00:00:33,725 --> 00:00:37,158
[man] I think one of the most
emotional moments of my life
3
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,195
was the night that
I was initiated into the Klan.
4
00:00:40,197 --> 00:00:42,765
I was led into the Klavern
hall, which was dark.
5
00:00:42,767 --> 00:00:45,033
The only light that I could
see was a fiery cross.
6
00:00:45,035 --> 00:00:47,038
And that...
put me through the ceremony.
7
00:00:47,539 --> 00:00:49,205
Purified me with water.
8
00:00:49,207 --> 00:00:50,941
Laid his hand
on my shoulder, says,
9
00:00:50,943 --> 00:00:52,575
"You're part of
the Invisible Empire,
10
00:00:52,577 --> 00:00:54,679
United Klans of America."
11
00:00:55,046 --> 00:00:58,180
And there was a tremendous
applause throughout the auditorium.
12
00:00:58,182 --> 00:01:00,884
And I came up off the floor
really in tears.
13
00:01:00,886 --> 00:01:03,352
Because that's what I'd been
looking for all my life.
14
00:01:03,354 --> 00:01:06,990
An opportunity to be heard,
an opportunity to be something.
15
00:01:06,992 --> 00:01:09,359
- [woman] I first told him, "Hell no!"
- [audience laughs]
16
00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:12,695
I would never, ever.
But kill him, that's all I want.
17
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:14,432
That was on my heart
to kill him.
18
00:01:15,065 --> 00:01:17,633
This is the kind of reputation
that I have in Durham.
19
00:01:17,635 --> 00:01:20,069
I'm not bragging about it,
but it is the truth.
20
00:01:20,071 --> 00:01:23,207
You can call Durham,
and they will tell you.
21
00:01:23,675 --> 00:01:28,144
Uh, no, I will not take no for an answer.
I have to have the word "yes."
22
00:01:28,146 --> 00:01:31,748
Because all of our blood,
when it comes out, is the same color.
23
00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:35,052
I haven't seen any blood different
yet than the color of mine.
24
00:01:35,054 --> 00:01:38,388
And I'm sayin' whatever you believe in...
I keep sayin' it...
25
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:41,427
- stand on it, baby, stand on it.
- [audience applauding]
26
00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:53,873
[crowd clamoring]
27
00:01:58,243 --> 00:02:00,411
[clamoring continues]
28
00:02:05,216 --> 00:02:08,217
[chanting] Equal housing now!
Equal housing now!
29
00:02:08,219 --> 00:02:10,087
Equal housing now!
30
00:02:10,089 --> 00:02:12,791
[woman] They call this Magic
City, Mr. Atkins.
31
00:02:13,559 --> 00:02:15,327
Ain't no magic here.
32
00:02:16,228 --> 00:02:20,263
Abe Greenfeld ain't nothin'
but a vile slumlord.
33
00:02:20,265 --> 00:02:21,732
You know it, and I know it.
34
00:02:21,734 --> 00:02:24,234
And the black people
of East Durham
35
00:02:24,236 --> 00:02:26,505
have the same rights
as anybody else.
36
00:02:27,539 --> 00:02:30,140
This girl, Mr. Atkins,
37
00:02:30,142 --> 00:02:35,414
this young lady is a single
mother of three children.
38
00:02:36,116 --> 00:02:39,986
And she wake up this morning
to an eviction notice.
39
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:44,589
- But there's no hot water. What, baby, for two weeks?
- That's right, Miss A.
40
00:02:44,591 --> 00:02:47,625
- Two weeks, and you say, what? No toilet?
- No toilet.
41
00:02:47,627 --> 00:02:51,031
No toilet. And that ain't
no way for no human to live.
42
00:02:57,603 --> 00:02:59,202
[stifled laugh]
43
00:02:59,204 --> 00:03:02,608
Mr. Atkins,
we done writin' letters here.
44
00:03:03,109 --> 00:03:05,177
We want to be heard before
tomorrow night's ruling.
45
00:03:05,645 --> 00:03:08,613
Miss Atwater,
you know our agenda is tight,
46
00:03:08,615 --> 00:03:12,684
and we simply cannot allot time
to everybody that wants to speak.
47
00:03:12,686 --> 00:03:16,087
- [telephone rings]
- Now thank you. Show yourselves out.
48
00:03:16,089 --> 00:03:19,657
Mr. Tucker, to what
do I owe this pleasure?
49
00:03:19,659 --> 00:03:21,828
- Sit down.
- [Atkins laughs]
50
00:03:22,328 --> 00:03:25,432
And a mighty fine afternoon
to you, too.
51
00:03:26,033 --> 00:03:29,200
Now you listen to me, Councilman!
And you too, Mr. Tucker!
52
00:03:29,202 --> 00:03:32,503
We ain't goin' nowhere until
we get down to the brass tacks.
53
00:03:32,505 --> 00:03:34,574
- You understand me?
- Everything all right here, Bill?
54
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:40,545
Mr. Oldham, now we have been
sitting here for over half an hour.
55
00:03:40,547 --> 00:03:42,749
- The councilman ain't done nothin' but...
- Ann.
56
00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:47,087
Ann. We're gonna give you your
chance to speak tomorrow night.
57
00:03:49,222 --> 00:03:50,356
Are we good now?
58
00:03:52,225 --> 00:03:53,860
[chuckles] Not yet.
59
00:03:55,996 --> 00:03:57,064
Come on.
60
00:04:04,805 --> 00:04:06,874
[insects buzzing]
61
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:12,010
[man] Samuel Grace. Ayes?
62
00:04:12,012 --> 00:04:14,148
- [all] Aye.
- Nays?
63
00:04:15,516 --> 00:04:19,318
Okay, then. Fred Eggert,
Gene Waddle, and Samuel Grace
64
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,520
are tentatively approved
as new citizens
65
00:04:21,522 --> 00:04:23,655
of North Carolina Unit Nine
of the Invisible Empire,
66
00:04:23,657 --> 00:04:25,190
United Klans of America.
67
00:04:25,192 --> 00:04:27,725
Kligraph is directed
to certify the petitions
68
00:04:27,727 --> 00:04:30,361
and prepare the oaths
for ceremony.
69
00:04:30,363 --> 00:04:31,765
Roy, next week should be fine.
70
00:04:33,033 --> 00:04:35,834
Final item.
Combat and firearms training
71
00:04:35,836 --> 00:04:37,805
resumes this Saturday
from noon to 4:00
72
00:04:38,471 --> 00:04:41,776
under the supervision of
second officer Floyd Kelly.
73
00:04:42,442 --> 00:04:45,944
And I'll remind the Youth Corps members
that this training is mandatory.
74
00:04:45,946 --> 00:04:48,447
Y'all hear me?
I'm talkin' to you.
75
00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:50,651
- Yeah.
- [men chuckling]
76
00:04:51,418 --> 00:04:52,620
Let's bow our heads.
77
00:04:56,091 --> 00:04:58,891
Heavenly Father, give us strong
minds, great hearts,
78
00:04:58,893 --> 00:05:00,828
true faith, and ready hands.
79
00:05:01,263 --> 00:05:03,897
Keep us unfettered
from the world
80
00:05:03,899 --> 00:05:05,330
that we might fight
the good fight
81
00:05:05,332 --> 00:05:07,399
and be worthy
to claim the prize.
82
00:05:07,401 --> 00:05:11,872
May we as brethren and Klansmen
be steadfast and unremovable.
83
00:05:12,305 --> 00:05:14,039
As we go hence
from this Klavern
84
00:05:14,041 --> 00:05:16,376
into the struggle
of the alien world,
85
00:05:17,011 --> 00:05:21,782
let us not forget the crowning
glory of a Klansman is to serve.
86
00:05:22,416 --> 00:05:24,750
Non silba, sed anthar.
87
00:05:24,752 --> 00:05:27,621
[all]
Not for self, but for others!
88
00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:29,888
- Get him ready.
- Mm-hmm.
89
00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:31,857
- You can say that again.
- He was born ready.
90
00:05:31,859 --> 00:05:32,894
Ready or not.
91
00:05:33,962 --> 00:05:35,030
Mr. Ellis?
92
00:05:35,529 --> 00:05:37,396
Oh, hey.
93
00:05:37,398 --> 00:05:39,933
This is, uh, this is the new
boy I was telling you about.
94
00:05:39,935 --> 00:05:42,068
Oh, sure. Sure, sure.
95
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:43,870
Sure, Ben.
Come on in the office.
96
00:05:43,872 --> 00:05:45,207
I'll see you fellas.
97
00:05:47,843 --> 00:05:49,110
Have a seat.
98
00:05:53,982 --> 00:05:55,515
What's your name, son?
99
00:05:55,517 --> 00:05:57,320
[clears throat]
Leonard, sir.
100
00:05:59,222 --> 00:06:00,788
Don't be nervous, Leonard.
101
00:06:01,755 --> 00:06:04,259
Ben here tells me you'd like to
be a part of the Youth Corps.
102
00:06:05,126 --> 00:06:06,261
Yes. Yes, sir.
103
00:06:07,829 --> 00:06:09,965
Why do you want to be in
the Youth Corps, Leonard?
104
00:06:10,665 --> 00:06:12,334
[clears throat]
To help...
105
00:06:12,834 --> 00:06:15,735
To help protect
the white race of America
106
00:06:15,737 --> 00:06:19,875
from the communist niggers
and Jews who threaten us, sir.
107
00:06:20,675 --> 00:06:22,345
- That's a good boy.
- [desk drawer opens]
108
00:06:23,411 --> 00:06:25,812
- But that's not all.
- [drawer slides shut]
109
00:06:25,814 --> 00:06:28,349
It's our rights,
our freedoms,
110
00:06:28,351 --> 00:06:30,385
our way of life
that need protecting.
111
00:06:31,153 --> 00:06:33,453
We're an endangered species,
Leonard.
112
00:06:33,455 --> 00:06:34,456
You understand?
113
00:06:35,091 --> 00:06:36,092
I do.
114
00:06:38,094 --> 00:06:39,262
Let me show you something.
115
00:06:39,829 --> 00:06:41,030
You see that?
116
00:06:42,064 --> 00:06:44,298
One day, this will be
your most prized possession.
117
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:46,702
It will give you everything
you need in your life.
118
00:06:47,169 --> 00:06:51,339
Brotherhood, standing in the
community, and a sense of pride
119
00:06:51,907 --> 00:06:54,209
that you're part of something
bigger than yourself.
120
00:06:55,210 --> 00:06:59,382
But most importantly,
it will be a reminder every day
121
00:07:00,048 --> 00:07:02,717
that you will no longer be
an outsider.
122
00:07:06,655 --> 00:07:07,689
[box shuts]
123
00:07:08,324 --> 00:07:10,226
Welcome to the Youth Corps,
Leonard.
124
00:07:11,327 --> 00:07:12,560
[knocking]
125
00:07:13,362 --> 00:07:14,964
We gonna
take care of that thing?
126
00:07:15,264 --> 00:07:16,365
Yeah.
127
00:07:16,899 --> 00:07:19,302
Ben, bring the car around,
out back.
128
00:07:31,081 --> 00:07:32,648
[engine off]
129
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:48,463
Now what?
130
00:07:53,936 --> 00:07:55,004
We wait.
131
00:07:57,106 --> 00:07:58,641
[man chuckling]
132
00:08:02,645 --> 00:08:04,947
- [radio: man singing ballad]
- [humming along]
133
00:08:20,964 --> 00:08:23,733
[song continues on radio,
muffled]
134
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:32,541
[engine off]
135
00:08:35,278 --> 00:08:36,512
[car door opens]
136
00:08:39,582 --> 00:08:41,218
[dog howls]
137
00:08:47,357 --> 00:08:49,192
- She got a nigger boyfriend.
- [lighter clicks]
138
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,862
The neighbors have
been complaining.
139
00:08:57,468 --> 00:08:58,503
Stay here.
140
00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:02,839
[song continues]
141
00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:25,695
Wait for the light, Wiley.
142
00:09:35,872 --> 00:09:36,907
[screams]
143
00:10:13,677 --> 00:10:15,679
[chorus vocalizing,
fading out]
144
00:10:17,915 --> 00:10:21,319
- [telephones ringing]
- [typewriters clacking]
145
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:23,819
[sighs]
146
00:10:23,821 --> 00:10:26,457
Hey. Thank you. Mm-hmm.
147
00:10:26,991 --> 00:10:28,259
Miss Dupree.
148
00:10:29,428 --> 00:10:33,197
Miss Dupree... Yes, I know,
Miss Dupree, but...
149
00:10:34,765 --> 00:10:35,867
Hold on, Miss Dupree.
150
00:10:36,568 --> 00:10:38,568
Miss Dupree says
she can't make it. Her kids...
151
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:39,837
Oh, no. Come here.
152
00:10:40,472 --> 00:10:43,706
Cissy, you better get your ass
down to City Hall tonight.
153
00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:45,477
No, no,
I don't want to hear that.
154
00:10:45,710 --> 00:10:48,477
I have been a single mother
ever since I was 16,
155
00:10:48,479 --> 00:10:50,513
and that's a whole hell
of a lot longer than you.
156
00:10:50,515 --> 00:10:53,215
- [chuckles]
- Well, child, it's supposed to be hard.
157
00:10:53,217 --> 00:10:55,317
Are you gonna be there
later tonight or what?
158
00:10:55,319 --> 00:10:58,588
I better see your face
lookin' black and angry.
159
00:10:58,590 --> 00:10:59,755
Mm-hmm.
160
00:10:59,757 --> 00:11:00,992
Who's next?
161
00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:08,634
[bell dings]
162
00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:18,377
Hey, Jeb, I'll take this one.
163
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:20,379
[Jeb] Sure, Mr. Ellis.
164
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:23,282
- Finish up that tire for me, will you?
- All right.
165
00:11:35,726 --> 00:11:36,827
Can you
fill the place tonight?
166
00:11:37,529 --> 00:11:39,663
You know I can, Carvie.
What's up?
167
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:41,533
We're ruling
on Greenfeld tonight.
168
00:11:41,966 --> 00:11:44,534
Ann Atwater and all her
Operation Breakthrough niggers
169
00:11:44,536 --> 00:11:46,937
are gonna make a scene.
I just need numbers.
170
00:11:46,939 --> 00:11:49,875
Jesus. Greenfeld.
You gonna help that scum?
171
00:11:50,175 --> 00:11:52,244
[Carvie chuckles]
You know, C.P....
172
00:11:53,011 --> 00:11:55,512
Reelection here.
He got deep pockets.
173
00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,684
I need to
at least appear supportive.
174
00:11:59,718 --> 00:12:01,920
And you need to keep your
friends on the city council.
175
00:12:02,387 --> 00:12:06,890
- [car door opens, closes]
- I know, Carvie. We'll be there.
176
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:10,028
[soul plays; hands clapping]
177
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,738
[song continues]
178
00:12:41,694 --> 00:12:43,028
[song stops]
179
00:12:47,667 --> 00:12:50,270
[C.P.] Oh, you late. Yeah.
180
00:12:51,738 --> 00:12:53,904
I guess that's
what they call Africa time.
181
00:12:53,906 --> 00:12:55,373
[men laugh]
182
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,909
[female clerk]
First item on the docket.
183
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:59,711
In the matter of the
Edgemont community housing,
184
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:02,413
the council will first hear
from Mr. Paulsen,
185
00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:04,616
representing Mr. Greenfeld.
186
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:06,252
[spectators groaning,
murmuring]
187
00:13:08,489 --> 00:13:09,490
Good evening.
188
00:13:10,424 --> 00:13:13,591
As you know,
Mr. Greenfeld prides himself
189
00:13:13,593 --> 00:13:16,960
on providing comfortable
housing at affordable rent
190
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,430
to a great many people
in Durham.
191
00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:21,065
- [murmuring]
- [gavel raps]
192
00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:23,000
The council will hear
Mr. Paulsen.
193
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:25,970
As with any dwelling,
from time to time,
194
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:29,974
there undoubtedly will be some...
wear and tear.
195
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:34,111
- [laughing, scoffing]
- Mr. Greenfeld fully intends to address any of these issues
196
00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:35,516
that these folks might have.
197
00:13:36,215 --> 00:13:39,351
However, with
the recent inclement weather,
198
00:13:39,353 --> 00:13:43,255
Mr. Greenfeld has had insufficient
time to get to everyone.
199
00:13:43,257 --> 00:13:44,824
That's a lie.
200
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:47,092
- [gavel raps]
- We ask that the council grant us
201
00:13:47,094 --> 00:13:50,631
the 90-day extension
for these minor repairs.
202
00:13:51,332 --> 00:13:52,333
Thank you.
203
00:13:52,966 --> 00:13:54,034
Miss Atwater?
204
00:14:11,819 --> 00:14:16,122
Uncomfortable housing
and unaffordable rent
205
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:21,259
are about the only two things
Abe Greenfeld has ever given us.
206
00:14:21,261 --> 00:14:23,028
[exclaiming, applauding]
207
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:25,897
Now,
I have here with me
208
00:14:25,899 --> 00:14:31,305
79 written complaints from
the residents of Edgemont.
209
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,973
Each and every last one of
them is a code violation.
210
00:14:34,975 --> 00:14:37,945
- [exclaiming, applauding]
- [gavel raps]
211
00:14:38,513 --> 00:14:40,813
I brought 'em here with me
'cause, obviously,
212
00:14:40,815 --> 00:14:43,385
you ain't get 'em the first couple
times when they were sent here.
213
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:46,688
[exclaiming, applauding]
214
00:14:47,554 --> 00:14:49,087
- [gavel raps]
- Order!
215
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:51,990
Now we are fed up
with this man
216
00:14:51,992 --> 00:14:55,562
and his eviction notices
and his rent hikes.
217
00:14:56,196 --> 00:15:00,200
He has absolutely no care for
his tenants' living conditions.
218
00:15:00,467 --> 00:15:04,102
We humans. Humans shouldn't
have to live like this.
219
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:06,371
[clamoring]
220
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:08,676
[gavel rapping]
221
00:15:09,042 --> 00:15:11,477
Thank you for your comments,
Miss Atwater.
222
00:15:11,479 --> 00:15:13,912
And I will personally
223
00:15:13,914 --> 00:15:16,148
pass those complaints
on to the housing commission
224
00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:18,720
for future review.
225
00:15:19,354 --> 00:15:22,688
At this time,
the council will grant
226
00:15:22,690 --> 00:15:24,726
the requested
90-day extension.
