1
00:00:04,045 --> 00:00:06,130
Previously on Genius...
2
00:00:06,131 --> 00:00:07,715
How
about Daddy took on the Klan?
3
00:00:07,716 --> 00:00:09,591
And where the hell
did that get him?
4
00:00:09,592 --> 00:00:11,844
His people appeared only
in sheets and hoods.
5
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:14,304
I've joined the Nation of Islam,
6
00:00:14,305 --> 00:00:16,181
so has Ella Mae.
7
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:17,725
I would like to make you
8
00:00:17,726 --> 00:00:19,977
the national representative
to the Nation.
9
00:00:19,978 --> 00:00:21,061
Absolutely.
10
00:00:21,062 --> 00:00:23,230
Betty, will you marry me?
11
00:00:23,231 --> 00:00:25,149
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.:
We heard you was looking for us.
12
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:26,567
Well, here we are.
13
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:28,944
We achieved what
everyone thought impossible,
14
00:00:28,945 --> 00:00:32,740
but what I think will be best
if you go to Atlanta.
15
00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:35,076
Now it's time to
take on the world.
16
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:55,138
Yeah.
You can see that, right?
17
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:15,074
Yes.
18
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,576
How you doing?
19
00:01:21,498 --> 00:01:23,582
Thank you all for coming.
20
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:24,917
There you are.
21
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:26,961
Thank you for coming.
22
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,307
Well.
23
00:01:43,686 --> 00:01:45,187
You doing okay, Doc?
24
00:01:45,188 --> 00:01:47,523
I can shut this down
if you want.
25
00:01:47,524 --> 00:01:49,733
I'm, I'm okay.
26
00:01:49,734 --> 00:01:51,569
A few more won't hurt.
27
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:58,660
Come on over.
28
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:03,205
Are you Martin Luther King?
29
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:05,290
That's what they call me.
30
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:09,295
Have you been conspiring
with the Communist party?
31
00:02:10,922 --> 00:02:12,799
I'm sorry?
32
00:02:16,094 --> 00:02:18,096
You ruined my life!
33
00:02:20,265 --> 00:02:26,020
Martin Luther King and
the NAACP are no good!
34
00:02:36,614 --> 00:02:37,614
We should take it out.
35
00:02:37,615 --> 00:02:38,782
No, no!
Don't touch it!
36
00:02:38,783 --> 00:02:41,493
If we take it out,
we'll kill him.
37
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:44,372
Everything's gonna be all right.
38
00:02:45,957 --> 00:02:48,710
Martin, stay with me, brother.
39
00:03:06,978 --> 00:03:08,312
Is that Martin I hear?
40
00:03:08,313 --> 00:03:09,605
Ha ha!
41
00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:11,440
Yes, it is.
42
00:03:11,441 --> 00:03:14,359
Good morning, man.
43
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,444
Good morning.
44
00:03:15,445 --> 00:03:16,737
Good morning.
45
00:03:16,738 --> 00:03:18,072
Ready to brush your teeth?
46
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:34,129
Alright.
47
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:35,422
Nice.
48
00:03:35,423 --> 00:03:37,424
Mmmmmm!
49
00:03:37,425 --> 00:03:41,428
See now,
that's how bad habits start.
50
00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:44,139
Let me get my son, come on.
51
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:46,934
Here we go.
52
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:50,480
Go play over here
with your toys.
53
00:03:56,194 --> 00:03:59,613
First day back
at work. You nervous?
54
00:03:59,614 --> 00:04:02,449
You know, as much time
as Ralph, Stanley and Rustin
55
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:03,992
spent here in
the last few months,
56
00:04:03,993 --> 00:04:06,037
it feels like
I already been back.
57
00:04:07,872 --> 00:04:10,499
Well, the kids
are gonna miss you.
58
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:12,542
It's been nice having you home
these past months.
59
00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:16,214
Yeah? Maybe I should
get stabbed more often.
60
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:20,509
Sorry, bad joke.
61
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:21,593
Getting that phone call
62
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:23,929
was the worst day of my life,
Martin.
63
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:25,973
If that deranged woman's blade
64
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:28,350
had been a millimeter
to the left,
65
00:04:28,351 --> 00:04:29,685
or if you had even sneezed...
66
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:32,479
But it wasn't.
And I didn't.
67
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,107
And I'm okay.
68
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:36,275
You promise?
69
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:38,068
Yes.
70
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:40,237
But if you need me to do
a little something-something
71
00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:42,490
to prove it to you, I can.
72
00:04:46,077 --> 00:04:48,495
Boy, stop,
that's how we just got
73
00:04:48,496 --> 00:04:50,163
that mini you over there.
74
00:04:50,164 --> 00:04:53,292
Yeah, well, the next
one will be a mini you, then.
75
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:55,836
And if not that one,
then the one after that,
76
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:57,088
or the one after that.
77
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:02,426
And when I'm raising
this little castle of Kings...
78
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:03,802
- Yes.
- Where will you be?
79
00:05:03,803 --> 00:05:05,262
Well, I'm gonna be
at the French Riviera
80
00:05:05,263 --> 00:05:06,555
with Dorothy Dandridge,
81
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:08,641
but we'll be sure to send you
a postcard or two.
82
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:16,565
Well, Ralph mentioned
you're still low on SCLC staff.
83
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:19,860
And I'd love to fill in
wherever needed.
84
00:05:19,861 --> 00:05:21,903
I can take a break
from unpacking
85
00:05:21,904 --> 00:05:23,864
and the kids can go
to your parents'.
86
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,407
Yeah. Well, I don't
want you to be worried
87
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:27,075
about getting caught up.
88
00:05:27,076 --> 00:05:29,328
Besides, I'll be home by
the time you have dinner ready,
89
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:31,372
and I'll help you unpack.
90
00:05:34,208 --> 00:05:36,085
Sure thing.
91
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,757
By the way, Sepia Magazine
reached out again to reschedule
92
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:45,510
their cover shoot they wanted us
to do a few months back.
93
00:05:45,511 --> 00:05:50,223
If you're still up for it, I
could call them with new times.
94
00:05:50,224 --> 00:05:52,851
Sure. Let me just
check my work schedule,
95
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:54,896
and I'll let you know.
96
00:05:56,564 --> 00:05:58,649
- Alright.
- Alright.
97
00:06:32,016 --> 00:06:33,934
Minister, did you
meet with foreign dignitaries
98
00:06:33,935 --> 00:06:35,018
during your travels?
99
00:06:35,019 --> 00:06:36,228
What diplomatic efforts
100
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:38,563
is the Black Muslim movement
creating abroad?
