1
00:00:12,054 --> 00:00:14,722
And I say segregation now,
2
00:00:14,723 --> 00:00:18,268
segregation tomorrow,
and segregation forever.

00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:25,317

00:00:32,908 --> 00:00:39,165

00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,166

00:00:47,839 --> 00:00:52,344

00:00:53,011 --> 00:00:55,097

00:01:03,021 --> 00:01:07,860
_
9
00:01:10,195 --> 00:01:12,488
Red or blue?
10
00:01:12,489 --> 00:01:14,700
Neither.
11
00:01:25,544 --> 00:01:26,919
So I had three choices?
12
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,131
Uh-hmm.
13
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:34,011
None of this would
have been possible without you.
14
00:01:35,304 --> 00:01:37,054
Well, they haven't passed it yet
15
00:01:37,055 --> 00:01:38,806
and Senator Thurmond
is doing all that he
16
00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:40,809
can to make sure it never happens.
17
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:43,642
We should invite
the Senator to Montgomery.
18
00:01:44,146 --> 00:01:45,938
Show him what happens
to those who fight on
19
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,565
the side of "never."
20
00:01:47,566 --> 00:01:49,818
Are you sure you
wanna go through with this?
21
00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:52,779
These people will try
to run you out of town.
22
00:01:53,405 --> 00:01:55,365
Well, you know I don't run.
23
00:01:56,491 --> 00:01:58,035
Then walk fast.
24
00:01:58,660 --> 00:01:59,827
Be careful.
25
00:01:59,828 --> 00:02:01,454
All that has been sacrificed,
26
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:04,833
that we sacrificed,
it'll all be worth it today.
27
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:07,626
Half these folks
don't believe the things they're
28
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:11,256
saying and the other half
don't know what to believe.
29
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,332
Well, you better
hurry up and help them decide.
30
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:30,942
Don't answer the door while I'm gone.
31
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:44,581
Don't leave the
room until I come back.
32
00:02:48,126 --> 00:02:50,378
Malcolm, what do
you think of the Senate debate?
33
00:02:50,379 --> 00:02:52,671
Well, the debate's a
con game threatening to provoke
34
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:54,465
a race war if the
government's not serious about
35
00:02:54,466 --> 00:02:56,258
civil rights enforcement.
36
00:02:56,259 --> 00:02:57,510
Do you support changes to the bill?
37
00:02:57,511 --> 00:02:59,011
No, the bill should be passed
38
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:00,513
exactly as written with no changes.
39
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:03,224
But the struggle for
Black equality won't end.
40
00:03:03,225 --> 00:03:05,101
You can't legislate goodwill.
41
00:03:05,102 --> 00:03:06,727
Are you suggesting
that people fear many
42
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:07,895
of your views?
43
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:09,397
Well, I'm not surprised that
44
00:03:09,398 --> 00:03:10,731
some may fear the truth,
45
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:12,483
but my two eldest
daughters sit either side of me
46
00:03:12,484 --> 00:03:15,362
on the couch when I show
them my butterfly collection.
47
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,530
I ask them if anyone should fear me.
48
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:20,116
You have a butterfly collection?
49
00:03:20,117 --> 00:03:22,326
Oh, yes. I admire the butterfly.
50
00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:24,453
They start off crawling,
clinging to life,
51
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:27,832
moving slowly in the dirt
hoping not to be stepped on.
52
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,459
Then one day they are
transformed into something
53
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:33,422
beautiful that can fly
without limitations.
54
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:36,424
Now, isn't that something
truly revolutionary?
55
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:38,676
There's a lesson in that
if you're willing to learn.
56
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:41,679
Dr. King, how do you
respond to Senator Thurmond
57
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,765
threatening to filibuster
the Civil Rights Bill?
58
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,684
Well, I'm here
today doing this critical debate
59
00:03:46,685 --> 00:03:49,478
to convince his fellow
senators to do otherwise.
60
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,063
But I assure you,
61
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:54,109
we will not be content
even after this bill is passed.
62
00:03:54,526 --> 00:03:59,071
The failure to pass the
bill would thrust our nation
63
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,867
into a dim horizon of social turmoil.
64
00:04:02,284 --> 00:04:03,701
Are you suggesting
it might be violence if
65
00:04:03,702 --> 00:04:05,870
the bill is defeated?
66
00:04:05,871 --> 00:04:09,081
Realism impels
me to admit that if the bill
67
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:10,499
is not passed,
68
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,003
it'll be harder to keep
the struggle disciplined.
69
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:23,679
Reverend.
70
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,264
Minister.
71
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,558
I've been hoping
for this day for a long time.
72
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:28,893
We meet at last.
73
00:04:28,894 --> 00:04:30,352
It seems like we've attracted quite
74
00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:32,062
a bit of attention.
75
00:04:32,063 --> 00:04:34,607
What makes me think
you may have invited them?
76
00:04:34,608 --> 00:04:35,941
No.
77
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:38,027
I'm sure they must be
here for you, Doctor.
78
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:39,528
One thing's for certain,
79
00:04:39,529 --> 00:04:41,155
you're now going to be investigated.
80
00:04:41,156 --> 00:04:42,865
Well, I have it on good authority.
81
00:04:42,866 --> 00:04:46,786
My file is already
much larger than yours.
82
00:04:54,669 --> 00:04:55,795
Who do you think this is going to
83
00:04:55,796 --> 00:04:57,129
hurt more, you or me?
84
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:58,672
I imagine it's unlikely to aid
85
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:00,049
either one of us.
86
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:01,759
Well, then let's keep them guessing.
87
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,177
Amen to that.
88
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:05,013
All praise to Allah.
89
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,056
We should do this again sometime.
90
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:09,434
Absolutely.

A people without the knowledge of
93
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:26,200
their culture, history,
or origin, is like a tree
94
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:28,118
without the root. _
95
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:31,539
Those are the words of the
Honorable Marcus Garvey.
96
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:35,001
Organizer of our first
Black nationalist movement.
97
00:05:38,463 --> 00:05:41,842
Who taught us that Black
skin isn't a badge of shame.
98
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:47,889
But a symbol of glorious
symbol of national greatness.
99
00:05:49,641 --> 00:05:50,724
Yeah.
100
00:05:50,725 --> 00:05:53,686
30, 60, 90 years from now,
101
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:57,231
do you think that
America will ever fully
102
00:05:57,232 --> 00:05:59,066
embrace the Black man?
