00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:37,300
I think, to understand the
story of the freedom riders,
3
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:39,400
you have to understand how abhorrent
4
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,400
segregation was in the deep south.
5
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,900
Granddad:
Segregation was so bad back then,
6
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,300
my rule was if it was
in the south, it wasn't worth it.
7
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,300
And most of my family was in
the south, and I didn't care.
8
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,100
They were not worth it.
9
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,000
So, it's with that backdrop
that a handful of us
10
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,100
decided to venture into the deep
south to defy those immoral laws.
11
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:02,400
Robert Jebediah Freeman is a very odd
12
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,700
recurring character in the
Civil Rights Movement.
13
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:07,300
He is a self-described civil rights legend,
14
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,000
which I feel is, well, not at all accurate.
15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Even by his own account,
16
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:15,900
his participation in the freedom rides seems
to have been completely against his will.
17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,700
__
18
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:25,400
Granddad: One ticket for Chicago,
thank you kindly.
19
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,700
[Grumbles] Hmm!
20
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,800
Granddad: The day I was leaving,
it was all over the news.
21
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,100
These freedom riders...
22
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:44,200
young, idealistic, bold kids who were
riding buses from Washington, D.C.,
23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,300
to New Orleans to test and
challenge segregation...
24
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:48,800
end Jim Crow.
25
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,200
The paper said they were expected to arrive
in Alabama sometime that afternoon,
26
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,800
and I remember thinking to myself,
27
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,100
"I'm so glad I won't be here
when them niggas show up."
28
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,400
Don't get me wrong.
Unh-unh. I hated Jim Crow.
29
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,700
Ohh, the humiliation we had to endure.
30
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,300
Ugh! [Coughs, gags]
31
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,800
See, when I saw injustice,
32
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,700
I didn't need to dust off negro spirituals
33
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:32,800
and have an army of rhyming
preachers behind me.
34
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,100
Oh, no, I ain't afraid of a confrontation.
35
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,600
I let those crackers
know I wasn't having it.
36
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,500
Uh, I just wanted to make sure
that you were aware that the, uh,
37
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,600
colored restroom could use some attending.
38
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600
What you want me to do
about that, porch monkey?
39
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,800
Granddad:
I would like someone to clean it,
40
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,200
if you have the time and
available janitorial staff.
41
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
I bet it's cleaner than that
jungle you come from, coonskin.
42
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,200
Shoot, if it was up to me, you'd
be [beep] from a tree outside.
43
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,200
[Chuckling] now, scram, spearchucker.
44
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,600
Granddad: Excuse me, sir, but I know
my rights... separate but equal.
45
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,400
Now, I don't mind using
the colored bathroom,
46
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,500
but it is a violation of my civil rights
47
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,700
if that bathroom is covered in [beep].
48
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:06,600
The bathrooms should be equally [beep].
49
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,800
That's the law.
50
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,000
Hey, how about I get you a mop,
and you clean it, jigaboo?
51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Granddad: [Grumbles]
52
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:18,500
So, I bravely went into the whites-only
bathroom, and I took a dump.
53
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:20,500
Oh, not just any dump.
54
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:25,000
It was a dump for freedom, a stinky
load for the dignity of the black man.
55
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,800
[Farting] Take that, Charlie.
This is for your mama.
56
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,500
[Farting] Aah! Ooh. [Sighs]
57
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,100
- Aah. [Sighs] Oh.
- What?
58
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:35,300
- Granddad: Free at last. Free at last.
- [Groans]
59
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:36,600
[Farting] Whew!
60
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,800
[Humming]
61
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,900
- [Gasps]
- Hey!
62
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,300
At that point, as Robert tried to
get away from the bus-station employee,
63
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,800
he accidentally got on the bus
occupied by the freedom riders.
64
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,100
- [Engine turns over]
- Granddad: Take that, you cracker-ass cracker!
65
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:01,900
That's why I [beep] in your bathroom
66
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,200
and used up all your special
white-people quilted toilet paper!
67
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:06,600
[Grumbles]
68
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,600
That was the first time
I saw Robert Freeman...
69
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,300
when he got on the bus.
70
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,300
Now, I remember seeing him for
the first time and thinking,
71
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:21,000
"ooh, he's really frail."
