00:00:42,526 --> 00:00:44,562
That's me, Bob Zellner,
3
00:00:45,429 --> 00:00:46,564
the one in between.
4
00:00:46,598 --> 00:00:49,366
You've got to keep the white
and the Black separate.
5
00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:52,536
The South was in an uproar
over the Civil Rights Movement
6
00:00:52,570 --> 00:00:55,305
In my town,
Montgomery, Alabama,
7
00:00:55,339 --> 00:00:57,575
five years ago,
there was a bus boycott
8
00:00:57,609 --> 00:01:00,177
which began with the arrest
of Mrs. Rosa Parks
9
00:01:00,210 --> 00:01:02,245
for not giving up her seat
to a white man.
10
00:01:02,279 --> 00:01:03,881
We walk with God.
11
00:01:03,915 --> 00:01:06,350
If we have to walk for a year,
12
00:01:06,383 --> 00:01:09,453
we'll walk until those buses
are no longer segregated.
13
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:10,722
That's what happened.
14
00:01:10,755 --> 00:01:13,223
They walked for a year
and they won.
15
00:01:13,256 --> 00:01:15,525
Some of my people got
pretty ticked off about that.
16
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,396
Have no fear. The Right and
the white will win.
17
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:21,264
And last year
was the sit-ins
18
00:01:21,298 --> 00:01:22,800
to desegregate lunch counters
19
00:01:22,834 --> 00:01:24,102
all across the South.
20
00:01:25,402 --> 00:01:26,871
As you can see,
21
00:01:26,904 --> 00:01:28,906
a lot of white folks
had a short fuse
22
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:30,708
when it came to
the Civil Rights Movement.
23
00:01:30,742 --> 00:01:31,809
Here he is.
24
00:01:31,843 --> 00:01:34,378
This group,
the spark that lit their fuse
25
00:01:34,411 --> 00:01:36,179
was a college paper
I got assigned to do
26
00:01:36,213 --> 00:01:37,314
with four of my friends,
27
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:41,886
a paper on race relations.
28
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:44,789
That's what could
get you killed.
29
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:47,625
A senior paper.
30
00:04:47,572 --> 00:04:50,675
Five months ago,
life was simpler.
31
00:04:50,708 --> 00:04:52,710
Come on, baby. Let's twist.
32
00:04:53,811 --> 00:04:56,479
Wait a minute. Are you even
old enough to drink?
33
00:04:56,513 --> 00:04:57,949
What is this
you got growing right here?
34
00:04:57,982 --> 00:04:59,650
Got dirt on your face?
What is it?
35
00:04:59,684 --> 00:05:02,053
You know, boys, I happen to
think that it looks pretty good.
36
00:05:02,086 --> 00:05:04,021
You know, I got a cat
back in Mississippi.
37
00:05:04,055 --> 00:05:05,022
I could lick that off for you.
38
00:05:05,056 --> 00:05:07,725
Whoa, whoa, look out,
ladies and gentlemen,
39
00:05:07,758 --> 00:05:09,861
we've got a genuine
bona fide scholar.
40
00:05:09,894 --> 00:05:13,430
How does a dumb country boy like
you end up at top of the class?
41
00:05:13,463 --> 00:05:14,999
Hey, school has her favorites.
42
00:05:15,032 --> 00:05:16,734
You should be
ashamed of yourself.
43
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:18,970
To Bob.
44
00:05:19,003 --> 00:05:21,538
Free, white, 21.
45
00:05:21,572 --> 00:05:23,007
I'm not 21 anymore.
46
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,609
Come on, Bob. Let's dance.
47
00:05:24,642 --> 00:05:25,643
- Carol Ann.
- Come on.
48
00:05:27,144 --> 00:05:28,746
Not exactly free, neither.
49
00:05:29,379 --> 00:05:32,650
Boys, look, at his dancing.
50
00:05:32,683 --> 00:05:34,051
He's definitely white.
51
00:05:49,033 --> 00:05:50,868
Okay.
52
00:05:50,902 --> 00:05:52,737
Okay, that's far enough.
53
00:05:53,838 --> 00:05:55,840
- What?
- We have to stop.
54
00:05:57,808 --> 00:05:59,911
Okay. You're right.
55
00:05:59,944 --> 00:06:01,646
You promised.
56
00:06:01,679 --> 00:06:03,080
It won't be long
till we're married.
57
00:06:03,114 --> 00:06:05,149
We just have to be strong.
58
00:06:08,085 --> 00:06:09,587
How do you think she did it?
59
00:06:10,154 --> 00:06:12,857
- Who?
- Joan of Arc.
60
00:06:13,658 --> 00:06:15,458
She wasn't normal.
61
00:06:15,492 --> 00:06:17,094
She didn't think about sex.
62
00:06:17,128 --> 00:06:20,197
No, not, not that. She was
up against everybody
63
00:06:20,231 --> 00:06:21,732
and they burned her
at the stake.
64
00:06:21,766 --> 00:06:24,201
She was a little crazy.
She heard voices.
65
00:06:24,235 --> 00:06:26,570
They told her what to do.
66
00:06:28,072 --> 00:06:30,841
What do your voices
tell you, Bob?
67
00:06:30,875 --> 00:06:34,477
Do they say, "Get your skinny little
white butt to that Black church?
68
00:06:34,511 --> 00:06:37,882
Or do they say,
"Get back in line there, boy?
69
00:06:37,915 --> 00:06:39,817
"The hell do you think
you're doing?"
70
00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:42,186
I already told you.
There's no way.
71
00:06:42,219 --> 00:06:44,655
But all we wanna do is audit
one of their meetings.
72
00:06:44,689 --> 00:06:47,625
Bob, you can't go to
one of their meetings.
73
00:06:47,658 --> 00:06:49,894
The Montgomery Improvement
Association is one of
74
00:06:49,927 --> 00:06:51,662
the most active
civic groups here.
75
00:06:51,696 --> 00:06:54,065
And Miss Rosa Parks is in town
for one of their celebrations.
76
00:06:54,098 --> 00:06:55,132
I forbid this.
77
00:06:55,166 --> 00:06:58,069
You cannot meet with Rosa Parks
or any of them.
78
00:06:58,102 --> 00:06:59,203
Really?
79
00:06:59,236 --> 00:07:02,505
No Black people for
a paper on race relations?
80
00:07:02,539 --> 00:07:04,507
I just didn't see
how we could eliminate
81
00:07:04,541 --> 00:07:06,777
one of the races
the relations were about.
82
00:07:06,811 --> 00:07:08,679
Excuse me, Dr. Abernathy.
83
00:07:09,546 --> 00:07:11,115
My name is Bob Zellner.
84
00:07:11,148 --> 00:07:12,683
This is Townsend Ellis,
85
00:07:12,717 --> 00:07:15,653
John Hill, Joe Thomas
and William Head.
86
00:07:15,686 --> 00:07:17,288
And we are college seniors
working on
87
00:07:17,321 --> 00:07:19,190
our thesis on race relations.
88
00:07:19,223 --> 00:07:21,092
Do you all know Mrs. Parks?
89
00:07:21,125 --> 00:07:22,793
Of course. Yes.
90
00:07:22,827 --> 00:07:25,062
You all attend
the Methodist College?
91
00:07:25,096 --> 00:07:26,564
Yes, ma'am.
92
00:07:26,597 --> 00:07:27,999
They sent you over
to talk to us?
93
00:07:28,032 --> 00:07:30,001
Not exactly.
94
00:07:30,034 --> 00:07:32,269
Not exactly. I see.
95
00:07:32,303 --> 00:07:34,605
We were wondering if we could
ask you a few questions
96
00:07:34,638 --> 00:07:36,539
about the Montgomery
Improvement Association.
97
00:07:36,574 --> 00:07:39,877
Yeah. Well, that is
a laudable endeavor.
98
00:07:39,910 --> 00:07:42,013
We can only hope
that more students
99
00:07:42,046 --> 00:07:44,547
would be willing to tackle
such an important subject.
100
00:07:44,582 --> 00:07:46,984
We were actually wondering if,
with your permission, of course,
101
00:07:47,018 --> 00:07:49,220
we could come to
the celebration at your church.
102
00:07:49,253 --> 00:07:53,124
You do understand the police
might want to arrest you.
103
00:07:53,157 --> 00:07:54,859
Are you all willing to
make that choice?
104
00:07:54,892 --> 00:07:56,694
It ain't anything like that.
105
00:07:56,727 --> 00:07:58,062
We're not trying to
stir up trouble.
106
00:07:58,095 --> 00:07:59,730
Now, now, son.
107
00:07:59,764 --> 00:08:01,799
I'm starting to wonder
if you are aware
108
00:08:01,832 --> 00:08:04,769
of the poison in the apple
that you have bitten into.
109
00:08:04,802 --> 00:08:07,238
You met with him. Talked to him.
110
00:08:07,271 --> 00:08:08,305
Now you got what you want.
111
00:08:08,339 --> 00:08:10,107
Get the paper done.
Hand it in.
112
00:08:13,644 --> 00:08:15,012
You know I'm German.
113
00:08:15,046 --> 00:08:18,049
I've seen the Brownshirts
and the Hitler Youth.
114
00:08:18,082 --> 00:08:20,651
I've seen what people
are capable of.
115
00:08:21,719 --> 00:08:23,788
You've got to
protect yourself.
116
00:08:25,756 --> 00:08:28,859
I'm glad to see today
that we are once again,
117
00:08:28,893 --> 00:08:30,728
blessed with the company of
118
00:08:30,761 --> 00:08:33,097
State Investigator
Willy B. Painter
119
00:08:33,130 --> 00:08:34,565
and Officer Fuller.
120
00:08:34,598 --> 00:08:39,270
Today we have come together in the
Brick-a-Day First Baptist Church.
121
00:08:39,303 --> 00:08:42,106
And I don't think
the assembled would mind
122
00:08:42,139 --> 00:08:45,176
if I lend a welcoming hand
123
00:08:45,209 --> 00:08:49,980
and thank you for so lovingly
recording our messages
124
00:08:50,014 --> 00:08:51,315
for Governor Patterson.
125
00:08:51,348 --> 00:08:54,051
- Amen. Mm-hmm.
- Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
126
00:08:54,085 --> 00:08:58,689
And as long as the governor
is now listening,
127
00:08:58,722 --> 00:09:03,694
I'd like to ask the governor
if he is aware
128
00:09:03,727 --> 00:09:08,199
of the great economic strides
made here in Montgomery
129
00:09:08,232 --> 00:09:11,735
since the success of the boycott
five years ago.
130
00:09:14,672 --> 00:09:19,910
It appears that freedom is not
only good for the Negro
131
00:09:19,944 --> 00:09:21,846
- in Montgomery...
- That's right.
132
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:25,249
...but the white population
benefits from it as well.
133
00:09:25,282 --> 00:09:27,885
And I'd like to
tell the governor
134
00:09:27,918 --> 00:09:30,621
that we are glad to help.
135
00:09:31,922 --> 00:09:33,824
But please don't be alarmed.
136
00:09:34,125 --> 00:09:35,326
Yes, sir.
137
00:09:35,359 --> 00:09:39,130
The bus boycott was
only the beginning.
138
00:09:39,163 --> 00:09:44,702
We intend to benefit Montgomery
much more from now on.
139
00:09:54,979 --> 00:09:58,749
It appears the police have
surrounded the church.
140
00:09:58,782 --> 00:09:59,984
What do they want?
141
00:10:00,017 --> 00:10:02,353
They've come to arrest you
and your friends.
142
00:10:02,386 --> 00:10:03,287
For what?
143
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,023
If I recollect,
we had this conversation.
144
00:10:06,056 --> 00:10:07,291
They can't arrest us.
145
00:10:07,324 --> 00:10:10,961
The Montgomery Police Department
might not do many things well,
146
00:10:10,995 --> 00:10:14,732
but arresting white boys for
attending Black churches,
147
00:10:14,765 --> 00:10:16,300
they do extremely well.
148
00:10:16,333 --> 00:10:18,135
We're just doing
research for a paper.
149
00:10:18,169 --> 00:10:20,304
Yeah. I mean, we haven't
chosen any sides here.
150
00:10:20,337 --> 00:10:23,874
I'm not so sure
the powers that be
151
00:10:23,908 --> 00:10:25,276
will so readily agree.
152
00:10:25,309 --> 00:10:28,078
Please. We gotta get out of this
some way.
153
00:10:31,782 --> 00:10:33,284
There's a back door
to the church.
154
00:10:33,717 --> 00:10:34,685
I'll go out front
155
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:36,787
and draw everybody's attention
around there.
156
00:10:40,391 --> 00:10:42,927
Y'all, come on. John. Eugene.
157
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,428
Y'all get up here
a little closer.
158
00:10:44,461 --> 00:10:46,197
As you all are aware...
159
00:10:51,202 --> 00:10:54,171
Today we have come together
to honor
160
00:10:54,205 --> 00:10:57,841
what became known as
the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
161
00:10:59,043 --> 00:11:00,044
Come on.
162
00:11:01,412 --> 00:11:02,413
Thank you.
163
00:11:03,214 --> 00:11:04,515
Thank you.
164
00:11:04,548 --> 00:11:08,252
You know, there's gonna
come a time when...
165
00:11:08,285 --> 00:11:11,255
something really bad happens
right in front of you,
166
00:11:11,288 --> 00:11:14,425
and you're gonna have to decide
which side you're on.
167
00:11:14,458 --> 00:11:18,262
Not choosing is a choice.
168
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:32,543
Good. Good, Doc.
169
00:11:32,577 --> 00:11:34,378
Keep that guard up.
Good job, buddy.
170
00:11:34,411 --> 00:11:35,913
- Yeah.
- Good job.
171
00:11:35,946 --> 00:11:37,915
- Good work, Doc. Well done.
- Thank you. Thanks.
172
00:11:37,948 --> 00:11:40,484
Hey, Bob, get in here.
173
00:11:42,052 --> 00:11:43,087
Don't worry about it.
174
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,755
You're not gonna need that.
Come on.
175
00:11:49,526 --> 00:11:51,929
I hear the school's gonna
get you for leading some kind of
176
00:11:51,962 --> 00:11:53,264
Martin Luther Coon rally.
177
00:11:54,431 --> 00:11:55,567
What are you talking about,
Coach?
178
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,969
It's Reverend.
I ain't your coach.
179
00:12:00,104 --> 00:12:03,841
Now, what Bob and I here
are gonna demonstrate for you
180
00:12:03,874 --> 00:12:06,076
is the importance of
keeping your guard up.
181
00:12:07,244 --> 00:12:08,946
- Oh!
- You see?
182
00:12:09,513 --> 00:12:11,181
He let his guard down.
183
00:12:11,215 --> 00:12:12,549
Put your hands up, boy.
184
00:12:14,852 --> 00:12:17,187
What's that about?
You can't take it?
185
00:12:17,221 --> 00:12:18,989
What, you don't know
how to hit back?
186
00:12:19,023 --> 00:12:20,224
I can hit back.
187
00:12:26,297 --> 00:12:27,331
Hey!
188
00:12:27,364 --> 00:12:29,601
The niggers are making you soft.
189
00:12:29,634 --> 00:12:31,368
You can't at least
try to fight back?
190
00:12:31,402 --> 00:12:33,237
I'll try anything three times.
191
00:12:37,408 --> 00:12:38,576
Hey!
192
00:12:38,610 --> 00:12:40,077
How's that, Reverend?
193
00:12:40,110 --> 00:12:41,512
- Is that soft enough for you?
- Hey, hey!
194
00:12:41,545 --> 00:12:43,213
Back off.
195
00:12:43,247 --> 00:12:45,316
Jesus! What the hell you doing?
He's an old man.
196
00:12:45,349 --> 00:12:46,884
You could kill him.
197
00:12:46,917 --> 00:12:49,086
Okay. Come on. Come on.
198
00:12:57,494 --> 00:12:59,631
As the duly elected
Attorney General
199
00:12:59,664 --> 00:13:01,332
of the great State of Alabama,
200
00:13:01,365 --> 00:13:02,734
I look at you and I ask myself
201
00:13:02,767 --> 00:13:08,339
what makes five young, upstanding
Southern scholars like yourselves
202
00:13:08,372 --> 00:13:12,009
go march and sit in
203
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:16,213
and demonstrate
and generally disrupt the peace?
204
00:13:17,414 --> 00:13:19,116
Excuse me, son.
You have to speak up.
205
00:13:19,149 --> 00:13:21,185
We never did any of that.
206
00:13:21,218 --> 00:13:23,621
March, sit in, demonstrate.
207
00:13:23,655 --> 00:13:26,658
You have fallen under
the influence of the communists.
208
00:13:26,691 --> 00:13:28,392
There's communists in Alabama?
209
00:13:28,425 --> 00:13:31,596
Well, no.
210
00:13:31,629 --> 00:13:33,330
But they come through here.
211
00:13:33,364 --> 00:13:36,033
I'm gonna read you a list of
names and I want you to tell me
212
00:13:36,066 --> 00:13:38,435
which ones you've met with.
213
00:13:38,469 --> 00:13:40,304
Virginia and Clifford Durr,
214
00:13:41,673 --> 00:13:43,540
Anne and Carl Braden,
215
00:13:45,142 --> 00:13:47,144
Aubrey Williams.
216
00:13:47,177 --> 00:13:48,445
Do you know these individuals?
217
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:50,948
- No.
- No, sir, I don't.
218
00:13:50,981 --> 00:13:52,349
None of them are in Alabama?
219
00:13:52,383 --> 00:13:53,618
Well, the Durrs are here.
220
00:13:53,651 --> 00:13:58,355
Now you boys
are being expelled.
221
00:13:58,389 --> 00:14:00,924
- What?
- Asked to leave.
222
00:14:00,958 --> 00:14:04,495
All right. Asked to leave.
223
00:14:05,764 --> 00:14:09,299
For the sake of the college,
we have negotiated a resolution.
