:00,872
Kindly take your seat before
I have a deputy remove you.
414
00:27:15,721 --> 00:27:16,755
Now then...
415
00:27:18,056 --> 00:27:19,723
it is the opinion
of this council
416
00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:22,527
that there remain
two basic questions.
417
00:27:23,327 --> 00:27:28,765
One, is East End
a safe and habitable place
418
00:27:28,767 --> 00:27:31,303
for its students to finish
their school year?
419
00:27:32,071 --> 00:27:35,973
And two, would the students
of Durham Elementary
420
00:27:35,975 --> 00:27:41,047
be unfairly burdened by the sudden
and massive influx of new students?
421
00:27:44,016 --> 00:27:46,953
Our answer
to both of these questions...
422
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,587
is yes.
423
00:27:49,589 --> 00:27:51,457
[scattered applause]
424
00:27:53,826 --> 00:27:56,927
With the limited number of
classrooms that remain at East End,
425
00:27:56,929 --> 00:28:00,563
the students will be put
on a split-shift system.
426
00:28:00,565 --> 00:28:05,037
One from 7:00 a.m. to noon,
the other from noon to 5:00.
427
00:28:05,437 --> 00:28:07,104
[cameraman]
We're good. I got it.
428
00:28:07,106 --> 00:28:08,241
[man] Miss Atwater?
429
00:28:11,043 --> 00:28:12,542
Who the hell are you?
430
00:28:12,544 --> 00:28:14,814
Miss Atwater,
we're from the NAACP.
431
00:28:19,218 --> 00:28:21,619
[male reporter]
WDNC news time, 9:00 a.m.
432
00:28:21,621 --> 00:28:25,923
Recapping our top story, the NAACP's
legal action is causing quite a stir
433
00:28:25,925 --> 00:28:27,625
inside the county's
district court,
434
00:28:27,627 --> 00:28:29,727
one source saying
he would not want to be
435
00:28:29,729 --> 00:28:31,962
in Judge Les Hallford's shoes
this morning.
436
00:28:31,964 --> 00:28:34,333
- [woman] Good morning, Your Honor.
- [sighs]
437
00:28:36,736 --> 00:28:37,971
[Hallford exhales]
438
00:28:38,538 --> 00:28:41,572
- Is that it?
- Just arrived.
439
00:28:41,574 --> 00:28:45,243
Full and immediate integration
of all Durham public schools.
440
00:28:45,245 --> 00:28:46,813
[Hallford exhales]
441
00:28:48,014 --> 00:28:49,980
Get Wilbur Hobby in here.
442
00:28:49,982 --> 00:28:51,083
Yes, sir.
443
00:28:53,385 --> 00:28:55,452
You've passed things down
before.
444
00:28:55,454 --> 00:28:57,290
Ah, you know
I can't do that.
445
00:28:57,857 --> 00:29:01,961
These idiots just sent kids back
into a school that's still smokin'.
446
00:29:02,328 --> 00:29:05,529
I pass it down, it's the same
as ruling against.
447
00:29:05,531 --> 00:29:08,501
I know. I just wanted to
make sure you knew that.
448
00:29:09,569 --> 00:29:13,671
I asked you here for your
counsel, Wilbur, not a lecture.
449
00:29:13,673 --> 00:29:15,006
Sorry.
450
00:29:15,008 --> 00:29:16,076
[exhales]
451
00:29:17,845 --> 00:29:20,779
What if you held off,
delayed your ruling?
452
00:29:20,781 --> 00:29:24,583
[scoffs] Delaying the inevitable,
that's all that would be.
453
00:29:24,585 --> 00:29:29,387
No. You delay to allow the people of
Durham to reach their own decision.
454
00:29:29,389 --> 00:29:31,223
I'm not following, Wilbur.
455
00:29:31,225 --> 00:29:32,359
[exhales]
456
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,994
- I know a guy.
- [chuckles] You know a guy?
457
00:29:36,996 --> 00:29:38,762
Yes, I know a guy.
458
00:29:38,764 --> 00:29:42,200
He runs a department at
Shaw University down in Raleigh.
459
00:29:42,202 --> 00:29:45,502
He does this thing.
Uh, he holds charrettes.
460
00:29:45,504 --> 00:29:46,840
Cha-what?
461
00:29:47,506 --> 00:29:51,176
They're kind of, uh,
these official community summits
462
00:29:51,178 --> 00:29:53,345
with people from both sides
of the problem.
463
00:29:53,347 --> 00:29:56,884
They're called charrettes.
He's had some pretty good results.
464
00:30:00,053 --> 00:30:03,258
Wilbur, get this guy of yours
up here.
465
00:30:07,561 --> 00:30:09,396
[phone rings]
466
00:30:21,342 --> 00:30:23,710
Bill?
Wilbur Hobby's on the phone.
467
00:30:33,354 --> 00:30:34,588
Wilbur Hobby.
468
00:30:34,955 --> 00:30:37,088
Why does
this phone call worry me?
469
00:30:37,090 --> 00:30:38,957
[chuckles]
Well, what a coincidence.
470
00:30:38,959 --> 00:30:40,759
I was hoping
it would worry you.
471
00:30:40,761 --> 00:30:41,862
[Bill laughs]
472
00:30:42,696 --> 00:30:44,196
How are you, Wilbur?
473
00:30:44,198 --> 00:30:46,198
Looks like you're havin'
some trouble up there.
474
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,238
Well, nothing a heavy dose
of Bill Riddick can't solve.
475
00:30:52,572 --> 00:30:53,607
Hello?
476
00:30:55,343 --> 00:30:58,377
Look, Bill, I, uh...
I heard York went well.
477
00:30:58,379 --> 00:31:01,280
York, Pennsylvania, isn't
Durham, North Carolina, Wilbur.
478
00:31:01,282 --> 00:31:04,953
Well, all the more reason
we need you.
479
00:31:06,054 --> 00:31:08,056
Look, you're the only one
that does this.
480
00:31:08,823 --> 00:31:10,689
Besides,
it'll get you outta the house.
481
00:31:10,691 --> 00:31:12,425
Delores even said
you're driving her crazy.
482
00:31:12,427 --> 00:31:14,093
[chuckles]
483
00:31:14,095 --> 00:31:15,930
We've been
drivin' each other crazy.
484
00:31:19,434 --> 00:31:20,766
All right, Wilbur.
485
00:31:20,768 --> 00:31:22,337
- All right.
- Great.
486
00:31:22,904 --> 00:31:25,773
- I'll see you in a few hours, Bill.
- A... A few hours?
487
00:31:26,540 --> 00:31:28,009
- [dial tone]
- Hello?
488
00:31:30,812 --> 00:31:32,912
Now,
I've asked Bill Riddick here
489
00:31:32,914 --> 00:31:35,284
to conduct
a ten-day community charrette
490
00:31:36,017 --> 00:31:39,485
so that the citizens of Durham
can finally come to a resolution
491
00:31:39,487 --> 00:31:41,620
on the school integration
question.
492
00:31:41,622 --> 00:31:44,590
The city council
will abide this resolution
493
00:31:44,592 --> 00:31:46,625
and enact
the will of the people.
494
00:31:46,627 --> 00:31:48,763
That gutless fool.
495
00:31:49,264 --> 00:31:50,299
Abide?
496
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,166
Abide? It's not even defined.
497
00:31:53,168 --> 00:31:55,337
He's making us
define it.
498
00:31:56,271 --> 00:31:58,172
What are we gonna say
to the press?
499
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,308
Nothing.
500
00:32:00,842 --> 00:32:02,977
At least not till
we get a legal opinion.
501
00:32:03,845 --> 00:32:07,715
And in the meantime,
what in good Christ is a charrette?
502
00:32:08,049 --> 00:32:10,551
[man singing pop song]
503
00:32:12,854 --> 00:32:13,888
[continues on radio]
504
00:32:19,328 --> 00:32:21,864
- [continues, indistinct]
- [bell dings]
505
00:32:36,545 --> 00:32:39,014
Uh, yeah, we don't sell
gasoline to niggers here.
506
00:32:43,052 --> 00:32:46,155
I'm not looking for a fill-up.
Mr. Ellis?
507
00:32:48,723 --> 00:32:50,025
My name is Bill Riddick.
508
00:32:52,394 --> 00:32:53,395
Yeah?
509
00:32:54,229 --> 00:32:57,431
Uh...
Wilbur Hobby suggested I...
510
00:32:57,433 --> 00:33:00,869
- Wilbur Hobby sent you here?
- Yeah. He said I should come see you, yeah.
511
00:33:01,070 --> 00:33:03,739
He said you represent a great
many people in this town.
512
00:33:06,509 --> 00:33:08,210
He'd be right about that.
513
00:33:08,577 --> 00:33:12,346
Well, Mr. Ellis,
I've been asked to organize a charrette.
514
00:33:12,348 --> 00:33:13,914
I read the newspaper.
515
00:33:13,916 --> 00:33:16,119
- Oh. So then you know...
- Hold on.
516
00:33:17,087 --> 00:33:21,923
Are you here to ask me to come to
your, uh, integration meetings?
517
00:33:21,925 --> 00:33:25,895
Well, for now, just lunch.
518
00:33:26,628 --> 00:33:28,896
- Lunch?
- Tomorrow.
519
00:33:28,898 --> 00:33:30,800
With, uh...
with me and with Ann Atwater.
520
00:33:32,735 --> 00:33:33,902
Come again?
521
00:33:34,770 --> 00:33:36,603
Well, I was hoping you'd come to
lunch with me and Ann Atwater.
522
00:33:36,605 --> 00:33:38,607
- Ann Atwater?
- Ann Atwater.
523
00:33:41,710 --> 00:33:43,277
[stifled laugh]
524
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:45,946
What did Wilbur Hobby think
I'd say to that?
525
00:33:45,948 --> 00:33:48,182
Well, he thought
you would say no.
526
00:33:48,184 --> 00:33:50,917
- He'd be right about that, too.
- Well, see here, Mr. Ellis...
527
00:33:50,919 --> 00:33:54,956
- You're not from around here, Mr....
- Riddick.
528
00:33:54,958 --> 00:33:56,557
...so I'll help you out.
529
00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:58,793
Folks in this town,
and especially me,
530
00:33:58,795 --> 00:34:00,797
want niggers to stay
in their own schools.
531
00:34:02,732 --> 00:34:04,968
That's definitely one of the
options, Mr. Ellis.
532
00:34:06,970 --> 00:34:09,607
But right now,
I'm gonna leave you my card.
533
00:34:12,775 --> 00:34:14,311
The local number is
on the back.
534
00:34:14,844 --> 00:34:17,747
- You change your mind...
- Boy, you better get on outta here.
535
00:34:19,316 --> 00:34:20,750
Go on, git.
Like I told you.
536
00:34:26,655 --> 00:34:29,359
Mr. Ellis,
I hope you reconsider.
537
00:34:30,293 --> 00:34:34,264
This charrette is happening. So, uh,
if you truly represent your people...
538
00:34:35,431 --> 00:34:36,500
represent them.
539
00:34:39,736 --> 00:34:40,904
Have a good day.
540
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,534
[Carvie] We know this makes
you uncomfortable, C.P.
541
00:35:12,536 --> 00:35:14,869
But goddamn it, it's the best
thing that could have happened.
542
00:35:14,871 --> 00:35:17,805
"Uncomfortable" isn't exactly
the word I'd use for it, Carvie.
543
00:35:17,807 --> 00:35:19,807
C.P., what do you think
would happen
544
00:35:19,809 --> 00:35:22,177
if a lily-white liberal was
in there instead of you?
545
00:35:22,179 --> 00:35:23,547
Nothing good.
546
00:35:24,515 --> 00:35:27,049
A liberal and Ann Atwater
would pass integration
547
00:35:27,051 --> 00:35:29,351
faster than a hot knife
through butter.
548
00:35:29,353 --> 00:35:32,020
- That's what don't make no sense.
- [Steele] What don't?
549
00:35:32,022 --> 00:35:34,323
This Riddick nigger wants
school integration, right?
550
00:35:34,325 --> 00:35:36,626
So why me?
Why put that on himself?
551
00:35:36,628 --> 00:35:38,495
I shoulda been
the last person on his list.
552
00:35:41,065 --> 00:35:43,234
C.P., this judge...
553
00:35:43,934 --> 00:35:45,537
Our hands may be tied.
554
00:35:46,371 --> 00:35:48,837
But it won't matter if we
have a friend on the inside.
555
00:35:48,839 --> 00:35:52,375
And especially if that friend
is C.P. Ellis.
556
00:35:52,377 --> 00:35:54,377
Oh, Charlie, I...
557
00:35:54,379 --> 00:35:57,548
He's about to hand you
the keys to school integration,
558
00:35:58,515 --> 00:36:00,251
and you're going to
lock the door.
559
00:36:03,220 --> 00:36:05,289
[softly singing hymn]
560
00:36:12,029 --> 00:36:14,666
- Hey! How you doin'? How your dad doin'?
- [man] Good.
561
00:36:17,535 --> 00:36:18,836
How late is he?
562
00:36:19,704 --> 00:36:20,804
Twenty minutes.
563
00:36:21,606 --> 00:36:25,243
C.P. comin' to have lunch
with two niggers. [scoffs]
564
00:36:25,610 --> 00:36:28,280
He'd just as soon shoot us
than do that.
565
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,913
Y'all northern folks
just don't get it.
566
00:36:30,915 --> 00:36:32,515
I'm from North Carolina,
Ann.
567
00:36:32,517 --> 00:36:34,417
Oh, yeah? Where about?
568
00:36:34,419 --> 00:36:37,055
- Hertford County.
- That still north of here.
569
00:36:41,059 --> 00:36:42,093
He's here.
570
00:36:58,009 --> 00:36:59,144
[Ann] Here he go.
571
00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:17,530
Would you look at
that crazy white man?
572
00:37:18,196 --> 00:37:20,231
Just pacing back and forth.
573
00:37:21,866 --> 00:37:23,769
I ain't waitin' for that cracker.
I'm hungry.
574
00:37:24,637 --> 00:37:27,173
Mr. Ellis?
Please, come sit down.
575
00:37:39,851 --> 00:37:41,484
Well, uh, okay.
576
00:37:41,486 --> 00:37:43,754
Um, thank you both
for coming.