103
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:00,944
- No!
- No.
104
00:06:01,278 --> 00:06:05,114
Uh-uh, as long
as Negroes live in America,
105
00:06:05,115 --> 00:06:08,325
our masses will suffer,
106
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:12,163
lives of ruin, heartache, despair.
107
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:18,211
We must unite, build,
protect a land of our own.
108
00:06:22,924 --> 00:06:24,676
Malcolm.
109
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:29,430
We do not fight for ourselves,
110
00:06:29,431 --> 00:06:31,098
we fight for our children.
111
00:06:31,099 --> 00:06:32,224
Right.
112
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:34,477
We have one destiny.
113
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:37,354
Before you leave here tonight,
114
00:06:37,355 --> 00:06:39,023
make sure you sign up for the
115
00:06:39,024 --> 00:06:41,901
Universal Negro
Improvement Association.
116
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,486
Be a part of the
largest movement of Negroes
117
00:06:44,487 --> 00:06:45,863
in the world!
118
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:47,823
Yeah!
119
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:48,907
What do you say, Malcolm?
120
00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:50,284
Africa for the Africans,
121
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:51,910
at home and abroad!
122
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:53,120
Yes!
123
00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:56,041
Africa for the Africans,
at home and abroad!
124
00:06:56,666 --> 00:07:00,128
Africa for the Africans,
at home and abroad!
125
00:07:00,487 --> 00:07:02,023
_
126
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:04,798
There are some
that would have us believe
127
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:06,800
that we don't belong here.
128
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:08,135
Uh-hmm.
129
00:07:08,136 --> 00:07:10,137
That we should just pack on up and
130
00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:12,182
go back to Africa!
131
00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:16,686
And some of the people who
believe this look just like you.
132
00:07:17,937 --> 00:07:20,606
They look just like me.
133
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,275
Yeah.
134
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:26,487
I don't know about y'all,
135
00:07:26,488 --> 00:07:28,239
but I ain't going nowhere.
136
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,032
That's right.
137
00:07:30,033 --> 00:07:33,911
America was built
on the backs of our people
138
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:37,957
during 400 years of free labor!
139
00:07:39,084 --> 00:07:41,419
400 years of our blood.
140
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:44,172
400 years of our sweat.
141
00:07:44,673 --> 00:07:50,470
400 years of our
tears baked into the soil!
142
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:57,936
I had an uncle named Martin
and another one named Luther.
143
00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:01,647
So in their honor and
in keeping with the
144
00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:03,774
wishes of my father,
145
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:05,611
I'm changing my name to Martin Luther.
146
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:09,698
As well as yours.
147
00:08:12,409 --> 00:08:14,118
Are you sure
you're not doing this because
148
00:08:14,119 --> 00:08:17,038
of your trip to Berlin when
you came back all excited about
149
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:18,582
the land of Martin Luther?
150
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:20,625
Don't matter why,
151
00:08:20,626 --> 00:08:22,543
just matters that I
made the decision to do it.
152
00:08:22,544 --> 00:08:24,086
All his friends know him as Mike.
153
00:08:24,087 --> 00:08:26,422
Now they can know him as Martin.
154
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:27,965
But I don't wanna change my name.
155
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:29,508
I like Michael.
156
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,636
Shouldn't he have
some say in the matter?
157
00:08:31,637 --> 00:08:33,931
Did he have a say the first time?
158
00:08:35,057 --> 00:08:37,516
New name denotes a new identity.
159
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:40,270
Disciple Peter got rebranded
by Jesus Christ himself.
160
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:42,605
I named him after the Archangel.
161
00:08:42,606 --> 00:08:44,065
My son will have the same name that I
162
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:46,068
have chosen for myself.
163
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:52,740
I haven't given you
permission to leave the table.
164
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:55,118
May I be excused?
165
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:19,600
After today's service,
166
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:22,520
maybe we go get some ice cream?
167
00:09:22,521 --> 00:09:26,024
You know what kind you want, Martin?
168
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:30,570
Martin, I am speaking to you.
169
00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:34,740
And I know you can hear me.
170
00:09:34,741 --> 00:09:37,076
Also know you're upset.
171
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:38,619
And you have a right to be.
172
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:40,663
I'm sorry about that.
173
00:09:40,664 --> 00:09:43,165
I want you to feel proud
that you're sharing my name,
174
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:46,252
but it's not for me.
175
00:09:46,253 --> 00:09:47,878
The name is for you.
176
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:49,046
Why?
177
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:50,631
The moment you were born,
178
00:09:50,632 --> 00:09:52,383
I knew that God had given
me a son who was destined
179
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:54,427
for great things.
180
00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:57,514
You should have a name
that reflects that.
181
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:00,266
What am I gonna tell my friends?
182
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:02,435
I can tell
them how special the name is
183
00:10:02,436 --> 00:10:05,314
if that'll help.
184
00:10:07,274 --> 00:10:09,568
Is there a problem?
185
00:10:09,818 --> 00:10:12,154
All my friends are afraid of you.
186
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,865
Well, I guess I
can come across as a bit, uh...
187
00:10:15,866 --> 00:10:17,951
Scary.
188
00:10:40,474 --> 00:10:41,932
Can we get some food?
189
00:10:41,933 --> 00:10:43,434
It's free.
190
00:10:49,024 --> 00:10:52,778
We will never stand in a soup line.
191
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:56,530
We will never accept charity
as long as we have land to
192
00:10:56,531 --> 00:10:58,657
tend to our needs.
193
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,078
Yes, sir.
194
00:11:02,788 --> 00:11:05,290
Do you always believe
the words you preach?
195
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:08,376
I believe in telling people the truth.
196
00:11:08,377 --> 00:11:11,963
No matter what, even if
they don't wanna hear it.
197
00:11:17,094 --> 00:11:21,389
You are my seventh child, hmm.
198
00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:25,267
Now, the number seven
has a magical power.
199
00:11:25,268 --> 00:11:28,229
You will do more and
accomplish more than everyone
200
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:30,231
in that line.
201
00:11:30,232 --> 00:11:34,319
You, you wanna do things
I could only dream of.
202
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:36,987
All right?
203
00:11:36,988 --> 00:11:38,824
Uh-hmm.