227
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,396
Thank you all. This council will
now stand in recess till next week.
228
00:15:31,533 --> 00:15:32,600
Bye.
229
00:15:36,370 --> 00:15:37,806
[woman] Put down that
paper, Claiborne.
230
00:15:38,773 --> 00:15:41,308
- Put it down.
- All right. Okay, Mama.
231
00:15:43,143 --> 00:15:44,679
- Daddy.
- Huh?
232
00:15:45,078 --> 00:15:46,980
Hey, it's time
to visit with your children.
233
00:15:47,582 --> 00:15:50,452
- Claiborne!
- I'm visiting. I-I...
234
00:15:51,152 --> 00:15:52,320
I'm visiting.
235
00:15:54,289 --> 00:15:55,824
How's your marks, Tim?
236
00:15:57,258 --> 00:15:58,760
[mother]
Tim, answer your father.
237
00:16:00,261 --> 00:16:01,963
I'm gettin' an "F" in math.
238
00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:03,665
- That's 'cause you're stupid.
- Hey!
239
00:16:05,634 --> 00:16:07,668
Well, I know it ain't for
a lack of trying, son.
240
00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:09,937
Maybe your teacher can give you
a little extra time after school.
241
00:16:09,939 --> 00:16:11,574
I don't think this teacher.
242
00:16:13,943 --> 00:16:15,276
Why not?
243
00:16:15,811 --> 00:16:17,947
She said I just ain't got
a head for numbers, Daddy.
244
00:16:18,380 --> 00:16:20,614
She said
that don't matter, though.
245
00:16:20,616 --> 00:16:23,117
Said I'll just work in the gas
station with you when I grow up.
246
00:16:28,623 --> 00:16:29,657
Yeah.
247
00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:32,962
Maybe this teacher
ain't so smart.
248
00:16:35,230 --> 00:16:38,130
I'm gonna stop in at Murdock this
morning before I go in. See your brother.
249
00:16:38,132 --> 00:16:40,333
- Give him a kiss for us, Daddy.
- You bet.
250
00:16:40,335 --> 00:16:41,871
I don't like that place.
251
00:16:42,136 --> 00:16:43,971
That's 'cause it's full of
weirdos and retards.
252
00:16:43,973 --> 00:16:45,306
Kenneth Wade!
253
00:16:45,808 --> 00:16:47,641
Don't be
calling your brother that.
254
00:16:47,643 --> 00:16:49,409
I wasn't talking about him.
255
00:16:49,411 --> 00:16:51,614
- He just ain't as lucky as you is all.
- That's right.
256
00:16:52,414 --> 00:16:53,415
I'm sorry.
257
00:16:53,816 --> 00:16:55,584
You be sorry
cleanin' that table.
258
00:16:56,318 --> 00:16:57,553
Yes, sir.
259
00:17:00,456 --> 00:17:02,258
I better go.
Give me some sugar, sugar.
260
00:17:02,558 --> 00:17:03,726
Bye, Daddy.
261
00:17:06,328 --> 00:17:08,497
[Ann] Let's go, girls.
Move your backsides.
262
00:17:12,233 --> 00:17:13,334
Marilynn.
263
00:17:14,068 --> 00:17:17,538
Marilynn!
Girl, you forgot your lunch.
264
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:21,042
You'd forget your head if it wasn't
attached to your shoulders. Go on now.
265
00:17:33,689 --> 00:17:36,325
[nurse] Hey, come on.
Help me out here.
266
00:17:40,062 --> 00:17:41,096
Come on.
267
00:17:48,237 --> 00:17:50,272
No. You gotta
help me out here.
268
00:17:51,206 --> 00:17:52,242
Hey, buddy.
269
00:17:53,243 --> 00:17:54,277
Hey, buddy.
270
00:17:55,045 --> 00:17:56,112
It's Daddy.
271
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,882
How you doing, pumpkin?
272
00:17:59,381 --> 00:18:00,614
You have breakfast yet?
273
00:18:00,616 --> 00:18:02,217
Pancakes this morning.
274
00:18:02,518 --> 00:18:04,955
Oh! Hey, buddy,
that's your favorite.
275
00:18:07,824 --> 00:18:08,925
Thank you.
276
00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:16,265
You got eggs
and maple syrup.
277
00:18:16,933 --> 00:18:19,970
[humming
"Oh My Darlin' Clementine"]
278
00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:25,375
Supposed to cut this up
ahead of time.
279
00:18:26,576 --> 00:18:28,411
He can't swallow all this.
280
00:18:30,547 --> 00:18:31,748
There you go.
281
00:18:32,382 --> 00:18:33,750
There you go.
282
00:18:37,721 --> 00:18:41,957
So you must multiply
the three on this side by two.
283
00:18:41,959 --> 00:18:45,259
But remember,
whatever you do to the bottom,
284
00:18:45,261 --> 00:18:46,963
you must do to the top,
right?
285
00:18:48,297 --> 00:18:49,964
Good.
So, I want you to go ahead,
286
00:18:49,966 --> 00:18:52,002
work out the equations
that I gave you.
287
00:18:53,903 --> 00:18:56,136
Let's do the next one,
let's see what you come up with.
288
00:18:56,138 --> 00:18:57,607
All right?
289
00:18:59,075 --> 00:19:01,609
[metallic creaking]
290
00:19:01,611 --> 00:19:03,847
[alarm bell ringing]
291
00:19:07,784 --> 00:19:09,586
[children screaming, shouting]
292
00:19:11,088 --> 00:19:12,255
[woman] Don't...
293
00:19:20,665 --> 00:19:22,466
[coughing]
294
00:19:28,806 --> 00:19:31,242
[sirens approaching]
295
00:19:31,776 --> 00:19:32,843
Over here. Come on.
296
00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:35,245
[rings]
297
00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:38,648
Ann Atwater.
298
00:19:41,418 --> 00:19:42,452
Hey, baby.
299
00:19:44,889 --> 00:19:46,090
- [Marilynn] Mama!
- Oh!
300
00:19:46,556 --> 00:19:48,057
Thank God. [exhales]
301
00:19:48,059 --> 00:19:50,159
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
302
00:19:50,161 --> 00:19:52,663
Okay, baby. You go wait in the car.
I'll be right there.
303
00:19:53,831 --> 00:19:56,865
- Is anybody hurt?
- Everyone's okay. Just lots of smoke.
304
00:19:56,867 --> 00:19:58,300
How did it start?
305
00:19:58,302 --> 00:19:59,702
[man]
Most likely electrical,
306
00:19:59,704 --> 00:20:01,203
the way they keep
this place up.
307
00:20:01,205 --> 00:20:03,539
Or it could've been set
on purpose.
308
00:20:03,541 --> 00:20:05,910
No. Klan ain't that stupid.
309
00:20:06,377 --> 00:20:07,445
[man] Why do you say that?
310
00:20:08,379 --> 00:20:10,414
When a black school burns,
then...
311
00:20:12,550 --> 00:20:13,584
Then what?
312
00:20:16,088 --> 00:20:18,690
Then the black kids
gotta find a new school.
313
00:20:20,726 --> 00:20:22,627
[laughter]
314
00:20:27,998 --> 00:20:30,399
Turns out,
he left the thing in neutral.
315
00:20:30,401 --> 00:20:32,568
It rolls
right back into the ravine.
316
00:20:32,570 --> 00:20:34,737
They didn't find that truck
for two weeks.
317
00:20:34,739 --> 00:20:38,240
Oh, are you talking about how
small your pecker is again, Wiley?
318
00:20:38,242 --> 00:20:40,844
- [laughter]
- That ain't funny, Doreen.
319
00:20:40,846 --> 00:20:43,949
Yeah, it ain't that kind of funny.
That's for sure.
320
00:20:49,788 --> 00:20:52,456
[song on jukebox, muffled]
321
00:21:02,801 --> 00:21:04,736
[laughing]
322
00:21:06,304 --> 00:21:08,141
[Floyd] You-You wait...
323
00:21:12,244 --> 00:21:13,879
The guy's got one arm.
324
00:21:14,846 --> 00:21:15,847
C.P.
325
00:21:16,882 --> 00:21:20,685
Garland... Garland Keith, my friend.
You're out late.
326
00:21:21,485 --> 00:21:24,220
- You wanna have a seat?
- No, thank you. Gentlemen.
327
00:21:24,222 --> 00:21:27,390
Well, something must be awfully
important for you to lower yourself
328
00:21:27,392 --> 00:21:29,592
- to come to a dump like this, Garland.
- Floyd, come on now.
329
00:21:29,594 --> 00:21:30,796
No, no. Mm-mmm.
330
00:21:31,463 --> 00:21:33,797
I like
the White Citizens' Council,
331
00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:37,234
with their parade floats and
their fancy country club meetings.
332
00:21:37,236 --> 00:21:41,071
I'm always honored to mop up after
'em, do the dirty work.
333
00:21:41,073 --> 00:21:43,306
You'll have to excuse Mr. Kelly.
It's been a long week.
334
00:21:43,308 --> 00:21:46,243
[Garland] Sorry to say it's
about to get a bit longer.
335
00:21:46,245 --> 00:21:49,612
There was a fire out at
East End Elementary today.
336
00:21:49,614 --> 00:21:51,349
So what? It's a black school.
337
00:21:52,517 --> 00:21:56,352
The parents have already filed
a petition to allow the students
338
00:21:56,354 --> 00:21:59,558
to finish out the year
at Durham Elementary School.
339
00:22:00,192 --> 00:22:03,028
There's an emergency
council meeting tomorrow.
340
00:22:05,530 --> 00:22:08,400
Well... Ann Atwater?
341
00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:10,468
I think so.
342
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:13,770
[C.P.] This ain't no small
landlord dispute, Garland.
343
00:22:13,772 --> 00:22:15,540
We gonna need everybody
on this one.
344
00:22:16,675 --> 00:22:18,476
Well, that's why
I'm here, C.P.
345
00:22:25,852 --> 00:22:27,153
Were you scared?
346
00:22:29,422 --> 00:22:30,456
A little.
347
00:22:31,524 --> 00:22:32,725
[sighs]
348
00:22:34,694 --> 00:22:36,395
It's gonna be
all right, okay?
349
00:22:37,797 --> 00:22:39,699
All right, baby?
You get some rest.
350
00:22:40,499 --> 00:22:42,202
Try to go to sleep, okay?
351
00:22:46,173 --> 00:22:47,372
You warm enough?
352
00:22:47,807 --> 00:22:49,173
[Marilynn] Mm-hmm.
353
00:22:49,175 --> 00:22:50,675
[kisses, chuckles]
354
00:22:52,011 --> 00:22:53,279
- Mama?
- Mm-hmm?
355
00:22:55,181 --> 00:22:56,916
Where are we gonna
go to school now?
356
00:22:58,251 --> 00:23:00,052
Don't you worry
about a thing, okay?
357
00:23:01,454 --> 00:23:04,190
Mama gonna find you
somewhere real nice to go.
358
00:23:06,326 --> 00:23:07,593
Say your prayers.
359
00:23:10,763 --> 00:23:12,730
[male reporter]
The fire was strictly limited
360
00:23:12,732 --> 00:23:15,499
to the building's facilities
and perhaps equipment.
361
00:23:15,501 --> 00:23:18,303
[man] I know your first appearance
here, you can't make an opinion...
362
00:23:18,305 --> 00:23:20,704
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to Tim's school.
363
00:23:20,706 --> 00:23:21,742
Mmm.
364
00:23:22,709 --> 00:23:24,843
Well, they gonna
put 'em somewhere.
365
00:23:24,845 --> 00:23:26,914
Ain't gonna be
in Durham Elementary.
366
00:23:27,413 --> 00:23:30,083
Tim having enough trouble
without more distractions.
367
00:23:32,052 --> 00:23:35,121
May have to look into one of them
private schools outside of town.
368
00:23:35,755 --> 00:23:39,723
- Oh, yeah. How we gonna pay for that?
- I'm workin' on it.
369
00:23:39,725 --> 00:23:42,995
It ain't gonna work until you start
sellin' gas to the other half of Durham.
370
00:23:48,335 --> 00:23:49,535
What's that
supposed to mean?
371
00:23:50,203 --> 00:23:51,470
You know what it means.
372
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:54,039
- That's not fair.
- Oh, fair.
373
00:23:54,041 --> 00:23:56,942
- Hey.
- Come on. It's not fair, it's a fact.
374
00:23:56,944 --> 00:23:58,543
It's not fair
'cause you know I can't.
375
00:23:58,545 --> 00:24:00,312
How's it gonna look
if the president of the Klan
376
00:24:00,314 --> 00:24:02,213
is puttin' gasoline
in a nigger's car?
377
00:24:02,215 --> 00:24:04,115
- How's it gonna look to my Klan folk?
- Oh. Oh, I see.
378
00:24:04,117 --> 00:24:07,585
I... I didn't know
that the Klan pays your bills.
379
00:24:07,587 --> 00:24:10,055
- I didn't think so.
- [groans] Here we go.
380
00:24:10,057 --> 00:24:12,091
You spend all that time
at Klavern hall
381
00:24:12,093 --> 00:24:15,627
jaw-jackin' about them niggers
and them commies and them Jews.
382
00:24:15,629 --> 00:24:17,898
- I don't sound like that.
- Yeah, you do.
383
00:24:20,969 --> 00:24:22,401
- Give me some...
- Eww!
384
00:24:22,403 --> 00:24:23,904
Claiborne Ellis,
you smell like beer.
385
00:24:44,524 --> 00:24:47,028
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to our school.
386
00:24:48,628 --> 00:24:52,131
This emergency council meeting
was called late last night
387
00:24:52,133 --> 00:24:54,599
after an apparent
electrical fire
388
00:24:54,601 --> 00:24:58,304
destroyed nearly half
of East End Elementary School.
389
00:24:58,306 --> 00:25:01,207
They've been in session
for nearly three hours now.
390
00:25:01,209 --> 00:25:03,878
[spectators chattering]
391
00:25:35,176 --> 00:25:38,345
This council is facing
some difficult decisions.
392
00:25:38,347 --> 00:25:43,183
Tonight, we've had to consider how
these decisions will affect the students
393
00:25:43,185 --> 00:25:45,521
of not one school, but two.
394
00:25:46,422 --> 00:25:48,921
We've heard testimony
from the marshal
395
00:25:48,923 --> 00:25:51,690
that eight classrooms
and three common areas,
396
00:25:51,692 --> 00:25:52,993
including the gymnasium,
397
00:25:52,995 --> 00:25:54,627
were unaffected by the fire.
398
00:25:54,629 --> 00:25:56,329
- Unaffected?
- Hey.
399
00:25:56,331 --> 00:25:58,531
- Have you been to the school?
- She's breakin' the rules.
400
00:25:58,533 --> 00:26:00,933
No, no. Ain't nobody talkin' to
you, C.P., so shut your mouth.
401
00:26:00,935 --> 00:26:03,335
- Miss Atwater, you've had your time.
- I've seen the school.
402
00:26:03,337 --> 00:26:05,671
And if that marshal says that
school is habitable for children...
403
00:26:05,673 --> 00:26:07,373
Miss Atwater,
you have had your time.
404
00:26:07,375 --> 00:26:09,842
...then he's just lyin'
or he just plain stupid!
405
00:26:09,844 --> 00:26:12,312
- [C.P.] Why don't you shut up?
- Don't make no sense.
406
00:26:12,314 --> 00:26:14,882
- [gavel raps]
- [clamoring]
407
00:26:19,354 --> 00:26:20,389
[man] Shut up!
408
00:26:20,955 --> 00:26:22,558
We will have quiet
in the chamber!
409
00:26:24,659 --> 00:26:26,927
- [clamoring quiets]
- Now what we talkin' about is important,
410
00:26:26,929 --> 00:26:29,731
and you're gonna damn well
listen to us, Mr. Steele.
411
00:26:30,299 --> 00:26:31,433
[Carvie] Miss Atwater.
412
00:26:32,134 --> 00:26:33,135
Miss Atwater.
413
00:26:33,969 --> 00:26:37,272
Kindly take your seat before
I have a deputy remove you.
414
00:26:52,121 --> 00:26:53,155
Now then...
415
00:26:54,456 --> 00:26:56,123
it is the opinion
of this council
416
00:26:56,125 --> 00:26:58,927
that there remain
two basic questions.
417
00:26:59,727 --> 00:27:05,165
One, is East End
a safe and habitable place
418
00:27:05,167 --> 00:27:07,703
for its students to finish
their school year?
419
00:27:08,471 --> 00:27:12,373
And two, would the students
of Durham Elementary
420
00:27:12,375 --> 00:27:17,447
be unfairly burdened by the sudden
and massive influx of new students?
421
00:27:20,416 --> 00:27:23,353
Our answer
to both of these questions...
422
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,987
is yes.
423
00:27:25,989 --> 00:27:27,857
[scattered applause]
424
00:27:30,226 --> 00:27:33,327
With the limited number of
classrooms that remain at East End,
425
00:27:33,329 --> 00:27:36,963
the students will be put
on a split-shift system.
426
00:27:36,965 --> 00:27:41,437
One from 7:00 a.m. to noon,
the other from noon to 5:00.
427
00:27:41,837 --> 00:27:43,504
[cameraman]
We're good. I got it.
428
00:27:43,506 --> 00:27:44,641
[man] Miss Atwater?
429
00:27:47,443 --> 00:27:48,942
Who the hell are you?
430
00:27:48,944 --> 00:27:51,214
Miss Atwater,
we're from the NAACP.
431
00:27:55,618 --> 00:27:58,019
[male reporter]
WDNC news time, 9:00 a.m.
432
00:27:58,021 --> 00:28:02,323
Recapping our top story, the NAACP's
legal action is causing quite a stir
433
00:28:02,325 --> 00:28:04,025
inside the county's
district court,
434
00:28:04,027 --> 00:28:06,127
one source saying
he would not want to be
435
00:28:06,129 --> 00:28:08,362
in Judge Les Hallford's shoes
this morning.
436
00:28:08,364 --> 00:28:10,733
- [woman] Good morning, Your Honor.
- [sighs]
437
00:28:13,136 --> 00:28:14,371
[Hallford exhales]
438
00:28:14,938 --> 00:28:17,972
- Is that it?
- Just arrived.
439
00:28:17,974 --> 00:28:21,643
Full and immediate integration
of all Durham public schools.
440
00:28:21,645 --> 00:28:23,213
[Hallford exhales]
441
00:28:24,414 --> 00:28:26,380
Get Wilbur Hobby in here.