577
00:37:43,756 --> 00:37:46,155
Hopefully,
this is a first step...
578
00:37:46,157 --> 00:37:49,493
Hey, I'm not gonna sit here one
minute longer than I have to, so...
579
00:37:49,495 --> 00:37:54,565
Well, go on and git, then. That way, me
and Bill can have a civilized conversation.
580
00:37:54,567 --> 00:37:56,866
- [scoffs]
- Mr. Ellis, um,
581
00:37:56,868 --> 00:38:00,406
I'm holding a steering committee
meeting here on Saturday.
582
00:38:00,806 --> 00:38:04,708
And I've invited people who represent
all types of citizens in this community.
583
00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:06,845
All types?
Only two types in this town.
584
00:38:06,847 --> 00:38:10,180
Well, whites, black,
liberals, conservatives.
585
00:38:10,182 --> 00:38:12,049
For a charrette
to be successful,
586
00:38:12,051 --> 00:38:14,853
we need to bring together a
large number of diverse people.
587
00:38:14,855 --> 00:38:17,221
[scoffs]
The only folk he gonna bring,
588
00:38:17,223 --> 00:38:18,989
they gonna be wearing
sheets and hoods.
589
00:38:18,991 --> 00:38:20,259
Ain't that right, C.P.?
590
00:38:21,993 --> 00:38:23,027
[stammers] Hold on.
591
00:38:24,062 --> 00:38:25,429
If you already have
a meeting set,
592
00:38:25,431 --> 00:38:26,911
what the hell am I doing
sitting here?
593
00:38:27,266 --> 00:38:29,568
Well, you're here,
both of you...
594
00:38:30,536 --> 00:38:34,373
because I need two co-chairs
to lead the charrette.
595
00:38:38,144 --> 00:38:40,212
[laughs]
596
00:38:43,582 --> 00:38:46,417
I'm gonna think about it,
you know,
597
00:38:46,419 --> 00:38:50,724
'cause I wouldn't want your type takin'
over this, uh... what'd you call it?
598
00:38:52,793 --> 00:38:54,795
Charade? [laughs]
599
00:38:58,532 --> 00:39:00,434
I don't know
what you're up to either.
600
00:39:01,868 --> 00:39:05,870
I don't like it.
You could use me for my help. That's fine.
601
00:39:05,872 --> 00:39:08,540
But I am not gonna work
with that cracker.
602
00:39:08,542 --> 00:39:10,276
So you need to look
somewhere else.
603
00:39:12,111 --> 00:39:13,379
This corn bread is good.
604
00:39:18,350 --> 00:39:20,384
[woman] I would love it.
605
00:39:20,386 --> 00:39:23,153
[people chattering]
606
00:39:23,155 --> 00:39:24,889
Let me help you clear this.
607
00:39:24,891 --> 00:39:27,492
- It was delicious.
- Very nice of you. Thank you.
608
00:39:27,494 --> 00:39:29,294
You outdid yourself,
Mrs. Keith.
609
00:39:29,296 --> 00:39:31,329
Oh, well, thank you.
610
00:39:31,331 --> 00:39:34,165
Ten days is a long time
with them people, Garland.
611
00:39:34,167 --> 00:39:38,069
It's also a long time for them to
be making decisions on integration
612
00:39:38,071 --> 00:39:39,971
without us having a voice.
613
00:39:39,973 --> 00:39:42,576
That's not gonna make it
any easier to sell to my people.
614
00:39:43,477 --> 00:39:45,646
Well, you're their
president, C.P.
615
00:39:46,714 --> 00:39:48,181
You just make 'em understand.
616
00:39:49,951 --> 00:39:53,586
Hell, it says so right there
in your Klan Creed:
617
00:39:53,588 --> 00:39:58,658
"Failure to know your enemy gives
them aid and comfort" and all that.
618
00:40:00,327 --> 00:40:04,865
I mean, the truth is, C.P., we...
we don't know the enemy at all.
619
00:40:05,932 --> 00:40:07,000
Do we?
620
00:40:23,784 --> 00:40:26,050
You're yankin' on the trigger
too hard.
621
00:40:26,052 --> 00:40:29,221
Trick is to think of it as pressin'
the trigger, not pullin' on it.
622
00:40:29,223 --> 00:40:30,358
Ten-hut!
623
00:40:30,625 --> 00:40:32,124
Y'all heed this man, now.
624
00:40:32,126 --> 00:40:33,761
Mr. Kelly here's an expert.
625
00:40:34,228 --> 00:40:36,729
He even knows that word for when
you breathe out 'fore you shoot.
626
00:40:36,731 --> 00:40:37,932
What's that called again?
627
00:40:38,466 --> 00:40:40,699
- Respiratory pause.
- [men laugh]
628
00:40:40,701 --> 00:40:42,969
See? What'd I tell ya?
629
00:40:42,971 --> 00:40:46,005
- All right, one more, then next up.
- [man] All right.
630
00:40:46,007 --> 00:40:48,743
You didn't care too much for
that conversation last night.
631
00:40:49,543 --> 00:40:52,379
Well, when it's me and you,
it's fine.
632
00:40:53,346 --> 00:40:55,449
I ain't much for talking
in mixed company.
633
00:40:56,182 --> 00:40:57,917
Well, we do need
people there, Floyd.
634
00:40:57,919 --> 00:41:00,955
And Carvie asked me
personally, so...
635
00:41:01,722 --> 00:41:04,625
Yeah, I know it, C.P.
And I'll back you up on it.
636
00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:09,528
- But, uh... be careful.
- Careful of what?
637
00:41:09,530 --> 00:41:11,265
- If you wrestle with a pig...
- [gun cocks]
638
00:41:12,567 --> 00:41:13,835
...you gonna get muddy.
639
00:41:15,503 --> 00:41:18,404
[Bill] Meeting these benchmarks
successfully will depend entirely
640
00:41:18,406 --> 00:41:22,542
on the dedication and enthusiasm
of this steering committee.
641
00:41:22,544 --> 00:41:25,545
And, uh, we haven't got
much time to get organized,
642
00:41:25,547 --> 00:41:28,617
so priority one
will be to get the word out
643
00:41:29,116 --> 00:41:34,488
and to recruit as many citizens as
possible to come and participate.
644
00:41:35,790 --> 00:41:39,160
All right,
before we go any further,
645
00:41:39,527 --> 00:41:41,562
we need to elect
our two co-chairs.
646
00:41:43,698 --> 00:41:46,768
I nominate Ann Atwater...
647
00:41:49,437 --> 00:41:51,105
and C.P. Ellis.
648
00:41:56,578 --> 00:41:58,612
But he's a Klansman.
649
00:41:58,614 --> 00:42:00,682
And we're talking
about integration.
650
00:42:01,115 --> 00:42:05,151
Uh, Mr. Riddick, I already done
told you I won't work with that man.
651
00:42:05,153 --> 00:42:07,087
[scoffs]
That'd be just fine with me.
652
00:42:07,089 --> 00:42:09,556
Everybody know it would be
just fine with you, C.P.
653
00:42:09,558 --> 00:42:11,324
Just hold on a minute now,
Ann.
654
00:42:11,326 --> 00:42:13,629
I'd like to hear from C.P.
on this. Mr. Ellis.
655
00:42:15,865 --> 00:42:19,132
Well, I'm not in the habit of interviewing
for a job that I don't really want.
656
00:42:19,134 --> 00:42:21,367
But you're asking,
so I'll tell you.
657
00:42:21,369 --> 00:42:24,537
Everybody talkin' about nigras want
this, nigras need that.
658
00:42:24,539 --> 00:42:27,174
This whole thing started 'cause
of what nigras are demanding.
659
00:42:28,977 --> 00:42:32,646
What about white folks?
What about what we want?
660
00:42:32,648 --> 00:42:35,348
- You already got everything you want.
- No, we don't.
661
00:42:35,350 --> 00:42:38,654
Now the niggers in this town are trying
to take away everything we got left.
662
00:42:39,354 --> 00:42:41,890
They don't want us to play
"Dixie" at our schools.
663
00:42:42,491 --> 00:42:43,993
That's our song.
664
00:42:44,793 --> 00:42:47,928
They're angry when we fly the
Confederate flag at ball games.
665
00:42:47,930 --> 00:42:52,133
And why should one of our boys
have to play ball under that flag?
666
00:42:52,135 --> 00:42:54,234
That flag is
our proud Southern history.
667
00:42:54,236 --> 00:42:56,804
It might be your proud
Southern history, C.P.,
668
00:42:56,806 --> 00:42:58,639
but it sure as hell
ain't ours.
669
00:42:58,641 --> 00:42:59,642
[C.P.] All right.
670
00:43:00,443 --> 00:43:02,510
Integrated schools have
"blacks only" assemblies,
671
00:43:02,512 --> 00:43:05,046
"blacks only"
Martin Luther King this, that.
672
00:43:05,048 --> 00:43:06,313
That ain't my history.
673
00:43:06,315 --> 00:43:07,782
You wanna talk about schools?
674
00:43:07,784 --> 00:43:09,885
Let's talk about schools,
Mr. Riddick.
675
00:43:10,886 --> 00:43:12,821
My sons don't have it easy
in school.
676
00:43:13,655 --> 00:43:15,789
Their teachers ain't even
teachin' them half the time.
677
00:43:15,791 --> 00:43:18,111
And you want to throw them
together with a bunch of nigras?
678
00:43:18,193 --> 00:43:20,295
It's only gonna get worse
for them.
679
00:43:21,363 --> 00:43:24,000
You ask why?
I'm here to protect my boys.
680
00:43:25,101 --> 00:43:27,469
So all the better
if she don't get in my way.
681
00:43:33,042 --> 00:43:34,610
I'll sit with you,
Brother Ellis.

[murmuring]
683
00:43:40,516 --> 00:43:44,052
Howard, have you lost
your everlasting mind,
684
00:43:44,054 --> 00:43:45,720
callin' that man
your brother?
685
00:43:45,722 --> 00:43:47,488
[Bill] You're offering
to co-chair, Howard?
686
00:43:47,490 --> 00:43:49,124
Uh, I am.
687
00:43:49,126 --> 00:43:51,292
And that's an honest man
right there, Ann.
688
00:43:51,294 --> 00:43:53,931
The only honest man
that's stood up today.
689
00:43:54,698 --> 00:43:57,667
He hates me. [chuckles]
And he told me why.
690
00:43:58,901 --> 00:44:02,872
But then he opened up
his heart about his sons.
691
00:44:03,271 --> 00:44:05,506
Why is he agreeing with me?
692
00:44:05,508 --> 00:44:07,708
- I don't know.
- [Howard] That means he's my brother.
693
00:44:07,710 --> 00:44:09,590
[whispers] Did that nigger
just call me brother?
694
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:12,114
[laughs]
695
00:44:12,116 --> 00:44:13,382
Y'all hear that?
696
00:44:14,617 --> 00:44:17,221
I'll tell you what you are,
Howard.
697
00:44:18,021 --> 00:44:20,057
You one of them
"big niggers," ain't you?
698
00:44:20,891 --> 00:44:24,159
You done went up north
and got your college degree,
699
00:44:24,161 --> 00:44:27,631
your fancy cars,
and your fancy suits.
700
00:44:28,264 --> 00:44:30,532
Meanwhile, we down here on
the ground gettin' dirty.
701
00:44:30,534 --> 00:44:32,901
Now wait a minute, Ann.
702
00:44:32,903 --> 00:44:35,737
The Black Solidarity Committee has
been working within this community...
703
00:44:35,739 --> 00:44:38,108
Oh, shut up, Howard!
You're late to the fight!
704
00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:43,480
And you have no idea what
real black folk go through.
705
00:44:43,981 --> 00:44:47,450
You don't deserve a seat.
He don't deserve that chair, he don't.
706
00:44:47,985 --> 00:44:49,920
Callin' that man his brother.
707
00:44:52,755 --> 00:44:54,958
So are you saying you'll accept
now, Miss Atwater?
708
00:45:00,197 --> 00:45:02,166

- [song continues]
- [indistinct]
711
00:45:41,505 --> 00:45:44,606
I'm going to continue to fight
for us white working men
712
00:45:44,608 --> 00:45:47,809
even if I have to sit in a room with
that awful Ann Atwater to do it.

C.P. Ellis don't scare me.

00:45:51,748 --> 00:45:54,749
We gonna beat school
segregation once and for all.
716

Well, she's livin'
in her own fantasy world.

Good morning, Mr. Ellis.
722
00:47:14,065 --> 00:47:16,266
Co-chair office is
just around the corner.
723
00:47:16,268 --> 00:47:17,403
Thank you.
724
00:47:39,858 --> 00:47:43,460
All I'm saying is
our children are way behind.
725
00:47:43,462 --> 00:47:45,162
Almost a full year.
726
00:47:45,164 --> 00:47:47,298
[woman] Well,
just havin' white teachers
727
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,202
isn't gonna help them
catch up.
728
00:47:50,569 --> 00:47:52,103
[Ann] White teachers?
729
00:47:52,105 --> 00:47:53,804
They already got
some white teachers.
730
00:47:53,806 --> 00:47:55,974
It ain't that.
It's about the books.
731
00:47:55,976 --> 00:47:58,641
Newer books don't account
for a whole year.
732
00:47:58,643 --> 00:48:00,913
Newer ain't got
nothing to do with it.
733
00:48:01,612 --> 00:48:04,381
Baby, what's your name?
In the red shirt. What's your name?
734
00:48:04,383 --> 00:48:05,918
- Miles.
- [Ann] Miles.
735
00:48:06,652 --> 00:48:08,819
What year did you
just finish, Miles?
736
00:48:08,821 --> 00:48:10,454
- My junior year.
- Mm-hmm.
737
00:48:10,456 --> 00:48:12,558
And what year
were your books for?
738
00:48:13,926 --> 00:48:15,792
The textbooks were
for the tenth-graders, ma'am.
739

[murmuring, applauding]
741
00:48:20,499 --> 00:48:22,133
Well, how's that gonna work?
742
00:48:22,135 --> 00:48:24,268
How's what gonna work, C.P.?
743
00:48:24,270 --> 00:48:27,173
You gonna put a bunch of black
kids who are a year behind...
744
00:48:28,041 --> 00:48:29,474
with white kids who aren't.