224
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:12,536
You will not be charged
with any crimes
225
00:14:12,570 --> 00:14:15,139
if you resign from school
226
00:14:15,172 --> 00:14:17,541
and leave the city of Montgomery
immediately.
227
00:14:17,575 --> 00:14:20,144
School has agreed to this.
I think it's more than fair.
228
00:14:20,177 --> 00:14:22,680
I have no idea
what crimes we've committed.
229
00:14:22,714 --> 00:14:25,282
So I see no crime for which
we could be charged.
230
00:14:25,315 --> 00:14:27,418
There are two members
of this group who have achieved
231
00:14:27,451 --> 00:14:29,621
the highest scholastic honors
given by this institution.
232
00:14:29,654 --> 00:14:34,091
Now, this close to graduation,
I will not voluntarily leave.
233
00:14:34,124 --> 00:14:36,994
I think you're making
a mistake there, son.
234
00:14:37,027 --> 00:14:38,563
Look at there.
235
00:14:38,596 --> 00:14:41,198
This is what this was all about,
wasn't it?
236
00:14:41,231 --> 00:14:43,434
You're a big man now.
You're on the front page.
237
00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:44,968
You think I put us in the paper?
238
00:14:45,002 --> 00:14:46,470
You don't care who you ruined.
239
00:14:46,503 --> 00:14:49,473
Townsend, I never called
the paper. I swear.
240
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,341
I just can't imagine why
241
00:14:51,375 --> 00:14:52,677
everybody's drawers
are in an uproar.
242
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:55,145
We're in Alabama.
243
00:14:55,179 --> 00:14:57,548
But don't you think
this is its own shade of crazy?
244
00:14:57,582 --> 00:14:59,082
I mean, what the hell do we do?
245
00:14:59,116 --> 00:15:00,718
You did what you did
246
00:15:00,752 --> 00:15:02,252
and drug me and John
in it with you.
247
00:15:02,286 --> 00:15:04,622
And what did I do, Townsend?
Exactly what did I do?
248
00:15:04,656 --> 00:15:07,024
You know, for a big boy,
you sure are shit scared
249
00:15:07,057 --> 00:15:08,125
of your own shadow sometimes.
250
00:15:08,158 --> 00:15:11,195
Hey, Zellner. Ku Klux Klan's
about to march on campus
251
00:15:11,228 --> 00:15:12,429
because of what you did.
252
00:15:12,463 --> 00:15:14,531
Professor Kleiner's got a whole
bunch of boys down yonder.
253
00:15:14,566 --> 00:15:16,734
Come on, man, we gotta go.
Shit's about to hit the fan.
254
00:15:29,313 --> 00:15:32,049
Those rowdies
have been telling us
255
00:15:32,082 --> 00:15:35,419
to send
the "nigger lovers" over.
256
00:15:35,452 --> 00:15:38,288
That's outta line, Bob,
calling you a "nigger lover."
257
00:15:38,322 --> 00:15:39,223
That's all that happened?
258
00:15:39,256 --> 00:15:42,326
No, no, no. They tried to
come on campus.
259
00:15:42,359 --> 00:15:43,628
They wanted to get
all five of us.
260
00:15:43,661 --> 00:15:46,263
They called you sons of
you know what.
261
00:15:46,296 --> 00:15:48,666
We told them you're definitely
sons of you-know-what,
262
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:50,434
but you're our sons of
you-know-what.
263
00:15:50,467 --> 00:15:53,170
And no one's coming on campus
to do anything to anybody.
264
00:15:53,203 --> 00:15:55,740
This ain't right. I'm gonna go
straighten these boys out.
265
00:15:56,841 --> 00:15:58,041
Bobby!
266
00:15:59,543 --> 00:16:01,278
Grandaddy?
267
00:16:01,311 --> 00:16:02,513
Bobby, you're looking thin.
268
00:16:02,546 --> 00:16:04,314
Grandaddy, what are you doing
out here?
269
00:16:04,348 --> 00:16:05,215
They figured out who was who
270
00:16:05,249 --> 00:16:08,318
and they called me down
from Birmingham.
271
00:16:08,352 --> 00:16:11,556
They tell me you went to some,
uh, nigger convention
272
00:16:11,589 --> 00:16:14,324
- or demonstration or something.
- Wasn't anything like that.
273
00:16:14,358 --> 00:16:17,595
We're just doing a paper
for our professor over there.
274
00:16:17,629 --> 00:16:20,163
So this is all about
school work?
275
00:16:20,197 --> 00:16:22,132
- Is that what you're telling me?
- Yeah.
276
00:16:24,301 --> 00:16:26,169
Did you burn that cross
under our dorm room?
277
00:16:26,203 --> 00:16:27,739
Bob, you should know
better than that.
278
00:16:29,574 --> 00:16:30,608
But I'm gonna
tell you something.
279
00:16:30,642 --> 00:16:32,109
Some of these old boys
around here,
280
00:16:32,142 --> 00:16:33,477
they really mean to
do you some harm.
281
00:16:33,510 --> 00:16:35,112
It's good they didn't
catch me alone.
282
00:16:35,145 --> 00:16:37,147
Do you think that professor
saved you?
283
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:38,616
Have enough of those boys that,
284
00:16:38,650 --> 00:16:41,819
they killed their share of Nazis
back in the big one.
285
00:16:41,853 --> 00:16:43,487
I don't think one more
dead Kraut
286
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,789
would bother them very much.
287
00:16:45,857 --> 00:16:47,424
I stopped them, Bob.
288
00:16:47,457 --> 00:16:50,260
Daddy, Daddy,
just hold it right there.
289
00:16:50,294 --> 00:16:52,462
It's all your fault.
You know that, don't you?
290
00:16:52,496 --> 00:16:55,165
- That's my fault?
- You're goddamn right, it is.
291
00:16:55,198 --> 00:16:58,603
Taught this boy right from wrong
right from the get-go,
292
00:16:58,636 --> 00:17:00,504
he wouldn't have gotten himself
into any trouble.
293
00:17:00,537 --> 00:17:02,506
I wouldn't have to be down here
trying to get him out of it.
294
00:17:02,539 --> 00:17:04,876
So when did it become a capital
offense to go to church?
295
00:17:04,909 --> 00:17:06,209
White or colored?
296
00:17:08,378 --> 00:17:11,281
I'm heading back up to
Birmingham a little while.
297
00:17:11,315 --> 00:17:12,449
All right.
298
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:18,355
Look around you, Townsend,
we've got support.
299
00:17:18,388 --> 00:17:19,857
Nobody has to leave school.
300
00:17:19,891 --> 00:17:21,491
No,
you got support, Bob.
301
00:17:21,525 --> 00:17:24,294
If the Klan or school touches
a hair on your head,
302
00:17:24,328 --> 00:17:26,196
your daddy will show up
with 20 liberal preachers
303
00:17:26,229 --> 00:17:27,899
to protect
your skinny little ass.
304
00:17:27,932 --> 00:17:29,366
No offense, Mr. Zellner.
305
00:17:29,399 --> 00:17:31,401
I'm here for you too, son.
306
00:17:31,435 --> 00:17:33,437
It's a nice thought, sir,
but it's not altogether true.
307
00:17:34,371 --> 00:17:36,340
The rest of us, we're leaving.
308
00:17:36,373 --> 00:17:39,911
We're going back to Mobile
and Union Springs and Dothan.
309
00:17:39,944 --> 00:17:42,212
What do you think our families
are gonna do when we get there?
310
00:17:42,245 --> 00:17:44,448
Gonna help pick out the limb
the Klan's gonna hang us from.
311
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:46,618
I know it looks scary from
where you're standing right now.
312
00:17:46,651 --> 00:17:48,218
You got options, Bob.
313
00:17:48,251 --> 00:17:51,355
That's why in your head,
this is just some big game.
314
00:17:51,388 --> 00:17:54,358
You do not have the commitment
of someone like Rosa Parks.
315
00:17:54,391 --> 00:17:57,527
You're going off to some
impressive school in the fall.
316
00:17:57,562 --> 00:17:59,797
- Full scholarship.
- Yeah, and I worked hard for that.
317
00:17:59,831 --> 00:18:00,732
Yeah, so did I. Bob.
318
00:18:00,765 --> 00:18:02,299
Which one do you think
you're gonna pick?
319
00:18:03,233 --> 00:18:06,269
- Yale? Princeton?
- Harvard?
320
00:18:08,372 --> 00:18:10,407
You'll have a hell of a story
to tell 'em when you get there.
321
00:18:11,475 --> 00:18:12,476
Excuse me.
322
00:18:40,537 --> 00:18:43,473
Virginia and Clifford Durr.
323
00:18:46,978 --> 00:18:48,713
This is where they live?
324
00:18:49,446 --> 00:18:50,447
Wow.
325
00:19:05,763 --> 00:19:06,998
Hello.
You've reached the Durrs.
326
00:19:07,031 --> 00:19:09,634
Mrs. Durr,
my name is Bob Zellner,
327
00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:12,502
and I'm a student
over at Huntingdon College.
328
00:19:14,672 --> 00:19:18,676
Everybody, everybody,
here he is!
329
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:20,678
Mr. Bob Zellner
330
00:19:20,712 --> 00:19:23,581
of the illustrious
Huntingdon farm.
331
00:19:23,614 --> 00:19:26,017
Bob, I am so glad you called.
332
00:19:26,050 --> 00:19:29,587
I'm Virginia. This is my...
my husband, Clifford.
333
00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:31,455
- And you are?
- I'm Carol Ann Dunlap,
334
00:19:31,488 --> 00:19:32,890
Bob's fiance.
335
00:19:32,924 --> 00:19:34,959
- Hello, Bob.
- Mrs. Parks.
336
00:19:34,992 --> 00:19:37,260
Uh, and this is Aubrey Williams
337
00:19:37,294 --> 00:19:39,931
and his Yankee assistant
for the summer,
338
00:19:39,964 --> 00:19:41,833
Mr. Derek Ang.
339
00:19:41,866 --> 00:19:43,668
- The Communist.
- I know.
340
00:19:43,701 --> 00:19:46,369
- Where you from, Carol Ann?
- Union Springs.
341
00:19:46,403 --> 00:19:49,272
Any relationship to
Martin Dunlap?
342
00:19:49,306 --> 00:19:50,540
He's my grandaddy.
343
00:19:52,309 --> 00:19:54,779
Looks like you're moving up
in the world, Mr. Zellner.
344
00:19:56,581 --> 00:19:59,549
Well, y'all sure are stirring
up the Methodist wasp nest
345
00:19:59,584 --> 00:20:01,351
pretty good over there
at the college.
346
00:20:01,384 --> 00:20:02,620
Well, they're doing
all the stirring.
347
00:20:02,653 --> 00:20:04,021
We're just trying to
stay out of the way.
348
00:20:04,055 --> 00:20:05,189
A bunch of hypocrites.
349
00:20:05,223 --> 00:20:07,825
They stripped his right to give
the commencement speech.
350
00:20:07,859 --> 00:20:09,927
They'd like to kick him out
altogether.
351
00:20:09,961 --> 00:20:12,429
You know,
Clifford is an attorney.
352
00:20:13,030 --> 00:20:14,065
A lawyer?
353
00:20:14,098 --> 00:20:15,398
That's what they keep
telling me.
354
00:20:16,634 --> 00:20:20,004
Sir, over and over,
I get the feeling we broke the law.
355
00:20:20,037 --> 00:20:21,538
Because you did.
356
00:20:21,572 --> 00:20:22,940
- What law is that?
- Mm.
357
00:20:22,974 --> 00:20:25,843
They broke the law that
people don't have the rights
358
00:20:25,877 --> 00:20:28,980
to do anything the Ku Klux Klan
doesn't want them to do.
359
00:20:29,013 --> 00:20:30,848
Bunch of cowards.
360
00:20:30,882 --> 00:20:35,318
We have fought far tougher
enemies than them.
361
00:20:35,352 --> 00:20:37,387
We're still having
so much trouble with
362
00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:41,391
all these silly, scared
white men hiding under hoods.
363
00:20:41,424 --> 00:20:42,760
I just don't understand it.
364
00:20:42,794 --> 00:20:46,363
Well, if you understand
the Southern mind...
365
00:20:46,396 --> 00:20:48,099
Clifford, I believe
I have a Southern mind,
366
00:20:48,132 --> 00:20:50,101
and I believe I have
an understanding of it.
367
00:20:50,134 --> 00:20:53,871
Everybody here, with
the exception of Derek Ang,
368
00:20:53,905 --> 00:20:55,740
has a Southern mind.
369
00:20:55,773 --> 00:20:58,743
Even Bob knows
he broke the law of the KKK.
370
00:20:58,776 --> 00:21:00,978
Bob's more like you,
Mrs. Parks,
371
00:21:01,012 --> 00:21:03,346
when you refused to get up
from your seat.
372
00:21:03,380 --> 00:21:05,716
He didn't think all this was
gonna lead to anything.
373
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:09,419
Yeah, I was just
a poor little seamstress
374
00:21:09,452 --> 00:21:10,955
tired from her day.
375
00:21:13,024 --> 00:21:14,391
Am I missing something?
376
00:21:15,159 --> 00:21:16,861
Are you saying...
377
00:21:16,894 --> 00:21:18,361
you knew
what you were doing?
378
00:21:18,395 --> 00:21:20,097
You think I am a child?
379
00:21:21,531 --> 00:21:24,068
We had to change
the bus laws.
380
00:21:24,101 --> 00:21:27,504
Therefore, somebody
had to refuse to get up.
381
00:21:27,537 --> 00:21:28,673
You knew, getting on that bus,
382
00:21:28,706 --> 00:21:30,107
that you were
gonna get arrested.
383
00:21:30,141 --> 00:21:32,844
Well, not that
particular bus and...
384
00:21:32,877 --> 00:21:36,513
I wasn't sure
I'd ever do it, but still...
385
00:21:36,546 --> 00:21:39,584
pretty interested to see
what rights I had or not.
386
00:21:39,617 --> 00:21:42,553
A lot of it was worked out
at Highlander.
387
00:21:42,587 --> 00:21:45,623
I read that Tennessee is
trying to shut the school down.
388
00:21:45,656 --> 00:21:47,024
- Oh, again?
- Highlander?
389
00:21:47,058 --> 00:21:50,127
It's a center
where people, Black and white,
390
00:21:50,161 --> 00:21:52,495
from all across the South
391
00:21:52,529 --> 00:21:57,168
come to work and study
political action together.
392
00:21:57,201 --> 00:21:58,501
And you've been up there?
393
00:21:58,535 --> 00:22:00,503
Oh, we've all been.
That's right.
394
00:22:01,672 --> 00:22:04,041
I really did know
what I was doing.
395
00:22:04,075 --> 00:22:05,910
Maybe you'll be up there soon.
396
00:22:05,943 --> 00:22:07,845
I'm sorry,
but I won't be going anywhere
397
00:22:07,879 --> 00:22:10,547
but up north
for graduate school in the fall.
398
00:22:10,581 --> 00:22:13,450
Is that so important
for you to do it right away?
399
00:22:13,483 --> 00:22:14,852
Yes, ma'am, it is.
400
00:22:14,886 --> 00:22:17,154
I mean, most of my family didn't
even make it through high school.
401
00:22:17,188 --> 00:22:19,790
So getting to go off
on a full scholarship
402
00:22:19,824 --> 00:22:21,993
to get a masters is
a pretty big deal.
403
00:22:22,026 --> 00:22:24,461
He has already
jeopardized that once.
404
00:22:24,494 --> 00:22:28,199
When we read about you
in the papers,
405
00:22:28,232 --> 00:22:30,533
we thought
we'd found somebody.
406
00:22:30,568 --> 00:22:32,637
Find somebody like who?
407
00:22:32,670 --> 00:22:35,538
We have a need
for somebody like Bob,
408
00:22:35,573 --> 00:22:38,843
somebody who could speak
to other white students
409
00:22:38,876 --> 00:22:40,144
throughout the South.
410
00:22:40,177 --> 00:22:43,681
I'm sure that's needed,
but we do have plans
411
00:22:43,714 --> 00:22:46,784
and none of them include
Bob ending up in jail.
412
00:22:46,817 --> 00:22:49,519
Things have got
to change, Bob.
413
00:22:49,553 --> 00:22:50,988
Mm-hm.
- I know you know that.
414
00:22:51,022 --> 00:22:53,090
I think we both know
that things have to change,
415
00:22:53,991 --> 00:22:55,092
don't we, Carol Ann?
416
00:22:56,661 --> 00:22:58,763
But maybe there's a better way.
417
00:22:58,796 --> 00:23:00,865
Without risking too much?
418
00:23:00,898 --> 00:23:03,466
Maybe. I mean,
we do live in a democracy.
419
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:05,636
It's a republic, actually,
420
00:23:05,670 --> 00:23:08,139
which is what Germany was
when Hitler rose to power.
421
00:23:08,172 --> 00:23:10,741
In 1939, in Nazi Germany,
422
00:23:10,775 --> 00:23:14,578
they had a law that said all the Jews
were supposed to pack up their bags
423
00:23:14,612 --> 00:23:16,013
and get down
to the train depot.
424
00:23:17,615 --> 00:23:19,449
Now that seems like
a pretty good law to break,
425
00:23:20,151 --> 00:23:21,819
wouldn't you say?
426
00:23:21,852 --> 00:23:23,120
Where are you from?
427
00:23:23,154 --> 00:23:24,989
I'm from New York.
428
00:23:25,022 --> 00:23:27,892
But if you're looking
for somewhere more exotic,
429
00:23:27,925 --> 00:23:29,727
my family came over
from California.
430
00:23:32,529 --> 00:23:35,532
Well, what are you doing
all the way down here?
431
00:23:35,566 --> 00:23:38,202
Trying to find out where
they buried freedom, brother.
432
00:23:38,235 --> 00:23:39,469
What are you doing here?
433
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,610
Well, that woman
was a handful.