101
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:41,274
I express gratitude
to the people of Africa
102
00:06:41,275 --> 00:06:42,776
and the Middle East
103
00:06:42,777 --> 00:06:46,696
for providing extraordinary
hospitality during my travels.
104
00:06:46,697 --> 00:06:48,198
My time was transformative
to say the least.
105
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:49,658
Minister, what are your thoughts
106
00:06:49,659 --> 00:06:52,536
on the stabbing of Dr. King,
the leader of Black America?
107
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,371
I wish no harm on anyone.
108
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:56,331
I hope the best for the Doctor,
109
00:06:56,332 --> 00:06:59,501
but it's only an indication
of where our country is going
110
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:03,588
and how it will affect
our so-called leaders.
111
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:05,841
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I see my wife.
112
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:09,428
Minister, are you
gonna reach out to Dr. King?
113
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:13,348
Get back.
Get back, please.
114
00:07:13,349 --> 00:07:14,766
Alright, folks, that's it.
115
00:07:14,767 --> 00:07:17,727
I've missed you so much.
116
00:07:17,728 --> 00:07:21,148
I missed you more.
117
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:24,901
You look beautiful.
118
00:07:24,902 --> 00:07:27,195
How are you and our little one
holding up?
119
00:07:27,196 --> 00:07:32,075
Besides my feet
swelling up, we're fine.
120
00:07:32,076 --> 00:07:33,452
Grant's been nice enough
121
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:38,248
to take us to and from
our doctor's appointments.
122
00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:39,917
So your boats are swelling.
123
00:07:41,252 --> 00:07:43,295
I can fix that.
124
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:46,339
Really? How?
125
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:48,468
You know I have hands of magic.
126
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:53,972
Okay, Houdini.
127
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:56,475
But first you need to eat,
128
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:59,936
and when we get home, I want to
hear everything about your trip.
129
00:07:59,937 --> 00:08:02,063
You'll hear
everything, but right now,
130
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:04,691
someone is waiting for me
at the temple.
131
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:06,359
Grant's going to drop you home
132
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,236
and then take me
straight to the office.
133
00:08:08,237 --> 00:08:10,989
It shouldn't take me too long.
134
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:12,657
You just got off
a 12-hour flight
135
00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:15,911
and you've already
scheduled something?
136
00:08:15,912 --> 00:08:17,704
What about our time?
137
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:20,624
Our time is plentiful, okay?
138
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,334
But this needs to be addressed.
139
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:26,421
Once done, I'll be home
and it'll just be about us.
140
00:08:26,422 --> 00:08:30,051
Now do you want to feel
these hands of magic?
141
00:08:44,106 --> 00:08:45,482
And so the SCLC, in partnership
142
00:08:45,483 --> 00:08:48,276
with AFL-CIO Vice President
A. Philip Randolph,
143
00:08:48,277 --> 00:08:50,362
are announcing a massive
nonviolent picketing
144
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:53,365
of the upcoming Democratic and
Republican National Conventions.
145
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:55,784
The recently passed
Civil Rights Act of 1960
146
00:08:55,785 --> 00:08:57,994
does not meet
our repeated demands
147
00:08:57,995 --> 00:08:59,704
of abolishing
second-class citizenship
148
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:01,039
for Black people
in this country.
149
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,999
Blah, blah, blah, blah,
and then you wrap up with,
150
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,168
stronger legislative measures
are needed,
151
00:09:05,169 --> 00:09:07,254
and these protests
will bring our demands
152
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:10,715
to the doorsteps
of both parties.
153
00:09:10,716 --> 00:09:12,217
And now you applaud.
154
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:13,552
Thank you.
155
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,053
Bravo. Bravo.
156
00:09:15,054 --> 00:09:16,179
Alright, let's change
157
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:18,056
"does not meet
our repeated demands"
158
00:09:18,057 --> 00:09:20,183
to "does not meet our needs."
159
00:09:20,184 --> 00:09:21,726
We don't want our allies
feeling like
160
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:23,728
we've got a gun to their heads.
161
00:09:23,729 --> 00:09:26,189
Stanley, what do you think?
162
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:28,066
You'll ruffle feathers,
163
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:31,529
but it's nothing we shouldn't
be able to handle.
164
00:09:35,324 --> 00:09:38,868
Ms. Baker,
what do you think?
165
00:09:38,869 --> 00:09:44,667
Well, I really
liked the blah, blah, blah part.
166
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:49,379
Changing laws and bills
is necessary,
167
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:51,047
but in my extensive experience,
168
00:09:51,048 --> 00:09:55,051
the only way real change is made
is at the grassroots level,
169
00:09:55,052 --> 00:09:59,222
not standing at
a podium or pulpit.
170
00:09:59,223 --> 00:10:01,766
Four Black students from
Greensboro, North Carolina,
171
00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:04,894
staged a nonviolent sit-in
at a Woolworth's
172
00:10:04,895 --> 00:10:09,441
and successfully desegregated
their lunch counter.
173
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:14,362
This is the kind of actual
direct, nonviolent action
174
00:10:14,363 --> 00:10:16,698
we need to support!
175
00:10:16,699 --> 00:10:17,782
It's only a matter of time
176
00:10:17,783 --> 00:10:19,492
before this reaches Atlanta?
177
00:10:19,493 --> 00:10:21,244
It already has.
178
00:10:21,245 --> 00:10:24,414
Students from Black colleges
in town have reached out to me.
179
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:26,958
They're calling a meeting
to establish contacts
180
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:28,710
between the universities,
181
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:33,966
and they want to know,
Martin, will you be there?
182
00:10:40,681 --> 00:10:42,265
Are we sure associating them
183
00:10:42,266 --> 00:10:44,726
with the movement
at this unpredictable stage
184
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:46,603
is a good idea?
185
00:10:46,604 --> 00:10:49,022
It's important that the SCLC
be seen as credible,
186
00:10:49,023 --> 00:10:51,650
especially in the eyes
of Washington,
187
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:54,110
if we hope to champion
legislation through.
188
00:10:54,111 --> 00:10:59,200
Important for
the SCLC... or you?
189
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,371
Set the meeting
with the students.
190
00:11:04,372 --> 00:11:06,915
In the meantime, Bayard, go
ahead and release the statement
191
00:11:06,916 --> 00:11:09,669
and start coordinating
the convention protests.
192
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:14,048
That's all, everyone.
193
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:23,056
So, what am I looking at?
194
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:25,517
American propaganda
would have us believe
195
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:30,021
that our brothers and sisters
in Africa are barbaric savages
196
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:34,025
living in huts in the jungle.
197
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:36,569
But on my travels,
I didn't see any jungle,
198
00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:38,947
and I didn't see
any mud huts either.
199
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:42,117
We are beautiful,
intelligent and powerful.