745
00:48:29,476 --> 00:48:31,342
How you gonna teach
that class?
746
00:48:31,344 --> 00:48:33,710
You can't.
It just ain't possible.
747
00:48:33,712 --> 00:48:36,580
So you go ahead
and get the right books,
748
00:48:36,582 --> 00:48:40,120
but you can't teach
that class, no way. No way.
749
00:48:40,653 --> 00:48:42,322
[murmuring]
750
00:49:09,182 --> 00:49:10,848
Okay. So tomorrow,
751
00:49:10,850 --> 00:49:12,950
we'll break into
our smaller groups
752
00:49:12,952 --> 00:49:15,186
and begin hammering out the
different resolution points.
753
00:49:15,188 --> 00:49:18,222
But we meet back here
each night for wrap-up.
754
00:49:18,224 --> 00:49:21,493
Also, you've noticed these, uh,
two tables up here on the stage.
755
00:49:21,495 --> 00:49:24,862
Along with Mr. Ellis
and Miss Atwater,
756
00:49:24,864 --> 00:49:28,202
ten more of you will be chosen to fill
these seats as part of our senate.
757
00:49:28,568 --> 00:49:30,969
That senate will vote
on the resolutions
758
00:49:30,971 --> 00:49:32,671
on the final night
of the charrette.
759
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,040
Okay.
Unless there's anything else,
760
00:49:36,042 --> 00:49:37,710
I think we could all use
some sleep.
761
00:49:38,545 --> 00:49:39,710
Yes, Reverend?
762
00:49:39,712 --> 00:49:41,412
Mr. Riddick,
763
00:49:41,414 --> 00:49:43,283
it's been
quite a tense day.
764
00:49:44,017 --> 00:49:49,720
It may be wise if we have some
positive note to end each session.
765
00:49:49,722 --> 00:49:51,689
Something to lift our spirits.
766
00:49:51,691 --> 00:49:53,791
I think that's a good idea,
Reverend.
767
00:49:53,793 --> 00:49:55,095
What did you have in mind?
768
00:49:55,463 --> 00:49:57,895
Well, I notice
we have a piano over here.
769
00:49:57,897 --> 00:50:01,166
What if we all sing gospel
music at the end of each night?
770
00:50:01,168 --> 00:50:02,903
- Okay.
- [man] Nigger music.
771
00:50:03,871 --> 00:50:06,171
- [crowd murmurs]
- What did you say?
772
00:50:06,173 --> 00:50:08,874
I believe he said
that's nigger music.
773
00:50:08,876 --> 00:50:11,844
Gospel music don't have nothing
to do with black or white.
774
00:50:11,846 --> 00:50:15,080
- It's about God.
- Praise God, but he... he's right.
775
00:50:15,082 --> 00:50:17,950
Gospel music is absolutely
for black folk.
776
00:50:17,952 --> 00:50:20,319
I'm a bit surprised that
the reverend would suggest
777
00:50:20,321 --> 00:50:21,453
something so one-sided.
778
00:50:21,455 --> 00:50:23,054
I'm a little disappointed.
779
00:50:23,056 --> 00:50:24,624
[Bill] Okay.
I can appreciate that, C.P.
780
00:50:24,991 --> 00:50:27,091
These people would like
gospel music.
781
00:50:27,093 --> 00:50:29,530
So, uh, how would you like
to represent your people?
782
00:50:31,931 --> 00:50:35,601
Well, I'd like to display our Klan
materials here at the charrette.
783
00:50:35,603 --> 00:50:38,305
[spectators murmuring]
784
00:50:39,607 --> 00:50:40,741
Klan materials?
785
00:50:41,408 --> 00:50:42,643
Mm-hmm.
786
00:50:45,045 --> 00:50:47,713
- It's not the same thing.
- I know that.
787
00:50:47,715 --> 00:50:50,015
We can't let him do it. That stuff's
full of hate. That's all it is.
788
00:50:50,017 --> 00:50:52,418
- He gave on the gospel.
- I don't give a damn what he gave on.
789
00:50:52,420 --> 00:50:54,487
Well, he gave, so we give.
790
00:50:54,489 --> 00:50:57,423
Bill Riddick, if that stuff shows up
here, it's gonna be a riot.
791
00:50:57,425 --> 00:50:59,992
And you can bet your ass I'm gonna
be the one leading the charge.
792
00:50:59,994 --> 00:51:02,397
Oh, you gonna get all
Roughhouse Annie on me now, huh?
793
00:51:02,897 --> 00:51:06,101
Yeah, I heard tell about you.
All talkin' and no listenin'.
794
00:51:06,767 --> 00:51:09,968
We're here trying to understand each
other for once and stop fighting.
795
00:51:09,970 --> 00:51:12,638
I'll stop fightin' when there
ain't nothing left to fight for.
796
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,042
Then you gonna be goin' uphill
the rest of your life, Ann.
797
00:51:16,076 --> 00:51:18,844
In the meantime,
I'm-a keep that man here talkin'
798
00:51:18,846 --> 00:51:20,582
as long as I possibly can.
799
00:51:23,050 --> 00:51:25,019
- [sighs]
- [Bill] C.P.
800
00:51:26,321 --> 00:51:27,355
C.P.
801
00:51:29,890 --> 00:51:32,458
This, um,
display you want to bring.
802
00:51:32,460 --> 00:51:34,427
We're willing to go along
with it.
803
00:51:34,429 --> 00:51:36,162
But there'll be folks not wild
about the sight of it.
804
00:51:36,164 --> 00:51:38,364
So, uh, you're gonna need
to provide some security,
805
00:51:38,366 --> 00:51:40,300
someone to watch over it.
806
00:51:40,302 --> 00:51:42,182
- I'm not gonna be responsible for it.
- [blows]
807
00:51:44,674 --> 00:51:46,141
This is my security.
808
00:51:46,975 --> 00:51:48,578
That gun
don't belong here.
809
00:51:49,277 --> 00:51:53,048
I like to have it close in case I
need it to do my talkin' for me.
810
00:51:54,383 --> 00:51:56,518
This here does the talkin'
for me.
811
00:51:56,750 --> 00:52:00,353
- I have a Bible.
- Oh, you do? Have you read it?
812
00:52:00,355 --> 00:52:01,722
Course I've read it.
813
00:52:02,190 --> 00:52:04,557
- Even go to church on Sundays.
- [Ann] Hmm.
814
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:06,626
Well, then,
you ought to know, C.P.
815
00:52:06,628 --> 00:52:07,662
Know what?
816
00:52:08,563 --> 00:52:11,199
Same God made you, made me.
817
00:52:32,954 --> 00:52:34,388
That's everything,
Mr. Ellis.
818
00:52:34,390 --> 00:52:36,192
Looks good, Ben. Real good.
819
00:52:36,492 --> 00:52:38,094
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
820
00:52:49,204 --> 00:52:51,406
Divided according to race.
821
00:52:52,608 --> 00:52:54,843
Uh, six black, six white.
822
00:52:55,210 --> 00:52:58,044
The senate members will float in
and out of different working groups,
823
00:52:58,046 --> 00:52:59,881
observing and participating.
824
00:53:00,449 --> 00:53:02,383
On the final night
of the charrette,
825
00:53:02,385 --> 00:53:04,551
you will vote
to either adopt or reject
826
00:53:04,553 --> 00:53:06,220
the resolutions
presented to you.
827
00:53:06,222 --> 00:53:07,956
So, we're the final word?
828
00:53:08,224 --> 00:53:09,789
Final word, Howard.
829
00:53:09,791 --> 00:53:12,094
Two-thirds majority
to pass each resolution.
830
00:53:13,863 --> 00:53:15,298
Eight votes to pass?
831
00:53:16,432 --> 00:53:19,199
Then we should be able to handpick
the other four white members.
832
00:53:19,201 --> 00:53:21,368
Well, then, we might as well
go on home then.
833
00:53:21,370 --> 00:53:23,003
C.P.,
that's not practical.
834
00:53:23,005 --> 00:53:24,440
We need to be
as fair as possible.
835
00:53:24,741 --> 00:53:27,341
I'm gonna have to side
with my friend here.
836
00:53:27,343 --> 00:53:29,778
I mean,
we can surely all agree
837
00:53:29,780 --> 00:53:31,746
that every Negro
in the building
838
00:53:31,748 --> 00:53:33,614
is gonna vote yes
on school integration.
839
00:53:33,616 --> 00:53:35,749
That's six automatic votes,
no matter what.
840
00:53:35,751 --> 00:53:37,751
Same's not true
for every last white person.
841
00:53:37,753 --> 00:53:39,953
There's a bunch of liberals
sittin' out there right now.
842
00:53:41,891 --> 00:53:45,794
Look, there are four prominent
organizations represented
843
00:53:45,796 --> 00:53:47,594
in this room, right here.
844
00:53:47,596 --> 00:53:50,064
The Klan,
The White Citizens' Council,
845
00:53:50,066 --> 00:53:52,468
Black Solidarity Committee,
and Operation Breakthrough.
846
00:53:53,235 --> 00:53:54,538
You each get your votes.
847
00:53:54,970 --> 00:53:56,138
You want fair?
848
00:53:56,506 --> 00:53:58,408
We'll pick
eight regular members.
849
00:53:58,809 --> 00:54:02,211
Regular. No black power people, no Klan.
They're excluded.
850
00:54:03,347 --> 00:54:04,381
Agreed?
851
00:54:08,685 --> 00:54:10,518
- None of her people?
- [Bill] No.
852
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,022
And none of y'all.
853
00:54:28,304 --> 00:54:29,338
Hey!
854
00:54:29,972 --> 00:54:32,208
What do you think
you doing, huh?
855
00:54:34,478 --> 00:54:36,344
Leave that alone.
856
00:54:36,346 --> 00:54:38,881
Boys need to be reading this
instead of ripping it up.
857
00:54:39,683 --> 00:54:44,354
The Klan is givin' you
a window to look through.
858
00:54:46,790 --> 00:54:48,824
You need to read this stuff
and understand it.
859
00:54:48,826 --> 00:54:50,293
That way,
you understand them.
860
00:54:50,627 --> 00:54:54,162
Okay? You got the upper hand.
Got it?
861
00:54:54,164 --> 00:54:56,534
Get on outta here, Charles.
Give me that.
862
00:54:57,334 --> 00:54:59,537
Should tell your daddy.
You know better.
863
00:55:01,406 --> 00:55:02,640
[exhales]
864
00:55:07,745 --> 00:55:09,479
Kids don't make no sense...
865
00:55:40,711 --> 00:55:44,680
"...professional experts from in
the community and from outside
866
00:55:44,682 --> 00:55:47,583
will stand by
listening, learning."
867
00:55:47,585 --> 00:55:49,754
[continues reading,
indistinct]
868
00:56:14,545 --> 00:56:16,212
- Ann? Ann?
- What?
869
00:56:16,214 --> 00:56:18,249
- Where are you going?
- I'm going home.
870
00:56:19,050 --> 00:56:20,783
Look,
I know you're upset, Ann.
871
00:56:20,785 --> 00:56:22,318
You don't know nothing!
872
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:23,920
I told you
it was a damn fool idea
873
00:56:23,922 --> 00:56:25,889
to let that man
bring that stuff in here.
874
00:56:25,891 --> 00:56:27,659
Ain't no good
gonna come from it!
875
00:56:28,059 --> 00:56:30,328
And I'll tell you
something else, Bill Riddick.
876
00:56:30,929 --> 00:56:32,361
You an even bigger fool
877
00:56:32,363 --> 00:56:33,996
if you think you gonna make
any change
878
00:56:33,998 --> 00:56:35,465
with this here meeting.
879
00:56:35,467 --> 00:56:36,802
- Is that right?
- That's right.
880
00:56:37,369 --> 00:56:39,836
'Cause as long as
the C.P. Ellises of the world
881
00:56:39,838 --> 00:56:41,171
keep gettin' their way,
882
00:56:41,173 --> 00:56:42,672
ain't nothing gonna change.
883
00:56:42,674 --> 00:56:44,976
Yeah, you talk about
Roughhouse Annie?
884
00:56:45,943 --> 00:56:48,777
Keep Uncle Tommin'
that cracker
885
00:56:48,779 --> 00:56:50,949
and you gonna see
Roughhouse Annie.
886
00:56:52,016 --> 00:56:55,019
Go on back up north where you belong,
'cause you don't know nothing.
887
00:57:28,353 --> 00:57:29,555
Marion Wilson.
888
00:57:37,261 --> 00:57:39,398
Okay. The other bowl now.
889
00:57:42,434 --> 00:57:43,468
[Garland] Sam Watford.
890
00:57:45,170 --> 00:57:47,090
- Is that Scooter Watford's boy?
- [Horace] Yeah.
891
00:57:48,574 --> 00:57:50,175
You won't have
a problem there.
892
00:57:50,909 --> 00:57:52,511
- [C.P.] You sure?
- Pretty sure.
893
00:57:52,879 --> 00:57:55,645
I remember he kept losin' jobs
during them boycotts.
894
00:57:55,647 --> 00:57:57,016
Still pretty sore about it.
895
00:57:58,051 --> 00:58:00,352
I don't like that mustache,
tell you what.
896
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,655
All right. Earl Weeks.
897
00:58:02,989 --> 00:58:04,722
[laughs]
898
00:58:04,724 --> 00:58:06,091
He's... He's with us.
899
00:58:06,358 --> 00:58:07,627
[Garland] How do you know?
900
00:58:08,428 --> 00:58:10,563
He been a deacon at my church
since I was a kid.
901
00:58:11,064 --> 00:58:12,332
He don't like nobody.
902
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,068
- That's a good man.
- Two for two.
903
00:58:17,070 --> 00:58:20,704
Okay, we gonna have an issue
with this gal Maddy Mays.
904
00:58:20,706 --> 00:58:22,372
The blonde over by the window.
905
00:58:22,374 --> 00:58:23,740
[Garland]
Yeah, she's a nurse.
906
00:58:23,742 --> 00:58:25,243
[C.P.]
Yeah, over at Durham Clinic.
907
00:58:25,711 --> 00:58:28,280
Real "people person." I think
that's one to worry about.
908
00:58:30,016 --> 00:58:31,514
Last is Lee Trombley.