204
00:11:40,951 --> 00:11:44,829
♪ Trois plus trois égal á six ♪
205
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:48,834
♪ Quatre plus quatre égal huit ♪
206
00:11:49,126 --> 00:11:53,714
♪ Cinq plus clinq égal dix ♪
207
00:11:55,841 --> 00:11:58,759
Malcolm, do you
know why it is important
208
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,179
to be unafraid?
209
00:12:02,848 --> 00:12:04,098
I think I do.
210
00:12:04,099 --> 00:12:06,893
Not enough to think. Need to know.
211
00:12:09,146 --> 00:12:10,813
Are any of you afraid?
212
00:12:10,814 --> 00:12:11,981
No.
213
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:15,444
No? Not even when I do this!
214
00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:24,452
Education's supposed to be serious!
215
00:12:24,453 --> 00:12:27,998
Earl.
216
00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:54,273
You're living in a Whites only area.
217
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,902
You understand that?
218
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,571
He don't know what
a Whites-only covenant means,
219
00:13:00,572 --> 00:13:01,697
do you, boy?
220
00:13:01,698 --> 00:13:02,907
Don't come to my home and.
221
00:13:02,908 --> 00:13:04,783
I know what it means, boy.
222
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,619
I can defend it in four languages.
223
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,162
In Spanish, it means
224
00:13:08,163 --> 00:13:10,998
significa contrato o arreglo
or sav le di kontra oswa antant
225
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:12,124
in Creole.
226
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,043
Have a good night, hab ah gud evenin.
227
00:13:14,044 --> 00:13:16,087
That’s Patois.
228
00:13:17,172 --> 00:13:18,672
Since you can't control your woman,
229
00:13:18,673 --> 00:13:20,007
maybe we should be
dealing with her from
230
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:22,636
now on instead of you.
231
00:13:33,522 --> 00:13:36,190
Baby, I'm sorry.
232
00:13:36,191 --> 00:13:38,193
Momma!
233
00:13:41,905 --> 00:13:43,865
Malcolm.
234
00:14:21,528 --> 00:14:23,572
Oh, no! Oh, God!
235
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:27,908
Get the children!
236
00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:30,411
Go! Run, run, run!
237
00:14:30,412 --> 00:14:31,913
Babies, go!
238
00:14:32,414 --> 00:14:33,747
Run!
239
00:14:33,748 --> 00:14:36,792
Wilfred! Please. Come. Run, run!
240
00:14:36,793 --> 00:14:38,670
Reginald!
241
00:14:39,296 --> 00:14:40,754
Run out!
242
00:14:40,755 --> 00:14:42,549
Run, run, run.
243
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:44,467
Missy, come, come.
244
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:28,135
Earl?
245
00:15:30,513 --> 00:15:33,933
Don't go out, babe, please.
246
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:37,227
I have seen something bad happening.
247
00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:38,646
I can't pay no attention to
248
00:15:38,647 --> 00:15:40,189
your premonitions, Louise.
249
00:15:40,190 --> 00:15:43,108
I gotta go to town and show
these people I ain't afraid.
250
00:15:43,109 --> 00:15:44,360
But, Earl.
251
00:15:44,361 --> 00:15:50,992
Earl. Earl, please, Earl, please.
252
00:17:13,241 --> 00:17:16,202
I was his favorite
when he was married to my mom.
253
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:24,544
I'm his favorite now.
Was his favorite.
254
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:30,091
I'm Ella Mae, your sister.
255
00:17:31,134 --> 00:17:33,302
You should come visit me.
256
00:17:33,303 --> 00:17:34,970
Where do you live?
257
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:37,264
- Boston.
- Where's that?
258
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:40,018
Not here.
259
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:52,905
And if elected class president,
260
00:17:52,906 --> 00:17:55,407
every Friday I'll bring my
mother's homemade cookies.
261
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:57,452
Thank you.
262
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:00,622
Next.
263
00:18:17,013 --> 00:18:22,268
As class president, I'll make sure,
264
00:18:28,983 --> 00:18:31,652
I'll make sure that
everyone gets a chance to be
265
00:18:31,653 --> 00:18:34,321
in the front of the
line when we go to lunch.
266
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:36,532
I'll create a system where we rotate.
267
00:18:36,533 --> 00:18:39,451
And if we have a test coming up,
268
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:42,037
I'll help organize study groups.
269
00:18:42,038 --> 00:18:44,039
And lastly, if elected,
270
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,999
I'll make sure Arnold
doesn't bring homemade cookies
271
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,253
because last time, they were nasty.
272
00:18:50,547 --> 00:18:52,382
Sorry, Arnold.
273
00:18:53,341 --> 00:18:55,844
All right.
274
00:19:05,019 --> 00:19:07,355
Thank you.
275
00:19:10,233 --> 00:19:15,196
The new seventh-grade class
president is Malcolm Little.
276
00:19:18,575 --> 00:19:21,119
Come on, up, Malcolm.
277
00:19:22,704 --> 00:19:24,663
Congratulations, you
should be very proud.
278
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:26,081
Thank you.
279
00:19:26,082 --> 00:19:27,207
Tell me, what do you wanna be when
280
00:19:27,208 --> 00:19:28,208
you grow up?
281
00:19:28,209 --> 00:19:30,003
A lawyer.
282
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:32,754
No, Malcolm,
you're good with your hands.
283
00:19:32,755 --> 00:19:36,133
Carpenter is a great
job for your people.
284
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:39,679
Obviously, being a lawyer
is no goal for a nigger.
285
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:42,556
All right.
286
00:19:42,557 --> 00:19:45,059
Let's talk about our test
on Friday and your essay.
287
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:53,776
Ella Mae, it's me,
your brother Malcolm.
288
00:19:55,820 --> 00:20:00,116
Listen, I don't know what to do.
289
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,743
They took our home away.
290
00:20:02,744 --> 00:20:04,995
The court rules
you are in violation of the
291
00:20:04,996 --> 00:20:07,372
city's White Only covenant.
292
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:08,790
They took away my mother.
293
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:11,252
No, no, wait, no, no.
294
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:14,631
- Hey!
- Malcolm.
295
00:20:16,174 --> 00:20:18,592
Theres nothing here for me anymore.
296
00:20:18,593 --> 00:20:21,512
You think I could still
come stay with you?
297
00:20:28,061 --> 00:20:32,023
Hmm, go ahead.
