00:34:25,438 --> 00:34:26,773
Why you trying to be all formal?
522
00:34:26,856 --> 00:34:29,400
We know the real reason
you created this group.
523
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:34,030
So you can get more women.
524
00:34:34,363 --> 00:34:36,074
[King Jr.] Can we return
to resolving the problems
525
00:34:36,157 --> 00:34:37,575
of the world,
526
00:34:37,658 --> 00:34:39,869
philosophically, socially,
and in the theological realm?
527
00:34:39,952 --> 00:34:41,412
Hmm?
528
00:34:41,496 --> 00:34:42,663
And for your information,
529
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:46,375
I don't need to organize
this group to get women.
530
00:34:46,459 --> 00:34:48,961
[group scoffs and laughs]
531
00:34:49,962 --> 00:34:56,177
[operatic vocalization]
532
00:35:01,057 --> 00:35:03,101
[Powell] You sound like an angel.
533
00:35:03,184 --> 00:35:06,437
[Coretta] Angels don't have
to try so hard to stay on key.
534
00:35:06,729 --> 00:35:08,231
[Powell] You remember
the theology student I
535
00:35:08,314 --> 00:35:09,732
told you about?
536
00:35:09,816 --> 00:35:12,735
[Coretta] The one you told me
about five times or was it six?
537
00:35:12,985 --> 00:35:15,071
[Powell] Well, he's making
quite a name for himself as
538
00:35:15,154 --> 00:35:17,782
one of the most eligible
bachelors in Boston.
539
00:35:17,865 --> 00:35:19,408
They say when he gives a sermon,
540
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:21,994
the whole chapel shakes
from floor to ceiling.
541
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:24,956
[Coretta] Well, that is a
sign that God's not happy.
542
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,292
[Powell] Well, you
probably won't be either.
543
00:35:28,376 --> 00:35:30,586
I slipped him your telephone
number and he wants to
544
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:32,046
see you tonight.
545
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:33,381
[Coretta] Girl.
546
00:35:42,557 --> 00:35:43,808
When we spoke on the phone,
547
00:35:43,891 --> 00:35:47,937
I hadn't imagined
you to be so young.
548
00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:54,068
How are your doctoral
studies coming?
549
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,070
[King Jr.] Well, my
dissertation is on the
550
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,197
Comparisons of
the Conceptions of God
551
00:35:58,281 --> 00:36:00,908
in the Thinking
of Paul Tillich and
552
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:02,201
Henry Nelson Wieman.
553
00:36:02,285 --> 00:36:03,661
That's a fascinating subject.
554
00:36:03,744 --> 00:36:05,580
[Coretta] I imagine it would be.
555
00:36:05,663 --> 00:36:08,541
Didn't they both deny the
personality of God as well as
556
00:36:08,624 --> 00:36:11,377
the possibility of
personal knowledge of him?
557
00:36:14,088 --> 00:36:16,549
[King Jr.] And I was under
the impression that you were
558
00:36:16,632 --> 00:36:18,718
studying music.
559
00:36:18,801 --> 00:36:20,261
How did you become so.
560
00:36:20,344 --> 00:36:22,180
[Coretta] Intelligent
for a woman?
561
00:36:22,263 --> 00:36:25,683
[King Jr.] Oh, no, I didn't,
I didn't mean that.
562
00:36:26,601 --> 00:36:28,352
[Coretta] How's your steak?
563
00:36:28,436 --> 00:36:31,230
What's wrong?
You don't like it?
564
00:36:32,982 --> 00:36:36,819
[King Jr.] If anyone ever
doubted the existence of God,
565
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:39,614
they need only to look at you.
566
00:36:39,697 --> 00:36:43,159
All such beauty could not be
the result of an accident.
567
00:36:43,242 --> 00:36:48,122
And well, that smile could
never be left to mere chance.
568
00:36:48,456 --> 00:36:50,583
[Coretta] Oh, my!
569
00:36:50,666 --> 00:36:53,336
Have you used that line before?
570
00:36:55,796 --> 00:36:59,675
[King Jr.] Many times.
[Coretta] And has it worked?
571
00:36:59,926 --> 00:37:00,927
[King Jr.] Always.
572
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:04,388
But I've never wanted it to
work as much as I do now.
573
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:15,316
I think you should know that
I'm a man who doesn't need
574
00:37:15,399 --> 00:37:17,318
a lot of time to
know what he wants.
575
00:37:20,279 --> 00:37:23,783
And you have everything I
have ever wanted in a wife.
576
00:37:23,866 --> 00:37:24,867
[Coretta] A wife?
577
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:26,160
[King Jr.] Yes.
578
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:29,622
There are four things I
require in a wife,
579
00:37:29,705 --> 00:37:32,833
character, personality,
580
00:37:32,917 --> 00:37:37,964
intelligence, and beauty.
581
00:37:38,798 --> 00:37:40,675
You have them all.
582
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:44,387
[Coretta] Martin, I'm flattered,
583
00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:47,682
but I'm not looking
for a husband.
584
00:37:48,057 --> 00:37:51,727
I have my studies to consider,
my singing,
585
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:53,854
and working to one day
perform at the
586
00:37:53,938 --> 00:37:55,481
Metropolitan Opera House.
587
00:37:55,564 --> 00:37:56,607
[King Jr.] And
I'll be right there,
588
00:37:56,691 --> 00:37:59,860
cheering you on.
589
00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:02,530
You're looking at
a man on mission.
590
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:05,574
And it starts with
seeing you again.
591
00:38:05,658 --> 00:38:08,703
[Coretta] You're too young
to be in such a rush.
592
00:38:08,786 --> 00:38:10,204
I think God would
forgive you for taking a
593
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:12,498
break every now and then.
594
00:38:12,581 --> 00:38:18,879
[King Jr.] You know, there was
a time after my grandmother's death
595
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:23,718
when God and I were
not on the best of terms.
596
00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:27,722
[Coretta] And are you now?
597
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:31,058
[King Jr.] How could I
not believe or want to be in
598
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:33,144
His Good Grace?
599
00:38:35,062 --> 00:38:38,941
But I know I'll never stop
questioning my duty to God.
600
00:38:40,735 --> 00:38:44,739
Suppose that makes me
a work in progress.
601
00:38:44,822 --> 00:38:48,075
[Coretta] Well, Martin King,
602
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:51,871