442
00:28:26,382 --> 00:28:27,483
Yes, sir.
443
00:28:29,785 --> 00:28:31,852
You've passed things down
before.
444
00:28:31,854 --> 00:28:33,690
Ah, you know
I can't do that.
445
00:28:34,257 --> 00:28:38,361
These idiots just sent kids back
into a school that's still smokin'.
446
00:28:38,728 --> 00:28:41,929
I pass it down, it's the same
as ruling against.
447
00:28:41,931 --> 00:28:44,901
I know. I just wanted to
make sure you knew that.
448
00:28:45,969 --> 00:28:50,071
I asked you here for your
counsel, Wilbur, not a lecture.
449
00:28:50,073 --> 00:28:51,406
Sorry.
450
00:28:51,408 --> 00:28:52,476
[exhales]
451
00:28:54,245 --> 00:28:57,179
What if you held off,
delayed your ruling?
452
00:28:57,181 --> 00:29:00,983
[scoffs] Delaying the inevitable,
that's all that would be.
453
00:29:00,985 --> 00:29:05,787
No. You delay to allow the people of
Durham to reach their own decision.
454
00:29:05,789 --> 00:29:07,623
I'm not following, Wilbur.
455
00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:08,759
[exhales]
456
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,394
- I know a guy.
- [chuckles] You know a guy?
457
00:29:13,396 --> 00:29:15,162
Yes, I know a guy.
458
00:29:15,164 --> 00:29:18,600
He runs a department at
Shaw University down in Raleigh.
459
00:29:18,602 --> 00:29:21,902
He does this thing.
Uh, he holds charrettes.
460
00:29:21,904 --> 00:29:23,240
Cha-what?
461
00:29:23,906 --> 00:29:27,576
They're kind of, uh,
these official community summits
462
00:29:27,578 --> 00:29:29,745
with people from both sides
of the problem.
463
00:29:29,747 --> 00:29:33,284
They're called charrettes.
He's had some pretty good results.
464
00:29:36,453 --> 00:29:39,658
Wilbur, get this guy of yours
up here.
465
00:29:43,961 --> 00:29:45,796
[phone rings]
466
00:29:57,742 --> 00:30:00,110
Bill?
Wilbur Hobby's on the phone.
467
00:30:09,754 --> 00:30:10,988
Wilbur Hobby.
468
00:30:11,355 --> 00:30:13,488
Why does
this phone call worry me?
469
00:30:13,490 --> 00:30:15,357
[chuckles]
Well, what a coincidence.
470
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:17,159
I was hoping
it would worry you.
471
00:30:17,161 --> 00:30:18,262
[Bill laughs]
472
00:30:19,096 --> 00:30:20,596
How are you, Wilbur?
473
00:30:20,598 --> 00:30:22,598
Looks like you're havin'
some trouble up there.
474
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,638
Well, nothing a heavy dose
of Bill Riddick can't solve.
475
00:30:28,972 --> 00:30:30,007
Hello?
476
00:30:31,743 --> 00:30:34,777
Look, Bill, I, uh...
I heard York went well.
477
00:30:34,779 --> 00:30:37,680
York, Pennsylvania, isn't
Durham, North Carolina, Wilbur.
478
00:30:37,682 --> 00:30:41,353
Well, all the more reason
we need you.
479
00:30:42,454 --> 00:30:44,456
Look, you're the only one
that does this.
480
00:30:45,223 --> 00:30:47,089
Besides,
it'll get you outta the house.
481
00:30:47,091 --> 00:30:48,825
Delores even said
you're driving her crazy.
482
00:30:48,827 --> 00:30:50,493
[chuckles]
483
00:30:50,495 --> 00:30:52,330
We've been
drivin' each other crazy.
484
00:30:55,834 --> 00:30:57,166
All right, Wilbur.
485
00:30:57,168 --> 00:30:58,737
- All right.
- Great.
486
00:30:59,304 --> 00:31:02,173
- I'll see you in a few hours, Bill.
- A... A few hours?
487
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:04,409
- [dial tone]
- Hello?
488
00:31:07,212 --> 00:31:09,312
Now,
I've asked Bill Riddick here
489
00:31:09,314 --> 00:31:11,684
to conduct
a ten-day community charrette
490
00:31:12,417 --> 00:31:15,885
so that the citizens of Durham
can finally come to a resolution
491
00:31:15,887 --> 00:31:18,020
on the school integration
question.
492
00:31:18,022 --> 00:31:20,990
The city council
will abide this resolution
493
00:31:20,992 --> 00:31:23,025
and enact
the will of the people.
494
00:31:23,027 --> 00:31:25,163
That gutless fool.
495
00:31:25,664 --> 00:31:26,699
Abide?
496
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,566
Abide? It's not even defined.
497
00:31:29,568 --> 00:31:31,737
He's making us
define it.
498
00:31:32,671 --> 00:31:34,572
What are we gonna say
to the press?
499
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,708
Nothing.
500
00:31:37,242 --> 00:31:39,377
At least not till
we get a legal opinion.
501
00:31:40,245 --> 00:31:44,115
And in the meantime,
what in good Christ is a charrette?
502
00:31:44,449 --> 00:31:46,951
[man singing pop song]
503
00:31:49,254 --> 00:31:50,288
[continues on radio]
504
00:31:55,728 --> 00:31:58,264
- [continues, indistinct]
- [bell dings]
505
00:32:12,945 --> 00:32:15,414
Uh, yeah, we don't sell
gasoline to niggers here.
506
00:32:19,452 --> 00:32:22,555
I'm not looking for a fill-up.
Mr. Ellis?
507
00:32:25,123 --> 00:32:26,425
My name is Bill Riddick.
508
00:32:28,794 --> 00:32:29,795
Yeah?
509
00:32:30,629 --> 00:32:33,831
Uh...
Wilbur Hobby suggested I...
510
00:32:33,833 --> 00:32:37,269
- Wilbur Hobby sent you here?
- Yeah. He said I should come see you, yeah.
511
00:32:37,470 --> 00:32:40,139
He said you represent a great
many people in this town.
512
00:32:42,909 --> 00:32:44,610
He'd be right about that.
513
00:32:44,977 --> 00:32:48,746
Well, Mr. Ellis,
I've been asked to organize a charrette.
514
00:32:48,748 --> 00:32:50,314
I read the newspaper.
515
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:52,519
- Oh. So then you know...
- Hold on.
516
00:32:53,487 --> 00:32:58,323
Are you here to ask me to come to
your, uh, integration meetings?
517
00:32:58,325 --> 00:33:02,295
Well, for now, just lunch.
518
00:33:03,028 --> 00:33:05,296
- Lunch?
- Tomorrow.
519
00:33:05,298 --> 00:33:07,200
With, uh...
with me and with Ann Atwater.
520
00:33:09,135 --> 00:33:10,302
Come again?
521
00:33:11,170 --> 00:33:13,003
Well, I was hoping you'd come to
lunch with me and Ann Atwater.
522
00:33:13,005 --> 00:33:15,007
- Ann Atwater?
- Ann Atwater.
523
00:33:18,110 --> 00:33:19,677
[stifled laugh]
524
00:33:19,679 --> 00:33:22,346
What did Wilbur Hobby think
I'd say to that?
525
00:33:22,348 --> 00:33:24,582
Well, he thought
you would say no.
526
00:33:24,584 --> 00:33:27,317
- He'd be right about that, too.
- Well, see here, Mr. Ellis...
527
00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:31,356
- You're not from around here, Mr....
- Riddick.
528
00:33:31,358 --> 00:33:32,957
...so I'll help you out.
529
00:33:32,959 --> 00:33:35,193
Folks in this town,
and especially me,
530
00:33:35,195 --> 00:33:37,197
want niggers to stay
in their own schools.
531
00:33:39,132 --> 00:33:41,368
That's definitely one of the
options, Mr. Ellis.
532
00:33:43,370 --> 00:33:46,007
But right now,
I'm gonna leave you my card.
533
00:33:49,175 --> 00:33:50,711
The local number is
on the back.
534
00:33:51,244 --> 00:33:54,147
- You change your mind...
- Boy, you better get on outta here.
535
00:33:55,716 --> 00:33:57,150
Go on, git.
Like I told you.
536
00:34:03,055 --> 00:34:05,759
Mr. Ellis,
I hope you reconsider.
537
00:34:06,693 --> 00:34:10,664
This charrette is happening. So, uh,
if you truly represent your people...
538
00:34:11,831 --> 00:34:12,900
represent them.
539
00:34:16,136 --> 00:34:17,304
Have a good day.
540
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,934
[Carvie] We know this makes
you uncomfortable, C.P.
541
00:34:48,936 --> 00:34:51,269
But goddamn it, it's the best
thing that could have happened.
542
00:34:51,271 --> 00:34:54,205
"Uncomfortable" isn't exactly
the word I'd use for it, Carvie.
543
00:34:54,207 --> 00:34:56,207
C.P., what do you think
would happen
544
00:34:56,209 --> 00:34:58,577
if a lily-white liberal was
in there instead of you?
545
00:34:58,579 --> 00:34:59,947
Nothing good.
546
00:35:00,915 --> 00:35:03,449
A liberal and Ann Atwater
would pass integration
547
00:35:03,451 --> 00:35:05,751
faster than a hot knife
through butter.
548
00:35:05,753 --> 00:35:08,420
- That's what don't make no sense.
- [Steele] What don't?
549
00:35:08,422 --> 00:35:10,723
This Riddick nigger wants
school integration, right?
550
00:35:10,725 --> 00:35:13,026
So why me?
Why put that on himself?
551
00:35:13,028 --> 00:35:14,895
I shoulda been
the last person on his list.
552
00:35:17,465 --> 00:35:19,634
C.P., this judge...
553
00:35:20,334 --> 00:35:21,937
Our hands may be tied.
554
00:35:22,771 --> 00:35:25,237
But it won't matter if we
have a friend on the inside.
555
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,775
And especially if that friend
is C.P. Ellis.
556
00:35:28,777 --> 00:35:30,777
Oh, Charlie, I...
557
00:35:30,779 --> 00:35:33,948
He's about to hand you
the keys to school integration,
558
00:35:34,915 --> 00:35:36,651
and you're going to
lock the door.
559
00:35:39,620 --> 00:35:41,689
[softly singing hymn]
560
00:35:48,429 --> 00:35:51,066
- Hey! How you doin'? How your dad doin'?
- [man] Good.
561
00:35:53,935 --> 00:35:55,236
How late is he?
562
00:35:56,104 --> 00:35:57,204
Twenty minutes.
563
00:35:58,006 --> 00:36:01,643
C.P. comin' to have lunch
with two niggers. [scoffs]
564
00:36:02,010 --> 00:36:04,680
He'd just as soon shoot us
than do that.
565
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,313
Y'all northern folks
just don't get it.
566
00:36:07,315 --> 00:36:08,915
I'm from North Carolina,
Ann.
567
00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:10,817
Oh, yeah? Where about?
568
00:36:10,819 --> 00:36:13,455
- Hertford County.
- That still north of here.
569
00:36:17,459 --> 00:36:18,493
He's here.
570
00:36:34,409 --> 00:36:35,544
[Ann] Here he go.
571
00:36:51,660 --> 00:36:53,930
Would you look at
that crazy white man?
572
00:36:54,596 --> 00:36:56,631
Just pacing back and forth.
573
00:36:58,266 --> 00:37:00,169
I ain't waitin' for that cracker.
I'm hungry.
574
00:37:01,037 --> 00:37:03,573
Mr. Ellis?
Please, come sit down.
575
00:37:16,251 --> 00:37:17,884
Well, uh, okay.
576
00:37:17,886 --> 00:37:20,154
Um, thank you both
for coming.
577
00:37:20,156 --> 00:37:22,555
Hopefully,
this is a first step...
578
00:37:22,557 --> 00:37:25,893
Hey, I'm not gonna sit here one
minute longer than I have to, so...
579
00:37:25,895 --> 00:37:30,965
Well, go on and git, then. That way, me
and Bill can have a civilized conversation.
580
00:37:30,967 --> 00:37:33,266
- [scoffs]
- Mr. Ellis, um,
581
00:37:33,268 --> 00:37:36,806
I'm holding a steering committee
meeting here on Saturday.
582
00:37:37,206 --> 00:37:41,108
And I've invited people who represent
all types of citizens in this community.
583
00:37:41,110 --> 00:37:43,245
All types?
Only two types in this town.
584
00:37:43,247 --> 00:37:46,580
Well, whites, black,
liberals, conservatives.
585
00:37:46,582 --> 00:37:48,449
For a charrette
to be successful,
586
00:37:48,451 --> 00:37:51,253
we need to bring together a
large number of diverse people.
587
00:37:51,255 --> 00:37:53,621
[scoffs]
The only folk he gonna bring,
588
00:37:53,623 --> 00:37:55,389
they gonna be wearing
sheets and hoods.
589
00:37:55,391 --> 00:37:56,659
Ain't that right, C.P.?
590
00:37:58,393 --> 00:37:59,427
[stammers] Hold on.
591
00:38:00,462 --> 00:38:01,829
If you already have
a meeting set,
592
00:38:01,831 --> 00:38:03,298
what the hell am I doing
sitting here?
593
00:38:03,666 --> 00:38:05,968
Well, you're here,
both of you...
594
00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:10,773
because I need two co-chairs
to lead the charrette.
595
00:38:14,544 --> 00:38:16,612
[laughs]
596
00:38:19,982 --> 00:38:22,817
I'm gonna think about it,
you know,
597
00:38:22,819 --> 00:38:27,124
'cause I wouldn't want your type takin'
over this, uh... what'd you call it?
598
00:38:29,193 --> 00:38:31,195
Charade? [laughs]
599
00:38:34,932 --> 00:38:36,834
I don't know
what you're up to either.
600
00:38:38,268 --> 00:38:42,270
I don't like it.
You could use me for my help. That's fine.
601
00:38:42,272 --> 00:38:44,940
But I am not gonna work
with that cracker.
602
00:38:44,942 --> 00:38:46,676
So you need to look
somewhere else.
603
00:38:48,511 --> 00:38:49,779
This corn bread is good.
604
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:56,784
[woman] I would love it.
605
00:38:56,786 --> 00:38:59,553
[people chattering]
606
00:38:59,555 --> 00:39:01,289
Let me help you clear this.
607
00:39:01,291 --> 00:39:03,892
- It was delicious.
- Very nice of you. Thank you.
608
00:39:03,894 --> 00:39:05,694
You outdid yourself,
Mrs. Keith.
609
00:39:05,696 --> 00:39:07,729
Oh, well, thank you.
610
00:39:07,731 --> 00:39:10,565
Ten days is a long time
with them people, Garland.
611
00:39:10,567 --> 00:39:14,469
It's also a long time for them to
be making decisions on integration
612
00:39:14,471 --> 00:39:16,371
without us having a voice.
613
00:39:16,373 --> 00:39:18,976
That's not gonna make it
any easier to sell to my people.
614
00:39:19,877 --> 00:39:22,046
Well, you're their
president, C.P.
615
00:39:23,114 --> 00:39:24,581
You just make 'em understand.
616
00:39:26,351 --> 00:39:29,986
Hell, it says so right there
in your Klan Creed:
617
00:39:29,988 --> 00:39:35,058
"Failure to know your enemy gives
them aid and comfort" and all that.
618
00:39:36,727 --> 00:39:41,265
I mean, the truth is, C.P., we...
we don't know the enemy at all.
619
00:39:42,332 --> 00:39:43,400
Do we?
620
00:40:00,184 --> 00:40:02,450
You're yankin' on the trigger
too hard.
621
00:40:02,452 --> 00:40:05,621
Trick is to think of it as pressin'
the trigger, not pullin' on it.
622
00:40:05,623 --> 00:40:06,758
Ten-hut!
623
00:40:07,025 --> 00:40:08,524
Y'all heed this man, now.
624
00:40:08,526 --> 00:40:10,161
Mr. Kelly here's an expert.
625
00:40:10,628 --> 00:40:13,129
He even knows that word for when
you breathe out 'fore you shoot.
626
00:40:13,131 --> 00:40:14,332
What's that called again?
627
00:40:14,866 --> 00:40:17,099
- Respiratory pause.
- [men laugh]
628
00:40:17,101 --> 00:40:19,369
See? What'd I tell ya?
629
00:40:19,371 --> 00:40:22,405
- All right, one more, then next up.
- [man] All right.
630
00:40:22,407 --> 00:40:25,143
You didn't care too much for
that conversation last night.
631
00:40:25,943 --> 00:40:28,779
Well, when it's me and you,
it's fine.
632
00:40:29,746 --> 00:40:31,849
I ain't much for talking
in mixed company.
633
00:40:32,582 --> 00:40:34,317
Well, we do need
people there, Floyd.
634
00:40:34,319 --> 00:40:37,355
And Carvie asked me
personally, so...
635
00:40:38,122 --> 00:40:41,025
Yeah, I know it, C.P.
And I'll back you up on it.
636
00:40:41,759 --> 00:40:45,928
- But, uh... be careful.
- Careful of what?
637
00:40:45,930 --> 00:40:47,665
- If you wrestle with a pig...
- [gun cocks]
638
00:40:48,967 --> 00:40:50,235
...you gonna get muddy.
639
00:40:51,903 --> 00:40:54,804
[Bill] Meeting these benchmarks
successfully will depend entirely
640
00:40:54,806 --> 00:40:58,942
on the dedication and enthusiasm
of this steering committee.
641
00:40:58,944 --> 00:41:01,945
And, uh, we haven't got
much time to get organized,
642
00:41:01,947 --> 00:41:05,017
so priority one
will be to get the word out
643
00:41:05,516 --> 00:41:10,888
and to recruit as many citizens as
possible to come and participate.
644
00:41:12,190 --> 00:41:15,560
All right,
before we go any further,
645
00:41:15,927 --> 00:41:17,962
we need to elect
our two co-chairs.
646
00:41:20,098 --> 00:41:23,168
I nominate Ann Atwater...
647
00:41:25,837 --> 00:41:27,505
and C.P. Ellis.
648
00:41:32,978 --> 00:41:35,012
But he's a Klansman.
649
00:41:35,014 --> 00:41:37,082
And we're talking
about integration.
650
00:41:37,515 --> 00:41:41,551
Uh, Mr. Riddick, I already done
told you I won't work with that man.