298
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:44,827
Go in that candy store
and go buy something.
299
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:47,371
Hey...
300
00:20:47,372 --> 00:20:49,164
And when the cashier
gives you your change,
301
00:20:49,165 --> 00:20:51,876
you tell him you gave him a
$10 bill with your name on it.
302
00:20:53,503 --> 00:20:55,295
But this isn't a $10 bill.
303
00:20:55,296 --> 00:20:57,507
Uh-hmm, trust me.
304
00:21:26,577 --> 00:21:29,413
Something wrong, boy?
305
00:21:29,414 --> 00:21:31,999
I gave you a 10.
306
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,291
You think I can't
tell a difference between
307
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,002
a dollar and a ten?
308
00:21:35,003 --> 00:21:37,754
My mother had me
sign it in case I lost it or,
309
00:21:37,755 --> 00:21:40,174
some dishonest man tried to cheat me.
310
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:42,426
Go ahead and check.
311
00:21:42,427 --> 00:21:44,804
I ain't got time for foolishness.
312
00:21:48,725 --> 00:21:50,559
What's your name?
313
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,604
Malcolm Little.
314
00:22:16,753 --> 00:22:19,464
This is only the beginning.
315
00:22:23,593 --> 00:22:25,469
Hey, you, stop!
316
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:26,803
Hey, hold it right there!
317
00:22:26,804 --> 00:22:27,888
Stop running!
318
00:22:27,889 --> 00:22:29,766
Why didn't you stop?
319
00:22:30,308 --> 00:22:34,520
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, get off him!
320
00:22:34,771 --> 00:22:36,271
Back the hell up, boy!
321
00:22:36,272 --> 00:22:38,690
Sorry, officer, sorry.
He don't know no better.
322
00:22:38,691 --> 00:22:40,484
I don't know no better?
323
00:22:40,485 --> 00:22:42,277
What the hell were you thinking?
324
00:22:42,278 --> 00:22:43,612
I got all this stuff on me!
325
00:22:43,613 --> 00:22:45,072
You risked us both getting busted!
326
00:22:45,073 --> 00:22:46,323
So I'm supposed
to pretend like I don't see
327
00:22:46,324 --> 00:22:47,532
what I saw?
328
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:48,825
It wasn't right!
329
00:22:48,826 --> 00:22:50,077
And your skinny little black ass is
330
00:22:50,078 --> 00:22:51,161
gonna make it right?
331
00:22:51,162 --> 00:22:52,412
I'm not afraid of them.
332
00:22:52,413 --> 00:22:53,955
Our daddy took on the Klan.
333
00:22:53,956 --> 00:22:55,749
And where did that get him?
334
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:57,542
These people up here don't
need sheets and hoods!
335
00:22:57,543 --> 00:23:00,755
You wanna be like our
daddy or you wanna be alive?
336
00:23:02,131 --> 00:23:03,590
You're a smart kid Malcolm,
337
00:23:03,591 --> 00:23:05,175
but you need to learn something.
338
00:23:05,176 --> 00:23:06,885
There's only two kinds
of people in this world.
339
00:23:06,886 --> 00:23:10,430
Those who hustle and
those who get hustled.
340
00:23:10,431 --> 00:23:13,226
The sooner you realize
that the better.
341
00:23:28,866 --> 00:23:31,410
Woo, my man, Red.
342
00:23:35,123 --> 00:23:36,456
Smooth.
343
00:23:36,457 --> 00:23:38,251
Yes, sir.
344
00:23:54,892 --> 00:23:56,184
Hey, Red.
345
00:23:56,185 --> 00:23:58,980
What you think about this hat, man?
346
00:24:03,401 --> 00:24:06,027
Oh, yes, sir.
347
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:07,696
- Uh-hmm.
- Yes, sir.
348
00:24:07,697 --> 00:24:09,532
What you think?
349
00:24:12,827 --> 00:24:14,954
- You like it?
- Come on.
350
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:18,416
Next time, huh?
351
00:24:23,171 --> 00:24:24,463
He looking right at us.
352
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:26,799
I think it's time to go.
353
00:24:43,316 --> 00:24:46,486
Watch that baby shine in the light.
354
00:24:47,069 --> 00:24:49,113
That's real deal gold.
355
00:24:50,990 --> 00:24:53,451
Hey, man, we can do better than this.
356
00:24:56,829 --> 00:24:58,497
- Better?
- Yeah.
357
00:24:58,498 --> 00:25:01,876
I've been casin' this mansion
just outside the city.
358
00:25:03,461 --> 00:25:05,921
Rich White folks that
live there are never home,
359
00:25:05,922 --> 00:25:07,339
it's easy money.
360
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:09,883
Easy get a lot of people killed.
361
00:25:09,884 --> 00:25:12,761
'Sides, you keep goin'
against these White folks,
362
00:25:12,762 --> 00:25:14,554
you're gonna get hurt.
363
00:25:14,555 --> 00:25:16,973
White folks can't
do a damn thing to hurt me more
364
00:25:16,974 --> 00:25:19,685
than they already have.
365
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,024
Red, you fly too close to the sun.
366
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:28,068
You don't need to join us.
367
00:25:28,069 --> 00:25:29,903
I'm just tellin' you as a friend.
368
00:25:29,904 --> 00:25:32,490
This feels like a mistake.
369
00:25:35,284 --> 00:25:39,247
And I'm telling
you I don't need no friends.
370
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:42,999
You're either a hustler
or you're getting hustled.
371
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,502
Least I figured out which one I am.
372
00:25:45,503 --> 00:25:48,839
Can you say the same?
373
00:26:08,526 --> 00:26:10,235
Let's go!
374
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:42,976
Martin, your
father and I are attending a
375
00:26:42,977 --> 00:26:44,728
fundraiser at Spelman.
376
00:26:44,729 --> 00:26:47,564
We need you to help momma
set up the Woman's Day event
377
00:26:47,565 --> 00:26:49,900
at Mount Olive Church today.
378
00:26:50,651 --> 00:26:53,320
But today's the last day of the fair.
379
00:26:53,321 --> 00:26:54,863
Everyone will be there.
380
00:26:54,864 --> 00:26:58,951
Family comes first.
Now you do as we tell you.
381
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,277
All right folks, step right in.
382
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:06,394
Yeah!
383
00:28:32,128 --> 00:28:34,797
Momma.