great things in God's world.

"Ain't Misbehavin'"
was playing on the radio.
607
00:39:44,173 --> 00:39:46,384
You remember when Daddy
and Momma were dancing
608
00:39:46,467 --> 00:39:47,885
to that song,
609
00:39:47,968 --> 00:39:50,429
and she begged him not to sing?
610
00:39:50,679 --> 00:39:51,847
And he said.
611

[Malcolm] "But Louise,
you love my singin'."
612
00:39:54,183 --> 00:39:57,770

first got here?
618
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,456
Satan.
619
00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:20,501
They thought I didn't
believe in anything.
620
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:21,752
[Reginald] No.
621
00:40:21,836 --> 00:40:24,547
There's always
something worth believing in.
622
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:26,632
Our parents taught us that.
623
00:40:26,715 --> 00:40:30,719
And no one is going to
judge you, Malcolm,
624
00:40:30,803 --> 00:40:33,055
especially family.
625
00:40:33,139 --> 00:40:35,641
[Malcolm] I hurt
a lot of people.
626
00:40:35,724 --> 00:40:38,436
I can't even remember them all.
627
00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:42,273
I don't even know what
it is I was looking for.
628
00:40:43,649 --> 00:40:47,445
[Reginald] I've joined
the Nation of Islam.
629
00:40:47,695 --> 00:40:52,825
So have Wilfred and
Philbert, most of the family,
630
00:40:52,908 --> 00:40:55,119
even Ella Mae.
631
00:40:55,202 --> 00:40:59,165
There's this messenger, the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
632
00:40:59,248 --> 00:41:01,083
who leads us.
633
00:41:01,167 --> 00:41:05,671
He reminds me of our father
and believes in self-reliance,
634
00:41:05,963 --> 00:41:09,425
and self-esteem that
empowers black people.
635
00:41:11,218 --> 00:41:13,762
[Malcolm] And you believe him?
636
00:41:14,096 --> 00:41:16,557
[Reginald] Some of it.
637
00:41:16,974 --> 00:41:21,854
But he has the same power
as Daddy, can make you listen,
638
00:41:23,355 --> 00:41:25,608
can make you change.
639
00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:32,406
Maybe he can help
you find whatever it was
640
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:33,949
you're looking for.
641
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:38,245

[Muhammad] Dearest Malcolm,
676
00:44:55,025 --> 00:44:57,152
Brother Reginald
has regaled me with stories of
677
00:44:57,236 --> 00:45:00,989
your education while in
prison and I want you to know
678
00:45:01,073 --> 00:45:03,909
I admire your thirst
for the true knowledge of the
679
00:45:03,992 --> 00:45:06,120
Black man through Islam.
680
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:08,831
We are Kings,
ordained by Allah himself.
681
00:45:08,914 --> 00:45:10,624
We are not prisoners.
682
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:13,836
The Black prisoner has
symbolized White society's
683
00:45:13,919 --> 00:45:17,965
crime of keeping Black men
oppressed and ignorant.
684
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:20,259
To defeat this, we
will need courage,
685
00:45:20,342 --> 00:45:22,428
courage you are showing now.
686
00:45:22,511 --> 00:45:25,931
The Nation of Islam teaches
our people the true knowledge
687
00:45:26,014 --> 00:45:27,891
of who we are.
688
00:45:27,975 --> 00:45:30,728
It is then and only then,
689
00:45:30,811 --> 00:45:34,773
the Negro in America
shall understand themselves and
690
00:45:34,857 --> 00:45:36,734
the world they inhabit.
691
00:45:36,817 --> 00:45:41,155
For it is he who is not aware
in the knowledge of self,
692
00:45:41,238 --> 00:45:44,032
that is the true prisoner.
693
00:45:45,659 --> 00:45:47,494

