Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,053 --> 00:00:02,847
In the name of Allah, the merciful.
2
00:00:03,055 --> 00:00:05,599
All praises due to Allah,
Lord of all worlds.
3
00:00:05,891 --> 00:00:07,768
The one God to whom praise
is due forever.
4
00:00:07,977 --> 00:00:10,729
The one who came to us in the person
of Fard Muhammad...
5
00:00:10,938 --> 00:00:14,483
...and raised up the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad. Amen.
6
00:00:17,236 --> 00:00:18,904
How do you feel?
7
00:00:19,238 --> 00:00:21,532
-Who do we want to hear?
-Malcolm X!
8
00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:23,826
Are we gonna bring him on?
9
00:00:24,076 --> 00:00:25,828
Yes, we gonna bring him on.
10
00:00:26,036 --> 00:00:28,747
Let us hear from our minister,
Mr. Malcolm X!
11
00:00:28,956 --> 00:00:32,209
Let us bring him on with
a round of applause.
12
00:00:39,341 --> 00:00:42,636
I'm here to tell you that
I charge the white man.
13
00:00:42,845 --> 00:00:46,598
I charge the white man with being
the greatest murderer on earth.
14
00:00:46,849 --> 00:00:51,019
I charge the white man with being
the greatest kidnapper on earth.
15
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:54,523
There's no place in this world that
that man can go...
16
00:00:54,857 --> 00:00:58,193
...and say he created peace
and harmony. Everywhere he's gone...
17
00:00:58,527 --> 00:00:59,862
...he's created havoc.
18
00:01:00,112 --> 00:01:03,115
Everywhere he's gone,
he's created destruction.
19
00:01:03,365 --> 00:01:07,536
So I charge him with being
the greatest kidnapper on this earth!
20
00:01:07,786 --> 00:01:10,872
I charge him with being the greatest
murderer on this earth!
21
00:01:11,123 --> 00:01:15,377
I charge him with being the greatest
robber and enslaver on this earth!
22
00:01:15,627 --> 00:01:17,295
I charge the white man...
23
00:01:17,504 --> 00:01:21,967
...with being the greatest swine-eater
and drunkard on this earth!
24
00:01:22,217 --> 00:01:24,302
He can't deny the charges.
25
00:01:24,511 --> 00:01:28,640
You can't deny the charges!
We're the living proof of those charges!
26
00:01:28,890 --> 00:01:30,934
You and I are the proof.
27
00:01:31,852 --> 00:01:35,063
You're not an American.
You are the victim ofAmerica!
28
00:01:35,313 --> 00:01:38,149
You didn't have a choice coming here.
He didn't say:
29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,153
"Black man, black woman, come over
and help me build America. "
30
00:01:42,404 --> 00:01:44,656
He said, "Nigger, get in the boat.
31
00:01:44,906 --> 00:01:48,243
I'm taking you over there to help me
build America. "
32
00:01:49,411 --> 00:01:52,163
Being born here
does not make you an American.
33
00:01:52,414 --> 00:01:57,210
You and I are not American. You're one
of the 22 million black people...
34
00:01:58,002 --> 00:02:02,882
...who are victims ofAmerica.
You and I, we've never seen democracy.
35
00:02:03,174 --> 00:02:07,846
There's no democracy in the fields
of Georgia. No democracy down there.
36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,601
We didn't see any democracy in Harlem,
Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago.
37
00:02:13,851 --> 00:02:17,146
Ain't no democracy there.
We've never seen democracy.
38
00:02:18,606 --> 00:02:20,650
All we've seen is hypocrisy.
39
00:02:22,193 --> 00:02:24,320
We don't see any American dream.
40
00:02:25,113 --> 00:02:28,157
We've experienced only
the American nightmare.
41
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,680
See that spot?
Get it. The spot!
42
00:03:33,097 --> 00:03:35,057
All right, that's it.
43
00:04:16,056 --> 00:04:17,182
Hey, Cholly!
44
00:04:17,391 --> 00:04:21,144
Where'd you get that number you hit on?
Was it your girl's address?
45
00:04:21,353 --> 00:04:25,524
No, my grandma gave me that number
in my dreams. Straight!
46
00:04:26,316 --> 00:04:27,275
3-8-4.
47
00:04:27,484 --> 00:04:29,361
You said Sassy Frassy gave you--
48
00:04:29,569 --> 00:04:30,779
That woman quit me.
49
00:04:30,987 --> 00:04:34,950
After l hit the number, that woman
was no good to me at all.
50
00:04:35,659 --> 00:04:39,496
She said l was cheap because
l wouldn't cop her a diamond ring.
51
00:04:39,913 --> 00:04:43,917
And on top of that,
had the indignation...
52
00:04:44,167 --> 00:04:47,128
...to call me, of all people,
Good-time Cholly...
53
00:04:48,088 --> 00:04:50,131
...a cheap, black son of a bitch.
54
00:04:51,341 --> 00:04:52,217
Where's homeboy?
55
00:04:52,842 --> 00:04:54,302
Hey, Little.
56
00:04:54,678 --> 00:04:56,930
Your man out here waiting on you.
57
00:04:59,182 --> 00:05:01,142
There he is.
58
00:05:01,935 --> 00:05:04,604
Fixing to get that first conk laid on?
59
00:05:04,938 --> 00:05:06,856
Be hot like hell.
60
00:05:07,065 --> 00:05:08,149
Don't be scared, son.
61
00:05:08,358 --> 00:05:11,069
You ain't got nothing to worry about.
62
00:05:11,277 --> 00:05:13,863
You in the hands of an expert.
63
00:05:14,072 --> 00:05:17,951
My hair was just like yours.
Look what he did for me.
64
00:05:19,285 --> 00:05:20,578
Heckle and Jeckle...
65
00:05:20,787 --> 00:05:23,581
...don't scare the man no more than
he's scared already.
66
00:05:23,915 --> 00:05:26,876
-Get his forehead and eyebrows.
-Who's doing this?
67
00:05:27,085 --> 00:05:28,378
You all heard that!
68
00:05:29,754 --> 00:05:33,758
Pull my coat if it stings. This shit
can burn a hole through cement.
69
00:05:33,966 --> 00:05:34,967
Hold tight.
70
00:05:35,343 --> 00:05:38,012
l thought you said
this would sting, Shorty.
71
00:05:38,971 --> 00:05:40,056
This ain't nothing.
72
00:05:40,264 --> 00:05:42,100
-Feel good, don't it?
-Real good?
73
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:43,768
Yeah, it's all right.
74
00:05:43,976 --> 00:05:45,186
You'll feel better.
75
00:05:45,394 --> 00:05:47,563
lt is heating up a bit.
76
00:05:48,189 --> 00:05:49,774
lt's starting to heat up.
77
00:05:49,982 --> 00:05:50,900
lt's okay.
78
00:05:51,108 --> 00:05:52,568
Feeling better, ain't it?
79
00:05:52,777 --> 00:05:55,363
-Just hold on.
-l'm holding, but it's heating.
80
00:05:55,571 --> 00:05:57,532
Gotta make it straight.
81
00:05:57,949 --> 00:05:59,992
That's what he told me too.
82
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,704
l gotta get this out now.
lt's starting--
83
00:06:05,164 --> 00:06:08,167
-Hold on.
-l'm holding, l'm holding.
84
00:06:10,795 --> 00:06:11,712
Give me a hand!
85
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:13,172
Help me out! Hold him!
86
00:06:14,131 --> 00:06:15,841
We're going to the sink!
87
00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:17,802
l got to get up! l got to get up!
88
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:19,470
-Cool it!
-Put water on it!
89
00:06:19,678 --> 00:06:20,638
More water!
90
00:06:20,846 --> 00:06:22,890
You're getting it in my eye!
91
00:06:23,557 --> 00:06:26,310
-How's it feel?
-Like there's no skin on my head!
92
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:27,728
lf you can talk, it's out.
93
00:06:27,937 --> 00:06:30,397
-How does it look?
-Can't tell yet.
94
00:06:30,564 --> 00:06:33,234
ls it straight?
l'm not doing it again.
95
00:06:33,692 --> 00:06:35,527
Let me dry it.
96
00:06:37,738 --> 00:06:39,907
l can tell it's laying down.
97
00:06:42,910 --> 00:06:44,912
Don't take it off yet.
98
00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:02,513
Looks white, don't it?
99
00:07:02,721 --> 00:07:03,764
All right!
100
00:07:04,431 --> 00:07:06,183
Well, all root!
101
00:07:06,391 --> 00:07:07,392
All reet!
102
00:07:26,119 --> 00:07:28,121
Hit the brim with the left.
103
00:07:47,641 --> 00:07:50,060
When my mother was pregnant with me...
104
00:07:50,977 --> 00:07:55,106
...a party of Klansmen surrounded
our house in Omaha, Nebraska.
105
00:07:55,273 --> 00:07:58,985
They brandished guns and shouted
for my father to come out.
106
00:08:01,696 --> 00:08:04,449
My pregnant mother went to the door...
107
00:08:04,657 --> 00:08:07,660
...and said that my father was in
Milwaukee, preaching.
108
00:08:08,161 --> 00:08:10,538
They said that good white Christians...
109
00:08:10,747 --> 00:08:14,375
...would not stand for his
troublemaking and to get out of town.
110
00:08:32,977 --> 00:08:36,397
They broke every window with
their rifles before riding away.
111
00:08:38,274 --> 00:08:42,278
They rode off into the moonlight as
suddenly as they had come.
112
00:08:43,821 --> 00:08:48,284
My father was not a frightened Negro,
as most were and many still are today.
113
00:08:48,493 --> 00:08:50,787
He was 6 feet 4 and very strong.
114
00:08:50,995 --> 00:08:52,830
He believed, as did Marcus Garvey...
115
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:55,458
...that freedom, independence
and self-respect...
116
00:08:55,666 --> 00:08:57,335
...wouldn't be achieved
by Negroes in America.
117
00:08:57,543 --> 00:09:02,506
--the object of building up for
themselves a great nation in Africa.
118
00:09:03,007 --> 00:09:04,008
Therefore...
119
00:09:04,217 --> 00:09:07,887
...black men should leave America and
return to their land of origin.
120
00:09:09,847 --> 00:09:12,475
My father dedicated his life
to his beliefs...
121
00:09:12,683 --> 00:09:15,436
...because four of his six brothers
died violently.
122
00:09:15,645 --> 00:09:18,564
Three killed by white men,
and one lynched.
123
00:09:18,856 --> 00:09:21,067
There were nine children in our family.
124
00:09:21,692 --> 00:09:25,237
My mother was a proud woman, an
educated woman, a strong woman.
125
00:09:26,363 --> 00:09:30,367
She was fair-skinned because her mother
was raped by a white man.
126
00:09:30,576 --> 00:09:34,246
One reason she married my father was
because he was so black.
127
00:09:34,622 --> 00:09:38,876
She hated her complexion and wanted
her children to have some color.
128
00:09:39,585 --> 00:09:44,256
I think this had a profound effect on
me then and on most Negroes today.
129
00:09:44,882 --> 00:09:49,553
Because so many of our sisters have been
raped or violated by the white man...
130
00:09:49,762 --> 00:09:53,682
...black men can't wait to get their
hands on the white man's prize:
131
00:09:53,891 --> 00:09:55,517
A white woman.
132
00:09:57,936 --> 00:10:00,522
Africa for the Africans!
133
00:10:02,274 --> 00:10:03,776
Say "Roseland."
134
00:10:05,486 --> 00:10:08,197
Showtime!
135
00:10:08,739 --> 00:10:10,949
Showtime!
136
00:10:40,437 --> 00:10:41,646
Hi, Shorty!
137
00:10:43,231 --> 00:10:44,316
You're too big!
138
00:10:44,524 --> 00:10:45,817
l'm gonna come get you.
139
00:10:52,115 --> 00:10:55,160
Come on, Shorty,
l've gotta dance!
140
00:11:05,462 --> 00:11:07,630
You in charge, boy!
141
00:11:10,508 --> 00:11:12,343
You like what you see, baby?
142
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:16,264
Get back here!
143
00:11:16,431 --> 00:11:17,557
Go ahead, boy!
144
00:11:17,766 --> 00:11:19,434
Red, save me! Save me!
145
00:11:19,642 --> 00:11:20,477
Gotcha!
146
00:11:31,946 --> 00:11:34,866
Come on, Shorty. l wanna dance again!
147
00:13:39,156 --> 00:13:41,283
Laura sure can go, can't she?
148
00:13:41,491 --> 00:13:43,535
-l gotta go freshen up.
-All right.
149
00:13:43,744 --> 00:13:46,037
-You come on back now.
-All right, Malcolm.
150
00:13:46,872 --> 00:13:49,499
That chick is fine as May wine.
151
00:13:49,749 --> 00:13:53,128
Except she lives up on a hill
and got a grandmother too.
152
00:13:53,336 --> 00:13:56,506
She a church girl.
l don't know what l'm gonna do.
153
00:14:17,819 --> 00:14:19,404
Wanna dance?
154
00:14:45,471 --> 00:14:46,931
So what do they call you?
155
00:14:48,057 --> 00:14:49,058
Red.
156
00:14:52,812 --> 00:14:53,771
l'm Sophia.
157
00:14:54,397 --> 00:14:55,440
How you doing?
158
00:14:55,648 --> 00:14:57,483
Very well, thank you.
159
00:14:58,234 --> 00:14:59,861
l have an idea, Red.
160
00:15:02,238 --> 00:15:05,741
Why don't you take that
little girl home and come on back?
161
00:15:13,624 --> 00:15:15,751
Just walk, baby, don't run.
162
00:15:17,628 --> 00:15:19,547
lt'll be here when you get back.
163
00:15:35,104 --> 00:15:37,064
Well, l better not come in.
164
00:15:37,273 --> 00:15:38,858
l'm not stupid.
165
00:15:39,942 --> 00:15:40,901
lt's late, baby.
166
00:15:41,152 --> 00:15:44,155
l know where you're going.
l am not a total square.
167
00:15:44,363 --> 00:15:47,741
-l know what's happening--
-l gotta go home. lt's late.
168
00:15:47,950 --> 00:15:51,787
l gotta get up early in the morning.
l gotta work tomorrow.
169
00:15:54,665 --> 00:15:56,125
l'll call you tomorrow?
170
00:15:56,333 --> 00:15:57,876
What for?
171
00:15:58,168 --> 00:16:02,798
l'm not white and l don't put out,
so why would you want to call me?
172
00:16:07,011 --> 00:16:09,722
Good night, Mrs. Johnson.
l'll call you tomorrow.
173
00:17:03,358 --> 00:17:05,819
Am l the first white woman
you've been with?
174
00:17:07,946 --> 00:17:09,281
No, you ain't.
175
00:17:09,614 --> 00:17:11,783
Shit, l done had plenty.
176
00:17:13,743 --> 00:17:15,287
That isn't a whore?
177
00:17:33,388 --> 00:17:34,389
Take your time.
178
00:17:34,597 --> 00:17:38,142
Sophia's not going anywhere.
179
00:17:39,269 --> 00:17:40,728
l told you to walk...
180
00:17:41,229 --> 00:17:42,647
...don't run.
181
00:17:45,733 --> 00:17:47,860
l don't like women that talk too much.
182
00:17:52,407 --> 00:17:53,950
Who wants to talk?
183
00:18:13,010 --> 00:18:14,720
You missed me.
184
00:18:14,929 --> 00:18:16,848
Try this on for size.
185
00:18:20,935 --> 00:18:22,562
-l ducked.
-You ducked?
186
00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:25,064
You didn't! l got you
right between the toes!
187
00:18:25,273 --> 00:18:28,734
l'm tired of playing the cops.
l wanna be Bogart.
188
00:18:28,943 --> 00:18:31,779
Shorty, you're too small to be Bogart.
189
00:18:31,988 --> 00:18:33,656
l'm not too short to be Cagney.
190
00:18:37,618 --> 00:18:39,120
One more!
191
00:18:43,582 --> 00:18:47,086
You dirty, rotten, stinking copper!
192
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:54,969
You used to be a big shot.
193
00:18:59,974 --> 00:19:02,101
There is just nothing l can do.
194
00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:05,521
-What do you mean, took his own life?
-You heard the verdict.
195
00:19:05,729 --> 00:19:10,526
Verdict? A man takes a hammer and
bashes in the back of his own head?
196
00:19:10,734 --> 00:19:13,112
Then he lays on the tracks
and kills himself?
197
00:19:13,654 --> 00:19:15,948
We only act on the verdicts,
we don't make them.
198
00:19:16,156 --> 00:19:18,033
Do you pay or don't you?
199
00:19:23,163 --> 00:19:24,540
Read the policy, ma'am.
200
00:19:25,374 --> 00:19:27,918
lt clearly states....
201
00:19:36,343 --> 00:19:37,344
Come here, Sophia.
202
00:19:47,396 --> 00:19:48,980
You're the man.
203
00:19:51,024 --> 00:19:52,442
Sit down.
204
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,242
What's your story?
205
00:20:00,450 --> 00:20:03,662
You one of them white chicks
can't get enough colored studs?
206
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:16,091
lKiss my foot.
207
00:20:18,635 --> 00:20:20,470
Go ahead, kiss it.
208
00:20:29,687 --> 00:20:31,356
Now feed me.
209
00:20:52,168 --> 00:20:54,003
That's your story, girl.
210
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:56,381
So when you gonna holler rape?
211
00:20:56,756 --> 00:20:57,590
Me?
212
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,343
Yes, you.
You would, if the time came.
213
00:21:00,551 --> 00:21:01,844
Sure you would.
214
00:21:02,553 --> 00:21:04,389
Malcolm, let me feed you.
215
00:21:04,889 --> 00:21:06,391
Come on.
216
00:21:07,225 --> 00:21:08,976
While they're hot.