72
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,900
Granddad: I noticed she was reading
Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man",
73
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:29,100
a book I had meant to read many times.
74
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:31,100
I'm sorry about my language.
75
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:34,400
I just... I get so upset at
the injustice of segregation.
76
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,400
It's okay. What happened back there?
77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,300
Granddad: Well, see, I had to go
into the bathroom to take a du... uh,
78
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:41,400
stand against segregation.
79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,300
And they said, "nigga, don't
you dare go into that bathroom."
80
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:46,700
And I said, "you don't scare me, white man.
81
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:48,400
"And my name ain't 'nigga.'
82
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,000
you will address me as 'Mr. Freeman.'"
83
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:52,900
Amazing.
84
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:54,600
I can't believe it.
85
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,300
- Sturdy, did you hear this?
- Yes, I did.
86
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:00,200
Your courage is an inspiration, brother.
87
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,000
Now, leading this particular
bus was the reverend Sturdy Harris,
88
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,700
who was an up-and-coming force
on the civil rights scene.
89
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:09,300
Sturdy was a very physically imposing man,
90
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,700
a grad student at Fisk University,
91
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:13,900
captain of the football team,
totally fearless.
92
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:16,200
This guy was really a superior human being,
93
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,900
completely dedicated
to the cause of justice.
94
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,100
Granddad: Sturdy. Boy, I hated that nigga.
95
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:22,600
Reverend Sturdy Harris.
96
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,500
Granddad: Ow!
97
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:26,200
So, where you from? You in school?
98
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:28,100
So, where is Mr. Freeman traveling to?
99
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:29,800
Granddad: Oh, heading back to Chicago.
100
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Um, Robert, this bus is going south.
101
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,100
Granddad: Huh? No, that's not right.
102
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,900
It's supposed to be going north.
103
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,200
Oh, no. You must have
gotten on the wrong bus.
104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,500
Granddad: Oh, damn it.
Where this bus going?
105
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:46,700
To Birmingham.
106
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:48,900
Granddad: Birmingham?!
[beep] That's the worst!
107
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,300
Let me off! [beep]
108
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:53,100
This is all that white man's fault. Ow!
109
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:56,600
Robert, what if I told you you
weren't meant to be on that other bus?
110
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,500
That God had a plan for you on this bus?
111
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:01,500
Granddad: Well, I don't know
why God is talking to you about me.
112
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,500
God loves me in Chicago.
113
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,900
Robert, have you heard
of the freedom riders?
114
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:08,300
Granddad: Wait, you guys aren't...
115
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:11,600
oh, man, not you guys! I was
leaving town early to avoid y'all!
116
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:13,300
Yes, y'all is we.
117
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:17,900
All:
ain't gonna let
nobody turn me around
118
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:22,100
Turn me around, turn me around
119
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:26,700
Ain't gonna let
nobody turn me around
120
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:31,100
Turn me around, turn me around
121
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,400
Granddad: Well, good luck with
that and all your bus tunes.
122
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,500
I'm going back north.
123
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:35,700
We're just like you, Robert.
124
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,100
We felt like it was time to take a stand.
125
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:39,500
This bus is going to freedom.
126
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:41,500
Granddad: Then we got
to turn this bus around.
127
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:46,300
All:
ain't gonna let
nobody turn me around
128
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:47,500
Granddad: Excuse me for a second.
129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,700
- You with them?
- No.
130
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,300
- Granddad: What are you doing this for?
- Time and a half.
131
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:53,700
Granddad: Can I pay you
double to turn the bus around?
132
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:54,700
No, sir.
133
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:55,800
Granddad: [Whimpers]
134
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,100
All:
turn me around, turn me around
135
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,500
Look, Robert. I know this
may sound crazy to you,
136
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:05,300
but we do have a strategy.
137
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,900
- Granddad: Strategy?
- That's right.
138
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,300
A brilliant strategy. loy.
139
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:10,500
Granddad: Thank God. You
should have said that before.
140
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:12,300
I'm up for strategy. Lay it on me.
141
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:14,200
The most brilliant
strategy ever conceived...
142
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,600
- Nonviolent direct action.
- Granddad: Come again?