384
00:29:32,563 --> 00:29:33,855
ML?
385
00:29:33,856 --> 00:29:35,273
- What was that?
- What?
386
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:38,110
KING SR. Martin? ALBERTA: ML?
387
00:29:38,944 --> 00:29:40,695
- Oh, no.
- Oh, God, Martin!
388
00:29:40,696 --> 00:29:42,155
No, no, no, no, no, no, Martin.
389
00:29:42,156 --> 00:29:43,323
Martin, no.
390
00:29:43,324 --> 00:29:44,699
Martin.
391
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:45,700
Son.
392
00:29:45,701 --> 00:29:46,826
Son, can you hear me?
393
00:29:46,827 --> 00:29:48,328
Is he okay?
394
00:29:48,329 --> 00:29:49,621
- We need an ambulance.
- Is he breathing?
395
00:29:49,622 --> 00:29:50,955
Alberta, get an ambulance.
396
00:29:50,956 --> 00:29:52,248
Please call an ambulance.
397
00:29:52,249 --> 00:29:54,125
Yes, yes, yes.
398
00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:56,002
Martin? Martin, look at me.
399
00:29:56,003 --> 00:29:57,713
Oh, Lord.
400
00:30:07,598 --> 00:30:10,183
Your son's extremely fortunate.
401
00:30:10,184 --> 00:30:11,851
Then he's going to be all right?
402
00:30:11,852 --> 00:30:13,811
From any physical injuries.
403
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,272
But a suicide attempt is a warning.
404
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:17,815
I can refer you to someone who.
405
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:19,776
No, thank you, doctor.
406
00:30:19,777 --> 00:30:23,572
But our son is quite strong,
and he just needs rest.
407
00:30:31,372 --> 00:30:34,208
What does the Constitution mean to me?
408
00:30:35,292 --> 00:30:40,380
A 15-year-old Negro who
in my brief life has known
409
00:30:40,381 --> 00:30:44,802
the heartache of being denied
the tranquility once promised.
410
00:30:46,887 --> 00:30:51,015
What does it mean to my father
who prays with his congregation
411
00:30:51,016 --> 00:30:54,728
so that justice may be
established for all one day?
412
00:31:02,152 --> 00:31:05,656
What did it mean to my grandmother...
413
00:31:16,250 --> 00:31:20,044
Who in her entire
life never secured the
414
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:22,338
blessings of liberty,
415
00:31:22,339 --> 00:31:24,048
and yet taught me
that a more perfect union
416
00:31:24,049 --> 00:31:27,720
was still possible?
417
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:31,556
My heart soars beyond the
clouds with the promise of hope,
418
00:31:31,557 --> 00:31:33,349
encouraged by the lessons of Lincoln,
419
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:35,226
and inspired by the word of God,
420
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:37,895
that this country shall one
day tear down the final wall
421
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:39,731
to perfect freedom.
422
00:31:39,732 --> 00:31:42,066
And I, standing aside my brothers,
423
00:31:42,067 --> 00:31:44,569
finally claiming my
rightful lineage and
424
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:47,655
keeping my head high,
may march alongside the Saxon,
425
00:31:47,656 --> 00:31:51,367
a Negro, and still a man!
426
00:31:51,368 --> 00:31:53,245
Yes.
427
00:32:05,883 --> 00:32:09,469
It'll always be
a reminder of this special day.
428
00:32:09,470 --> 00:32:12,097
You should be very proud, Martin.
429
00:32:13,140 --> 00:32:14,974
Thank you, Miss Bradley.
430
00:32:14,975 --> 00:32:17,645
I'll keep it in a special place.
431
00:32:27,529 --> 00:32:30,032
You two need to give up your seats.
432
00:32:33,327 --> 00:32:36,121
We were here first.
433
00:32:36,914 --> 00:32:39,707
Miss Bradley, you
know this isn't right.
434
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:42,502
I'm not getting up.
435
00:32:42,503 --> 00:32:45,421
Martin, we have to obey the law.
436
00:32:45,422 --> 00:32:47,215
We have no choice.
437
00:32:47,216 --> 00:32:49,300
Do as he says.
438
00:32:49,301 --> 00:32:51,094
At least allow my teacher to sit.
439
00:32:51,095 --> 00:32:52,720
She ain't no different than you or any
440
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:54,472
other colored person.
441
00:32:54,473 --> 00:32:56,974
You two can get up or
you can get off my bus and
442
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:59,602
walk the 90 miles back to Atlanta.
443
00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:02,313
Sir, we'll do as you ask.
444
00:33:02,314 --> 00:33:05,401
It's all right, Martin.
445
00:33:22,459 --> 00:33:24,836
_
446
00:33:26,672 --> 00:33:28,423
When is this meeting going to start?
447
00:33:28,424 --> 00:33:30,968
I'm giving him two more minutes.
448
00:33:32,761 --> 00:33:34,762
Damn.
449
00:33:34,763 --> 00:33:38,100
Ooh, maybe a few more
minutes won't hurt.
450
00:33:39,643 --> 00:33:41,060
Crank y'all's
neck any harder and you'll
451
00:33:41,061 --> 00:33:42,687
need to see a doctor.
452
00:33:42,688 --> 00:33:45,649
Oh. Our Royal Majesty has arrived.
453
00:33:46,066 --> 00:33:48,693
Everyone please, please,
a round of applause.
454
00:33:48,694 --> 00:33:50,487
Please.
455
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:56,659
Why are you always
starting something, W.T.?
456
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:59,162
I'm not starting nothin',
other than this meeting we have.
457
00:33:59,163 --> 00:34:00,329
Hmm.
458
00:34:00,330 --> 00:34:01,415
Which shoulda
started five minutes ago.
459
00:34:01,416 --> 00:34:02,749
Shut up.
460
00:34:02,750 --> 00:34:04,084
Oooh.
461
00:34:07,713 --> 00:34:11,632
So I propose
we formalize our group and
462
00:34:11,633 --> 00:34:14,887
call ourselves the
Dialectical Society.
463
00:34:15,179 --> 00:34:18,848
Our purpose will be to analyze
and debate philosophical and
464
00:34:18,849 --> 00:34:22,059
theological ideas as they
relate to our situation in the
465
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:23,394
United States.
466
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:25,438
It's just us.
467
00:34:25,439 --> 00:34:26,856
Why you trying to be all formal?