200
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:44,661
But the devil doesn't
want you to see that,
201
00:11:44,662 --> 00:11:48,164
because once you do,
the lie cannot hold.
202
00:11:48,165 --> 00:11:49,582
So what's your point, Minister?
203
00:11:49,583 --> 00:11:53,086
Truth.
The truth of who we are.
204
00:11:53,087 --> 00:11:55,839
One of the truths my father
told me as a young man
205
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,257
that always stuck with me
206
00:11:57,258 --> 00:12:02,178
is that if they won't
give us some land here,
207
00:12:02,179 --> 00:12:06,015
then we can go back home.
208
00:12:06,016 --> 00:12:07,684
That's quite incendiary,
Minister.
209
00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:09,102
To you, maybe.
210
00:12:09,103 --> 00:12:11,688
And I believe it won't be
to our brothers and sisters
211
00:12:11,689 --> 00:12:16,401
in this nation if they simply
are exposed to it.
212
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:18,528
Well, I've been following
the Muslim movement
213
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:21,072
for a few months,
and if nothing more,
214
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,991
it could be worth
writing up a story.
215
00:12:22,992 --> 00:12:24,784
And I've been
following you for some time,
216
00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:27,829
Brother Lomax.
217
00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:30,707
You're a fine journalist,
so, while appreciated,
218
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:33,126
I have ideas of something
bigger than a writeup.
219
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:35,086
I've been making small movies
of my travels
220
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,672
and screening them at
the temples where I lecture.
221
00:12:37,673 --> 00:12:40,216
I see how the images move folks.
222
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:45,597
A film on television that
could help many lost souls.
223
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:47,849
So far, there's only been
one narrative
224
00:12:47,850 --> 00:12:50,810
the so-called Negro
in this country has heard,
225
00:12:50,811 --> 00:12:54,522
laid out by Uncle Tom
leaders in the South.
226
00:12:54,523 --> 00:12:58,401
I want to offer another one.
227
00:12:58,402 --> 00:13:00,111
The true one.
228
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:03,323
And what's that?
229
00:13:03,324 --> 00:13:05,784
True freedom.
230
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:09,954
Freedom rooted in pride
and dignity within self.
231
00:13:09,955 --> 00:13:13,042
It rests in each
one of our souls.
232
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:16,211
You know, if there's
any credit to give
233
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:21,633
those Southern preachers,
it's the way they use the press.
234
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:24,552
And besides, if I'm being frank,
235
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:29,599
getting this piece will be the
biggest thing for you to date.
236
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,726
Alright. Alright.
237
00:13:31,727 --> 00:13:35,104
Don't ever let anyone tell you
you aren't a great salesman.
238
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:38,775
I've been doing some work with
this news anchor, Mike Wallace.
239
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:40,735
He's been looking
for a good story.
240
00:13:40,736 --> 00:13:44,823
But he isn't gonna be interested
unless I have full access
241
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:48,076
to your temples and organization
242
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:51,538
and your leader,
Elijah Muhammad.
243
00:13:51,539 --> 00:13:54,875
Without him, this doesn't work.
244
00:13:56,794 --> 00:13:58,337
I'll make it happen.
245
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:11,349
You okay, Dr. King?
246
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:12,976
I'm fine. Thank you.
247
00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:15,186
Is that pecan pie I smell?
248
00:14:15,187 --> 00:14:17,814
Indeed it is,
though, none of it is for you.
249
00:14:17,815 --> 00:14:18,982
Why not?
250
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:20,400
Miss Juanita
came round yesterday
251
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:22,902
and said you are on a no-sweets
diet until further notice.
252
00:14:22,903 --> 00:14:24,404
Well, she ain't the boss of me.
253
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:27,156
And I'd be careful, Martin,
you ain't no Greek god yourself.
254
00:14:27,157 --> 00:14:30,119
I think you look
just fine, Dr. King.
255
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:34,622
Thank you, Dorothy.
256
00:14:34,623 --> 00:14:36,709
Have a good evening.
257
00:14:43,424 --> 00:14:46,593
What is it?
258
00:14:46,594 --> 00:14:48,553
"Democratic
Congressman Adam Clayton Powell
259
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,722
denounces the upcoming
convention protests
260
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:53,433
by fellow Negro Reverend King
261
00:14:53,434 --> 00:14:55,977
and claims King is being
manipulated behind the scenes
262
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:57,729
by Bayard Rustin."
263
00:14:57,730 --> 00:15:00,773
Tell me why the hell
is Powell doing this?
264
00:15:00,774 --> 00:15:02,317
He's supposed to be
one of our biggest allies.
265
00:15:02,318 --> 00:15:03,860
Why is he saying all this?
266
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:06,112
You know Powell,
he's always playing an angle.
267
00:15:06,113 --> 00:15:08,406
Whatever he's up to,
clearly taking you down
268
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:10,325
will make him look good
to someone.
269
00:15:10,326 --> 00:15:14,537
Yes. Well, I don't
have time to engage in all this.
270
00:15:14,538 --> 00:15:18,249
I'm gonna write him a telegram
demanding a retraction.
271
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,752
Hey.
272
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:22,629
You doing okay?
273
00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:25,341
You seemed a bit off all day.
274
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:28,885
Martin.
275
00:15:28,886 --> 00:15:31,512
I'm fine.
276
00:15:31,513 --> 00:15:35,225
Everybody just needs
to stop checking on me.
277
00:15:42,691 --> 00:15:45,527
Think I'm gonna head on home.
278
00:15:47,529 --> 00:15:49,865
I'll see you in the morning.
279
00:16:01,377 --> 00:16:03,462
Are you Martin Luther King?
280
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:21,772
Are you Martin Luther King?
281
00:16:24,608 --> 00:16:28,028
Have you been conspiring
with the Communist party?
282
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,449
You ruined my life!
283
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:57,182
God.
284
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:06,274
Martin?
285
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:07,734
Wait! We need to lock in a date
286
00:17:07,735 --> 00:17:10,320
for the Sepia Magazine
interview.
287
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:35,845
Martin, if you're not up for it,
I can push it off.
288
00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:37,221
It's not that big a deal.
289
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:41,351
We can wait.
Just, just give me a minute.
290
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:13,633
Hi.
291
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:16,929
Brought you your favorite.
292
00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:27,438
Look good, don't it?
293
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:30,525
Thank you.
294
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:32,528
What do you think?
295
00:18:41,036 --> 00:18:43,704
It's good.
296
00:18:43,705 --> 00:18:46,207
This part is
especially convincing:
297
00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:48,042
"The broadcast will
illuminate millions
298
00:18:48,043 --> 00:18:51,003
of lost so-called Negroes
to your message.