909
00:58:31,516 --> 00:58:33,918
[groans]
Trombley Hardware.
910
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,021
Off of Route Nine.
911
00:58:35,955 --> 00:58:37,822
- What do we know?
- [sighs]
912
00:58:37,824 --> 00:58:39,425
I don't know 'bout him, C.P.
913
00:58:40,393 --> 00:58:41,494
Might be a problem there.
914
00:58:42,428 --> 00:58:44,497
He took over
after his daddy passed.
915
00:58:45,398 --> 00:58:47,834
Family man, two kids, I think.
916
00:58:48,167 --> 00:58:49,435
[C.P.] And?
917
00:58:50,303 --> 00:58:52,536
[Horace] Everybody that
works for him is a nigger.
918
00:58:52,538 --> 00:58:53,573
Every one.
919
00:58:54,074 --> 00:58:56,110
And they all thick as thieves.
920
00:58:57,710 --> 00:59:00,378
[taps notebook]
921
00:59:00,380 --> 00:59:03,651
All right, I guess it's time we
get acquainted with Lee Trombley.
922
00:59:25,405 --> 00:59:26,506
Can I help you, sir?
923
00:59:27,573 --> 00:59:29,843
Uh... Lee around?
924
00:59:30,176 --> 00:59:32,844
No, sir. He's not here right now.
But I'm the manager.
925
00:59:32,846 --> 00:59:34,148
Something I can help you with?
926
00:59:36,784 --> 00:59:38,152
Uh, no. Um...
927
00:59:38,986 --> 00:59:40,587
I'll come back another time.
928
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,693
[door opens]
929
00:59:47,695 --> 00:59:50,330
- [thunder rumbles]
- [rain pattering]
930
00:59:52,067 --> 00:59:53,134
Okay.
931
00:59:53,634 --> 00:59:56,335
Any thoughts, uh, insights?
932
00:59:57,303 --> 00:59:59,006
You don't have to
raise your hand, Maddy.
933
00:59:59,305 --> 01:00:01,708
I think it's nice to see
people talking for once.
934
01:00:02,142 --> 01:00:04,011
That ain't talkin'.
It's yellin'.
935
01:00:04,377 --> 01:00:06,277
Well, okay. It's arguing.
936
01:00:06,279 --> 01:00:09,581
But people are listening to one another.
They really are.
937
01:00:09,583 --> 01:00:13,350
[Sam] They're arguing.
I've been listening to it for days,
938
01:00:13,352 --> 01:00:16,388
and still no one's answered how
integration's gonna help my kids.
939
01:00:16,390 --> 01:00:19,558
- It sure can't hurt 'em.
- It sure as hell can.
940
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,561
- I'd like to know how.
- Well, for one,
941
01:00:22,563 --> 01:00:25,532
I don't want my daughter sitting
next to a Negro boy in class.
942
01:00:25,966 --> 01:00:27,699
I don't want her
eatin' next to one,
943
01:00:27,701 --> 01:00:29,869
and don't want her being
at a school dance with one.
944
01:00:29,871 --> 01:00:32,207
So, you care
about your daughter?
945
01:00:33,340 --> 01:00:35,240
And you don't want
to see her get hurt.
946
01:00:35,242 --> 01:00:36,909
What's your point?
947
01:00:36,911 --> 01:00:40,882
My point is that is
what we do as parents.
948
01:00:41,883 --> 01:00:45,784
When they're little, we try to
keep them from touching the stove
949
01:00:45,786 --> 01:00:46,987
so they don't burn.
950
01:00:47,921 --> 01:00:51,158
We teach them to take small
bites so they don't choke.
951
01:00:51,959 --> 01:00:54,593
We worry about
their first day at school,
952
01:00:54,595 --> 01:00:56,095
the first time
they drive a car,
953
01:00:56,097 --> 01:00:57,863
their very first job.
954
01:00:57,865 --> 01:01:02,667
See, we want them to avoid
the pain that we experienced.
955
01:01:02,669 --> 01:01:04,638
[chuckles]
All right. All right.
956
01:01:04,939 --> 01:01:07,539
We all gonna sit around,
hold hands, sing "Kumbaya"?
957
01:01:07,541 --> 01:01:10,442
- We see what you're doing, Howard.
- And what is that, C.P.?
958
01:01:10,444 --> 01:01:12,779
That there's no difference
between blacks and whites, right?
959
01:01:12,781 --> 01:01:15,414
'Cause we all worry
about our kids.
960
01:01:15,416 --> 01:01:17,250
We're all the same, right?
961
01:01:17,252 --> 01:01:22,155
Actually, no, C.P. We're not.
962
01:01:22,157 --> 01:01:24,025
See, I left some things out.
963
01:01:24,759 --> 01:01:27,293
I left out
that black folks have
964
01:01:27,295 --> 01:01:30,298
a whole different menu of pain
to worry about.
965
01:01:31,432 --> 01:01:34,269
Our kids get spit on
for no reason.
966
01:01:35,103 --> 01:01:39,974
Our kids have to move on the
sidewalk to let white folks pass,
967
01:01:40,608 --> 01:01:41,943
or they get beat.
968
01:01:43,011 --> 01:01:45,379
Our kids aren't allowed
to sit where they want,
969
01:01:45,814 --> 01:01:49,284
play where they want,
go to school where they want.
970
01:01:50,418 --> 01:01:54,787
See, this is the pain
they experience every day
971
01:01:54,789 --> 01:01:58,359
that we, we can't...
can't spare them from.
972
01:02:00,062 --> 01:02:02,764
And that is a...
973
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,501
It's a helpless feeling.
974
01:02:08,103 --> 01:02:11,140
A more helpless feeling
than you could ever know.
975
01:02:20,615 --> 01:02:22,949
- I fell right into that one.
- Yeah.
976
01:02:22,951 --> 01:02:25,553
- Shit. You see Trombley's face?
- Yeah.
977
01:02:26,288 --> 01:02:29,488
- Did you get anywhere with Trombley last night?
- He wasn't there.
978
01:02:29,490 --> 01:02:31,826
They were right, though.
He got a black manager.
979
01:02:32,493 --> 01:02:34,362
Well, where we gonna
get him, then?
980
01:02:34,796 --> 01:02:36,930
Right now.
We gonna crowd him at lunch.
981
01:02:36,932 --> 01:02:38,364
Mmm.
982
01:02:38,366 --> 01:02:40,336
[Bill] Okay.
Everybody listen up.
983
01:02:41,502 --> 01:02:43,502
We're going to be trying
something different today.
984
01:02:43,772 --> 01:02:46,742
There are name cards at
each seat in this lunchroom.
985
01:02:47,142 --> 01:02:49,810
This will be your seat
for the rest of the charrette.
986
01:02:49,812 --> 01:02:51,881
You may not move
your name card.
987
01:02:52,882 --> 01:02:55,382
And you guessed it,
the person sitting next to you
988
01:02:55,384 --> 01:02:57,084
will not be
the same color as you.
989
01:02:57,086 --> 01:02:58,819
- What?
- And...
990
01:02:58,821 --> 01:03:02,656
And no discussion of issues
during this hour.
991
01:03:02,658 --> 01:03:03,893
Talk about something else.
992
01:03:41,765 --> 01:03:44,367
[no audible dialogue]
993
01:03:52,242 --> 01:03:54,678
[Ann singing softly]
994
01:04:00,716 --> 01:04:02,085
[Ann clears throat]
995
01:04:30,314 --> 01:04:31,846
I just can't do it. Mm-mm.
996
01:04:31,848 --> 01:04:34,418
Mm-mm! Mm-mm-mm.
997
01:04:35,618 --> 01:04:37,687
These fish sticks is dry.
998
01:04:44,227 --> 01:04:45,695
Well... Hmm.
999
01:04:46,429 --> 01:04:48,365
If we can't change
anything else,
1000
01:04:48,765 --> 01:04:51,234
we can sure demand
better school lunches, huh?
1001
01:04:51,801 --> 01:04:53,703
We're not supposed to
talk about issues.
1002
01:04:55,672 --> 01:04:57,073
I guess you're right.
1003
01:05:03,813 --> 01:05:04,848
Howard...
1004
01:05:05,648 --> 01:05:07,650
Howard was wrong in there,
weren't he?
1005
01:05:08,352 --> 01:05:10,187
- Wrong?
- Mm-hmm.
1006
01:05:11,856 --> 01:05:16,524
Well, I mean, he weren't wrong
about what black kids go through.
1007
01:05:16,526 --> 01:05:17,560
But...
1008
01:05:19,030 --> 01:05:23,901
He was wrong about you not knowing
what helpless is, weren't he?
1009
01:05:27,372 --> 01:05:28,572
What does that mean?
1010
01:05:32,742 --> 01:05:35,078
You got a boy out at Murdock,
don't you, C.P.?
1011
01:05:35,513 --> 01:05:37,513
- I don't wanna talk about that.
- I'm just trying...
1012
01:05:37,515 --> 01:05:40,184
Ann, don't talk about my son.
1013
01:05:41,818 --> 01:05:44,055
- Don't ever talk about my son.
- Okay.
1014
01:05:51,762 --> 01:05:54,865
- [guitar plays]
- [man humming]
1015
01:06:02,374 --> 01:06:04,575
[man singing country folk]
1016
01:06:11,183 --> 01:06:13,516
We're willing to go
to summer school,
1017
01:06:13,518 --> 01:06:15,751
even nights, just to catch
up with the white students.
1018
01:06:15,753 --> 01:06:18,890
Good Lord never intended for
blacks to have equal rights.
1019
01:06:34,939 --> 01:06:37,409
[song continues]
1020
01:07:29,194 --> 01:07:31,196
[song ends]
1021
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,368
- Daddy!
- What's wrong? What's wrong, sugar?
1022
01:07:37,370 --> 01:07:38,404
It's Larry.
1023
01:07:49,448 --> 01:07:52,249
- [boy screaming]
- What's goin' on?
1024
01:07:52,251 --> 01:07:54,818
- Who is this?
- [nurse] Alvin. He moved in Friday.
1025
01:07:54,820 --> 01:07:57,621
Hey, hey.
Shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh.
1026
01:07:57,623 --> 01:07:59,789
[screaming continues]
1027
01:07:59,791 --> 01:08:02,027
- Hey, pumpkin.
- [grunting]
1028
01:08:03,195 --> 01:08:05,028
- [C.P.] Go! It's okay.
- [nurse] It's okay.
1029
01:08:05,030 --> 01:08:07,398
[C.P.] No monster.
No monster, son. No monster.
1030
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,032
I got your book.
I'm gonna read...
1031
01:08:09,034 --> 01:08:10,700
Shh, shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh.
1032
01:08:10,702 --> 01:08:11,836
[girl] It's Vickie.
1033
01:08:12,138 --> 01:08:13,836
- Read to him.
- Okay.
1034
01:08:13,838 --> 01:08:16,273
- Come here, pumpkin.
- I'll be right back.
1035
01:08:16,275 --> 01:08:18,978
- Vickie's gonna read to you.
- It's your sister, Vickie.
1036
01:08:19,545 --> 01:08:20,745
Get him out.
1037
01:08:24,450 --> 01:08:27,318
- Hey, who's in charge here?
- Can I help you, Mr. Ellis?
1038
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,486
No. Is there someone else
I can talk to?
1039
01:08:29,488 --> 01:08:30,721
One moment.
1040
01:08:30,723 --> 01:08:31,757
Hey.
1041
01:08:33,159 --> 01:08:35,594
[bell dinging]
1042
01:08:35,596 --> 01:08:37,228
Hey.
1043
01:08:37,230 --> 01:08:38,530
- [nurse] I'll be right there.
- I need help.
1044
01:08:38,532 --> 01:08:40,164
- No, sir. No, sir.
- I need help.
1045
01:08:40,166 --> 01:08:41,832
- My son needs help.
- Step outside that door.
1046
01:08:41,834 --> 01:08:43,701
- I need to get my son out of that room.
- Yes, sir.
1047
01:08:43,703 --> 01:08:45,835
Step outside for a moment.
1048
01:08:45,837 --> 01:08:48,172
- Now calm it down.
- I need to get my son out of that room.
1049
01:08:48,174 --> 01:08:50,341
- Your son is gonna be just fine.
- He's scared.
1050
01:08:50,343 --> 01:08:51,844
He's not fine.
He needs to be moved.
1051
01:08:52,078 --> 01:08:54,011
Right away.
Or that other one needs to be moved.
1052
01:08:54,013 --> 01:08:56,313
- My son's scared.
- Look. Look.
1053
01:08:56,315 --> 01:08:58,949
It's important that our patients
stay in familiar surroundings.
1054
01:08:58,951 --> 01:09:01,852
'Cause if they're moved
too often, they get agitated...
1055
01:09:01,854 --> 01:09:03,622
A private room then.
[stammers]
1056
01:09:03,624 --> 01:09:05,390
Give Larry a private room,
please.
1057
01:09:05,392 --> 01:09:06,957
We have regulations
here at Murdock.
1058
01:09:06,959 --> 01:09:09,226
I don't care
about your regulations.
1059
01:09:09,228 --> 01:09:12,464
- Now you move him, or I will. How's that?
- No, you will not.
1060
01:09:12,466 --> 01:09:16,468
Mr. Ellis!
Call security right now.
1061
01:09:16,470 --> 01:09:18,572
You calm yourself down.
1062
01:09:21,275 --> 01:09:22,806
[exhales]
1063
01:09:22,808 --> 01:09:23,810
God...
1064
01:09:24,611 --> 01:09:26,446
How much...
How much is it again?
1065
01:09:26,813 --> 01:09:30,915
A private room is $75 more
per week.
1066
01:09:30,917 --> 01:09:32,619
Now do you wanna pay for that?
1067
01:09:33,919 --> 01:09:35,386
I got 16.
1068
01:09:35,388 --> 01:09:37,457
Mr. Ellis.
Listen to me.
1069
01:09:38,124 --> 01:09:41,227
Larry will get used to it,
all right?
1070
01:09:46,032 --> 01:09:49,434
You shoulda told me. No one told
me that boy would be in this room.
1071
01:09:49,436 --> 01:09:50,702
- It was...
- No one told me.
1072
01:09:50,704 --> 01:09:52,237
It was a last minute...
1073
01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:53,639
You shoulda told me.