434
00:23:46,644 --> 00:23:51,649
How arrogant to decide the fate
of people you never even met.
435
00:23:51,682 --> 00:23:54,552
We had our lives
all planned out for us in there.
436
00:23:55,853 --> 00:23:57,989
I did something
with somebody once.
437
00:24:00,057 --> 00:24:01,892
What are you talking about?
438
00:24:01,926 --> 00:24:04,862
I got in the wrong car
one day, and...
439
00:24:04,895 --> 00:24:06,163
we went nigger knocking.
440
00:24:14,805 --> 00:24:16,841
Ooh! You got her.
441
00:24:16,874 --> 00:24:18,876
Yeah, but the sumbitches
just broke my stick.
442
00:24:18,909 --> 00:24:20,211
Yeah, but what do you expect?
443
00:24:20,244 --> 00:24:22,213
That ain't a real
nigger-knocking stick.
444
00:24:22,246 --> 00:24:23,881
We got a bat in the back.
Boys, do you see it?
445
00:24:23,914 --> 00:24:25,282
You can hardly
hit 'em with this.
446
00:24:25,316 --> 00:24:26,784
Yeah, but when you do...
447
00:24:26,817 --> 00:24:27,852
Lookie there.
448
00:24:30,054 --> 00:24:32,023
Skeeter, get that bat.
Get that, boy.
449
00:24:35,092 --> 00:24:36,127
Get him.
450
00:24:36,660 --> 00:24:37,762
Ah! You missed him.
451
00:24:37,795 --> 00:24:40,664
- But he fell.
- Yeah, well, you still missed him.
452
00:24:44,335 --> 00:24:46,904
See that coon up there, Bob?
453
00:24:46,937 --> 00:24:49,573
- Yeah, I see him.
- I want you to get him.
454
00:24:49,607 --> 00:24:51,208
I don't know about this.
455
00:24:51,242 --> 00:24:53,711
You don't know?
What's there to know?
456
00:24:53,744 --> 00:24:55,146
About this sort of thing.
457
00:24:55,179 --> 00:24:58,582
Hey, this is in your blood.
458
00:24:58,616 --> 00:25:00,117
All right? This is where
you belong, boy.
459
00:25:01,385 --> 00:25:02,920
You grab that bat
and you do what's right.
460
00:25:02,953 --> 00:25:04,088
Bob, you gotta do this.
461
00:25:04,121 --> 00:25:05,189
I don't think so.
462
00:25:05,222 --> 00:25:08,359
Skeeter, you told me
he was the right kind of guy.
463
00:25:08,392 --> 00:25:10,928
Is he? Is he the right
kind of guy?
464
00:25:10,961 --> 00:25:12,696
Bob.
465
00:25:12,730 --> 00:25:14,131
Take the goddamn bat.
466
00:25:14,832 --> 00:25:16,067
Take it.
467
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:18,702
You don't get that nigger,
we're gonna use that bat on you.
468
00:25:35,986 --> 00:25:37,655
How bad did you hurt
that kid?
469
00:25:37,688 --> 00:25:38,689
Bad.
470
00:25:54,138 --> 00:25:56,740
Hey! Hey!
471
00:25:58,209 --> 00:25:59,977
Need some help?
472
00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:01,178
You look like
you need some help.
473
00:26:03,347 --> 00:26:04,381
What's your game?
474
00:26:05,916 --> 00:26:08,385
No game.
Just being friendly.
475
00:26:10,754 --> 00:26:11,989
I know you
from somewhere?
476
00:26:12,022 --> 00:26:13,991
I-I don't think so.
477
00:26:14,024 --> 00:26:15,826
I got a bike
with a basket on it though.
478
00:26:16,393 --> 00:26:17,394
I see.
479
00:26:19,964 --> 00:26:21,165
What happened to your arm?
480
00:26:22,032 --> 00:26:23,033
I fell.
481
00:26:24,401 --> 00:26:26,203
I should've told him
it was me.
482
00:26:26,237 --> 00:26:28,706
I should have apologized,
but it's...
483
00:26:28,739 --> 00:26:30,741
hard to explain
to a perfect stranger
484
00:26:30,774 --> 00:26:33,878
why you do something
as senseless as that.
485
00:26:33,911 --> 00:26:35,779
I don't even know
why I did it.
486
00:26:35,813 --> 00:26:37,014
I was just...
487
00:26:37,982 --> 00:26:39,984
scared, I guess, but...
488
00:26:42,286 --> 00:26:43,721
looking at that boy...
489
00:26:45,389 --> 00:26:47,825
I wish it was me
they had beaten with that bat.
490
00:26:50,928 --> 00:26:52,930
We will continue
our Freedom Ride
491
00:26:52,963 --> 00:26:55,032
from Birmingham
and onto Montgomery.
492
00:26:55,065 --> 00:26:56,500
And from there,
we plan to travel
493
00:26:56,534 --> 00:27:00,204
all the way to New Orleans with
a stop in Jackson, Mississippi.
494
00:27:00,237 --> 00:27:01,238
And do you expect
495
00:27:01,272 --> 00:27:04,175
the authorities in these cities
to allow that?
496
00:27:04,208 --> 00:27:08,012
Uh, I'm not certain
about the local authorities.
497
00:27:08,045 --> 00:27:10,347
We are testing the resolve
of the federal government
498
00:27:10,381 --> 00:27:13,717
to enforce the Interstate
Commerce Commission ruling,
499
00:27:13,751 --> 00:27:18,122
which gives each and every American citizen
the right to use the facilities equally.
500
00:27:18,155 --> 00:27:20,758
Aren't you concerned
that they'll burn this bus
501
00:27:20,791 --> 00:27:23,894
the same way they burned one
in Anniston just two days ago?
502
00:27:23,928 --> 00:27:25,863
Acting like he's as good
as me.
503
00:27:27,531 --> 00:27:29,934
Well, I didn't take care
of the yellow bastards in Korea
504
00:27:29,967 --> 00:27:32,236
to be pushed around
by the Black ones back here.
505
00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:35,172
Weren't you a medic, Doc?
506
00:27:36,540 --> 00:27:38,876
Yes, I was.
507
00:27:38,909 --> 00:27:40,911
And I even saved some of
those Black sons of guns
508
00:27:40,945 --> 00:27:42,379
when they got
themselves shot up.
509
00:27:42,413 --> 00:27:44,148
Drug one, must have been
200 pounds,
510
00:27:44,181 --> 00:27:45,249
the length
of a football field.
511
00:27:45,282 --> 00:27:47,017
Bullets whizzing all
around our heads.
512
00:27:48,085 --> 00:27:50,221
Yeah, you do
crazy things in war.
513
00:27:50,254 --> 00:27:52,223
But we are not
in the war now.
514
00:27:52,256 --> 00:27:53,991
How do you feel generally
515
00:27:54,024 --> 00:27:55,993
about Freedom Riders
and groups like that?
516
00:27:56,026 --> 00:27:57,928
I think they're just
asking for trouble.
517
00:27:57,962 --> 00:27:59,330
It's not gonna last too long
518
00:27:59,363 --> 00:28:02,166
before the people down here get
a little antagonized with it,
519
00:28:02,199 --> 00:28:04,034
and they're gonna take it
into their own hands.
520
00:28:04,068 --> 00:28:07,204
I just think we ought to have
open season on all of 'em.
521
00:28:07,238 --> 00:28:09,406
Freedom Riders are waiting
for a bus to take them
522
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,308
to their next stop,
Montgomery, Alabama.
523
00:28:11,342 --> 00:28:12,376
Where are you going?
524
00:28:12,409 --> 00:28:13,811
Are they crazy?
525
00:28:13,844 --> 00:28:16,447
Montgomery's gonna make Anniston
look like a Sunday go-to meeting.
526
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,383
We already set up to create
as much protection as possible
527
00:28:19,416 --> 00:28:20,517
for them when they arrive.
528
00:28:20,551 --> 00:28:22,119
You got guns?
529
00:28:22,152 --> 00:28:23,887
We're gonna meet the bus
530
00:28:23,921 --> 00:28:26,857
and get everybody
into automobiles into safety
531
00:28:26,890 --> 00:28:28,158
just as quick as possible.
532
00:28:29,526 --> 00:28:32,396
I was hoping
that you might wanna volunteer.
533
00:28:32,429 --> 00:28:34,098
You must think
I've lost my mind.
534
00:28:34,131 --> 00:28:36,200
I'm going to go down and
meet 'em when they get here.
535
00:28:36,233 --> 00:28:37,669
You think you're invisible?
536
00:28:37,702 --> 00:28:41,405
All those folks down there are gonna
see is dark hair and dark skin,
537
00:28:41,438 --> 00:28:43,173
and they're gonna think
that you're a Freedom Rider.
538
00:28:45,509 --> 00:28:47,011
We could use you, Bob.
539
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:55,886
You see the TV?
What would give somebody the courage
540
00:28:55,919 --> 00:28:58,122
to put their butts
in the frying pan like that?
541
00:29:00,592 --> 00:29:02,026
I couldn't do it.
542
00:29:02,059 --> 00:29:03,093
Derek...
543
00:29:04,361 --> 00:29:05,863
Why are you really down here?
544
00:29:05,896 --> 00:29:06,930
It's like you said.
545
00:29:07,931 --> 00:29:10,834
Black hair, darker skin.
546
00:29:10,868 --> 00:29:14,038
My family got brought over here
as labor too, you know.
547
00:29:14,071 --> 00:29:16,907
Well, yeah,
but they weren't slaves.
548
00:29:16,940 --> 00:29:17,975
Of course not.
549
00:29:19,611 --> 00:29:21,312
I'm fourth-generation American.
550
00:29:23,113 --> 00:29:25,983
Still, when I was a kid
during the war,
551
00:29:26,016 --> 00:29:29,086
my parents got me
to wear this sign every day.
552
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:31,255
It said, "I am Chinese."
553
00:29:33,290 --> 00:29:34,291
That's strange.
554
00:29:35,125 --> 00:29:36,193
Not really.
555
00:29:38,663 --> 00:29:40,164
They didn't want me
to get arrested
556
00:29:40,197 --> 00:29:42,132
or get beaten up
for being Japanese.
557
00:29:44,368 --> 00:29:45,502
The sign.
558
00:29:47,004 --> 00:29:48,472
Scared the hell out of me.
559
00:29:48,505 --> 00:29:50,274
Want to know what's really
messed up, though?
560
00:29:53,678 --> 00:29:55,179
I was just so glad.
561
00:29:56,581 --> 00:29:58,349
So glad I wasn't Japanese.
562
00:30:00,217 --> 00:30:01,285
Them, not me.
563
00:30:02,052 --> 00:30:03,087
Them, not me.
564
00:30:05,456 --> 00:30:07,592
The Greyhound
bus company has finally agreed
565
00:30:07,625 --> 00:30:09,426
to provide a driver
and a bus
566
00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:12,630
to carry the Freedom Riders
from Birmingham to Montgomery.
567
00:30:12,664 --> 00:30:15,633
They'll be escorted along the
way by Alabama State troopers,
568
00:30:15,667 --> 00:30:17,334
led by Floyd Mann.
569
00:30:17,368 --> 00:30:20,237
They should be arriving
in Montgomery soon.
570
00:30:20,270 --> 00:30:22,539
- Shoot. It's your nickel.
- Bob,
571
00:30:22,574 --> 00:30:25,677
the Freedom Riders have
already left from Birmingham.
572
00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:27,478
I'm down at Clifford's office.
573
00:30:27,511 --> 00:30:29,380
Can you pick up Derek
at my house?
574
00:30:31,215 --> 00:30:33,050
You know,
575
00:30:33,083 --> 00:30:35,620
I never said I was gonna go
down there to get anybody.
576
00:30:35,653 --> 00:30:37,689
Why? Well, what's the matter?
577
00:30:37,722 --> 00:30:39,223
Well, I got the habit
of breathing,
578
00:30:39,256 --> 00:30:41,325
and I don't really
feel like giving it up too soon.
579
00:30:41,358 --> 00:30:43,260
So you don't care
what happens to them?
580
00:30:43,293 --> 00:30:45,329
This was their choosing.
581
00:30:45,362 --> 00:30:47,398
Okay, I get it.
Give me your keys.
582
00:30:47,431 --> 00:30:49,533
All right, simmer down.
583
00:30:49,567 --> 00:30:52,369
- I'll get you close.
- All right.
584
00:30:55,305 --> 00:30:57,575
- Are they here yet?
- They're here.
585
00:31:07,284 --> 00:31:09,019
Where's that police car going?
586
00:31:12,690 --> 00:31:14,626
God, this doesn't look right.
587
00:31:15,993 --> 00:31:17,227
Maybe it's early.
588
00:31:22,299 --> 00:31:24,501
- John Lewis!
- Excuse me, John Lewis!
589
00:31:34,411 --> 00:31:36,046
Mr. Lewis, please.
We have some questions.
590
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,248
How can you possibly succeed
with so few of you?
591
00:31:56,133 --> 00:31:57,234
Non-violence.
592
00:31:57,267 --> 00:31:59,236
...be overcome by violence...
593
00:32:02,574 --> 00:32:06,711
Freedom Riders have
landed on the shores of Montgomery.
594
00:32:06,744 --> 00:32:09,581
And at this very moment,
they're at the bus depot
595
00:32:09,614 --> 00:32:12,549
with their white cohorts
right there with them,
596
00:32:12,584 --> 00:32:16,220
not white Americans
but Red Army commies
597
00:32:16,253 --> 00:32:19,456
sent here directly
by the Kremlin.
598
00:32:28,365 --> 00:32:30,802
- Get us outta here.
- I can't drive her.
599
00:32:30,835 --> 00:32:33,103
- These people will tear me apart.
- You can't leave us here.
600
00:32:33,136 --> 00:32:35,272
It'll look like I'm hitting her
with nothing but a purse.
601
00:32:40,110 --> 00:32:43,681
They have arrived
with weapons, that I know.
602
00:32:43,715 --> 00:32:46,116
They are armed to the teeth.
603
00:32:46,149 --> 00:32:47,752
So take whatever you can grab,
604
00:32:47,785 --> 00:32:50,755
bats, chains,
sticks and bricks,
605
00:32:50,788 --> 00:32:54,692
get down there,
and stop these commies in their tracks.
606
00:33:06,537 --> 00:33:08,539
Please! Please!
Stop it!
607
00:33:08,573 --> 00:33:12,175
Hey! Don't!
Please! Please!
608
00:33:18,348 --> 00:33:21,385
I bet you ain't happy you came
to Montgomery, now, boy.
609
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,060
- Sweet Jesus!
- Oh!
610
00:33:31,796 --> 00:33:32,864
We don't know what happened,
611
00:33:32,897 --> 00:33:34,398
but you're finally here.
Thank God.
612
00:33:34,431 --> 00:33:36,634
Bob, you see that woman
in the pink dress?
613
00:33:36,668 --> 00:33:38,302
Her name is Jessica Mitford.
614
00:33:38,335 --> 00:33:39,236
Can you try and get her?
615
00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:41,606
Okay.
Wait. Where are you going?
616
00:33:41,639 --> 00:33:43,140
If you're going, I'm going.
617
00:33:43,775 --> 00:33:45,175
What?
618
00:33:46,611 --> 00:33:48,178
I'm only doing this once.
619
00:34:05,362 --> 00:34:07,130
Hey, you all right?
620
00:34:07,999 --> 00:34:09,767
Hey, are you...
Are you Jessica Mitford?
621
00:34:09,801 --> 00:34:12,135
- Who wants to know?
- I don't think it's the best place to...
622
00:34:12,169 --> 00:34:14,471
What do you think? That you and your
bullies here are gonna frighten me?
623
00:34:14,504 --> 00:34:15,873
I have seen...
624
00:34:16,506 --> 00:34:18,610
Let go of me this instant.
625
00:34:18,643 --> 00:34:21,111
Hey, I'm the press.
Esquire magazine.
626
00:34:22,312 --> 00:34:23,848
Virginia sent me.
She's right up there.
627
00:34:23,881 --> 00:34:25,883
Can you just walk away
from me this instant?
628
00:34:25,917 --> 00:34:27,585
Virginia Durr!
629
00:34:28,953 --> 00:34:30,755
- Who are you?
- Someone trying to keep you
630
00:34:30,788 --> 00:34:32,724
from getting your head busted.
Now come on!
631
00:34:35,727 --> 00:34:37,394
Get in.
632
00:34:38,328 --> 00:34:39,363
Let's go!
633
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:44,468
- Are you okay?
- I can't believe you sent that young man to rescue me.
634
00:34:44,501 --> 00:34:45,903
I was completely fine.
635
00:34:45,937 --> 00:34:48,538
Slightest danger at all. You know,
there are some young girls out there.
636
00:34:48,573 --> 00:34:51,676
Ran into that building, the one with
the horribly reproduced Greek facade.
637
00:34:51,709 --> 00:34:53,410
Courthouse?
638
00:34:53,443 --> 00:34:54,746
They... They need some help.
639
00:34:55,345 --> 00:34:56,881
Bob?
640
00:34:56,914 --> 00:34:58,215
Well, hop to it. Go on.
641
00:34:59,817 --> 00:35:02,386
This is a formal injunction.
642
00:35:02,419 --> 00:35:04,555
I'm reading you the riot act.
643
00:35:04,589 --> 00:35:07,424
Forbidding persons named
and unnamed...
644
00:35:10,962 --> 00:35:12,262
This is a hearse.
645
00:35:24,341 --> 00:35:27,244
There'll be no killing
here today.
646
00:35:27,979 --> 00:35:30,615
This is over.
647
00:35:30,648 --> 00:35:33,250
Floyd Mann, you ain't
supposed to be here.
648
00:35:33,283 --> 00:35:35,787
We are not having
a discussion here.
649
00:35:35,820 --> 00:35:39,657
The next shot I fire
will not be a warning.
