2
00:00:17,183 --> 00:00:20,483
Dreams are God's way
of showing us his plans.
3
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:35,124
The good Lord don't want us to just
sit around and wait for things to happen.
4
00:00:36,494 --> 00:00:40,464
Gotta go out and light a match
under whatever it is you want.
5
00:00:43,251 --> 00:00:47,671
And what I want is to own a factory
for hair products.
6
00:00:49,507 --> 00:00:52,137
God helps those who help themselves.
7
00:00:53,094 --> 00:00:54,304
Let me take you on a tour.
8
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:55,507
Over here,
9
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:59,596
I'm gonna have a full-service salon
with six hair culturists.
10
00:01:01,811 --> 00:01:05,521
And over here, I'm gonna make
my new Walker hair-care line-
11
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:10,572
Hair Grower, vegetable shampoo,
and my brand new pressing oil, Glossine.
12
00:01:13,198 --> 00:01:15,328
Which is why I brought you here,
gentlemen.
13
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:19,504
With your support, I'll be able
to purchase this fine building.
14
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:31,376
Curious that you decided to open a factory
for, um... feminine products.
15
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:32,633
It was my idea.
16
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:35,889
CJ's in charge of the ads.
17
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:38,640
Well, now. I do more than ads, now.
18
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:40,846
Of course.
19
00:01:41,684 --> 00:01:44,734
I didn't mean to suggest otherwise.
CJ's been such an asset to my company.
20
00:01:44,813 --> 00:01:47,193
Now I see who wears the pants
in this family.
21
00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:52,148
And it ain't just a dream. I got a plan.
22
00:01:54,072 --> 00:01:56,282
This investment
will make you a 20 percent return,
23
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,616
and nobody's gonna give it to you
that good but me.
24
00:01:59,035 --> 00:02:00,865
Well, I for one...
25
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:05,378
would feel more comfortable knowing
that there was other investors,
26
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:06,708
business endorsements.
27
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:08,553
I endorse them, myself.
28
00:02:09,504 --> 00:02:11,174
I put everything I got into this factory.
29
00:02:11,256 --> 00:02:14,966
Now I could've rebuilt my basement
after the fire, but instead,
30
00:02:15,051 --> 00:02:17,641
I took all my money and I made
a down payment on this building.
31
00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:22,983
Now I'm giving you all the chance
to be first in, part of history.
32
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:26,733
That's a lot of money
your wife is asking for. It's risky.
33
00:02:27,230 --> 00:02:31,730
To paraphrase the great JD Rockefeller,
ain't no reward without risk.
34
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:33,949
Who's in, gentlemen?
35
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:38,869
It's a bit soon.
36
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:39,870
It's-
37
00:02:40,451 --> 00:02:43,291
My apologies, but I have to go.
38
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:45,371
Just a few more moments of your time!
39
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:47,634
Please, gentlemen?
40
00:02:51,379 --> 00:02:53,719
Just... listen to me.
41
00:02:54,632 --> 00:02:55,552
Please!
42
00:02:56,551 --> 00:02:57,761
Gentlemen.
43
00:02:57,844 --> 00:03:00,144
Gentlemen, wait, please. Just a mom-
44
00:03:00,889 --> 00:03:01,759
Please.
45
00:03:11,941 --> 00:03:14,651
And there went our best shot at investors.
46
00:03:14,736 --> 00:03:16,276
What you gonna do now, Sarah?
47
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:24,834
I'm gonna get the most famous Negro
in America to endorse me.
48
00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:35,634
* God gave you the answer
When he gave you the woman *
49
00:03:38,092 --> 00:03:40,892
* God gave you the answer
When he gave you the woman *
50
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:45,353
* Gave you the answer *
51
00:03:45,975 --> 00:03:46,975
* When he gave you the *
52
00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:51,105
You oughta just take it off,
and get back in bed with me.
53
00:03:51,189 --> 00:03:54,979
Oh, Charles Walker, you are terrible!
54
00:03:55,526 --> 00:03:57,396
You look just good enough to eat!
55
00:03:57,487 --> 00:03:58,567
Mmm.
-Mmm.
56
00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:03,203
So where you off to?
57
00:04:03,993 --> 00:04:05,163
Ransom's house.
58
00:04:05,536 --> 00:04:09,116
Apparently, his wife Nettie has an idea
how to get in touch with Booker.
59
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:10,536
Hmm.
60
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:12,961
Still no word, huh?
61
00:04:13,836 --> 00:04:14,746
Mmm.
62
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:20,341
He is an important man.
63
00:04:21,886 --> 00:04:23,346
Travels all around the world.
64
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:26,385
Hmm.
-Going to conventions...
65
00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:29,267
giving speeches.
66
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:31,022
First Negro in the White House.
67
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:35,977
Yeah, it's no surprise he's...
missed all of my letters.
68
00:04:36,859 --> 00:04:39,779
My calls. My telegram.
69
00:04:39,862 --> 00:04:41,452
We're running out of time.
70
00:04:42,073 --> 00:04:44,743
Hate to lose our down payment.
I think I should talk to the investors.
71
00:04:45,243 --> 00:04:47,873
Now, now, I... I know men.
72
00:04:48,579 --> 00:04:49,869
I appreciate that, baby.
73
00:04:50,498 --> 00:04:53,208
Really, I do, but...
74
00:04:54,502 --> 00:04:56,092
this is my company.
75
00:04:58,006 --> 00:04:59,416
Yeah, okay.
76
00:05:00,341 --> 00:05:04,891
If I can't be the one to grow it,
it just don't seem worth having.
77
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:05,971
No, it's fine.
78
00:05:06,848 --> 00:05:07,718
It's fine.
79
00:05:09,058 --> 00:05:11,018
But there is something you can do.
80
00:05:11,102 --> 00:05:12,022
Again?
81
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:15,440
I'm serious.
82
00:05:15,523 --> 00:05:16,363
What?
83
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,237
Get tickets to Booker's convention.
84
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:25,738
So the NNBL is a gentlemen's organization.
I don't think they'd welcome you too well.
85
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:29,115
I don't need to be welcomed.
I just need five minutes with Booker.
86
00:05:29,912 --> 00:05:33,002
You're something else.
87
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:36,042
All right, I'll see what I can do.
88
00:05:37,253 --> 00:05:39,803
Keep on going around now. Keep on-
89
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:43,675
Just hurry back.
90
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:45,719
You bet.
91
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:58,653
-* I'm a master *
-* Master *
92
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,443
-* Y'all should give me honorary masters *
-* Masters *
93
00:06:01,527 --> 00:06:03,647
* Rapper work the green
Just like the Masters *
94
00:06:03,738 --> 00:06:06,448
* The new slave
Talkin' like he got a masta *
95
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:07,662
* Whoo whoo *
96
00:06:08,451 --> 00:06:10,161
* Screamin' "Free thought!" *
97
00:06:11,704 --> 00:06:15,294
Don't go wasting the oil on the side!