[slaps counter]
1074
01:09:59,579 --> 01:10:01,982
[man speaking, indistinct]
1075
01:10:33,180 --> 01:10:35,113
[C.P.] You know,
I'm tryin' to tell you now.
1076
01:10:35,115 --> 01:10:37,650
His roommate was wailin'
and screamin' and...
1077
01:10:37,652 --> 01:10:39,286
But they wouldn't
let me move him.
1078
01:10:42,457 --> 01:10:43,890
I wanna take him home.
1079
01:10:45,626 --> 01:10:47,195
He's better off with us.
1080
01:10:49,697 --> 01:10:51,332
He don't belong there.
1081
01:10:51,699 --> 01:10:53,167
He ain't like them others.
1082
01:10:54,969 --> 01:10:57,138
Yes, Claiborne, he is.
1083
01:11:00,709 --> 01:11:03,444
I'm seeing him tomorrow.
I'm sure he's fine.
1084
01:11:04,879 --> 01:11:06,045
You okay?
1085
01:11:06,047 --> 01:11:07,548
Yeah, I'm just tired.
1086
01:11:09,751 --> 01:11:11,686
I'll see you at home.
I love you.
1087
01:11:19,827 --> 01:11:22,230
[people chattering]
1088
01:11:39,414 --> 01:11:41,884

muffled]

[singing fades]
1092
01:13:37,666 --> 01:13:40,369
[woman on P.A., indistinct]
1093
01:13:49,012 --> 01:13:50,245
Can I help you?
1094
01:13:50,847 --> 01:13:52,849
You can't,
but Bernadette can.
1095
01:13:54,183 --> 01:13:55,852
- One moment.
- Thank you.
1096
01:14:01,691 --> 01:14:04,191
- Miss Atwater!
- [chuckles]
1097
01:14:04,193 --> 01:14:09,031
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
How have you been?
1098
01:14:09,033 --> 01:14:12,000
Oh, baby, I've been good.
How about yourself?
1099
01:14:12,002 --> 01:14:14,168
I'm fine. I'm just fine.
1100
01:14:14,170 --> 01:14:15,940
Well,
what can I help you with?
1101
01:14:18,042 --> 01:14:20,043
Where's that Larry Ellis boy?
1102
01:14:21,243 --> 01:14:24,414
[Alvin murmuring]
1103
01:14:31,087 --> 01:14:32,121
Bernadette.
1104
01:14:32,789 --> 01:14:35,658
- Yes, Miss Atwater?
- I'm gonna need a favor.
1105
01:14:37,093 --> 01:14:39,560
- But that's not fair.
- I know it's not fair, honey.
1106
01:14:39,562 --> 01:14:41,663
But I went back and looked.
Not even half of them are done yet.
1107
01:14:41,665 --> 01:14:43,297
But she never does
any of her charts.
1108
01:14:43,299 --> 01:14:45,366
She always expects us
to do them for her.
1109
01:14:45,368 --> 01:14:48,072
You and I have to go over all her
work, or it's gonna be on us.
1110
01:14:53,344 --> 01:14:55,646
[Alvin humming]
1111
01:14:57,381 --> 01:14:58,415
Hello?
1112
01:15:00,250 --> 01:15:01,285
Hello?
1113
01:15:01,685 --> 01:15:03,685
Where's Larry? Where's my son?
1114
01:15:03,687 --> 01:15:05,087
He's not in his room.
What happened?
1115
01:15:05,122 --> 01:15:06,992
Nothing happened, Miss Ellis.
1116
01:15:07,423 --> 01:15:08,758
He was moved.
1117
01:15:11,095 --> 01:15:13,496
[radio: woman singing ballad]
1118
01:15:16,165 --> 01:15:17,333
It's so nice.
1119
01:15:20,971 --> 01:15:22,006
Hey, baby.
1120
01:15:22,673 --> 01:15:23,974
It's your mama.
1121
01:15:25,809 --> 01:15:27,344
Hey, baby, it's your mama.
1122
01:15:27,611 --> 01:15:29,146
- Hi.
- Hi.
1123
01:15:30,481 --> 01:15:32,016
Let's put on some music.
1124
01:15:33,018 --> 01:15:35,954
[volume increases]
1125
01:15:42,593 --> 01:15:45,227
[song fades]
1126
01:15:45,229 --> 01:15:46,263
What?
1127
01:15:48,165 --> 01:15:50,635
No, no, it's good. It's...
1128
01:15:52,604 --> 01:15:53,938
It's just, uh...
1129
01:15:57,474 --> 01:15:59,043
All right,
I'll see you at home.
1130
01:16:11,856 --> 01:16:14,525
- I want to talk to you.
- Finally.
1131
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:16,560
Look. What you, uh...
1132
01:16:18,195 --> 01:16:20,565
[sighs] I didn't... I...
1133
01:16:23,768 --> 01:16:25,668
I didn't ask for your help.
1134
01:16:25,670 --> 01:16:27,870
I can take care of
my own family, okay?
1135
01:16:27,872 --> 01:16:29,472
- Okay.
- Okay.
1136
01:16:29,474 --> 01:16:31,374
Okay.
It's just what I do, C.P.
1137
01:16:31,376 --> 01:16:34,477
Well, whatever is you do,
don't do it for me.
1138
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:35,847
I didn't do it for you.
1139
01:16:42,387 --> 01:16:43,620
[sighs]
1140
01:16:48,126 --> 01:16:50,526
- Strike one!
- Yeah, Chester, bring the heat!
1141
01:16:50,528 --> 01:16:52,664
All right, shut your hole.
That ain't helping.
1142
01:16:55,299 --> 01:16:59,337
Don't pay him no mind, boy.
He ain't goin' nowhere with two outs.
1143
01:17:00,405 --> 01:17:02,006
They'll hold 'em.
Be all right.
1144
01:17:12,484 --> 01:17:13,786
[bottle opens]
1145
01:17:15,721 --> 01:17:16,756
I'll be right back.
1146

- [bat hits ball]
- [cheering]
1147
01:17:25,097 --> 01:17:26,766
- Your boy playing today?
- Oh.
1148
01:17:27,566 --> 01:17:28,634
Mr. Ellis.
1149
01:17:29,368 --> 01:17:31,569
Uh, no. My nephew.
1150
01:17:31,970 --> 01:17:33,803
You can call me C.P.
You want a beer?
1151
01:17:33,805 --> 01:17:35,037
Oh. Thanks.
1152
01:17:35,039 --> 01:17:36,307
[umpire] Strike!
1153
01:17:38,943 --> 01:17:41,180
So, how do you think
it's going? The charrette.
1154
01:17:42,614 --> 01:17:43,949
Um...
1155
01:17:44,649 --> 01:17:45,650
It's interesting.
1156
01:17:46,919 --> 01:17:48,788
It's nice to hear
both sides, you know.
1157
01:17:49,088 --> 01:17:50,588
Yeah. Yeah.
1158
01:17:52,390 --> 01:17:54,260
We got some decisions to make.
1159
01:17:55,094 --> 01:17:56,693
[umpire]
Strike three! You're out!
1160
01:17:56,695 --> 01:17:58,597
[scattered cheering]
1161
01:17:59,297 --> 01:18:01,567
Say, that nigger fella?
The one that comes, uh...
1162
01:18:04,103 --> 01:18:05,671
He runs your hardware store?
1163
01:18:06,038 --> 01:18:08,241
Yeah. 'Bout two years now.
1164
01:18:08,607 --> 01:18:09,708
His name's Emmett.
1165
01:18:10,643 --> 01:18:13,445
And you trust him to...
to run things?
1166
01:18:17,050 --> 01:18:19,149
Sorry, I-I'm just curious.
1167
01:18:19,151 --> 01:18:23,022
I don't think I could trust one
of them to run my filling station.
1168
01:18:23,823 --> 01:18:26,324
Other than my wife,
he's the only person I trust.
1169
01:18:26,992 --> 01:18:28,125
How's that?
1170
01:18:28,127 --> 01:18:30,162
Well, he and I, we...
1171
01:18:32,431 --> 01:18:34,033
We were in Vietnam together.
1172
01:18:35,835 --> 01:18:38,138
- Oh. You were in Vietnam?
- Yeah.
1173
01:18:38,504 --> 01:18:40,973
Two tours. Got out in '68.
1174
01:18:41,473 --> 01:18:42,541
You?
1175
01:18:43,143 --> 01:18:44,743
No. No, I...
1176
01:18:47,147 --> 01:18:48,248
No.
1177
01:18:50,283 --> 01:18:51,350
Yeah.
1178
01:18:52,319 --> 01:18:54,484
Well, look, Mr. Ellis,
I know who you are.
1179
01:18:54,486 --> 01:18:55,987
And I know
what you want from me.
1180
01:18:55,989 --> 01:18:57,922
- But I just don't...
- No, no, Lee.
1181
01:18:57,924 --> 01:18:59,924
Any man who served bravely
in this country's military
1182
01:18:59,926 --> 01:19:01,995
doesn't need to hear
anything more from me.
1183
01:19:02,696 --> 01:19:04,231
You vote how you want to.
1184
01:19:04,998 --> 01:19:06,066
I'll respect it.
1185
01:19:09,635 --> 01:19:10,669
Mr. Ellis?
1186
01:19:12,638 --> 01:19:14,307
Emmett served
this country, too.
1187
01:19:15,942 --> 01:19:18,245
And he was a lot braver
than me.
1188
01:19:21,715 --> 01:19:22,749
[bat hits ball]
1189
01:19:23,350 --> 01:19:25,352
[scattered cheering]
1190
01:19:33,526 --> 01:19:36,094
All right, folks.
For our last day,
1191
01:19:36,096 --> 01:19:37,762
I thought we'd go
on a little field trip.
1192
01:19:37,764 --> 01:19:40,332
- Where to?
- You gotta vote Monday night.
1193
01:19:40,334 --> 01:19:42,700
I think it's important
we get a firsthand look
1194
01:19:42,702 --> 01:19:44,742
at what we've been talkin'
about the past few weeks.
1195
01:20:08,362 --> 01:20:10,897
[Bill] I know it's been a long
day, but this is the last one.
1196
01:20:12,199 --> 01:20:14,268
Please be careful.
Watch your step.
1197
01:20:14,668 --> 01:20:18,172
[Ann] Ain't no better over here.
It's a mess.
1198
01:20:18,571 --> 01:20:21,073
They gotta keep the doors open
because of the smell.
1199
01:20:21,075 --> 01:20:23,075
- I imagine so.
- It helps.
1200
01:20:23,077 --> 01:20:25,112
[children chattering]
1201
01:20:27,581 --> 01:20:29,415
Lot of kids
for summer school.
1202
01:20:29,417 --> 01:20:31,786
Uh...
That ain't summer school, C.P.
1203
01:20:32,553 --> 01:20:34,787
They still tryin' to finish up
from last year.
1204
01:20:34,789 --> 01:20:37,623
Yes, because of the split
shifts after the fire,
1205
01:20:37,625 --> 01:20:39,292
the students
were really only getting
1206
01:20:39,294 --> 01:20:41,727
about three hours
of schooling per day.
1207
01:20:41,729 --> 01:20:43,763
So, they're still catching up.
1208
01:20:45,565 --> 01:20:47,967
Hey, how you doin'?
Did you get them shoes I sent you?
1209
01:20:47,969 --> 01:20:49,435
Mama! [chuckles]
1210
01:20:49,437 --> 01:20:51,671
- Hey.
- Oh, this your girl?
1211
01:20:52,807 --> 01:20:54,041
- Hey.
- Hi.
1212
01:20:54,909 --> 01:20:57,912
Marilynn,
this here is, uh, Mr. Ellis.
1213
01:20:59,580 --> 01:21:00,748
Oh.
1214
01:21:02,083 --> 01:21:03,851
Well, I better get to class.
1215
01:21:04,552 --> 01:21:05,686
Okay.
1216
01:21:11,293 --> 01:21:13,926
[exhales]
1217
01:21:13,928 --> 01:21:16,365
She looked at me like I was
some kind of monster.
1218
01:21:17,665 --> 01:21:18,933
What'd you expect?
1219
01:21:21,403 --> 01:21:23,336
I don't know.
I'm trying to do right by us.
1220
01:21:23,338 --> 01:21:24,838
Make it all better.
1221
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:26,875
And how's this gonna
make it all better?
1222
01:21:27,476 --> 01:21:29,309
Hell, I'm... [scoffs]
1223
01:21:29,311 --> 01:21:31,477
They wanted to integrate restaurants.
So we did.
1224
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,046
Then came buses and bathrooms
and playgrounds.
1225
01:21:34,048 --> 01:21:35,814
Look, I'm over there right now
1226
01:21:35,816 --> 01:21:37,716
supporting more funding
to make their schools better.
1227
01:21:37,718 --> 01:21:39,818
If they have nicer schools, they'll...
[kicks cabinet]
1228
01:21:39,820 --> 01:21:41,653
...stop pushin'
to integrate ours.
1229
01:21:41,655 --> 01:21:43,557
The one thing we have left.
1230
01:21:43,858 --> 01:21:45,860
Then maybe
we'll all stop fighting.
1231
01:21:46,194 --> 01:21:47,528
Then what you gonna do?
1232
01:21:49,530 --> 01:21:50,564
What?
1233
01:21:51,799 --> 01:21:53,835
When everybody stops fighting,
who you gonna fight?
1234
01:23:00,002 --> 01:23:01,370
[doorbell rings]
1235
01:23:06,275 --> 01:23:07,776
[Ann] Okay. Coming.
1236
01:23:13,949 --> 01:23:15,349
Can I help you?
1237
01:23:15,351 --> 01:23:17,220
Hi, Ann. Um...
1238
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:19,955
I'm Mary Ellis.
Claiborne's wife.
1239
01:23:22,458 --> 01:23:23,625
Oh.
1240
01:23:24,127 --> 01:23:26,795
I'm sorry
for just dropping by. I, um...
1241
01:23:27,964 --> 01:23:31,666
I wanted to thank you for, um,
what you did
1242
01:23:32,168 --> 01:23:33,870
for our family,
for our son Larry.
1243
01:23:36,139 --> 01:23:37,273
Please, come in.
1244
01:23:41,077 --> 01:23:42,345
- Thanks.