299
00:18:51,004 --> 00:18:55,758
The dead will rise
across America."
300
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:57,301
Who is it for?
301
00:18:57,302 --> 00:19:00,305
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
302
00:19:04,017 --> 00:19:05,309
What?
303
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:06,561
Nothing.
304
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:10,356
It's just a big ask.
305
00:19:10,357 --> 00:19:13,402
I hope he receives it
with warm ears.
306
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:22,910
You know, Malcolm,
this child is due any day.
307
00:19:22,911 --> 00:19:27,039
We really need to consider
a new home.
308
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,543
The house is fine.
309
00:19:30,544 --> 00:19:32,086
It just needs
a fresh coat of paint.
310
00:19:32,087 --> 00:19:33,171
The floorboards are coming up,
311
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,631
and the plumbing seldom works.
312
00:19:35,632 --> 00:19:37,175
It needs more than a paint job.
313
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:40,761
And I would like you home to
make sure it happens correctly.
314
00:19:40,762 --> 00:19:43,639
That home was gifted
to us through donations
315
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,016
from our followers.
316
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:46,726
We can hire someone
to fix the issues,
317
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:48,770
but there is no necessity
to relocate.
318
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:52,940
You okay?
319
00:19:52,941 --> 00:19:56,361
The baby, it's, it kicked.
320
00:19:57,863 --> 00:20:00,532
Active, right?
321
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:04,869
Just like they mama.
322
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:10,875
Listen, baby, I understand
this is all moving so fast.
323
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:13,920
I do.
324
00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:18,884
But it's moving in the direction
we both wanted, right?
325
00:20:20,844 --> 00:20:22,136
Yes.
326
00:20:22,137 --> 00:20:24,722
Alright, then.
327
00:20:24,723 --> 00:20:28,768
So, let's keep walking
our journey together
328
00:20:28,769 --> 00:20:32,064
and keep adding to it, okay?
329
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:41,322
I'm inviting the Messenger
to dinner
330
00:20:41,323 --> 00:20:43,824
on his next visit to Harlem.
331
00:20:43,825 --> 00:20:45,159
Can you work with some MGTs
332
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,454
to ensure the meal
is to his liking?
333
00:20:48,455 --> 00:20:51,208
Yes. No problem.
334
00:21:24,616 --> 00:21:26,826
You are right on time.
335
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:27,910
Are you ready?
336
00:21:27,911 --> 00:21:29,746
Yes.
337
00:22:34,561 --> 00:22:37,230
It's all thanks to
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
338
00:22:48,283 --> 00:22:50,035
Absolutely.
339
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:54,747
What's all this?
340
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:58,042
This is
Mr. Louis Lomax.
341
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:01,879
He's a journalist doing a piece
on the Nation for television.
342
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,257
Television?
343
00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:08,010
Minister, has the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad approved this?
344
00:23:08,011 --> 00:23:09,887
I'm in the process
of securing his approval
345
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,347
any moment now.
346
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,057
Minister, you haven't
received approval yet?
347
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:17,062
Like I said, in the process.
348
00:23:20,273 --> 00:23:25,611
I actually, I think
we've gotten enough for today.
349
00:23:25,612 --> 00:23:28,823
I'll be in touch with you later.
350
00:23:28,824 --> 00:23:30,575
Thank you.
351
00:23:41,878 --> 00:23:43,422
Listen.
352
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:50,094
I understand your passion,
Brother.
353
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,804
But I've been in this
longer than you.
354
00:23:51,805 --> 00:23:54,682
I remember the old heads telling
me about Detroit in the '30s,
355
00:23:54,683 --> 00:23:57,768
when our teachings went out
to the larger world.
356
00:23:57,769 --> 00:23:58,978
It almost destroyed us.
357
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:00,354
We came back stronger,
358
00:24:00,355 --> 00:24:03,107
and this time, the Nation
is controlling the story.
359
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:05,818
You have faith that the
TV devils will do right by us?
360
00:24:05,819 --> 00:24:08,028
Of course not,
but I have faith that our Nation
361
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:11,157
and its message is
incorruptible, undeniable.
362
00:24:11,158 --> 00:24:13,701
We can't allow fear
to prevent us
363
00:24:13,702 --> 00:24:15,411
from reaching those who need it.
364
00:24:15,412 --> 00:24:17,246
Those who seek faith
shall find it.
365
00:24:17,247 --> 00:24:18,456
How are they going to find it
366
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:20,374
if they don't know
where to look?
367
00:24:20,375 --> 00:24:24,378
How are they going to know it
if we don't tell them?
368
00:24:24,379 --> 00:24:28,174
I believe once the Messenger
sees what this can be,
369
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:30,426
he will agree to it.
370
00:24:30,427 --> 00:24:31,802
Well, you're gonna
get your chance
371
00:24:31,803 --> 00:24:34,972
sooner than you think.
372
00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:37,600
He just arrived in Harlem today,
373
00:24:37,601 --> 00:24:41,771
and he'll be joining you
at your home this evening.
374
00:24:53,116 --> 00:24:56,619
Your daddy
needs to come fix this house,
375
00:24:56,620 --> 00:24:59,372
or I will lose it.
376
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:03,793
What do you say?
377
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:08,255
No response.
378
00:25:08,256 --> 00:25:11,218
Just like your father.
379
00:25:23,772 --> 00:25:24,897
Ella Mae.
380
00:25:24,898 --> 00:25:27,942
The Honorable
Elijah Muhammad is here
381
00:25:27,943 --> 00:25:29,610
earlier than expected.
382
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:31,737
We need to prepare the dinner
for tonight.
383
00:25:31,738 --> 00:25:33,572
Tonight?
384
00:25:33,573 --> 00:25:35,282
But the house is a wreck.
385
00:25:35,283 --> 00:25:38,203
I can't host under
these conditions.
386
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,803
Thank you for helping me.
387
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:59,683
I'm not here to help
you; I'm here to help Malcolm.
388
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:15,698
Our fight is not
against the White man,
389
00:26:15,699 --> 00:26:18,450
but against the corrupt system
he built.
390
00:26:18,451 --> 00:26:20,662
- Yeah, that's right.
- Yeah.
391
00:26:22,956 --> 00:26:25,791
A system our fathers
and our fathers' fathers
392
00:26:25,792 --> 00:26:27,293
were unable to destroy.
393
00:26:27,294 --> 00:26:30,045
Yeah.
394
00:26:30,046 --> 00:26:33,173
Well, I say let's take
a battering ram to that system
395
00:26:33,174 --> 00:26:35,426
one segregated lunch counter
at a time!
396
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:37,178
Yeah!
397
00:26:41,850 --> 00:26:43,143
Alright.