651
00:41:41,553 --> 00:41:43,487
[scoffs]
That'd be just fine with me.
652
00:41:43,489 --> 00:41:45,956
Everybody know it would be
just fine with you, C.P.
653
00:41:45,958 --> 00:41:47,724
Just hold on a minute now,
Ann.
654
00:41:47,726 --> 00:41:50,029
I'd like to hear from C.P.
on this. Mr. Ellis.
655
00:41:52,265 --> 00:41:55,532
Well, I'm not in the habit of interviewing
for a job that I don't really want.
656
00:41:55,534 --> 00:41:57,767
But you're asking,
so I'll tell you.
657
00:41:57,769 --> 00:42:00,937
Everybody talkin' about nigras want
this, nigras need that.
658
00:42:00,939 --> 00:42:03,574
This whole thing started 'cause
of what nigras are demanding.
659
00:42:05,377 --> 00:42:09,046
What about white folks?
What about what we want?
660
00:42:09,048 --> 00:42:11,748
- You already got everything you want.
- No, we don't.
661
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:15,054
Now the niggers in this town are trying
to take away everything we got left.
662
00:42:15,754 --> 00:42:18,290
They don't want us to play
"Dixie" at our schools.
663
00:42:18,891 --> 00:42:20,393
That's our song.
664
00:42:21,193 --> 00:42:24,328
They're angry when we fly the
Confederate flag at ball games.
665
00:42:24,330 --> 00:42:28,533
And why should one of our boys
have to play ball under that flag?
666
00:42:28,535 --> 00:42:30,634
That flag is
our proud Southern history.
667
00:42:30,636 --> 00:42:33,204
It might be your proud
Southern history, C.P.,
668
00:42:33,206 --> 00:42:35,039
but it sure as hell
ain't ours.
669
00:42:35,041 --> 00:42:36,042
[C.P.] All right.
670
00:42:36,843 --> 00:42:38,910
Integrated schools have
"blacks only" assemblies,
671
00:42:38,912 --> 00:42:41,446
"blacks only"
Martin Luther King this, that.
672
00:42:41,448 --> 00:42:42,713
That ain't my history.
673
00:42:42,715 --> 00:42:44,182
You wanna talk about schools?
674
00:42:44,184 --> 00:42:46,285
Let's talk about schools,
Mr. Riddick.
675
00:42:47,286 --> 00:42:49,221
My sons don't have it easy
in school.
676
00:42:50,055 --> 00:42:52,189
Their teachers ain't even
teachin' them half the time.
677
00:42:52,191 --> 00:42:54,226
And you want to throw them
together with a bunch of nigras?
678
00:42:54,593 --> 00:42:56,695
It's only gonna get worse
for them.
679
00:42:57,763 --> 00:43:00,400
You ask why?
I'm here to protect my boys.
680
00:43:01,501 --> 00:43:03,869
So all the better
if she don't get in my way.
681
00:43:09,442 --> 00:43:11,010
I'll sit with you,
Brother Ellis.

[murmuring]
683
00:43:16,916 --> 00:43:20,452
Howard, have you lost
your everlasting mind,
684
00:43:20,454 --> 00:43:22,120
callin' that man
your brother?
685
00:43:22,122 --> 00:43:23,888
[Bill] You're offering
to co-chair, Howard?
686
00:43:23,890 --> 00:43:25,524
Uh, I am.
687
00:43:25,526 --> 00:43:27,692
And that's an honest man
right there, Ann.
688
00:43:27,694 --> 00:43:30,331
The only honest man
that's stood up today.
689
00:43:31,098 --> 00:43:34,067
He hates me. [chuckles]
And he told me why.
690
00:43:35,301 --> 00:43:39,272
But then he opened up
his heart about his sons.
691
00:43:39,671 --> 00:43:41,906
Why is he agreeing with me?
692
00:43:41,908 --> 00:43:44,108
- I don't know.
- [Howard] That means he's my brother.
693
00:43:44,110 --> 00:43:45,678
[whispers] Did that nigger
just call me brother?
694
00:43:46,479 --> 00:43:48,514
[laughs]
695
00:43:48,516 --> 00:43:49,782
Y'all hear that?
696
00:43:51,017 --> 00:43:53,621
I'll tell you what you are,
Howard.
697
00:43:54,421 --> 00:43:56,457
You one of them
"big niggers," ain't you?
698
00:43:57,291 --> 00:44:00,559
You done went up north
and got your college degree,
699
00:44:00,561 --> 00:44:04,031
your fancy cars,
and your fancy suits.
700
00:44:04,664 --> 00:44:06,932
Meanwhile, we down here on
the ground gettin' dirty.
701
00:44:06,934 --> 00:44:09,301
Now wait a minute, Ann.
702
00:44:09,303 --> 00:44:12,137
The Black Solidarity Committee has
been working within this community...
703
00:44:12,139 --> 00:44:14,508
Oh, shut up, Howard!
You're late to the fight!
704
00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:19,880
And you have no idea what
real black folk go through.
705
00:44:20,381 --> 00:44:23,850
You don't deserve a seat.
He don't deserve that chair, he don't.
706
00:44:24,385 --> 00:44:26,320
Callin' that man his brother.
707
00:44:29,155 --> 00:44:31,358
So are you saying you'll accept
now, Miss Atwater?
708
00:44:36,597 --> 00:44:38,566

- [indistinct]

00:45:17,905 --> 00:45:21,006
I'm going to continue to fight
for us white working men
712
00:45:21,008 --> 00:45:24,209
even if I have to sit in a room with
that awful Ann Atwater to do it.

C.P. Ellis don't scare me.

We gonna beat school
segregation once and for all.
716

Well, she's livin'
in her own fantasy world.

Good morning, Mr. Ellis.
722
00:46:50,465 --> 00:46:52,666
Co-chair office is
just around the corner.
723
00:46:52,668 --> 00:46:53,803
Thank you.
724
00:47:16,258 --> 00:47:19,860
All I'm saying is
our children are way behind.
725
00:47:19,862 --> 00:47:21,562
Almost a full year.
726
00:47:21,564 --> 00:47:23,698
[woman] Well,
just havin' white teachers
727
00:47:23,700 --> 00:47:25,602
isn't gonna help them
catch up.
728
00:47:26,969 --> 00:47:28,503
[Ann] White teachers?
729
00:47:28,505 --> 00:47:30,204
They already got
some white teachers.
730
00:47:30,206 --> 00:47:32,374
It ain't that.
It's about the books.
731
00:47:32,376 --> 00:47:35,041
Newer books don't account
for a whole year.
732
00:47:35,043 --> 00:47:37,313
Newer ain't got
nothing to do with it.
733
00:47:38,012 --> 00:47:40,781
Baby, what's your name?
In the red shirt. What's your name?
734
00:47:40,783 --> 00:47:42,318
- Miles.
- [Ann] Miles.
735
00:47:43,052 --> 00:47:45,219
What year did you
just finish, Miles?
736
00:47:45,221 --> 00:47:46,854
- My junior year.
- Mm-hmm.
737
00:47:46,856 --> 00:47:48,958
And what year
were your books for?
738
00:47:50,326 --> 00:47:52,192
The textbooks were
for the tenth-graders, ma'am.
739

[murmuring, applauding]
741
00:47:56,899 --> 00:47:58,533
Well, how's that gonna work?
742
00:47:58,535 --> 00:48:00,668
How's what gonna work, C.P.?
743
00:48:00,670 --> 00:48:03,573
You gonna put a bunch of black
kids who are a year behind...
744
00:48:04,441 --> 00:48:05,874
with white kids who aren't.
745
00:48:05,876 --> 00:48:07,742
How you gonna teach
that class?
746
00:48:07,744 --> 00:48:10,110
You can't.
It just ain't possible.
747
00:48:10,112 --> 00:48:12,980
So you go ahead
and get the right books,
748
00:48:12,982 --> 00:48:16,520
but you can't teach
that class, no way. No way.
749
00:48:17,053 --> 00:48:18,722
[murmuring]
750
00:48:45,582 --> 00:48:47,248
Okay. So tomorrow,
751
00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:49,350
we'll break into
our smaller groups
752
00:48:49,352 --> 00:48:51,586
and begin hammering out the
different resolution points.
753
00:48:51,588 --> 00:48:54,622
But we meet back here
each night for wrap-up.
754
00:48:54,624 --> 00:48:57,893
Also, you've noticed these, uh,
two tables up here on the stage.
755
00:48:57,895 --> 00:49:01,262
Along with Mr. Ellis
and Miss Atwater,
756
00:49:01,264 --> 00:49:04,602
ten more of you will be chosen to fill
these seats as part of our senate.
757
00:49:04,968 --> 00:49:07,369
That senate will vote
on the resolutions
758
00:49:07,371 --> 00:49:09,071
on the final night
of the charrette.
759
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:12,440
Okay.
Unless there's anything else,
760
00:49:12,442 --> 00:49:14,110
I think we could all use
some sleep.
761
00:49:14,945 --> 00:49:16,110
Yes, Reverend?
762
00:49:16,112 --> 00:49:17,812
Mr. Riddick,
763
00:49:17,814 --> 00:49:19,683
it's been
quite a tense day.
764
00:49:20,417 --> 00:49:26,120
It may be wise if we have some
positive note to end each session.
765
00:49:26,122 --> 00:49:28,089
Something to lift our spirits.
766
00:49:28,091 --> 00:49:30,191
I think that's a good idea,
Reverend.
767
00:49:30,193 --> 00:49:31,495
What did you have in mind?
768
00:49:31,863 --> 00:49:34,295
Well, I notice
we have a piano over here.
769
00:49:34,297 --> 00:49:37,566
What if we all sing gospel
music at the end of each night?
770
00:49:37,568 --> 00:49:39,303
- Okay.
- [man] Nigger music.
771
00:49:40,271 --> 00:49:42,571
- [crowd murmurs]
- What did you say?
772
00:49:42,573 --> 00:49:45,274
I believe he said
that's nigger music.
773
00:49:45,276 --> 00:49:48,244
Gospel music don't have nothing
to do with black or white.
774
00:49:48,246 --> 00:49:51,480
- It's about God.
- Praise God, but he... he's right.
775
00:49:51,482 --> 00:49:54,350
Gospel music is absolutely
for black folk.
776
00:49:54,352 --> 00:49:56,719
I'm a bit surprised that
the reverend would suggest
777
00:49:56,721 --> 00:49:57,853
something so one-sided.
778
00:49:57,855 --> 00:49:59,454
I'm a little disappointed.
779
00:49:59,456 --> 00:50:01,024
[Bill] Okay.
I can appreciate that, C.P.
780
00:50:01,391 --> 00:50:03,491
These people would like
gospel music.
781
00:50:03,493 --> 00:50:05,930
So, uh, how would you like
to represent your people?
782
00:50:08,331 --> 00:50:12,001
Well, I'd like to display our Klan
materials here at the charrette.
783
00:50:12,003 --> 00:50:14,705
[spectators murmuring]
784
00:50:16,007 --> 00:50:17,141
Klan materials?
785
00:50:17,808 --> 00:50:19,043
Mm-hmm.
786
00:50:21,445 --> 00:50:24,113
- It's not the same thing.
- I know that.
787
00:50:24,115 --> 00:50:26,415
We can't let him do it. That stuff's
full of hate. That's all it is.
788
00:50:26,417 --> 00:50:28,818
- He gave on the gospel.
- I don't give a damn what he gave on.
789
00:50:28,820 --> 00:50:30,887
Well, he gave, so we give.
790
00:50:30,889 --> 00:50:33,823
Bill Riddick, if that stuff shows up
here, it's gonna be a riot.
791
00:50:33,825 --> 00:50:36,392
And you can bet your ass I'm gonna
be the one leading the charge.
792
00:50:36,394 --> 00:50:38,797
Oh, you gonna get all
Roughhouse Annie on me now, huh?
793
00:50:39,297 --> 00:50:42,501
Yeah, I heard tell about you.
All talkin' and no listenin'.
794
00:50:43,167 --> 00:50:46,368
We're here trying to understand each
other for once and stop fighting.
795
00:50:46,370 --> 00:50:49,038
I'll stop fightin' when there
ain't nothing left to fight for.
796
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,442
Then you gonna be goin' uphill
the rest of your life, Ann.
797
00:50:52,476 --> 00:50:55,244
In the meantime,
I'm-a keep that man here talkin'
798
00:50:55,246 --> 00:50:56,982
as long as I possibly can.
799
00:50:59,450 --> 00:51:01,419
- [sighs]
- [Bill] C.P.
800
00:51:02,721 --> 00:51:03,755
C.P.
801
00:51:06,290 --> 00:51:08,858
This, um,
display you want to bring.
802
00:51:08,860 --> 00:51:10,827
We're willing to go along
with it.
803
00:51:10,829 --> 00:51:12,562
But there'll be folks not wild
about the sight of it.
804
00:51:12,564 --> 00:51:14,764
So, uh, you're gonna need
to provide some security,
805
00:51:14,766 --> 00:51:16,700
someone to watch over it.
806
00:51:16,702 --> 00:51:18,203
- I'm not gonna be responsible for it.
- [blows]
807
00:51:21,074 --> 00:51:22,541
This is my security.
808
00:51:23,375 --> 00:51:24,978
That gun
don't belong here.
809
00:51:25,677 --> 00:51:29,448
I like to have it close in case I
need it to do my talkin' for me.
810
00:51:30,783 --> 00:51:32,918
This here does the talkin'
for me.
811
00:51:33,150 --> 00:51:36,753
- I have a Bible.
- Oh, you do? Have you read it?
812
00:51:36,755 --> 00:51:38,122
Course I've read it.
813
00:51:38,590 --> 00:51:40,957
- Even go to church on Sundays.
- [Ann] Hmm.
814
00:51:40,959 --> 00:51:43,026
Well, then,
you ought to know, C.P.
815
00:51:43,028 --> 00:51:44,062
Know what?
816
00:51:44,963 --> 00:51:47,599
Same God made you, made me.
817
00:52:09,354 --> 00:52:10,788
That's everything,
Mr. Ellis.
818
00:52:10,790 --> 00:52:12,592
Looks good, Ben. Real good.
819
00:52:12,892 --> 00:52:14,494
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
820
00:52:25,604 --> 00:52:27,806
Divided according to race.
821
00:52:29,008 --> 00:52:31,243
Uh, six black, six white.
822
00:52:31,610 --> 00:52:34,444
The senate members will float in
and out of different working groups,
823
00:52:34,446 --> 00:52:36,281
observing and participating.
824
00:52:36,849 --> 00:52:38,783
On the final night
of the charrette,
825
00:52:38,785 --> 00:52:40,951
you will vote
to either adopt or reject
826
00:52:40,953 --> 00:52:42,620
the resolutions
presented to you.
827
00:52:42,622 --> 00:52:44,356
So, we're the final word?
828
00:52:44,624 --> 00:52:46,189
Final word, Howard.
829
00:52:46,191 --> 00:52:48,494
Two-thirds majority
to pass each resolution.
830
00:52:50,263 --> 00:52:51,698
Eight votes to pass?
831
00:52:52,832 --> 00:52:55,599
Then we should be able to handpick
the other four white members.
832
00:52:55,601 --> 00:52:57,768
Well, then, we might as well
go on home then.
833
00:52:57,770 --> 00:52:59,403
C.P.,
that's not practical.
834
00:52:59,405 --> 00:53:00,840
We need to be
as fair as possible.
835
00:53:01,141 --> 00:53:03,741
I'm gonna have to side
with my friend here.
836
00:53:03,743 --> 00:53:06,178
I mean,
we can surely all agree
837
00:53:06,180 --> 00:53:08,146
that every Negro
in the building
838
00:53:08,148 --> 00:53:10,014
is gonna vote yes
on school integration.
839
00:53:10,016 --> 00:53:12,149
That's six automatic votes,
no matter what.
840
00:53:12,151 --> 00:53:14,151
Same's not true
for every last white person.
841
00:53:14,153 --> 00:53:16,321
There's a bunch of liberals
sittin' out there right now.
842
00:53:18,291 --> 00:53:22,194
Look, there are four prominent
organizations represented
843
00:53:22,196 --> 00:53:23,994
in this room, right here.
844
00:53:23,996 --> 00:53:26,464
The Klan,
The White Citizens' Council,
845
00:53:26,466 --> 00:53:28,868
Black Solidarity Committee,
and Operation Breakthrough.
846
00:53:29,635 --> 00:53:30,938
You each get your votes.
847
00:53:31,370 --> 00:53:32,538
You want fair?
848
00:53:32,906 --> 00:53:34,808
We'll pick
eight regular members.
849
00:53:35,209 --> 00:53:38,611
Regular. No black power people, no Klan.
They're excluded.
850
00:53:39,747 --> 00:53:40,781
Agreed?
851
00:53:45,085 --> 00:53:46,918
- None of her people?
- [Bill] No.
852
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,422
And none of y'all.
853
00:54:04,704 --> 00:54:05,738
Hey!
854
00:54:06,372 --> 00:54:08,608
What do you think
you doing, huh?
855
00:54:10,878 --> 00:54:12,744
Leave that alone.
856
00:54:12,746 --> 00:54:15,281
Boys need to be reading this
instead of ripping it up.
857
00:54:16,083 --> 00:54:20,754
The Klan is givin' you
a window to look through.
858
00:54:23,190 --> 00:54:25,224
You need to read this stuff
and understand it.
859
00:54:25,226 --> 00:54:26,693
That way,
you understand them.
860
00:54:27,027 --> 00:54:30,562
Okay? You got the upper hand.
Got it?
861
00:54:30,564 --> 00:54:32,934
Get on outta here, Charles.
Give me that.
862
00:54:33,734 --> 00:54:35,937
Should tell your daddy.
You know better.
863
00:54:37,806 --> 00:54:39,040
[exhales]
864
00:54:44,145 --> 00:54:45,879
Kids don't make no sense...
865
00:55:17,111 --> 00:55:21,080
"...professional experts from in
the community and from outside
866
00:55:21,082 --> 00:55:23,983
will stand by
listening, learning."
867
00:55:23,985 --> 00:55:26,154
[continues reading,
indistinct]
868
00:55:50,945 --> 00:55:52,612
- Ann? Ann?
- What?
869
00:55:52,614 --> 00:55:54,649
- Where are you going?
- I'm going home.
870
00:55:55,450 --> 00:55:57,183
Look,
I know you're upset, Ann.
871
00:55:57,185 --> 00:55:58,718
You don't know nothing!