- Go on in.
1245
01:23:46,517 --> 01:23:49,319
- Hope you like sweet tea.
- I do.
1246
01:23:52,122 --> 01:23:54,957
So Larry is doing better, huh?
1247
01:23:55,625 --> 01:23:56,791
He is.
1248
01:23:57,426 --> 01:23:59,328
You know,
sometimes it's hard to...
1249
01:24:00,863 --> 01:24:03,199
- keep him calm.
- Mm.
1250
01:24:05,801 --> 01:24:09,338
Well, has, uh...
has Larry always been like that?
1251
01:24:09,839 --> 01:24:11,007
Yeah.
1252
01:24:12,175 --> 01:24:14,511
You know, when he was little,
it just...
1253
01:24:15,278 --> 01:24:17,281
He started not to be able
to do things.
1254
01:24:20,350 --> 01:24:21,618
[chuckles]
1255
01:24:22,452 --> 01:24:24,752
Has C.P. always been
like that?
1256
01:24:24,754 --> 01:24:26,621
- [Mary] Oh.
- [both laugh]
1257
01:24:26,623 --> 01:24:27,658
Yes.
1258
01:24:29,426 --> 01:24:30,460
More or less.
1259
01:24:32,796 --> 01:24:36,364
You know, he used to be
a really good baseball player.
1260
01:24:36,366 --> 01:24:37,799
- Really?
- Showed a lot of promise.
1261
01:24:37,801 --> 01:24:39,067
Colleges came
and looked at him
1262
01:24:39,069 --> 01:24:41,405
right over here
at Liberty Park.
1263
01:24:42,539 --> 01:24:44,038
Where we met, actually.
1264
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:45,942
Came up to me,
he's so nervous.
1265
01:24:46,742 --> 01:24:49,111
Couldn't even talk.
So handsome.
1266
01:24:49,745 --> 01:24:52,046
- Oh.
- [laughing]
1267
01:24:52,048 --> 01:24:53,082
What?
1268
01:24:53,716 --> 01:24:55,619
- C.P. handsome?
- Oh.
1269
01:24:56,653 --> 01:24:57,753
He was.
1270
01:25:00,857 --> 01:25:02,059
Okay.
1271
01:25:03,660 --> 01:25:05,697
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
1272
01:25:07,699 --> 01:25:08,732
Thank you again.
1273
01:25:08,966 --> 01:25:10,000
You're welcome.
1274
01:25:15,872 --> 01:25:18,541
- Ann...
- Yes?
1275
01:25:18,543 --> 01:25:20,278
Claiborne is, uh...
1276
01:25:23,414 --> 01:25:25,116
He's doing
the best he can.
1277
01:25:28,219 --> 01:25:29,552
Bye.
1278
01:25:29,554 --> 01:25:30,721
Good-bye, Miss Ellis.
1279
01:25:34,925 --> 01:25:37,594
[gunfire]
1280
01:25:52,243 --> 01:25:53,908
Gimme a minute with C.P.,
would you?
1281
01:25:53,910 --> 01:25:55,146
Sure thing, Floyd.
1282
01:26:06,791 --> 01:26:08,893
[gunfire continues]
1283
01:26:13,732 --> 01:26:15,634
Hey. What do you say, Floyd?
1284
01:26:18,236 --> 01:26:19,303
You got one of those?
1285
01:26:27,545 --> 01:26:28,945
See the paper?
1286
01:26:29,946 --> 01:26:32,984
Nothin' I could do about that.
All part of this charrette business.
1287
01:26:37,989 --> 01:26:39,690
It don't look right.
1288
01:26:39,692 --> 01:26:41,357
It don't matter
what it looks like, Floyd.
1289
01:26:41,359 --> 01:26:42,659
Matters what it is.
1290
01:26:42,661 --> 01:26:44,028
Oh, yeah.
1291
01:26:44,630 --> 01:26:47,832
Your wife making friends
with Ann Atwater what it is?
1292
01:26:49,267 --> 01:26:50,301
What?
1293
01:26:51,869 --> 01:26:53,739
Couple of the boys
saw 'em today.
1294
01:26:55,873 --> 01:26:57,476
How am I supposed to
explain that?
1295
01:27:04,516 --> 01:27:06,350
She did something for Larry
is all.
1296
01:27:06,352 --> 01:27:08,219
Mary was just
probably thanking her.
1297
01:27:08,853 --> 01:27:10,953
Niggers is doing you
favors now, C.P.?
1298
01:27:10,955 --> 01:27:12,623
Stop with the bullshit, Floyd.
1299
01:27:13,024 --> 01:27:14,660
Mary's always gone
her own way.
1300
01:27:15,326 --> 01:27:18,194
Has nothin' to do with how
I do my business. Never has.
1301
01:27:18,196 --> 01:27:19,832
Now you got something to say?
Say it.
1302
01:27:22,501 --> 01:27:24,068
Look around you, C.P.
1303
01:27:24,470 --> 01:27:26,971
All these guys,
they look up to you.
1304
01:27:27,539 --> 01:27:28,741
They need you.
1305
01:27:30,007 --> 01:27:32,378
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm here, ain't I?
1306
01:27:33,112 --> 01:27:36,148
- Are you?
- I'm doin' everything I can.
1307
01:27:44,323 --> 01:27:48,060
[man vocalizing]
1308
01:27:50,530 --> 01:27:52,732
[folk-pop plays]
1309
01:27:57,034 --> 01:27:59,805
[man singing]
1310
01:28:36,576 --> 01:28:39,078
Hey. Is Mr. Trombley in?
1311
01:28:39,546 --> 01:28:41,414
- Yes, sir. He's...
- Can I help you?
1312
01:28:42,115 --> 01:28:43,282
Mr. Trombley.
1313
01:28:44,283 --> 01:28:47,252
We're from Durham Fire and
Life Safety Department. Uh...
1314
01:28:47,887 --> 01:28:49,789
We've got a random
inspection order here.
1315
01:28:50,255 --> 01:28:51,491
On a Sunday?
1316
01:28:53,091 --> 01:28:54,594
We do 'em when they come in.
1317
01:28:55,227 --> 01:28:57,428
We'll need access
to your breaker panels
1318
01:28:57,430 --> 01:28:59,766
and your hazardous materials
storage area.
1319
01:29:00,233 --> 01:29:03,603
Yeah, all right. Sure.
Uh, come on back. Right this way.
1320
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,073
So, Mr. Trombley, it, uh,
1321
01:29:09,075 --> 01:29:10,741
seems your
circuit breaker panels
1322
01:29:10,743 --> 01:29:12,643
are not up to code.
1323
01:29:12,645 --> 01:29:15,413
You need at least 30-inch
clearance on both sides,
1324
01:29:15,415 --> 01:29:17,183
and you've got
a little under two feet.
1325
01:29:19,085 --> 01:29:24,121
Oh... [stammers] They've been like
that for 20 years, since I was a kid.
1326
01:29:24,123 --> 01:29:28,127
Nevertheless, that needs to be
rectified before you can, uh, reopen.
1327
01:29:28,762 --> 01:29:33,199
- Reopen?
- Yeah. Gotta shut you down... indefinitely.
1328
01:29:33,967 --> 01:29:38,069
What? Oh, no. I...
See, I can't shut down.
1329
01:29:38,071 --> 01:29:40,106
I got...
I got a business here... Th...
1330
01:29:43,142 --> 01:29:45,178
[chuckles]
What are they supposed to do?
1331
01:29:48,949 --> 01:29:52,586
I'm gonna need them boys
outta here... now.
1332
01:29:55,990 --> 01:29:57,257
Like I said...
1333
01:29:59,058 --> 01:30:01,227
if you fix things...
1334
01:30:02,663 --> 01:30:04,698
you'll be open again
in no time.
1335
01:30:06,500 --> 01:30:09,770
You have a nice day,
Mr. Trombley.
1336
01:31:03,358 --> 01:31:05,159
My, my, my.
1337
01:31:06,193 --> 01:31:08,062
Aren't you
a pretty little thing?
1338
01:31:08,796 --> 01:31:09,964
Who are you?
1339
01:31:10,798 --> 01:31:11,899
What do you want?
1340
01:31:12,533 --> 01:31:15,169
Take it easy, Maddy.
We're just, uh,
1341
01:31:16,037 --> 01:31:17,771
[chuckles] friends.
1342
01:31:19,607 --> 01:31:20,775
Please don't.
1343
01:31:21,442 --> 01:31:24,211
Shh. It's okay.
1344
01:31:28,683 --> 01:31:30,919
None of these pictures
have niggers in 'em.
1345
01:31:33,888 --> 01:31:36,658
We heard you might be
a friend of niggers.
1346
01:31:36,958 --> 01:31:39,394
But I don't see none
on this wall.
1347
01:31:42,064 --> 01:31:45,567
Just to be sure though,
we're gonna need to hear you say it.
1348
01:31:47,103 --> 01:31:48,136
Say it?
1349
01:31:50,472 --> 01:31:51,506
Yes.
1350
01:31:52,507 --> 01:31:53,541
Say it.
1351
01:31:54,308 --> 01:31:56,978
That you ain't
a friend of niggers.
1352
01:31:58,813 --> 01:32:03,451
I'm... not
a friend of niggers.
1353
01:32:07,856 --> 01:32:08,857
Again.
1354
01:32:09,791 --> 01:32:12,961
I'm not a friend
of niggers.
1355
01:32:16,264 --> 01:32:17,365
[scoffs]
1356
01:32:20,803 --> 01:32:21,837
Well, then.
1357
01:32:22,237 --> 01:32:24,339
We must've got
some bad information.
1358
01:32:25,473 --> 01:32:28,209
Guess there was no need
for the visit after all.
1359
01:32:33,649 --> 01:32:35,051
Thanks for the beer, Maddy.
1360
01:32:42,323 --> 01:32:45,727
[jukebox:
woman singing country]
1361
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:52,567
- Hey.
- Beer, C.P.?
1362
01:32:53,535 --> 01:32:55,004
Yeah. Thanks, Doreen.
1363
01:32:57,039 --> 01:32:58,239
[bottle opens]
1364
01:33:02,812 --> 01:33:05,414
[Wiley laughing]
1365
01:33:06,048 --> 01:33:07,248
C.P.!
1366
01:33:07,750 --> 01:33:09,583
Hey, C.P.!
1367
01:33:09,585 --> 01:33:11,018
What do you say, boys?
1368
01:33:11,020 --> 01:33:13,355
Come on, sit down.
1369
01:33:13,923 --> 01:33:16,590
Nah. Been a long week.
1370
01:33:16,592 --> 01:33:18,659
Just gonna have one beer
and go.
1371
01:33:18,661 --> 01:33:21,263
Oh, come on, C.P.
We celebratin'.
1372
01:33:21,731 --> 01:33:24,698
Yeah. What are you
celebratin', Wiley?
1373
01:33:24,700 --> 01:33:28,672
We celebrating
you gettin' your votes, C.P.
1374
01:33:29,305 --> 01:33:32,541
Well, a little early for that,
don't you think?
1375
01:33:32,908 --> 01:33:34,744
- [laughs]
- But have fun.
1376
01:33:42,251 --> 01:33:44,019
What do you know about votes,
Wiley?
1377
01:33:46,522 --> 01:33:48,557
[laughing]
1378
01:33:52,195 --> 01:33:54,164
[people chattering]
1379
01:33:59,102 --> 01:34:01,435
- [door opens]
- You shut him down?
1380
01:34:01,437 --> 01:34:03,138
- What are you doin' here, C.P.?
- [door closes]
1381
01:34:03,140 --> 01:34:04,739
- You shut him down.
- What are you talking about?
1382
01:34:04,741 --> 01:34:06,810
- Lee Trombley.
- Is that what this is about?
1383
01:34:07,309 --> 01:34:10,645
You didn't have to do that, Carvie.
You didn't have to do that.
1384
01:34:10,647 --> 01:34:13,481
This not a good time to show up, C.P.
I got donors in there.
1385
01:34:13,483 --> 01:34:15,283
You haven't answered
my question.
1386
01:34:15,285 --> 01:34:17,454
We're just trying
to give you a leg up is all.
1387
01:34:18,287 --> 01:34:21,288
Call it insurance, whatever you want.
You got a big vote tomorrow.
1388
01:34:21,290 --> 01:34:23,490
That man served his country,
Carvie.
1389
01:34:23,492 --> 01:34:25,794
Two tours in Vietnam.
He's a working man with a family.
1390
01:34:25,796 --> 01:34:28,029
- Well...
- "Protect the white working man."
1391
01:34:28,031 --> 01:34:29,864
Isn't that what you always said,
what we always talked about?
1392
01:34:29,866 --> 01:34:35,038
C.P., sometimes there are
necessary evils.
1393
01:34:35,605 --> 01:34:38,241
Necessary evils
for the greater good.
1394
01:34:38,708 --> 01:34:40,642
And it's my job to make
those kind of decisions.
1395
01:34:40,644 --> 01:34:42,412
You're just gonna
have to trust me on this.
1396
01:34:46,883 --> 01:34:48,585
You should get
back to your party.
1397
01:34:50,221 --> 01:34:52,489
C.P.? Are we good?
1398
01:35:14,312 --> 01:35:16,746
Hey, Floyd called.
Said they want you at Klavern.
1399
01:35:20,184 --> 01:35:21,319
Klavern?
1400
01:35:24,055 --> 01:35:26,389
Something about a meeting
at 8:30 or something.
1401
01:35:27,959 --> 01:35:29,126
What? You didn't know?
1402
01:35:31,028 --> 01:35:32,964
Oh. You all right?
1403
01:35:33,965 --> 01:35:35,066
You look tired.
1404
01:35:39,503 --> 01:35:40,705
Yeah, I'm all right.
1405
01:35:41,839 --> 01:35:44,008
- You all right?
- [chuckles] Yeah, I'm all right.
1406
01:36:25,449 --> 01:36:27,585
[crowd chattering]
1407
01:37:00,185 --> 01:37:02,120
[chattering stops]
1408
01:37:14,232 --> 01:37:16,468
- [whispers, indistinct]
- He's here.
1409
01:37:26,011 --> 01:37:27,146
Come on up, C.P.
1410
01:37:39,391 --> 01:37:40,391
Hey.