143
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400
You confront the oppressor
and his unjust system.
144
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:23,000
Incite him to violence without
resorting to violence yourself.
145
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,800
- Granddad: Why would we do that?
- To prove our moral superiority.
146
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:28,300
- Granddad: So, we make them want to attack us?
- Yes.
147
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:30,100
- Granddad: And then we let them?
- Exactly.
148
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:31,800
- Granddad: And we don't fight back?
- No.
149
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,200
- Granddad: What about self-defense?
- Absolutely not.
150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,700
The only self-defense allowed is singing
and a special kind of nonviolent martial art
151
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,500
which protects your attacker at all times...
152
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,200
"Hard chin, soft hand."
153
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:45,800
Granddad: Do you even hear yourselves?
154
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,700
We are ready for anything, Robert.
155
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:50,100
- They can arrest us, beat us.
- Granddad: Beat us?
156
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:52,800
I think, as a people, we've taken
enough beatings. Don't you think?
157
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,500
Beat us, stab us, sic dogs
on us, light us on fire.
158
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:56,700
Granddad: Light us on fire?!
159
00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:58,000
Not that we're expecting that.
160
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,200
But we are prepared for that to happen.
161
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,100
Granddad: You can't get
prepared to get lit on fire!
162
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:05,400
In defense of Robert, the strategy
of nonviolent direct action,
163
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,500
when you actually think about it,
is completely insane.
164
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:11,400
You have to trust us, Robert.
God is on our side.
165
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,200
There's nothing to be afraid of.
166
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,400
Granddad: No [beep] way.
167
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,700
There's no [beep] way you
gonna get me out there.
168
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:19,200
This is the dumbest [beep]
I've ever heard. I mean it.
169
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:20,900
You're out of your [beep] minds!
170
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:23,100
We're gonna end Jim Crow, Robert.
171
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,800
Granddad: You want to
know how to end Jim Crow?
172
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,700
Get out of the [beep] south!
173
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:28,600
Which is exactly what I'm
gonna do at the next station.
174
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:30,400
Good luck with all this [beep].
175
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Now, the riders were unaware at that point
176
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,300
that they were heading
toward serious danger.
177
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:37,200
Birmingham was the most racist
city in the whole country,
178
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,900
run by a maniac named Bull Connor.
179
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:43,200
I hate niggers! I hate 'em! I hate 'em!
180
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,500
And right next to Bull Connor, helping him
organize this violence against the riders,
181
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:49,300
was an equally despicable man.
182
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,800
Ruckus: The day my hero, Bull Connor,
183
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:55,800
called and asked for my help dealing
with them freedom-ridin' niggas
184
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,400
was the happiest day of my life. [Chuckles]
185
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Granddad: Wait. You mean Ruckus
was at the Birmingham Station?
186
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,900
All this time, I didn't know that.
187
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:05,600
That black sumbitch!
188
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:07,400
Boy, I'ma have to kick
his ass when I see him.
189
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,100
Ruckus: Robert Freeman was there?
190
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:12,000
[Chuckles] Well, ain't that something?
191
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:13,500
Small world.
192
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400
Bull Connor made an
arrangement with the Ku Klux Klan.
193
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:18,800
Their mobs would be allowed 15 minutes
194
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,900
to do anything to the riders
without fear of arrest.
195
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:24,800
Ruckus: Oh, sure. It starts with buses.
196
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,400
But next they will want to
integrate schools and restaurants,
197
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,800
and before you know,
some nigga will want to integrate
198
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:36,400
the sweet pink nether
regions of your white wife
199
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,400
or your white daughter or your dear,
sweet, white grandmother.
200
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,700
Do any of y'all know what a BBC is?
201
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:45,700
All: No!
202
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,600
Ruckus: Ooh, you don't want to know.
203
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,100
It does much damage.
204
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:52,900
You have 15 minutes, 900 seconds,
205
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:57,800
to do whatever your heart desires
to these shiftless black bastards
206
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,400
before the law shows up.
207
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,300
So, I am begging you, white men.
208
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,800
Do not hold back on these niggas.
209
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:09,100
Let the full strength of your
caucasianism rain down upon them!
210
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:11,600
Believe me... they can't do much,
211
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800
but a nigga can take an
ass-whupping, I promise!