98
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,335
Get every drop in the tin!
99
00:06:17,418 --> 00:06:19,298
I'm a guitar player, not a laborer.
100
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:22,549
Hey, you start another fire,
I will shoot you dead.
101
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:24,722
For the 15th time,
that damn fire wasn't my fault.
102
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:26,431
Whose fault is it, then?
103
00:06:26,511 --> 00:06:29,181
Your mama was making too much too fast.
Her burner's went bust.
104
00:06:29,263 --> 00:06:30,223
So it was Mama's fault?
105
00:06:30,306 --> 00:06:33,176
She put a roof over your head
and food on your plate,
106
00:06:33,267 --> 00:06:35,347
and you got the nerve to blame her
for what you did?
107
00:06:35,436 --> 00:06:36,396
I ain't do nothing.
108
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:38,309
It was your job!
109
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:41,358
You had the burners on, and then you left.
110
00:06:41,442 --> 00:06:44,362
See? That's why I'm finna hurry up
and open my juke joint-
111
00:06:44,445 --> 00:06:47,735
I mean, saloon, and get out
from under this whole damn family.
112
00:06:48,282 --> 00:06:50,582
Mmm, I'll believe it when I see it.
113
00:06:53,454 --> 00:06:55,254
What's got you
in such a good mood, Daddy?
114
00:06:55,331 --> 00:06:58,331
Booker T. Washington is in town next week.
115
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:01,048
CJ is out getting us tickets!
116
00:07:01,546 --> 00:07:05,216
Oh! Did I ever tell you all that Booker
was on the plantation next to mine?
117
00:07:05,299 --> 00:07:07,179
Yes, Daddy.
-Yes, Cleophus.
118
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,510
Used to see him every Sunday at worship.
119
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:12,885
He was about six years old, maybe...
120
00:07:12,974 --> 00:07:16,524
I'm about... 17 or 18, maybe...
121
00:07:26,028 --> 00:07:27,278
Pardon me for staring.
122
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:30,069
Your face is exquisite.
123
00:07:30,741 --> 00:07:32,661
I do a little photography on the side.
124
00:07:33,661 --> 00:07:35,291
I'd love to take your picture.
125
00:07:35,371 --> 00:07:37,251
Me? Really?
126
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:39,254
Think about it.
127
00:07:41,586 --> 00:07:43,666
Looks like you could use a break.
128
00:07:44,547 --> 00:07:46,337
I can take over for you if you want.
129
00:07:46,924 --> 00:07:49,474
Uh, yeah. Thanks.
130
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:53,473
It's hot!
131
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:55,564
I know.
132
00:08:04,108 --> 00:08:07,488
Freeman mentioned you were
looking for an endorsement from Booker,
133
00:08:07,987 --> 00:08:10,487
so I asked the ladies to put a rush
on your membership.
134
00:08:10,573 --> 00:08:12,783
Now you'll be the newest member,
just in time.
135
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:15,077
Oh, Nettie, you're a miracle!
-There's more.
136
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:17,291
The National Association president
is gonna be in town-
137
00:08:17,371 --> 00:08:18,411
Margaret Murray Washington?
138
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:21,128
Mm-hmm. Booker's wife will be joining him
at the convention.
139
00:08:22,585 --> 00:08:26,125
Ransom, you got a brilliant wife.
-Oh, amen to that!
140
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:29,384
I may have the degrees,
but she's the real brains in the family.
141
00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:32,927
Indeed. Yes, indeed. Thank you, Nettie.
-Of course.
142
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:34,222
Any news?
143
00:08:35,723 --> 00:08:37,023
Uh, well...
144
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,650
We knew raising 10.000
was going to be difficult.
145
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:47,986
Thanks to Nettie,
I'm gonna get Booker's endorsement.
146
00:08:48,069 --> 00:08:49,739
There'll be tons of other investors
to meet.
147
00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:51,700
I got a good feeling about this.
148
00:08:51,781 --> 00:08:55,031
I left word for a college buddy of mine
who works for Booker,
149
00:08:55,117 --> 00:08:56,197
Emmett Scott.
150
00:08:56,827 --> 00:08:58,157
I'm optimistic too,
151
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:00,497
but we need a Plan B.
152
00:09:01,415 --> 00:09:02,745
A few Plan Bs.
153
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:05,956
I could take out a second mortgage
on the house.
154
00:09:06,045 --> 00:09:08,455
I can't let you do that. Too risky.
155
00:09:09,131 --> 00:09:10,591
You could lose your home.
156
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:13,716
Theodore, the mortician
we met at the factory,
157
00:09:13,803 --> 00:09:15,973
said he's willing to talk numbers again.
158
00:09:16,055 --> 00:09:18,385
Maybe CJ can meet with him.
-No.
159
00:09:18,474 --> 00:09:21,234
No, CJ ain't as good a salesman
as he thinks he is.
160
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:23,597
Besides, nobody can represent
my company like me.
161
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:27,108
Theodore is the richest colored man
in town.
162
00:09:27,191 --> 00:09:29,901
Convince him, and sycophants fall in line.
163
00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:34,366
I'm gonna go talk to Theodore right now.
164
00:09:34,448 --> 00:09:36,698
Thanks again, for everything.
165
00:09:38,786 --> 00:09:40,616
Ransom, we can't fail.
166
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,130
Afternoon.
167
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:53,216
Afternoon.
168
00:09:53,301 --> 00:09:54,721
Hope I'm not interrupting.
169
00:09:57,013 --> 00:09:57,973
I heard you were...
170
00:09:59,807 --> 00:10:03,347
interested in talking more
about investing in my factory?
171
00:10:05,896 --> 00:10:09,026
Just tell me what it'll take
to get you to come on board.
172
00:10:28,794 --> 00:10:32,884
Who was it...
and what did they do to you?
173
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:40,468
It's okay.
174
00:10:43,392 --> 00:10:47,942
Ransom said that you was in a meeting
with the mortician.
175
00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:51,983
He tried to...
176
00:10:53,569 --> 00:10:54,529
Stop!
177
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,361
I got away.
178
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:58,117
Don't you run from me!
179
00:10:59,116 --> 00:11:02,116
Take one more step,
and I will blow the black off you.
180
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:10,165
I've come too far, done too much.
181
00:11:10,961 --> 00:11:13,841
I'm not gonna let that happen again.
-It's all right.
182
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:18,721
You gonna be all right, Sarah.
183
00:11:20,388 --> 00:11:21,758
Is CJ home?
184
00:11:23,766 --> 00:11:24,766
What do I tell him?
185
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:27,192
Nothing. Nothing at all.
186
00:11:27,770 --> 00:11:32,020
You and I both know ain't no good
gonna come from CJ knowing.
187
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:51,461
Ooh-whoo! Hey, Pop.
188
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:54,415
Something smells good in here!
189
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:55,875
Hey, baby.
-Hey.
190
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:56,915
Mmm.
191
00:11:59,635 --> 00:12:00,755
What's wrong?