1411
01:37:40,959 --> 01:37:42,127
What's goin' on?
1412
01:37:44,129 --> 01:37:46,031
Distinguished Klansmen,
1413
01:37:46,432 --> 01:37:50,667
every now and again,
extraordinary things occur within our walls
1414
01:37:50,669 --> 01:37:52,104
that need to be addressed.
1415
01:37:53,138 --> 01:37:57,210
As your state leader,
it is my job to address them.
1416
01:37:57,976 --> 01:38:00,144
In our fight
against communism,
1417
01:38:00,146 --> 01:38:02,647
against integration,
against mongrelism...
1418
01:38:03,950 --> 01:38:06,150
we turn to those among us
1419
01:38:06,152 --> 01:38:10,890
who can lead us into
a pure, white future.
1420
01:38:12,025 --> 01:38:15,395
We have one such man
here in North Carolina.
1421
01:38:17,296 --> 01:38:20,364
Your Exhalted Cyclops,
C.P. Ellis.
1422
01:38:20,366 --> 01:38:24,002
[applause, cheering]
1423
01:38:28,540 --> 01:38:34,180
So, in recognition
of this man's tireless effort,
1424
01:38:34,780 --> 01:38:36,447
for his forethought and vision
1425
01:38:36,449 --> 01:38:39,252
in establishing the UKA's
first Youth Corps...
1426
01:38:40,853 --> 01:38:42,522
I guess I'll just read this.
1427
01:38:43,523 --> 01:38:46,692
It says,
"The United Klans of America
1428
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:50,362
hereby bestow upon
Mr. Claiborne Paul Ellis
1429
01:38:50,364 --> 01:38:52,897
the honor of being named
1430
01:38:52,899 --> 01:38:57,904
North Carolina's 'Exhalted'
Cyclops of the Year, 1971."
1431
01:39:02,042 --> 01:39:04,044
[indistinct]
1432
01:39:36,076 --> 01:39:39,444
What do you mean, you're not the right
person? Baby, the vote is tonight.
1433
01:39:39,446 --> 01:39:42,347
- Yeah, but there's gotta be somebody else.
- There's nobody else, Maddy.
1434
01:39:42,349 --> 01:39:44,049
You heard everything,
you've seen everything.
1435
01:39:44,051 --> 01:39:45,517
No one else can take
your seat.
1436
01:39:45,519 --> 01:39:46,987
What brought this on, Maddy?
1437
01:39:48,590 --> 01:39:50,222
What happened?
1438
01:39:50,224 --> 01:39:52,059
- Nothing. I just...
- [footsteps approach]
1439
01:39:55,261 --> 01:39:59,065
It's nothing. Um... It's fine.
If you'll just excuse me.
1440
01:39:59,399 --> 01:40:00,967
[Ann] Mm-hmm.
1441
01:40:13,514 --> 01:40:15,682
Maddy Mays don't want to vote.
1442
01:40:16,316 --> 01:40:18,520
Just like that, out of the blue.
[snaps fingers]
1443
01:40:20,754 --> 01:40:22,622
- What'd you do to that girl?
- Now, Ann.
1444
01:40:22,624 --> 01:40:24,664
I saw the way she looked...
Don't you "Now, Ann" me.
1445
01:40:25,627 --> 01:40:27,428
You coward.
1446
01:40:28,028 --> 01:40:30,331
- I ain't no coward.
- Yeah, you a coward.
1447
01:40:30,598 --> 01:40:33,765
Couldn't do it in here.
Too many people with they own thoughts.
1448
01:40:33,767 --> 01:40:36,536
You couldn't win in here,
so you went and you fixed it out there.
1449
01:40:36,538 --> 01:40:38,858
- I don't have to listen to this.
- You gonna listen today.
1450
01:40:39,806 --> 01:40:41,875
What you so afraid of, C.P.?
1451
01:40:42,476 --> 01:40:44,675
- I ain't afraid of nothing.
- Yeah, you is. You're afraid.
1452
01:40:44,677 --> 01:40:46,745
You afraid
you gonna lose control.
1453
01:40:46,747 --> 01:40:49,681
You afraid you gonna lose
what you ain't even got, C.P.!
1454
01:40:49,683 --> 01:40:51,850
You're poor.
Just like the rest of us.
1455
01:40:51,852 --> 01:40:53,685
You ain't got nothing
'cept problems.
1456
01:40:53,687 --> 01:40:55,588
Talkin' 'bout you...
you in control.
1457
01:40:55,590 --> 01:40:57,824
You ain't no more in control
than the man in the moon.
1458
01:40:58,792 --> 01:41:01,229
You're a bigger coward
than I thought you was.
1459
01:41:01,663 --> 01:41:03,631
[footsteps depart]
1460
01:41:26,355 --> 01:41:28,357
[male reporter]
The five o'clock news hour.
1461
01:41:28,691 --> 01:41:33,192
With the highly anticipated charrette
vote just a few hours away now,
1462
01:41:33,194 --> 01:41:36,162
we caught up
with WDNC's Ken Meadows,
1463
01:41:36,164 --> 01:41:38,331
who was with some students
1464
01:41:38,333 --> 01:41:40,969
gathered outside the
charrette site earlier today.
1465
01:41:41,369 --> 01:41:42,868
[Meadows] Do you think
it's gonna be okay?
1466
01:41:42,870 --> 01:41:44,339
[child]
Well, it might be all right.
1467
01:41:45,807 --> 01:41:47,640
[child 2]
I think the same thing too.
1468
01:41:47,642 --> 01:41:49,575
- [child 3] Uh-uh. I don't.
- [Meadows] Why not?
1469
01:41:49,577 --> 01:41:53,580
I don't. Because, see,
our first day that I went out there
1470
01:41:53,582 --> 01:41:55,416
where we had to scramble,
you know.
1471
01:41:55,817 --> 01:41:57,218
But it was okay.
1472
01:41:58,253 --> 01:42:01,388
[girl] It doesn't matter what school
you go to, it's gonna be the same.
1473
01:42:01,390 --> 01:42:03,259
You get your education
just the same.
1474
01:42:04,058 --> 01:42:07,529
I'm fixin' to enroll now,
and it'll be my school.
1475
01:42:08,930 --> 01:42:11,498
[Meadows] Are you concerned for
your daughter, or is she concerned?
1476
01:42:11,500 --> 01:42:13,100
[woman]
Well, I'm concerned for her,
1477
01:42:13,102 --> 01:42:15,604
and I think she's concerned
for her education.
1478
01:42:16,538 --> 01:42:18,537
[Meadows] Laverne,
I just talked to your mother.
1479
01:42:18,539 --> 01:42:20,539
She said you're a little concerned.
Are you?
1480
01:42:20,541 --> 01:42:22,777
- [Laverne] I'm very much concerned.- Why?
1481
01:42:23,411 --> 01:42:27,113
Oh, because I wanna...
I wanna be very sure about this year,
1482
01:42:27,115 --> 01:42:30,319
and I want to really know
what they're doing, and...
1483
01:42:31,052 --> 01:42:35,656
I think that it will work out if
everybody cooperates together.
1484
01:42:35,658 --> 01:42:39,559
Because, I mean, this is not
the, probably, first time...
1485
01:42:39,561 --> 01:42:42,364
[continues, indistinct]
1486
01:43:08,791 --> 01:43:10,693
[breath quavers]
1487
01:43:18,500 --> 01:43:20,804
[loud chattering]
1488
01:44:13,857 --> 01:44:16,659
- You did great work, Ann.
- No.
1489
01:44:17,127 --> 01:44:20,561
The one thing those people came here
for, we didn't get it for 'em.
1490
01:44:20,563 --> 01:44:22,932
Not true.
Some of them will be delighted.
1491
01:44:23,566 --> 01:44:24,934
[chuckles]
1492
01:44:26,102 --> 01:44:28,905
You know, I never really
thought you was an Uncle Tom.
1493
01:44:29,939 --> 01:44:31,141
Yes, you did.
1494
01:44:32,777 --> 01:44:34,812
[both chuckling]
1495
01:44:35,346 --> 01:44:36,814
"Roughhouse Annie," huh?
1496
01:44:37,247 --> 01:44:38,783
Don't you forget it.
1497
01:44:47,757 --> 01:44:49,359
Welcome, welcome.
1498
01:44:51,261 --> 01:44:53,530
[applause]
1499
01:44:56,867 --> 01:45:00,103
Well, what a journey
it's been, folks.
1500
01:45:00,738 --> 01:45:03,774
You've all shown such
dedication these past two weeks.
1501
01:45:04,073 --> 01:45:07,578
And regardless of the outcome,
you should be proud.
1502
01:45:14,785 --> 01:45:17,920
The resolution you've put
before this senate is clear,
1503
01:45:17,922 --> 01:45:21,659
it is thoughtful,
and above all, it is brave.
1504
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:24,428
This resolution is
in three parts.
1505
01:45:24,995 --> 01:45:26,896
After I read out each one,
1506
01:45:26,898 --> 01:45:29,299
I will call the senate members
up to cast their votes.
1507
01:45:30,066 --> 01:45:33,769
Each part requires
a two-thirds majority to pass.
1508
01:45:33,771 --> 01:45:35,473
That's eight votes.
1509
01:45:37,006 --> 01:45:38,141
Part one.
1510
01:45:39,142 --> 01:45:41,610
Two students,
one black, one white,
1511
01:45:41,612 --> 01:45:45,483
to be appointed every year
to the Durham school board.
1512
01:45:45,783 --> 01:45:47,785
I vote yes.
1513
01:45:51,288 --> 01:45:52,456
Mr. Watford.
1514
01:45:54,225 --> 01:45:55,426
I'm a no.
1515
01:45:57,595 --> 01:45:59,294
- I vote yes.
- [applause]
1516
01:45:59,296 --> 01:46:01,766
[Bill] Part one passes
with eight votes.
1517
01:46:04,803 --> 01:46:10,440
Part two. This calls that summer classes
be included in the school board budget
1518
01:46:10,442 --> 01:46:13,510
so the black students become
level with their white peers.
1519
01:46:13,512 --> 01:46:14,646
Mr. Weeks.
1520
01:46:16,348 --> 01:46:18,647
- I vote no.
- [scattered applause]
1521
01:46:18,649 --> 01:46:19,717
Mr. Cox.
1522
01:46:20,751 --> 01:46:21,886
[Cox] I vote yes.
1523
01:46:24,288 --> 01:46:25,356
I vote yes.
1524
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,393
[Bill] Part two passes
with eight votes.
1525
01:46:31,395 --> 01:46:34,331
[applause]
1526
01:46:43,073 --> 01:46:44,242
Part three.
1527
01:46:48,480 --> 01:46:50,081
Public school integration.
1528
01:46:51,650 --> 01:46:52,784
In summary,
1529
01:46:53,685 --> 01:46:56,553
this calls for full
and immediate integration
1530
01:46:56,555 --> 01:46:59,491
starting in the fall semester
of this school year.
1531
01:47:00,358 --> 01:47:04,360
The resolution defines full
integration by setting a race ratio
1532
01:47:04,362 --> 01:47:09,199
of no less than 25 percent
of any race at each school.
1533
01:47:10,001 --> 01:47:13,469
And further, that busing be
made available to students
1534
01:47:13,471 --> 01:47:16,775
to aid in the implementation
of this ratio.
1535
01:47:19,177 --> 01:47:21,913
We'll start the vote
on this side with Miss Wilson.
1536
01:47:23,682 --> 01:47:25,750
[people whispering]
1537
01:47:31,590 --> 01:47:33,425
I vote yes.
1538
01:47:38,965 --> 01:47:40,066
Mr. Watford?
1539
01:47:46,606 --> 01:47:47,705
I vote no.
1540
01:47:47,707 --> 01:47:50,076
[applause]
1541
01:47:51,978 --> 01:47:53,645
Mr. Mose.
1542
01:47:57,917 --> 01:47:59,549
I vote yes.
1543
01:47:59,551 --> 01:48:01,419
[applause]
1544
01:48:04,422 --> 01:48:05,590
Mr. Weeks.
1545
01:48:10,096 --> 01:48:13,296
I vote "hell no."
1546
01:48:13,298 --> 01:48:15,067
[cheering, applause]
1547
01:48:19,538 --> 01:48:20,806
Mr. Cox?
1548
01:48:25,711 --> 01:48:27,344
I vote "hell yes."
1549
01:48:27,346 --> 01:48:29,548
[cheering, applause]
1550
01:48:35,789 --> 01:48:36,957
Mr. Trombley.
1551
01:48:48,199 --> 01:48:49,735
Thank you, Mr. Riddick.
1552
01:48:57,010 --> 01:48:59,944
I believe in school
integration, and I vote yes.
1553
01:48:59,946 --> 01:49:02,481
[applause]
1554
01:49:04,918 --> 01:49:06,352
It's not gonna matter.
1555
01:49:13,292 --> 01:49:14,393
[Bill] Reverend.
1556
01:49:17,330 --> 01:49:23,236
With the good Lord as my
guide, I proudly vote yes.
1557
01:49:27,274 --> 01:49:28,408
Miss Mays.
1558
01:49:46,893 --> 01:49:51,598
Although I think it should be
considered in the future, I...
1559
01:49:54,868 --> 01:49:58,039
I don't believe right now
is the time for integration.
1560
01:49:59,506 --> 01:50:01,441
Respectfully, I vote no.
1561
01:50:03,211 --> 01:50:05,378
- [applause]
- Hey.
1562
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:21,728
[applause quiets]
1563
01:50:35,143 --> 01:50:36,276
Mr. Clement.
1564
01:50:41,448 --> 01:50:46,552
I am honored to have had the
chance to get to know most of you
1565
01:50:46,554 --> 01:50:48,523
these past few weeks,
1566
01:50:48,923 --> 01:50:51,859
to work on these vital issues.
1567
01:50:52,293 --> 01:50:56,531
And while I fear
that my vote will be in vain,
1568
01:50:57,266 --> 01:50:58,833
I'm still gonna vote.
1569
01:50:59,667 --> 01:51:02,503
And I vote yes
on school integration.
1570
01:51:08,142 --> 01:51:09,177
Mr. Keith.
1571
01:51:15,650 --> 01:51:16,684
No.
1572
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:27,296
Miss Atwater.
1573
01:51:55,723 --> 01:51:56,757
Yes.