468
00:34:26,857 --> 00:34:29,484
We know the real reason
you created this group.
469
00:34:29,485 --> 00:34:33,989
So you can get more women.
470
00:34:34,323 --> 00:34:36,157
Can we return
to resolving the problems
471
00:34:36,158 --> 00:34:37,700
of the world,
472
00:34:37,701 --> 00:34:39,952
philosophically, socially,
and in the theological realm?
473
00:34:39,953 --> 00:34:41,496
Hmm?
474
00:34:41,497 --> 00:34:42,789
And for your information,
475
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:46,417
I don't need to organize
this group to get women.
476
00:35:00,974 --> 00:35:03,142
You sound like an angel.
477
00:35:03,143 --> 00:35:06,355
Angels don't have
to try so hard to stay on key.
478
00:35:06,688 --> 00:35:08,314
You remember the theology student I
479
00:35:08,315 --> 00:35:09,857
told you about?
480
00:35:09,858 --> 00:35:12,694
The one you told me
about five times or was it six?
481
00:35:12,945 --> 00:35:15,154
Well, he's making
quite a name for himself as
482
00:35:15,155 --> 00:35:17,865
one of the most eligible
bachelors in Boston.
483
00:35:17,866 --> 00:35:19,492
They say when he gives a sermon,
484
00:35:19,493 --> 00:35:22,078
the whole chapel shakes
from floor to ceiling.
485
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:24,915
Well, that is a
sign that God's not happy.
486
00:35:26,083 --> 00:35:28,334
Well, you probably won't be either.
487
00:35:28,335 --> 00:35:30,628
I slipped him your telephone
number and he wants to
488
00:35:30,629 --> 00:35:32,088
see you tonight.
489
00:35:32,089 --> 00:35:33,298
Girl.
490
00:35:42,474 --> 00:35:43,850
When we spoke on the phone,
491
00:35:43,851 --> 00:35:47,896
I hadn't imagined you to be so young.
492
00:35:51,942 --> 00:35:54,151
How are your doctoral studies coming?
493
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,153
Well, my dissertation is on the
494
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,281
Comparisons of the Conceptions of God
495
00:35:58,282 --> 00:36:00,992
in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and
496
00:36:00,993 --> 00:36:02,285
Henry Nelson Wieman.
497
00:36:02,286 --> 00:36:03,744
That's a fascinating subject.
498
00:36:03,745 --> 00:36:05,663
I imagine it would be.
499
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:08,583
Didn't they both deny the
personality of God as well as
500
00:36:08,584 --> 00:36:11,295
the possibility of
personal knowledge of him?
501
00:36:14,006 --> 00:36:16,591
And I was under
the impression that you were
502
00:36:16,592 --> 00:36:18,759
studying music.
503
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,303
How did you become so.
504
00:36:20,304 --> 00:36:22,221
Intelligent for a woman?
505
00:36:22,222 --> 00:36:25,601
Oh, no, I didn't, I didn't mean that.
506
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:28,394
How's your steak?
507
00:36:28,395 --> 00:36:31,190
What's wrong? You don't like it?
508
00:36:32,941 --> 00:36:36,903
If anyone ever
doubted the existence of God,
509
00:36:36,904 --> 00:36:39,697
they need only to look at you.
510
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:43,242
All such beauty could not be
the result of an accident.
511
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:48,081
And well, that smile could
never be left to mere chance.
512
00:36:48,415 --> 00:36:50,625
Oh, my!
513
00:36:50,626 --> 00:36:53,253
Have you used that line before?
514
00:36:55,714 --> 00:36:59,593
- Many times.
- And has it worked?
515
00:36:59,843 --> 00:37:01,344
Always.
516
00:37:01,345 --> 00:37:06,183
But I've never wanted it to
work as much as I do now.
517
00:37:10,479 --> 00:37:15,399
I think you should know that
I'm a man who doesn't need
518
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,277
a lot of time to know what he wants.
519
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:23,866
And you have everything I
have ever wanted in a wife.
520
00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:24,951
A wife?
521
00:37:24,952 --> 00:37:26,243
Yes.
522
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:29,705
There are four things I
require in a wife,
523
00:37:29,706 --> 00:37:32,875
character, personality,
524
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:36,964
intelligence, and beauty.
525
00:37:38,715 --> 00:37:41,927
You have them all.
526
00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:44,428
Martin, I'm flattered,
527
00:37:44,429 --> 00:37:47,599
but I'm not looking for a husband.
528
00:37:47,975 --> 00:37:51,645
I have my studies to consider,
my singing,
529
00:37:51,937 --> 00:37:53,938
and working to one day perform at the
530
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:55,564
Metropolitan Opera House.
531
00:37:55,565 --> 00:37:56,565
And I'll be right there,
532
00:37:56,566 --> 00:37:59,944
cheering you on.
533
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:02,613
You're looking at a man on mission.
534
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:05,658
And it starts with seeing you again.
535
00:38:05,659 --> 00:38:08,786
You're too young to be in such a rush.
536
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:10,287
I think God would
forgive you for taking a
537
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:12,581
break every now and then.
538
00:38:12,582 --> 00:38:17,254
You know, there was
a time after my grandmother's
539
00:38:17,713 --> 00:38:22,551
death when God and I were
not on the best of terms.
540
00:38:25,554 --> 00:38:27,639
And are you now?
541
00:38:29,057 --> 00:38:31,100
How could I
not believe or want to be in
542
00:38:31,101 --> 00:38:34,688
His Good Grace?
543
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:39,985
But I know I'll never stop
questioning my duty to God.
544
00:38:40,694 --> 00:38:44,822
Suppose that makes me
a work in progress.
545
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:48,159
Well, Martin King,
546
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,456
I believe you're going to do
great things in God's world.
547
00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:40,419
The other night,
momma's favorite song,
548
00:39:40,420 --> 00:39:43,340
"Ain't Misbehavin'"
was playing on the radio.
549
00:39:44,091 --> 00:39:46,425
You remember when Daddy
and Momma were dancing
550
00:39:46,426 --> 00:39:47,927
to that song,
551
00:39:47,928 --> 00:39:50,347
and she begged him not to sing?
552
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:51,889
And he said.
553
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:54,141
"But Louise, you love my singin'."
554
00:39:54,142 --> 00:39:57,812
And she said, "Earl, I love it...
555
00:39:57,813 --> 00:40:00,023
"When you stop."