217
00:21:17,318 --> 00:21:19,946
l wish your mother and father
could see you now.
218
00:21:20,655 --> 00:21:22,698
And that ofay you're gonna marry.
219
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:24,992
l sure wish Laura could see us.
220
00:22:15,751 --> 00:22:17,544
Please, Malcolm.
221
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:20,506
There's nobody around.
222
00:22:21,965 --> 00:22:23,717
No, this ain't right.
223
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:27,387
-Why?
-Because you--
224
00:22:27,596 --> 00:22:30,599
No, it's because of
the white girl, isn't it?
225
00:22:30,808 --> 00:22:35,229
-lt's not because of that.
-Folks say you run around with her.
226
00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:39,274
Save it for Mr. Right. Your
grandmother's smarter than you think.
227
00:22:42,861 --> 00:22:45,405
l'm sorry she raised me that way.
228
00:22:51,662 --> 00:22:53,163
ls your mother alive?
229
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:54,373
Yes, she's alive.
230
00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:58,877
When l was a kid, l was so poor
l thought "not for sale" ...
231
00:22:59,086 --> 00:23:01,254
...was a brand name.
232
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:02,798
l did knock.
233
00:23:03,006 --> 00:23:04,466
Did you hear me say, "Come in"?
234
00:23:05,675 --> 00:23:08,845
There's no point in fighting about it.
l'm sorry.
235
00:23:09,137 --> 00:23:12,098
-May l sit down?
-You're nice enough to ask.
236
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,063
lt's the same questions, Mrs. Little.
237
00:23:18,688 --> 00:23:21,858
-Since your husband's death...
-Murder. Murder.
238
00:23:22,233 --> 00:23:26,655
...there's a question as to whether you
can raise these children alone.
239
00:23:28,114 --> 00:23:30,116
These are my children.
240
00:23:31,868 --> 00:23:33,495
They're mine.
241
00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:36,164
And they ain't no question.
242
00:23:36,373 --> 00:23:41,336
Sometimes, Mrs. Little, candor
is the only kindness.
243
00:23:41,878 --> 00:23:43,671
All your children are delinquent...
244
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,008
...and one at least,
Malcolm, is a thief.
245
00:23:47,217 --> 00:23:47,884
Get out!
246
00:23:48,092 --> 00:23:51,596
Your control over your
children is nonexistent.
247
00:23:51,804 --> 00:23:53,264
Did you hear me?
248
00:23:56,017 --> 00:23:57,268
You will regret this.
249
00:23:57,477 --> 00:24:01,731
lf you don't move through that door,
you'll be past regretting!
250
00:24:04,525 --> 00:24:07,987
We were parceled out, all of us.
251
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:12,533
I truly believe that if ever
a state agency destroyed a family...
252
00:24:12,867 --> 00:24:14,243
...it destroyed ours.
253
00:24:14,827 --> 00:24:19,749
I was sent to a detention
home and lived at this woman's house.
254
00:24:20,041 --> 00:24:21,459
Mrs. Swerlin.
255
00:24:21,667 --> 00:24:24,795
Boys, this is Malcolm, our new guest.
256
00:24:25,213 --> 00:24:26,881
We'll treat him like a brother.
257
00:24:28,049 --> 00:24:31,385
I was special. The only
colored kid in the class.
258
00:24:31,719 --> 00:24:35,014
I became sort of a mascot,
like a pink poodle.
259
00:24:35,681 --> 00:24:39,268
I got called a nigger so much,
I didn't think it was wrong.
260
00:24:39,477 --> 00:24:41,395
I thought it was my name.
261
00:24:42,313 --> 00:24:45,524
They talked about me like I wasn't
there. Like a pedigreed dog...
262
00:24:45,733 --> 00:24:47,151
...or a horse.
263
00:24:47,902 --> 00:24:49,195
Like I was invisible.
264
00:24:49,570 --> 00:24:53,282
The important thing
is to be realistic.
265
00:24:53,491 --> 00:24:55,993
We all like you here, you know that.
266
00:24:56,577 --> 00:24:58,078
But you're a nigger...
267
00:24:58,329 --> 00:25:01,582
...and a lawyer is no realistic
goal for a nigger.
268
00:25:01,790 --> 00:25:04,376
But why, Mr. Ostrowski?
269
00:25:04,668 --> 00:25:07,046
l gets the best grades in class.
270
00:25:07,254 --> 00:25:10,674
l got voted class president.
l want to be a lawyer.
271
00:25:10,883 --> 00:25:14,011
l want you to think about
something that you can be.
272
00:25:14,553 --> 00:25:17,765
You're good with your hands,
making things.
273
00:25:18,349 --> 00:25:20,351
People would give you work. l would.
274
00:25:21,685 --> 00:25:23,520
Why not become a carpenter?
275
00:25:24,271 --> 00:25:26,774
That's a good profession for a colored.
276
00:25:27,941 --> 00:25:29,610
Wasn't your pa a carpenter?
277
00:25:30,778 --> 00:25:32,529
Jesus was a carpenter.
278
00:25:33,530 --> 00:25:36,742
People like you as a person.
You're doing real well.
279
00:25:38,619 --> 00:25:40,204
Remember what we said.
280
00:25:40,621 --> 00:25:43,207
"Nothing succeeds like success."
Say it.
281
00:25:43,415 --> 00:25:45,792
Nothing succeeds like success.
282
00:25:46,001 --> 00:25:47,920
As long as you're realistic.
283
00:25:48,128 --> 00:25:49,838
lt's not the end of the world.
284
00:25:52,424 --> 00:25:54,468
l said, "Don't...
285
00:25:55,302 --> 00:25:57,721
...let them give that boy no pig."
286
00:25:58,305 --> 00:26:00,098
It wasn't the end
of the world for me.
287
00:26:00,307 --> 00:26:02,601
But it was the beginning of the end
for my mother.
288
00:26:07,814 --> 00:26:10,233
A right cross to thejaw by Louis.
289
00:26:13,028 --> 00:26:16,781
Louis takes Conn's head back
with a right uppercut.
290
00:26:16,990 --> 00:26:18,617
Louis hits left and right.
291
00:26:18,825 --> 00:26:22,329
And Conn is down
with a right cross to thejaw!
292
00:26:22,579 --> 00:26:24,122
He's taking the count.
293
00:26:24,331 --> 00:26:27,000
Four, five, six...
294
00:26:27,751 --> 00:26:30,920
...seven. He's on his back.
Eight. Nine.
295
00:26:31,171 --> 00:26:35,050
He's getting up!
The referee says it's all over!
296
00:26:38,636 --> 00:26:40,972
What in hell is going on?
297
00:26:41,347 --> 00:26:42,182
Nothing, Mr. Cooper.
298
00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:43,850
The customer's are hungry.
299
00:26:44,350 --> 00:26:45,810
Soup done finished, Mr. Cooper.
300
00:26:46,019 --> 00:26:47,771
Right, Mr. Charlie.
301
00:26:48,354 --> 00:26:49,731
The name is Mr. Cooper.
302
00:26:50,482 --> 00:26:51,608
Don't you forget it.
303
00:26:52,317 --> 00:26:54,068
Mr. Cooper.
304
00:26:57,322 --> 00:26:59,782
What's the matter with you?
You want me to get fired!
305
00:26:59,991 --> 00:27:01,242
l got a wife and six kids!
306
00:27:01,451 --> 00:27:03,828
Mr. Cooper is good white folk!
307
00:27:04,037 --> 00:27:06,497
You is a young fool!
308
00:27:15,006 --> 00:27:17,717
There'll never be another one like that!
309
00:27:19,135 --> 00:27:20,303
He's done it!
310
00:27:20,511 --> 00:27:22,847
And by a knockout...
311
00:27:23,014 --> 00:27:26,559
...and still the world's
heavyweight champion:
312
00:27:26,809 --> 00:27:28,978
Joe Louis!
313
00:27:29,187 --> 00:27:30,938
Ham and cheese!
Excuse me, sir.
314
00:27:31,147 --> 00:27:33,900
Ham and cheese here! l got coffee.
315
00:27:34,108 --> 00:27:36,736
-Lemon meringue pie.
-Hey, boy!
316
00:27:37,028 --> 00:27:40,364
-Ham and cheese.
-Yes, sir. Best in the house.
317
00:27:40,531 --> 00:27:43,326
-You're pleased with yourself.
-l aims to please, sir.
318
00:27:43,534 --> 00:27:44,660
l'm pleased to aim.
319
00:27:44,869 --> 00:27:46,412
-l like you, boy.
-Thank you.
320
00:27:50,458 --> 00:27:51,292
lKeep the change.
321
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:53,836
Right, sir!
Ham and cheese!
322
00:28:02,011 --> 00:28:02,845
Harlem!
323
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:27,453
And here's Joe Lewis,
back in Harlem.
324
00:28:28,037 --> 00:28:30,164
They're celebrating!
They're going crazy!
325
00:28:30,372 --> 00:28:33,542
They're dancing! They're hanging
from street signs!
326
00:28:33,751 --> 00:28:35,502
Everybody's out!
327
00:28:35,878 --> 00:28:38,881
Everyone's having a great time!
Listen to them roar!
328
00:29:14,458 --> 00:29:17,294
Joe's a credit to his race.
What a fine gentleman!
329
00:29:17,586 --> 00:29:19,546
But he's also a fine American.
330
00:29:19,754 --> 00:29:23,091
The Brown Bomber, Joe Louis!
331
00:29:25,635 --> 00:29:26,803
Hey, sugar.
332
00:29:27,095 --> 00:29:29,764
-Slow down. What's your hurry?
-No hurry.
333
00:29:29,973 --> 00:29:31,558
Let me show you something new.
334
00:29:32,684 --> 00:29:34,728
l got gold watches, diamond rings.
335
00:29:34,936 --> 00:29:36,896
Any one of these. Whatever you need.
336
00:29:37,230 --> 00:29:38,148
l don't need that.
337
00:29:38,356 --> 00:29:41,401
You need something, baby.
Whatever you need!
338
00:29:41,609 --> 00:29:43,445
A couple of these
make a player look good.
339
00:30:14,726 --> 00:30:16,060
My man!
340
00:30:16,269 --> 00:30:20,481
-The word is "excuse me," boy.
-"Excuse me" don't shine my shoes.
341
00:30:20,690 --> 00:30:22,400
Then stay out of my way.
342
00:30:24,902 --> 00:30:26,738
Old country nigger.
343
00:30:31,159 --> 00:30:32,952
What you gonna do?
344
00:30:39,584 --> 00:30:40,751
Go home to your mama?
345
00:30:50,928 --> 00:30:55,641
Nigger, don't you ever in your life
say anything against my mother!
346
00:31:17,413 --> 00:31:18,664
Give me a whiskey.
347
00:31:27,923 --> 00:31:29,591
l ordered a single, Jack.
348
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,344
The double's on that gentleman, "Jack."
349
00:31:37,016 --> 00:31:38,183
Who is that?
350
00:31:39,059 --> 00:31:41,186
That's West lndian Archie.
351
00:31:41,603 --> 00:31:43,272
What's his angle?
352
00:31:44,523 --> 00:31:47,109
Some of this, some of that.
353
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,832
Nothing's gonna bite you.
354
00:32:03,584 --> 00:32:05,627
You look like you're new in town.
355
00:32:05,836 --> 00:32:08,964
From what l can see,
you're pretty handy with a bottle.
356
00:32:09,172 --> 00:32:10,007
He had it coming.
357
00:32:11,591 --> 00:32:12,843
Pull up a chair.
358
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,980
What do they call you?
359
00:32:25,355 --> 00:32:26,481
Red.
360
00:32:27,315 --> 00:32:28,567
And l ain't no punk.
361
00:32:28,817 --> 00:32:30,151
You better not be.
362
00:32:30,902 --> 00:32:33,572
Any cat toe you down here,
you stand up or make tracks.
363
00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:34,948
Man live by his rep.
364
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,074
Better believe it.
365
00:32:37,576 --> 00:32:39,077
So what do you do?
366
00:32:39,286 --> 00:32:40,287
Working on the train.
367
00:32:42,038 --> 00:32:42,872
Like that job?
368
00:32:43,331 --> 00:32:46,960
-lKeeps me out of the Army.
-They want you, nothing'll keep you out.
369
00:32:47,168 --> 00:32:48,003
Not this boy.
370
00:32:49,921 --> 00:32:52,424
So l hear tell
you're a good man to know.
371
00:32:52,590 --> 00:32:54,634
-Where you hear that?
-Boston, where l'm from.
372
00:32:54,843 --> 00:32:56,386
lKiss my neck.
373
00:32:56,761 --> 00:32:58,263
l've never been in Beantown.
374
00:32:58,471 --> 00:33:01,307
Like the man said, a man's rep travels.
375
00:33:02,350 --> 00:33:03,685
How about that!
376
00:33:05,937 --> 00:33:07,063
You bullshitting me?
377
00:33:07,272 --> 00:33:10,275
My father told me
never bullshit a West lndian.
378
00:33:10,483 --> 00:33:11,734
Your daddy's West lndian?
379
00:33:11,943 --> 00:33:13,069
My mama.
380
00:33:13,778 --> 00:33:15,530
She's from Grenada.
381
00:33:15,822 --> 00:33:17,115
Grenada.
382
00:33:21,035 --> 00:33:21,911
l like this guy.
383
00:33:22,328 --> 00:33:24,247
l like your country.
384
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:26,332
Grenada.
385
00:33:26,541 --> 00:33:29,085
Where'd you get them
goddamn vines you got on?
386
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:31,003
And them shoes?
387
00:33:31,295 --> 00:33:32,130
Oh, my.
388
00:33:32,338 --> 00:33:33,798
We can do something about that.
389
00:33:33,965 --> 00:33:37,260
But he's putting a hurting
on my vision, man!
390
00:33:37,468 --> 00:33:38,594
Relax.
391
00:33:39,303 --> 00:33:40,304
How do l find you?
392
00:33:40,513 --> 00:33:41,722
You can't.
393
00:33:42,515 --> 00:33:43,891
l get ahold of you.
394
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:46,269
All right, l'll write it down.
395
00:33:46,477 --> 00:33:48,312
Don't ever write anything down.
396
00:33:48,479 --> 00:33:50,231
File it up here.
397
00:33:50,565 --> 00:33:51,983
Like l do.
398
00:33:52,817 --> 00:33:56,195
lf the man don't have any paper,
he will never have any proof.
399
00:33:56,737 --> 00:33:57,780
Dig?
400
00:33:59,323 --> 00:34:01,951
Yeah, l dig. Right.
401
00:34:06,914 --> 00:34:08,040
Look me in the face.
402
00:34:08,249 --> 00:34:09,917
Did you just con me?
403
00:34:12,837 --> 00:34:13,921
Yes, sir.
404
00:34:14,338 --> 00:34:15,214
Why?
405
00:34:15,422 --> 00:34:16,966
Because l want in.
406
00:34:17,842 --> 00:34:20,469
lt don't take a lot to know
you're already there.
407
00:34:20,678 --> 00:34:22,346
At least he ain't lying.
408
00:34:22,555 --> 00:34:24,014
l have a run to make.
409
00:34:24,181 --> 00:34:26,517
Let me make that run
with you, Mr. Archie.
410
00:34:35,734 --> 00:34:36,735

411
00:34:37,861 --> 00:34:39,488
l like your style.
412
00:34:40,447 --> 00:34:42,449
You might just do, Mr. Red.
413
00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:45,869
Unless you have to
get back to your train job.
414
00:34:46,078 --> 00:34:48,205
l've told him what to do
with that train.
415
00:34:48,414 --> 00:34:49,665
-When?
-Just now.
416
00:34:55,045 --> 00:34:56,296
All right.
417
00:34:57,047 --> 00:34:58,173
Come with me.
418
00:34:58,549 --> 00:35:00,300
l'm taking you shopping.
419
00:35:02,052 --> 00:35:03,679
Cadillac's the name.
420
00:35:04,471 --> 00:35:06,139
Sammy, man.
421
00:35:07,182 --> 00:35:09,017
-You ready?
-Good.
422
00:35:12,396 --> 00:35:14,314
Button more buttons on the jacket.
423
00:35:22,489 --> 00:35:24,616
You look good.
424
00:35:24,908 --> 00:35:26,159
But you're missing something.
425
00:35:26,368 --> 00:35:27,202
Frisk me.
426
00:35:27,869 --> 00:35:29,788
Go ahead, frisk me.
427
00:35:38,421 --> 00:35:39,589
Nothing, right?
428
00:35:45,804 --> 00:35:47,055
l'm still carrying.
429
00:35:47,389 --> 00:35:49,057
This was my first gun.
430
00:35:50,767 --> 00:35:51,893
Now it's yours.
431
00:35:59,442 --> 00:36:00,276
Thank you.
432
00:36:00,485 --> 00:36:01,736
You wear it...
433
00:36:02,570 --> 00:36:04,030
...wear it so.
434
00:36:05,365 --> 00:36:06,908
Small of the back.
435
00:36:08,618 --> 00:36:10,411
Now you're outfitted.
436
00:36:12,330 --> 00:36:13,581
Ready for the streets?
437
00:36:13,790 --> 00:36:15,083
l'm ready.
438
00:36:15,917 --> 00:36:16,793
Let them come.
439
00:36:17,001 --> 00:36:21,798
Let us now turn to
the Gospel According to St. John.
440
00:36:22,090 --> 00:36:23,341
Chapter 3...
441
00:36:23,549 --> 00:36:26,094
...verse 23.
442
00:36:26,594 --> 00:36:27,428
323.
443
00:36:27,637 --> 00:36:32,558
"And John also was baptizing
in Aenon near Salim...
444
00:36:33,976 --> 00:36:37,271
...because there was much water.
445
00:36:38,731 --> 00:36:41,609
And they came...