192
00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:01,675
Nothing.
193
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:03,808
Just glad to see you.
194
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:06,099
Did you get 'em?
195
00:12:06,183 --> 00:12:07,643
Yes, sir! Ha.
196
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:09,897
Three tickets to hear
Booker T. Washington speak
197
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:12,609
at the National Negro
Business League conference.
198
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:14,020
There it is.
199
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:15,278
I heard if he lets you speak,
200
00:12:15,359 --> 00:12:17,739
it's like a personal endorsement
from Booker.
201
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:19,360
His support can triple your business.
202
00:12:19,447 --> 00:12:21,197
That's why I figured me and Daddy
take John-
203
00:12:21,282 --> 00:12:22,122
John?
204
00:12:22,658 --> 00:12:24,158
What about me?
-You called me?
205
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:25,333
Well, no.
206
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:27,251
Baby, they say you
don't even need a ticket.
207
00:12:27,329 --> 00:12:30,119
All the wives, they congregate
in the kitchen, they make refreshments.
208
00:12:30,207 --> 00:12:32,917
How am I supposed to meet investors
and hear speeches from the kitchen?
209
00:12:33,002 --> 00:12:34,132
Sarah...
210
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:36,551
Seem to remember you making
disparaging remarks
211
00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:38,220
about Booker in the past.
212
00:12:38,299 --> 00:12:41,259
Something about him bending
to the white man's will.
213
00:12:41,343 --> 00:12:44,723
Just 'cause I don't always agree with him
don't mean I don't respect him.
214
00:12:44,805 --> 00:12:47,015
Now, he got a plan to uplift the race!
215
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:49,269
He built Tuskegee College
to see it through!
216
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:51,147
I admire the hell out of that!
217
00:12:51,228 --> 00:12:53,608
Let me go and speak on your behalf.
Trust me.
218
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:57,494
You gonna have to find another way, John.
I'm going.
219
00:12:58,527 --> 00:13:00,987
You finished with the basement?
-We out of paint.
220
00:13:01,405 --> 00:13:03,905
Then go into town and get some!
221
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:06,871
You don't rest until every inch
of my house is fixed, you hear me?
222
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:09,832
For the last time,
I ain't start that goddamn fire!
223
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:12,246
You better talk to him.
224
00:13:17,254 --> 00:13:18,764
Hello, Miss Addie.
225
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:22,724
You remember me?
I'm Lelia's husband, John.
226
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:24,929
That's right!
227
00:13:25,012 --> 00:13:27,432
Oh, what a pleasant surprise.
228
00:13:27,515 --> 00:13:29,055
How you doing?
-Mmm.
229
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:32,225
Would you care to join me
in a Cocaine-Cola?
230
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:33,271
Come on.
231
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:35,311
Come on!
-Oh, okay!
232
00:13:41,028 --> 00:13:42,948
So you're from Pittsburgh, huh?
233
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:44,571
What do you do for work?
234
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,157
I play guitar.
235
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:49,082
I mean, used to.
I'm trying to open me a juke joint now.
236
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:52,001
You wanna serve country folk liquor
in the middle of nowhere?
237
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:53,961
The way I see it,
if I pick the right location,
238
00:13:54,041 --> 00:13:55,671
all the top musicians'll be
coming through.
239
00:13:55,751 --> 00:13:57,171
I can get them to play for nothing.
240
00:13:57,253 --> 00:13:58,593
Can I freshen your drink?
241
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:01,341
So how's Sarah's business doing?
242
00:14:01,882 --> 00:14:04,472
Busy. Too busy, if you know what I mean.
243
00:14:04,552 --> 00:14:06,722
Sarah gonna help you open
your little juke joint?
244
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:09,524
Her charity don't never seem
to extend to me.
245
00:14:09,598 --> 00:14:11,098
She'll eat a barn full of pigs feet
246
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:13,523
sooner than lift a finger
to help my black ass.
247
00:14:14,144 --> 00:14:16,564
We oughta call Sarah Madam Pigs Feet.
248
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:22,145
Swine ain't safe around her!
249
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:25,736
I tell you, all that swine
must be affecting her brain
250
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:28,243
'cause she thinks she can just waltz
into that men's conference
251
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:30,075
and get an audience
with Booker T. Washington.
252
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:32,956
Sarah's trying to get an endorsement
from Mr. Washington?
253
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:33,958
Ain't that crazy?
254
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:35,209
How she gonna build a factory
255
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:37,251
when half her house look like
burned fried chicken?
256
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:38,714
Sarah still ain't learn her place.
257
00:14:38,794 --> 00:14:42,134
And get this. She say she's gonna
open salons all over the world.
258
00:14:42,214 --> 00:14:43,474
You're lying, John.
259
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:47,429
The nerve! Just wish I could knock
Miss High-and-Mighty off her horse.
260
00:14:47,928 --> 00:14:50,468
God, really can't stand that woman.
261
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:56,189
Mmm.
262
00:14:56,979 --> 00:15:02,359
In case you hear anything else about Sarah
that I might find interesting...
263
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,238
Lelia's been good to me.
264
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:10,779
Suit yourself.
265
00:15:16,707 --> 00:15:19,127
But, I believe in your juke joint.
266
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:23,301
If you change your mind,
267
00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:25,968
you know where to find me.
268
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:31,640
Let me go on and get out of here.
269
00:15:33,223 --> 00:15:34,643
Night, Miss Addie.
270
00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:36,095
Good night, John.
271
00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:45,438
Madam Pigs Feet.
272
00:16:19,687 --> 00:16:22,477
Yeah, you're gonna be right in there.
-All right, let's go.
273
00:16:24,149 --> 00:16:25,279
It's Ransom.
274
00:16:28,737 --> 00:16:29,657
Sweetness.
275
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,160
What are you doing here?
276
00:16:32,241 --> 00:16:33,621
I'm here to assist.
277
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:35,119
Assist what?
278
00:16:35,202 --> 00:16:39,252
Assist highfalutin Negroes
in their illicit recreational activities
279
00:16:39,331 --> 00:16:41,461
that this fine city's got to offer.
280
00:16:41,542 --> 00:16:43,042
How can I help you?
281
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:45,667
Fifty cents on 4-8-2.
282
00:16:45,754 --> 00:16:47,764
Sho' you right.
283
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,170
You wanna write it down?
284
00:16:49,258 --> 00:16:52,508
I hear a number once, I got it.
I don't need to hear it again.
285
00:16:52,594 --> 00:16:56,564
Say, I got an arrangement
with a nice, trick broad
286
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,560
that's giving happy endings at lunch.
287
00:16:59,143 --> 00:17:00,563
I'll see you after the speech.
288
00:17:00,644 --> 00:17:03,234
I bet I will.
289
00:17:05,983 --> 00:17:07,403
I want in too.
290
00:17:07,484 --> 00:17:09,784
She ain't into that.
-Not what I meant.
291
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,492
I want a bet a dollar on 5-3-1.