398
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:47,688
Mr. Julian Bond,
seeing leaders like you
399
00:26:47,689 --> 00:26:50,065
gives us hope for the future.
400
00:26:50,066 --> 00:26:51,317
We appreciate that, Reverend.
401
00:26:51,318 --> 00:26:53,027
Ms. Baker's taught us
that strong people
402
00:26:53,028 --> 00:26:54,695
don't need strong leaders.
403
00:26:54,696 --> 00:26:57,114
She also helped us come up
with a name for ourselves:
404
00:26:57,115 --> 00:26:59,742
the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee.
405
00:26:59,743 --> 00:27:06,206
The SNCC. "Snicc."
It has a nice ring to it.
406
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:08,334
But I want you to know that
you have the full support
407
00:27:08,335 --> 00:27:11,629
of the SCLC with you
in your struggle.
408
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:13,881
Thank you, Dr. King.
409
00:27:13,882 --> 00:27:16,800
We actually wanted to ask
410
00:27:16,801 --> 00:27:18,761
if you would join us in
our first scheduled sit-in
411
00:27:18,762 --> 00:27:20,054
at Rich's Department Store?
412
00:27:20,055 --> 00:27:21,138
Well, I don't know.
413
00:27:21,139 --> 00:27:22,723
You managed to do so well
without us,
414
00:27:22,724 --> 00:27:24,099
I would hate to be in the way.
415
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:26,518
I'm sure Martin
understands just how important
416
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:31,106
seeing him in action
would be to you all.
417
00:27:31,107 --> 00:27:33,400
It's something
we'll definitely consider.
418
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:36,487
Meantime, why don't you
show me where you train
419
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:40,116
your fellow students
on nonviolent practices?
420
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:50,000
You knew
they were gonna ask that,
421
00:27:50,001 --> 00:27:51,335
and you didn't say anything.
422
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:55,214
Damn right I did.
423
00:27:55,215 --> 00:27:58,050
These kids are risking their
lives on the front lines
424
00:27:58,051 --> 00:28:00,177
while you're entertaining
the bourgeois club
425
00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:01,512
and the good ol' boys.
426
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:03,847
You've lost sense
of the struggle!
427
00:28:03,848 --> 00:28:07,643
It's a strategy and
a necessary legislative one.
428
00:28:07,644 --> 00:28:09,937
Whether we like it or not,
the road to real equality
429
00:28:09,938 --> 00:28:12,272
in this country runs through DC.
430
00:28:12,273 --> 00:28:13,899
And I haven't lost sight
of anything.
431
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:16,485
Yes. You have.
432
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:18,696
Because the people
you need to connect with
433
00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:23,534
aren't on Pennsylvania Avenue,
they're in that room.
434
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:27,913
Right now, you are the voice
of the Civil Rights Movement
435
00:28:27,914 --> 00:28:32,084
to them, but you can't lead
from the sidelines.
436
00:28:32,085 --> 00:28:37,006
Soon, they'll find
another voice to lead them.
437
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:41,677
Not everyone has
the luxury of being reckless
438
00:28:41,678 --> 00:28:43,178
like you, Ms. Baker.
439
00:28:43,179 --> 00:28:45,806
Why are you so afraid of
being confrontational, Martin?
440
00:28:45,807 --> 00:28:49,393
Don't tell me anything
about being confrontational!
441
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:51,896
I was attacked!
442
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:06,034
While we all appreciate
your work
443
00:29:06,035 --> 00:29:09,371
as our interim
executive director,
444
00:29:09,372 --> 00:29:10,914
the board has been asking me
445
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:15,711
about finding
a more permanent solution.
446
00:29:15,712 --> 00:29:20,132
I think it's time
we do just that.
447
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:21,843
Yes.
448
00:29:27,307 --> 00:29:29,225
I think it is.
449
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,701
Sister Betty,
this meal is delightful.
450
00:29:47,702 --> 00:29:50,954
I trust my early arrival didn't
cause you too much hassle?
451
00:29:50,955 --> 00:29:52,456
No, sir.
452
00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:56,043
It's always a pleasure
to have you fellowship with us.
453
00:29:56,044 --> 00:29:58,420
Don't tell Sister Grace this,
454
00:29:58,421 --> 00:30:01,965
I know how proud she's of hers,
but your bean soup is perfect.
455
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:03,425
Please.
456
00:30:03,426 --> 00:30:05,636
Sister Grace taught me
everything I know.
457
00:30:05,637 --> 00:30:07,554
It is so beautiful
to bear witness
458
00:30:07,555 --> 00:30:10,140
the beginning of your journey.
459
00:30:10,141 --> 00:30:12,518
By virtue of Allah,
you are blessed,
460
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,312
to bring new life
into this world.
461
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:18,106
The Black woman is the mother
of civilization.
462
00:30:18,107 --> 00:30:21,735
May Allah bless your fruits.
463
00:30:21,736 --> 00:30:23,738
Thank you, sir.
464
00:30:25,573 --> 00:30:29,868
I, um, I must admit,
it's been challenging for me
465
00:30:29,869 --> 00:30:33,080
to navigate this new path.
466
00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:36,250
We are so grateful for our home.
467
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:40,087
However, with the conditions
we're under,
468
00:30:40,088 --> 00:30:42,506
bringing a child
into this environment,
469
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,467
it will be difficult
to maintain.
470
00:30:45,468 --> 00:30:47,970
I think what Betty
is trying to say
471
00:30:47,971 --> 00:30:50,848
is that we still have
some nesting to do
472
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:52,599
before the baby arrives.
473
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,892
No.
474
00:30:53,893 --> 00:30:57,354
What I'm saying is
just as it is important
475
00:30:57,355 --> 00:30:59,481
we represent Allah
inside the temple,
476
00:30:59,482 --> 00:31:03,819
it is equally important we
represent Allah inside our home,
477
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,363
which means ensuring
the best temple for worship
478
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:11,243
and the best home
for growing a family.
479
00:31:11,244 --> 00:31:13,829
Wouldn't you agree,
Your Honorable One?
480
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:18,418
Betty, could you and
Ella Mae please prepare the tea?
481
00:31:39,147 --> 00:31:41,064
Why would you think
running off at the mouth
482
00:31:41,065 --> 00:31:43,400
to the Messenger
was the solution?
483
00:31:43,401 --> 00:31:45,485
Malcolm is so
thick-headed about this house.
484
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:46,737
Everything's breaking.
485
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:48,614
You must understand your role.
486
00:31:48,615 --> 00:31:51,700
Creating conflict for your
husband will serve you no good.
487
00:31:51,701 --> 00:31:54,578
Focus on that baby and keeping
this house presentable
488
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:55,871
at the very least.