446
00:36:42,235 --> 00:36:44,445
...and were baptized."
447
00:36:46,781 --> 00:36:48,282
313.
448
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:51,118
255.
449
00:36:51,619 --> 00:36:53,371
lt got to be 25 1.
450
00:36:53,996 --> 00:36:54,830
403.
451
00:36:55,039 --> 00:36:56,958
l saw it in my dream.
452
00:36:57,166 --> 00:36:59,627
555.
453
00:36:59,794 --> 00:37:02,296
-What do you know?
-l feel straight.
454
00:37:03,422 --> 00:37:04,715
Your lucky day.
455
00:37:04,924 --> 00:37:06,300
Roll it for me.
456
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,970
l told you, no paper, no trouble.
457
00:37:10,471 --> 00:37:11,931
l'm working on it.
458
00:37:12,973 --> 00:37:15,393
l keep my numbers in my head.
459
00:37:15,601 --> 00:37:19,480
l've never written a number down yet.
Remember that.
460
00:37:34,411 --> 00:37:35,621
Your turn.
461
00:37:42,002 --> 00:37:43,045
Easy.
462
00:37:46,674 --> 00:37:47,925
Easy.
463
00:37:49,927 --> 00:37:50,761
You there?
464
00:37:50,969 --> 00:37:52,221
lf l ain't, l'm next door.
465
00:37:52,471 --> 00:37:56,391
Nothing in this world can give you
that real deep cool.
466
00:37:56,934 --> 00:37:58,310
The girl.
467
00:38:15,285 --> 00:38:17,371
About as mellow as l can be.
468
00:38:22,834 --> 00:38:23,919
Cool enough to kill.
469
00:38:24,127 --> 00:38:25,504
l realize that.
470
00:38:28,131 --> 00:38:30,467
-Easy, easy, easy, easy.
-Stick them up.
471
00:38:34,304 --> 00:38:35,263
Archie!
472
00:38:37,974 --> 00:38:38,975
Baby?
473
00:38:44,856 --> 00:38:46,858
Malcolm, you're so funny.
474
00:38:49,319 --> 00:38:50,820
Give me some money, baby.
475
00:38:56,368 --> 00:38:58,036
Come on, baby.
476
00:38:58,286 --> 00:39:00,080
The bitch move too slow.
477
00:39:04,042 --> 00:39:07,337
Sometimes this guy
has a big ugly mouth.
478
00:39:07,545 --> 00:39:09,005
What time is it, baby?
479
00:39:10,131 --> 00:39:12,133
8:21.
480
00:39:12,383 --> 00:39:13,760
l like that. Combinate me.
481
00:39:14,427 --> 00:39:16,095
821.
482
00:39:16,304 --> 00:39:18,014
128.
483
00:39:19,224 --> 00:39:20,808
218.
484
00:39:21,059 --> 00:39:22,143
l'm taking the bet.
485
00:39:26,773 --> 00:39:28,566
Time to reload.
486
00:40:16,155 --> 00:40:19,241
l thought you said we was going
to the movies last night.
487
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:20,326
You said that.
488
00:40:20,618 --> 00:40:22,536
l'm sorry. l say a lot of things.
489
00:40:22,787 --> 00:40:23,662
l believed you.
490
00:40:23,871 --> 00:40:27,416
Do your job now. Get me a pack
of Lucky Strikes and a cognac.
491
00:40:40,596 --> 00:40:41,764
Daniel come in yet?
492
00:40:41,972 --> 00:40:43,432
Ain't that him?
493
00:40:44,224 --> 00:40:45,225
Gorgeous!
494
00:40:45,893 --> 00:40:48,896

You been waiting long?
495
00:40:50,606 --> 00:40:52,399
Let me look at you.

-l've been missing you today, Laura.
-How you doing, baby?
497
00:40:57,780 --> 00:41:01,450
l'm all right. Copacetic. Great.
Did you work today?
498
00:41:01,658 --> 00:41:04,203
No, baby, l didn't go to work.
499
00:41:04,411 --> 00:41:07,372
-l need a five-spot.
-l gave you 10 this morning.
500
00:41:07,831 --> 00:41:10,292
Give me the goddamn $5!
501
00:41:10,501 --> 00:41:12,002
lt ain't the money.

502
00:41:12,211 --> 00:41:13,795
...make sure you're okay.

00:41:16,924 --> 00:41:18,133
l'll be right back.
505
00:41:19,468 --> 00:41:20,886
Like last time?
506
00:41:21,094 --> 00:41:23,055
l swear, l'll be right back.
507
00:41:23,263 --> 00:41:25,307
Laura, l love you.
508
00:41:33,815 --> 00:41:35,317
You know that chick?
509
00:41:37,402 --> 00:41:39,279
You a private detective now?
510
00:41:39,488 --> 00:41:40,447
Just asking.
511
00:41:40,655 --> 00:41:42,741
Don't ask me no goddamn questions.
512
00:41:42,949 --> 00:41:45,619
l ask you the questions.
You understand?
513
00:41:46,495 --> 00:41:48,872
-She come in here a lot?
-Almost every night.
514
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,123
With him?
515
00:41:51,791 --> 00:41:54,252
-She know he's high?
-lf she got eyes, she do.
516
00:41:56,504 --> 00:41:57,547
She ain't hooking?
517
00:41:57,923 --> 00:41:59,758
Not yet, Red.
518
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:03,428
But the way things are,
he'll turn her out any day now.
519
00:42:08,475 --> 00:42:09,934
You stuck on her?
520
00:42:10,143 --> 00:42:13,813
That's your problem.
You need to mind your own business.
521
00:42:16,941 --> 00:42:17,984
Don't do that!
522
00:42:18,193 --> 00:42:21,029
l wanna talk to you, all right?
Have a seat.
523
00:42:30,163 --> 00:42:32,373
-Don't pay him any mind, hear?
-All right.
524
00:42:32,582 --> 00:42:34,208
-All right?
-l'm all right.
525
00:42:40,882 --> 00:42:43,009
Buy yourself something nice.
526
00:42:54,812 --> 00:42:56,022
Hey, baby.
527
00:43:01,319 --> 00:43:02,737
Give me a light.
528
00:43:13,331 --> 00:43:15,541
You look uptight.
What's the problem?
529
00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:16,751
-No problem.
-Sure?
530
00:43:16,959 --> 00:43:19,920
Everything's all right.
l'm not worrying about it.
531
00:43:22,548 --> 00:43:24,383
l'm thinking about my money.
532
00:43:24,884 --> 00:43:26,677
Six big ones you owe me, right?
533
00:43:26,886 --> 00:43:27,720
What?
534
00:43:27,928 --> 00:43:29,054
821.
lt hit, didn't it?
535
00:43:29,263 --> 00:43:30,806
You didn't have 821.
536
00:43:31,265 --> 00:43:34,727
Were you high? l threw the slats
at you, told you to combinate me.
537
00:43:35,102 --> 00:43:36,395
You never had it.
538
00:43:36,604 --> 00:43:38,898
l tell you l did. Sophia was there.
539
00:43:39,273 --> 00:43:40,858
You remember, don't you?
540
00:43:41,066 --> 00:43:42,067
What would she say?
541
00:43:43,569 --> 00:43:45,154
Don't do this.
542
00:43:45,362 --> 00:43:46,405
All right?
543
00:43:46,780 --> 00:43:48,115
All right.
544
00:43:50,075 --> 00:43:51,785
All right, skip it.
545
00:43:52,077 --> 00:43:53,662
But you're slipping, aren't you?
546
00:43:54,413 --> 00:43:56,373
You done slipped.
547
00:43:59,585 --> 00:44:01,128
Archie, wait.
548
00:44:12,431 --> 00:44:14,558
Come on, Archie. Look....
549
00:44:15,309 --> 00:44:18,228
Come on. You want a drink
or something? l'm buying.
550
00:44:18,437 --> 00:44:19,688
l ain't drinking with you.
551
00:44:22,274 --> 00:44:23,400
All right?
552
00:44:27,613 --> 00:44:28,780
Come, Sam.
553
00:44:30,324 --> 00:44:32,159
l'll be right there, man.
554
00:44:38,749 --> 00:44:40,917
Twenty-two years.
555
00:44:41,126 --> 00:44:44,755
Twenty-two years, l never
knowed him to forget a number.
556
00:44:44,963 --> 00:44:46,423
First time for everything.
557
00:44:46,631 --> 00:44:48,467
What are you talking about?
558
00:44:48,675 --> 00:44:53,305
The first thing he'll do is check
with the collector for an oversight.
559
00:44:53,513 --> 00:44:56,558
His rep is on the line. So is yours.
560
00:44:57,517 --> 00:45:01,646
And, Red, if you're lying,
you're a dead man.
561
00:45:02,314 --> 00:45:05,650
Dead, dead, dead.
562
00:45:07,610 --> 00:45:09,112
You go and tell him that.
563
00:45:16,327 --> 00:45:18,037
My man, Red.
564
00:45:18,955 --> 00:45:20,039
Night to you.
565
00:45:21,374 --> 00:45:24,711
l don't understand Archie.
You had the number.
566
00:45:58,411 --> 00:46:00,997
Didn't l tell you never sit
with your back to no door?
567
00:46:07,128 --> 00:46:08,254
You know what?
568
00:46:10,381 --> 00:46:12,091
You're a damn liar.
569
00:46:12,383 --> 00:46:13,676
And so is she.
570
00:46:17,263 --> 00:46:18,889
So you figure to take me...
571
00:46:19,098 --> 00:46:20,683
...you bastard?
572
00:46:21,559 --> 00:46:22,810
l'm taking you.
573
00:46:23,019 --> 00:46:25,354
-So it's you and me?
-That's right.
574
00:46:25,563 --> 00:46:27,148
l'll give you the $600.
575
00:46:27,356 --> 00:46:29,066
-l don't want it.
-l'm wearing.
576
00:46:29,275 --> 00:46:32,403
There's three guns on you,
so you take your chances.
577
00:46:43,998 --> 00:46:45,249
Let's walk.
578
00:46:53,132 --> 00:46:55,467
So this is how l'm going out?
579
00:46:56,260 --> 00:46:58,804
-ln a toe-down?
-Toe-down, yes.
580
00:46:59,847 --> 00:47:02,808
-Let's go.
-We'll let Billie finish.
581
00:47:48,687 --> 00:47:50,063
Thank you.
582
00:47:50,272 --> 00:47:53,024
Thank you very much. Thank you.
583
00:48:15,672 --> 00:48:16,715
Wake up.
584
00:48:17,966 --> 00:48:19,259
Wake up!
585
00:48:21,302 --> 00:48:22,887
There's somebody out there.
586
00:48:26,057 --> 00:48:27,559
Wake the kids.
587
00:48:41,614 --> 00:48:44,158
Follow me! Wait! Wait!
588
00:48:47,036 --> 00:48:47,870
Go! Go!
589
00:48:51,249 --> 00:48:52,250
Careful!
590
00:48:55,878 --> 00:48:59,465
-Good thing we're all good Christians.
-lt's time for you to leave this town.
591
00:48:59,674 --> 00:49:00,800
lt's a free country.
592
00:49:01,008 --> 00:49:04,470
We warned you about Garvey preaching!
Stirring up the good niggras!
593
00:49:04,679 --> 00:49:05,721
l ain't a boy!
594
00:49:05,930 --> 00:49:07,557
-l'm a man!
-You're a dead nigger.
595
00:49:07,765 --> 00:49:10,476
And a real man don't hide
behind sheets!
596
00:49:10,685 --> 00:49:13,187
You take these bullets for them sheets!
597
00:49:19,735 --> 00:49:22,196
l know you're a better shot than that.
598
00:49:22,530 --> 00:49:24,115
You should've killed them.
599
00:49:24,615 --> 00:49:26,575
You should've shot them all dead.
600
00:49:26,784 --> 00:49:28,494
l just wanted to scare them.
601
00:49:29,370 --> 00:49:31,998
They won't be around here
bothering us no more.
602
00:49:33,541 --> 00:49:35,710
They won't be here no time soon.
603
00:49:36,335 --> 00:49:37,670
l'm a man!
604
00:49:39,797 --> 00:49:41,006
That'll teach you.
605
00:49:48,430 --> 00:49:49,265
Get a doctor!
606
00:49:49,473 --> 00:49:51,934
He doesn't need a doctor,
he needs a preacher.
607
00:49:53,143 --> 00:49:55,187
l'm glad we got you out of there.
608
00:49:55,563 --> 00:49:58,399
With Archie on your ass,
your name on the wire...
609
00:49:58,607 --> 00:50:01,318
...Boston's the best
goddamn place for you.
610
00:50:02,278 --> 00:50:04,530
We'll take it easy, huh, baby?
611
00:50:04,822 --> 00:50:08,367
l got a place fixed up for us
on Harvard Square. How's that sound?
612
00:50:08,659 --> 00:50:11,370
Sounds good. We'll lay low for a while.
613
00:50:11,870 --> 00:50:14,957
Don't you worry about a thing.
l'll stake you.
614
00:50:15,249 --> 00:50:17,709
l got my band. l'm blowing great sax.
615
00:50:18,252 --> 00:50:19,920
You ain't even heard us play!
616
00:50:20,129 --> 00:50:22,214
Like every hustler, I was trapped.
617
00:50:22,422 --> 00:50:24,550
Cats that hung together
to find security...
618
00:50:24,758 --> 00:50:26,885
...to find an answer, found nothing.
619
00:50:27,094 --> 00:50:29,221
Cats that might've cured cancer....
620
00:50:29,429 --> 00:50:32,266
West Indian Archie might've been
a mathematical genius.
621
00:50:32,474 --> 00:50:35,477
We were all victims
of the American social order.
622
00:50:35,811 --> 00:50:39,439
Until that time, there were
three things I was always afraid of:
623
00:50:39,648 --> 00:50:42,609
a job, a bust andjail.
624
00:50:42,776 --> 00:50:47,114
But I realized then that I wasn't
afraid of anything. I was an animal.
625
00:50:47,948 --> 00:50:49,616
He don't look too good.
626
00:50:51,993 --> 00:50:53,995
We're gonna rob this town blind.
627
00:50:54,204 --> 00:50:55,914
Anybody want out, say so now.
628
00:50:57,958 --> 00:51:00,794
l set up a stake, and l got
somebody to move the goods.
629
00:51:01,002 --> 00:51:03,255
We need a driver. Any suggestions?
630
00:51:03,421 --> 00:51:05,090
How about Rudy?
631
00:51:05,882 --> 00:51:07,050
Who's Rudy?
632
00:51:09,010 --> 00:51:12,264
l'm half-wop, half-nigger.
l'm not afraid of nobody.
633
00:51:14,224 --> 00:51:15,100
What do you do?
634
00:51:15,267 --> 00:51:16,685
Name it, l claim it.
635
00:51:16,893 --> 00:51:19,437
Rudy does catering. Rich joints.
636
00:51:19,646 --> 00:51:20,480
All right.
637
00:51:20,689 --> 00:51:21,856
Tell him about Baldy.
638
00:51:24,901 --> 00:51:27,070
He's this old, rich ofay motherfucker.
639
00:51:27,278 --> 00:51:29,280
l give him a bath every Friday night.
640
00:51:29,489 --> 00:51:33,326
Towel him off,
talcum powder on him, put him to bed.
641
00:51:33,743 --> 00:51:35,662
Just like a baby.
He gets his jollies off.
642
00:51:35,870 --> 00:51:36,955
What about him?
643
00:51:37,163 --> 00:51:41,125
Guy's got jewelry. He's got
a coin collection. He's got china.
644
00:51:41,334 --> 00:51:43,628
-He's got rugs.
-That might be all right.
645
00:51:43,795 --> 00:51:47,507
Shit, l know this town.
l got my own fences.
646
00:51:48,925 --> 00:51:49,884
Who is this guy?
647
00:51:51,678 --> 00:51:52,971
Who put you in charge?
648
00:51:53,721 --> 00:51:54,847
You wanna be in charge?
649
00:51:55,056 --> 00:51:55,890
l am in charge.
650
00:51:56,099 --> 00:51:59,310
-You head nigger in charge.
-l'm the head nigger in charge.
651
00:51:59,477 --> 00:52:00,812
Big-head nigger.
652
00:52:02,855 --> 00:52:03,981
l'll tell you what.
653
00:52:05,316 --> 00:52:06,943
Because l'm a fair man...
654
00:52:07,944 --> 00:52:10,113
...and l like
big-head niggers like you.
655
00:52:10,905 --> 00:52:12,281
We'll flip for it.
656
00:52:13,699 --> 00:52:14,700
We'll flip this.
657
00:52:21,707 --> 00:52:23,209
She loves me.
658
00:52:24,126 --> 00:52:25,878
She loves me not.
659
00:52:26,712 --> 00:52:28,464
She loves me.
660
00:52:30,132 --> 00:52:31,968
She loves me not.
661
00:52:34,387 --> 00:52:35,388
She loves me.
662
00:52:51,028 --> 00:52:52,071
l'll flip first.
663
00:52:54,031 --> 00:52:55,324
Red, cool it. Come on.
664
00:52:55,533 --> 00:52:57,326
Head man in charge, right?
665
00:52:57,868 --> 00:52:59,495
Put the gun down.
666
00:53:00,746 --> 00:53:02,206
We believe you.
667
00:53:02,915 --> 00:53:04,375
We believe you.
668
00:53:05,584 --> 00:53:08,420
Red, stop clowning around, all right?
For chrissakes!
669
00:53:08,629 --> 00:53:09,922
Your turn, Rudy.
670
00:53:10,130 --> 00:53:12,508
Quit fooling around. Come on, guys.
671
00:53:18,639 --> 00:53:19,932
You don't wanna flip?
672
00:53:20,516 --> 00:53:22,810
-Let me show you how.
-Red, don't!