292
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,320
I thought you didn't gamble.
293
00:17:14,408 --> 00:17:18,538
Lord knows I don't, but I'd like to take
whatever winnings I might get
294
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:20,410
and invest in my boss's factory.
295
00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:23,078
Now is this a loan or a bet?
296
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:24,377
It's a bet.
297
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:26,547
Bet.
298
00:17:28,756 --> 00:17:30,046
I got you, cousin.
299
00:17:35,345 --> 00:17:37,135
Ah, Mr. Scott.
300
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,642
Mr. Ransom. Look at you.
301
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:43,851
I got your note. Mr. Washington
is aware of Madam CJ Walker.
302
00:17:43,937 --> 00:17:45,397
Oh, so she can speak?
303
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:48,231
Mr. Washington seemed inclined
to add her to the docket.
304
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:50,147
Can't promise, but tell her to be ready.
305
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:54,280
Madam Walker is always ready.
306
00:17:54,364 --> 00:17:56,414
The Southern white man is scared,
307
00:17:56,909 --> 00:18:01,079
thinks the Negro has harbored resentment
of such magnitude
308
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:02,963
that he should be afraid.
309
00:18:03,373 --> 00:18:06,093
We made some gains during Reconstruction.
310
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:10,048
We elected colored senators
and congressmen,
311
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:12,930
like your very own former representative,
312
00:18:13,008 --> 00:18:17,298
the distinguished
Reverend Charles Spencer Smith!
313
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:24,980
Then white fear set in
and brought Jim Crow,
314
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:28,984
not only wiping away those gains
but setting us back.
315
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:33,946
And this is why we must ease their fears
316
00:18:34,029 --> 00:18:36,659
and appeal to their compassion.
317
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:42,367
We must create our own businesses.
318
00:18:43,163 --> 00:18:44,673
And show whites
319
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,920
that Negroes are capable
of economic independence.
320
00:18:51,004 --> 00:18:54,054
Yeah! Uh-huh!
321
00:18:58,846 --> 00:19:02,306
We can uplift our race!
322
00:19:02,391 --> 00:19:04,311
Amen! Uh-huh!
323
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:07,863
We can be separate and equal!
324
00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:16,277
Now I've organized this
National Negro Business League
325
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:20,834
to support us
with our most pressing fiscal issues.
326
00:19:20,909 --> 00:19:26,169
I am very, very proud to introduce you all
327
00:19:26,248 --> 00:19:30,628
to businessmen representing
every industry.
328
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:33,671
We even have a female...
329
00:19:34,798 --> 00:19:39,638
beauty culture luminary.
330
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,680
Please welcome Miss...
331
00:19:44,391 --> 00:19:46,311
Addie Munroe!
332
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:54,744
Miss Munroe is representative
of the finest
333
00:19:54,818 --> 00:19:56,858
of Negro womanhood in business,
334
00:19:56,945 --> 00:20:01,735
and she is quite fetching to the eye,
wouldn't you agree?
335
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,581
Huh, gentlemen?
336
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:06,000
Thank you. All right, gentlemen.
337
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:12,165
Now, Miss Munroe will be outside
selling raffle tickets.
338
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:18,224
Um, all benefits go to the new structure
at our beloved Tuskegee Institute.
339
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,340
Thank you very much!
340
00:20:19,426 --> 00:20:21,886
Thank you very much.
341
00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:24,348
Miss Munroe.
342
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:33,269
Six speakers
and he still didn't call my name.
343
00:20:33,357 --> 00:20:34,687
Conference ain't over, darling.
344
00:20:35,108 --> 00:20:37,278
Emmett said it could happen at any time.
345
00:20:37,361 --> 00:20:40,741
He even trotted Addie out
like a dummy in a dress.
346
00:20:41,281 --> 00:20:42,241
Now, now.
347
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:47,079
Please find Emmett, and remind him
how many jobs I'd be creating.
348
00:20:47,162 --> 00:20:48,002
Will do.
349
00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:54,590
Nettie!
350
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:58,419
Mrs. Thomas,
such a pleasure to see you here.
351
00:20:58,507 --> 00:20:59,627
Good day to you.
352
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:03,472
Margaret Washington,
may I introduce you to Madam CJ Walker,
353
00:21:03,553 --> 00:21:04,933
our newest member?
354
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:07,563
She has a fabulous
local hair-care company.
355
00:21:07,641 --> 00:21:09,641
Oh, yes. I think I have heard of you.
356
00:21:09,726 --> 00:21:15,266
Being recognized by an esteemed educator
such as yourself is an honor.
357
00:21:16,441 --> 00:21:20,401
You have an open invitation to my salon,
any treatment, free of charge.
358
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:22,281
Bless your heart.
359
00:21:22,698 --> 00:21:25,948
Hard to get anything but that cheap
snake oil stuff in Tuskegee.
360
00:21:26,034 --> 00:21:28,334
Which is why I want to open
my own factory.
361
00:21:28,412 --> 00:21:30,542
A factory? Impressive.
362
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:34,332
I want to make going to the salon
affordable for all women.
363
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:36,955
You are doing the Lord's work.
364
00:21:37,045 --> 00:21:40,415
Care to join us? We club women,
we socialize in the serving room.
365
00:21:40,507 --> 00:21:43,047
Oh, there's nothing I'd like more.
366
00:21:43,635 --> 00:21:45,545
But first, can I trouble you for a favor?
367
00:21:46,138 --> 00:21:48,928
I'm in need of investors for my factory,
368
00:21:49,016 --> 00:21:52,346
and an endorsement from your husband
could make all the difference.
369
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:55,606
I'm just having a hard time
getting to him.
370
00:21:56,773 --> 00:22:00,363
I make it a point not to get involved
with my husband's affairs.
371
00:22:00,902 --> 00:22:02,822
Well, you know how marriage is!
372
00:22:02,904 --> 00:22:04,914
I have my business, and he has his.
373
00:22:06,408 --> 00:22:09,118
Come, Mrs. Washington.
The ladies are expecting us.
374
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,655
You ladies have a good day.
375
00:22:11,747 --> 00:22:12,747
Bye, Sarah.
376
00:22:16,918 --> 00:22:19,208
Socializing with the wives sounds fun.
377
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:21,876
I didn't come here to make sandwiches.
I came here to do business.
378
00:22:21,965 --> 00:22:23,715
Oh, I know.
379
00:22:24,885 --> 00:22:25,965
Oh, CJ!
380
00:22:26,553 --> 00:22:28,473
Ten more minutes.
-Oh! There he is.
381
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:31,312
Follow him in.
382
00:22:31,391 --> 00:22:33,811
I ain't following him in the bathroom.
That's not a good idea.
383
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:35,814
You've been talking about
speaking on my behalf-
384
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:37,806
Go in and invite him to our house
for dinner.
385
00:22:37,898 --> 00:22:39,188
Sarah, I ain't going in the-
386
00:22:39,733 --> 00:22:40,863
Get in there.