872
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:00,320
I told you
it was a damn fool idea
873
00:56:00,322 --> 00:56:02,289
to let that man
bring that stuff in here.
874
00:56:02,291 --> 00:56:04,059
Ain't no good
gonna come from it!
875
00:56:04,459 --> 00:56:06,728
And I'll tell you
something else, Bill Riddick.
876
00:56:07,329 --> 00:56:08,761
You an even bigger fool
877
00:56:08,763 --> 00:56:10,396
if you think you gonna make
any change
878
00:56:10,398 --> 00:56:11,865
with this here meeting.
879
00:56:11,867 --> 00:56:13,202
- Is that right?
- That's right.
880
00:56:13,769 --> 00:56:16,236
'Cause as long as
the C.P. Ellises of the world
881
00:56:16,238 --> 00:56:17,571
keep gettin' their way,
882
00:56:17,573 --> 00:56:19,072
ain't nothing gonna change.
883
00:56:19,074 --> 00:56:21,376
Yeah, you talk about
Roughhouse Annie?
884
00:56:22,343 --> 00:56:25,177
Keep Uncle Tommin'
that cracker
885
00:56:25,179 --> 00:56:27,349
and you gonna see
Roughhouse Annie.
886
00:56:28,416 --> 00:56:31,419
Go on back up north where you belong,
'cause you don't know nothing.
887
00:57:04,753 --> 00:57:05,955
Marion Wilson.
888
00:57:13,661 --> 00:57:15,798
Okay. The other bowl now.
889
00:57:18,834 --> 00:57:19,868
[Garland] Sam Watford.
890
00:57:21,570 --> 00:57:23,472
- Is that Scooter Watford's boy?
- [Horace] Yeah.
891
00:57:24,974 --> 00:57:26,575
You won't have
a problem there.
892
00:57:27,309 --> 00:57:28,911
- [C.P.] You sure?
- Pretty sure.
893
00:57:29,279 --> 00:57:32,045
I remember he kept losin' jobs
during them boycotts.
894
00:57:32,047 --> 00:57:33,416
Still pretty sore about it.
895
00:57:34,451 --> 00:57:36,752
I don't like that mustache,
tell you what.
896
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,055
All right. Earl Weeks.
897
00:57:39,389 --> 00:57:41,122
[laughs]
898
00:57:41,124 --> 00:57:42,491
He's... He's with us.
899
00:57:42,758 --> 00:57:44,027
[Garland] How do you know?
900
00:57:44,828 --> 00:57:46,963
He been a deacon at my church
since I was a kid.
901
00:57:47,464 --> 00:57:48,732
He don't like nobody.
902
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,468
- That's a good man.
- Two for two.
903
00:57:53,470 --> 00:57:57,104
Okay, we gonna have an issue
with this gal Maddy Mays.
904
00:57:57,106 --> 00:57:58,772
The blonde over by the window.
905
00:57:58,774 --> 00:58:00,140
[Garland]
Yeah, she's a nurse.
906
00:58:00,142 --> 00:58:01,643
[C.P.]
Yeah, over at Durham Clinic.
907
00:58:02,111 --> 00:58:04,680
Real "people person." I think
that's one to worry about.
908
00:58:06,416 --> 00:58:07,914
Last is Lee Trombley.
909
00:58:07,916 --> 00:58:10,318
[groans]
Trombley Hardware.
910
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:11,421
Off of Route Nine.
911
00:58:12,355 --> 00:58:14,222
- What do we know?
- [sighs]
912
00:58:14,224 --> 00:58:15,825
I don't know 'bout him, C.P.
913
00:58:16,793 --> 00:58:17,894
Might be a problem there.
914
00:58:18,828 --> 00:58:20,897
He took over
after his daddy passed.
915
00:58:21,798 --> 00:58:24,234
Family man, two kids, I think.
916
00:58:24,567 --> 00:58:25,835
[C.P.] And?
917
00:58:26,703 --> 00:58:28,936
[Horace] Everybody that
works for him is a nigger.
918
00:58:28,938 --> 00:58:29,973
Every one.
919
00:58:30,474 --> 00:58:32,510
And they all thick as thieves.
920
00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:36,778
[taps notebook]
921
00:58:36,780 --> 00:58:40,051
All right, I guess it's time we
get acquainted with Lee Trombley.
922
00:59:01,805 --> 00:59:02,906
Can I help you, sir?
923
00:59:03,973 --> 00:59:06,243
Uh... Lee around?
924
00:59:06,576 --> 00:59:09,244
No, sir. He's not here right now.
But I'm the manager.
925
00:59:09,246 --> 00:59:10,548
Something I can help you with?
926
00:59:13,184 --> 00:59:14,552
Uh, no. Um...
927
00:59:15,386 --> 00:59:16,987
I'll come back another time.
928
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,093
[door opens]
929
00:59:24,095 --> 00:59:26,730
- [thunder rumbles]
- [rain pattering]
930
00:59:28,467 --> 00:59:29,534
Okay.
931
00:59:30,034 --> 00:59:32,735
Any thoughts, uh, insights?
932
00:59:33,703 --> 00:59:35,406
You don't have to
raise your hand, Maddy.
933
00:59:35,705 --> 00:59:38,108
I think it's nice to see
people talking for once.
934
00:59:38,542 --> 00:59:40,411
That ain't talkin'.
It's yellin'.
935
00:59:40,777 --> 00:59:42,677
Well, okay. It's arguing.
936
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:45,981
But people are listening to one another.
They really are.
937
00:59:45,983 --> 00:59:49,750
[Sam] They're arguing.
I've been listening to it for days,
938
00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:52,788
and still no one's answered how
integration's gonna help my kids.
939
00:59:52,790 --> 00:59:55,958
- It sure can't hurt 'em.
- It sure as hell can.
940
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,961
- I'd like to know how.
- Well, for one,
941
00:59:58,963 --> 01:00:01,932
I don't want my daughter sitting
next to a Negro boy in class.
942
01:00:02,366 --> 01:00:04,099
I don't want her
eatin' next to one,
943
01:00:04,101 --> 01:00:06,269
and don't want her being
at a school dance with one.
944
01:00:06,271 --> 01:00:08,607
So, you care
about your daughter?
945
01:00:09,740 --> 01:00:11,640
And you don't want
to see her get hurt.
946
01:00:11,642 --> 01:00:13,309
What's your point?
947
01:00:13,311 --> 01:00:17,282
My point is that is
what we do as parents.
948
01:00:18,283 --> 01:00:22,184
When they're little, we try to
keep them from touching the stove
949
01:00:22,186 --> 01:00:23,387
so they don't burn.
950
01:00:24,321 --> 01:00:27,558
We teach them to take small
bites so they don't choke.
951
01:00:28,359 --> 01:00:30,993
We worry about
their first day at school,
952
01:00:30,995 --> 01:00:32,495
the first time
they drive a car,
953
01:00:32,497 --> 01:00:34,263
their very first job.
954
01:00:34,265 --> 01:00:39,067
See, we want them to avoid
the pain that we experienced.
955
01:00:39,069 --> 01:00:41,038
[chuckles]
All right. All right.
956
01:00:41,339 --> 01:00:43,939
We all gonna sit around,
hold hands, sing "Kumbaya"?
957
01:00:43,941 --> 01:00:46,842
- We see what you're doing, Howard.
- And what is that, C.P.?
958
01:00:46,844 --> 01:00:49,179
That there's no difference
between blacks and whites, right?
959
01:00:49,181 --> 01:00:51,814
'Cause we all worry
about our kids.
960
01:00:51,816 --> 01:00:53,650
We're all the same, right?
961
01:00:53,652 --> 01:00:58,555
Actually, no, C.P. We're not.
962
01:00:58,557 --> 01:01:00,425
See, I left some things out.
963
01:01:01,159 --> 01:01:03,693
I left out
that black folks have
964
01:01:03,695 --> 01:01:06,698
a whole different menu of pain
to worry about.
965
01:01:07,832 --> 01:01:10,669
Our kids get spit on
for no reason.
966
01:01:11,503 --> 01:01:16,374
Our kids have to move on the
sidewalk to let white folks pass,
967
01:01:17,008 --> 01:01:18,343
or they get beat.
968
01:01:19,411 --> 01:01:21,779
Our kids aren't allowed
to sit where they want,
969
01:01:22,214 --> 01:01:25,684
play where they want,
go to school where they want.
970
01:01:26,818 --> 01:01:31,187
See, this is the pain
they experience every day
971
01:01:31,189 --> 01:01:34,759
that we, we can't...
can't spare them from.
972
01:01:36,462 --> 01:01:39,164
And that is a...
973
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,901
It's a helpless feeling.
974
01:01:44,503 --> 01:01:47,540
A more helpless feeling
than you could ever know.
975
01:01:57,015 --> 01:01:59,349
- I fell right into that one.
- Yeah.
976
01:01:59,351 --> 01:02:01,953
- Shit. You see Trombley's face?
- Yeah.
977
01:02:02,688 --> 01:02:05,888
- Did you get anywhere with Trombley last night?
- He wasn't there.
978
01:02:05,890 --> 01:02:08,226
They were right, though.
He got a black manager.
979
01:02:08,893 --> 01:02:10,762
Well, where we gonna
get him, then?
980
01:02:11,196 --> 01:02:13,330
Right now.
We gonna crowd him at lunch.
981
01:02:13,332 --> 01:02:14,764
Mmm.
982
01:02:14,766 --> 01:02:16,736
[Bill] Okay.
Everybody listen up.
983
01:02:17,902 --> 01:02:19,771
We're going to be trying
something different today.
984
01:02:20,172 --> 01:02:23,142
There are name cards at
each seat in this lunchroom.
985
01:02:23,542 --> 01:02:26,210
This will be your seat
for the rest of the charrette.
986
01:02:26,212 --> 01:02:28,281
You may not move
your name card.
987
01:02:29,282 --> 01:02:31,782
And you guessed it,
the person sitting next to you
988
01:02:31,784 --> 01:02:33,484
will not be
the same color as you.
989
01:02:33,486 --> 01:02:35,219
- What?
- And...
990
01:02:35,221 --> 01:02:39,056
And no discussion of issues
during this hour.
991
01:02:39,058 --> 01:02:40,293
Talk about something else.
992
01:03:18,165 --> 01:03:20,767
[no audible dialogue]
993
01:03:28,642 --> 01:03:31,078
[Ann singing softly]
994
01:03:37,116 --> 01:03:38,485
[Ann clears throat]
995
01:04:06,714 --> 01:04:08,246
I just can't do it. Mm-mm.
996
01:04:08,248 --> 01:04:10,818
Mm-mm! Mm-mm-mm.
997
01:04:12,018 --> 01:04:14,087
These fish sticks is dry.
998
01:04:20,627 --> 01:04:22,095
Well... Hmm.
999
01:04:22,829 --> 01:04:24,765
If we can't change
anything else,
1000
01:04:25,165 --> 01:04:27,634
we can sure demand
better school lunches, huh?
1001
01:04:28,201 --> 01:04:30,103
We're not supposed to
talk about issues.
1002
01:04:32,072 --> 01:04:33,473
I guess you're right.
1003
01:04:40,213 --> 01:04:41,248
Howard...
1004
01:04:42,048 --> 01:04:44,050
Howard was wrong in there,
weren't he?
1005
01:04:44,752 --> 01:04:46,587
- Wrong?
- Mm-hmm.
1006
01:04:48,256 --> 01:04:52,924
Well, I mean, he weren't wrong
about what black kids go through.
1007
01:04:52,926 --> 01:04:53,960
But...
1008
01:04:55,430 --> 01:05:00,301
He was wrong about you not knowing
what helpless is, weren't he?
1009
01:05:03,772 --> 01:05:04,972
What does that mean?
1010
01:05:09,142 --> 01:05:11,478
You got a boy out at Murdock,
don't you, C.P.?
1011
01:05:11,913 --> 01:05:13,913
- I don't wanna talk about that.
- I'm just trying...
1012
01:05:13,915 --> 01:05:16,584
Ann, don't talk about my son.
1013
01:05:18,218 --> 01:05:20,455
- Don't ever talk about my son.
- Okay.
1014
01:05:28,162 --> 01:05:31,265
- [guitar plays]
- [man humming]
1015

[man singing country folk]
1016
01:05:47,583 --> 01:05:49,916
We're willing to go
to summer school,
1017
01:05:49,918 --> 01:05:52,151
even nights, just to catch
up with the white students.
1018
01:05:52,153 --> 01:05:55,290
Good Lord never intended for
blacks to have equal rights.
1019
01:06:11,339 --> 01:06:13,809
[song continues]
1020
01:07:05,594 --> 01:07:07,596
[song ends]
1021
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,768
- Daddy!
- What's wrong? What's wrong, sugar?
1022
01:07:13,770 --> 01:07:14,804
It's Larry.
1023
01:07:25,848 --> 01:07:28,649
- [boy screaming]
- What's goin' on?
1024
01:07:28,651 --> 01:07:31,218
- Who is this?
- [nurse] Alvin. He moved in Friday.
1025
01:07:31,220 --> 01:07:34,021
Hey, hey.
Shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh.
1026
01:07:34,023 --> 01:07:36,189
[screaming continues]
1027
01:07:36,191 --> 01:07:38,427
- Hey, pumpkin.
- [grunting]
1028
01:07:39,595 --> 01:07:41,428
- [C.P.] Go! It's okay.
- [nurse] It's okay.
1029
01:07:41,430 --> 01:07:43,798
[C.P.] No monster.
No monster, son. No monster.
1030
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,432
I got your book.
I'm gonna read...
1031
01:07:45,434 --> 01:07:47,100
Shh, shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh.
1032
01:07:47,102 --> 01:07:48,236
[girl] It's Vickie.
1033
01:07:48,538 --> 01:07:50,236
- Read to him.
- Okay.
1034
01:07:50,238 --> 01:07:52,673
- Come here, pumpkin.
- I'll be right back.
1035
01:07:52,675 --> 01:07:55,378
- Vickie's gonna read to you.
- It's your sister, Vickie.
1036
01:07:55,945 --> 01:07:57,145
Get him out.
1037
01:08:00,850 --> 01:08:03,718
- Hey, who's in charge here?
- Can I help you, Mr. Ellis?
1038
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,886
No. Is there someone else
I can talk to?
1039
01:08:05,888 --> 01:08:07,121
One moment.
1040
01:08:07,123 --> 01:08:08,157
Hey.
1041
01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:11,994
[bell dinging]
1042
01:08:11,996 --> 01:08:13,628
Hey.
1043
01:08:13,630 --> 01:08:14,930
- [nurse] I'll be right there.
- I need help.
1044
01:08:14,932 --> 01:08:16,564
- No, sir. No, sir.
- I need help.
1045
01:08:16,566 --> 01:08:18,232
- My son needs help.
- Step outside that door.
1046
01:08:18,234 --> 01:08:20,101
- I need to get my son out of that room.
- Yes, sir.
1047
01:08:20,103 --> 01:08:22,235
Step outside for a moment.
1048
01:08:22,237 --> 01:08:24,572
- Now calm it down.
- I need to get my son out of that room.
1049
01:08:24,574 --> 01:08:26,741
- Your son is gonna be just fine.
- He's scared.
1050
01:08:26,743 --> 01:08:28,244
He's not fine.
He needs to be moved.
1051
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,411
Right away.
Or that other one needs to be moved.
1052
01:08:30,413 --> 01:08:32,713
- My son's scared.
- Look. Look.
1053
01:08:32,715 --> 01:08:35,349
It's important that our patients
stay in familiar surroundings.
1054
01:08:35,351 --> 01:08:38,252
'Cause if they're moved
too often, they get agitated...
1055
01:08:38,254 --> 01:08:40,022
A private room then.
[stammers]
1056
01:08:40,024 --> 01:08:41,790
Give Larry a private room,
please.
1057
01:08:41,792 --> 01:08:43,357
We have regulations
here at Murdock.
1058
01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:45,626
I don't care
about your regulations.
1059
01:08:45,628 --> 01:08:48,864
- Now you move him, or I will. How's that?
- No, you will not.
1060
01:08:48,866 --> 01:08:52,868
Mr. Ellis!
Call security right now.
1061
01:08:52,870 --> 01:08:54,972
You calm yourself down.
1062
01:08:57,675 --> 01:08:59,206
[exhales]
1063
01:08:59,208 --> 01:09:00,210
God...
1064
01:09:01,011 --> 01:09:02,846
How much...
How much is it again?
1065
01:09:03,213 --> 01:09:07,315
A private room is $75 more
per week.
1066
01:09:07,317 --> 01:09:09,019
Now do you wanna pay for that?
1067
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:11,786
I got 16.
1068
01:09:11,788 --> 01:09:13,857
Mr. Ellis.
Listen to me.
1069
01:09:14,524 --> 01:09:17,627
Larry will get used to it,
all right?
1070
01:09:22,432 --> 01:09:25,834
You shoulda told me. No one told
me that boy would be in this room.
1071
01:09:25,836 --> 01:09:27,102
- It was...
- No one told me.
1072
01:09:27,104 --> 01:09:28,637
It was a last minute...
1073
01:09:28,639 --> 01:09:29,840
You shoulda told me.
[slaps counter]

[man speaking, indistinct]
1075
01:10:09,580 --> 01:10:11,513
[C.P.] You know,
I'm tryin' to tell you now.
1076
01:10:11,515 --> 01:10:14,050
His roommate was wailin'
and screamin' and...
1077
01:10:14,052 --> 01:10:15,686
But they wouldn't
let me move him.
1078
01:10:18,857 --> 01:10:20,290
I wanna take him home.
1079
01:10:22,026 --> 01:10:23,595
He's better off with us.
1080
01:10:26,097 --> 01:10:27,732
He don't belong there.
1081
01:10:28,099 --> 01:10:29,567
He ain't like them others.
1082
01:10:31,369 --> 01:10:33,538
Yes, Claiborne, he is.
1083
01:10:37,109 --> 01:10:39,844
I'm seeing him tomorrow.
I'm sure he's fine.
1084
01:10:41,279 --> 01:10:42,445
You okay?
1085
01:10:42,447 --> 01:10:43,948
Yeah, I'm just tired.
1086
01:10:46,151 --> 01:10:48,086
I'll see you at home.
I love you.
1087
01:10:56,227 --> 01:10:58,630

[woman on P.A., indistinct]
1093
01:13:25,412 --> 01:13:26,645
Can I help you?