650
00:35:39,691 --> 00:35:41,926
...in the State of Alabama,
to engage
651
00:35:41,959 --> 00:35:44,662
in the so-called
Freedom Ride
652
00:35:44,696 --> 00:35:48,365
and other acts or conduct
calculated to promote
653
00:35:48,398 --> 00:35:49,901
breaches of the peace.
654
00:36:11,789 --> 00:36:13,825
Hey!
655
00:36:13,858 --> 00:36:15,927
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm here to get you.
656
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,029
To get you out. But...
657
00:36:18,062 --> 00:36:19,797
We gotta skedaddle.
Come on.
658
00:36:46,791 --> 00:36:50,460
- I'm Bob.
- Very nice to meet you, Bob.
659
00:36:50,494 --> 00:36:52,830
Joanne. And behind you, Susan.
660
00:36:53,430 --> 00:36:54,999
- Hi.
- How you doing?
661
00:36:58,002 --> 00:36:59,336
You can put me down now.
662
00:36:59,369 --> 00:37:00,403
Oh, yup.
663
00:37:01,404 --> 00:37:02,405
All right.
664
00:37:05,676 --> 00:37:08,012
We're rolling.
Anytime you're ready, son.
665
00:37:08,045 --> 00:37:09,080
That's Jim.
666
00:37:09,113 --> 00:37:10,815
- Segregation must be...
- Oh, my Lord.
667
00:37:12,083 --> 00:37:15,418
...stopped.
Must be broken down.
668
00:37:17,622 --> 00:37:18,656
Those of us...
669
00:37:19,824 --> 00:37:21,058
who were on the Freedom Ride...
670
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,895
will continue to Freedom Ride.
671
00:37:26,130 --> 00:37:29,033
I'm not sure I'll be able to.
672
00:37:29,066 --> 00:37:32,637
But we're going on to New
Orleans, no matter what happens.
673
00:37:34,437 --> 00:37:36,607
We're dedicated to this.
674
00:37:36,641 --> 00:37:38,308
We'll take hitting,
we'll take beating.
675
00:37:39,610 --> 00:37:40,878
We're willing to accept death.
676
00:37:43,047 --> 00:37:45,616
But we're going to keep coming
until we can ride from...
677
00:37:47,118 --> 00:37:48,485
anywhere in the South
678
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,989
to any place else
in the South...
679
00:37:53,858 --> 00:37:54,892
without anybody...
680
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,595
making any comments.
681
00:37:59,831 --> 00:38:01,431
Just as American citizens.
682
00:38:04,602 --> 00:38:06,971
- Where are you going?
- I need to borrow your car.
683
00:38:07,004 --> 00:38:09,506
- But where are you going?
- To the hospital.
684
00:38:09,539 --> 00:38:10,775
All right, well, I'm driving.
685
00:38:10,808 --> 00:38:12,475
- We should go too.
- I don't think so.
686
00:38:16,614 --> 00:38:17,982
So what's gonna happen next?
687
00:38:18,015 --> 00:38:19,584
We continue on.
688
00:38:19,617 --> 00:38:20,718
With the Freedom Ride?
689
00:38:20,751 --> 00:38:22,687
All the way to New Orleans.
690
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:23,855
But yours is over at least.
691
00:38:23,888 --> 00:38:25,156
What are you talking about?
692
00:38:25,189 --> 00:38:26,924
Well, look at you.
693
00:38:26,958 --> 00:38:28,491
Freedom Ride is over.
694
00:38:28,525 --> 00:38:29,827
But we're still breathing.
695
00:38:31,195 --> 00:38:33,030
They got Jim Zwerg
up in that white ward
696
00:38:33,064 --> 00:38:34,665
and I don't think
he'll be coming,
697
00:38:34,699 --> 00:38:36,968
but we are getting back
on that bus tomorrow.
698
00:38:37,001 --> 00:38:37,869
That's crazy.
699
00:38:37,902 --> 00:38:40,137
Yeah, you know
what Mississippi is like?
700
00:38:40,171 --> 00:38:42,974
No. What's it like?
701
00:38:43,007 --> 00:38:45,710
After getting criticized
for being backwards,
702
00:38:45,743 --> 00:38:47,812
people from Georgia say,
"Thank God for Alabama."
703
00:38:47,845 --> 00:38:50,181
And in Alabama, we say,
"Thank God for Mississippi."
704
00:38:50,214 --> 00:38:52,016
So you think
it's gonna be rough?
705
00:38:52,049 --> 00:38:53,084
Suicide.
706
00:38:53,951 --> 00:38:55,586
Yeah. Yeah.
707
00:38:56,453 --> 00:38:57,420
You're probably right.
708
00:38:57,454 --> 00:39:00,423
But John and I
are getting back on that bus.
709
00:39:00,457 --> 00:39:01,792
Is our cause just?
710
00:39:03,628 --> 00:39:05,528
If so,
then you must ask yourself,
711
00:39:06,664 --> 00:39:08,398
"If not now, when?
712
00:39:10,001 --> 00:39:12,670
"If not me, then who?"
713
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,708
Thank you, fellas,
for coming down.
714
00:39:18,910 --> 00:39:20,177
It means a lot.

Gentlemen.
726
00:40:10,661 --> 00:40:12,129
In Montgomery,
an angry white mob
727
00:40:12,163 --> 00:40:15,900
is holding over a thousand people
inside the First Baptist Church,
728
00:40:15,933 --> 00:40:17,201
where they've come
to listen to speakers
729
00:40:17,234 --> 00:40:20,104
such as the Reverend Fred
Shuttlesworth of Birmingham.
730
00:40:20,137 --> 00:40:22,106
The most guilty man
in this state tonight
731
00:40:22,139 --> 00:40:24,108
is Governor John Patterson.
732
00:40:24,141 --> 00:40:26,677
The people of Alabama
are law-abiding citizens.
733
00:40:26,711 --> 00:40:29,113
Uh, these people that came
into Alabama,
734
00:40:29,146 --> 00:40:31,182
uh, were law violators.
735
00:40:31,215 --> 00:40:33,050
They created the breaches
of the peace
736
00:40:33,084 --> 00:40:35,886
and provoked the local people
into disturbances.
737
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:41,926
US Attorney General
Robert Kennedy has engaged us
738
00:40:41,959 --> 00:40:45,563
and assured us
that he has the National Guard
739
00:40:45,596 --> 00:40:49,200
coming here
to the Brick-a-Day Church now.
740
00:40:49,233 --> 00:40:51,602
We must remain where we are
741
00:40:51,635 --> 00:40:54,572
until they get here to protect.
742
00:40:54,605 --> 00:40:59,010
And despite what took place
at the bus depot earlier,
743
00:40:59,043 --> 00:41:02,512
despite the angry crowd
that surrounds us,
744
00:41:03,647 --> 00:41:06,283
we must remain nonviolent.
745
00:41:06,317 --> 00:41:09,653
Now, I know some of y'all
think you wanna strike back,
746
00:41:09,687 --> 00:41:11,555
that you might wanna
go blow-for-blow.
747
00:41:12,123 --> 00:41:14,125
But we cannot,
748
00:41:14,158 --> 00:41:17,728
- and we have to restrain others from doing so.
- Yes, yeah.
749
00:41:17,762 --> 00:41:20,564
We hold the moral
high ground.
750
00:41:20,598 --> 00:41:21,465
Yeah.
751
00:41:21,499 --> 00:41:24,602
And we intend to keep
that high ground,
752
00:41:24,635 --> 00:41:26,203
if ever we hope
753
00:41:26,237 --> 00:41:29,840
to transform America
into a better place.
754
00:41:29,874 --> 00:41:31,108
- Oh, yeah.
- Amen.
755
00:41:38,315 --> 00:41:39,316
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
756
00:41:43,287 --> 00:41:46,590
- It's beautiful down here.
- Yeah.
757
00:41:46,624 --> 00:41:48,592
Montgomery's a pretty town.
758
00:41:48,626 --> 00:41:50,861
With a pretty ugly side to it.
759
00:41:50,895 --> 00:41:54,365
Yeah. Well. that's probably
true everywhere.
760
00:41:54,398 --> 00:41:56,233
It's certainly true
in Nashville.
761
00:41:56,267 --> 00:41:57,868
Virginia gave me this.
762
00:41:57,902 --> 00:41:59,570
Found it inside.
Do you mind?
763
00:42:01,072 --> 00:42:03,908
I was an Eagle Scout.
I got a merit badge in first aid.
764
00:42:04,975 --> 00:42:07,144
Oh, all right then.
765
00:42:07,178 --> 00:42:09,880
As long as you've got
a merit badge.
766
00:42:18,923 --> 00:42:22,626
Before today, I'd never touched
a Southern white person before.
767
00:42:23,727 --> 00:42:25,963
And none ever touched me.
768
00:42:25,996 --> 00:42:27,665
How's that even possible?
769
00:42:27,698 --> 00:42:29,900
My father's a professor
of advanced mathematics.
770
00:42:29,934 --> 00:42:33,003
I grew up on campus,
all Black school.
771
00:42:33,037 --> 00:42:36,373
I did study in Paris, though.
There were all sorts of white people there.
772
00:42:36,407 --> 00:42:39,243
But they were different.
773
00:42:39,276 --> 00:42:42,012
There were more French
than white.
774
00:42:43,848 --> 00:42:47,318
Nobody's ever called
me a nigger
775
00:42:47,351 --> 00:42:52,123
until I started sitting-in in the
lunch counters in Nashville last year.
776
00:42:52,156 --> 00:42:54,658
Take your Black ass
off my stool!
777
00:42:54,692 --> 00:42:56,127
You know what
I thought then?
778
00:42:58,028 --> 00:43:00,064
"No, they must be joking.
779
00:43:00,998 --> 00:43:03,100
"Don't they know who I am?
780
00:43:03,134 --> 00:43:05,903
"I'm an associate professor.
I speak five languages."
781
00:43:05,936 --> 00:43:07,404
- How many you speak?
- Five.
782
00:43:07,905 --> 00:43:08,973
Wow.
783
00:43:13,844 --> 00:43:14,979
Can I ask you something?
784
00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:19,016
I've been told
that down here,
785
00:43:19,049 --> 00:43:22,153
white folks' hair smells like
chicken feathers when it gets wet.
786
00:43:22,186 --> 00:43:24,321
- Is that so?
- They told you what?
787
00:43:24,355 --> 00:43:26,090
Can I smell your
chicken-feathered hair?
788
00:43:26,123 --> 00:43:27,158
Just to see.
789
00:43:30,794 --> 00:43:32,163
I guess you better
wet it first.
790
00:43:33,063 --> 00:43:34,064
Okay.
791
00:43:37,334 --> 00:43:38,802
Oh!
792
00:43:43,274 --> 00:43:44,441
What is that?
793
00:43:47,077 --> 00:43:48,812
You smell like my cousin Elroy.
794
00:43:48,846 --> 00:43:51,982
Oh, yeah. He probably
uses Burma Shave.
795
00:43:52,283 --> 00:43:53,284
Mm.
796
00:43:54,285 --> 00:43:56,854
- Bob!
- Carol Ann!
797
00:43:59,056 --> 00:44:00,491
Is this where
you've been all day?
798
00:44:00,524 --> 00:44:02,059
No, I was...
I was downtown.
799
00:44:02,092 --> 00:44:03,394
- In the riot?
- Yeah.
800
00:44:03,427 --> 00:44:04,962
You cannot believe
what went down there.
801
00:44:04,995 --> 00:44:08,098
And who is this?
802
00:44:08,132 --> 00:44:10,334
Carol Ann, Joanne.
Joanne, this is...
803
00:44:10,367 --> 00:44:11,902
Can you excuse us a moment?
804
00:44:16,340 --> 00:44:17,975
What was she doing back there?
805
00:44:18,008 --> 00:44:19,977
She just wanted
to smell my hair.
806
00:44:20,010 --> 00:44:22,446
- For what reason?
- Just see if I smelled like a chicken.
807
00:44:22,479 --> 00:44:24,481
Look, Carol Ann,
these are the craziest human beings
808
00:44:24,515 --> 00:44:25,584
I think I've ever met.
809
00:44:25,617 --> 00:44:27,885
They're actually planning
on getting back on the bus
810
00:44:27,918 --> 00:44:29,420
to go on to Mississippi.
811
00:44:29,453 --> 00:44:32,056
It's like they're running
a three-legged dog.
812
00:44:32,089 --> 00:44:34,191
They think they're gonna beat the pack.
They are something.
813
00:44:34,225 --> 00:44:35,993
So what is it
you're telling me?
814
00:44:36,026 --> 00:44:37,895
You wanna go get on a
Greyhound with these people
815
00:44:37,928 --> 00:44:40,397
so some old redneck
can beat the hell out of you?
816
00:44:40,431 --> 00:44:41,365
No, I'm not saying that.
817
00:44:41,398 --> 00:44:43,467
I'm... I'm just telling you,
I admire 'em.
818
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:44,802
Yeah, it's admirable.
819
00:44:46,170 --> 00:44:48,539
Now, let's go
get back to campus.
820
00:44:48,573 --> 00:44:50,040
Not tonight.
821
00:44:53,444 --> 00:44:56,347
Oh, no, Carol Ann.
Don't go thinking that.
822
00:44:56,380 --> 00:44:59,316
Do not get all caught up.
823
00:44:59,350 --> 00:45:01,785
You will ruin our lives
if you get caught up in this.
824
00:45:01,819 --> 00:45:02,820
I know.
825
00:45:04,855 --> 00:45:05,990
You're scaring me, Bob.
826
00:45:12,062 --> 00:45:14,865
It was incredible. Amazing.
827
00:45:14,898 --> 00:45:18,202
One of the most exhilarating
experiences of my entire existence.
828
00:45:18,235 --> 00:45:20,237
You really shouldn't
have missed it.
829
00:45:20,271 --> 00:45:22,873
- You want a coffee?
- Marvelous idea. Black.
830
00:45:22,906 --> 00:45:24,241
Get him one too.
831
00:45:24,275 --> 00:45:26,443
Dear girl, how did you get back?
832
00:45:26,477 --> 00:45:28,012
I didn't hear my car drive up.
833
00:45:28,045 --> 00:45:30,981
I have a little Nash Rambler
back in California.
834
00:45:31,015 --> 00:45:32,483
I can drive it here for you.
835
00:45:32,516 --> 00:45:34,318
- Why would you do that?
- The brakes are good.
836
00:45:34,351 --> 00:45:36,420
The real problem
is just getting it started.
837
00:45:36,453 --> 00:45:39,156
What are you talking about?
Where is my car?
838
00:45:39,189 --> 00:45:41,258
They burned it, all right?
We did everything.
839
00:45:41,292 --> 00:45:42,960
Everything we could
to stop them, didn't we, Dickie?
840
00:45:42,993 --> 00:45:44,562
You parked right
in front of the church.
841
00:45:44,596 --> 00:45:47,298
I told you to park
three or four blocks away.
842
00:45:47,331 --> 00:45:49,133
You did! You did, darling.
I know you did...
843
00:45:49,166 --> 00:45:50,434
I'm glad you're in one piece.
844
00:45:50,467 --> 00:45:53,037
It's just that Clifford
is gonna wanna kill you.
845
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:56,273
They're taking the bus down
to Jackson, Mississippi, later.
846
00:45:56,307 --> 00:45:58,409
- They're leaving today?
- Who's leaving?
847
00:45:59,476 --> 00:46:01,445
Those who aren't too badly hurt.
848
00:46:01,478 --> 00:46:04,148
And a handful of volunteers
to take the place of the others.
849
00:46:04,181 --> 00:46:06,183
Did somebody volunteer for me?
850
00:46:06,216 --> 00:46:07,451
I think so, yeah.
851
00:46:07,484 --> 00:46:09,153
Well, nobody needs
to take my place.
852
00:46:09,186 --> 00:46:10,487
Were they from Montgomery?
853
00:46:10,521 --> 00:46:14,058
Mostly. A reporter took
everybody's name down who's riding.
854
00:46:15,192 --> 00:46:17,428
I gotta get some sleep.
855
00:46:19,196 --> 00:46:20,331
Hold on to this for me.
856
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,903
Virginia, I think I found
a picture of your car.
857
00:46:25,936 --> 00:46:28,439
- Derek Ang.
- He's one of the volunteers.
858
00:46:29,540 --> 00:46:32,009
Sweet Lord Jesus.
859
00:46:32,042 --> 00:46:35,079
Put everything back, Bob.
You're not going anywhere!
860
00:46:35,112 --> 00:46:37,281
- Okay!
- I don't have to tell you
861
00:46:37,314 --> 00:46:38,549
that this is crazy!
862
00:46:38,583 --> 00:46:41,919
- This is crazy!
- Yep. You're right.
863
00:46:41,952 --> 00:46:43,588
I forbid this.
864
00:46:43,621 --> 00:46:45,557
Do not walk out that door!
865
00:46:47,191 --> 00:46:48,593
You stop right now!
866
00:46:49,460 --> 00:46:52,396
I am talking to you. Bob!
867
00:46:52,429 --> 00:46:54,531
Put down that suitcase.
868
00:46:54,566 --> 00:46:55,667
I'm warning you, Bob.
869
00:46:55,700 --> 00:46:58,402
You go down to that bus depot
and you get on that bus,
870
00:46:58,435 --> 00:47:00,537
and we are over! Done!
871
00:47:02,272 --> 00:47:04,441
- We're done?
- Your decision.
872
00:47:08,245 --> 00:47:10,147
Well, in that case,
873
00:47:11,215 --> 00:47:12,549
I'll try and be back
in a few days.
874
00:47:13,585 --> 00:47:14,586
Bob!
875
00:47:25,996 --> 00:47:27,264
- I want to get on that bus.
- Mm-mm.
876
00:47:27,297 --> 00:47:28,566
Uh-uh.
877
00:47:50,555 --> 00:47:52,489
Jackson citizens
watched by the hundreds,
878
00:47:52,523 --> 00:47:54,692
jostling each other
for a better view.