387
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:42,607
Go!
388
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:46,111
See, I don't-
-Get in there.
389
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:52,202
Well, well, well.
390
00:22:52,662 --> 00:22:55,462
Sarah! Oh, Madam.
391
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:57,173
What brings you here?
392
00:22:57,250 --> 00:23:00,550
You still running around,
dreaming of opening a factory?
393
00:23:00,629 --> 00:23:05,299
Oh, Addie, you'd be surprised
how many people want me to succeed.
394
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:08,681
I'm in escrow on an old feed mill
in Bucktown.
395
00:23:08,762 --> 00:23:10,062
I'll be open in a month.
396
00:23:10,514 --> 00:23:12,934
Well, now that I have
Booker's endorsement-
397
00:23:13,016 --> 00:23:16,016
You call that an endorsement?
-...maybe I'll open a factory too.
398
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,726
But you need an education to run one.
399
00:23:19,815 --> 00:23:22,855
And we both know you ain't got that.
400
00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:25,823
Oh, you'd be surprised how much I learned
over the years.
401
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:28,494
Gosh, it wasn't that long ago
that I was showing you
402
00:23:28,573 --> 00:23:30,993
how to make change for a dollar!
403
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:34,696
And now, my product outsells yours.
404
00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:36,498
Who told you that?
405
00:23:36,581 --> 00:23:38,791
All your former customers
that switched over to me.
406
00:23:38,875 --> 00:23:39,995
Reverend!
407
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:42,881
Oh, where you going, Addie?
408
00:23:42,963 --> 00:23:44,593
This was just getting good.
409
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:47,548
Baby, baby, baby!
410
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:51,223
Guess who's coming to dinner tonight?
-Don't play with me, CJ.
411
00:23:51,304 --> 00:23:54,184
Booker T. Washington said
he's free for the evening
412
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,926
and wants a home-cooked meal.
413
00:23:56,017 --> 00:23:59,307
We gotta throw Booker the best dinner-
No, the best party he's ever seen!
414
00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:00,266
Yeah!
415
00:24:00,355 --> 00:24:01,685
Mmm!
416
00:24:01,773 --> 00:24:03,323
Mmm!
417
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,570
Come on.
-Stop!
418
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:19,789
You hit, cousin. $500.
419
00:24:32,053 --> 00:24:34,853
Ransom, stop dillydallying.
We're gonna be late for the party.
420
00:24:37,642 --> 00:24:41,152
Well, Booker was the first Negro
to dine in the White House.
421
00:24:41,229 --> 00:24:43,519
Now, what you think he had to do
to get that invitation?
422
00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:46,147
Promise Massa
he'd keep the slaves in line.
423
00:24:46,234 --> 00:24:48,364
Oh, Pop!
424
00:24:48,445 --> 00:24:51,735
You brought a famous man like Booker
bathtub hooch?
425
00:24:51,823 --> 00:24:54,663
Make you forget you got 20 lashes
that day.
426
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:56,413
Set up right in here.
427
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,750
Mm-hmm. Come on in.
428
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:00,670
Yeah!
429
00:25:00,749 --> 00:25:02,379
Thank you. Come on in.
430
00:25:02,459 --> 00:25:03,629
Well, hello!
431
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:06,799
Good to see you.
The food's just set up in here.
432
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,470
Evening, Lelia.
-Good to see you.
433
00:25:08,548 --> 00:25:10,968
Yes. Yes, sir. Hello, Reverend.
434
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:13,851
Thank you so much for coming.
The food's just in there.
435
00:25:16,389 --> 00:25:18,849
Uh, y'all know I do sing a little, right?
436
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:24,563
With your help, with your support,
437
00:25:25,565 --> 00:25:28,025
I can uplift the race too, Mr. Washington.
438
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:32,607
Female entrepreneurship
will uplift the race.
439
00:25:33,198 --> 00:25:36,948
I'm ready to do my part, Mr. Washington.
440
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:38,075
Come in!
441
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:40,410
It's Ransom.
442
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:48,172
Forgive me if I'm being too forward,
but if I could have a brief word?
443
00:25:48,922 --> 00:25:50,052
I'll stay out here.
444
00:25:51,132 --> 00:25:54,302
I feared we wouldn't have a chance
to speak for the rest of the night.
445
00:25:54,803 --> 00:25:55,893
What is it, Ransom?
446
00:25:57,639 --> 00:25:59,679
I wanna invest in your factory.
447
00:26:02,185 --> 00:26:03,895
I have $500.
448
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:06,984
Where'd you get that kind of money?
449
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:07,975
Well...
450
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:12,204
did a little legal work on the side
when I was at Columbia.
451
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:15,870
In a few hours, Booker will endorse you.
452
00:26:16,366 --> 00:26:19,486
Businessmen will be
falling over themselves to invest.
453
00:26:20,787 --> 00:26:22,247
I wanted to be the first.
454
00:26:27,043 --> 00:26:28,213
Bless your heart.
455
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:30,961
I'll put it in the safe.
456
00:26:32,132 --> 00:26:34,682
Your tenacity is remarkable, Madam.
457
00:26:36,177 --> 00:26:38,257
Nettie and I wish you the best of luck.
458
00:26:40,432 --> 00:26:41,352
Thank you.
459
00:26:57,741 --> 00:26:59,531
Yeah!
-Whoo!
460
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:01,658
Go on!
-Whoo!
461
00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:04,043
Whoo!
462
00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:11,760
Whoo!
463
00:27:12,088 --> 00:27:15,718
Hey! Whoo!
464
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,510
Show me what you got.
-CJ!
465
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:18,934
Come on. Show me what you got.
466
00:27:19,012 --> 00:27:20,392
Whoo!
-Whoo!
467
00:27:21,264 --> 00:27:22,724
Whoo!
-Whoo!
468
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:25,437
Madam CJ Walker.
469
00:27:25,518 --> 00:27:26,848
The Madam.
-Whoo!
470
00:27:26,936 --> 00:27:30,646
Yes!
471
00:27:37,197 --> 00:27:38,027
Yes!
472
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:45,624
All right, now.
473
00:27:47,207 --> 00:27:48,877
Do it, CJ!
474
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:53,377
Ah!
475
00:27:55,382 --> 00:28:00,222
Oh, baby, I just want to take a moment
and say thank you.
476
00:28:01,429 --> 00:28:03,809
We got a great Negro leader
coming to our house.
477
00:28:03,890 --> 00:28:04,770
Yes, we do.
478
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:05,729
We did it.
479
00:28:06,935 --> 00:28:07,845
You did it.
480
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,730
I'm just glad I could come through
for you, baby.
481
00:28:11,606 --> 00:28:12,646
I love you.
482
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:15,782
I love you too.
483
00:28:21,866 --> 00:28:22,866
Mmm.
484
00:28:26,996 --> 00:28:29,456
Now we're gonna bring up a local favorite.
485
00:28:29,541 --> 00:28:32,091
Give it up for Ms. Lelia Robinson!