694
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:53,250

00:45:54,418 --> 00:45:56,044
[Malcolm] Prison debate
team is going up against some
696
00:45:56,128 --> 00:45:58,422
Ivy League students.
697
00:45:58,505 --> 00:46:00,090
Need to prepare.
698
00:46:00,174 --> 00:46:02,593
You know, you should put
some money in us to win.
699
00:46:02,676 --> 00:46:04,261
[Guard] You couldn't
debate my ass.
700
00:46:04,344 --> 00:46:07,514
And debatin' ain't gonna
get you out of here.
701
00:46:11,185 --> 00:46:15,230
[Malcolm] You ever consider
maybe you're the one in prison?
702
00:46:23,363 --> 00:46:25,449
[Man] The mere threat of
imprisonment is not
703
00:46:25,532 --> 00:46:27,326
a sufficient restraint.
704
00:46:27,409 --> 00:46:32,164
However, the death penalty is
a uniquely potent deterrent for
705
00:46:32,247 --> 00:46:34,750
potentially violent offenders.
706
00:46:35,667 --> 00:46:39,755
[applause]
707
00:46:50,933 --> 00:46:57,064
[Malcolm] Our distinguished
friends on the other side
708
00:46:59,191 --> 00:47:04,279
surely realize that our team
consists of the downtrodden,
709
00:47:04,738 --> 00:47:09,201
comprised of mere grade
school and junior high dropouts.
710
00:47:09,785 --> 00:47:13,997
And yet, we have managed
to remain undefeated
711
00:47:14,081 --> 00:47:16,291
for six straight years.
712
00:47:16,375 --> 00:47:19,503
[All] Yes, yes. Right.
713
00:47:21,088 --> 00:47:26,969
[Malcolm] Now, I raise
this to point out that as long
714
00:47:27,302 --> 00:47:29,680
as there is breath,
there is hope.
715
00:47:29,888 --> 00:47:30,931
[All] Yes.
716
00:47:31,014 --> 00:47:32,683
[Malcolm] Even for
the most despised.
717
00:47:32,766 --> 00:47:34,434
[Inmate] Yes.
Yeah, that's right.
718
00:47:34,518 --> 00:47:38,021
[Malcolm] Deterrence
from mandatory death,
719
00:47:38,105 --> 00:47:41,733
when a White person
murders a Black one,
720
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:43,902
has never been
explored in this country.
721
00:47:43,986 --> 00:47:45,445
[Inmate] No.
722
00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:49,324
[Malcolm] Race disparities in
capital punishment are evident
723
00:47:49,408 --> 00:47:54,288
for there have been several
Black lives extinguished when
724
00:47:54,621 --> 00:47:57,374
convicted of murdering
White people.
725
00:47:57,457 --> 00:48:00,002
[All] Yes.
726
00:48:00,627 --> 00:48:05,507
[Malcolm] So the assumption
that an immoral system can then
727
00:48:05,591 --> 00:48:09,094
lead the way in instituting
justice is preposterous.
728
00:48:09,177 --> 00:48:10,178
[Inmate] Right.
729
00:48:10,262 --> 00:48:12,681
[Malcolm] No, sir. No, sir.
You out of your mind!
730
00:48:12,764 --> 00:48:13,974
[Inmate] Heck, no.
731
00:48:14,057 --> 00:48:17,769
[Malcolm] Instituting a fair
and just process would require
732
00:48:17,853 --> 00:48:20,856
almost perfect detective forces,
733
00:48:21,273 --> 00:48:24,359
incorruptible police,
and judiciary,
734
00:48:24,443 --> 00:48:28,280
juries unswayed by
human emotion and prejudice.
735
00:48:28,363 --> 00:48:30,741
And a stern, un-pardoning.
736
00:48:30,824 --> 00:48:32,034
[Inmate] Yeah.
737
00:48:32,117 --> 00:48:34,077
[Malcolm] Policy regardless
of race, influence,
738
00:48:34,161 --> 00:48:35,454
or station in life.
739
00:48:35,537 --> 00:48:37,581
[Inmate] Yes, yes, yes.
740
00:48:39,666 --> 00:48:45,672
[Malcolm] Now, should these
impossible conditions be met,
741
00:48:45,756 --> 00:48:50,177
they would result in such a
large number of executions that
742
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:54,514
the defenders of the death
penalty would stand aghast.
743
00:48:54,598 --> 00:48:56,141
[Inmate] Yes.
744
00:48:56,224 --> 00:48:57,309
[Inmate 2] Sure would.
745
00:48:57,392 --> 00:49:04,358
[Malcolm] I imagine even our
Princeton guests would become