879
00:47:54,726 --> 00:47:57,027
The Freedom Riders
stepped off the bus,
880
00:47:57,060 --> 00:48:00,598
some still bearing the bandages
of their encounter with Alabama.
881
00:48:00,632 --> 00:48:02,634
A policeman ordered
them to move on.
882
00:48:02,667 --> 00:48:06,571
Then each was arrested and led
outside to a waiting paddy wagon.
883
00:48:06,604 --> 00:48:10,207
The charges were breach of
the peace and inciting to riot.
884
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:12,610
The trial was short.
The sentence...
885
00:48:12,644 --> 00:48:13,678
Leave it alone.
886
00:48:13,711 --> 00:48:14,978
...which was suspended.
887
00:48:15,012 --> 00:48:17,080
The Real McCoys is about to come on.
That's my favorite show.
888
00:48:17,114 --> 00:48:19,584
And I'll break your arm
if you touch that TV.
889
00:48:21,653 --> 00:48:23,655
Well, you really are something, Bob.
You know that?
890
00:48:24,556 --> 00:48:25,557
Carol Ann.
891
00:48:27,625 --> 00:48:29,059
That could have been you.
892
00:48:30,562 --> 00:48:33,163
I'm glad you decided
to come to your senses.
893
00:48:33,698 --> 00:48:35,232
I didn't.
894
00:48:35,265 --> 00:48:38,135
Bus was leaving by the time I got
there, and they wouldn't let me through.
895
00:48:39,571 --> 00:48:43,073
You really meant to go off
and get yourself arrested?
896
00:48:43,106 --> 00:48:46,376
You know what I felt when I
saw I couldn't get on that bus?
897
00:48:46,410 --> 00:48:49,581
Relieved.
My head was saying, "Thank God.
898
00:48:49,614 --> 00:48:51,548
"Thank God. Thank you, Jesus."
899
00:48:51,583 --> 00:48:55,185
That's right. Thank you, Jesus.
900
00:48:55,219 --> 00:48:56,721
What do you think Jesus
would have done in my place?
901
00:48:56,754 --> 00:48:59,156
You are not Jesus, Bob.
902
00:48:59,189 --> 00:49:00,324
You got that right.
903
00:49:00,357 --> 00:49:02,059
That's John Lewis.
904
00:49:02,092 --> 00:49:04,562
That man right there.
You see him?
905
00:49:04,596 --> 00:49:06,163
Virginia Durr told me
he's a minister.
906
00:49:06,196 --> 00:49:07,464
He doesn't look old enough,
does he?
907
00:49:07,498 --> 00:49:10,668
Well, he's the first real man
of God I think I've ever met.
908
00:49:10,702 --> 00:49:12,704
Oh, so he's Jesus?
909
00:49:13,605 --> 00:49:15,272
No, he's a man.
910
00:49:17,441 --> 00:49:19,811
But me, I was afraid
to get on that bus.
911
00:49:19,844 --> 00:49:22,412
- What does that make me?
- Reasonable.
912
00:49:25,182 --> 00:49:26,651
I was in a riot two days ago,
913
00:49:27,852 --> 00:49:30,254
and I walked
right through it unharmed.
914
00:49:30,855 --> 00:49:32,289
And I know why.
915
00:49:32,322 --> 00:49:34,091
It's 'cause I'm just like
everybody else.
916
00:49:35,225 --> 00:49:37,094
You know what I think
most of the time?
917
00:49:37,127 --> 00:49:40,097
"It ain't happening to me.
So it's okay."
918
00:49:40,130 --> 00:49:42,800
It should be my motto,
just get it tattooed on my body someplace.
919
00:49:42,834 --> 00:49:46,103
- "Not my problem."
- What is the point you're trying to make?
920
00:49:46,136 --> 00:49:47,504
I'm gonna go call
these people up right now.
921
00:49:47,538 --> 00:49:49,339
Find out what
they're really about.
922
00:49:49,373 --> 00:49:50,775
And I know that
you're not gonna like that,
923
00:49:50,808 --> 00:49:51,676
but that's what I'm gonna do.
924
00:49:51,709 --> 00:49:54,244
Well, if that's all
you do, it's okay.
925
00:49:54,278 --> 00:49:56,213
I'm not asking
your permission, Carol Ann.
926
00:49:56,246 --> 00:49:57,615
And that's just it.
927
00:49:57,649 --> 00:50:00,551
I'm capable of doing a lot of
things you're not gonna approve of.
928
00:50:00,585 --> 00:50:03,621
I am trying to preserve the life
we've been planning together.
929
00:50:03,655 --> 00:50:05,355
Is that at all
meaningful to you?
930
00:50:05,389 --> 00:50:06,991
I think about it constantly.
931
00:50:07,025 --> 00:50:10,562
There's a voice in my head saying, "Get
back in line, you dumb ass country boy."
932
00:50:10,595 --> 00:50:12,396
So what is it
you want to do?
933
00:50:12,429 --> 00:50:14,599
You wanna go off,
get yourself arrested,
934
00:50:14,632 --> 00:50:17,669
jeopardize your whole life
for some grand principle?
935
00:50:17,702 --> 00:50:19,804
Isn't that what they're doing?
936
00:50:19,837 --> 00:50:21,606
I mean, they're my age!
937
00:50:21,639 --> 00:50:23,440
Half of them are in college too.
938
00:50:23,473 --> 00:50:25,142
So how is it that
they can do it?
939
00:50:25,175 --> 00:50:26,678
And what about me?
940
00:50:26,711 --> 00:50:28,111
You wanna give me up too?
941
00:50:28,145 --> 00:50:30,582
No, I don't. I just,
I got to do something
942
00:50:30,615 --> 00:50:32,182
and I don't see you
putting up with that.
943
00:50:38,823 --> 00:50:41,693
You had me fooled
for a long time, Bob Zellner.
944
00:50:41,726 --> 00:50:43,527
I really thought
you were gonna be somebody.
945
00:50:43,561 --> 00:50:44,596
I thought you had ambition.
946
00:50:44,629 --> 00:50:48,298
But you are nothing
but a dumb ass country boy.
947
00:50:48,332 --> 00:50:51,869
And maybe it's all right for you to
end up living life in a shotgun shack,
948
00:50:51,903 --> 00:50:54,639
trying to save the world.
But that has never been my dream.
949
00:50:56,540 --> 00:50:59,276
Who do you think
you are, anyway?
950
00:50:59,309 --> 00:51:01,511
We both know
you're not anybody's savior.
951
00:51:08,418 --> 00:51:10,622
Well, the niggers aren't
on TV anymore, are they?
952
00:51:10,655 --> 00:51:12,824
This is The Real McCoys.
953
00:51:12,857 --> 00:51:16,360
Starring Walter Brennan,
created by Irving Pincus...
954
00:51:21,231 --> 00:51:23,166
Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee.
955
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,637
- Yes, is this the SNCC office?
- Yes, it is.
956
00:51:25,670 --> 00:51:29,506
We'd like to thank you, Father,
for this blessed meal you've set before us.
957
00:51:29,539 --> 00:51:31,909
I'm calling from Alabama.
958
00:51:31,943 --> 00:51:35,278
I was wondering if you needed
volunteers for the summer.
959
00:51:35,312 --> 00:51:38,448
We'd like to ask that you keep
an eye on our second eldest, Bob,
960
00:51:39,549 --> 00:51:41,351
who's leaving to take up arms
961
00:51:41,385 --> 00:51:44,187
and to fight
for freedom and justice.
962
00:51:44,221 --> 00:51:46,456
We could use you.
How soon can you get over here?
963
00:51:46,490 --> 00:51:48,325
I can be there in a few days.
964
00:51:48,358 --> 00:51:50,962
You know our son,
Lord, I'm sure that you know
965
00:51:50,995 --> 00:51:55,432
that he is headstrong,
a fighter, and resolute.
966
00:51:57,434 --> 00:51:59,369
First of all, Lord,
he is righteous.
967
00:52:01,706 --> 00:52:03,608
Please walk with him
and keep him safe.
968
00:52:04,709 --> 00:52:05,743
Amen.
969
00:52:05,777 --> 00:52:07,310
Amen.
970
00:52:08,613 --> 00:52:11,949
Bob, darling,
take care of yourself.
971
00:52:11,983 --> 00:52:16,353
I mean, there's no reason for you to
go out of your way to get in trouble.
972
00:52:16,386 --> 00:52:20,223
Going away to school in a few weeks.
Remember that.
973
00:52:20,257 --> 00:52:21,759
- Okay?
- What's going on here?
974
00:52:21,793 --> 00:52:23,695
You're acting like
I'm going off to war.
975
00:52:41,846 --> 00:52:44,615
I'm sorry
I wasn't there at graduation.
976
00:52:44,649 --> 00:52:46,550
I just couldn't go.
977
00:52:46,584 --> 00:52:47,852
I couldn't face it.
978
00:52:47,885 --> 00:52:51,656
Hey, Bob, you start applying
for work as a nigger-lover yet?
979
00:52:51,689 --> 00:52:54,726
Now, what's that all about?
You still up to something?
980
00:52:54,759 --> 00:52:57,461
Nah, they're just
fooling around.
981
00:52:57,494 --> 00:52:59,630
Calling you a nigger-lover,
is just fooling around?
982
00:52:59,664 --> 00:53:02,432
Don't listen to them, son.
They're white trash.
983
00:53:02,466 --> 00:53:03,868
It means nothing, Daddy.
984
00:53:03,901 --> 00:53:04,902
You know how people are.
985
00:53:04,936 --> 00:53:07,437
Listen, I don't wanna
find out that my grandson
986
00:53:07,471 --> 00:53:09,339
is trying to help
the niggers take over.
987
00:53:09,372 --> 00:53:10,842
Not that you would
tell me about it.
988
00:53:12,442 --> 00:53:15,613
It was supposed to mark
the beginning of our life together,
989
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,548
truly together.
990
00:53:18,583 --> 00:53:22,019
And I can see now
it was really marking the end.
991
00:53:22,053 --> 00:53:24,789
Mama wants me
back in Union Springs,
992
00:53:24,822 --> 00:53:27,357
and I'm going back
for now.
993
00:53:27,390 --> 00:53:30,494
Don't come to find me.
I don't want to see you.
994
00:53:31,996 --> 00:53:33,965
I hope you find your way
when you get out there.
995
00:54:39,764 --> 00:54:40,932
I'm leaving today.
996
00:54:42,432 --> 00:54:43,868
I think.
997
00:54:43,901 --> 00:54:46,070
I'll let you know
if I get on that bus.
998
00:54:46,804 --> 00:54:47,805
Bye.
999
00:54:50,641 --> 00:54:52,677
Bob Zellner.
1000
00:54:52,710 --> 00:54:54,145
You're the phone call
from Alabama?
1001
00:54:54,178 --> 00:54:55,478
Yes, sir.
1002
00:54:55,512 --> 00:54:56,581
The volunteer?
1003
00:54:58,448 --> 00:54:59,684
You expecting somebody else?
1004
00:54:59,717 --> 00:55:02,086
You know,
I gotta admit, I was.
1005
00:55:03,588 --> 00:55:04,856
You know what we do here?
1006
00:55:04,889 --> 00:55:06,389
You're a freedom organization.
1007
00:55:07,024 --> 00:55:08,893
And you're Southern?
1008
00:55:08,926 --> 00:55:10,828
Alabama born and raised.
1009
00:55:10,862 --> 00:55:12,930
All right, Alabama.
1010
00:55:12,964 --> 00:55:14,397
Well, listen.
1011
00:55:14,431 --> 00:55:16,033
I gotta catch a bus.
1012
00:55:16,067 --> 00:55:18,636
Here are the keys
to the office.
1013
00:55:19,604 --> 00:55:21,639
Notepad, pencil.
1014
00:55:21,672 --> 00:55:22,673
Most important thing.
1015
00:55:24,541 --> 00:55:26,177
Guard this briefcase.
1016
00:55:26,210 --> 00:55:27,912
Never let it out of your sight.
1017
00:55:27,945 --> 00:55:29,881
When you leave,
take it with you.
1018
00:55:29,914 --> 00:55:31,148
I'll guard it with my life.
1019
00:55:31,182 --> 00:55:34,719
You don't have to do all
that, but don't lose it.
1020
00:55:34,752 --> 00:55:35,853
Everything's in there.
1021
00:55:40,992 --> 00:55:43,027
You better be on
the up and up, Alabama.
1022
00:55:45,897 --> 00:55:47,798
Oh, uh...
1023
00:55:47,832 --> 00:55:50,601
sorry... what am I
supposed to do?
1024
00:55:50,635 --> 00:55:52,737
Well, you open up the office
around 8:00 a.m.,
1025
00:55:52,770 --> 00:55:54,105
stay until about 5:30,
1026
00:55:54,138 --> 00:55:56,073
and in between,
you answer the phones.
1027
00:55:56,107 --> 00:55:58,576
- Okay.
- You take all the phone messages.
1028
00:55:58,609 --> 00:56:01,612
Who's calling, who they're calling
for, and what they want.
1029
00:56:03,614 --> 00:56:05,548
Um, what about the briefcase?
1030
00:56:05,583 --> 00:56:08,219
Just keep it with you. When somebody
comes, they'll know what to do with it.
1031
00:56:08,252 --> 00:56:09,921
- Well, who's coming?
- I don't know.
1032
00:56:09,954 --> 00:56:11,622
- Well, when are you gonna be back?
- I won't be.
1033
00:56:16,928 --> 00:56:21,065
- McDew?
- Uh, I think McDew just left.
1034
00:56:21,098 --> 00:56:24,467
- Oh, who is this?
- Bob Zellner.
1035
00:56:24,501 --> 00:56:25,937
From where?
1036
00:56:25,970 --> 00:56:27,470
East Brewton, Alabama.
1037
00:56:27,504 --> 00:56:29,874
Uh, I don't wanna
insult you, but, uh...
1038
00:56:29,907 --> 00:56:31,909
- You sound white.
- I get that a lot.
1039
00:56:31,943 --> 00:56:34,946
All right, I... I got a message
for Bob Moses.
1040
00:56:34,979 --> 00:56:37,682
- Um, you think you could...
- Go ahead.
1041
00:56:37,715 --> 00:56:38,783
Um...
1042
00:58:07,304 --> 00:58:10,007
Uh, Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee.
1043
00:58:10,041 --> 00:58:11,208
Bob Zellner speaking.
1044
00:58:13,277 --> 00:58:14,544
Who is this?
1045
00:58:15,279 --> 00:58:16,914
Bob Zellner.
1046
00:58:16,947 --> 00:58:18,649
Did I call
the right number?
1047
00:58:18,682 --> 00:58:20,751
This is the SNCC office, right?
1048
00:58:20,785 --> 00:58:22,186
Yes, it is.
1049
00:58:22,219 --> 00:58:23,554
Don't move.
1050
00:58:39,970 --> 00:58:41,806
Burma Shave!
1051
00:58:41,839 --> 00:58:44,842
- Hey, Joanne.
- What in God's creation are you doing here?
1052
00:58:58,089 --> 00:59:00,958
America's
favorite family comedy,
1053
00:59:00,991 --> 00:59:03,327
The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet.
1054
00:59:09,300 --> 00:59:12,336
Hey, how do you like
your new room?
1055
00:59:12,369 --> 00:59:14,038
It's a lot better than the Y.
1056
00:59:15,439 --> 00:59:18,843
- You play?
- Do you?
1057
00:59:18,876 --> 00:59:20,845
Because I'm a Negro,
I shouldn't know how to play chess?
1058
00:59:20,878 --> 00:59:22,012
I didn't mean it like that.
1059
00:59:22,046 --> 00:59:24,048
Oh, because I'm a girl.
1060
00:59:24,081 --> 00:59:25,916
I get it. Sit down.
1061
00:59:30,921 --> 00:59:32,823
I'm gonna let you know,
I'm pretty good.
1062
00:59:32,857 --> 00:59:34,325
Uh-huh. We'll see.
1063
00:59:49,406 --> 00:59:54,011
♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪
1064
00:59:59,116 --> 01:00:01,886
You know, this movement
is about more than just
1065
01:00:01,919 --> 01:00:04,755
voting rights and being able
to eat at Woolworths.
1066
01:00:04,788 --> 01:00:06,957
Check. Don't go easy on me.
1067
01:00:09,793 --> 01:00:12,296
You don't have to worry
about that.
1068
01:00:12,329 --> 01:00:15,699
Check. Look, we're trying
to change the world, Bob.
1069
01:00:15,733 --> 01:00:17,201
Have you read
Jean-Paul Sartre?
1070
01:00:18,135 --> 01:00:19,803
No. Never heard of him.
1071
01:00:21,805 --> 01:00:24,742
Well, you've got
a lot of studying to do.
1072
01:00:24,775 --> 01:00:27,411
- Checkmate.
- Yeah.
1073
01:00:27,444 --> 01:00:28,445
Wanna go again?
1074
01:00:29,446 --> 01:00:31,749
Well, it is getting pretty late.
1075
01:00:31,782 --> 01:00:34,084
Chicken hair,
are you getting chicken?
1076
01:00:35,786 --> 01:00:37,154
Oh, don't be a sore loser.
1077
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,394
- SNCC office.
- Bob!
1078
01:00:44,828 --> 01:00:47,998
- Grandaddy?
- I'm downstairs, god damn it!
1079
01:00:55,072 --> 01:00:58,909
- Grandaddy?
- Hey.
1080
01:00:58,943 --> 01:01:02,413
Is there a place where a white man
can go and sit down around here?
1081
01:01:02,446 --> 01:01:04,014
There's a park.
1082
01:01:04,048 --> 01:01:06,183
Park? Good idea.
1083
01:01:06,217 --> 01:01:08,752
But he told me
you've gone nigger crazy.
1084
01:01:08,786 --> 01:01:12,389
He saw you with a Negress
walking down the street.
1085
01:01:13,424 --> 01:01:15,926
I'm just helping some people out
for the summer.