673
00:53:23,018 --> 00:53:24,937
He doesn't know how.
l have to show him.
674
00:53:25,687 --> 00:53:27,231
Did you miss something?
675
00:53:27,439 --> 00:53:30,275
You got your eyes open?
Look at me.
676
00:53:30,734 --> 00:53:32,778
You don't have to do this, Red.
677
00:53:34,279 --> 00:53:36,031
That was really dumb.
678
00:53:39,660 --> 00:53:43,497
Your flip. You wanna do it?
No, you don't, do you?
679
00:53:43,705 --> 00:53:45,040
l'll help you.
680
00:53:45,374 --> 00:53:47,084
-Here.
-Red, don't.
681
00:53:49,419 --> 00:53:51,755
Should we shoot that
wop nose of yours off?
682
00:53:51,963 --> 00:53:55,467
Or is that the nigger side?
ls that the wop side or the nigger side?
683
00:53:55,926 --> 00:53:59,096
ls that wop or nigger?
l guess that's the wop side.
684
00:53:59,346 --> 00:54:00,680
l'm not going to jail.
685
00:54:00,889 --> 00:54:03,892
Put the gun away.
Come on, this is enough.
686
00:54:04,101 --> 00:54:06,228
Say goodbye, Rudy.
687
00:54:10,524 --> 00:54:11,650
Rudy said something.
688
00:54:11,858 --> 00:54:13,235
What'd you say?
689
00:54:14,653 --> 00:54:16,154
Speak up.
690
00:54:19,032 --> 00:54:22,410
Jesus Christ!
When are you gonna stop?
691
00:54:23,453 --> 00:54:25,372
l did two, so l owe you two.
692
00:54:25,622 --> 00:54:26,831
You got it.
693
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,709
-l got it. What did you say?
-You got it.
694
00:54:29,918 --> 00:54:31,544
Rudy says l got it.
695
00:54:33,004 --> 00:54:34,881
Rudy, don't you ever...
696
00:54:35,090 --> 00:54:38,426
...try and cross someone who
ain't afraid to die, you hear me?
697
00:54:39,886 --> 00:54:41,179
All right.
698
00:54:42,013 --> 00:54:43,264
This is what we'll do.
699
00:54:43,473 --> 00:54:45,892
We'll hit old Talcum Powder tonight.
700
00:54:46,100 --> 00:54:49,145
My friend Rudy's gonna
draw up the plans.
701
00:54:49,479 --> 00:54:51,689
Everything that's in the house, right?
702
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,860
Peg, Sophia, you get those tools
like l asked you.
703
00:54:56,069 --> 00:55:00,365
We're gonna hit tonight because some of
us have high visibility during the day.
704
00:55:04,118 --> 00:55:06,037
lt's okay with you, right?
705
00:55:09,791 --> 00:55:11,584
Merry Christmas, Rudy.
706
00:55:11,793 --> 00:55:13,628
One big happy family.
707
00:55:17,131 --> 00:55:18,382
l love you.
708
00:55:41,489 --> 00:55:44,283
What happened to the bullet?
Did you palm that bullet?
709
00:55:44,492 --> 00:55:45,618
What bullet?
710
00:55:45,993 --> 00:55:47,286
The bullet.
711
00:55:49,914 --> 00:55:51,248
You're crazy.
712
00:56:02,676 --> 00:56:03,677
Shorty!
713
00:56:20,903 --> 00:56:23,364
Easy, Shorty, easy.
714
00:57:31,181 --> 00:57:32,891
My man, Red.
715
00:57:34,309 --> 00:57:35,643
My man!
716
00:57:37,395 --> 00:57:39,355
When's Rudy due back?
717
00:57:40,398 --> 00:57:41,900
Thirty minutes.
718
00:57:45,069 --> 00:57:46,905
l'm almost finished.
719
00:57:53,244 --> 00:57:56,372
Girls ought to be getting back
from casing that rug joint.
720
00:57:56,581 --> 00:57:57,874
They should be.
721
00:57:59,626 --> 00:58:01,419
We've done a good job.
722
00:58:01,628 --> 00:58:03,254
We're killing them, ain't we?
723
00:58:06,382 --> 00:58:09,010
They don't know what's hitting them.
724
00:58:09,218 --> 00:58:12,388
-Let me work back in this kitchen.
-You getting the kitchen?
725
00:58:12,597 --> 00:58:14,932
Putting naps on in the kitchen.
726
00:58:15,141 --> 00:58:18,936
lf you can't take the heat,
get out of the kitchen.
727
00:58:20,063 --> 00:58:21,898
All right, let's go to the sink.
728
00:58:26,027 --> 00:58:27,904
Come on, it's starting to heat up.
729
00:58:28,112 --> 00:58:30,114
-lt's burning?
-lt's all right.
730
00:58:31,782 --> 00:58:33,409
Put your head down.
731
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:37,914
-Come on, man.
-l turned it.
732
00:58:45,963 --> 00:58:48,257
lt's started to sting.
Get out of the way!
733
00:58:53,637 --> 00:58:54,472
lt's burning?
734
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,307
Hell, yeah, it's burning!
735
00:59:00,144 --> 00:59:01,604
Goddamn it!
736
00:59:07,985 --> 00:59:10,696
Nigger, take your head
out of the shit bowl!
737
00:59:10,905 --> 00:59:12,615
That's it. Get up slowly.
738
00:59:13,073 --> 00:59:15,993
Watch it! No funny business now.
739
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,662
Red, the jig is up.
740
00:59:18,829 --> 00:59:21,540
The average first offender
gets two years for burglary.
741
00:59:21,999 --> 00:59:24,918
We were all first offenders.
That's what the girls drew.
742
00:59:25,127 --> 00:59:27,588
Two years in the women's reformatory.
743
00:59:27,796 --> 00:59:29,173
Our crime wasn't burglary.
744
00:59:29,465 --> 00:59:32,968
It was sleeping with white girls.
They threw the book at us.
745
00:59:33,177 --> 00:59:36,221
Burglary, count one, 8 to 10 years.
746
00:59:36,430 --> 00:59:38,682
Count two, 8 to 10 years.
747
00:59:38,891 --> 00:59:41,393
Count three, 8 to 10 years.
748
00:59:41,602 --> 00:59:43,896
Count four, 8 to 10 years.
749
00:59:44,104 --> 00:59:46,231
Count five, 8 to 10 years.
750
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:51,194
Count six, 8 to 10 years.
Count seven, 8 to 10 years.
751
00:59:51,486 --> 00:59:53,655
Count eight, 8 to 10 years.
752
00:59:53,864 --> 00:59:58,327
Count nine, 8 to 10 years.
Count ten, 8 to 10 years.
753
00:59:58,535 --> 01:00:03,123
Count eleven, 8 to 10 years.
Count twelve, 8 to 10 years.
754
01:00:03,415 --> 01:00:06,793
Count thirteen, 8 to 10 years,
and count fourteen--
755
01:00:07,002 --> 01:00:09,629
Fourteen counts of 8 to 10 years.
756
01:00:09,838 --> 01:00:11,840
Sentences to run concurrently.
757
01:00:12,424 --> 01:00:16,845
Shorty thought he'd given us 100 years,
until I explained "concurrently. "
758
01:00:17,053 --> 01:00:19,514
It meant a minimum of
10 years hard labor...
759
01:00:19,723 --> 01:00:22,058
...at the Charlestown State Prison.
760
01:00:22,267 --> 01:00:24,477
The date was February 1946.
761
01:00:24,686 --> 01:00:25,937
Fuck you.
762
01:00:31,735 --> 01:00:33,987
Cellblock A, secure.
763
01:01:11,149 --> 01:01:12,400
Look at him.
764
01:01:12,608 --> 01:01:13,776
l see him.
765
01:01:14,068 --> 01:01:15,862
He about to bust?
766
01:01:16,070 --> 01:01:19,532
He not gonna bust.
He wouldn't give them the pleasure.
767
01:01:20,241 --> 01:01:21,576
Little!
768
01:01:24,912 --> 01:01:25,705
Your number.
769
01:01:26,205 --> 01:01:27,039
Little!
770
01:01:27,749 --> 01:01:28,374
What?
771
01:01:28,583 --> 01:01:29,667
Give him a break.
772
01:01:30,084 --> 01:01:33,087
-He's a new fish.
-l'll give him a break.
773
01:01:34,422 --> 01:01:36,174
Now state your number, Little.
774
01:01:36,924 --> 01:01:37,592
l forgot it.
775
01:01:38,259 --> 01:01:38,926
State it.
776
01:01:39,135 --> 01:01:39,802
l forgot it.
777
01:01:40,011 --> 01:01:41,679
You can read it!
778
01:01:41,929 --> 01:01:43,681
-Can't you read, boy?
-Fuck you!
779
01:01:44,515 --> 01:01:46,142
l'll teach you a lesson.
780
01:01:49,270 --> 01:01:50,479
l forgot it!
781
01:01:50,938 --> 01:01:52,023
l forgot it!
782
01:01:52,273 --> 01:01:53,482
l forgot it!
783
01:01:59,196 --> 01:02:01,866
They ain't gonna break me down.
784
01:02:05,870 --> 01:02:09,415
l'm in this situation,
and l'm getting out.
785
01:02:10,124 --> 01:02:12,084
Anything go wrong, l'm strong.
786
01:02:13,586 --> 01:02:15,087
Time's up, Little.
787
01:02:15,796 --> 01:02:17,548
Now state your number.
788
01:02:20,384 --> 01:02:23,053
Suit yourself. Ten more days.
789
01:02:27,391 --> 01:02:28,434
Water!
790
01:02:30,144 --> 01:02:31,228
Water!
791
01:02:48,453 --> 01:02:49,788
You want a smoke?
792
01:02:58,422 --> 01:03:01,216
You know what a friend
you have in Jesus, son?
793
01:03:01,425 --> 01:03:02,634
A friend?
794
01:03:04,845 --> 01:03:08,140
He's a friend?
lf he's such a friend, where is he?
795
01:03:08,348 --> 01:03:09,558
What's he done for me?
796
01:03:09,766 --> 01:03:11,101
A friend!
797
01:03:11,476 --> 01:03:14,771
Tell you what you do,
you tell him to call me.
798
01:03:15,439 --> 01:03:17,482
Call me and tell me
what kind of friend he is.
799
01:03:17,691 --> 01:03:20,318
Solitary 2-2607.
800
01:03:20,485 --> 01:03:22,654
What he done for me, chappy?
801
01:03:22,863 --> 01:03:24,823
Where is he when l need him?
802
01:03:24,990 --> 01:03:28,827
You tell me that! Where is this Jesus?
l'll tell you where.
803
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:32,497
He's out with the police captain!
l'll straighten him out!
804
01:03:32,664 --> 01:03:35,792
What's he done for me?
He ain't done nothing for me!
805
01:03:40,463 --> 01:03:44,175
"What a friend we have in Jesus."
Jesus can kiss my ass!
806
01:03:44,342 --> 01:03:47,971
Tell Jesus to kiss my ass.
How about that? Tell him that.
807
01:04:41,732 --> 01:04:42,775
Little!
808
01:04:45,403 --> 01:04:47,071
State your number.
809
01:04:48,072 --> 01:04:49,574
Come on, state it!
810
01:04:50,575 --> 01:04:52,159
A-22....
811
01:04:52,368 --> 01:04:53,327
What?
812
01:04:53,536 --> 01:04:55,371
A-228....
813
01:04:56,706 --> 01:04:57,748
Come on.
814
01:05:14,390 --> 01:05:15,850
l know how you feel.
815
01:05:16,433 --> 01:05:18,185
Like you want to lay down and die.
816
01:05:20,437 --> 01:05:21,981
l brought you something.
817
01:05:22,648 --> 01:05:25,025
l don't need no more favors from you.
818
01:05:25,234 --> 01:05:26,235
lt's nutmeg.
819
01:05:26,443 --> 01:05:30,864
Put it in the water. You need something
to get the monkey off your back.
820
01:05:31,073 --> 01:05:33,534
lt's not cocaine,
but it'll help some.
821
01:05:40,457 --> 01:05:43,127
Drink it slow.
The stuff is strong.
822
01:05:50,425 --> 01:05:51,802
So what's your hype?
823
01:05:52,469 --> 01:05:55,764
l can show you how to get out
of prison. And it's no hype.
824
01:05:55,973 --> 01:05:58,141
Talk, daddy-o. l'm listening.
825
01:05:59,101 --> 01:06:03,272
-This ain't bad. You got some more?
-That's the last fix l'm giving you.
826
01:06:04,314 --> 01:06:05,941
So why'd you give it to me?
827
01:06:06,149 --> 01:06:10,320
Because you needed it.
Because you couldn't hear me without it.
828
01:06:11,655 --> 01:06:13,991
Nigger, get on out of my face.
829
01:06:14,241 --> 01:06:17,577
l think you got more sense
than any cat in this prison.
830
01:06:17,786 --> 01:06:19,788
Why the hell don't you use it?
831
01:06:21,164 --> 01:06:25,085
You can't bust out of here
like they do in the movies.
832
01:06:25,460 --> 01:06:27,796
Even if you get out,
you're still in prison.
833
01:06:27,963 --> 01:06:29,297
You ain't lying.
834
01:06:29,506 --> 01:06:33,426
You'll bang against a stone wall.
You're not using your brain!
835
01:06:33,677 --> 01:06:35,595
That's what the white man wants.
836
01:06:35,846 --> 01:06:39,140
Look at you, putting all
that poison in your hair.
837
01:06:39,349 --> 01:06:43,812
l think you been in prison too long.
Everybody on the outside conks.
838
01:06:43,979 --> 01:06:46,314
Why does everybody on the outside conk?
839
01:06:46,523 --> 01:06:49,609
They don't want to walk around
with a nappy head, looking like--
840
01:06:49,859 --> 01:06:50,944
Looking like me?
841
01:06:51,152 --> 01:06:52,487
Like a nigger?
842
01:06:53,988 --> 01:06:55,740
Why not look like what you are?
843
01:06:55,949 --> 01:06:58,451
What makes you ashamed of being black?
844
01:06:58,660 --> 01:07:02,122
Let me tell you something.
l'm not ashamed of being anything.
845
01:07:06,126 --> 01:07:08,253
You better let go.
l gotta wash this out.
846
01:07:08,461 --> 01:07:11,464
-Let it burn!
-Nigger, get your hands off of me!
847
01:07:12,590 --> 01:07:14,592
Go on. Burn yourself. Pain yourself.
848
01:07:14,801 --> 01:07:18,638
Put all that poison in your hair,
in your body, trying to be white!
849
01:07:20,556 --> 01:07:23,851
-l don't want to hear this.
-l thought you were smart.
850
01:07:24,018 --> 01:07:26,437
But you just another cat
strutting down the avenue...
851
01:07:26,646 --> 01:07:28,815
...in your clown suit
with all that mess on you!
852
01:07:29,148 --> 01:07:30,274
Looking like a monkey!
853
01:07:30,483 --> 01:07:34,445
The white man sees you and laughs
because he knows you ain't white.
854
01:07:34,654 --> 01:07:35,530
Who are you?
855
01:07:35,696 --> 01:07:37,990
The question is, who are you?
856
01:07:39,367 --> 01:07:40,660
l'll tell you.
857
01:07:41,410 --> 01:07:43,663
You are lost in the darkness.
858
01:07:45,706 --> 01:07:48,334
But Elijah Muhammad has come
to bring you into the light.
859
01:07:48,543 --> 01:07:49,335
Who?
860
01:07:49,544 --> 01:07:51,212
Elijah Muhammad...
861
01:07:51,504 --> 01:07:54,006
...can get you out of prison.
862
01:07:54,882 --> 01:07:57,176
Out of the prison of your mind.
863
01:07:58,010 --> 01:08:01,013
But maybe all you want is another fix.
864
01:08:16,529 --> 01:08:19,156
--you get used to this life,
and it puts you to sleep.
865
01:08:19,365 --> 01:08:22,201
You stop thinking and acting
for yourself.
866
01:08:22,910 --> 01:08:26,497
lf you had to scrounge 3 squares a day,
you'd cut your throats.
867
01:08:26,830 --> 01:08:30,125
So you let them feed you,
give you dominoes to play with.
868
01:08:30,334 --> 01:08:33,754
-Let you shoot marbles, play baseball.
-Let's go. Cut the sermon.
869
01:08:33,963 --> 01:08:37,800
He blows his whistle and you sit,
you stand, you grab, gobble...
870
01:08:38,008 --> 01:08:39,051
...file out...
871
01:08:39,259 --> 01:08:41,387
...sleep, and sing out your number.
872
01:08:41,595 --> 01:08:43,389
l told you to knock it off.
873
01:08:45,683 --> 01:08:46,642
Now...
874
01:08:46,850 --> 01:08:48,560
...are you gonna take yard?
875
01:08:50,771 --> 01:08:52,064
l'm staying.
876
01:08:52,940 --> 01:08:53,857
Me too.
877
01:09:05,035 --> 01:09:07,037
What are you sniffing around for?
878
01:09:07,287 --> 01:09:09,915
l told you, l gave you your last fix.
879
01:09:13,752 --> 01:09:15,420
What's your angle, nigger?
880
01:09:16,630 --> 01:09:19,758
"Nigger"?
Who's wearing the conk?
881
01:09:19,925 --> 01:09:23,595
You the only cat in this prison
l done seen act like you do.
882
01:09:24,930 --> 01:09:27,474
You ain't even afraid of the guards.
883
01:09:27,682 --> 01:09:30,310
What's he gonna do to me
he hasn't done already?
884
01:09:32,229 --> 01:09:36,483
l mean, you don't cuss none. You don't
talk that "What-ya-know-daddy" jive.
885
01:09:36,691 --> 01:09:40,570
A man curses because he doesn't have
the words to say what's on his mind.