489
00:31:55,872 --> 00:31:57,497
How can I possibly
maintain a proper home
490
00:31:57,498 --> 00:31:59,207
when everything's falling apart?
491
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:02,628
You have no idea
what he's up against.
492
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,297
He's under immense pressure
to make this film a success.
493
00:32:05,298 --> 00:32:07,466
It'd serve you better
if you were less needy.
494
00:32:07,467 --> 00:32:08,717
So what am I supposed to do?
495
00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:11,219
Stand here and not stand up
for my family?
496
00:32:11,220 --> 00:32:13,722
What he doesn't understand
is what I'm up against.
497
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:16,433
And why am I in the wrong
for saying what I believe?
498
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:18,727
Your job is to support Malcolm,
499
00:32:18,728 --> 00:32:20,479
not to focus on yourself.
500
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,150
Do that first, and everything
else will work itself out.
501
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,617
Brother Malcolm,
from your letter,
502
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:36,244
it sounded like you wanted
to propose a project to me,
503
00:32:36,245 --> 00:32:39,289
but after talking
to Brother Clyde,
504
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,875
it appears you already started.
505
00:32:41,876 --> 00:32:46,254
Sir, I know you're
not pleased with my enthusiasm,
506
00:32:46,255 --> 00:32:47,881
but I would at least
like to show you
507
00:32:47,882 --> 00:32:50,593
the work that we've captured.
508
00:32:54,931 --> 00:33:00,310
Sir, this is your kingdom.
509
00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:02,980
Black men and women
who were lost,
510
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:06,483
but by the power of your divine
teaching, by the grace of Allah,
511
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:09,653
they have been saved,
like I have been saved.
512
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:11,321
And there can be more of it.
513
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:14,533
This broadcast will bring our
message to a national audience,
514
00:33:14,534 --> 00:33:16,410
and we can dramatically
increase followers
515
00:33:16,411 --> 00:33:18,328
and build more temples.
516
00:33:18,329 --> 00:33:19,538
Minister, I must admit,
517
00:33:19,539 --> 00:33:21,915
these images are quite powerful.
518
00:33:21,916 --> 00:33:24,251
Sir, while I think
Minister Malcolm
519
00:33:24,252 --> 00:33:25,836
has a compelling idea,
520
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:27,671
I fear the Minister is
stretching himself thin.
521
00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:28,964
Thank you for
your concern, Brother,
522
00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:30,424
but I can do it.
523
00:33:30,425 --> 00:33:33,593
I am a national spokesman
and used to a packed schedule.
524
00:33:33,594 --> 00:33:35,762
I beg you, sir,
to please consider
525
00:33:35,763 --> 00:33:40,225
the repercussions of allowing
our doctrine onto the airwaves.
526
00:33:40,226 --> 00:33:42,310
Exposing our protocols
could lead to wicked spirits
527
00:33:42,311 --> 00:33:43,854
entering our temples.
528
00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:48,025
You won't be able to control
how the film is edited.
529
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:50,444
Do you trust this
brother you had in your office?
530
00:33:50,445 --> 00:33:52,487
Sir, as much as one
can trust a person
531
00:33:52,488 --> 00:33:54,406
who is not a believer in Allah.
532
00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:56,742
A lie don't care who tells it.
533
00:33:56,743 --> 00:33:59,286
All this gallivanting he's doing
will not benefit the Nation
534
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:00,495
if the only thing
that comes from it
535
00:34:00,496 --> 00:34:02,414
is we get ambushed
by the police again.
536
00:34:02,415 --> 00:34:04,082
Sir, while Clyde is right
537
00:34:04,083 --> 00:34:07,002
there will be a subtle backlash,
538
00:34:07,003 --> 00:34:09,964
the benefits are far greater
than the risks.
539
00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:21,516
I will permit it.
540
00:34:21,517 --> 00:34:24,811
But I caution not to fall
for any tricknology.
541
00:34:24,812 --> 00:34:26,313
If this reporter betrays us,
542
00:34:26,314 --> 00:34:29,484
there will be
grave consequences.
543
00:34:32,987 --> 00:34:34,781
Thank you.
544
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:38,992
Sister Betty,
545
00:34:38,993 --> 00:34:41,620
thank you
for this wonderful meal.
546
00:34:41,621 --> 00:34:44,706
And I hope this will help
with any issues
547
00:34:44,707 --> 00:34:47,502
you're having nesting.
548
00:34:57,178 --> 00:34:59,054
And when's the baby due?
549
00:34:59,055 --> 00:35:02,475
Any day now.
550
00:35:05,895 --> 00:35:07,730
Inshallah.
551
00:35:29,001 --> 00:35:30,377
I was going over the plans
552
00:35:30,378 --> 00:35:34,548
for the convention protest,
and I think they're really good,
553
00:35:34,549 --> 00:35:37,509
but what do you think about
initiating the protests
554
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:42,931
the night before
to build more of a groundswell?
555
00:35:42,932 --> 00:35:45,768
Yeah, I don't know.
556
00:35:49,188 --> 00:35:50,814
Everything okay?
557
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:52,524
I already told you I'm fine.
558
00:35:52,525 --> 00:35:53,859
You don't look fine.
559
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:56,529
I said I'm fine!
560
00:36:14,547 --> 00:36:15,881
Come on in, welcome.
561
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:17,465
Hello!
Welcome to our home.
562
00:36:17,466 --> 00:36:19,259
Come in, come in.
563
00:36:19,260 --> 00:36:22,722
Hi. Hello, hello. Hi.
564
00:36:24,056 --> 00:36:26,475
I'll get the kids.
565
00:36:31,397 --> 00:36:32,898
While my call to ministry
566
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:36,151
is through the desire
to serve God and humanity,
567
00:36:36,152 --> 00:36:39,529
unyielding faith guides us
through any quarrels.
568
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:44,201
Well, my role as
a wife has been an adjustment.
569
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:47,370
And then I had to adjust
to being a minister's wife,
570
00:36:47,371 --> 00:36:50,583
which is quite the task.
571
00:36:53,085 --> 00:36:56,546
Many confuse passive
resistance with non-resistance.
572
00:36:56,547 --> 00:36:58,965
Fundamentally, it's weak
to lay guns in the hands
573
00:36:58,966 --> 00:37:03,053
of desperate men when there's
more power in mobilizing.
574
00:37:03,054 --> 00:37:07,015
We must all strive to be
ambassadors of human dignity.
575
00:37:07,016 --> 00:37:13,313
As I've personally experienced
attacks on my life,
576
00:37:13,314 --> 00:37:16,524
I can attest to God's
divine intervention.
577
00:37:16,525 --> 00:37:20,946
Martin has transformed
into quite the celebrity.