1574
01:51:57,491 --> 01:51:59,727
[applause]
1575
01:52:04,233 --> 01:52:06,068
Looks like
we finally shut her up.
1576
01:52:08,103 --> 01:52:09,370
Mr. Ellis.
1577
01:52:10,205 --> 01:52:11,706
- [applause]
- All right.
1578
01:52:12,274 --> 01:52:13,507
All right.
1579
01:52:16,812 --> 01:52:17,880
All right.
1580
01:52:18,981 --> 01:52:20,015
Thank you.
1581
01:52:20,649 --> 01:52:21,715
Thank you.
1582
01:52:21,717 --> 01:52:23,185
[whistling]
1583
01:52:24,319 --> 01:52:25,754
I-I-I...
1584
01:52:31,327 --> 01:52:34,930
- Uh...
- [applause quiets]
1585
01:52:36,065 --> 01:52:38,366
I guess I'd first echo
what Mr. Clement said.
1586
01:52:38,368 --> 01:52:40,270
It was good to get to know
some of you, and I...
1587
01:52:41,402 --> 01:52:45,107
I know many of you will be
disappointed with our outcome here.
1588
01:52:46,275 --> 01:52:47,309
I, uh...
1589
01:53:01,757 --> 01:53:03,659
You know, before I go on...
[clears throat]
1590
01:53:05,061 --> 01:53:06,929
...I'd like to show you all
something.
1591
01:53:09,564 --> 01:53:11,999
- This is my Klan membership card.
- [man] All right.
1592
01:53:12,001 --> 01:53:13,901
[scattered laughter]
1593
01:53:13,903 --> 01:53:17,106
I was given this card
12 years ago.
1594
01:53:18,341 --> 01:53:20,442
It's been in my wallet
ever since.
1595
01:53:21,177 --> 01:53:23,244
In fact, I cried
when they gave me this card.
1596
01:53:23,246 --> 01:53:26,282
And I grew up in a house where
I was taught men don't cry.
1597
01:53:27,050 --> 01:53:28,551
But I cried anyway.
1598
01:53:29,518 --> 01:53:33,156
I cried because it was the first
time in my life I didn't feel alone.
1599
01:53:36,259 --> 01:53:38,426
Sure, I was married
with a family.
1600
01:53:38,428 --> 01:53:41,062
That's not the kind of alone
I'm talking about.
1601
01:53:41,064 --> 01:53:43,465
As a man, you're expected
to take care of that family.
1602
01:53:44,801 --> 01:53:46,836
And I was havin' a hard time
doin' that.
1603
01:53:47,569 --> 01:53:51,207
We were struggling.
So...
1604
01:53:52,442 --> 01:53:54,775
There I was.
I was a part of something now.
1605
01:53:54,777 --> 01:53:58,214
Something much,
much bigger than me.
1606
01:54:00,083 --> 01:54:03,119
And then when they made me
president, boy, I was over the moon.
1607
01:54:04,455 --> 01:54:06,723
Poor old C.P. Ellis
president of something.
1608
01:54:08,359 --> 01:54:09,994
Whoa. [chuckles]
1609
01:54:18,067 --> 01:54:20,136
And it's a real brotherhood.
It is.
1610
01:54:20,436 --> 01:54:22,705
In the Klan,
you look out for one another.
1611
01:54:23,139 --> 01:54:26,275
Nobody is left behind.
Everybody does for everybody else.
1612
01:54:26,976 --> 01:54:28,809
In fact, it says it right
here on this card...
1613
01:54:28,811 --> 01:54:32,515
It says
"Non silba, sed anthar."
1614
01:54:33,649 --> 01:54:36,519
Which means "Not for
oneself, but for others."
1615
01:54:37,321 --> 01:54:38,688
That's our motto.
1616
01:54:42,192 --> 01:54:43,860
But see, now I got a problem.
1617
01:54:45,162 --> 01:54:46,263
There's a problem...
1618
01:54:48,065 --> 01:54:50,365
'cause there's a lot of that going
around right here in this room.
1619
01:54:50,367 --> 01:54:51,702
People doin' for others.
1620
01:54:53,504 --> 01:54:55,873
Last two weeks have been
full of people just do...
1621
01:54:56,740 --> 01:54:57,941
doing for others.
1622
01:54:59,076 --> 01:55:01,511
And they're not just white people.
There's a...
1623
01:55:01,513 --> 01:55:03,847
There's a lot of black folk
doing for others too.
1624
01:55:05,215 --> 01:55:06,914
But I'm the president
of the Klan.
1625
01:55:06,916 --> 01:55:08,517
I'm supposed to hate
black folk.
1626
01:55:08,519 --> 01:55:11,721
I teach people
to hate black folk.
1627
01:55:13,656 --> 01:55:16,026
They're supposed to be
inferior to us.
1628
01:55:18,694 --> 01:55:20,431
Now, if I don't believe that,
1629
01:55:20,998 --> 01:55:24,034
then I have no business being
president of the Klan.
1630
01:55:29,706 --> 01:55:31,008
Well, I don't believe it.
1631
01:55:34,379 --> 01:55:35,779
So my problem is...
1632
01:55:37,014 --> 01:55:38,916
I don't have no need
for this anymore.
1633
01:55:54,264 --> 01:55:56,031
Mr. Riddick, I vote yes.
1634
01:55:56,033 --> 01:55:57,099
Jesus!
1635
01:55:57,101 --> 01:55:58,467
[cheering]
1636
01:55:58,469 --> 01:55:59,803
[no audible dialogue]
1637
01:56:13,951 --> 01:56:15,553
I just don't believe it.
1638
01:56:25,063 --> 01:56:26,231
[Ann] C.P.?
1639
01:56:29,634 --> 01:56:30,735
C.P.?
1640
01:56:57,596 --> 01:57:00,298
[phone rings]
1641
01:57:03,536 --> 01:57:05,504
[rings]
1642
01:57:10,543 --> 01:57:11,644
Yeah?
1643
01:57:37,336 --> 01:57:38,470
[Jeb] Where's the key?
1644
01:57:38,836 --> 01:57:40,639
- Jeb!
- Where's the key?
1645
01:57:44,376 --> 01:57:45,910
Call the fire department!
1646
01:57:53,519 --> 01:57:55,621
- Come on.
- [both straining]
1647
01:58:44,069 --> 01:58:45,272
[woman] Thank you.
1648
01:58:45,938 --> 01:58:49,542
Next on the agenda is delivery
of the charrette resolution.
1649
01:58:50,076 --> 01:58:53,079
The council recognizes
Miss Atwater.
1650
01:59:12,632 --> 01:59:15,167
[phone rings]
1651
01:59:18,672 --> 01:59:20,707
[rings]
1652
01:59:23,276 --> 01:59:25,045
Yeah. Hello?
1653
01:59:25,745 --> 01:59:27,914
[line disconnects, dial tone]
1654
02:00:20,334 --> 02:00:21,736
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1655
02:00:23,870 --> 02:00:25,005
How many?
1656
02:00:25,373 --> 02:00:28,209
Well, you lost
about 650 gallons.
1657
02:00:28,943 --> 02:00:30,644
You're lucky
the thing didn't explode.
1658
02:00:31,178 --> 02:00:32,680
Yeah, okay.
1659
02:00:33,180 --> 02:00:36,818
You want to replace the loss?
I can have a truck here tomorrow.
1660
02:00:39,353 --> 02:00:41,487
No. Let's see how
the rest of the month goes.
1661
02:00:41,489 --> 02:00:42,556
All right.
1662
02:00:43,890 --> 02:00:46,394
- What's this?
- Would you sign both pages?
1663
02:01:08,750 --> 02:01:09,885
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
1664
02:01:10,619 --> 02:01:12,119
Change your mind,
give us a call.
1665
02:01:34,843 --> 02:01:36,577
- Mr. Ellis.
- Mm-hmm?
1666
02:01:38,112 --> 02:01:40,114
If you need to let me go,
it's okay.
1667
02:01:40,782 --> 02:01:42,884
You know,
until things pick up again.
1668
02:01:44,418 --> 02:01:47,288
I appreciate that, Jeb.
But we're not there yet, okay?
1669
02:01:47,722 --> 02:01:50,325
So for now, go ahead,
take your lunch break.
1670
02:01:51,460 --> 02:01:53,093
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1671
02:01:53,862 --> 02:01:54,930
All right.
1672
02:01:57,899 --> 02:02:00,602
- [vehicle approaches]
- [bell dings]
1673
02:02:21,289 --> 02:02:25,123
I hope you didn't come here to
ask me to co-chair somethin' else.
1674
02:02:25,125 --> 02:02:27,927
Nah. I just came
to say good-bye is all.
1675
02:02:27,929 --> 02:02:30,699
- Back to Raleigh, huh?
- Back to Raleigh.
1676
02:02:38,841 --> 02:02:40,440
What trouble you been causin'?
1677
02:02:40,442 --> 02:02:43,044
- Just organizing, you know me.
- [chuckles]
1678
02:02:43,746 --> 02:02:46,147
- It's what you do, right?
- It's just what I do.
1679
02:02:46,516 --> 02:02:48,248
I sure wish
you coulda been there
1680
02:02:48,250 --> 02:02:50,818
when we handed in
our resolution. Mmm.
1681
02:02:50,820 --> 02:02:53,054
Old Carvie Oldham
didn't even show up.
1682
02:02:53,589 --> 02:02:54,624
[scoffs]
1683
02:02:56,158 --> 02:02:57,627
Wish I'd seen that.
1684
02:02:58,127 --> 02:02:59,495
How are you doin', C.P.?
1685
02:03:00,363 --> 02:03:02,198
Oh, had a little trouble here.
1686
02:03:03,366 --> 02:03:05,331
Just trying to
put it back together.
1687
02:03:05,333 --> 02:03:06,701
Yeah, we heard.
1688
02:03:07,736 --> 02:03:09,502
I'm so sorry, C.P.
1689
02:03:09,504 --> 02:03:12,374
It's okay.
Although not sure it matters much.
1690
02:03:13,141 --> 02:03:16,342
Nobody stoppin' to buy gas
from me these days.
1691
02:03:16,344 --> 02:03:18,646
[horns honking in distance]
1692
02:03:18,648 --> 02:03:22,050
Well... Maybe things
will pick up for you.
1693
02:03:23,819 --> 02:03:25,388
What you smilin' at?
1694
02:03:25,688 --> 02:03:27,790
- [chuckling]
- [honking continues]
1695
02:03:34,196 --> 02:03:36,165
[honking continues]
1696
02:03:57,420 --> 02:03:59,522
That's just what I do, C.P.
1697
02:03:59,889 --> 02:04:02,158
You know that.
That's just what I do.
1698
02:04:19,076 --> 02:04:22,178
- [bell dings]
- Hey, Jeb. We got customers.
1699
02:04:26,416 --> 02:04:29,086
Gas? [chuckles]
1700
02:04:29,453 --> 02:04:31,086
- Gas?
- [Jeb] All right, sir.
1701
02:04:31,088 --> 02:04:32,654
[C.P.] You want gas?
1702
02:04:32,656 --> 02:04:34,458
- [Jeb] Yeah, no problem.
- [C.P.] All right.
1703
02:04:38,930 --> 02:04:41,263
[soul song plays]
1704
02:04:48,038 --> 02:04:50,841
[man singing]
1705
02:04:52,943 --> 02:04:56,911
She can upset the world with
her mouth if she wants to.
1706
02:04:56,913 --> 02:04:59,881
But everywhere I go,
every time I pick up a newspaper,
1707
02:04:59,883 --> 02:05:03,218
Ann Atwater's been before the
council, the county commission,
1708
02:05:03,220 --> 02:05:05,620
or she was at some
shopping center boycotting,
1709
02:05:05,622 --> 02:05:07,391
or she was downtown
at Woolworths.
1710
02:05:07,959 --> 02:05:09,925
And he was woofin'
and goin' on,
1711
02:05:09,927 --> 02:05:12,028
and the place was packed
with Klansmen.
1712
02:05:12,030 --> 02:05:15,532
This particular night, C.P.
was up raging and ranting.
1713
02:05:16,134 --> 02:05:18,201
That's when
I wanted to cut his head off.
1714
02:05:18,468 --> 02:05:20,435
And after that first meeting,
1715
02:05:20,437 --> 02:05:22,940
I actually went home saying,
this is crazy.
1716
02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:27,143
This is absolutely crazy.
I don't think I wanna do this.
1717
02:05:27,145 --> 02:05:30,013
I mean, I can make a living
easier than this.
1718
02:05:30,681 --> 02:05:33,583
[song continues]
1719
02:05:37,187 --> 02:05:40,124
The story was picked up
in The Washington Post.
1720
02:05:40,824 --> 02:05:43,393
"Black man calls Klansman
'brother.'"
1721
02:05:43,995 --> 02:05:48,132
And of course, my father, when he read
the story in The Washington Post...
1722
02:05:49,199 --> 02:05:51,069
he thought I had lost my mind.
1723
02:05:58,609 --> 02:06:04,482
In becoming my friend,
C.P. has lost a lot.
1724
02:06:04,816 --> 02:06:08,187
Look, you do not make those changes
without having to pay for 'em.
1725
02:06:08,586 --> 02:06:11,487
I know damn well, you know.
1726
02:06:11,489 --> 02:06:13,224
You have to pay for it
eventually.
1727
02:06:13,859 --> 02:06:16,524
We bonded,
and we are still bonding.
1728
02:06:16,526 --> 02:06:18,426
Until I get mad with him
at times.
1729
02:06:18,428 --> 02:06:22,330
But we've made it through these
years, together 30 years,
1730
02:06:22,332 --> 02:06:23,935
and we're still friends.
1731
02:06:24,836 --> 02:06:27,405
[song continues]
1732
02:06:45,224 --> 02:06:50,028
'Cause there are C.P. Ellises and Ann
Atwaters in almost every community.
1733
02:06:51,262 --> 02:06:53,132
They just need
to be brought together
1734
02:06:53,665 --> 02:06:57,236
and experience what we experienced
in Durham with that charrette.
1735
02:07:01,740 --> 02:07:03,809
[no audible dialogue]
1736
02:07:05,843 --> 02:07:08,079
[song fades]
1737
02:07:09,413 --> 02:07:11,415