886
01:09:45,909 --> 01:09:48,578
l know you got a angle
some kind of way.
887
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:50,914
Don't con me.
888
01:09:52,916 --> 01:09:55,251
Don't con me and don't try.
889
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,298
Hey, just offering you a cigarette,
my man. Ain't no big deal.
890
01:10:06,304 --> 01:10:08,306
l read, study.
891
01:10:08,598 --> 01:10:11,476
The first thing a black man
must have is self-respect.
892
01:10:11,684 --> 01:10:13,895
Respect his body and his mind.
893
01:10:14,103 --> 01:10:16,689
Quit taking the white man's
poisons into his body.
894
01:10:16,940 --> 01:10:21,611
His cigarettes, his dope, his liquor,
his white women, his pork.
895
01:10:22,445 --> 01:10:23,446
Pork?
896
01:10:27,742 --> 01:10:29,994
My mama used to say don't eat no pork.
897
01:10:30,203 --> 01:10:34,666
Your mama was right.
A pig is a filthy beast.
898
01:10:34,832 --> 01:10:38,294
Part rat, part cat
and the rest is dog.
899
01:10:38,503 --> 01:10:40,838
All right, pull my coat on this now.
900
01:10:41,047 --> 01:10:43,257
What happen if you give all that up?
901
01:10:43,716 --> 01:10:47,178
l mean, the pork. You get sick
and you get a medical or something?
902
01:10:47,345 --> 01:10:50,848
Like when l was on the outside,
l ran this hustle. l tried--
903
01:10:51,057 --> 01:10:54,393
l'm telling you God's words,
not no hustle.
904
01:10:54,602 --> 01:10:56,312
And l'm gonna tell you...
905
01:10:56,521 --> 01:10:57,480
...God is black.
906
01:10:57,688 --> 01:11:00,524
God is black?
Everybody knows God is white.
907
01:11:00,733 --> 01:11:04,695
You accepted everything the white man
taught. He said you were a heathen...
908
01:11:04,904 --> 01:11:08,991
...and you believed him.
He said Jesus was blond and blue-eyed...
909
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:10,159
...with white skin...
910
01:11:10,368 --> 01:11:11,744
...and you believed him.
911
01:11:12,411 --> 01:11:15,373
He said that black was a curse
and you believed that.
912
01:11:15,539 --> 01:11:18,084
-Ever look up the word "black"?
-For what?
913
01:11:18,292 --> 01:11:20,628
Did you ever study anything
that wasn't a con?
914
01:11:20,836 --> 01:11:22,338
What the hell for, man?
915
01:11:25,424 --> 01:11:26,217
Come with me.
916
01:11:30,054 --> 01:11:32,640
"Black: Destitute of light...
917
01:11:32,848 --> 01:11:34,225
...devoid of color.
918
01:11:34,683 --> 01:11:36,185
Enveloped in darkness...
919
01:11:36,393 --> 01:11:38,771
...hence utterly dismal or gloomy...
920
01:11:39,229 --> 01:11:40,856
...as, 'The future looked black.' "
921
01:11:41,065 --> 01:11:42,858
Pretty good with them words.
922
01:11:43,233 --> 01:11:44,401
"Soiled with dirt...
923
01:11:44,860 --> 01:11:45,819
...foul.
924
01:11:46,070 --> 01:11:46,779
Sullen...
925
01:11:46,987 --> 01:11:47,780
...hostile...
926
01:11:47,988 --> 01:11:51,033
...forbidding, as, 'a black day.'
927
01:11:51,784 --> 01:11:54,578
Foully or outrageously wicked...
928
01:11:54,787 --> 01:11:56,371
...as, 'black cruelty.'
929
01:11:56,580 --> 01:12:00,292
lndicating disgrace,
dishonor or culpability."
930
01:12:01,418 --> 01:12:04,713
And there's others.
"Blackmail. Blackball. Blackguard."
931
01:12:04,922 --> 01:12:06,381
That's something, all right.
932
01:12:06,798 --> 01:12:08,342
Let's look up "white."
933
01:12:11,803 --> 01:12:12,846
Here.
934
01:12:14,097 --> 01:12:15,057
Read.
935
01:12:17,976 --> 01:12:18,894
"White:
936
01:12:20,103 --> 01:12:22,147
The color of pure snow.
937
01:12:23,565 --> 01:12:26,401
Reflecting all the rays
of the spectrum.
938
01:12:26,943 --> 01:12:28,028
The opposite of black.
939
01:12:33,325 --> 01:12:35,744
Free from spot or blemish.
940
01:12:37,788 --> 01:12:39,414
lnnocent. Pure."
941
01:12:43,752 --> 01:12:46,296
Ain't this something?
"Without evil intent.
942
01:12:46,505 --> 01:12:47,672
Harmless.
943
01:12:48,131 --> 01:12:49,883
Honest, square-dealing...
944
01:12:50,091 --> 01:12:51,718
...and honorable."
Wait a minute.
945
01:12:51,968 --> 01:12:55,180
This was written by white folks, though.
946
01:12:55,430 --> 01:12:58,016
-Sure ain't no black man's book.
-So why read it?
947
01:12:58,224 --> 01:13:00,935
So you can read the truth
behind the words.
948
01:13:01,102 --> 01:13:05,231
You got to take everything the white man
says and use it against him.
949
01:13:09,694 --> 01:13:11,946
There's a whole lot of words in here.
950
01:13:12,489 --> 01:13:15,074
Here. Let's start at the beginning.
951
01:13:15,617 --> 01:13:19,579
We'll look them up, write them down
and find out what they mean.
952
01:13:19,871 --> 01:13:22,874
Page one. The first word: "Aardvark."
953
01:13:26,794 --> 01:13:27,921
"Aardvark.
954
01:13:28,129 --> 01:13:31,049
Earth pig.
African, ant-eating mammal.
955
01:13:31,507 --> 01:13:32,926
Abacus:
956
01:13:33,134 --> 01:13:36,763
Chinese calculating instrument.
957
01:13:39,223 --> 01:13:40,350
Abaddon:
958
01:13:40,558 --> 01:13:44,020
The place of the lost in Sheol.
959
01:13:44,228 --> 01:13:45,646
The bottomless pit."
960
01:13:45,813 --> 01:13:48,357
lf you take one step toward Allah...
961
01:13:48,566 --> 01:13:50,568
...he'll take two steps toward you.
962
01:13:55,907 --> 01:13:57,325
Lights out!
963
01:14:36,322 --> 01:14:38,115
Boy'll wear out a baseball.
964
01:14:39,033 --> 01:14:41,035
-What's the score, my man?
-10 to 1.
965
01:14:41,243 --> 01:14:43,829
We're murdering them!
Didn't you hear?
966
01:14:44,079 --> 01:14:44,997
No. What happened?
967
01:14:45,205 --> 01:14:49,460
The Dodgers brought up Jackie Robinson!
We're pouding them, celebrating!
968
01:14:49,668 --> 01:14:51,378
That's all right.
969
01:14:52,004 --> 01:14:52,880
Sure.
970
01:14:53,630 --> 01:14:56,759
White man throw us a bone
and we're supposed to forget...
971
01:14:56,967 --> 01:14:58,552
...400 years of oppression.
972
01:14:59,303 --> 01:15:00,804
Yeah, but a nigger--
973
01:15:01,889 --> 01:15:04,308
A Negro in the big leagues,
that's something.
974
01:15:04,475 --> 01:15:07,811
l told you to go behind the words
and dig out the truth.
975
01:15:08,145 --> 01:15:11,023
They let us sing and dance
and smile...
976
01:15:11,523 --> 01:15:14,484
...and then they let one
so-called Negro into the majors.
977
01:15:14,735 --> 01:15:17,321
That doesn't cancel out history's
greatest crime.
978
01:15:17,571 --> 01:15:20,616
When that grafted, blue-eyed devil
locked us in chains...
979
01:15:20,824 --> 01:15:24,036
...one hundred million of us,
broke up our families...
980
01:15:24,244 --> 01:15:25,662
...tortured us...
981
01:15:25,871 --> 01:15:29,708
...cut us off from our language,
our religion, our history....
982
01:15:31,460 --> 01:15:33,795
Let me tell you about black history.
983
01:15:34,004 --> 01:15:36,590
We are the original man.
984
01:15:36,798 --> 01:15:39,843
The first men on earth were black.
They ruled.
985
01:15:40,051 --> 01:15:42,888
And there wasn't
a white face anywhere.
986
01:15:43,180 --> 01:15:45,682
But they teach us
that we swung from trees.
987
01:15:45,891 --> 01:15:49,227
That's a lie.
Black men never did that.
988
01:15:49,436 --> 01:15:52,022
We were a race of kings
when the white man...
989
01:15:52,230 --> 01:15:54,316
...crawled on all fours in Europe.
990
01:15:54,524 --> 01:15:56,568
Do they know who they are?
991
01:15:58,570 --> 01:16:01,406
Do you know where you came from?
What's your name?
992
01:16:01,615 --> 01:16:02,490
Malcolm Little.
993
01:16:03,658 --> 01:16:06,911
That's the name of the slave masters
that owned your family.
994
01:16:07,704 --> 01:16:09,706
You don't even know who you are.
995
01:16:09,914 --> 01:16:12,542
You're nothing.
Less than nothing.
996
01:16:12,751 --> 01:16:14,210
Who are you?
997
01:16:17,756 --> 01:16:19,966
Look, l ain't--
Shit!
998
01:16:24,137 --> 01:16:27,098
All right, l ain't Malcolm Little.
Or Red. Or Satan.
999
01:16:27,307 --> 01:16:28,850
That's right.
So who are you?
1000
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:35,815
-l don't know.
-We are a nation...
1001
01:16:36,190 --> 01:16:38,109
...of the tribe of Shabazz...
1002
01:16:38,318 --> 01:16:41,946
...lost in this wilderness called
North America.
1003
01:16:49,620 --> 01:16:50,955
Tribe of Shabazz.
1004
01:16:51,122 --> 01:16:53,583
The merciful Allah
has sent us a messenger...
1005
01:16:53,791 --> 01:16:56,043
...a black man
named Elijah Muhammad.
1006
01:16:56,502 --> 01:17:00,006
He reveals to us the true
knowledge about ourselves.
1007
01:17:00,298 --> 01:17:04,260
He teaches that the true nature
of the original man, the black man...
1008
01:17:04,510 --> 01:17:06,095
...is righteousness.
1009
01:17:06,596 --> 01:17:08,973
lf the black man's nature
is righteousness....
1010
01:17:09,181 --> 01:17:11,934
Then the true nature of
the white man is wickedness.
1011
01:17:12,143 --> 01:17:13,686
l knew you'd get it.
1012
01:17:13,978 --> 01:17:17,815
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches
that the white man is a devil.
1013
01:17:17,982 --> 01:17:20,484
l sure met some in my life.
1014
01:17:22,486 --> 01:17:26,699
Elijah Muhammad does not say
that some white men are devils.
1015
01:17:27,158 --> 01:17:30,536
He teaches us that
all white men are devils.
1016
01:17:31,162 --> 01:17:35,291
Have you ever known a good white man?
Think back in all your life.
1017
01:17:36,167 --> 01:17:38,794
Have you ever met one
who wasn't evil?
1018
01:17:46,927 --> 01:17:48,637
The body is a sacred temple...
1019
01:17:48,846 --> 01:17:51,098
...it must be purified.
1020
01:17:52,683 --> 01:17:55,519
l will not touch
the white man's poison:
1021
01:17:55,686 --> 01:17:57,104
His drugs...
1022
01:17:57,521 --> 01:17:59,023
...his liquor...
1023
01:18:00,024 --> 01:18:02,192
...his swine...
1024
01:18:02,401 --> 01:18:03,485
...his women.
1025
01:18:04,361 --> 01:18:06,989
A Muslim must be strikingly upright...
1026
01:18:07,239 --> 01:18:09,032
...an outstanding example...
1027
01:18:09,241 --> 01:18:12,703
...so that those in the darkness
can see the power of the light.
1028
01:18:14,872 --> 01:18:18,083
l will not commit
adultery or fornication.
1029
01:18:19,710 --> 01:18:21,336
l will not lie...
1030
01:18:21,545 --> 01:18:23,255
...cheat or steal.
1031
01:18:24,590 --> 01:18:27,009
But the key to lslam is submission.
1032
01:18:31,596 --> 01:18:35,058
That is why five times daily,
we turn to Mecca to pray...
1033
01:18:35,267 --> 01:18:37,769
...to bend our knees in submission.
1034
01:18:41,356 --> 01:18:43,692
l can't do that, Brother Baines.
1035
01:18:44,317 --> 01:18:46,528
The lost, found,
must bend their knees...
1036
01:18:46,695 --> 01:18:48,196
...to admit their guilt.
1037
01:18:48,405 --> 01:18:53,118
To implore Allah's forgiveness
is the hardest thing on earth.
1038
01:18:59,082 --> 01:19:01,376
The hardest and the greatest.
1039
01:19:06,256 --> 01:19:09,050
l don't know
what l would say to Allah.
1040
01:19:09,634 --> 01:19:12,053
Have you ever bent your knees?
1041
01:19:14,889 --> 01:19:16,891
Yes, when l was...
1042
01:19:17,976 --> 01:19:20,478
...picking a lock
to rob someone's house.
1043
01:19:20,687 --> 01:19:21,938
Tell Allah that.
1044
01:19:33,575 --> 01:19:37,579
You can grovel and crawl for sin
but not to save your soul?
1045
01:19:37,787 --> 01:19:39,831
Pick the lock.
Pick it.
1046
01:19:40,415 --> 01:19:42,083
l want to.
1047
01:19:45,795 --> 01:19:47,755
God knows l want to.
1048
01:19:58,725 --> 01:20:02,478
I received a letter that day
from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
1049
01:20:02,770 --> 01:20:04,939
The dear Holy Apostle
wrote to me...
1050
01:20:05,148 --> 01:20:07,984
...a nobody, a junkie, a pimp
and a convict.
1051
01:20:08,192 --> 01:20:11,153
I have come to give you...
1052
01:20:11,612 --> 01:20:15,241
...something which can
never be taken away from you.
1053
01:20:15,491 --> 01:20:20,454
I bring to you
a sense of your own worth...
1054
01:20:21,289 --> 01:20:24,041
...the worth of one human being.
1055
01:20:24,250 --> 01:20:26,752
The knowledge of self.
1056
01:20:26,961 --> 01:20:31,257
It was like a blinding light. I was
aware that he was in the room with me.
1057
01:20:31,799 --> 01:20:34,760
He wore a dark suit,
and on his face I saw a wisdom...
1058
01:20:34,969 --> 01:20:38,597
...and pain so old and deep
that I could scarcely look at him.
1059
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,393
But I knew I wasn't dreaming.
He was there with me.
1060
01:20:42,601 --> 01:20:44,478
I tell you...
1061
01:20:45,855 --> 01:20:49,191
...the most dangerous creation
in the world...
1062
01:20:49,525 --> 01:20:51,777
...in any society...
1063
01:20:52,361 --> 01:20:54,947
...is the man with nothing to lose.
1064
01:20:55,197 --> 01:21:00,160
You do not need 10 such men
to change the world.
1065
01:21:01,036 --> 01:21:03,038
One will do.
1066
01:21:04,164 --> 01:21:07,042
The earth belongs to us...
1067
01:21:07,251 --> 01:21:08,627
...the black man.
1068
01:21:09,002 --> 01:21:11,338
And whatever is around it...
1069
01:21:11,547 --> 01:21:14,550
...or on it, or in it...
1070
01:21:14,842 --> 01:21:16,844
...belongs to us.
1071
01:21:17,052 --> 01:21:19,221
And then as suddenly as he came...
1072
01:21:19,429 --> 01:21:20,556
...he was gone.
1073
01:21:22,683 --> 01:21:24,268
And then I could do it.
1074
01:21:27,187 --> 01:21:28,480
We're taught that Paul...
1075
01:21:28,689 --> 01:21:32,025
...on the road to Damascus,
heard the voice of Christ.
1076
01:21:32,317 --> 01:21:35,279
He was so smitten by the truth
that he fell from his horse.
1077
01:21:35,487 --> 01:21:37,656
Now, I don't liken myself to Paul...
1078
01:21:37,906 --> 01:21:39,574
...but I do understand.
1079
01:21:41,159 --> 01:21:42,703
You see, it happened to me.
1080
01:21:42,911 --> 01:21:43,996
Why me?
1081
01:21:45,831 --> 01:21:50,502
Dear Brother Malcolm: I am back
in the bosom of Islam, praise Allah.
1082
01:21:50,752 --> 01:21:54,005
We don't have much,
but what we have is yours.
1083
01:21:54,214 --> 01:21:58,135
My wife and my sonjoin me in saying
that when you come out...
1084
01:21:58,343 --> 01:22:00,679
...which won't be long,
come straight to us.
1085
01:22:00,846 --> 01:22:01,847
Next.
1086
01:22:08,186 --> 01:22:09,646
What'll it be?
1087
01:22:11,356 --> 01:22:12,732
Take it all off.
1088
01:22:12,941 --> 01:22:15,443
-Getting rid of that conk, huh?
-Yes, sir.
1089
01:22:16,945 --> 01:22:18,989
You write, thanking me.
1090
01:22:19,948 --> 01:22:24,202
Don't thank me, thank Allah.
He did it all.
1091
01:22:26,871 --> 01:22:28,498
Dear Brother Baines:
1092
01:22:29,249 --> 01:22:31,835
Please thank Elijah Muhammad
for the money...
1093
01:22:32,585 --> 01:22:34,921
...and tell him
I haven't written him...
1094
01:22:35,130 --> 01:22:37,090
...because I've
not yet proven myself.
1095
01:22:37,298 --> 01:22:41,553
But I have shared his teachings
with old running buddies in Harlem...