578
00:37:20,947 --> 00:37:24,908
And while I'm very proud of him,
there isn't a second
579
00:37:24,909 --> 00:37:27,912
that I'm not thinking
of a way to protect him.
580
00:37:36,128 --> 00:37:38,046
So, what was so important
581
00:37:38,047 --> 00:37:40,173
that you needed me to come now?
582
00:37:40,174 --> 00:37:44,136
I'm off to Los Angeles tomorrow
for the Democratic Convention.
583
00:37:46,222 --> 00:37:48,557
Well, um...
584
00:37:51,394 --> 00:37:55,272
You need to cancel
the convention protests.
585
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,065
What?
586
00:37:57,066 --> 00:37:59,110
Why?
587
00:38:18,754 --> 00:38:21,589
This some kind of joke?
588
00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:24,718
No.
589
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,470
Congressman Powell says if
I don't cancel the protests
590
00:38:27,471 --> 00:38:30,682
and sever ties with you,
he's gonna go to the press
591
00:38:30,683 --> 00:38:34,477
saying that he has evidence
that we are sleeping together.
592
00:38:34,478 --> 00:38:36,313
Well, we know damn well
he doesn't,
593
00:38:36,314 --> 00:38:39,190
because it's completely untrue.
594
00:38:39,191 --> 00:38:43,654
Besides the fact that I am
totally out of your league.
595
00:38:47,116 --> 00:38:49,951
Do you know why he's doing this?
596
00:38:49,952 --> 00:38:53,371
Power.
Influence within the party.
597
00:38:53,372 --> 00:38:54,873
I don't know,
and it doesn't matter.
598
00:38:54,874 --> 00:38:56,374
It does matter!
599
00:38:56,375 --> 00:38:57,542
I've been dealing with
this sort of thing
600
00:38:57,543 --> 00:38:59,336
since I was six years old.
601
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:01,921
I didn't roll over then and
I'm not going to start now.
602
00:39:01,922 --> 00:39:04,924
Powell is a bully.
603
00:39:04,925 --> 00:39:07,260
And when a bully threatens you,
you don't walk away.
604
00:39:07,261 --> 00:39:09,220
You ball up your fists
and you swing
605
00:39:09,221 --> 00:39:13,391
until you can't lift
your arms anymore.
606
00:39:13,392 --> 00:39:16,936
Listen, protesting
those conventions
607
00:39:16,937 --> 00:39:19,940
is the morally correct
thing to do.
608
00:39:23,110 --> 00:39:28,656
What if, what if I resign?
609
00:39:28,657 --> 00:39:31,659
Just to get him off our backs.
610
00:39:31,660 --> 00:39:34,663
Maybe that's not a bad idea.
611
00:39:42,922 --> 00:39:44,632
Okay.
612
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:50,721
I'll have my resignation letter
to you in the morning.
613
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:10,698
You know, after everything
we've been through together,
614
00:40:10,699 --> 00:40:14,203
I never pegged you for a coward.
615
00:40:35,683 --> 00:40:36,975
Betty, I'm so sorry.
616
00:40:36,976 --> 00:40:38,351
It's fine.
617
00:40:38,352 --> 00:40:40,728
It all happened so quick.
618
00:40:40,729 --> 00:40:42,856
So the okra recipe worked?
619
00:40:42,857 --> 00:40:44,525
Yes.
620
00:40:46,235 --> 00:40:49,946
Attallah was a champion.
621
00:40:49,947 --> 00:40:52,783
Didn't give mommy any troubles.
622
00:41:10,217 --> 00:41:12,386
Beautiful.
623
00:41:14,805 --> 00:41:17,015
Let us pray.
624
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:21,311
In the name of Allah, the most
beneficent, the merciful,
625
00:41:21,312 --> 00:41:25,315
all praise due to Allah,
lord of the world.
626
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:30,403
Cover us as we embark
on this new path as parents.
627
00:41:30,404 --> 00:41:34,949
Shield our baby girl from all.
628
00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:36,409
Ameen.
629
00:41:36,410 --> 00:41:38,954
Ameen.
630
00:41:45,794 --> 00:41:47,420
Of all the medium-priced cars,
631
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,130
car for car across the board...
632
00:41:49,131 --> 00:41:50,673
Excuse me, ma'am.
633
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:53,510
Would it be possible to get some
additional blankets for my wife?
634
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:55,762
We're just across the hall
in 804.
635
00:41:55,763 --> 00:41:58,932
Of course, sir.
One moment.
636
00:41:58,933 --> 00:42:00,225
Good evening, I'm Mike Wallace.
637
00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:03,019
Tonight, the study of the rise
of Black racism,
638
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:04,562
of a call for Black supremacy
639
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:07,106
among a small
but growing segment
640
00:42:07,107 --> 00:42:08,983
of the American
Negro population.
641
00:42:08,984 --> 00:42:11,945
We'll talk about what can be
done about the rising tide
642
00:42:11,946 --> 00:42:15,281
of racism among this segment
of the Negro population.
643
00:42:15,282 --> 00:42:18,159
So now, The Hate
That Hate Produced.
644
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,745
But of even more interest
to New Yorkers is Malcolm X,
645
00:42:20,746 --> 00:42:22,747
the Muslims' New York minister.
646
00:42:22,748 --> 00:42:25,917
He is a remarkable man, a man
who, by his own admission,
647
00:42:25,918 --> 00:42:28,670
was once a procurer
and dope peddler.
648
00:42:28,671 --> 00:42:31,297
He served time for robbery
in the Michigan
649
00:42:31,298 --> 00:42:33,716
and Massachusetts
state penitentiaries,
650
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:36,678
but now he's a changed man,
he will not smoke or drink,
651
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:38,221
he will not even eat
in a restaurant
652
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:39,639
that houses a tavern.
653
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,100
He told Newsbeat that
his life changed for him
654
00:42:42,101 --> 00:42:43,434
when the Muslim faith taught him
655
00:42:43,435 --> 00:42:46,479
no longer to be ashamed
of being a Black man.
656
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,940
Reporter Louis Lomax
asked Minister Malcolm X
657
00:42:48,941 --> 00:42:53,152
to further explain the Muslim
teachings of Elijah Muhammad.
658
00:42:53,153 --> 00:42:57,574
Mr. Elijah Muhammad
also says, and I quote,
659
00:42:57,575 --> 00:43:01,995
"So-called American Negroes
are descendants of Allah."
660
00:43:01,996 --> 00:43:03,162
Yes.
661
00:43:03,163 --> 00:43:04,539
Is this your standard teaching?
662
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:06,040
Yes.
663
00:43:06,041 --> 00:43:11,212
He teaches us that the Black
man, by nature, is divine.