1086
01:01:17,261 --> 01:01:19,763
Ah, let's call
a spade a spade.
1087
01:01:20,965 --> 01:01:22,499
They're called niggers.
1088
01:01:24,868 --> 01:01:27,972
With your delicate sensibilities
you want me to call them,
1089
01:01:28,005 --> 01:01:29,540
what, Negroes?
1090
01:01:31,508 --> 01:01:32,943
Whatever you choose.
1091
01:01:34,912 --> 01:01:37,248
Bob, I've known Negroes
all my life.
1092
01:01:37,281 --> 01:01:39,149
I got nothing against them.
1093
01:01:39,183 --> 01:01:42,052
Now, you might think because I'm
in the Klan, I'm against the Negro.
1094
01:01:42,086 --> 01:01:43,921
I'm not against the Negro.
1095
01:01:43,954 --> 01:01:46,423
I'm for the white race,
that's all.
1096
01:01:46,457 --> 01:01:48,192
As any decent white man
should be.
1097
01:01:49,293 --> 01:01:50,794
Hell, you know history.
1098
01:01:50,828 --> 01:01:52,863
History teaches us
the white race
1099
01:01:52,896 --> 01:01:55,032
pulled humanity out of the muck
1100
01:01:55,065 --> 01:01:57,234
and gave the world civilization.
1101
01:01:57,268 --> 01:01:59,803
Hell, they don't
understand civilization.
1102
01:01:59,837 --> 01:02:03,073
Not them. Not their fault.
1103
01:02:03,107 --> 01:02:04,942
Christ, they're barely
out of the jungle themselves.
1104
01:02:04,975 --> 01:02:06,944
A couple of hundred years.
1105
01:02:06,977 --> 01:02:09,581
That's why we just,
we can't mix in with them.
1106
01:02:09,614 --> 01:02:12,049
Hell, I don't want to, anyway.
1107
01:02:12,082 --> 01:02:14,318
I don't want to sit with them.
I don't want to eat with them.
1108
01:02:14,351 --> 01:02:15,953
I don't want to pray with them
1109
01:02:15,986 --> 01:02:17,921
or ride on the goddamn train.
1110
01:02:20,090 --> 01:02:21,992
I prefer not even to see them.
1111
01:02:22,026 --> 01:02:24,895
That's my cross to bear,
I guess.
1112
01:02:24,928 --> 01:02:26,864
It's a colored organization.
I work for 'em.
1113
01:02:26,897 --> 01:02:29,433
It's called the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
1114
01:02:32,102 --> 01:02:34,371
But what the hell do you
hope to accomplish with that?
1115
01:02:34,405 --> 01:02:39,577
Eating, sitting, praying, riding trains
together. The whole kit and caboodle.
1116
01:02:39,611 --> 01:02:42,346
The Southern way of life,
you just throw that away and just
1117
01:02:42,379 --> 01:02:44,315
stomp that
into the ground, right?
1118
01:02:44,348 --> 01:02:45,983
It's gonna happen, Grandaddy.
1119
01:02:47,184 --> 01:02:49,486
I've met the people changing
everything, and they're...
1120
01:02:51,388 --> 01:02:53,123
you can't stop them.
1121
01:02:53,157 --> 01:02:54,458
They are tougher,
1122
01:02:54,491 --> 01:02:58,529
they are stronger, they're more
resilient, and they're right.
1123
01:02:58,563 --> 01:03:00,598
You trying to tell me
that the Klan can't
1124
01:03:00,632 --> 01:03:04,068
beat a few niggers
back into line?
1125
01:03:04,101 --> 01:03:07,071
Hey, hell. That's hardly even
gonna be a fight.
1126
01:03:07,104 --> 01:03:08,472
I wouldn't count on that.
1127
01:03:08,505 --> 01:03:10,140
They're gonna bury Jim Crow.
1128
01:03:10,174 --> 01:03:12,242
The only funerals
are gonna be for these...
1129
01:03:12,276 --> 01:03:15,145
these commie niggers.
1130
01:03:15,179 --> 01:03:17,147
And to tell you the truth, son,
1131
01:03:17,181 --> 01:03:19,983
you're on that
slippery slope yourself.
1132
01:03:20,017 --> 01:03:21,985
I'm really only here
to tell you something, Bob.
1133
01:03:22,019 --> 01:03:24,589
I need to tell you this
face-to-face, man-to-man.
1134
01:03:24,622 --> 01:03:28,125
You come to Birmingham
to march, protesting,
1135
01:03:28,158 --> 01:03:31,061
sit-in in a bus depot,
1136
01:03:31,095 --> 01:03:34,064
I'll put a bullet through
your head my own damn self.
1137
01:03:34,666 --> 01:03:37,134
You understand me? Huh?
1138
01:03:38,335 --> 01:03:40,170
You've fallen off the path, son.
1139
01:03:43,207 --> 01:03:45,075
We got eyes on you, Bob.
1140
01:03:45,109 --> 01:03:48,045
We got eyes on you,
god damn it. Got it?
1141
01:03:52,116 --> 01:03:54,284
- Hey.
- Hi.
1142
01:03:56,220 --> 01:03:58,122
Well, are you gonna
introduce us?
1143
01:03:58,155 --> 01:04:01,559
Joanne, this is my grandfather.
Grandaddy, this is Joanne.
1144
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,361
Certainly nice to meet you.
1145
01:04:06,330 --> 01:04:08,432
What am I looking at here, Bob?
1146
01:04:08,465 --> 01:04:09,933
We better go.
1147
01:04:10,635 --> 01:04:12,369
I'll tell Daddy you said hi.
1148
01:04:54,378 --> 01:04:56,480
SNCC office. Bob Zellner here.
1149
01:04:56,513 --> 01:04:58,716
Well, yeah. All right.
Mr. Zellner,
1150
01:04:58,750 --> 01:05:02,085
this is Mr. Herbert Lee
from McComb, Mississippi.
1151
01:05:02,119 --> 01:05:05,189
Well, I know you're not calling for me.
Would you like to leave a message?
1152
01:05:05,222 --> 01:05:08,660
Well, yes, I would.
I'm trying to find Bob Moses.
1153
01:05:08,693 --> 01:05:11,563
Uh, he's helping us with
voting registration over here.
1154
01:05:11,596 --> 01:05:12,931
He's supposed to be
back last week
1155
01:05:12,963 --> 01:05:16,768
and I hadn't heard a thing from him.
Would you know where he is?
1156
01:05:16,801 --> 01:05:21,205
I wish I did.
Everybody's calling for him.
1157
01:05:21,238 --> 01:05:23,474
And that's about all
I can tell you.
1158
01:05:23,507 --> 01:05:26,578
You sound kind of troubled, son.
Everything all right?
1159
01:05:26,611 --> 01:05:28,580
No, sir, it's not.
1160
01:05:28,613 --> 01:05:30,648
Well, you know, this work
can get rough sometimes.
1161
01:05:30,682 --> 01:05:32,316
I've never done
anything like this
1162
01:05:32,349 --> 01:05:34,318
and I know that
we don't know each other,
1163
01:05:34,351 --> 01:05:38,222
but I just don't know
what I'm doing here.
1164
01:05:38,255 --> 01:05:42,092
I hear you, son.
I hear you. I hear you.
1165
01:05:42,125 --> 01:05:44,261
I'm bored to tears.
1166
01:05:44,294 --> 01:05:45,663
Bored?
1167
01:05:45,697 --> 01:05:48,298
It ain't anything like what it
looks like in the papers, Mr. Lee.
1168
01:05:52,135 --> 01:05:56,139
Oh. Mr. Lee, um, I gotta go.
1169
01:05:56,173 --> 01:05:57,809
I'm sure this is costing you
an arm and leg anyways,
1170
01:05:57,842 --> 01:05:59,376
but I'll get your message
to Bob Moses.
1171
01:05:59,409 --> 01:06:02,479
Thank you, son.
Um, I appreciate you.
1172
01:06:03,781 --> 01:06:07,217
- You are?
- Bob Zellner.
1173
01:06:07,251 --> 01:06:09,253
East Brewton, Alabama.
1174
01:06:09,286 --> 01:06:14,157
Okay. Bob Zellner, East Brewton,
Alabama. I'm Jim Forman.
1175
01:06:14,191 --> 01:06:18,295
Oh, shoot. Am I glad to see you.
I got nothing but messages here.
1176
01:06:18,328 --> 01:06:20,264
You've been taking messages?
1177
01:06:21,098 --> 01:06:23,568
Yeah, that's about all
I've been doing.
1178
01:06:23,601 --> 01:06:26,203
- Well, how did you get in here?
- He gave me the keys.
1179
01:06:26,236 --> 01:06:28,606
Who in God's name
gave you keys?
1180
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,809
McDew. I think McDew.
He didn't tell me. I just gathered...
1181
01:06:31,843 --> 01:06:34,111
No, don't say another word.
1182
01:06:38,215 --> 01:06:41,853
This is June 22nd, 1961.
This is Jim Forman.
1183
01:06:41,886 --> 01:06:44,388
I'm here in the SNCC
headquarters, Atlanta, Georgia,
1184
01:06:44,421 --> 01:06:48,191
with Mr. Bob Zellner. From?
1185
01:06:48,225 --> 01:06:49,661
East Brewton, Alabama.
1186
01:06:49,694 --> 01:06:52,664
And East Brewton,
is a pretty small place?
1187
01:06:52,697 --> 01:06:55,098
Well, not so small
you could spit across it.
1188
01:06:55,132 --> 01:06:58,803
Can I assume that East Brewton,
like much of Alabama,
1189
01:06:58,836 --> 01:07:01,806
is segregated with
a healthy share of racism?
1190
01:07:01,839 --> 01:07:04,809
- Well, that and then some.
- Okay, but not you?
1191
01:07:07,579 --> 01:07:09,279
I don't think
I understand the question.
1192
01:07:09,313 --> 01:07:14,284
Okay, well, can you recall your
earliest memories of race?
1193
01:07:14,318 --> 01:07:16,754
- You know, I can.
- Well, what was it?
1194
01:07:16,788 --> 01:07:20,625
I was about
four years old,
1195
01:07:20,658 --> 01:07:24,394
shopping with my mother at a
downtown store where everybody went.
1196
01:07:24,428 --> 01:07:25,395
Mm-hmm.
1197
01:07:25,429 --> 01:07:28,398
My mother just bought me
a little water pistol.
1198
01:07:28,432 --> 01:07:31,134
I spotted a fountain
pretty close to my own height
1199
01:07:31,168 --> 01:07:32,737
to go fill it up.
1200
01:07:32,770 --> 01:07:35,138
And so I turn the lever
for that water,
1201
01:07:35,172 --> 01:07:36,841
get that little
water pistol open,
1202
01:07:36,874 --> 01:07:38,710
and just as I'm about
to fill that thing up,
1203
01:07:38,743 --> 01:07:40,912
a pair of hands grabs me
from behind,
1204
01:07:40,945 --> 01:07:43,347
turns me around.
1205
01:07:43,380 --> 01:07:46,651
It was a woman, never
seen her before in my life.
1206
01:07:46,684 --> 01:07:48,653
Perfect stranger.
She said to me...
1207
01:07:48,686 --> 01:07:51,488
That water fountain's
not for little white boys.
1208
01:07:51,521 --> 01:07:53,357
You see that sign over there?
1209
01:07:53,390 --> 01:07:54,859
That says "colored"
1210
01:07:54,892 --> 01:07:57,729
and that sign over there,
that says "white"
1211
01:07:57,762 --> 01:07:59,463
and that's what you are.
1212
01:07:59,496 --> 01:08:00,932
Don't let anybody catch you
1213
01:08:00,965 --> 01:08:03,166
drinking out of
the colored fountain.
1214
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,571
If you want a drink of water,
just ask anybody to lift you up.
1215
01:08:06,604 --> 01:08:08,472
Indoctrination.
1216
01:08:08,505 --> 01:08:10,708
- Go along to get along.
- Mm.
1217
01:08:12,476 --> 01:08:15,545
So you really didn't have much
to do with Black folks?
1218
01:08:15,580 --> 01:08:18,181
Oh, yeah, I did. Yeah.
1219
01:08:18,215 --> 01:08:21,586
The South is a funny place.
1220
01:08:21,619 --> 01:08:24,889
You know, I worked
in a general store.
1221
01:08:24,922 --> 01:08:27,925
I waited on Black folks
as I did white folks.
1222
01:08:27,959 --> 01:08:30,595
There's not a whole lot of
separation between the races there.
1223
01:08:30,628 --> 01:08:32,797
There were definitely rules
to abide by, though.
1224
01:08:33,865 --> 01:08:35,933
What rules were those?
1225
01:08:35,967 --> 01:08:38,670
I couldn't carry anything
out to a Negro customer
1226
01:08:38,703 --> 01:08:40,470
even if they were
old and feeble,
1227
01:08:40,504 --> 01:08:42,539
no matter how heavy it was.
1228
01:08:42,573 --> 01:08:44,609
I could if there weren't
any white people around.
1229
01:08:45,576 --> 01:08:49,479
And, uh, I had to see
to the white folks
1230
01:08:49,513 --> 01:08:51,381
before seeing any
of the Black customers,
1231
01:08:51,415 --> 01:08:54,819
no matter how long they've been
standing there, that sort of thing.
1232
01:08:54,852 --> 01:08:58,255
So how is it that
you are here, Bob Zellner,
1233
01:08:58,288 --> 01:09:00,858
instead of out somewhere
kicking Negro ass?
1234
01:09:00,892 --> 01:09:02,459
That will be my daddy.
1235
01:09:03,326 --> 01:09:04,562
I think, yeah.
1236
01:09:04,595 --> 01:09:06,764
He's a minister,
and he was in the Klan.
1237
01:09:08,465 --> 01:09:11,535
Let me explain.
1238
01:09:11,569 --> 01:09:15,673
My daddy went on a cultural exchange
in the '30s to the Soviet Union.
1239
01:09:15,707 --> 01:09:17,875
And he was there
for a long time,
1240
01:09:17,909 --> 01:09:19,342
and he was starting
to get homesick,
1241
01:09:19,376 --> 01:09:24,548
and one day, he hears that there's
a Baptist gospel choir from Georgia
1242
01:09:24,582 --> 01:09:26,918
performing at
the same town that he was in.
1243
01:09:26,951 --> 01:09:29,687
I can tell you I was pretty excited
to see some folks from home.
1244
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:31,889
But when I got there...
1245
01:09:32,724 --> 01:09:35,292
turns out that
it was this Black choir.
1246
01:09:36,027 --> 01:09:37,762
I was taken aback,
1247
01:09:38,930 --> 01:09:42,600
but, uh, they started singing.
1248
01:09:42,633 --> 01:09:45,302
It was one of the most
beautiful sounds I'd ever heard.
1249
01:09:48,472 --> 01:09:51,408
Afterwards, we started
traveling together.
1250
01:09:51,441 --> 01:09:53,477
We went all over that
whole part of Russia.
1251
01:09:55,378 --> 01:09:57,314
Bob, pretty soon
a terrible thing happened.
1252
01:09:57,815 --> 01:09:59,016
What was that?
1253
01:09:59,050 --> 01:10:00,818
I went color blind.
1254
01:10:03,420 --> 01:10:05,322
It hit me one evening that...
1255
01:10:06,624 --> 01:10:07,825
I was ruined
1256
01:10:08,659 --> 01:10:09,761
as a Klansman.
1257
01:10:13,564 --> 01:10:16,567
I had to go back and tell
my own daddy that.
1258
01:10:16,601 --> 01:10:18,401
He didn't want anything
to do with the Klan
1259
01:10:18,435 --> 01:10:19,937
and their robes
for the rest of his life.
1260
01:10:19,971 --> 01:10:21,072
He had a robe and all?
1261
01:10:21,105 --> 01:10:23,574
Several, for different
occasions and such, I guess.
1262
01:10:23,608 --> 01:10:26,043
And one day, my mother
cut 'em all up
1263
01:10:26,077 --> 01:10:28,880
and made shirts out of 'em
for me and my brothers.
1264
01:10:28,913 --> 01:10:30,848
Not... not this one.
1265
01:10:30,882 --> 01:10:33,050
Just when I was younger.
1266
01:10:34,051 --> 01:10:36,319
Yeah, this is from a catalog.
1267
01:10:36,353 --> 01:10:38,856
Okay. Well...
1268
01:10:41,592 --> 01:10:43,027
...that'll be enough for now.
1269
01:10:43,060 --> 01:10:45,730
Well, should we, uh, pack up,
1270
01:10:45,763 --> 01:10:47,598
clean up, close up shop?
1271
01:10:47,632 --> 01:10:50,500
- What's in the briefcase?
- I don't know. I thought you'd know.
1272
01:10:50,534 --> 01:10:51,803
Oh, really? How would I know?
1273
01:10:59,110 --> 01:11:01,679
- What is all that?
- Well, it's SNCC.
1274
01:11:01,712 --> 01:11:03,714
That's the whole organization
right here.
1275
01:11:03,748 --> 01:11:05,683
The whole organization
is in that briefcase?
1276
01:11:05,716 --> 01:11:08,786
- How big is SNCC?
- Counting you?
1277
01:11:08,820 --> 01:11:10,054
Good night!
1278
01:11:12,590 --> 01:11:15,593
So, what is it that you think
you can do for SNCC?
1279
01:11:15,626 --> 01:11:21,766
What I was thinking was, somehow I
could be a liaison to college students.
1280
01:11:21,799 --> 01:11:24,702
I know there's still a lot of people
on the fence about the whole issue.
1281
01:11:24,735 --> 01:11:26,804
And maybe I could go around
1282
01:11:26,838 --> 01:11:29,607
college campuses,
talking to students about the Negro cause.
1283
01:11:30,641 --> 01:11:31,642
The what?
1284
01:11:33,077 --> 01:11:34,779
The Negra cause.
1285
01:11:36,180 --> 01:11:39,449
Well, for one thing, you better
learn how to pronounce the word.