1094
01:13:27,247 --> 01:13:29,249
You can't,
but Bernadette can.
1095
01:13:30,583 --> 01:13:32,252
- One moment.
- Thank you.
1096
01:13:38,091 --> 01:13:40,591
- Miss Atwater!
- [chuckles]
1097
01:13:40,593 --> 01:13:45,431
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
How have you been?
1098
01:13:45,433 --> 01:13:48,400
Oh, baby, I've been good.
How about yourself?
1099
01:13:48,402 --> 01:13:50,568
I'm fine. I'm just fine.
1100
01:13:50,570 --> 01:13:52,340
Well,
what can I help you with?
1101
01:13:54,442 --> 01:13:56,443
Where's that Larry Ellis boy?
1102
01:13:57,643 --> 01:14:00,814
[Alvin murmuring]
1103
01:14:07,487 --> 01:14:08,521
Bernadette.
1104
01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:12,058
- Yes, Miss Atwater?
- I'm gonna need a favor.
1105
01:14:13,493 --> 01:14:15,960
- But that's not fair.
- I know it's not fair, honey.
1106
01:14:15,962 --> 01:14:18,063
But I went back and looked.
Not even half of them are done yet.
1107
01:14:18,065 --> 01:14:19,697
But she never does
any of her charts.
1108
01:14:19,699 --> 01:14:21,766
She always expects us
to do them for her.
1109
01:14:21,768 --> 01:14:24,472
You and I have to go over all her
work, or it's gonna be on us.
1110
01:14:29,744 --> 01:14:32,046
[Alvin humming]
1111
01:14:33,781 --> 01:14:34,815
Hello?
1112
01:14:36,650 --> 01:14:37,685
Hello?
1113
01:14:38,085 --> 01:14:40,085
Where's Larry? Where's my son?
1114
01:14:40,087 --> 01:14:41,289
He's not in his room.
What happened?
1115
01:14:41,522 --> 01:14:43,392
Nothing happened, Miss Ellis.
1116
01:14:43,823 --> 01:14:45,158
He was moved.
1117
01:14:47,495 --> 01:14:49,896
[radio: woman singing ballad]
1118
01:14:52,565 --> 01:14:53,733
It's so nice.
1119
01:14:57,371 --> 01:14:58,406
Hey, baby.
1120
01:14:59,073 --> 01:15:00,374
It's your mama.
1121
01:15:02,209 --> 01:15:03,744
Hey, baby, it's your mama.
1122
01:15:04,011 --> 01:15:05,546
- Hi.
- Hi.
1123
01:15:06,881 --> 01:15:08,416
Let's put on some music.
1124
01:15:09,418 --> 01:15:12,354
[volume increases]
1125
01:15:18,993 --> 01:15:21,627
[song fades]
1126
01:15:21,629 --> 01:15:22,663
What?
1127
01:15:24,565 --> 01:15:27,035
No, no, it's good. It's...
1128
01:15:29,004 --> 01:15:30,338
It's just, uh...
1129
01:15:33,874 --> 01:15:35,443
All right,
I'll see you at home.
1130
01:15:48,256 --> 01:15:50,925
- I want to talk to you.
- Finally.
1131
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:52,960
Look. What you, uh...
1132
01:15:54,595 --> 01:15:56,965
[sighs] I didn't... I...
1133
01:16:00,168 --> 01:16:02,068
I didn't ask for your help.
1134
01:16:02,070 --> 01:16:04,270
I can take care of
my own family, okay?
1135
01:16:04,272 --> 01:16:05,872
- Okay.
- Okay.
1136
01:16:05,874 --> 01:16:07,774
Okay.
It's just what I do, C.P.
1137
01:16:07,776 --> 01:16:10,877
Well, whatever is you do,
don't do it for me.
1138
01:16:10,879 --> 01:16:12,247
I didn't do it for you.
1139
01:16:18,787 --> 01:16:20,020
[sighs]
1140
01:16:24,526 --> 01:16:26,926
- Strike one!
- Yeah, Chester, bring the heat!
1141
01:16:26,928 --> 01:16:29,064
All right, shut your hole.
That ain't helping.
1142
01:16:31,699 --> 01:16:35,737
Don't pay him no mind, boy.
He ain't goin' nowhere with two outs.
1143
01:16:36,805 --> 01:16:38,406
They'll hold 'em.
Be all right.
1144
01:16:48,884 --> 01:16:50,186
[bottle opens]
1145
01:16:52,121 --> 01:16:53,156
I'll be right back.

- [bat hits ball]
- [cheering]
1147
01:17:01,497 --> 01:17:03,166
- Your boy playing today?
- Oh.
1148
01:17:03,966 --> 01:17:05,034
Mr. Ellis.
1149
01:17:05,768 --> 01:17:07,969
Uh, no. My nephew.
1150
01:17:08,370 --> 01:17:10,203
You can call me C.P.
You want a beer?
1151
01:17:10,205 --> 01:17:11,437
Oh. Thanks.
1152
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:12,707
[umpire] Strike!
1153
01:17:15,343 --> 01:17:17,580
So, how do you think
it's going? The charrette.
1154
01:17:19,014 --> 01:17:20,349
Um...
1155
01:17:21,049 --> 01:17:22,050
It's interesting.
1156
01:17:23,319 --> 01:17:25,188
It's nice to hear
both sides, you know.
1157
01:17:25,488 --> 01:17:26,988
Yeah. Yeah.
1158
01:17:28,790 --> 01:17:30,660
We got some decisions to make.
1159
01:17:31,494 --> 01:17:33,093
[umpire]
Strike three! You're out!
1160
01:17:33,095 --> 01:17:34,997
[scattered cheering]
1161
01:17:35,697 --> 01:17:37,967
Say, that nigger fella?
The one that comes, uh...
1162
01:17:40,503 --> 01:17:42,071
He runs your hardware store?
1163
01:17:42,438 --> 01:17:44,641
Yeah. 'Bout two years now.
1164
01:17:45,007 --> 01:17:46,108
His name's Emmett.
1165
01:17:47,043 --> 01:17:49,845
And you trust him to...
to run things?
1166
01:17:53,450 --> 01:17:55,549
Sorry, I-I'm just curious.
1167
01:17:55,551 --> 01:17:59,422
I don't think I could trust one
of them to run my filling station.
1168
01:18:00,223 --> 01:18:02,724
Other than my wife,
he's the only person I trust.
1169
01:18:03,392 --> 01:18:04,525
How's that?
1170
01:18:04,527 --> 01:18:06,562
Well, he and I, we...
1171
01:18:08,831 --> 01:18:10,433
We were in Vietnam together.
1172
01:18:12,235 --> 01:18:14,538
- Oh. You were in Vietnam?
- Yeah.
1173
01:18:14,904 --> 01:18:17,373
Two tours. Got out in '68.
1174
01:18:17,873 --> 01:18:18,941
You?
1175
01:18:19,543 --> 01:18:21,143
No. No, I...
1176
01:18:23,547 --> 01:18:24,648
No.
1177
01:18:26,683 --> 01:18:27,750
Yeah.
1178
01:18:28,719 --> 01:18:30,884
Well, look, Mr. Ellis,
I know who you are.
1179
01:18:30,886 --> 01:18:32,387
And I know
what you want from me.
1180
01:18:32,389 --> 01:18:34,322
- But I just don't...
- No, no, Lee.
1181
01:18:34,324 --> 01:18:36,324
Any man who served bravely
in this country's military
1182
01:18:36,326 --> 01:18:38,395
doesn't need to hear
anything more from me.
1183
01:18:39,096 --> 01:18:40,631
You vote how you want to.
1184
01:18:41,398 --> 01:18:42,466
I'll respect it.
1185
01:18:46,035 --> 01:18:47,069
Mr. Ellis?
1186
01:18:49,038 --> 01:18:50,707
Emmett served
this country, too.
1187
01:18:52,342 --> 01:18:54,645
And he was a lot braver
than me.
1188
01:18:58,115 --> 01:18:59,149
[bat hits ball]
1189
01:18:59,750 --> 01:19:01,752
[scattered cheering]
1190
01:19:09,926 --> 01:19:12,494
All right, folks.
For our last day,
1191
01:19:12,496 --> 01:19:14,162
I thought we'd go
on a little field trip.
1192
01:19:14,164 --> 01:19:16,732
- Where to?
- You gotta vote Monday night.
1193
01:19:16,734 --> 01:19:19,100
I think it's important
we get a firsthand look
1194
01:19:19,102 --> 01:19:20,937
at what we've been talkin'
about the past few weeks.
1195
01:19:44,762 --> 01:19:47,297
[Bill] I know it's been a long
day, but this is the last one.
1196
01:19:48,599 --> 01:19:50,668
Please be careful.
Watch your step.
1197
01:19:51,068 --> 01:19:54,572
[Ann] Ain't no better over here.
It's a mess.
1198
01:19:54,971 --> 01:19:57,473
They gotta keep the doors open
because of the smell.
1199
01:19:57,475 --> 01:19:59,475
- I imagine so.
- It helps.
1200
01:19:59,477 --> 01:20:01,512
[children chattering]
1201
01:20:03,981 --> 01:20:05,815
Lot of kids
for summer school.
1202
01:20:05,817 --> 01:20:08,186
Uh...
That ain't summer school, C.P.
1203
01:20:08,953 --> 01:20:11,187
They still tryin' to finish up
from last year.
1204
01:20:11,189 --> 01:20:14,023
Yes, because of the split
shifts after the fire,
1205
01:20:14,025 --> 01:20:15,692
the students
were really only getting
1206
01:20:15,694 --> 01:20:18,127
about three hours
of schooling per day.
1207
01:20:18,129 --> 01:20:20,163
So, they're still catching up.
1208
01:20:21,965 --> 01:20:24,367
Hey, how you doin'?
Did you get them shoes I sent you?
1209
01:20:24,369 --> 01:20:25,835
Mama! [chuckles]
1210
01:20:25,837 --> 01:20:28,071
- Hey.
- Oh, this your girl?
1211
01:20:29,207 --> 01:20:30,441
- Hey.
- Hi.
1212
01:20:31,309 --> 01:20:34,312
Marilynn,
this here is, uh, Mr. Ellis.
1213
01:20:35,980 --> 01:20:37,148
Oh.
1214
01:20:38,483 --> 01:20:40,251
Well, I better get to class.
1215
01:20:40,952 --> 01:20:42,086
Okay.
1216
01:20:47,693 --> 01:20:50,326
[exhales]
1217
01:20:50,328 --> 01:20:52,765
She looked at me like I was
some kind of monster.
1218
01:20:54,065 --> 01:20:55,333
What'd you expect?
1219
01:20:57,803 --> 01:20:59,736
I don't know.
I'm trying to do right by us.
1220
01:20:59,738 --> 01:21:01,238
Make it all better.
1221
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,275
And how's this gonna
make it all better?
1222
01:21:03,876 --> 01:21:05,709
Hell, I'm... [scoffs]
1223
01:21:05,711 --> 01:21:07,877
They wanted to integrate restaurants.
So we did.
1224
01:21:07,879 --> 01:21:10,446
Then came buses and bathrooms
and playgrounds.
1225
01:21:10,448 --> 01:21:12,214
Look, I'm over there right now
1226
01:21:12,216 --> 01:21:14,116
supporting more funding
to make their schools better.
1227
01:21:14,118 --> 01:21:16,218
If they have nicer schools, they'll...
[kicks cabinet]
1228
01:21:16,220 --> 01:21:18,053
...stop pushin'
to integrate ours.
1229
01:21:18,055 --> 01:21:19,957
The one thing we have left.
1230
01:21:20,258 --> 01:21:22,260
Then maybe
we'll all stop fighting.
1231
01:21:22,594 --> 01:21:23,928
Then what you gonna do?
1232
01:21:25,930 --> 01:21:26,964
What?
1233
01:21:28,199 --> 01:21:30,235
When everybody stops fighting,
who you gonna fight?
1234
01:22:36,402 --> 01:22:37,770
[doorbell rings]
1235
01:22:42,675 --> 01:22:44,176
[Ann] Okay. Coming.
1236
01:22:50,349 --> 01:22:51,749
Can I help you?
1237
01:22:51,751 --> 01:22:53,620
Hi, Ann. Um...
1238
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,355
I'm Mary Ellis.
Claiborne's wife.
1239
01:22:58,858 --> 01:23:00,025
Oh.
1240
01:23:00,527 --> 01:23:03,195
I'm sorry
for just dropping by. I, um...
1241
01:23:04,364 --> 01:23:08,066
I wanted to thank you for, um,
what you did
1242
01:23:08,568 --> 01:23:10,270
for our family,
for our son Larry.
1243
01:23:12,539 --> 01:23:13,673
Please, come in.
1244
01:23:17,477 --> 01:23:18,745
- Thanks.
- Go on in.
1245
01:23:22,917 --> 01:23:25,719
- Hope you like sweet tea.
- I do.
1246
01:23:28,522 --> 01:23:31,357
So Larry is doing better, huh?
1247
01:23:32,025 --> 01:23:33,191
He is.
1248
01:23:33,826 --> 01:23:35,728
You know,
sometimes it's hard to...
1249
01:23:37,263 --> 01:23:39,599
- keep him calm.
- Mm.
1250
01:23:42,201 --> 01:23:45,738
Well, has, uh...
has Larry always been like that?
1251
01:23:46,239 --> 01:23:47,407
Yeah.
1252
01:23:48,575 --> 01:23:50,911
You know, when he was little,
it just...
1253
01:23:51,678 --> 01:23:53,681
He started not to be able
to do things.
1254
01:23:56,750 --> 01:23:58,018
[chuckles]
1255
01:23:58,852 --> 01:24:01,152
Has C.P. always been
like that?
1256
01:24:01,154 --> 01:24:03,021
- [Mary] Oh.
- [both laugh]
1257
01:24:03,023 --> 01:24:04,058
Yes.
1258
01:24:05,826 --> 01:24:06,860
More or less.
1259
01:24:09,196 --> 01:24:12,764
You know, he used to be
a really good baseball player.
1260
01:24:12,766 --> 01:24:14,199
- Really?
- Showed a lot of promise.
1261
01:24:14,201 --> 01:24:15,467
Colleges came
and looked at him
1262
01:24:15,469 --> 01:24:17,805
right over here
at Liberty Park.
1263
01:24:18,939 --> 01:24:20,438
Where we met, actually.
1264
01:24:20,440 --> 01:24:22,342
Came up to me,
he's so nervous.
1265
01:24:23,142 --> 01:24:25,511
Couldn't even talk.
So handsome.
1266
01:24:26,145 --> 01:24:28,446
- Oh.
- [laughing]
1267
01:24:28,448 --> 01:24:29,482
What?
1268
01:24:30,116 --> 01:24:32,019
- C.P. handsome?
- Oh.
1269
01:24:33,053 --> 01:24:34,153
He was.
1270
01:24:37,257 --> 01:24:38,459
Okay.
1271
01:24:40,060 --> 01:24:42,097
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
1272
01:24:44,099 --> 01:24:45,132
Thank you again.
1273
01:24:45,366 --> 01:24:46,400
You're welcome.
1274
01:24:52,272 --> 01:24:54,941
- Ann...
- Yes?
1275
01:24:54,943 --> 01:24:56,678
Claiborne is, uh...
1276
01:24:59,814 --> 01:25:01,516
He's doing
the best he can.
1277
01:25:04,619 --> 01:25:05,952
Bye.
1278
01:25:05,954 --> 01:25:07,121
Good-bye, Miss Ellis.
1279
01:25:11,325 --> 01:25:13,994
[gunfire]
1280
01:25:28,643 --> 01:25:30,308
Gimme a minute with C.P.,
would you?
1281
01:25:30,310 --> 01:25:31,546
Sure thing, Floyd.
1282
01:25:43,191 --> 01:25:45,293
[gunfire continues]
1283
01:25:50,132 --> 01:25:52,034
Hey. What do you say, Floyd?
1284
01:25:54,636 --> 01:25:55,703
You got one of those?
1285
01:26:03,945 --> 01:26:05,345
See the paper?
1286
01:26:06,346 --> 01:26:09,384
Nothin' I could do about that.
All part of this charrette business.
1287
01:26:14,389 --> 01:26:16,090
It don't look right.
1288
01:26:16,092 --> 01:26:17,757
It don't matter
what it looks like, Floyd.
1289
01:26:17,759 --> 01:26:19,059
Matters what it is.
1290
01:26:19,061 --> 01:26:20,428
Oh, yeah.
1291
01:26:21,030 --> 01:26:24,232
Your wife making friends
with Ann Atwater what it is?
1292
01:26:25,667 --> 01:26:26,701
What?
1293
01:26:28,269 --> 01:26:30,139
Couple of the boys
saw 'em today.
1294
01:26:32,273 --> 01:26:33,876
How am I supposed to
explain that?
1295
01:26:40,916 --> 01:26:42,750
She did something for Larry
is all.
1296
01:26:42,752 --> 01:26:44,619
Mary was just
probably thanking her.
1297
01:26:45,253 --> 01:26:47,353
Niggers is doing you
favors now, C.P.?
1298
01:26:47,355 --> 01:26:49,023
Stop with the bullshit, Floyd.
1299
01:26:49,424 --> 01:26:51,060
Mary's always gone
her own way.
1300
01:26:51,726 --> 01:26:54,594
Has nothin' to do with how
I do my business. Never has.
1301
01:26:54,596 --> 01:26:56,232
Now you got something to say?
Say it.
1302
01:26:58,901 --> 01:27:00,468
Look around you, C.P.
1303
01:27:00,870 --> 01:27:03,371
All these guys,
they look up to you.
1304
01:27:03,939 --> 01:27:05,141
They need you.
1305
01:27:06,407 --> 01:27:08,778
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm here, ain't I?
1306
01:27:09,512 --> 01:27:12,548
- Are you?
- I'm doin' everything I can.
1307
01:27:20,723 --> 01:27:24,460
[man vocalizing]
1308
01:27:26,930 --> 01:27:29,132
[folk-pop plays]
1309
01:27:33,434 --> 01:27:36,205
[man singing]
1310
01:28:12,976 --> 01:28:15,478
Hey. Is Mr. Trombley in?
1311
01:28:15,946 --> 01:28:17,814
- Yes, sir. He's...
- Can I help you?
1312
01:28:18,515 --> 01:28:19,682
Mr. Trombley.
1313
01:28:20,683 --> 01:28:23,652
We're from Durham Fire and
Life Safety Department. Uh...