212
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,100
They were headed into a trap.
213
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:20,300
When we pulled into the Birmingham station,
214
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:23,300
there was a mob of at
least 200 people there.
215
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,000
The bus was surrounded,
216
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,300
and they were calling
us all kinds of names...
217
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:31,500
nigger, nigger-lover, moon cricket,
free-Lance honey badger.
218
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,600
Listen to that. "Free-Lance honey badger"?
219
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:36,200
I think they were just
making up words after awhile.
220
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:39,000
[Indistinct shouting]
221
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,100
Aah!
222
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,700
We were all pretty scared, and then
sturdy just stood up, and he said...
223
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,900
Brothers and sisters, freedom awaits.
224
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,900
And suddenly, we weren't afraid anymore.
225
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,500
Granddad: [beep] that. I was afraid.
226
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,500
[Shouting continues]
227
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,900
- Brother Freeman, please.
- Granddad: [Grumbles]
228
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:11,200
- You just get your ass back on that bus!
- Hey, nigger-lovers!
229
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,500
- How about some of this, boy?!
- Why don't you crawl back in your hole?!
230
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:17,300
[Grunts]
231
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,700
Please! Please, we don't mean any...
232
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:23,100
Oh, my God! You don't have to!
233
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,900
Oh, God! Oh, God! Help us!
234
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,300
Granddad: [Coughing]
235
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,200
What the hell?
236
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,000
[Coughs]
237
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,000
[Chuckling] Oh, this is perfect.
238
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,300
[Panting] [Gasps] >> Aah!
239
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,500
[Belt cracks]
240
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,400
Granddad: [Grunts]
Not so fast, you cracker!
241
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,600
That's what I said.
I said, "not so fast, you cracker!"
242
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,000
That's actually what he said.
I almost laughed.
243
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:04,900
Granddad: [Growls] [Grunts]
244
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,200
Granddad: [Grunts] >> Aah!
245
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,100
- [Belt cracks]
- [Grunts]
246
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:12,300
Ohh, Robert!
247
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,200
- I'll get you, you black slut!
- [Gasps] [Grunts]
248
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800
- Robert, we're supposed to be nonviolent!
- Granddad: Unh-unh.
249
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:23,900
- Hey, you big, old pickaninny!
- Hold still!
250
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:25,900
You think you can take me? Huh?!
251
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:29,600
- [Grunts]
- Aah!
252
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:35,800
- [Grunts] Ow!
- [Grunts]
253
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,400
- [Belt cracks]
- [Grunts]
254
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,800
Granddad: Ooh!
255
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000
- [Groans]
- That nigger bitch is mine!
256
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Aah!
257
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,300
Granddad: [Grunts] Get
everybody back to the bus!
258
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:51,900
- [Grunts] [Belt cracks]
- [Groans]
259
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Aah!
260
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,900
- No! Aah!
- [Grunts]
261
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,600
- [Grunts]
- Ohh!
262
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Come here, nigger. [Grunts] [Grunts]
263
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:11,400
Ruckus: [Chuckles]
264
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,100
- [Grunts]
- [Belt cracks]
265
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,700
Granddad: What are you doing here?
Get on the bus!
266
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:21,400
We've got to find sturdy and the others.
267
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Granddad: Fine, take this.
268
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,700
- No. We are supposed to be non...
- Granddad: [Grunts] Aah!
269
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,000
- [Gasps]
- [Growls]
270
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,500
[Belt cracks]
271
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,000
[Grunts]
272
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,600
- Robert!
- Aah! Diane!
273
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,700
Aah! Get this [beep] off of me!
274
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:42,000
Diane now confronts a moral
and philosophical dilemma.
275
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:43,900
Will she fight to save Robert,
276
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:46,900
who's getting his freedom [beep] ass
whupped right in front of her eyes?
277
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:49,100
Granddad: And I was yelling...
ooh, was I yelling...
278
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,100
"Woman, what's wrong with
you?! Hit this [beep]."
279
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,100
Help! Hel... aah!
280
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,200
But what about the strategy
of nonviolent direct action?
281
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,100
Granddad: [beep] that [beep].
282
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,200
And I'm ashamed to say I made
up my mind to hit that white man.