486
00:28:32,168 --> 00:28:33,208
Come on, girl.
487
00:28:34,295 --> 00:28:36,335
Lelia, what the hell
you think you're doing?
488
00:28:36,798 --> 00:28:37,668
Yeah!
489
00:28:37,757 --> 00:28:39,007
See what you got.
490
00:28:48,476 --> 00:28:54,606
* Last night
I dreamed that someone kissed me *
491
00:28:54,691 --> 00:28:58,361
* Two wonderful lips *
492
00:28:58,445 --> 00:29:03,575
* Stretched right close to mine *
493
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:09,044
* Sweet kisses that came in the night *
494
00:29:09,122 --> 00:29:12,922
* Sweet kisses that brought me to life *
495
00:29:13,418 --> 00:29:17,378
* I really like my honey and sugar a lot *
496
00:29:17,464 --> 00:29:21,094
* But they're not half as sweet
As the kisses I got *
497
00:29:21,176 --> 00:29:24,796
* Sweet kisses
That came in the night *
498
00:29:24,888 --> 00:29:28,888
* Sweet kisses
That brought me to life *
499
00:29:28,975 --> 00:29:33,345
* Oh, Mr. Dream Man
Hear my plea *
500
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:37,528
-* I'm his honey, and he's my bee *
-Oh!
501
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:42,319
* So, please make sure
He buzz around nobody but me *
502
00:29:42,405 --> 00:29:46,735
* Sweet kisses that came in the night *
503
00:29:58,713 --> 00:30:00,923
Booker better get here.
504
00:30:09,390 --> 00:30:10,430
He's late.
505
00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:13,727
Booker's got every right
to be late, Sarah. He's free.
506
00:30:24,989 --> 00:30:26,239
I'm gonna be right back.
507
00:30:28,618 --> 00:30:29,868
What are you doing here?
508
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:33,958
As Madam's newest and, no doubt,
best-looking investor,
509
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,210
I thought it was time we break bread.
-Since when are you an investor?
510
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:39,709
Since I helped you with that cash.
511
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:41,756
What cash? My number hit.
512
00:30:42,757 --> 00:30:45,177
Come on, cuz, you can't be that square.
513
00:30:48,304 --> 00:30:49,354
You fixed it?
514
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:51,558
Mmm.
515
00:30:53,893 --> 00:30:55,443
Goddamn.
516
00:30:56,396 --> 00:30:57,556
Hey, you look here.
517
00:30:58,189 --> 00:31:01,609
This is the best job I've ever had,
and you ain't gonna mess that up.
518
00:31:03,152 --> 00:31:06,162
Got me? Now see yourself out of here.
519
00:31:20,128 --> 00:31:24,588
CJ, I need to know... every detail
of what happened in the bathroom.
520
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:28,597
I told Booker you're my wife,
and I invited him to dinner.
521
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:30,891
What then?
522
00:31:34,517 --> 00:31:35,687
He put away his pistol.
523
00:31:36,686 --> 00:31:38,226
Pistol?
-Yeah.
524
00:31:39,314 --> 00:31:42,284
Why did he take out a pistol?
-I went in, and I locked the door.
525
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:45,530
Just us.
I didn't want us to be interrupted.
526
00:31:45,612 --> 00:31:46,912
And I must've scared him.
527
00:31:46,988 --> 00:31:50,908
The man has a lot of enemies.
He just whipped out his pistol.
528
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:52,662
Booker's not coming to our house.
529
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,709
He just told you what he thought
you wanted to hear.
530
00:31:56,331 --> 00:31:57,371
Ransom!
531
00:31:57,457 --> 00:31:58,287
Madam.
532
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,040
Call your friend, Emmett.
533
00:32:04,505 --> 00:32:07,875
Yes, she wanted to talk to him
about getting an endorsement,
534
00:32:08,426 --> 00:32:09,636
maybe speaking.
535
00:32:09,719 --> 00:32:11,509
Yes, for her factory.
536
00:32:12,972 --> 00:32:14,352
But I thought you said he-
537
00:32:17,393 --> 00:32:19,233
Ah. Okay.
538
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:21,727
I see.
539
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:27,282
You're right.
540
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:29,162
Booker's not coming.
541
00:32:30,073 --> 00:32:33,083
Why, because CJ scared him?
Never should've trusted you.
542
00:32:33,159 --> 00:32:36,699
Booker thinks beauty culture is frivolous.
543
00:32:37,205 --> 00:32:39,825
Now, he might let you
say a prayer or something,
544
00:32:39,916 --> 00:32:42,496
but he was never gonna let you
present to investors.
545
00:32:42,585 --> 00:32:44,665
How many days before we lose the lease
on the building?
546
00:32:45,672 --> 00:32:46,712
A week.
547
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:48,719
Get out!
548
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,300
Now, now, Sarah, calm down.
549
00:32:51,386 --> 00:32:53,096
Especially you. Get out of my face!
550
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:55,259
Get out! Everybody out!
551
00:32:57,183 --> 00:32:58,773
Thank you.
-Sarah.
552
00:33:00,019 --> 00:33:01,479
I blame you for this.
553
00:33:02,355 --> 00:33:04,105
Putting those ideas in her head.
554
00:33:04,857 --> 00:33:07,027
Those ideas were already there.
555
00:33:10,947 --> 00:33:12,277
Madam was a mess in there.
556
00:33:12,365 --> 00:33:15,695
You had no right involving
your trifling cousin in Madam's business.
557
00:33:16,285 --> 00:33:18,495
And I played the numbers for Sarah
as a backdrop.
558
00:33:18,579 --> 00:33:20,209
That wasn't your choice to make.
559
00:33:21,082 --> 00:33:23,672
As hard as she's trying to work
to be respectable...
560
00:33:23,751 --> 00:33:25,551
the last thing she wants is
his dirty money.
561
00:33:25,628 --> 00:33:29,468
Listen, nobody was stepping up to invest,
I was just trying to help.
562
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:32,260
You tell her.
563
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:33,513
Oh, I will.
564
00:33:35,513 --> 00:33:36,513
I'll tell her.
565
00:33:47,233 --> 00:33:49,323
You took all these?
-Mm-hmm.
566
00:33:50,486 --> 00:33:52,736
How you get your mitts
on a camera like that?
567
00:33:54,073 --> 00:33:56,373
The ofay my mama worked for gave it to me.
568
00:33:57,577 --> 00:33:59,947
What I wouldn't give
for talent like yours.
569
00:34:01,497 --> 00:34:02,827
Everybody's got something.
570
00:34:03,624 --> 00:34:05,214
You just ain't found yours yet.
571
00:34:05,710 --> 00:34:08,840
* You've got my attention, babe *
572
00:34:10,923 --> 00:34:11,883
Turn to the right.
573
00:34:15,136 --> 00:34:16,176
* 'Cause the moon... *
574
00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:17,312
Put your chin up.