664
00:43:11,213 --> 00:43:14,382
Now, does that mean
that the White man is,
665
00:43:14,383 --> 00:43:16,092
by nature, evil?
666
00:43:16,093 --> 00:43:20,013
By nature,
he is other than divine.
667
00:43:20,014 --> 00:43:24,017
Well, does it mean
he is evil? Can he do good?
668
00:43:24,018 --> 00:43:27,228
Well, history is best qualified
669
00:43:27,229 --> 00:43:29,188
to reward all research,
670
00:43:29,189 --> 00:43:34,277
but historically,
we have no example of them
671
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:37,238
collectively as a people
doing good.
672
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,699
This man is
gonna get people killed.
673
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:41,951
Dr. Martin Luther King
has been a visible...
674
00:43:41,952 --> 00:43:43,870
Baptist leader in this country
675
00:43:43,871 --> 00:43:46,039
since the Montgomery
bus boycott.
676
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,584
A boycott built
on the back of a Black woman,
677
00:43:49,585 --> 00:43:51,628
Sister Rosa Parks.
678
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:54,547
And you do not agree
with his stance on nonviolence?
679
00:43:54,548 --> 00:43:56,007
No.
680
00:43:56,008 --> 00:44:01,429
It is criminal to teach a man
not to defend himself.
681
00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:05,391
Is Martin Luther King
the Uncle Tom you refer to?
682
00:44:05,392 --> 00:44:09,229
Yes, Martin Luther
King is an Uncle Tom.
683
00:44:38,092 --> 00:44:39,092
I've got hundreds of people
684
00:44:39,093 --> 00:44:40,551
stopping me on the streets,
685
00:44:40,552 --> 00:44:44,138
asking if we're preaching
hatred towards White people.
686
00:44:44,139 --> 00:44:46,432
Why would you allow them
to run with that title?
687
00:44:46,433 --> 00:44:49,143
When we agreed to this,
I cautioned you that Wallace
688
00:44:49,144 --> 00:44:50,937
would have final control
of the broadcast.
689
00:44:50,938 --> 00:44:55,983
You allowed
a White man to twist our words.
690
00:44:55,984 --> 00:44:58,528
Even the Uncle Tom preachers
down in Georgia
691
00:44:58,529 --> 00:45:01,197
are calling us
Black supremacists.
692
00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:02,824
Wallace is the producer.
693
00:45:02,825 --> 00:45:04,409
You should have fought
694
00:45:04,410 --> 00:45:07,704
to not derail our message!
695
00:45:07,705 --> 00:45:12,167
Malcolm, you and
Mr. Muhammad's words were clear.
696
00:45:15,379 --> 00:45:17,464
Now, if you'll excuse me.
697
00:45:48,036 --> 00:45:50,037
What are you doing?
698
00:45:50,038 --> 00:45:53,124
Just the other day, you were
completely against joining this.
699
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:55,543
I changed my mind.
700
00:45:55,544 --> 00:45:58,880
Changed your mind? Why?
701
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:01,215
It doesn't matter why.
702
00:46:01,216 --> 00:46:03,551
All that matters is
it's my choice.
703
00:46:03,552 --> 00:46:05,887
I don't have to run
everything I do by you.
704
00:46:05,888 --> 00:46:08,222
As a matter of fact, you do.
705
00:46:08,223 --> 00:46:10,767
It wouldn't just be you
crossing that line.
706
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:13,561
You'd be dragging
the entire SCLC
707
00:46:13,562 --> 00:46:15,396
and all the political goodwill
we've built up
708
00:46:15,397 --> 00:46:17,940
across that line with you.
709
00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:22,028
This gets out of hand,
there's no going back.
710
00:46:22,029 --> 00:46:23,112
Well, if you believe all that,
711
00:46:23,113 --> 00:46:25,699
then why are you even here?
712
00:46:29,745 --> 00:46:32,079
Because I don't
have to agree with my friend
713
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,917
to stand at his side.
714
00:47:28,345 --> 00:47:30,638
We'd like to order lunch.
715
00:47:30,639 --> 00:47:31,723
Please.
716
00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:49,156
You don't belong!
717
00:47:49,157 --> 00:47:50,575
You ain't allowed here, boy.
718
00:47:50,576 --> 00:47:52,368
Get up!
719
00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:53,828
Get up, boy! Get up!
720
00:47:53,829 --> 00:47:55,830
These seats ain't for you!
721
00:47:55,831 --> 00:47:58,041
Nobody wants you here!
722
00:48:14,224 --> 00:48:15,309
Eat it! Eat it!
723
00:48:18,103 --> 00:48:19,855
- Get up!
- Get up!
724
00:48:24,568 --> 00:48:27,278
Come on, let's go,
we got this. We got this.
725
00:48:27,279 --> 00:48:28,404
Let's go. Time to go.
726
00:48:28,405 --> 00:48:30,239
Come on.
Let's go. Let's go.
727
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:31,325
Time to go. Come on.
728
00:48:35,621 --> 00:48:37,580
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go!
729
00:48:37,581 --> 00:48:39,498
Come on. Come on.
730
00:48:39,499 --> 00:48:40,833
Girl,
731
00:48:40,834 --> 00:48:43,878
y'all have really outdone
yourselves this time.
732
00:48:43,879 --> 00:48:46,340
Dr. King's girl Friday.
733
00:48:47,758 --> 00:48:49,383
Girl,
I'm surprised you got the kids
734
00:48:49,384 --> 00:48:52,428
to sit still for so long.
735
00:48:52,429 --> 00:48:57,142
You and Martin just
look so... perfect.
736
00:49:02,147 --> 00:49:04,775
What's wrong?
737
00:49:09,529 --> 00:49:11,530
Hello.
738
00:49:11,531 --> 00:49:13,617
Stanley?
739
00:49:18,789 --> 00:49:21,166
Where are they taking them?
740
00:49:48,568 --> 00:49:51,905
Lord, I need Your guidance.
741
00:49:56,785 --> 00:49:59,370
I'm afraid.
742
00:49:59,371 --> 00:50:02,332
I'm afraid of losing
my allies...
743
00:50:06,294 --> 00:50:08,088
the movement...
744
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,470
my life...
745
00:50:19,433 --> 00:50:21,935
of earning more enemies.
746
00:50:28,942 --> 00:50:31,820
God, please see me through.
747
00:50:48,962 --> 00:50:52,631
Your car is ready,
Your Honorable One.
748
00:50:52,632 --> 00:50:56,135
Brought you some
reading material for the road.
749
00:50:56,136 --> 00:50:59,430
It appears Brother Malcolm
achieved his goal.
750
00:50:59,431 --> 00:51:01,349
I'll be in the car.