283
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:09,000
[Gasps]
284
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,000
[Grunting] Aah! [Growls]
285
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:23,800
Granddad: Nigga, where you been?
286
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,100
[Growls]
287
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:29,000
- Granddad: I got you now, [beep]
- Robert, no!
288
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,500
- [Growls]
- Granddad: Aah!
289
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,000
- Granddad: Nigga, what are you doing?!
- Robert, you have to trust me.
290
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:42,500
[Grunts]
291
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:43,900
Granddad: Nigga, I'm gonna kill you!
292
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:45,500
Turn the other cheek, Robert.
293
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:48,000
- Tell that man he's your brother.
- Granddad: What?!
294
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,300
[Gunshot] >> Whoa! All right, that's it!
295
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:53,900
Y'all had your fun!
296
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,300
You mean I come down here for nothing?
297
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,600
I came down here to beat up a nigger!
298
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
- [Groans]
- Ow.
299
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,300
Oh, what a stunning victory,
brothers and sisters.
300
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:06,700
You not-fought bravely.
301
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:08,000
Granddad: Stunning victory?!
302
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,300
Maybe you haven't been
keeping up on current
303
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:12,300
events, but we just got
our asses kicked, pal.
304
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:13,600
You're gonna get us all killed.
305
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:16,100
Death is a small price to pay for freedom.
306
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,000
Granddad: Well, I say death is a pretty
big [beep] price to pay for anything!
307
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,400
You know what your problem is?
308
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:22,700
You want to die. You got a death wish.
309
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,600
Excuse me?
310
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,900
Granddad: You heard me.
This isn't about freedom.
311
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,900
This is about you. You want
to be a martyr for the cause.
312
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:32,000
Uh, freedom fellers? We got a problem.
313
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,400
This guy won't let me get
around, and I found this.
314
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,200
I think it's for y'all.
315
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,300
The riders were about to see how far
the Klan would go to stop that bus.
316
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:42,900
"Dear niggas...
317
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:45,500
I hope this note finds you well.
318
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:49,200
In the interest of you taking your
agitating black asses
319
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:51,000
back to where you came from,
320
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,200
a bomb has been placed on this bus.
321
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,200
That bomb will detonate if the
bus exceeds 15 miles an hour."
322
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,900
Ruckus: [Chuckles] Oh, that's right.
323
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,600
It was like the opposite of
that cinematic classic "Speed,"
324
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,800
starring the great Keanu Reeves
325
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:08,900
and that American sweetheart,
Sandra Bullock.
326
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:11,900
"If you stop the bus,
the bomb will not explode.
327
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,500
If anyone leaves the bus,
the bomb will not explode."
328
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:20,000
Ruckus: "And if you turn that bus around
and leave decent white folks alone,
329
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,500
then the bomb will not explode."
330
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Huh. If you ask me, I think
that was perfectly reasonable.
331
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,700
Oh, my goodness.
What are we going to do?
332
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:33,800
[Tires screech] [Door hisses]
333
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,900
Sorry, there, freedom fellers...
334
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,500
Time and a half just ain't worth it.
335
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:41,500
Granddad: Well, it's been real...
hope you reach the promised land.
336
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,000
The struggle needs you, Robert.
337
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:44,400
Granddad: Nigga, if you
don't get out of my way...
338
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,900
[beep] I'm mostly Indian
on my mama side, anyway.
339
00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:48,300
I can't let you off this bus, Robert.
340
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,800
Your people are depending on you.
341
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,700
Granddad: You know that's kidnapping, right?
342
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:53,400
I should have called the police on his ass.
343
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,800
But I was like, "let me?
I'm a grown-ass man.
344
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:58,100
I do what the hell I want."
345
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:04,700
No!
346
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:06,600
[Sobbing]
347
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:09,700
No! I want off the bus! Please, let me go!
348
00:17:09,700 --> 00:17:11,900
So, with a bomb on the bus
349
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,200
and Sturdy basically holding Robert captive,
350
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:18,500
the bus continued on toward
Mississippi very slowly.
351
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Granddad: I don't know how
long we were on that bus.
352
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,800
All I know is they kept singing
that same damn song over and over.