575
00:34:18,264 --> 00:34:19,274
Just a bit.
576
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:25,188
* Breeze will take you right
In your zone *
577
00:34:25,271 --> 00:34:29,151
* You got tonight
But you act like you don't *
578
00:34:29,233 --> 00:34:30,193
Relax.
579
00:34:30,276 --> 00:34:32,356
* Just so you know *
580
00:34:32,445 --> 00:34:38,445
* I'm onto you... *
581
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:42,582
Eyes back to me.
582
00:34:42,663 --> 00:34:45,963
* I'm onto you... *
583
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:47,092
Smile.
584
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:54,183
* Oh, you *
585
00:34:54,258 --> 00:34:55,088
Three,
586
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,639
two, one.
587
00:35:24,539 --> 00:35:27,039
Bunch of us are headed
to Grady's Bar and Grill.
588
00:35:28,709 --> 00:35:29,789
You wanna come?
589
00:35:32,338 --> 00:35:33,918
No. I'm gonna go in.
590
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:36,967
She needs me.
591
00:35:37,552 --> 00:35:38,512
No, she doesn't.
592
00:35:39,804 --> 00:35:41,014
Madam needs to be alone.
593
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:44,681
Come on, CJ.
594
00:36:11,878 --> 00:36:12,998
CJ, you seen Lelia?
595
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:15,298
What?
-Lelia, you seen her?
596
00:36:15,381 --> 00:36:17,971
I saw her with that little boy, Esther.
597
00:36:26,726 --> 00:36:28,306
Oh, all right!
598
00:36:31,647 --> 00:36:35,227
Hey. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, there it is, there it is, there it is.
599
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:17,530
Margaret Murray Washington, please.
600
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:19,950
Margaret?
601
00:37:21,197 --> 00:37:22,487
Madam CJ Walker.
602
00:37:23,282 --> 00:37:25,872
Can I join you ladies
at the convention tomorrow?
603
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:28,037
I have a surprise.
604
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:34,422
Oh, we started in, what, 1895,
605
00:37:34,502 --> 00:37:39,762
when that awful man denigrated
Negro womanhood in the Missouri newspaper.
606
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:44,800
He said that all Negro women
are either prostitutes, liars, or thieves.
607
00:37:44,887 --> 00:37:46,427
You don't say?
-Mmm.
608
00:37:46,514 --> 00:37:47,974
Mama, you hear this?
-Mmm.
609
00:37:48,057 --> 00:37:49,807
Of course, we had to respond.
610
00:37:50,601 --> 00:37:53,981
So that's how the National Association
of Colored Women got started?
611
00:37:54,397 --> 00:37:56,517
Yeah. First, we were maybe a 100 women.
612
00:37:57,650 --> 00:38:02,990
Now we are 250.000 strong,
and Margaret is our fearless leader.
613
00:38:04,323 --> 00:38:07,293
Ain't nothing a colored woman can't do
when she set her mind to it.
614
00:38:07,368 --> 00:38:08,408
Got that right.
615
00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:10,905
That's right.
616
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:14,127
I was wondering if I could...
617
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:18,054
get you to put in a good word for me
to Mr. Washington.
618
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:23,087
I got some investors on the fence,
and seems like men can't hear a good idea
619
00:38:23,175 --> 00:38:25,175
unless it comes out another man's mouth.
620
00:38:25,261 --> 00:38:28,601
As I said before, it's just not our place.
621
00:38:29,682 --> 00:38:31,432
Where exactly is a woman's place?
622
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,650
I mean, you're all accomplished women
with college degrees.
623
00:38:36,731 --> 00:38:38,521
Most of you smarter than your husbands.
624
00:38:39,025 --> 00:38:42,275
Why hide back here?
Go out there where the action is.
625
00:38:42,945 --> 00:38:44,605
We live in a man's world.
626
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,829
Any opportunity I get to convene
with other like-minded women,
627
00:38:49,910 --> 00:38:51,160
I gladly take it.
628
00:38:51,704 --> 00:38:54,754
Don't mistake us for victims.
We choose to be here.
629
00:38:55,875 --> 00:38:57,495
We may be near the kitchen,
630
00:38:58,794 --> 00:39:00,004
but we're together.
631
00:39:01,297 --> 00:39:05,047
No disrespect, but it don't matter
if you choose to be here.
632
00:39:05,134 --> 00:39:08,304
You're still in back, afraid to speak!
-And look at the time.
633
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:10,637
We better go prepare lunch.
-I know how it is.
634
00:39:12,433 --> 00:39:14,193
See, I've been silent most of my life,
635
00:39:15,019 --> 00:39:19,399
but something changed when I started
making my product and telling my story.
636
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:21,693
There's power in it.
637
00:39:23,986 --> 00:39:25,486
Don't get me wrong.
638
00:39:25,571 --> 00:39:28,241
Just last week, I went to a man
with a business opportunity.
639
00:39:28,324 --> 00:39:30,534
He took his genitals out
and tried to force himself on me,
640
00:39:30,618 --> 00:39:32,368
so I understand y'all's hesitation.
641
00:39:34,997 --> 00:39:38,707
Many of us fear harm
from our own husbands,
642
00:39:40,002 --> 00:39:41,172
and rightly so.
643
00:39:42,338 --> 00:39:45,798
Sometimes silence is the only protection
a colored woman can count on.
644
00:39:46,801 --> 00:39:49,891
And now that I've finally learned
to tell my story,
645
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:52,141
I can't be silent anymore.
646
00:39:56,143 --> 00:39:57,143
I can't.
647
00:40:03,901 --> 00:40:04,901
* Rise up *
648
00:40:06,028 --> 00:40:11,278
I am proud to say I have finally
paid off my sharecropping debt.
649
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:12,447
Hear! Hear!
650
00:40:15,329 --> 00:40:16,289
Hear. Hear.
651
00:40:19,667 --> 00:40:23,957
Now I just need $200 to buy...
-Wait, Sarah.
652
00:40:24,755 --> 00:40:26,625
They're gonna let me speak.
653
00:40:29,176 --> 00:40:30,756
* Your strength can push us through *
654
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:31,925
Mr. Washington,
655
00:40:33,055 --> 00:40:34,885
my name is Madam CJ Walker,
656
00:40:35,724 --> 00:40:39,984
and with great humility,
I ask that you endorse my new factory.
657
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:45,935
Now my factory will create jobs...
658
00:40:47,069 --> 00:40:49,029
and opportunity for our people,
659
00:40:49,530 --> 00:40:50,700
especially our women.
660
00:40:53,659 --> 00:40:54,699
Look at your wives.
661
00:40:55,828 --> 00:40:56,698
Look at 'em!
662
00:40:58,122 --> 00:40:59,252
Aren't they gorgeous?
663
00:41:01,167 --> 00:41:02,207
Mm-hmm.
664
00:41:02,626 --> 00:41:04,706
But they are so much more.
665
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:07,384
Learned...
666
00:41:08,048 --> 00:41:09,468
political, brilliant!