1314
01:28:24,287 --> 01:28:26,189
We've got a random
inspection order here.
1315
01:28:26,655 --> 01:28:27,891
On a Sunday?
1316
01:28:29,491 --> 01:28:30,994
We do 'em when they come in.
1317
01:28:31,627 --> 01:28:33,828
We'll need access
to your breaker panels
1318
01:28:33,830 --> 01:28:36,166
and your hazardous materials
storage area.
1319
01:28:36,633 --> 01:28:40,003
Yeah, all right. Sure.
Uh, come on back. Right this way.
1320
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:45,473
So, Mr. Trombley, it, uh,
1321
01:28:45,475 --> 01:28:47,141
seems your
circuit breaker panels
1322
01:28:47,143 --> 01:28:49,043
are not up to code.
1323
01:28:49,045 --> 01:28:51,813
You need at least 30-inch
clearance on both sides,
1324
01:28:51,815 --> 01:28:53,583
and you've got
a little under two feet.
1325
01:28:55,485 --> 01:29:00,521
Oh... [stammers] They've been like
that for 20 years, since I was a kid.
1326
01:29:00,523 --> 01:29:04,527
Nevertheless, that needs to be
rectified before you can, uh, reopen.
1327
01:29:05,162 --> 01:29:09,599
- Reopen?
- Yeah. Gotta shut you down... indefinitely.
1328
01:29:10,367 --> 01:29:14,469
What? Oh, no. I...
See, I can't shut down.
1329
01:29:14,471 --> 01:29:16,506
I got...
I got a business here... Th...
1330
01:29:19,542 --> 01:29:21,578
[chuckles]
What are they supposed to do?
1331
01:29:25,349 --> 01:29:28,986
I'm gonna need them boys
outta here... now.
1332
01:29:32,390 --> 01:29:33,657
Like I said...
1333
01:29:35,458 --> 01:29:37,627
if you fix things...
1334
01:29:39,063 --> 01:29:41,098
you'll be open again
in no time.
1335
01:29:42,900 --> 01:29:46,170
You have a nice day,
Mr. Trombley.
1336
01:30:39,758 --> 01:30:41,559
My, my, my.
1337
01:30:42,593 --> 01:30:44,462
Aren't you
a pretty little thing?
1338
01:30:45,196 --> 01:30:46,364
Who are you?
1339
01:30:47,198 --> 01:30:48,299
What do you want?
1340
01:30:48,933 --> 01:30:51,569
Take it easy, Maddy.
We're just, uh,
1341
01:30:52,437 --> 01:30:54,171
[chuckles] friends.
1342
01:30:56,007 --> 01:30:57,175
Please don't.
1343
01:30:57,842 --> 01:31:00,611
Shh. It's okay.
1344
01:31:05,083 --> 01:31:07,319
None of these pictures
have niggers in 'em.
1345
01:31:10,288 --> 01:31:13,058
We heard you might be
a friend of niggers.
1346
01:31:13,358 --> 01:31:15,794
But I don't see none
on this wall.
1347
01:31:18,464 --> 01:31:21,967
Just to be sure though,
we're gonna need to hear you say it.
1348
01:31:23,503 --> 01:31:24,536
Say it?
1349
01:31:26,872 --> 01:31:27,906
Yes.
1350
01:31:28,907 --> 01:31:29,941
Say it.
1351
01:31:30,708 --> 01:31:33,378
That you ain't
a friend of niggers.
1352
01:31:35,213 --> 01:31:39,851
I'm... not
a friend of niggers.
1353
01:31:44,256 --> 01:31:45,257
Again.
1354
01:31:46,191 --> 01:31:49,361
I'm not a friend
of niggers.
1355
01:31:52,664 --> 01:31:53,765
[scoffs]
1356
01:31:57,203 --> 01:31:58,237
Well, then.
1357
01:31:58,637 --> 01:32:00,739
We must've got
some bad information.
1358
01:32:01,873 --> 01:32:04,609
Guess there was no need
for the visit after all.
1359
01:32:10,049 --> 01:32:11,451
Thanks for the beer, Maddy.
1360
01:32:18,723 --> 01:32:22,127
[jukebox:
woman singing country]
1361
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:28,967
- Hey.
- Beer, C.P.?
1362
01:32:29,935 --> 01:32:31,404
Yeah. Thanks, Doreen.
1363
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:34,639
[bottle opens]
1364
01:32:39,212 --> 01:32:41,814
[Wiley laughing]
1365
01:32:42,448 --> 01:32:43,648
C.P.!
1366
01:32:44,150 --> 01:32:45,983
Hey, C.P.!
1367
01:32:45,985 --> 01:32:47,418
What do you say, boys?
1368
01:32:47,420 --> 01:32:49,755
Come on, sit down.
1369
01:32:50,323 --> 01:32:52,990
Nah. Been a long week.
1370
01:32:52,992 --> 01:32:55,059
Just gonna have one beer
and go.
1371
01:32:55,061 --> 01:32:57,663
Oh, come on, C.P.
We celebratin'.
1372
01:32:58,131 --> 01:33:01,098
Yeah. What are you
celebratin', Wiley?
1373
01:33:01,100 --> 01:33:05,072
We celebrating
you gettin' your votes, C.P.
1374
01:33:05,705 --> 01:33:08,941
Well, a little early for that,
don't you think?
1375
01:33:09,308 --> 01:33:11,144
- [laughs]
- But have fun.
1376
01:33:18,651 --> 01:33:20,419
What do you know about votes,
Wiley?
1377
01:33:22,922 --> 01:33:24,957
[laughing]
1378
01:33:28,595 --> 01:33:30,564
[people chattering]
1379
01:33:35,502 --> 01:33:37,835
- [door opens]
- You shut him down?
1380
01:33:37,837 --> 01:33:39,538
- What are you doin' here, C.P.?
- [door closes]
1381
01:33:39,540 --> 01:33:41,139
- You shut him down.
- What are you talking about?
1382
01:33:41,141 --> 01:33:43,210
- Lee Trombley.
- Is that what this is about?
1383
01:33:43,709 --> 01:33:47,045
You didn't have to do that, Carvie.
You didn't have to do that.
1384
01:33:47,047 --> 01:33:49,881
This not a good time to show up, C.P.
I got donors in there.
1385
01:33:49,883 --> 01:33:51,683
You haven't answered
my question.
1386
01:33:51,685 --> 01:33:53,854
We're just trying
to give you a leg up is all.
1387
01:33:54,687 --> 01:33:57,688
Call it insurance, whatever you want.
You got a big vote tomorrow.
1388
01:33:57,690 --> 01:33:59,890
That man served his country,
Carvie.
1389
01:33:59,892 --> 01:34:02,194
Two tours in Vietnam.
He's a working man with a family.
1390
01:34:02,196 --> 01:34:04,429
- Well...
- "Protect the white working man."
1391
01:34:04,431 --> 01:34:06,264
Isn't that what you always said,
what we always talked about?
1392
01:34:06,266 --> 01:34:11,438
C.P., sometimes there are
necessary evils.
1393
01:34:12,005 --> 01:34:14,641
Necessary evils
for the greater good.
1394
01:34:15,108 --> 01:34:17,042
And it's my job to make
those kind of decisions.
1395
01:34:17,044 --> 01:34:18,812
You're just gonna
have to trust me on this.
1396
01:34:23,283 --> 01:34:24,985
You should get
back to your party.
1397
01:34:26,621 --> 01:34:28,889
C.P.? Are we good?
1398
01:34:50,712 --> 01:34:53,146
Hey, Floyd called.
Said they want you at Klavern.
1399
01:34:56,584 --> 01:34:57,719
Klavern?
1400
01:35:00,455 --> 01:35:02,789
Something about a meeting
at 8:30 or something.
1401
01:35:04,359 --> 01:35:05,526
What? You didn't know?
1402
01:35:07,428 --> 01:35:09,364
Oh. You all right?
1403
01:35:10,365 --> 01:35:11,466
You look tired.
1404
01:35:15,903 --> 01:35:17,105
Yeah, I'm all right.
1405
01:35:18,239 --> 01:35:20,408
- You all right?
- [chuckles] Yeah, I'm all right.
1406
01:36:01,849 --> 01:36:03,985
[crowd chattering]
1407
01:36:36,585 --> 01:36:38,520
[chattering stops]
1408
01:36:50,632 --> 01:36:52,868
- [whispers, indistinct]
- He's here.
1409
01:37:02,411 --> 01:37:03,546
Come on up, C.P.
1410
01:37:15,791 --> 01:37:16,759
Hey.
1411
01:37:17,359 --> 01:37:18,527
What's goin' on?
1412
01:37:20,529 --> 01:37:22,431
Distinguished Klansmen,
1413
01:37:22,832 --> 01:37:27,067
every now and again,
extraordinary things occur within our walls
1414
01:37:27,069 --> 01:37:28,504
that need to be addressed.
1415
01:37:29,538 --> 01:37:33,610
As your state leader,
it is my job to address them.
1416
01:37:34,376 --> 01:37:36,544
In our fight
against communism,
1417
01:37:36,546 --> 01:37:39,047
against integration,
against mongrelism...
1418
01:37:40,350 --> 01:37:42,550
we turn to those among us
1419
01:37:42,552 --> 01:37:47,290
who can lead us into
a pure, white future.
1420
01:37:48,425 --> 01:37:51,795
We have one such man
here in North Carolina.
1421
01:37:53,696 --> 01:37:56,764
Your Exhalted Cyclops,
C.P. Ellis.
1422
01:37:56,766 --> 01:38:00,402
[applause, cheering]
1423
01:38:04,940 --> 01:38:10,580
So, in recognition
of this man's tireless effort,
1424
01:38:11,180 --> 01:38:12,847
for his forethought and vision
1425
01:38:12,849 --> 01:38:15,652
in establishing the UKA's
first Youth Corps...
1426
01:38:17,253 --> 01:38:18,922
I guess I'll just read this.
1427
01:38:19,923 --> 01:38:23,092
It says,
"The United Klans of America
1428
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,762
hereby bestow upon
Mr. Claiborne Paul Ellis
1429
01:38:26,764 --> 01:38:29,297
the honor of being named
1430
01:38:29,299 --> 01:38:34,304
North Carolina's 'Exhalted'
Cyclops of the Year, 1971."
1431
01:38:38,442 --> 01:38:40,444
[indistinct]
1432
01:39:12,476 --> 01:39:15,844
What do you mean, you're not the right
person? Baby, the vote is tonight.
1433
01:39:15,846 --> 01:39:18,747
- Yeah, but there's gotta be somebody else.
- There's nobody else, Maddy.
1434
01:39:18,749 --> 01:39:20,449
You heard everything,
you've seen everything.
1435
01:39:20,451 --> 01:39:21,917
No one else can take
your seat.
1436
01:39:21,919 --> 01:39:23,387
What brought this on, Maddy?
1437
01:39:24,990 --> 01:39:26,622
What happened?
1438
01:39:26,624 --> 01:39:28,459
- Nothing. I just...
- [footsteps approach]
1439
01:39:31,661 --> 01:39:35,465
It's nothing. Um... It's fine.
If you'll just excuse me.
1440
01:39:35,799 --> 01:39:37,367
[Ann] Mm-hmm.
1441
01:39:49,914 --> 01:39:52,082
Maddy Mays don't want to vote.
1442
01:39:52,716 --> 01:39:54,920
Just like that, out of the blue.
[snaps fingers]
1443
01:39:57,154 --> 01:39:59,022
- What'd you do to that girl?
- Now, Ann.
1444
01:39:59,024 --> 01:40:00,859
I saw the way she looked...
Don't you "Now, Ann" me.
1445
01:40:02,027 --> 01:40:03,828
You coward.
1446
01:40:04,428 --> 01:40:06,731
- I ain't no coward.
- Yeah, you a coward.
1447
01:40:06,998 --> 01:40:10,165
Couldn't do it in here.
Too many people with they own thoughts.
1448
01:40:10,167 --> 01:40:12,936
You couldn't win in here,
so you went and you fixed it out there.
1449
01:40:12,938 --> 01:40:14,773
- I don't have to listen to this.
- You gonna listen today.
1450
01:40:16,206 --> 01:40:18,275
What you so afraid of, C.P.?
1451
01:40:18,876 --> 01:40:21,075
- I ain't afraid of nothing.
- Yeah, you is. You're afraid.
1452
01:40:21,077 --> 01:40:23,145
You afraid
you gonna lose control.
1453
01:40:23,147 --> 01:40:26,081
You afraid you gonna lose
what you ain't even got, C.P.!
1454
01:40:26,083 --> 01:40:28,250
You're poor.
Just like the rest of us.
1455
01:40:28,252 --> 01:40:30,085
You ain't got nothing
'cept problems.
1456
01:40:30,087 --> 01:40:31,988
Talkin' 'bout you...
you in control.
1457
01:40:31,990 --> 01:40:34,224
You ain't no more in control
than the man in the moon.
1458
01:40:35,192 --> 01:40:37,629
You're a bigger coward
than I thought you was.
1459
01:40:38,063 --> 01:40:40,031
[footsteps depart]
1460
01:41:02,755 --> 01:41:04,757
[male reporter]
The five o'clock news hour.
1461
01:41:05,091 --> 01:41:09,592
With the highly anticipated charrette
vote just a few hours away now,
1462
01:41:09,594 --> 01:41:12,562
we caught up
with WDNC's Ken Meadows,
1463
01:41:12,564 --> 01:41:14,731
who was with some students
1464
01:41:14,733 --> 01:41:17,369
gathered outside the
charrette site earlier today.
1465
01:41:17,769 --> 01:41:19,268
[Meadows] Do you think
it's gonna be okay?
1466
01:41:19,270 --> 01:41:20,739
[child]
Well, it might be all right.
1467
01:41:22,207 --> 01:41:24,040
[child 2]
I think the same thing too.
1468
01:41:24,042 --> 01:41:25,975
- [child 3] Uh-uh. I don't.
- [Meadows] Why not?
1469
01:41:25,977 --> 01:41:29,980
I don't. Because, see,
our first day that I went out there
1470
01:41:29,982 --> 01:41:31,816
where we had to scramble,
you know.
1471
01:41:32,217 --> 01:41:33,618
But it was okay.
1472
01:41:34,653 --> 01:41:37,788
[girl] It doesn't matter what school
you go to, it's gonna be the same.
1473
01:41:37,790 --> 01:41:39,659
You get your education
just the same.
1474
01:41:40,458 --> 01:41:43,929
I'm fixin' to enroll now,
and it'll be my school.
1475
01:41:45,330 --> 01:41:47,898
[Meadows] Are you concerned for
your daughter, or is she concerned?
1476
01:41:47,900 --> 01:41:49,500
[woman]
Well, I'm concerned for her,
1477
01:41:49,502 --> 01:41:52,004
and I think she's concerned
for her education.
1478
01:41:52,938 --> 01:41:54,937
[Meadows] Laverne,
I just talked to your mother.
1479
01:41:54,939 --> 01:41:56,939
She said you're a little concerned.
Are you?
1480
01:41:56,941 --> 01:41:59,177
- [Laverne] I'm very much concerned.
- Why?
1481
01:41:59,811 --> 01:42:03,513
Oh, because I wanna...
I wanna be very sure about this year,
1482
01:42:03,515 --> 01:42:06,719
and I want to really know
what they're doing, and...
1483
01:42:07,452 --> 01:42:12,056
I think that it will work out if
everybody cooperates together.
1484
01:42:12,058 --> 01:42:15,959
Because, I mean, this is not
the, probably, first time...
1485
01:42:15,961 --> 01:42:18,764
[continues, indistinct]
1486
01:42:45,191 --> 01:42:47,093
[breath quavers]
1487
01:42:54,900 --> 01:42:57,204
[loud chattering]
1488
01:43:50,257 --> 01:43:53,059
- You did great work, Ann.
- No.
1489
01:43:53,527 --> 01:43:56,961
The one thing those people came here
for, we didn't get it for 'em.
1490
01:43:56,963 --> 01:43:59,332
Not true.
Some of them will be delighted.
1491
01:43:59,966 --> 01:44:01,334
[chuckles]
1492
01:44:02,502 --> 01:44:05,305
You know, I never really
thought you was an Uncle Tom.
1493
01:44:06,339 --> 01:44:07,541
Yes, you did.
1494
01:44:09,177 --> 01:44:11,212
[both chuckling]
1495
01:44:11,746 --> 01:44:13,214
"Roughhouse Annie," huh?
1496
01:44:13,647 --> 01:44:15,183
Don't you forget it.
1497
01:44:24,157 --> 01:44:25,759
Welcome, welcome.
1498
01:44:27,661 --> 01:44:29,930
[applause]
1499
01:44:33,267 --> 01:44:36,503
Well, what a journey
it's been, folks.
1500
01:44:37,138 --> 01:44:40,174
You've all shown such
dedication these past two weeks.
1501
01:44:40,473 --> 01:44:43,978
And regardless of the outcome,
you should be proud.
1502
01:44:51,185 --> 01:44:54,320
The resolution you've put
before this senate is clear,
1503
01:44:54,322 --> 01:44:58,059
it is thoughtful,
and above all, it is brave.
1504
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:00,828
This resolution is
in three parts.
1505
01:45:01,395 --> 01:45:03,296
After I read out each one,
1506
01:45:03,298 --> 01:45:05,699
I will call the senate members
up to cast their votes.
1507
01:45:06,466 --> 01:45:10,169
Each part requires
a two-thirds majority to pass.
1508
01:45:10,171 --> 01:45:11,873
That's eight votes.
1509
01:45:13,406 --> 01:45:14,541
Part one.
1510
01:45:15,542 --> 01:45:18,010
Two students,
one black, one white,
1511
01:45:18,012 --> 01:45:21,883
to be appointed every year
to the Durham school board.
1512
01:45:22,183 --> 01:45:24,185
I vote yes.
1513
01:45:27,688 --> 01:45:28,856
Mr. Watford.
1514
01:45:30,625 --> 01:45:31,826
I'm a no.
1515
01:45:33,995 --> 01:45:35,694
- I vote yes.
- [applause]
1516
01:45:35,696 --> 01:45:38,166
[Bill] Part one passes
with eight votes.
1517
01:45:41,203 --> 01:45:46,840
Part two. This calls that summer classes
be included in the school board budget
1518
01:45:46,842 --> 01:45:49,910
so the black students become
level with their white peers.