1286
01:11:39,482 --> 01:11:42,820
- It's Negro.
- Negra.
1287
01:11:43,788 --> 01:11:47,457
- Negro.
- Negra.
1288
01:11:47,892 --> 01:11:49,126
No.
1289
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:50,393
Negro.
1290
01:11:51,896 --> 01:11:53,430
What am I saying?
1291
01:11:53,463 --> 01:11:55,833
What you're saying, "Ne-gruh."
1292
01:11:55,867 --> 01:11:58,736
Okay. I'm gonna
break it down for you.
1293
01:12:00,071 --> 01:12:01,371
What is that?
1294
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,108
My knee.
1295
01:12:04,141 --> 01:12:06,944
Right. How does a child
get bigger?
1296
01:12:07,278 --> 01:12:08,746
They grow.
1297
01:12:08,779 --> 01:12:10,047
Now, put it together.
1298
01:12:10,081 --> 01:12:12,617
Okay. Take your time.
1299
01:12:12,650 --> 01:12:15,720
- Knee grow.
- Once again.
1300
01:12:15,753 --> 01:12:17,121
Negro.
1301
01:12:18,521 --> 01:12:20,457
Right. I got it.
1302
01:12:21,458 --> 01:12:24,996
Negro. Negro.
1303
01:12:29,133 --> 01:12:31,035
Negro.
1304
01:12:31,068 --> 01:12:32,169
Negro.
1305
01:12:33,638 --> 01:12:35,773
- What did you say?
- He's okay. He's with me.
1306
01:12:35,806 --> 01:12:36,741
He's with you?
1307
01:12:36,774 --> 01:12:39,076
He's trying to learn
how to say something.
1308
01:12:39,110 --> 01:12:41,012
And "Negro" is the word
he's trying to learn to say?
1309
01:12:41,045 --> 01:12:42,747
So what word was he using?
1310
01:12:42,780 --> 01:12:44,514
We're not looking
for any trouble.
1311
01:12:44,547 --> 01:12:45,750
We were just having some coffee.
1312
01:12:45,783 --> 01:12:48,719
Well, look at that.
Your monkey speaks.
1313
01:12:48,753 --> 01:12:53,057
- Did you just call me a monkey?
- Deepest apologies, to the monkeys.
1314
01:12:53,090 --> 01:12:55,927
Listen. I don't know you.
You don't know me.
1315
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:57,228
Let's just keep it that way.
1316
01:12:57,261 --> 01:12:59,163
The only way to that...
1317
01:12:59,196 --> 01:13:01,632
is if you take this coffee...
1318
01:13:03,167 --> 01:13:04,669
to go.
1319
01:13:04,702 --> 01:13:06,904
Ah! What the hell?
1320
01:13:08,773 --> 01:13:10,107
Bob. Bob! Settle down.
1321
01:13:10,141 --> 01:13:13,177
You better put a leash on your
redneck before it gets hurt, Jim.
1322
01:13:13,210 --> 01:13:14,477
Reggie.
1323
01:13:14,511 --> 01:13:15,947
Bob is a volunteer.
1324
01:13:17,214 --> 01:13:18,849
We're recruiting
from the Klan now?
1325
01:13:19,917 --> 01:13:21,152
He's for real, Reggie.
1326
01:13:21,185 --> 01:13:24,487
Oh, yeah, I can see that.
1327
01:13:24,521 --> 01:13:27,591
Well, I was thinking of starting
him on his non-violent training.
1328
01:13:27,625 --> 01:13:28,626
Mm-hmm.
1329
01:13:30,094 --> 01:13:31,562
He could use that.
1330
01:13:33,097 --> 01:13:34,632
But you know what I see...
1331
01:13:36,067 --> 01:13:38,169
when I look
at Mr. Wonderbread here?
1332
01:13:40,805 --> 01:13:41,973
I see FBI.
1333
01:13:44,909 --> 01:13:47,878
Mm. Maybe some local fuzz.
1334
01:13:47,912 --> 01:13:50,081
You think they're trying
to infiltrate us
1335
01:13:50,114 --> 01:13:52,049
by sending us a good old boy?
1336
01:13:52,083 --> 01:13:53,784
That's about they speed.
1337
01:13:59,056 --> 01:14:02,026
Look at him, sitting there
just egging us on.
1338
01:14:14,271 --> 01:14:16,574
Monkey see, monkey do.
1339
01:14:16,607 --> 01:14:18,275
You know what monkeys are like?
I know what monkeys are like.
1340
01:14:18,309 --> 01:14:20,144
Oh, yeah.
1341
01:14:29,253 --> 01:14:30,855
- Leon! Leon!
- I can't do this!
1342
01:14:30,888 --> 01:14:32,857
- Cool down. Cool down, baby.
- I can't! No!
1343
01:14:32,890 --> 01:14:36,627
- Cool down, baby.
- I can't do this. No.
1344
01:14:36,660 --> 01:14:38,162
- Cool down.
- I can't do this.
1345
01:14:38,195 --> 01:14:39,964
Cool down. Sit down.
1346
01:14:41,098 --> 01:14:43,901
There you go.
Sit down. All right?
1347
01:14:48,005 --> 01:14:52,076
- I can't do this.
- I know, I can see that.
1348
01:14:52,109 --> 01:14:55,112
But, Leon, if you want
to participate,
1349
01:14:55,146 --> 01:14:57,281
this is what you're
gonna have to learn.
1350
01:14:57,314 --> 01:14:59,050
We ought to be
fighting back.
1351
01:14:59,083 --> 01:15:01,619
We ought to be killing
the white sons of bitches!
1352
01:15:01,652 --> 01:15:04,355
Listen, you can't
kill all of 'em.
1353
01:15:04,388 --> 01:15:06,157
And we'll be the ones
that are getting killed.
1354
01:15:10,928 --> 01:15:13,030
And then, we won't be able
to change anything.
1355
01:15:14,965 --> 01:15:17,668
I know it's hard.
1356
01:15:17,701 --> 01:15:20,638
And I know that
you want to strike back,
1357
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:24,942
but you gotta try
this other thing.
1358
01:15:27,344 --> 01:15:28,746
It can work.
1359
01:15:28,779 --> 01:15:30,815
Gandhi defeated
the British Empire
1360
01:15:32,283 --> 01:15:33,584
and never...
1361
01:15:35,086 --> 01:15:36,287
fired a shot.
1362
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,889
I just see red sometimes.
1363
01:15:38,923 --> 01:15:40,191
Me too, brother.
1364
01:15:46,197 --> 01:15:47,731
Me too.
1365
01:15:49,900 --> 01:15:52,136
Uh, yeah?
1366
01:15:52,703 --> 01:15:53,838
Come in.
1367
01:15:57,708 --> 01:15:59,376
- Buonanotte.
- What's that?
1368
01:15:59,410 --> 01:16:01,278
"Good night" in Italian.
1369
01:16:01,946 --> 01:16:04,648
Bonne nuit. French.
1370
01:16:04,682 --> 01:16:06,750
Gute Nacht. German.
1371
01:16:07,918 --> 01:16:10,855
Oyasuminasai. Japanese.
1372
01:16:11,122 --> 01:16:12,323
Wow.
1373
01:16:16,794 --> 01:16:18,295
- About today...
- That was pretty rough.
1374
01:16:18,329 --> 01:16:21,132
I guess I should probably go
through that training too, huh?
1375
01:16:21,165 --> 01:16:23,234
I bit a girl's hand
my first time.
1376
01:16:23,267 --> 01:16:25,302
- Dang.
- I did.
1377
01:16:27,071 --> 01:16:29,807
But the real deal is
much worse.
1378
01:16:30,708 --> 01:16:31,742
You should know that.
1379
01:16:31,775 --> 01:16:33,711
I know.
1380
01:16:33,744 --> 01:16:35,946
I was in a riot once,
right there with you.
1381
01:16:35,980 --> 01:16:38,749
But no one was throwing
punches at your head, Bob.
1382
01:16:40,217 --> 01:16:42,353
When they do, you think
you're gonna throw punches back?
1383
01:16:42,386 --> 01:16:44,388
Well, that's the whole point,
not to, right?
1384
01:16:44,421 --> 01:16:47,691
That is the point.
But can you do that?
1385
01:16:51,228 --> 01:16:52,930
What you drinking?
1386
01:16:52,963 --> 01:16:56,133
Mai Tai cocktail.
You wanna try?
1387
01:16:56,167 --> 01:16:58,836
Shoot. I'll try anything
three times.
1388
01:16:58,869 --> 01:17:01,172
Well,
you might not like it.
1389
01:17:01,772 --> 01:17:03,440
This looks pretty good.
1390
01:17:06,277 --> 01:17:07,945
I'm sorry. That's terrible.
1391
01:17:07,978 --> 01:17:09,313
Oh, shoot.
1392
01:17:09,346 --> 01:17:10,481
Did you really
just do that?
1393
01:17:10,514 --> 01:17:11,982
I'll get it.
I'm in my birthday suit.
1394
01:17:12,016 --> 01:17:14,018
- No, it's fine. I can...
- Oh.
1395
01:17:14,051 --> 01:17:15,719
- Sorry.
- It's all right.
1396
01:17:23,427 --> 01:17:25,029
Should we be doing this?
1397
01:17:25,462 --> 01:17:26,897
Probably not.
1398
01:17:37,107 --> 01:17:40,844
Oh. It all makes sense now.
1399
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,949
Old Bobby has
just been sniffing around.
1400
01:17:45,516 --> 01:17:46,984
- Slumming
- Reggie.
1401
01:17:47,017 --> 01:17:49,253
Born for this, right,
Wonderbread?
1402
01:17:49,286 --> 01:17:51,822
Because you certainly living
the great Southern tradition.
1403
01:17:57,194 --> 01:17:59,396
So you're telling me you
didn't use the pool, not once?
1404
01:17:59,430 --> 01:18:03,801
No. They make you wear
trunks now to swim at the YMCA.
1405
01:18:03,834 --> 01:18:05,069
What do you mean?
1406
01:18:05,102 --> 01:18:07,271
Well, up until now,
they wouldn't let you wear anything.
1407
01:18:07,304 --> 01:18:08,872
You mean like butt naked?
1408
01:18:08,906 --> 01:18:11,141
That's the only way
you could swim in the Y.
1409
01:18:11,175 --> 01:18:13,377
Yeah. That's why I didn't swim.
I didn't have a trunk.
1410
01:18:19,516 --> 01:18:22,119
- They killed Herbert Lee.
- What?
1411
01:18:22,152 --> 01:18:23,354
How did it happen?
1412
01:18:23,387 --> 01:18:25,522
His white neighbor killed him.
1413
01:18:25,557 --> 01:18:28,459
State legislator named
E. H. Hurst...
1414
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,929
gunned him down...
1415
01:18:31,962 --> 01:18:33,530
in the bright of day.
1416
01:18:33,565 --> 01:18:34,898
I loved that nigger.
1417
01:18:37,401 --> 01:18:40,170
And I hated I had to do
what I had to do.
1418
01:18:40,204 --> 01:18:42,373
He didn't leave me no choice.
1419
01:18:42,406 --> 01:18:45,142
I mean, you can't just stand by
and let 'em run all over you.
1420
01:18:45,175 --> 01:18:48,045
No reason to feel bad
for doing what you had to do.
1421
01:18:51,348 --> 01:18:53,951
You know, I loaned him
the money to buy his place.
1422
01:18:54,551 --> 01:18:56,086
That's the thanks I get?
1423
01:18:56,588 --> 01:18:58,322
Registering to vote.
1424
01:19:01,258 --> 01:19:02,826
Just a damn ingrate.
1425
01:19:02,860 --> 01:19:04,461
They didn't even
arrest him, did they?
1426
01:19:38,429 --> 01:19:40,331
Calling everyone to McComb.
1427
01:19:40,364 --> 01:19:41,865
Bob Moses is there.
1428
01:19:43,233 --> 01:19:44,935
So is McDew,
1429
01:19:44,968 --> 01:19:46,904
half a dozen SNCC staffers.
1430
01:19:46,937 --> 01:19:48,906
It'll be the first time
we all in one place...
1431
01:19:50,274 --> 01:19:52,309
to be able to have
that SNCC staff meeting.
1432
01:19:52,343 --> 01:19:54,912
- Bob?
- Yeah. I'm there.
1433
01:19:54,945 --> 01:19:56,280
We're gonna need your car.
1434
01:20:16,500 --> 01:20:17,901
Dang it.
1435
01:20:17,935 --> 01:20:19,336
It's so hot under here.
1436
01:20:19,370 --> 01:20:21,071
Couldn't we have just got
a sheet or something?
1437
01:20:21,105 --> 01:20:23,374
Leon, you hear
what this cracker just said?
1438
01:20:23,407 --> 01:20:25,610
- Hmm?
- He said he wants a sheet
1439
01:20:25,643 --> 01:20:27,612
instead of them filthy blankets.
1440
01:20:27,645 --> 01:20:31,583
Just like a white cat to feel
more comfortable in a sheet.
1441
01:20:39,156 --> 01:20:41,358
Oh, come on, Bobby.
That was funny.
1442
01:20:41,392 --> 01:20:43,293
We've got to watch this one.
That's for sure.
1443
01:20:43,327 --> 01:20:45,295
- For sure.
- I got to sit up.
1444
01:20:45,329 --> 01:20:48,198
- Oh, whoa, whoa!
- No, no, no, no.
1445
01:20:48,232 --> 01:20:50,434
We ain't gonna let no
cracker cop see us riding
1446
01:20:50,467 --> 01:20:52,136
with a white boy like you.
1447
01:20:52,169 --> 01:20:55,139
- I'm gonna melt.
- You gotta suffer for the cause, baby.
1448
01:20:55,172 --> 01:20:56,940
You gotta suffer
for the cause.
1449
01:21:36,046 --> 01:21:37,615
Since Herbert Lee's
murder,
1450
01:21:37,649 --> 01:21:40,017
there have been
a number of actions
1451
01:21:40,050 --> 01:21:41,653
by high school students
in McComb
1452
01:21:41,686 --> 01:21:44,354
organized by brother
Bob Moses here.
1453
01:21:44,388 --> 01:21:46,490
Three of these students
were arrested
1454
01:21:46,523 --> 01:21:47,692
sitting at a lunch counter
1455
01:21:47,725 --> 01:21:49,493
at the five and dime
on the square.
1456
01:21:50,461 --> 01:21:51,763
They're being released today,
1457
01:21:51,796 --> 01:21:55,466
but I've just been informed that
there will be an assembly held
1458
01:21:55,499 --> 01:21:58,770
at the high school at which the principal
will be addressing the student body
1459
01:21:58,803 --> 01:22:00,605
on these three students.
1460
01:22:00,638 --> 01:22:02,406
Now we're expecting a...
1461
01:22:06,711 --> 01:22:09,112
♪ We've done all you wanted
1462
01:22:09,146 --> 01:22:12,516
♪ We've done all you want, Lord
1463
01:22:12,549 --> 01:22:14,719
♪ We've done
All you wanted... ♪
1464
01:22:17,755 --> 01:22:19,323
Hey. What is it?
1465
01:22:19,356 --> 01:22:21,291
They wouldn't let Brenda Travis
back in.
1466
01:22:21,325 --> 01:22:22,794
They're trying to send her
to a reform school.
1467
01:22:22,827 --> 01:22:24,461
The principal just caved.
1468
01:22:24,495 --> 01:22:26,129
We're going to march
on Magnolia.
1469
01:22:26,163 --> 01:22:27,498
We wanna make some signs.
1470
01:22:28,332 --> 01:22:30,400
Okay. Uh, Leon,
1471
01:22:30,434 --> 01:22:31,736
Chuck, give them
some papers.
1472
01:22:34,839 --> 01:22:38,610
When they get up to go,
you just stay back.
1473
01:22:38,643 --> 01:22:41,579
It's crazy marching off
like this without a plan.
1474
01:22:42,647 --> 01:22:45,148
I shouldn't be
involved in this.
1475
01:22:45,182 --> 01:22:47,117
Everybody's gonna get
thrown in jail
1476
01:22:47,150 --> 01:22:48,720
and I can't get arrested.
1477
01:22:49,687 --> 01:22:51,689
I gotta leave tomorrow.
1478
01:22:51,723 --> 01:22:54,258
This is happening too quick.
1479
01:22:54,291 --> 01:22:58,195
If I get busted,
what's gonna happen to my mama and daddy?
1480
01:22:58,228 --> 01:23:00,698
Everybody will find out
back home,
1481
01:23:00,732 --> 01:23:03,233
and there'll be hell to pay.
1482
01:23:03,267 --> 01:23:06,804
Daddy will lose his church.
If I'm a part of this,
1483
01:23:06,838 --> 01:23:09,540
it will just cause more
violence down here than normal.
1484
01:23:13,243 --> 01:23:16,213
Really, Bob? What's
a normal level of violence?
1485
01:23:18,750 --> 01:23:21,485
You can lay back here
with me if you want.
1486
01:23:21,518 --> 01:23:23,186
You're not going?
1487
01:23:23,220 --> 01:23:24,789
Somebody always
has to stay back.
1488
01:23:24,822 --> 01:23:27,324
So it's been decided.
Reggie and I will hang here.
1489
01:23:28,358 --> 01:23:31,361
Get people out of jail,
that sort of thing?
1490
01:23:31,395 --> 01:23:33,297
I'll hang with the march
for a little bit,
1491
01:23:33,330 --> 01:23:34,832
but at some point,
I'll have to turn back.
1492
01:23:38,235 --> 01:23:40,738
This isn't make-believe
anymore, Bob.
1493
01:23:42,406 --> 01:23:45,208
Things are gonna get
real serious out there.
1494
01:23:45,242 --> 01:23:49,714
Nobody here expects you to
step out that door, lover boy.
1495
01:23:51,649 --> 01:23:53,851
Anyway, you already got

Bob, keep your head down.