556
00:40:03,402 --> 00:40:05,486
You should write to everyone.
557
00:40:05,487 --> 00:40:08,365
I know they'd love to hear from you.
558
00:40:10,617 --> 00:40:11,784
You know what they called me when I
559
00:40:11,785 --> 00:40:14,538
first got here?
560
00:40:16,123 --> 00:40:18,125
Satan.
561
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:20,543
They thought I didn't
believe in anything.
562
00:40:20,544 --> 00:40:21,836
No.
563
00:40:21,837 --> 00:40:24,588
There's always
something worth believing in.
564
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:26,674
Our parents taught us that.
565
00:40:26,675 --> 00:40:30,761
And no one is going to
judge you, Malcolm,
566
00:40:30,762 --> 00:40:33,097
especially family.
567
00:40:33,098 --> 00:40:35,683
I hurt a lot of people.
568
00:40:35,684 --> 00:40:38,353
I can't even remember them all.
569
00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:42,232
I don't even know what
it is I was looking for.
570
00:40:43,608 --> 00:40:47,404
I've joined the Nation of Islam.
571
00:40:47,654 --> 00:40:52,159
So have Wilfred and
Philbert, most of the family,
572
00:40:52,868 --> 00:40:55,202
even Ella Mae.
573
00:40:55,203 --> 00:40:59,248
There's this messenger, the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
574
00:40:59,249 --> 00:41:01,125
who leads us.
575
00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:05,589
He reminds me of our father
and believes in self-reliance,
576
00:41:05,881 --> 00:41:09,342
and self-esteem that
empowers black people.
577
00:41:11,136 --> 00:41:13,680
And you believe him?
578
00:41:14,014 --> 00:41:16,474
Some of it.
579
00:41:16,892 --> 00:41:21,813
But he has the same power
as Daddy, can make you listen,
580
00:41:23,315 --> 00:41:26,401
can make you change.
581
00:41:26,776 --> 00:41:31,990
Maybe he can help
you find whatever it was
582
00:41:32,657 --> 00:41:35,494
you're looking for.
583
00:41:36,995 --> 00:41:38,329
I doubt it.
584
00:41:38,330 --> 00:41:41,082
Give it a chance, please.
585
00:41:42,459 --> 00:41:44,710
As-Salaam-Alaikum, Malcolm.
586
00:41:44,711 --> 00:41:46,045
What the hell does that mean?
587
00:41:46,046 --> 00:41:48,882
You'll know in time.
588
00:43:52,797 --> 00:43:54,883
You got me!
589
00:44:33,588 --> 00:44:37,634
"And those who
believe and do righteous deeds,
590
00:44:38,385 --> 00:44:41,679
we will surely remove
from them their misdeeds,
591
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,098
will surely reward them
according to the best of what
592
00:44:44,099 --> 00:44:46,101
they used to do."
593
00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:55,025
Dearest Malcolm,
594
00:44:55,026 --> 00:44:57,236
Brother Reginald
has regaled me with stories of
595
00:44:57,237 --> 00:45:01,073
your education while in
prison and I want you to know
596
00:45:01,074 --> 00:45:03,992
I admire your thirst
for the true knowledge of the
597
00:45:03,993 --> 00:45:06,203
Black man through Islam.
598
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:08,914
We are Kings,
ordained by Allah himself.
599
00:45:08,915 --> 00:45:10,707
We are not prisoners.
600
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:13,877
The Black prisoner has
symbolized White society's
601
00:45:13,878 --> 00:45:18,006
crime of keeping Black men
oppressed and ignorant.
602
00:45:18,007 --> 00:45:20,300
To defeat this, we will need courage,
603
00:45:20,301 --> 00:45:22,469
courage you are showing now.
604
00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:25,973
The Nation of Islam teaches
our people the true knowledge
605
00:45:25,974 --> 00:45:27,933
of who we are.
606
00:45:27,934 --> 00:45:30,769
It is then and only then,
607
00:45:30,770 --> 00:45:34,857
the Negro in America
shall understand themselves and
608
00:45:34,858 --> 00:45:36,817
the world they inhabit.
609
00:45:36,818 --> 00:45:41,238
For it is he who is not aware
in the knowledge of self,
610
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,992
that is the true prisoner.
611
00:45:45,618 --> 00:45:47,454
No wonder you need these.
612
00:45:51,082 --> 00:45:53,168
What you readin' all
this stuff for anyway?
613
00:45:54,335 --> 00:45:56,086
Prison debate
team is going up against some
614
00:45:56,087 --> 00:45:58,464
Ivy League students.
615
00:45:58,465 --> 00:46:00,132
Need to prepare.
616
00:46:00,133 --> 00:46:02,634
You know, you should put
some money in us to win.
617
00:46:02,635 --> 00:46:04,303
You couldn't debate my ass.
618
00:46:04,304 --> 00:46:07,432
And debatin' ain't gonna
get you out of here.
619
00:46:11,102 --> 00:46:15,190
You ever consider
maybe you're the one in prison?
620
00:46:23,323 --> 00:46:25,532
The mere threat of imprisonment is not
621
00:46:25,533 --> 00:46:27,409
a sufficient restraint.
622
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:32,247
However, the death penalty is
a uniquely potent deterrent for
623
00:46:32,248 --> 00:46:34,667
potentially violent offenders.
624
00:46:50,850 --> 00:46:55,980
Our distinguished
friends on the other side
625
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:03,947
surely realize that our team
consists of the downtrodden,
626
00:47:04,697 --> 00:47:09,160
comprised of mere grade
school and junior high dropouts.
627
00:47:09,744 --> 00:47:14,081
And yet, we have managed
to remain undefeated
628
00:47:14,082 --> 00:47:16,375
for six straight years.
629
00:47:16,376 --> 00:47:19,420
Yes, yes. Right.
630
00:47:21,005 --> 00:47:26,177
Now, I raise
this to point out that as long
631
00:47:26,970 --> 00:47:29,389
as there is breath, there is hope.
632
00:47:29,806 --> 00:47:30,973
Yes.
633
00:47:30,974 --> 00:47:32,724
Even for the most despised.
634
00:47:32,725 --> 00:47:34,476
Yes. Yeah, that's right.