1519
01:45:49,912 --> 01:45:51,046
Mr. Weeks.
1520
01:45:52,748 --> 01:45:55,047
- I vote no.
- [scattered applause]
1521
01:45:55,049 --> 01:45:56,117
Mr. Cox.
1522
01:45:57,151 --> 01:45:58,286
[Cox] I vote yes.
1523
01:46:00,688 --> 01:46:01,756
I vote yes.
1524
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,793
[Bill] Part two passes
with eight votes.
1525
01:46:07,795 --> 01:46:10,731
[applause]
1526
01:46:19,473 --> 01:46:20,642
Part three.
1527
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:26,481
Public school integration.
1528
01:46:28,050 --> 01:46:29,184
In summary,
1529
01:46:30,085 --> 01:46:32,953
this calls for full
and immediate integration
1530
01:46:32,955 --> 01:46:35,891
starting in the fall semester
of this school year.
1531
01:46:36,758 --> 01:46:40,760
The resolution defines full
integration by setting a race ratio
1532
01:46:40,762 --> 01:46:45,599
of no less than 25 percent
of any race at each school.
1533
01:46:46,401 --> 01:46:49,869
And further, that busing be
made available to students
1534
01:46:49,871 --> 01:46:53,175
to aid in the implementation
of this ratio.
1535
01:46:55,577 --> 01:46:58,313
We'll start the vote
on this side with Miss Wilson.
1536
01:47:00,082 --> 01:47:02,150
[people whispering]
1537
01:47:07,990 --> 01:47:09,825
I vote yes.
1538
01:47:15,365 --> 01:47:16,466
Mr. Watford?
1539
01:47:23,006 --> 01:47:24,105
I vote no.
1540
01:47:24,107 --> 01:47:26,476
[applause]
1541
01:47:28,378 --> 01:47:30,045
Mr. Mose.
1542
01:47:34,317 --> 01:47:35,949
I vote yes.
1543
01:47:35,951 --> 01:47:37,819
[applause]
1544
01:47:40,822 --> 01:47:41,990
Mr. Weeks.
1545
01:47:46,496 --> 01:47:49,696
I vote "hell no."
1546
01:47:49,698 --> 01:47:51,467
[cheering, applause]
1547
01:47:55,938 --> 01:47:57,206
Mr. Cox?
1548
01:48:02,111 --> 01:48:03,744
I vote "hell yes."
1549
01:48:03,746 --> 01:48:05,948
[cheering, applause]
1550
01:48:12,189 --> 01:48:13,357
Mr. Trombley.
1551
01:48:24,599 --> 01:48:26,135
Thank you, Mr. Riddick.
1552
01:48:33,410 --> 01:48:36,344
I believe in school
integration, and I vote yes.
1553
01:48:36,346 --> 01:48:38,881
[applause]
1554
01:48:41,318 --> 01:48:42,752
It's not gonna matter.
1555
01:48:49,692 --> 01:48:50,793
[Bill] Reverend.
1556
01:48:53,730 --> 01:48:59,636
With the good Lord as my
guide, I proudly vote yes.
1557
01:49:03,674 --> 01:49:04,808
Miss Mays.
1558
01:49:23,293 --> 01:49:27,998
Although I think it should be
considered in the future, I...
1559
01:49:31,268 --> 01:49:34,439
I don't believe right now
is the time for integration.
1560
01:49:35,906 --> 01:49:37,841
Respectfully, I vote no.
1561
01:49:39,611 --> 01:49:41,778
- [applause]
- Hey.
1562
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:58,128
[applause quiets]
1563
01:50:11,543 --> 01:50:12,676
Mr. Clement.
1564
01:50:17,848 --> 01:50:22,952
I am honored to have had the
chance to get to know most of you
1565
01:50:22,954 --> 01:50:24,923
these past few weeks,
1566
01:50:25,323 --> 01:50:28,259
to work on these vital issues.
1567
01:50:28,693 --> 01:50:32,931
And while I fear
that my vote will be in vain,
1568
01:50:33,666 --> 01:50:35,233
I'm still gonna vote.
1569
01:50:36,067 --> 01:50:38,903
And I vote yes
on school integration.
1570
01:50:44,542 --> 01:50:45,577
Mr. Keith.
1571
01:50:52,050 --> 01:50:53,084
No.
1572
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:03,696
Miss Atwater.
1573
01:51:32,123 --> 01:51:33,157
Yes.
1574
01:51:33,891 --> 01:51:36,127
[applause]
1575
01:51:40,633 --> 01:51:42,468
Looks like
we finally shut her up.
1576
01:51:44,503 --> 01:51:45,770
Mr. Ellis.
1577
01:51:46,605 --> 01:51:48,106
- [applause]
- All right.
1578
01:51:48,674 --> 01:51:49,907
All right.
1579
01:51:53,212 --> 01:51:54,280
All right.
1580
01:51:55,381 --> 01:51:56,415
Thank you.
1581
01:51:57,049 --> 01:51:58,115
Thank you.
1582
01:51:58,117 --> 01:51:59,585
[whistling]
1583
01:52:00,719 --> 01:52:02,154
I-I-I...
1584
01:52:07,727 --> 01:52:11,330
- Uh...
- [applause quiets]
1585
01:52:12,465 --> 01:52:14,766
I guess I'd first echo
what Mr. Clement said.
1586
01:52:14,768 --> 01:52:16,670
It was good to get to know
some of you, and I...
1587
01:52:17,802 --> 01:52:21,507
I know many of you will be
disappointed with our outcome here.
1588
01:52:22,675 --> 01:52:23,709
I, uh...
1589
01:52:38,157 --> 01:52:40,059
You know, before I go on...
[clears throat]
1590
01:52:41,461 --> 01:52:43,329
...I'd like to show you all
something.
1591
01:52:45,964 --> 01:52:48,399
- This is my Klan membership card.
- [man] All right.
1592
01:52:48,401 --> 01:52:50,301
[scattered laughter]
1593
01:52:50,303 --> 01:52:53,506
I was given this card
12 years ago.
1594
01:52:54,741 --> 01:52:56,842
It's been in my wallet
ever since.
1595
01:52:57,577 --> 01:52:59,644
In fact, I cried
when they gave me this card.
1596
01:52:59,646 --> 01:53:02,682
And I grew up in a house where
I was taught men don't cry.
1597
01:53:03,450 --> 01:53:04,951
But I cried anyway.
1598
01:53:05,918 --> 01:53:09,556
I cried because it was the first
time in my life I didn't feel alone.
1599
01:53:12,659 --> 01:53:14,826
Sure, I was married
with a family.
1600
01:53:14,828 --> 01:53:17,462
That's not the kind of alone
I'm talking about.
1601
01:53:17,464 --> 01:53:19,865
As a man, you're expected
to take care of that family.
1602
01:53:21,201 --> 01:53:23,236
And I was havin' a hard time
doin' that.
1603
01:53:23,969 --> 01:53:27,607
We were struggling.
So...
1604
01:53:28,842 --> 01:53:31,175
There I was.
I was a part of something now.
1605
01:53:31,177 --> 01:53:34,614
Something much,
much bigger than me.
1606
01:53:36,483 --> 01:53:39,519
And then when they made me
president, boy, I was over the moon.
1607
01:53:40,855 --> 01:53:43,123
Poor old C.P. Ellis
president of something.
1608
01:53:44,759 --> 01:53:46,394
Whoa. [chuckles]
1609
01:53:54,467 --> 01:53:56,536
And it's a real brotherhood.
It is.
1610
01:53:56,836 --> 01:53:59,105
In the Klan,
you look out for one another.
1611
01:53:59,539 --> 01:54:02,675
Nobody is left behind.
Everybody does for everybody else.
1612
01:54:03,376 --> 01:54:05,209
In fact, it says it right
here on this card...
1613
01:54:05,211 --> 01:54:08,915
It says
"Non silba, sed anthar."
1614
01:54:10,049 --> 01:54:12,919
Which means "Not for
oneself, but for others."
1615
01:54:13,721 --> 01:54:15,088
That's our motto.
1616
01:54:18,592 --> 01:54:20,260
But see, now I got a problem.
1617
01:54:21,562 --> 01:54:22,663
There's a problem...
1618
01:54:24,465 --> 01:54:26,765
'cause there's a lot of that going
around right here in this room.
1619
01:54:26,767 --> 01:54:28,102
People doin' for others.
1620
01:54:29,904 --> 01:54:32,273
Last two weeks have been
full of people just do...
1621
01:54:33,140 --> 01:54:34,341
doing for others.
1622
01:54:35,476 --> 01:54:37,911
And they're not just white people.
There's a...
1623
01:54:37,913 --> 01:54:40,247
There's a lot of black folk
doing for others too.
1624
01:54:41,615 --> 01:54:43,314
But I'm the president
of the Klan.
1625
01:54:43,316 --> 01:54:44,917
I'm supposed to hate
black folk.
1626
01:54:44,919 --> 01:54:48,121
I teach people
to hate black folk.
1627
01:54:50,056 --> 01:54:52,426
They're supposed to be
inferior to us.
1628
01:54:55,094 --> 01:54:56,831
Now, if I don't believe that,
1629
01:54:57,398 --> 01:55:00,434
then I have no business being
president of the Klan.
1630
01:55:06,106 --> 01:55:07,408
Well, I don't believe it.
1631
01:55:10,779 --> 01:55:12,179
So my problem is...
1632
01:55:13,414 --> 01:55:15,316
I don't have no need
for this anymore.
1633
01:55:30,664 --> 01:55:32,431
Mr. Riddick, I vote yes.
1634
01:55:32,433 --> 01:55:33,499
Jesus!
1635
01:55:33,501 --> 01:55:34,867
[cheering]
1636
01:55:34,869 --> 01:55:36,203
[no audible dialogue]
1637
01:55:50,351 --> 01:55:51,953
I just don't believe it.
1638
01:56:01,463 --> 01:56:02,631
[Ann] C.P.?
1639
01:56:06,034 --> 01:56:07,135
C.P.?
1640
01:56:33,996 --> 01:56:36,698
[phone rings]
1641
01:56:39,936 --> 01:56:41,904
[rings]
1642
01:56:46,943 --> 01:56:48,044
Yeah?
1643
01:57:13,736 --> 01:57:14,870
[Jeb] Where's the key?
1644
01:57:15,236 --> 01:57:17,039
- Jeb!
- Where's the key?
1645
01:57:20,776 --> 01:57:22,310
Call the fire department!
1646
01:57:29,919 --> 01:57:32,021
- Come on.
- [both straining]
1647
01:58:20,469 --> 01:58:21,672
[woman] Thank you.
1648
01:58:22,338 --> 01:58:25,942
Next on the agenda is delivery
of the charrette resolution.
1649
01:58:26,476 --> 01:58:29,479
The council recognizes
Miss Atwater.
1650
01:58:49,032 --> 01:58:51,567
[phone rings]
1651
01:58:55,072 --> 01:58:57,107
[rings]
1652
01:58:59,676 --> 01:59:01,445
Yeah. Hello?
1653
01:59:02,145 --> 01:59:04,314
[line disconnects, dial tone]
1654
01:59:56,734 --> 01:59:58,136
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1655
02:00:00,270 --> 02:00:01,405
How many?
1656
02:00:01,773 --> 02:00:04,609
Well, you lost
about 650 gallons.
1657
02:00:05,343 --> 02:00:07,044
You're lucky
the thing didn't explode.
1658
02:00:07,578 --> 02:00:09,080
Yeah, okay.
1659
02:00:09,580 --> 02:00:13,218
You want to replace the loss?
I can have a truck here tomorrow.
1660
02:00:15,753 --> 02:00:17,887
No. Let's see how
the rest of the month goes.
1661
02:00:17,889 --> 02:00:18,956
All right.
1662
02:00:20,290 --> 02:00:22,794
- What's this?
- Would you sign both pages?
1663
02:00:45,150 --> 02:00:46,285
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
1664
02:00:47,019 --> 02:00:48,519
Change your mind,
give us a call.
1665
02:01:11,243 --> 02:01:12,977
- Mr. Ellis.
- Mm-hmm?
1666
02:01:14,512 --> 02:01:16,514
If you need to let me go,
it's okay.
1667
02:01:17,182 --> 02:01:19,284
You know,
until things pick up again.
1668
02:01:20,818 --> 02:01:23,688
I appreciate that, Jeb.
But we're not there yet, okay?
1669
02:01:24,122 --> 02:01:26,725
So for now, go ahead,
take your lunch break.
1670
02:01:27,860 --> 02:01:29,493
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1671
02:01:30,262 --> 02:01:31,330
All right.
1672
02:01:34,299 --> 02:01:37,002
- [vehicle approaches]
- [bell dings]
1673
02:01:57,689 --> 02:02:01,523
I hope you didn't come here to
ask me to co-chair somethin' else.
1674
02:02:01,525 --> 02:02:04,327
Nah. I just came
to say good-bye is all.
1675
02:02:04,329 --> 02:02:07,099
- Back to Raleigh, huh?
- Back to Raleigh.
1676
02:02:15,241 --> 02:02:16,840
What trouble you been causin'?
1677
02:02:16,842 --> 02:02:19,444
- Just organizing, you know me.
- [chuckles]
1678
02:02:20,146 --> 02:02:22,547
- It's what you do, right?
- It's just what I do.
1679
02:02:22,916 --> 02:02:24,648
I sure wish
you coulda been there
1680
02:02:24,650 --> 02:02:27,218
when we handed in
our resolution. Mmm.
1681
02:02:27,220 --> 02:02:29,454
Old Carvie Oldham
didn't even show up.
1682
02:02:29,989 --> 02:02:31,024
[scoffs]
1683
02:02:32,558 --> 02:02:34,027
Wish I'd seen that.
1684
02:02:34,527 --> 02:02:35,895
How are you doin', C.P.?
1685
02:02:36,763 --> 02:02:38,598
Oh, had a little trouble here.
1686
02:02:39,766 --> 02:02:41,731
Just trying to
put it back together.
1687
02:02:41,733 --> 02:02:43,101
Yeah, we heard.
1688
02:02:44,136 --> 02:02:45,902
I'm so sorry, C.P.
1689
02:02:45,904 --> 02:02:48,774
It's okay.
Although not sure it matters much.
1690
02:02:49,541 --> 02:02:52,742
Nobody stoppin' to buy gas
from me these days.
1691
02:02:52,744 --> 02:02:55,046
[horns honking in distance]
1692
02:02:55,048 --> 02:02:58,450
Well... Maybe things
will pick up for you.
1693
02:03:00,219 --> 02:03:01,788
What you smilin' at?
1694
02:03:02,088 --> 02:03:04,190
- [chuckling]
- [honking continues]
1695
02:03:10,596 --> 02:03:12,565
[honking continues]
1696
02:03:33,820 --> 02:03:35,922
That's just what I do, C.P.
1697
02:03:36,289 --> 02:03:38,558
You know that.
That's just what I do.
1698
02:03:55,476 --> 02:03:58,578
- [bell dings]
- Hey, Jeb. We got customers.
1699
02:04:02,816 --> 02:04:05,486
Gas? [chuckles]
1700
02:04:05,853 --> 02:04:07,486
- Gas?
- [Jeb] All right, sir.
1701
02:04:07,488 --> 02:04:09,054
[C.P.] You want gas?
1702
02:04:09,056 --> 02:04:10,858
- [Jeb] Yeah, no problem.
- [C.P.] All right.
1703
02:04:15,330 --> 02:04:17,663
[soul song plays]
1704
02:04:24,438 --> 02:04:27,241
[man singing]
1705
02:04:29,343 --> 02:04:33,311
She can upset the world with
her mouth if she wants to.
1706
02:04:33,313 --> 02:04:36,281
But everywhere I go,
every time I pick up a newspaper,
1707
02:04:36,283 --> 02:04:39,618
Ann Atwater's been before the
council, the county commission,
1708
02:04:39,620 --> 02:04:42,020
or she was at some
shopping center boycotting,
1709
02:04:42,022 --> 02:04:43,791
or she was downtown
at Woolworths.
1710
02:04:44,359 --> 02:04:46,325
And he was woofin'
and goin' on,
1711
02:04:46,327 --> 02:04:48,428
and the place was packed
with Klansmen.
1712
02:04:48,430 --> 02:04:51,932
This particular night, C.P.
was up raging and ranting.
1713
02:04:52,534 --> 02:04:54,601
That's when
I wanted to cut his head off.
1714
02:04:54,868 --> 02:04:56,835
And after that first meeting,
1715
02:04:56,837 --> 02:04:59,340
I actually went home saying,
this is crazy.
1716
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:03,543
This is absolutely crazy.
I don't think I wanna do this.
1717
02:05:03,545 --> 02:05:06,413
I mean, I can make a living
easier than this.
1718
02:05:07,081 --> 02:05:09,983
[song continues]
1719
02:05:13,587 --> 02:05:16,524
The story was picked up
in The Washington Post.
1720
02:05:17,224 --> 02:05:19,793
"Black man calls Klansman
'brother.'"
1721
02:05:20,395 --> 02:05:24,532
And of course, my father, when he read
the story in The Washington Post...
1722
02:05:25,599 --> 02:05:27,469
he thought I had lost my mind.
1723
02:05:35,009 --> 02:05:40,882
In becoming my friend,
C.P. has lost a lot.
1724
02:05:41,216 --> 02:05:44,587
Look, you do not make those changes
without having to pay for 'em.
1725
02:05:44,986 --> 02:05:47,887
I know damn well, you know.
1726
02:05:47,889 --> 02:05:49,624
You have to pay for it
eventually.
1727
02:05:50,259 --> 02:05:52,924
We bonded,
and we are still bonding.
1728
02:05:52,926 --> 02:05:54,826
Until I get mad with him
at times.
1729
02:05:54,828 --> 02:05:58,730
But we've made it through these
years, together 30 years,
1730
02:05:58,732 --> 02:06:00,335
and we're still friends.
1731
02:06:01,236 --> 02:06:03,805
[song continues]
1732
02:06:21,624 --> 02:06:26,428
'Cause there are C.P. Ellises and Ann
Atwaters in almost every community.
1733
02:06:27,662 --> 02:06:29,532
They just need
to be brought together
1734
02:06:30,065 --> 02:06:33,636
and experience what we experienced
in Durham with that charrette.
1735
02:06:38,140 --> 02:06:40,209
[no audible dialogue]
1736
02:06:42,243 --> 02:06:44,479
[song fades]
1737
02:06:45,813 --> 02:06:47,815