1096
01:22:41,719 --> 01:22:45,181
...and with my main man, Shorty,
who was transferred upstate.
1097
01:22:52,449 --> 01:22:56,203
All praises due to Allah
for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
1098
01:22:56,620 --> 01:22:59,331
l wrote the mayor, the governor
and the President...
1099
01:22:59,540 --> 01:23:02,876
...but for some reason
l haven't heard from them."
1100
01:23:04,128 --> 01:23:05,796
Please tell Elijah...
1101
01:23:06,005 --> 01:23:10,592
...I have dedicated my life to telling
the white devil the truth to his face.
1102
01:23:10,801 --> 01:23:14,763
I greet you with the ancient words
of peace, "As-Salaam-Alaikum. "
1103
01:23:15,389 --> 01:23:18,726
P. S. I finally copied out the
entire dictionary.
1104
01:23:20,185 --> 01:23:23,522
l think the brother is coming along.
1105
01:23:25,190 --> 01:23:28,735
"The thief cometh not
but for to steal...
1106
01:23:29,153 --> 01:23:32,698
...and to kill, and to destroy.
1107
01:23:33,115 --> 01:23:34,783
But l am come...
1108
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,077
...that they might have life...
1109
01:23:37,703 --> 01:23:41,248
...and that they might have it
more abundantly."
1110
01:23:42,708 --> 01:23:46,670
Saint John 10, verse 10.
Are there any questions?
1111
01:23:50,841 --> 01:23:53,552
Watch it, baby.
This cat is heavy on religion.
1112
01:23:56,054 --> 01:23:58,765
l see this has become a struggle
between good and evil.
1113
01:23:58,974 --> 01:24:00,225
"Satan" has a question.
1114
01:24:01,476 --> 01:24:03,979
Yes, sir. But since
neither of us are God...
1115
01:24:04,187 --> 01:24:07,315
...neither of us can say
who's good and who's evil.
1116
01:24:07,524 --> 01:24:08,775
Just ask your question.
1117
01:24:08,984 --> 01:24:12,529
We were discussing the Disciples.
What color were they?
1118
01:24:12,737 --> 01:24:15,240
Well, l don't think...
1119
01:24:15,865 --> 01:24:17,117
...we know for certain.
1120
01:24:17,325 --> 01:24:19,411
-But they were Hebrews?
-That's right.
1121
01:24:19,619 --> 01:24:21,705
As was Jesus.
Jesus was also a Hebrew.
1122
01:24:22,956 --> 01:24:24,416
Just ask your question.
1123
01:24:24,624 --> 01:24:26,084
What color were the Hebrews?
1124
01:24:26,292 --> 01:24:29,629
l have told you that
we don't know that for certain.
1125
01:24:29,838 --> 01:24:34,008
Then you can't believe for certain
that Jesus was white.
1126
01:24:34,217 --> 01:24:36,511
Just a moment. Just a moment.
1127
01:24:37,762 --> 01:24:40,682
God is white.
lsn't it obvious?
1128
01:24:40,890 --> 01:24:43,601
That's obvious, but it's
not obvious that God is white.
1129
01:24:43,810 --> 01:24:45,478
Elijah Muhammad teaches us...
1130
01:24:45,687 --> 01:24:48,189
...that Jesus didn't have
blond hair and blue eyes.
1131
01:24:48,398 --> 01:24:51,109
Elijah Muhammad teaches that
images of Jesus...
1132
01:24:51,317 --> 01:24:54,028
...in prisons and churches
throughout the world...
1133
01:24:54,237 --> 01:24:55,905
...are not historically correct.
1134
01:24:56,114 --> 01:24:57,782
Because history teaches us...
1135
01:24:57,991 --> 01:25:01,327
...Jesus was born in a region where
the people had color.
1136
01:25:01,536 --> 01:25:04,038
There's proof in the Bible
you ask us to read...
1137
01:25:04,247 --> 01:25:06,958
...in Revelations, chapter 1,
verses 14 and 15...
1138
01:25:07,166 --> 01:25:09,252
...that Jesus had hair like wool...
1139
01:25:09,252 --> 01:25:11,129
...and feet the color of brass.
1140
01:25:11,337 --> 01:25:14,048
-What're you saying?
-l'm not saying anything.
1141
01:25:14,257 --> 01:25:18,219
l'm proving to you that Jesus was not,
to quote an lndian brother...
1142
01:25:18,427 --> 01:25:20,721
...he was not a paleface.
1143
01:25:22,807 --> 01:25:23,432
Amen.
1144
01:25:24,267 --> 01:25:25,935
lsn't that interesting!
1145
01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:30,940
Brother Malcolm.
1146
01:25:31,148 --> 01:25:32,400
Brother Malcolm.
1147
01:25:33,859 --> 01:25:35,945
He's waiting for you.
1148
01:26:20,781 --> 01:26:22,449
My son....
1149
01:26:25,369 --> 01:26:28,288
You have been a thief...
1150
01:26:29,123 --> 01:26:32,042
...a drug dealer and a hustler...
1151
01:26:33,502 --> 01:26:36,421
...and the world
is still full of temptation.
1152
01:26:41,009 --> 01:26:45,806
When God spoke to the devil about
how faithful Job was...
1153
01:26:46,014 --> 01:26:47,266
...the devil argued...
1154
01:26:47,474 --> 01:26:50,602
...that it was only
God's protective hedge around him...
1155
01:26:50,811 --> 01:26:53,105
...that kept him pure.
1156
01:26:53,730 --> 01:26:55,190
ln fact, the devil said:
1157
01:26:55,399 --> 01:26:59,986
"Remove that hedge
and he will curse his Maker."
1158
01:27:01,655 --> 01:27:02,906
Well, Malcolm...
1159
01:27:04,574 --> 01:27:07,494
...your hedge has been removed.
1160
01:27:09,996 --> 01:27:12,499
And l believe...
1161
01:27:13,959 --> 01:27:15,001
...you...
1162
01:27:15,835 --> 01:27:17,712
...will remain faithful.
1163
01:27:18,338 --> 01:27:19,589
Yes, sir.
1164
01:27:24,177 --> 01:27:25,220
Thank you, sister.
1165
01:27:25,428 --> 01:27:26,888
How many of these should we make?
1166
01:27:27,097 --> 01:27:28,765
-Five hundred.
-Make it 1000.
1167
01:27:29,391 --> 01:27:33,144
Brother Malcolm, this is Brother Earl.
He just accepted the teachings.
1168
01:27:35,647 --> 01:27:38,566
Brother Earl's dedicated.
We need good men like him.
1169
01:27:38,775 --> 01:27:42,112
l'm a willing servant for
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
1170
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:44,197
Go ahead, brothers.
lKeep it busy.
1171
01:27:44,823 --> 01:27:47,325
Take a real good look
at not just where you live...
1172
01:27:47,534 --> 01:27:50,870
...but take a good look
at where everybody you know lives.
1173
01:27:51,079 --> 01:27:54,415
l don't want you to think
you're some bad-luck accident.
1174
01:27:54,624 --> 01:27:57,752
Then l want you to go downtown,
to Central Park West....
1175
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:02,131
Go in other communities....
1176
01:28:02,340 --> 01:28:05,259
You've never seen
a Booker T. Washington store...
1177
01:28:05,468 --> 01:28:06,928
...in an ltalian community.
1178
01:28:07,136 --> 01:28:10,264
You've never seen no
Frederick Douglass delicatessen...
1179
01:28:10,473 --> 01:28:11,724
...in the Jewish community.
1180
01:28:11,933 --> 01:28:15,478
Why's everybody in this community
making money but us?
1181
01:28:15,686 --> 01:28:18,606
lt's time for black men and women
to stand up...
1182
01:28:18,815 --> 01:28:20,900
...and take control of our dollars.
1183
01:28:21,109 --> 01:28:24,862
lt's time for us to use our dollars
for our liberation.
1184
01:28:25,071 --> 01:28:28,616
We can do what everyone else can
if we become producers...
1185
01:28:28,824 --> 01:28:31,744
...and if we become
the masters of our own destiny.
1186
01:28:31,953 --> 01:28:34,664
We can have wool from sheep
just like anyone else.
1187
01:28:34,872 --> 01:28:36,749
But where are our clothing stores?
1188
01:28:36,958 --> 01:28:41,337
We can get milk from cows,
but where are our grocery stores?
1189
01:28:41,545 --> 01:28:45,299
We need to control our dollars!
We need to control our destiny!
1190
01:28:45,508 --> 01:28:48,636
The only thing they respect
is our dollars!
1191
01:28:50,930 --> 01:28:53,224
--the so-called freedom
we should have.
1192
01:28:53,432 --> 01:28:55,726
The Statue of Liberty
stands like this.
1193
01:28:55,935 --> 01:28:59,063
For us, it may as well say,
"Stop, don't come no further."
1194
01:29:00,523 --> 01:29:02,399
"Don't come no further."
1195
01:29:02,608 --> 01:29:04,693
Brothers and sisters,
l want you to....
1196
01:29:04,902 --> 01:29:06,987
l want you to come down
to the temple.
1197
01:29:07,196 --> 01:29:08,864
Oh, l'm so surprised!
1198
01:29:09,073 --> 01:29:12,201
l'm so surprised.
You all been in church two hours...
1199
01:29:12,409 --> 01:29:16,163
...expecting to see heaven,
but you're still here on earth.
1200
01:29:16,372 --> 01:29:18,874
Why don't you come on down
to the temple at 2:00?
1201
01:29:19,083 --> 01:29:21,377
You'll hear truth,
the black man's truth.
1202
01:29:21,585 --> 01:29:25,547
No, you can't deny it.
You been on your knees for hours...
1203
01:29:25,756 --> 01:29:27,841
...begging some God to help you
in the hereafter.
1204
01:29:28,050 --> 01:29:31,595
But the hereafter is right now.
The hereafter is here and now.
1205
01:29:31,804 --> 01:29:33,680
Let me talk to you, brother.
1206
01:29:33,889 --> 01:29:36,600
l know you're a smart man
and a wise man.
1207
01:29:36,809 --> 01:29:37,851
You look good.
1208
01:29:38,060 --> 01:29:41,396
Now, you're in church every day,
praying to this God.
1209
01:29:41,813 --> 01:29:43,690
But these so-called white Christians...
1210
01:29:43,899 --> 01:29:46,401
...hang our black Christians
from trees.
1211
01:29:46,818 --> 01:29:50,155
This man hates you.
He doesn't do anything for you.
1212
01:29:50,364 --> 01:29:52,658
He tells you to foam at
the mouth and sing...
1213
01:29:52,866 --> 01:29:55,369
...and hope for something
in the hereafter.
1214
01:29:55,577 --> 01:29:56,828
We can have it now.
1215
01:29:57,037 --> 01:29:59,122
-Come on down, 2:00.
-See you later.
1216
01:29:59,331 --> 01:30:02,667
As-Salaam-Alaikum
That means, "Peace be unto you."
1217
01:30:02,876 --> 01:30:06,004
We have two children.
Carla, who's two, and....
1218
01:30:06,213 --> 01:30:08,924
Don't be ashamed when l call
you black. You are.
1219
01:30:09,132 --> 01:30:12,052
You're black and you're beautiful.
Black is beautiful.
1220
01:30:12,260 --> 01:30:15,597
You don't have to come here
begging these folks for a job.
1221
01:30:15,806 --> 01:30:18,725
You can wash their clothes
and scrub floors for them.
1222
01:30:18,934 --> 01:30:22,270
You can rock their little
brats to sleep your whole life.
1223
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:23,939
You'll still end up poor.
1224
01:30:24,147 --> 01:30:27,275
Yet you're here on the auction block
being examined...
1225
01:30:27,484 --> 01:30:29,569
...like you're a horse or a slave.
1226
01:30:29,778 --> 01:30:32,697
You see this here?
This is who you are. Beautiful.
1227
01:30:32,906 --> 01:30:36,660
Your beautiful black selves,
with pride and dignity.
1228
01:30:39,162 --> 01:30:42,290
l'd also expect you to work one
Saturday every month...
1229
01:30:42,499 --> 01:30:45,210
...and occasionally in the evening--
1230
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:54,802
See, these are the questions
you and l have to ask:
1231
01:30:55,011 --> 01:30:56,471
"How did we get this mind?"
1232
01:30:56,679 --> 01:31:00,433
You're not an American, but an African
who happens to be in America.
1233
01:31:00,850 --> 01:31:02,518
You must understand the difference.
1234
01:31:02,727 --> 01:31:06,272
We didn't come over on the Nina,
the Pinta and the whatchamacallit.
1235
01:31:06,481 --> 01:31:10,234
We didn't land on Plymouth Rock.
Plymouth Rock landed on us.
1236
01:31:10,652 --> 01:31:13,154
Landed right on top of us.
1237
01:31:15,656 --> 01:31:16,699
Shorty?
1238
01:31:17,742 --> 01:31:19,410
ls that you, brother?
1239
01:31:19,619 --> 01:31:23,581
Now, this is exactly what l'm talking
about, the slave mentality...
1240
01:31:23,790 --> 01:31:24,832
...the slave mind.
1241
01:31:25,041 --> 01:31:26,918
This brother and l had
the slave mind.
1242
01:31:27,126 --> 01:31:30,046
We used to rob together.
We slept with white women.
1243
01:31:30,254 --> 01:31:31,923
We even went to prison together.
1244
01:31:32,131 --> 01:31:35,051
Don't be surprised.
Some of you are still in prison...
1245
01:31:35,259 --> 01:31:36,719
...prisons of your mind.
1246
01:31:36,928 --> 01:31:38,596
Stand up, brother.
Come on.
1247
01:31:40,056 --> 01:31:41,933
The brother's a little shy.
1248
01:31:42,141 --> 01:31:44,435
Come on, brother.
Give me a hug.
1249
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:47,980
That's all right, brother.
1250
01:31:49,440 --> 01:31:51,525
Look, he's still got his hair fried.
1251
01:31:51,734 --> 01:31:54,445
That's the slave mind.
1252
01:31:54,653 --> 01:31:57,782
Red, that's the best preacher hype
l ever did hear.
1253
01:31:57,990 --> 01:31:59,867
No hype, brother.
lt's the truth.
1254
01:32:00,076 --> 01:32:02,161
Come back to the temple
and hear more.
1255
01:32:02,369 --> 01:32:04,038
l can't pay that shit no mind.
1256
01:32:04,246 --> 01:32:06,749
You need to pay it all your mind.
What's left.
1257
01:32:06,749 --> 01:32:09,251
Take it easy.
This is me. Shorty.
1258
01:32:09,460 --> 01:32:11,128
Let's go around the corner....
1259
01:32:12,588 --> 01:32:15,925
No, sir. Not anymore.
l've been clean for eight years.
1260
01:32:16,133 --> 01:32:17,801
-Eight years?
-Eight years.
1261
01:32:18,010 --> 01:32:22,181
My trouble is, l love pigs feet
and white women too much.
1262
01:32:22,389 --> 01:32:24,683
So l damn sure can't be no Muslim.
1263
01:32:24,892 --> 01:32:28,645
That's because you're lost, brother.
That's because you're lost.
1264
01:32:29,271 --> 01:32:30,939
But we can find you.
1265
01:32:35,110 --> 01:32:37,196
What do you hear about
the old gang?
1266
01:32:37,613 --> 01:32:39,281
You heard about Sammy?
1267
01:32:39,490 --> 01:32:43,869
Dead. Knocked over in bed with
a chick 25 years younger than he was.
1268
01:32:44,077 --> 01:32:49,082
Had 25 grand in his pocket, also.
Guess it was his lucky number.
1269
01:32:49,708 --> 01:32:52,211
What about....
1270
01:32:52,419 --> 01:32:53,670
What was his name?
1271
01:32:53,879 --> 01:32:55,339
Cadillac?
1272
01:32:55,547 --> 01:32:56,590
Gone too?
1273
01:32:56,798 --> 01:33:00,969
Hooked on heroin. Been in and out
of Lexington five or six times.
1274
01:33:01,178 --> 01:33:02,012
Sophia?
1275
01:33:02,220 --> 01:33:04,514
Still happily married
to that rich ofay.
1276
01:33:04,723 --> 01:33:06,808
-She married him?
-She married him.
1277
01:33:07,434 --> 01:33:08,894
Went for the money.
1278
01:33:09,102 --> 01:33:11,605
-The money.
-Thank you, honey.
1279
01:33:13,273 --> 01:33:14,941
l haven't seen
West lndian Archie.
1280
01:33:15,150 --> 01:33:18,069
Grapevine says
he's living in the Bronx.
1281
01:33:18,278 --> 01:33:20,155
If you wanna call that living.
1282
01:33:20,363 --> 01:33:22,032
It's been good seeing you.
1283
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:23,909
Same here, Red.
1284
01:33:30,373 --> 01:33:34,961
Get the hell away from me, bitch!
1285
01:33:38,506 --> 01:33:41,009
l'll pay you tomorrow!
1286
01:33:55,607 --> 01:33:56,649
How you doing, Archie?
1287
01:33:57,275 --> 01:33:59,152
My man, Red.
1288
01:34:01,654 --> 01:34:03,114
Come here, man.
1289
01:34:07,493 --> 01:34:09,787
No, don't get up.
lt's all right.
1290
01:34:17,503 --> 01:34:18,963
ls...
1291
01:34:21,049 --> 01:34:22,717
...really you, Red?
1292
01:34:23,968 --> 01:34:25,219
Yes, it's me.
1293
01:34:29,807 --> 01:34:31,476
l came to...
1294
01:34:32,310 --> 01:34:33,978
...just to thank you...
1295
01:34:35,855 --> 01:34:37,523
...for saving my life.
1296
01:34:37,732 --> 01:34:41,277
When l think back to when
we were in Harlem trying to...