746
00:49:04,441 --> 00:49:06,568
pale from the experience.
747
00:49:07,194 --> 00:49:12,366
[cheering and applause]
748
00:49:20,582 --> 00:49:22,042
[All] Malcolm!
Malcolm!
749
00:49:22,626 --> 00:49:24,628
Malcolm! Malcolm!
750
00:49:25,295 --> 00:49:27,464
Malcolm! Malcolm!
751
00:49:28,048 --> 00:49:30,467
Malcolm! Malcolm!
752
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,721
[King Jr.] I remember being
forced to ride the back of a
753
00:49:34,805 --> 00:49:37,766
bus so a White
passenger could sit.
754
00:49:41,186 --> 00:49:46,566
Feeling the stares of
contempt from men and women
755
00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:49,903
who claimed to be Christians.
756
00:49:51,071 --> 00:49:53,740
But there's no basis
in the Constitution or in
757
00:49:53,824 --> 00:49:56,827
the Bible for treating
Negroes less human
758
00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:58,787
than anyone else.
759
00:49:59,413 --> 00:50:00,956
[Student] Laws that
separate and divide us are
760
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:02,374
not only unjust,
761
00:50:02,457 --> 00:50:06,044
they are immoral and change
undoubtedly has to come.
762
00:50:06,128 --> 00:50:07,671
The way I see it though,
763
00:50:07,754 --> 00:50:12,676
the most important component
we must all have is patience.
764
00:50:16,346 --> 00:50:18,390
[King Jr.] Patience?
765
00:50:24,563 --> 00:50:31,445
Patience is something Negroes
in this country do not have.
766
00:50:41,872 --> 00:50:43,582
[Malcolm] Dear Holy Apostle,
767
00:50:43,665 --> 00:50:46,334
it took you to teach me
that I was in prison long before
768
00:50:46,418 --> 00:50:49,337
the iron gates
closed on my life.
769
00:50:49,421 --> 00:50:51,048
When those gates finally open,
770
00:50:51,131 --> 00:50:53,800
my freedom won't come
because of my release.
771
00:50:53,884 --> 00:50:56,887
It'll come because of the
gift you've given to me.
772
00:50:57,137 --> 00:51:02,309
[Muhammad] "A gift I will
cherish with my life and
773
00:51:02,392 --> 00:51:04,728
my devotion to you.
774
00:51:05,145 --> 00:51:10,108
There will be no sacrifice
too great for me to make
775
00:51:10,192 --> 00:51:12,319
in your service.
776
00:51:12,778 --> 00:51:16,490
Thank you for helping
me find my purpose."
777
00:51:21,244 --> 00:51:22,621
[King Jr.] Dear Father,
778
00:51:22,704 --> 00:51:24,956
as I considered the
science behind the human race,
779
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,460
I began to see how our
destructive nature causes us
780
00:51:28,543 --> 00:51:30,462
to justify our impulses.
781
00:51:30,754 --> 00:51:33,381
As I considered the flaws
of history and how a man's
782
00:51:33,465 --> 00:51:36,134
disposition can be devastating,
783
00:51:36,218 --> 00:51:38,929
I began to see the
deepest corners of fault
784
00:51:39,012 --> 00:51:40,806
and error in our impulses.
785
00:51:41,515 --> 00:51:45,018
[King Sr.] "I came close to
losing my faith more than once.
786
00:51:45,102 --> 00:51:48,146
Doubting how God
could allow so much pain,
787
00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:50,607
destruction, and evil.
788
00:51:50,690 --> 00:51:52,651
But as you've told
me many times,
789
00:51:52,734 --> 00:51:55,028
God tests before he rewards,
790
00:51:55,112 --> 00:51:58,281
and faith is never
a convenient thing.
791
00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:03,995
So I go out to this world
still uncertain and alone,
792
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:08,250
but willing to give my life
for a cause greater than myself.
793
00:52:08,959 --> 00:52:10,418
And like Abraham,
794
00:52:10,502 --> 00:52:14,047
willing to make whatever
sacrifice is required
795
00:52:14,131 --> 00:52:16,842
in service to God.
796
00:52:18,343 --> 00:52:20,762
Your son, ML."