353
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,200
All:
ain't gonna let
nobody turn me around
354
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:34,400
Turn me around, turn me around
355
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,500
Ain't gonna let...
356
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:37,800
As we were approaching
the Mississippi state line,
357
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,800
we saw a black car on the side of the road,
358
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,900
and there was a gentleman waving us down.
359
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:44,400
President Kennedy, who
was greatly embarrassed
360
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:46,600
by the controversy generated
by the freedom riders,
361
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,000
had sent a staffer from
the justice department
362
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,900
to intercept the riders before
they got to Mississippi.
363
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:53,900
I'm here to tell you to turn back.
364
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,500
This man informed them that there
was a virtual army of local cops
365
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,800
and state troopers with orders
to shoot the bus on sight.
366
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,800
Thanks for the warning, sir. Let's go.
367
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,100
Granddad: We going home? Finally.
368
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:07,700
No. We're going to Mississippi.
369
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:09,500
Damn it, men. Are you crazy?
370
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,300
Granddad: Yes! He's crazy!
371
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:13,200
And he's holding me hostage. Save me!
372
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,400
Sir, you should know that
we all signed our wills
373
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,000
- before we left for this trip.
- Granddad: I didn't!
374
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,300
She's right. If we stop now,
375
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,100
then those who would oppress us shall know
376
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:26,600
that bats, bombs, and guns
are all they need to scare us.
377
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,000
Granddad: That's all
they need to scare me!
378
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,400
We have wounded. Perhaps
you can take them to get help.
379
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,800
But the three of us... we're going on.
380
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,000
Granddad: No! Please! I don't
want to get back on the bus!
381
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,500
- Fine.
- Granddad: No, not fine! This is not fine!
382
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:41,700
My God, you kids are crazy.
But brave. So brave.
383
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,000
Granddad: What?! No!
384
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,700
No, you're just encouraging them! No!
385
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,000
[Sobbing]
386
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,700
I want to go north!
387
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:57,600
You tell 'em I want 'em
lining the streets, the rooftops,
388
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,300
everywhere you can get 'em.
389
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:02,000
These niggers will not cross the state line.
390
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:04,100
Ruckus?
391
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,600
Ruckus: Brave white men of law enforcement,
392
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,200
you are the last line of defense
393
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,700
for the white man's entire
glorious way of life.
394
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,200
If that bus crosses this line,
395
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,600
it sets off a series of
irreversible changes.
396
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:22,400
First, there will be
integrated diners and bathrooms
397
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,500
and then schools.
398
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:26,600
There will be nigger quarterbacks,
niggers winning Academy Awards,
399
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,800
niggers playing doctors on television,
400
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,600
eventually, even the White
House won't be white.
401
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:38,400
White men, you must stop this bus!
402
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,600
Good. Now scram before someone
shoots your black ass by mistake.
403
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800
Ruckus: Oh, oh, yes, sir, Mr. Bull, sir.
404
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,900
Granddad: [Whimpering]
405
00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:52,000
Turn back. Please, don't do this. Please.
406
00:19:57,900 --> 00:19:59,800
- Open fire!
- [Gunshots]
407
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:01,800
Aah! No! Aah!
408
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,400
Granddad: Please, please, please, please.
409
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,400
Be strong. God will protect us.
410
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:14,700
Granddad: Oh, shut the [beep] up!
411
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:19,300
Aah! [Both screaming]
Please! I'm going north!
412
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:25,800
We're almost there.
413
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:29,000
Keep firing! Keep firing!
414
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,800
[Glass shattering]
415
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,500
[Engine hissing]
416
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,700
Hold it right there.
I'm with the justice department.
417
00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:23,700
And on behalf of the president, I'm here
to ensure these three are not harmed.
418
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:27,200
If they are, you'll be
brought up on federal charges.
419
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,200
Sir, you tell the president
that in the state of Mississippi,
420
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,800
we obey the law.
421
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,700
Good luck. One day, your
nation will thank you.
422
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,300
Granddad: [Exhales deeply] Aah!
423
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:52,700
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around
424
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:57,000
Turn me around, turn me around
425
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,500
Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around
426
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:03,800
Turn me around
427
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,000
- Shut up!
-
Turn me around
428
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:11,300