1297
01:34:41,485 --> 01:34:42,945
...gun each other down--
1298
01:34:43,154 --> 01:34:45,448
l wasn't going to shoot you, man.
1299
01:34:46,908 --> 01:34:47,950
lt was...
1300
01:34:48,576 --> 01:34:50,244
...just my rep.
1301
01:34:51,078 --> 01:34:52,121
You know?
1302
01:34:53,581 --> 01:34:56,292
All l had was my rep.
1303
01:34:57,960 --> 01:34:59,003
But now...
1304
01:35:01,505 --> 01:35:02,757
...you tell me this.
1305
01:35:03,382 --> 01:35:06,510
You did really have that number?
1306
01:35:08,387 --> 01:35:10,055
l don't know, Archie....
1307
01:35:10,473 --> 01:35:12,558
l don't remember,
and it's not important.
1308
01:35:12,766 --> 01:35:16,520
The important thing now
is to get you back on your feet.
1309
01:35:17,980 --> 01:35:20,482
You know, l have some angles...
1310
01:35:22,359 --> 01:35:24,236
...ain't been figured yet.
1311
01:35:32,161 --> 01:35:33,412
lt's all right.
1312
01:35:38,417 --> 01:35:40,294
Help me with my arm.
1313
01:35:41,754 --> 01:35:44,047
l need to exercise my arm.
1314
01:35:51,763 --> 01:35:53,015
That's better?
1315
01:35:53,223 --> 01:35:55,517
Yep.
lt feels good.
1316
01:35:55,726 --> 01:35:57,811
Good.
1317
01:36:01,773 --> 01:36:06,153
What happened to our women?
They could've been doctors, lawyers...
1318
01:36:06,361 --> 01:36:09,489
...or teachers or mothers.
Who'll raise our children?
1319
01:36:09,698 --> 01:36:11,366
What happened to our men?
1320
01:36:11,575 --> 01:36:15,746
Men who could've been mathematicians,
electricians, physicians.
1321
01:36:15,954 --> 01:36:18,248
What's the little boy gonna do...
1322
01:36:18,457 --> 01:36:21,585
...when he's looking for his father
who's in jail?
1323
01:36:21,793 --> 01:36:23,253
What'll the girl do...
1324
01:36:23,253 --> 01:36:27,215
...when she's looking for her mother
who's out selling herself?
1325
01:36:27,424 --> 01:36:32,220
I'm telling you, that devil has made
dead souls out of you and I.
1326
01:36:32,637 --> 01:36:34,306
You're dead, spiritually.
1327
01:36:34,514 --> 01:36:38,059
You're dead to the knowledge
of yourself and your people...
1328
01:36:38,268 --> 01:36:40,770
...and to the knowledge
of your God.
1329
01:36:40,770 --> 01:36:43,898
Why, he should get down on his knees.
1330
01:36:44,107 --> 01:36:45,358
He should beg our mercy.
1331
01:36:46,192 --> 01:36:47,861
Oh, my brothers and sisters...
1332
01:36:48,069 --> 01:36:50,572
...his kind has committed
God's greatest crime...
1333
01:36:50,780 --> 01:36:54,325
...against your and my kind
every day of his life!
1334
01:36:54,534 --> 01:36:58,288
He should get on his knees
and say he's committed a crime.
1335
01:36:58,496 --> 01:36:59,539
But does he do that?
1336
01:36:59,747 --> 01:37:02,876
Does he do that?
No, no, he scorns you.
1337
01:37:03,084 --> 01:37:05,170
He splits your head with
his nightstick.
1338
01:37:05,378 --> 01:37:08,089
He busts you in the head
with his billy club.
1339
01:37:08,298 --> 01:37:09,966
And he calls you a nigger...
1340
01:37:10,174 --> 01:37:13,928
...a coon. That's what he says to you.
"Boy!" "Nigger!"
1341
01:37:14,137 --> 01:37:16,222
Four hundred years is long enough.
1342
01:37:16,431 --> 01:37:19,767
You've sat down and laid down
and bowed down for 400 years.
1343
01:37:19,976 --> 01:37:23,730
l think it's time to stand up.
l think it's time to stand up.
1344
01:37:23,938 --> 01:37:25,815
-We're with you!
-All right.
1345
01:37:26,024 --> 01:37:26,858
Bless you.
1346
01:37:33,948 --> 01:37:36,659
Glory! My Lord!
Praise Him!
1347
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:52,717
Yes, sir.
Next Wednesday, 8:00.
1348
01:37:52,925 --> 01:37:54,385
l'll see you there.
1349
01:37:55,636 --> 01:37:57,722
Brother Baines?
Excuse me, sister.
1350
01:37:57,930 --> 01:38:00,850
Do you think we can get
a loudspeaker set up outside?
1351
01:38:01,058 --> 01:38:02,309
l'm sure we can.
1352
01:38:02,518 --> 01:38:04,603
Brother Malcolm,
this is Sister Betty.
1353
01:38:04,812 --> 01:38:07,523
She lectures our Muslim women
on hygiene and diet.
1354
01:38:07,732 --> 01:38:10,860
She stresses care for the body
and regular eating habits.
1355
01:38:11,277 --> 01:38:12,319
Good.
1356
01:38:12,528 --> 01:38:15,448
-As-Salaam-Alaikum.
-Alaikum-Salaam, sister.
1357
01:38:17,116 --> 01:38:18,576
Brother Minister...
1358
01:38:18,784 --> 01:38:22,329
...the sister wonders if you know
what Harriet Tubman did...
1359
01:38:22,538 --> 01:38:25,457
...between taking souls to the
Promised Land?
1360
01:38:25,666 --> 01:38:27,960
No. What's that, sister?
1361
01:38:29,211 --> 01:38:30,671
She ate.
1362
01:38:34,008 --> 01:38:35,467
Excuse me.
1363
01:38:44,435 --> 01:38:45,686
She's interesting.
1364
01:38:45,894 --> 01:38:49,231
Minister, l was hoping
you'd come and speak to my class.
1365
01:38:50,482 --> 01:38:52,359
Yes, l'll speak to your class.
1366
01:38:53,193 --> 01:38:55,904
-But l'm a hard man on the women.
-Are you?
1367
01:38:56,738 --> 01:38:59,241
We must be very careful
when it comes to women.
1368
01:38:59,449 --> 01:39:01,743
Too many of our women...
1369
01:39:02,786 --> 01:39:04,871
...have too much
of the devil in them.
1370
01:39:05,289 --> 01:39:07,374
Bleaching and dyeing...
1371
01:39:08,834 --> 01:39:11,128
...and ironing their hair.
1372
01:39:12,170 --> 01:39:16,133
Running around
in the streets half-naked.
1373
01:39:18,218 --> 01:39:19,469
Talking too much.
1374
01:39:19,678 --> 01:39:21,346
Listening to the wrong men...
1375
01:39:21,555 --> 01:39:25,100
...making them
deceitful, untrustworthy, fresh.
1376
01:39:25,308 --> 01:39:27,602
And you men are to blame too.
1377
01:39:27,811 --> 01:39:31,773
We don't protect, we don't value,
we don't even support them.
1378
01:39:32,399 --> 01:39:34,067
See, the building of
a new nation...
1379
01:39:35,110 --> 01:39:36,987
...begins with the woman.
1380
01:39:37,404 --> 01:39:39,281
Because the mother...
1381
01:39:39,698 --> 01:39:41,992
...is the first teacher of the child.
1382
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:45,954
The message she gives that child,
the child gives to the world.
1383
01:39:46,788 --> 01:39:50,125
When it comes to choosing a mate...
1384
01:39:50,750 --> 01:39:55,130
...Samson, the strongest man
that ever lived, was destroyed...
1385
01:39:55,338 --> 01:39:57,841
...by the woman
that slept in his arms.
1386
01:39:58,049 --> 01:40:00,552
Should l tell my sisters, then...
1387
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:03,054
...that we don't believe in marriage?
1388
01:40:03,263 --> 01:40:05,974
No, we don't oppose marriage.
1389
01:40:06,182 --> 01:40:08,059
We're not Catholic priests.
1390
01:40:08,268 --> 01:40:09,936
We don't believe in celibacy.
1391
01:40:10,145 --> 01:40:12,438
Mr. Muhammad teaches
that if a woman...
1392
01:40:12,647 --> 01:40:15,358
...is the right height
and complexion for a man--
1393
01:40:15,567 --> 01:40:16,818
lf she's...
1394
01:40:17,026 --> 01:40:18,903
...half the man's age, plus seven.
1395
01:40:21,197 --> 01:40:22,865
And if...
1396
01:40:23,074 --> 01:40:27,662
...she understands that man's
essential nature is strong...
1397
01:40:27,870 --> 01:40:29,956
...and she's
willing to support that.
1398
01:40:30,581 --> 01:40:32,041
And if she...
1399
01:40:32,667 --> 01:40:34,961
...can sew and cook and...
1400
01:40:35,586 --> 01:40:36,838
...loves children...
1401
01:40:37,046 --> 01:40:39,132
...and stays out of trouble....
1402
01:40:39,340 --> 01:40:42,468
l think you've made your points,
Brother Minister.
1403
01:40:42,677 --> 01:40:43,511
Good.
1404
01:40:43,719 --> 01:40:46,222
You haven't any time for marriage.
1405
01:40:48,099 --> 01:40:51,435
So what l'll do is
write the chapters down for you...
1406
01:40:51,853 --> 01:40:52,687
All right.
1407
01:40:52,895 --> 01:40:56,232
...as well as the New Testament
chapters in St. Matthew.
1408
01:40:56,440 --> 01:40:57,900
Brother Minister....
1409
01:40:58,109 --> 01:41:00,820
l hope you'll still
come visit my class, though.
1410
01:41:01,028 --> 01:41:03,948
No, l'd love to come to your class.
l love to teach.
1411
01:41:04,365 --> 01:41:07,910
l love sharing. This is the wonderful
thing about Mr. Muhammad:
1412
01:41:08,119 --> 01:41:12,289
When he gives you this knowledge,
you can't help but share it--
1413
01:41:12,498 --> 01:41:15,418
Excuse me, Brother Minister...
1414
01:41:15,626 --> 01:41:17,294
...would it be okay if we...
1415
01:41:17,503 --> 01:41:19,380
...just sat down for a moment?
1416
01:41:19,588 --> 01:41:22,091
lt's a big building and....
1417
01:41:23,968 --> 01:41:27,096
Sister, l'm sorry.
l've had you on your feet all day.
1418
01:41:27,930 --> 01:41:29,181
My mistake.
1419
01:41:29,390 --> 01:41:31,684
You've been on your feet for days.
1420
01:41:32,726 --> 01:41:36,063
And you didn't even finish your salad.
1421
01:41:38,565 --> 01:41:41,068
So let's talk about you
for a change.
1422
01:41:41,485 --> 01:41:42,945
How tall are you?
1423
01:41:44,405 --> 01:41:45,656
Why do you ask?
1424
01:41:45,864 --> 01:41:47,116
ldle question.
1425
01:41:47,533 --> 01:41:52,121
Well, if it's just an idle question,
l hope l'm not forced to answer.
1426
01:41:52,955 --> 01:41:55,666
No, l won't force you.
1427
01:42:00,671 --> 01:42:04,424
Brother Baines says that
l'm tall enough for a tall man.
1428
01:42:04,633 --> 01:42:06,301
He's briefed you also?
1429
01:42:08,595 --> 01:42:10,264
How old are you, sister?
1430
01:42:11,098 --> 01:42:14,226
You know, there are
a few things about women...
1431
01:42:14,434 --> 01:42:16,520
...that you don't understand.
1432
01:42:16,728 --> 01:42:20,065
Some of us, we're
quite possessive, very vain...
1433
01:42:20,691 --> 01:42:24,027
...and persistent when
we've set our mind to something.
1434
01:42:24,653 --> 01:42:27,155
What have you set your mind to?
1435
01:42:29,241 --> 01:42:30,909
Being a good Muslim...
1436
01:42:31,743 --> 01:42:33,411
...a good nurse...
1437
01:42:35,288 --> 01:42:36,748
...and a good wife.
1438
01:42:37,791 --> 01:42:39,042
Brother Malcolm?
1439
01:42:39,251 --> 01:42:40,710
-Excuse me.
-Certainly.
1440
01:42:40,919 --> 01:42:43,630
Brother Johnson was attacked
by the police.
1441
01:42:45,715 --> 01:42:46,550
Excuse me.
1442
01:42:46,758 --> 01:42:48,635
-A scuffle!
-He was just watching.
1443
01:42:48,843 --> 01:42:52,180
-The cop said, "Move on!"
-He didn't move quick enough for him.
1444
01:42:52,389 --> 01:42:54,683
Crack! He was bleeding
like a stuck hog.
1445
01:42:54,891 --> 01:42:56,977
So what you gonna do?
1446
01:42:57,602 --> 01:43:00,522
He'll rap a little.
He's a Muslim!
1447
01:43:00,730 --> 01:43:03,650
But you ain't gonna do nothing
but make a speech.
1448
01:43:04,275 --> 01:43:07,404
Muslims talk a good game,
but they never do nothing...
1449
01:43:07,821 --> 01:43:10,740
...unless somebody bothers Muslims.
1450
01:43:31,386 --> 01:43:33,262
We demand to see Brother Johnson.
1451
01:43:33,471 --> 01:43:35,139
Who the hell are you?
1452
01:43:35,348 --> 01:43:37,225
The minister
of Muslim Temple No. 7.
1453
01:43:37,433 --> 01:43:39,102
Never heard of you.
1454
01:43:39,310 --> 01:43:40,978
-Where is he?
-Not here.
1455
01:43:40,978 --> 01:43:43,272
Wait a second.
What is your name?
1456
01:43:43,481 --> 01:43:45,775
Don't worry about what my name is.
1457
01:43:45,983 --> 01:43:49,737
Two witnesses saw Johnson brought here
beat up, but not brought out.
1458
01:43:49,946 --> 01:43:53,074
You didn't hear the sergeant?
Outside!
1459
01:43:53,282 --> 01:43:55,785
l suggest you look outside
that window.
1460
01:44:07,254 --> 01:44:08,714
Jimmy, come here a second.
1461
01:44:08,923 --> 01:44:11,217
We intend to see Brother Johnson.
1462
01:44:12,051 --> 01:44:13,302
Who the hell are they?
1463
01:44:13,511 --> 01:44:15,805
They're brothers of Brother Johnson.
1464
01:44:19,975 --> 01:44:22,061
Eddie, let me take a look
at that blotter.
1465
01:44:32,071 --> 01:44:34,365
We got a Muslim.
Relief must've put it down.
1466
01:44:34,573 --> 01:44:36,659
-Must have.
-But you can't see him.
1467
01:44:36,867 --> 01:44:39,787
-Because you ain't his lawyer.
-No lawyer, no see.
1468
01:44:39,995 --> 01:44:44,375
Until l'm satisfied that Johnson
is receiving proper medical care...
1469
01:44:44,583 --> 01:44:46,251
...nobody will move.
1470
01:45:01,266 --> 01:45:03,143
Get an ambulance. Now!
1471
01:45:21,912 --> 01:45:23,997
Break it up. You got what you wanted.
1472
01:45:24,206 --> 01:45:26,708
No, l'm not satisfied.
1473
01:45:27,751 --> 01:45:28,585
To the hospital.
1474
01:47:28,287 --> 01:47:31,415
We want justice!
We want justice!
1475
01:47:32,249 --> 01:47:33,709
All right, that's enough.
1476
01:47:33,918 --> 01:47:35,586
Move these people out of here.
1477
01:47:35,794 --> 01:47:40,174
Fruit of lslam are disciplined men.
They haven't broken any laws...yet.
1478
01:47:40,382 --> 01:47:41,425
What about them?
1479
01:47:41,634 --> 01:47:43,093
That's your headache.
1480
01:47:43,302 --> 01:47:45,596
But if Brother Johnson dies,
l pity you.
1481
01:47:47,056 --> 01:47:47,890
Doctor?
1482
01:47:48,098 --> 01:47:50,601
He'll live. He's getting
the best care we have.
1483
01:47:50,809 --> 01:47:52,061
-Thank you.
-Certainly.
1484
01:47:53,103 --> 01:47:54,772
All right, okay.
1485
01:47:55,189 --> 01:47:56,857
Now, let's disperse this mob!
1486
01:48:49,618 --> 01:48:52,537
That's too much power
for one man to have.
1487
01:48:52,746 --> 01:48:55,874
Brother Minister, l'm ready
to take some heads.
1488
01:48:56,082 --> 01:48:58,376
We gotta do something
to put fear in those devils.
1489
01:48:58,585 --> 01:49:02,756
l'm ready to do something also. The
word out of Chicago was to be patient.
1490
01:49:02,964 --> 01:49:05,884
-l'm tired of being patient.
-Then you get on the phone--
1491
01:49:06,718 --> 01:49:09,846
You get on the phone, call Chicago
and let Mr. Muhammad know.
1492
01:49:27,155 --> 01:49:28,615
Have a seat, son.
1493
01:49:32,368 --> 01:49:34,454
The only thing l like integrated...
1494
01:49:36,122 --> 01:49:36,956
...is my coffee.
1495
01:49:39,042 --> 01:49:40,501
What can l do for you?
1496
01:49:43,838 --> 01:49:45,506
Well, Mr. X...
1497
01:49:46,966 --> 01:49:48,634
...my name is Benjamin.
1498
01:49:49,052 --> 01:49:51,137
l was out there tonight.
1499
01:49:51,554 --> 01:49:53,014
Take it easy now.
1500
01:49:53,431 --> 01:49:55,933
And l saw what it is that you did.
1501
01:49:56,142 --> 01:49:58,853
The way you talked
to them policeman and all.
1502
01:50:03,232 --> 01:50:04,692
Well, Mr. X...
1503
01:50:07,403 --> 01:50:09,280
...l want to be a Muslim.