635
00:47:34,477 --> 00:47:37,646
Deterrence from mandatory death,
636
00:47:37,647 --> 00:47:40,817
when a White person
murders a Black one,
637
00:47:42,068 --> 00:47:43,986
has never been
explored in this country.
638
00:47:43,987 --> 00:47:45,571
No.
639
00:47:45,572 --> 00:47:49,408
Race disparities in
capital punishment are evident
640
00:47:49,409 --> 00:47:54,247
for there have been several
Black lives extinguished when
641
00:47:54,581 --> 00:47:57,457
convicted of murdering White people.
642
00:47:57,458 --> 00:47:59,919
Yes.
643
00:48:00,545 --> 00:48:05,173
So the assumption
that an immoral system can then
644
00:48:05,174 --> 00:48:08,636
lead the way in instituting
justice is preposterous.
645
00:48:09,095 --> 00:48:10,470
Right.
646
00:48:10,471 --> 00:48:12,723
No, sir. No, sir.
You out of your mind!
647
00:48:12,724 --> 00:48:14,308
Heck, no.
648
00:48:14,309 --> 00:48:18,061
Instituting a fair
and just process would require
649
00:48:18,062 --> 00:48:20,815
almost perfect detective forces,
650
00:48:21,232 --> 00:48:23,776
incorruptible police, and judiciary,
651
00:48:24,152 --> 00:48:28,072
juries unswayed by
human emotion and prejudice.
652
00:48:28,323 --> 00:48:30,824
And a stern, un-pardoning.
653
00:48:30,825 --> 00:48:32,159
Yeah.
654
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,161
Policy regardless of race, influence,
655
00:48:34,162 --> 00:48:35,537
or station in life.
656
00:48:35,538 --> 00:48:37,540
Yes, yes, yes.
657
00:48:39,584 --> 00:48:44,505
Now, should these
impossible conditions be met,
658
00:48:45,673 --> 00:48:49,886
they would result in such a
large number of executions that
659
00:48:50,178 --> 00:48:53,973
the defenders of the death
penalty would stand aghast.
660
00:48:54,515 --> 00:48:56,183
Yes.
661
00:48:56,184 --> 00:48:57,768
Sure would.
662
00:48:57,769 --> 00:49:04,649
I imagine even our
Princeton guests would become
663
00:49:04,650 --> 00:49:06,611
pale from the experience.
664
00:49:20,541 --> 00:49:21,960
Malcolm! Malcolm!
665
00:49:22,543 --> 00:49:24,545
Malcolm! Malcolm!
666
00:49:25,213 --> 00:49:27,382
Malcolm! Malcolm!
667
00:49:27,966 --> 00:49:30,385
Malcolm! Malcolm!
668
00:49:32,637 --> 00:49:35,346
I remember being
forced to ride the back of a
669
00:49:35,347 --> 00:49:37,684
bus so a White passenger could sit.
670
00:49:41,104 --> 00:49:46,109
Feeling the stares of
contempt from men and women
671
00:49:46,609 --> 00:49:49,862
who claimed to be Christians.
672
00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:53,824
But there's no basis
in the Constitution or in
673
00:49:53,825 --> 00:49:56,910
the Bible for treating
Negroes less human
674
00:49:56,911 --> 00:49:58,746
than anyone else.
675
00:49:59,372 --> 00:50:01,039
Laws that separate and divide us are
676
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,499
not only unjust,
677
00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:06,086
they are immoral and change
undoubtedly has to come.
678
00:50:06,087 --> 00:50:07,713
The way I see it though,
679
00:50:07,714 --> 00:50:11,801
the most important component
we must all have is patience.
680
00:50:16,264 --> 00:50:18,307
Patience?
681
00:50:24,522 --> 00:50:30,194
Patience is something Negroes
in this country do not have.
682
00:50:41,831 --> 00:50:43,665
Dear Holy Apostle,
683
00:50:43,666 --> 00:50:46,376
it took you to teach me
that I was in prison long before
684
00:50:46,377 --> 00:50:49,379
the iron gates closed on my life.
685
00:50:49,380 --> 00:50:51,089
When those gates finally open,
686
00:50:51,090 --> 00:50:53,842
my freedom won't come
because of my release.
687
00:50:53,843 --> 00:50:56,804
It'll come because of the
gift you've given to me.
688
00:50:57,054 --> 00:51:01,600
"A gift I will
cherish with my life and
689
00:51:01,601 --> 00:51:04,228
my devotion to you.
690
00:51:05,062 --> 00:51:10,192
There will be no sacrifice
too great for me to make
691
00:51:10,193 --> 00:51:12,278
in your service.
692
00:51:12,737 --> 00:51:16,449
Thank you for helping
me find my purpose."
693
00:51:21,204 --> 00:51:22,704
Dear Father,
694
00:51:22,705 --> 00:51:25,040
as I considered the
science behind the human race,
695
00:51:25,041 --> 00:51:28,502
I began to see how our
destructive nature causes us
696
00:51:28,503 --> 00:51:30,379
to justify our impulses.
697
00:51:30,671 --> 00:51:33,423
As I considered the flaws
of history and how a man's
698
00:51:33,424 --> 00:51:36,176
disposition can be devastating,
699
00:51:36,177 --> 00:51:38,970
I began to see the
deepest corners of fault
700
00:51:38,971 --> 00:51:40,723
and error in our impulses.
701
00:51:41,432 --> 00:51:45,060
"I came close to
losing my faith more than once.
702
00:51:45,061 --> 00:51:48,230
Doubting how God
could allow so much pain,
703
00:51:48,231 --> 00:51:50,690
destruction, and evil.
704
00:51:50,691 --> 00:51:52,734
But as you've told me many times,
705
00:51:52,735 --> 00:51:55,111
God tests before he rewards,
706
00:51:55,112 --> 00:51:58,241
and faith is never a convenient thing.
707
00:51:59,242 --> 00:52:04,079
So I go out to this world
still uncertain and alone,
708
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:08,209
but willing to give my life
for a cause greater than myself.
709
00:52:08,876 --> 00:52:10,460
And like Abraham,
710
00:52:10,461 --> 00:52:14,089
willing to make whatever
sacrifice is required
711
00:52:14,090 --> 00:52:16,759
in service to God.
712
00:52:18,261 --> 00:52:20,680
Your son, ML."
713
00:53:29,081 --> 00:53:31,458
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
714
00:53:31,459 --> 00:53:33,669
Wa-Alaikum-Salaam.