667
00:41:10,217 --> 00:41:13,007
And they are wasting their talents
in the back!
668
00:41:15,556 --> 00:41:20,186
Help me give them opportunities
that will benefit your whole family.
669
00:41:22,062 --> 00:41:24,772
Female enterprise is good for us all.
670
00:41:25,608 --> 00:41:27,028
It's the way of the future.
671
00:41:28,402 --> 00:41:30,652
I can see it clear as day.
672
00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:37,239
This is how you can truly uplift the race!
673
00:42:03,771 --> 00:42:07,481
Thank you for those, um...
passionate remarks!
674
00:42:09,985 --> 00:42:12,605
May I have a word with you, please?
-Yes.
675
00:42:16,325 --> 00:42:18,655
Please.
-Thank you, Mr. Washington.
676
00:42:19,453 --> 00:42:23,713
Forgive me for being so bold,
but God was speaking through me.
677
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:26,881
That little outburst that you had in there
was rude and uncalled for.
678
00:42:26,961 --> 00:42:30,761
Sir, with all due respect,
I need your endorsement.
679
00:42:31,298 --> 00:42:33,468
Where you lead, others follow.
680
00:42:34,051 --> 00:42:35,841
Jobs are at stake.
-Jobs?
681
00:42:35,928 --> 00:42:40,598
In a trivial company that shames Negroes
into Eurocentric standards of beauty.
682
00:42:40,683 --> 00:42:44,143
I have no interest
in making colored women look white.
683
00:42:44,645 --> 00:42:46,515
I want us to feel beautiful too.
684
00:42:46,605 --> 00:42:50,855
But Negroes cannot afford to waste money
on cosmetics.
685
00:42:50,943 --> 00:42:53,323
That's why I pay my employees four times
686
00:42:53,404 --> 00:42:55,824
what they'd earn taking in laundry
for half the hours.
687
00:42:55,906 --> 00:42:59,236
And soon you will have Negro women
out-earning Negro men.
688
00:42:59,994 --> 00:43:01,754
Is that what this is about?
689
00:43:01,829 --> 00:43:06,379
How is America going to take us seriously
if we allow our women to surpass us?
690
00:43:06,458 --> 00:43:07,708
It's not a competition.
691
00:43:08,502 --> 00:43:11,262
We all need to be lifted, sir.
692
00:43:11,338 --> 00:43:14,008
The Negro man needs to be lifted first.
693
00:43:14,883 --> 00:43:17,223
I know our men have it hard,
but so do our women.
694
00:43:17,303 --> 00:43:21,223
I would rather endorse a palm reader
695
00:43:21,307 --> 00:43:23,227
than a hair culturalist, Mrs. Walker,
696
00:43:23,309 --> 00:43:26,189
and the little outburst in there
is precisely the reason why
697
00:43:26,270 --> 00:43:29,190
you ladies need to be kept in your place.
698
00:43:32,192 --> 00:43:33,242
Good day.
699
00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:50,540
We ain't mortgaging this house
for your little factory,
700
00:43:50,628 --> 00:43:52,048
so get that notion out your head.
701
00:43:52,129 --> 00:43:53,509
We gotta do something, CJ.
702
00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:55,299
This is our dream.
That's why we came here!
703
00:43:55,382 --> 00:43:57,302
Well, I didn't come here
to build no damn factory.
704
00:43:57,384 --> 00:43:58,974
Sarah, we're doing just fine.
705
00:43:59,428 --> 00:44:02,388
Now, why can't you just be satisfied
with what we got?
706
00:44:02,473 --> 00:44:04,603
Because I can't,
and you shouldn't be either.
707
00:44:04,683 --> 00:44:06,693
Booker was right.
You need to learn your place.
708
00:44:06,769 --> 00:44:07,769
I know my place.
709
00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:10,690
Inside the factory, making my products,
growing my company.
710
00:44:10,773 --> 00:44:13,403
My, my, my products. My company. Yours.
711
00:44:13,484 --> 00:44:14,864
Yours. You're f-
712
00:44:15,611 --> 00:44:16,611
What?
713
00:44:17,321 --> 00:44:18,411
Uh...
714
00:44:19,031 --> 00:44:20,531
Pardon me, but, uh...
715
00:44:21,867 --> 00:44:23,197
I brought the paperwork.
716
00:44:32,753 --> 00:44:36,423
You done already decided
to do this... with him.
717
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:37,797
There are no other options, CJ.
718
00:44:37,883 --> 00:44:40,433
If she defaults on this property,
she will never get another.
719
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:42,761
For the last time,
mind your goddamn business!
720
00:44:47,267 --> 00:44:48,437
This is my house.
721
00:44:51,313 --> 00:44:52,613
What I say goes.
722
00:44:55,526 --> 00:44:56,356
What I say!
723
00:45:02,241 --> 00:45:03,201
C-
724
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:21,389
Female enterprise is good for us all.
725
00:45:35,607 --> 00:45:37,107
Good luck with the factory.
726
00:45:40,946 --> 00:45:43,446
Well, come in! Come in! Thank you.
727
00:45:44,032 --> 00:45:45,952
Thank you! God bless you.
728
00:45:47,786 --> 00:45:48,826
Ransom!
729
00:45:52,291 --> 00:45:53,791
Well, look who it is.
730
00:45:54,626 --> 00:45:56,296
You want dirt on Madam Pigs Feet?
731
00:45:57,004 --> 00:45:58,674
How much is it worth to you?
732
00:45:58,756 --> 00:46:00,916
Your darling Lelia won't be disappointed?
733
00:46:01,383 --> 00:46:03,263
Lelia don't give a damn about me.
734
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:04,801
I see.
735
00:46:06,305 --> 00:46:09,345
Well, I'd pay a pretty penny to find out
736
00:46:09,433 --> 00:46:11,733
why Sarah's product
sells better than mine.
737
00:46:12,686 --> 00:46:13,766
Hmm.
738
00:46:13,854 --> 00:46:15,614
Club women to the rescue!
739
00:46:15,689 --> 00:46:17,069
Ooh, yes.
740
00:46:19,693 --> 00:46:20,743
There you go, Mama.
741
00:46:20,819 --> 00:46:22,989
Ransom, get us another
bottle of champagne, please!
742
00:46:23,071 --> 00:46:26,951
* Hold my head high, the further I go... *
743
00:46:27,034 --> 00:46:29,914
Mama, you are opening up a factory.
744
00:46:30,662 --> 00:46:32,252
Whoo!
745
00:46:34,249 --> 00:46:35,629

Never get to drink without my husband.

750
00:46:50,516 --> 00:46:52,226
* Remember how *
751
00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:54,349
* The early days were darker *
752
00:46:54,436 --> 00:46:55,436
Oh!
-* Days were darker *
753
00:46:55,521 --> 00:46:58,611
* And so I stand up
Time and time again... *
754
00:46:59,942 --> 00:47:01,992
Lady Margaret.