1559
01:27:06,577 --> 01:27:07,612
They're gonna kill him.
1560
01:27:12,950 --> 01:27:15,318
Oh, we gotta get out of here.
1561
01:27:49,386 --> 01:27:50,688
I want to make a phone call.
1562
01:27:51,421 --> 01:27:52,522
You want what?
1563
01:27:53,456 --> 01:27:54,926
Every prisoner has a right
to a phone call
1564
01:27:54,959 --> 01:27:56,928
and I want to make mine
right now.
1565
01:27:56,961 --> 01:27:58,796
But you're not under arrest.
1566
01:27:58,830 --> 01:28:00,631
- Then arrest me.
- For what?
1567
01:28:01,732 --> 01:28:03,601
What did you get
everybody else for?
1568
01:28:03,634 --> 01:28:05,770
- Breaching the peace.
- Okay, then.
1569
01:28:05,803 --> 01:28:07,370
Well, I can't do that.
1570
01:28:07,404 --> 01:28:11,441
- Why not?
- Because you didn't breach the peace.
1571
01:28:11,474 --> 01:28:13,878
I had a right to be down there
but everybody else didn't?
1572
01:28:13,911 --> 01:28:15,680
Well, put him
at the head of the class.
1573
01:28:17,148 --> 01:28:18,649
What if I slug
this fellow right here?
1574
01:28:18,683 --> 01:28:19,516
Is that enough
to get me arrested?
1575
01:28:19,549 --> 01:28:21,619
Jay-Jay, get him
the hell out of here.
1576
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:31,562
Jay-Jay,
why don't you slow up?
1577
01:28:31,596 --> 01:28:33,798
Uh, I don't think
ain't nobody chasing us.
1578
01:28:33,831 --> 01:28:36,100
Yeah, Jay-Jay,
why don't you slow up?
1579
01:28:36,133 --> 01:28:37,768
You ain't in any real hurry,
are you?
1580
01:28:37,802 --> 01:28:39,704
Hey, why don't you shut up?
1581
01:28:39,737 --> 01:28:41,706
You New York
Jew bastard communist.
1582
01:28:41,739 --> 01:28:43,007
You really a communist?
1583
01:28:44,041 --> 01:28:47,444
Well, Jay-Jay says so.
1584
01:28:47,477 --> 01:28:49,981
I ain't never heard nobody
speak no communist.
1585
01:28:50,014 --> 01:28:51,682
Can you say something
communist for me?
1586
01:28:51,716 --> 01:28:53,516
Younger, shut up.
1587
01:28:53,550 --> 01:28:56,553
But I ain't never heard nobody
speak no communist before.
1588
01:28:56,587 --> 01:28:58,656
You ain't got the sense
God gave a billy goat.
1589
01:28:59,690 --> 01:29:01,125
He always talk to you like that?
1590
01:29:02,126 --> 01:29:04,028
Yeah, pretty much.
1591
01:29:04,061 --> 01:29:06,197
Younger, I told you
to button it.
1592
01:29:06,230 --> 01:29:09,867
And stop talking to that goddamn
New York Jew commie bastard.
1593
01:29:09,901 --> 01:29:12,703
What do you know about New York, Jay-Jay?
You ever been up there?
1594
01:29:12,737 --> 01:29:16,539
No. And I don't
plan to go neither.
1595
01:29:16,574 --> 01:29:19,877
But I guess we'll be sending your
remains back up there to somebody.
1596
01:29:19,911 --> 01:29:23,681
My remains will be sent back to
Alabama since that's where I'm from.
1597
01:29:24,582 --> 01:29:26,651
- You're lying.
- No.
1598
01:29:26,684 --> 01:29:28,119
Daddy's a Methodist minister
1599
01:29:28,152 --> 01:29:30,553
and I'm from East Brewton,
Alabama.
1600
01:29:40,831 --> 01:29:42,700
You're telling me
you're from Alabama?
1601
01:29:42,733 --> 01:29:44,501
We got cousins over
in Dothan.
1602
01:29:44,534 --> 01:29:46,503
That ain't far from Brewton.
Maybe you know 'em.
1603
01:29:46,536 --> 01:29:48,039
- Ethel...
- Younger!
1604
01:29:49,073 --> 01:29:51,108
We're not making friends here.
1605
01:29:52,576 --> 01:29:54,078
Your daddy's a minister.
1606
01:29:55,512 --> 01:29:57,581
Where did he go
to seminary school?
1607
01:29:57,615 --> 01:29:59,951
Bob Jones College.
You ever heard of it?
1608
01:29:59,984 --> 01:30:01,986
I heard of Bob Jones.
1609
01:30:02,019 --> 01:30:05,756
- He's got a school?
- Yeah, it's who I'm named after.
1610
01:30:05,790 --> 01:30:08,159
I'm telling, y'all.
I'm from Alabama.
1611
01:30:08,192 --> 01:30:09,694
He sure sound like it.
1612
01:30:13,831 --> 01:30:15,800
Does your mother know
that you're doing this?
1613
01:30:16,533 --> 01:30:17,534
She knows.
1614
01:30:18,936 --> 01:30:20,771
You should be ashamed
of yourself.
1615
01:30:22,773 --> 01:30:24,675
A minister's boy too...
1616
01:30:24,709 --> 01:30:27,011
named after Bob Jones
and everything.
1617
01:30:27,044 --> 01:30:28,545
Get him back in the car.
1618
01:31:03,748 --> 01:31:06,017
There he is. Come on, Younger.
1619
01:31:06,050 --> 01:31:09,186
- Where you going?
- I'm out.
1620
01:31:09,220 --> 01:31:12,656
- You... What's going on here?
- This boy's from Alabama.
1621
01:31:12,690 --> 01:31:14,792
Well, no shit.
1622
01:31:14,825 --> 01:31:16,060
You already knew that?
1623
01:31:16,093 --> 01:31:18,729
You gotta draw the line
somewhere, Jay-Jay.
1624
01:31:18,763 --> 01:31:20,865
And this boy here
is way over it.
1625
01:31:22,066 --> 01:31:24,001
Hey, Doc.
1626
01:31:24,035 --> 01:31:26,904
Back in town, how come you didn't
have the guts to step forward?
1627
01:31:26,937 --> 01:31:28,039
Why don't you shut up, Bob?
1628
01:31:28,072 --> 01:31:30,041
Bob? You know him?
1629
01:31:30,074 --> 01:31:33,010
Oh, yeah. We went to school together.
Go ahead.
1630
01:31:33,044 --> 01:31:35,079
I'm warning you, boy.
Tie him up.
1631
01:31:36,914 --> 01:31:40,251
We about to hang a buddy of yours.
That don't seem right.
1632
01:31:40,284 --> 01:31:42,920
We are in crap
right up to our necks.
1633
01:31:42,953 --> 01:31:45,089
I'm out
and I'm taking Younger with me.
1634
01:31:45,122 --> 01:31:46,791
There ain't no reason to be out.
1635
01:31:46,824 --> 01:31:48,359
Everybody has seen us take him.
1636
01:31:48,392 --> 01:31:49,593
That don't matter.
1637
01:31:50,728 --> 01:31:51,829
You sure about that?
1638
01:31:51,862 --> 01:31:55,199
Did you know who everybody was downtown?
I didn't.
1639
01:31:55,232 --> 01:31:57,001
There was what looked like
feds down there.
1640
01:31:57,034 --> 01:31:59,203
Well, murder is a state charge.
1641
01:31:59,236 --> 01:32:02,239
And you never saw the feds do anything
to anybody else any other time.
1642
01:32:02,273 --> 01:32:04,175
This ain't like any other time!
1643
01:32:04,208 --> 01:32:06,310
When they give you
all the chair for killing me,
1644
01:32:06,343 --> 01:32:09,013
I guess it'll be justice
for everybody else you killed.
1645
01:32:10,147 --> 01:32:11,816
Nobody is getting the chair.
1646
01:32:11,849 --> 01:32:14,652
He's from Alabama.
You went to school with him.
1647
01:32:14,685 --> 01:32:16,087
They're gonna give us
the chair for sure.
1648
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:17,388
You knew
his daddy's a minister?
1649
01:32:17,421 --> 01:32:20,324
It... Nothing
is gonna happen to us.
1650
01:32:20,357 --> 01:32:23,027
Nothing's gonna happen to me
'cause I'm gone.
1651
01:32:23,060 --> 01:32:25,296
You do what you want.
Let's go.
1652
01:32:25,329 --> 01:32:28,232
Feds will still get you for
aiding and abetting, Jay-Jay.
1653
01:32:43,948 --> 01:32:45,149
Okay!
1654
01:32:48,853 --> 01:32:51,755
What the hell?
I didn't give no goddamn signal!
1655
01:32:51,789 --> 01:32:52,890
Cut the rope!
1656
01:32:52,923 --> 01:32:54,625
Cut the goddamn rope.
1657
01:33:30,928 --> 01:33:33,063
Holy Jesus and Mary.
1658
01:33:33,097 --> 01:33:36,901
There was a civil rights march in
McComb, Mississippi yesterday.
1659
01:33:36,934 --> 01:33:39,770
Oh... How many people were hurt?
1660
01:33:39,803 --> 01:33:42,173
And guess who they say led it?
1661
01:33:42,206 --> 01:33:45,142
Twenty-two-year-old
Robert Zellner.
1662
01:33:45,176 --> 01:33:47,711
- That can't be right.
- We better call somebody.
1663
01:33:49,413 --> 01:33:52,349
Operator. I want to make
a call to Alabama.
1664
01:33:52,383 --> 01:33:54,385
Hey, there,
Mr. Civil Rights leader.
1665
01:33:54,418 --> 01:33:56,153
- Good morning.
- How's your neck?
1666
01:33:56,187 --> 01:34:00,357
Oh. My neck already had
a tinge of red to it.
1667
01:34:00,391 --> 01:34:02,092
Well...
1668
01:34:02,126 --> 01:34:04,061
according to the New York paper,
1669
01:34:04,094 --> 01:34:08,465
you, Mr. Robert Zellner,
led the first civil rights march
1670
01:34:08,499 --> 01:34:10,401
in the great state
of Mississippi.
1671
01:34:10,434 --> 01:34:12,002
It's the great state of Alabama.
1672
01:34:12,036 --> 01:34:13,070
What did you say?
1673
01:34:14,972 --> 01:34:17,775
Why would they write that?
That's a lie.
1674
01:34:17,808 --> 01:34:20,077
They looked out
and saw a hundred Black folk
1675
01:34:20,110 --> 01:34:21,779
and thought
they couldn't possibly
1676
01:34:21,812 --> 01:34:24,782
have the guts
or brains to pull that off.
1677
01:34:24,815 --> 01:34:28,152
And then they saw you and thought,
"Oh, it all makes sense now."
1678
01:34:28,185 --> 01:34:30,354
Man, I didn't mean to.
1679
01:34:30,387 --> 01:34:32,356
No, well, you're famous now.
1680
01:34:32,389 --> 01:34:34,458
But, as my mother always says,
1681
01:34:34,491 --> 01:34:37,895
"Don't believe anything you
read, only half of what you see."
1682
01:34:37,928 --> 01:34:39,930
Yeah, right.
1683
01:34:39,964 --> 01:34:41,832
You still plan on
skipping town today?
1684
01:34:41,865 --> 01:34:43,934
Reggie told me
you have a bus to catch.
1685
01:34:43,968 --> 01:34:46,337
- A bus?
- Your friend from the bridge came by
1686
01:34:46,370 --> 01:34:48,205
and burned your car.
1687
01:34:49,006 --> 01:34:50,107
He did what?
1688
01:34:51,809 --> 01:34:53,310
So, you think about
1689
01:34:53,344 --> 01:34:56,247
coming down to visit for
Thanksgiving or Christmas break?
1690
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:57,848
I have been considering it.
1691
01:34:58,482 --> 01:34:59,483
Okay.
1692
01:35:00,384 --> 01:35:02,319
Well, write me.
1693
01:35:02,353 --> 01:35:05,422
You know, you could think about
coming up for a visit as well.
1694
01:35:05,456 --> 01:35:08,826
- I could think about that.
- Don't think too long.
1695
01:35:08,859 --> 01:35:11,528
And it won't hurt to take
a language while you're up.
1696
01:35:26,076 --> 01:35:29,280
Somebody said they saw you
coming out here.
1697
01:35:29,313 --> 01:35:32,516
I see you still enjoy the
company of mongrels over men.
1698
01:35:32,549 --> 01:35:36,020
Let it go, Bob.
Your bus will be here in a minute.
1699
01:35:36,053 --> 01:35:39,223
What the Black bitch says
is true.
1700
01:35:39,256 --> 01:35:43,160
Nothing down here is any of
your business any which way.
1701
01:35:43,193 --> 01:35:46,163
I just came by to remind you that
if you do decide to come back,
1702
01:35:46,196 --> 01:35:47,331
I got something waiting...
1703
01:35:55,139 --> 01:35:57,808
- Bob...
- Don't you say another damn thing.
1704
01:36:02,346 --> 01:36:05,449
Hey! I just bought that.
1705
01:36:05,482 --> 01:36:08,452
Don't get in between white folks
arguing, you hear me?
1706
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:11,623
Ain't you supposed to be
non-violent now?
1707
01:36:11,656 --> 01:36:13,957
I'm having a real big problem
with that right now
1708
01:36:13,991 --> 01:36:16,093
'cause what I want to do is
pull you clean out of this truck
1709
01:36:16,126 --> 01:36:17,528
and beat you
like there's no tomorrow.
1710
01:36:17,562 --> 01:36:18,763
I want to knock you
into next week.
1711
01:36:18,797 --> 01:36:22,032
I want the next face you see
to be the emergency room doctor.
1712
01:36:24,034 --> 01:36:27,204
But I don't think
I'm gonna do that.
1713
01:36:27,237 --> 01:36:29,506
You're a monster, Doc.
You deserve no pity shown to you.
1714
01:36:29,540 --> 01:36:32,443
But you know something else?
1715
01:36:32,476 --> 01:36:35,346
I'm a goddamn monster too and
I don't want to be one anymore.
1716
01:36:35,379 --> 01:36:37,582
I don't want to be like
every sucker I grew up with.
1717
01:36:41,218 --> 01:36:42,386
See that woman over there?
1718
01:36:45,255 --> 01:36:47,458
She's trying to teach me
what it means to be a man.
1719
01:36:47,491 --> 01:36:50,227
She says I should not beat you
till your mama won't know ya.
1720
01:36:51,629 --> 01:36:54,998
She says an eye for an eye
leaves everybody blind.
1721
01:36:55,032 --> 01:36:58,168
Well, I want to be
more like her.
1722
01:36:58,202 --> 01:37:01,138
I don't want to be the horror
in some little child's eyes.
1723
01:37:20,324 --> 01:37:22,594
Now, you drive off.
1724
01:37:22,627 --> 01:37:25,963
Don't you turn around,
don't you come back here with anybody
1725
01:37:25,996 --> 01:37:27,665
'cause if I ever see you again,
1726
01:37:29,466 --> 01:37:33,003
I'm gonna forgive myself
and I don't wanna do that.
1727
01:37:33,036 --> 01:37:36,540
And not just 'cause she wouldn't
like it but that would be enough.
1728
01:37:36,574 --> 01:37:38,208
Can we agree on that?
1729
01:37:58,162 --> 01:37:59,597
You missed your bus.
1730
01:38:01,331 --> 01:38:03,133
Ah, no, that wasn't my bus.
1731
01:38:03,668 --> 01:38:05,202
My nigger.
1732
01:38:05,637 --> 01:38:06,638
What?
1733
01:38:11,408 --> 01:38:13,678
My nigger! Yeah!
Look at you go!
1734
01:38:13,711 --> 01:38:16,213
I saw you. Oh, you were
gonna get him, yeah!
1735
01:38:16,246 --> 01:38:18,650
- Is that supposed to be a compliment?
- Mm-hmm. Little bit.
1736
01:38:20,551 --> 01:38:23,520
What are we, uh...
What are we supposed to do now?
1737
01:38:23,554 --> 01:38:25,322
We're gonna check on
McDew and the others
1738
01:38:25,355 --> 01:38:27,257
and see how they're doing
in county jail.
1739
01:38:27,291 --> 01:38:30,127
All right. Well, I guess
I better go too, then.
1740
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:34,498
Oh! So you're gonna give this
whole civil rights thing a try?
1741
01:38:34,531 --> 01:38:37,067
Oh, you know me,
I'll try anything three times.
1742
01:38:37,100 --> 01:38:39,737
- Easy white boy, let's go.
- All right. Come on.
1743
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:34,659
We think that
in order to facilitate change,
1744
01:39:34,692 --> 01:39:37,394
and in order
to create the type of society
1745
01:39:37,427 --> 01:39:40,330
that we think
that we all basically want,
1746
01:39:40,364 --> 01:39:44,301
that we have to take this sort of
peaceful, non-violent direct action.
1747
01:39:44,334 --> 01:39:47,705
How long will this group remain
outside this locked door, Mr. Zellner?
1748
01:39:47,739 --> 01:39:52,376
We'll stand here until we're able
to reach some sort of agreement
1749
01:39:52,409 --> 01:39:54,311
to open the restaurant.
1750
01:39:54,344 --> 01:39:57,214
Attempt to stand here
as long as we're able.
1751
01:39:57,247 --> 01:39:59,584
Do you feel that
your position is reasonable?
1752
01:39:59,617 --> 01:40:03,287
I think so. And I think that
it's the only way to do it.
1753
01:40:22,774 --> 01:40:24,842
My philosophy is very simple.
1754
01:40:24,876 --> 01:40:27,544
When you see something
that is not right,
1755
01:40:27,579 --> 01:40:30,113
not fair, not just,
1756
01:40:30,147 --> 01:40:33,317
you have a moral obligation to
say something, to do something,
1757
01:40:33,350 --> 01:40:35,853
stand up, speak up, speak out.
1758
01:42:47,864 --> 01:42:52,864