1504
01:50:09,488 --> 01:50:12,408
l ain't never seen a nigger--
l mean...
1505
01:50:12,617 --> 01:50:13,868
...colored person--
1506
01:50:15,745 --> 01:50:16,996
Negro...
1507
01:50:17,830 --> 01:50:20,124
...talk to no police like that before.
1508
01:50:20,333 --> 01:50:23,252
And you want to be Muslim?
Join the Nation Of lslam?
1509
01:50:23,461 --> 01:50:26,380
You know what that means?
To be a Muslim?
1510
01:50:28,466 --> 01:50:29,717
Do you?
1511
01:50:33,262 --> 01:50:36,182
No, not exactly.
But l wanna be one.
1512
01:50:36,599 --> 01:50:37,641
Just like you.
1513
01:50:37,850 --> 01:50:41,812
You shouldn't join any organization
unless you know what it's about.
1514
01:50:48,485 --> 01:50:49,737
Thank you.
1515
01:50:51,405 --> 01:50:53,907
You shouldn't give up
so easily either.
1516
01:50:55,784 --> 01:50:59,121
We could use more young warriors
like yourself.
1517
01:50:59,330 --> 01:51:01,832
Come on by the temple
next Wednesday, 8:00.
1518
01:51:02,041 --> 01:51:03,292
8:00 sharp.
1519
01:51:03,500 --> 01:51:05,169
Yes, sir. 8:00 sharp.
1520
01:51:05,377 --> 01:51:08,714
Thank you, Mr. X. And l won't
make you out a liar either.
1521
01:51:08,922 --> 01:51:10,174
l don't think you will.
1522
01:51:23,312 --> 01:51:24,771
Tonight, l shall...
1523
01:51:25,397 --> 01:51:29,359
...introduce you
as my national minister.
1524
01:51:30,611 --> 01:51:32,904
lt will be a difficult task.
1525
01:51:33,322 --> 01:51:34,990
Your assignment...
1526
01:51:35,824 --> 01:51:38,535
...is to build temples
all over this nation.
1527
01:51:39,578 --> 01:51:41,663
More work than you've ever done.
1528
01:51:41,872 --> 01:51:42,914
Yes, sir.
1529
01:51:43,123 --> 01:51:45,208
You will be in the public eye.
1530
01:51:45,417 --> 01:51:48,128
Beware of them cameras.
1531
01:51:50,422 --> 01:51:51,673
Them cameras are...
1532
01:51:52,507 --> 01:51:54,801
...bad as any narcotic.
1533
01:51:57,721 --> 01:52:00,432
White devil will be watching
your every step.
1534
01:52:01,057 --> 01:52:03,560
And your own brothers will be...
1535
01:52:04,603 --> 01:52:06,062
...jealous...
1536
01:52:06,688 --> 01:52:08,356
...hostile.
1537
01:52:09,399 --> 01:52:10,650
Go slowly.
1538
01:52:10,859 --> 01:52:12,110
Yes, sir.
1539
01:52:13,361 --> 01:52:14,821
Here's a glass.
1540
01:52:21,703 --> 01:52:23,580
lt's dirty water.
1541
01:52:23,788 --> 01:52:24,831
Foul.
1542
01:52:26,708 --> 01:52:29,210
lf you offer this to the people...
1543
01:52:29,419 --> 01:52:31,296
...they have no choice.
1544
01:52:31,713 --> 01:52:33,173
They'll drink from it...
1545
01:52:34,007 --> 01:52:35,675
...if they're thirsty.
1546
01:52:36,509 --> 01:52:38,386
But if you offer them...
1547
01:52:39,220 --> 01:52:40,889
...this glass...
1548
01:52:43,808 --> 01:52:46,936
...and let them make
their own decision...
1549
01:52:47,770 --> 01:52:51,107
...they will choose the pure vessel.
1550
01:52:52,984 --> 01:52:54,444
lslam is...
1551
01:52:55,069 --> 01:52:57,155
...the only religion...
1552
01:52:58,406 --> 01:53:01,534
...that addresses
the needs and the problems...
1553
01:53:01,743 --> 01:53:05,913
...of the so-called Negro in America.
Especially in the slums...
1554
01:53:06,122 --> 01:53:07,582
...in the ghettos.
1555
01:53:08,207 --> 01:53:12,378
lslam is the only way out
for drugs and crime...
1556
01:53:12,587 --> 01:53:14,881
...and unemployment, prostitution...
1557
01:53:15,089 --> 01:53:16,549
...alcohol...
1558
01:53:16,757 --> 01:53:18,217
...gambling...
1559
01:53:18,426 --> 01:53:20,720
...and adultery, fornication.
1560
01:53:21,971 --> 01:53:23,014
This sweet...
1561
01:53:23,431 --> 01:53:27,601
...gentle man, at whose feet I kneeled,
gave me the truth from his own mouth.
1562
01:53:28,019 --> 01:53:29,061
Present the pure vessel.
1563
01:53:29,270 --> 01:53:33,649
I adored him in the sense of
the Latin root of the word adorare...
1564
01:53:33,858 --> 01:53:35,943
...which means to worship and to fear.
1565
01:53:36,569 --> 01:53:38,237
He was the first man I ever feared.
1566
01:53:38,446 --> 01:53:41,157
I don't mean fear
such as one has of a gun...
1567
01:53:41,365 --> 01:53:45,119
...but the fear one has
of the power of the sun.
1568
01:53:45,536 --> 01:53:48,664
I pledged myself to him,
even if it cost me my life.
1569
01:53:52,209 --> 01:53:54,086
-Hello?
-Hello, Betty?
1570
01:53:54,295 --> 01:53:55,546
Yeah, this is Malcolm.
1571
01:53:55,963 --> 01:53:58,674
-l know.
-Right, I'm here in Detroit.
1572
01:54:02,636 --> 01:54:04,722
-Will you marry me?
-Yes.
1573
01:54:05,139 --> 01:54:06,598
You heard what I said, right?
1574
01:54:06,807 --> 01:54:09,309
-Did you hear my answer?
-Yes, l think so.
1575
01:54:11,812 --> 01:54:14,523
-Are you eating?
-l've been eating.
1576
01:54:14,732 --> 01:54:15,774
Good.
1577
01:54:16,608 --> 01:54:17,860
I love you, Betty.
1578
01:54:20,571 --> 01:54:22,447
I love you back.
1579
01:54:32,666 --> 01:54:34,126
lt's not gonna be easy.
1580
01:54:34,334 --> 01:54:35,794
No choice.
1581
01:54:36,420 --> 01:54:38,088
l'll be away a lot.
1582
01:54:38,922 --> 01:54:40,173
l know.
1583
01:54:42,884 --> 01:54:44,970
ln fact, l'm leaving in the morning.
1584
01:54:44,970 --> 01:54:46,638
Hush, now.
1585
01:54:47,472 --> 01:54:49,558
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia...
1586
01:54:51,226 --> 01:54:54,980
...Trenton, Newark, up through number 7
all the way up to Boston.
1587
01:55:01,862 --> 01:55:03,530
You're with me...
1588
01:55:04,781 --> 01:55:06,658
...even when you're away.
1589
01:55:23,341 --> 01:55:25,635
l've never told you this...
1590
01:55:28,138 --> 01:55:31,057
...but the very first time
l ever saw you...
1591
01:55:32,100 --> 01:55:34,185
...standing up on the podium...
1592
01:55:36,896 --> 01:55:38,982
...you were cleaning your glasses...
1593
01:55:41,693 --> 01:55:44,404
...and l felt so sorry for you.
1594
01:55:45,446 --> 01:55:46,698
Sorry for me?
1595
01:55:47,115 --> 01:55:48,157
Why?
1596
01:55:48,366 --> 01:55:52,954
Because no one as young as you
should be so serious.
1597
01:55:55,873 --> 01:55:57,959
But l don't think that anymore.
1598
01:55:58,584 --> 01:55:59,836
What do you think?
1599
01:56:02,964 --> 01:56:05,883
l want to have
a lot of babies with you.
1600
01:56:09,637 --> 01:56:11,097
Dear heart.
1601
01:56:13,599 --> 01:56:15,059
l love you.
1602
01:56:17,353 --> 01:56:20,273
We're waiting on you folks.
Trying to starve us?
1603
01:56:23,609 --> 01:56:25,695
Brother Malcolm, Sister Betty...
1604
01:56:25,903 --> 01:56:30,491
...we pray that Allah blesses you
with a happy and fruitful marriage.
1605
01:56:33,619 --> 01:56:35,913
Congratulations, Brother Minister.
1606
01:56:38,207 --> 01:56:40,501
Check them out. Front page!
1607
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:49,885
l must emphasize at the start that
Elijah Muhammad is not a politician.
1608
01:56:50,511 --> 01:56:55,307
So l'm not here this afternoon
as a Republican nor as a Democrat.
1609
01:56:56,767 --> 01:56:59,478
Not as a Mason nor as an Elk.
1610
01:57:00,938 --> 01:57:03,649
Not as a Protestant nor a Catholic.
1611
01:57:03,857 --> 01:57:06,568
Not as a Christian nor a Jew.
1612
01:57:06,777 --> 01:57:09,071
Not as a Baptist nor a Methodist.
1613
01:57:09,279 --> 01:57:11,573
ln fact, not even as an American.
1614
01:57:12,408 --> 01:57:14,493
Because if l was an American...
1615
01:57:14,702 --> 01:57:18,247
...the problem that confronts our people
today wouldn't even exist.
1616
01:57:21,792 --> 01:57:25,129
So l have to stand here today
as what l was when l was born...
1617
01:57:25,546 --> 01:57:27,005
...a black man.
1618
01:57:31,593 --> 01:57:36,390
Before there was any such thing as a
Republican or a Democrat, we were black.
1619
01:57:36,598 --> 01:57:40,352
Before there was any such thing
as a Mason or an Elk, we were black.
1620
01:57:40,561 --> 01:57:44,731
Before there was any such thing as a Jew
or a Christian, we were black people.
1621
01:57:44,940 --> 01:57:49,319
ln fact, before there was any such place
as America, we were black.
1622
01:57:49,736 --> 01:57:53,073
And after America has long passed
from the scene...
1623
01:57:53,281 --> 01:57:55,784
...there will still be black people.
1624
01:57:56,827 --> 01:57:59,538
l'm gonna tell you like it really is!
1625
01:58:00,163 --> 01:58:04,960
Every election year, these politicians
are sent up here to pacify us.
1626
01:58:05,168 --> 01:58:08,088
They're sent here and set up here
by the white man.
1627
01:58:08,296 --> 01:58:09,548
This is what they do.
1628
01:58:09,756 --> 01:58:12,676
They send drugs in Harlem down here
to pacify us!
1629
01:58:12,884 --> 01:58:15,595
They send alcohol down here
to pacify us!
1630
01:58:15,804 --> 01:58:18,723
They send prostitution down here
to pacify us!
1631
01:58:18,932 --> 01:58:22,269
You can't get drugs in Harlem
without the white man's permission.
1632
01:58:22,477 --> 01:58:25,814
You can't get prostitution in Harlem
without the white man's permission.
1633
01:58:26,022 --> 01:58:29,150
You can't get gambling in Harlem
without the white man's permission.
1634
01:58:29,359 --> 01:58:32,278
Every time you break the seal
on that liquor bottle...
1635
01:58:32,487 --> 01:58:34,989
...that's a government seal
you're breaking.
1636
01:58:35,198 --> 01:58:39,160
l say, and l say it again,
you been had.
1637
01:58:39,369 --> 01:58:40,829
You been took.
1638
01:58:41,037 --> 01:58:42,705
You been hoodwinked.
1639
01:58:42,914 --> 01:58:45,625
Bamboozled. Led astray.
1640
01:58:45,834 --> 01:58:48,336
Run amuck. This is what he does.
1641
01:58:48,545 --> 01:58:51,256
You know, some people
call this hate-teaching.
1642
01:58:51,673 --> 01:58:53,550
This isn't hate-teaching.
1643
01:58:53,758 --> 01:58:55,426
This is love-teaching.
1644
01:58:56,052 --> 01:58:58,554
l wouldn't tell you this
if l didn't love you.
1645
01:58:58,763 --> 01:59:01,474
l wouldn't stick my neck out for you
if l didn't love you.
1646
01:58:59,597 --> 01:59:02,517
l want you to understand one thing:
Everything l teach you...
1647
01:59:05,125 --> 01:59:07,002
...everything l have said to you...
1648
01:59:07,419 --> 01:59:10,339
...has been taught to me
by this dear man.
1649
01:59:10,547 --> 01:59:11,799
This divine man.
1650
01:59:13,467 --> 01:59:16,804
All praise is due to Allah
for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
1651
01:59:17,638 --> 01:59:19,306
Attallah's fine.
1652
01:59:19,515 --> 01:59:22,226
And she misses you as much as I do.
1653
01:59:22,643 --> 01:59:26,813
But the news that you've dedicated
four new temples is almost as good...
1654
01:59:27,022 --> 01:59:30,359
...as having you with us.
Oh, dear heart.
1655
01:59:30,567 --> 01:59:35,364
--white supremacy, try to hide their
guilt by accusing Elijah Muhammad...
1656
01:59:35,572 --> 01:59:37,240
...of being a black supremacist...
1657
01:59:37,449 --> 01:59:40,160
...simply because he's trying
to uplift the mentality...
1658
01:59:40,369 --> 01:59:43,288
...the social and economic condition
of his people.
1659
01:59:43,497 --> 01:59:47,459
And the Jews who have been guilty
of exploiting black people...
1660
01:59:47,667 --> 01:59:51,004
...try to hide their guilt
by accusing Elijah Muhammad...
1661
01:59:51,213 --> 01:59:53,298
...of being anti-Semitic...
1662
01:59:53,507 --> 01:59:56,843
...simply because he's trying
to teach you and l--
1663
01:59:57,052 --> 01:59:59,137
He's trying to teach you and I...
1664
01:59:59,346 --> 02:00:02,474
...to be in charge of the businesses
in our own community.
1665
02:00:02,682 --> 02:00:05,393
To own the businesses
in our own community.
1666
02:00:05,602 --> 02:00:08,313
To have economic leadership
in our own community.
1667
02:00:09,147 --> 02:00:11,024
No, this isn't black supremacy...
1668
02:00:11,232 --> 02:00:13,735
...this is black intelligence.
1669
02:00:30,627 --> 02:00:32,921
The black people in this country...
1670
02:00:33,129 --> 02:00:35,632
...have been the victims
of violence...
1671
02:00:36,049 --> 02:00:38,760
...at the hands
of the American right wing...
1672
02:00:38,968 --> 02:00:42,096
...for 400 years.
1673
02:00:42,513 --> 02:00:44,599
Four hundred years.
1674
02:00:45,224 --> 02:00:46,893
Four hundred years.
1675
02:00:49,187 --> 02:00:52,315
We thought by following
those ignorant Negro preachers...
1676
02:00:52,523 --> 02:00:55,026
...that it was God-like
to turn the other cheek...
1677
02:00:55,234 --> 02:00:57,737
...to the group
that was brutalizing us.
1678
02:00:58,154 --> 02:01:01,699
A hundred years ago,
they used to put on white sheets...
1679
02:01:01,908 --> 02:01:04,202
...and sic bloodhounds on us.
1680
02:01:04,410 --> 02:01:06,704
Nowadays, they've traded in
the sheets--
1681
02:01:06,913 --> 02:01:08,581
Some have traded in the sheets--
1682
02:01:10,041 --> 02:01:12,126
They've traded in the sheets--
1683
02:01:12,335 --> 02:01:13,586
Please, please.
1684
02:01:13,794 --> 02:01:17,131
They've traded in those white sheets
for police uniforms.
1685
02:01:17,548 --> 02:01:20,676
They traded in the bloodhounds
for police dogs.
1686
02:01:20,885 --> 02:01:23,387
Andjust like Uncle Tom
back during slavery time....
1687
02:01:23,596 --> 02:01:28,184
We must remain true to nonviolence.
I'm asking everybody in the line.
1688
02:01:28,601 --> 02:01:31,103
If you can't be nonviolent,
don't get in it.
1689
02:01:31,312 --> 02:01:34,231
--to love our enemy and pray
for those who use us spitefully.
1690
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:38,611
You've got chicken-pecking Uncle Tom,
so-called Negro leaders today.
1691
02:01:38,819 --> 02:01:40,905
And it's another great day.
1692
02:01:41,113 --> 02:01:44,867
You've got these Uncle Tom
Negro leaders today...
1693
02:01:45,075 --> 02:01:47,786
...that tell us we ought to pray
for our enemies.
1694
02:01:47,995 --> 02:01:51,123
We ought to love our enemy
and integrate with the enemy...
1695
02:01:51,332 --> 02:01:54,877
...who bombs us, who kills
and shoots us, who lynches us...
1696
02:01:55,085 --> 02:01:58,005
...who rapes our women
and children. No!
1697
02:02:00,299 --> 02:02:02,384
No! That's not intelligent.
1698
02:02:02,593 --> 02:02:04,470
That's not intelligent.
1699
02:02:04,678 --> 02:02:07,389
Elijah Muhammad is trying
to teach you and l...
1700
02:02:07,598 --> 02:02:10,934
...that just as the white man
and any other man on this earth...
1701
02:02:11,143 --> 02:02:14,480
...has the God-given right,
the human right, the civil right...
1702
02:02:14,688 --> 02:02:17,608
...the natural right, and any other
rights you can think of...
1703
02:02:17,816 --> 02:02:19,693
...to protect himself...
1704
02:02:19,902 --> 02:02:23,447
...just as this white man has
the right to defend himself...
1705
02:02:23,655 --> 02:02:26,366
...we have the right
to defend ourselves too.
1706
02:02:26,992 --> 02:02:31,371
This is only natural. This is what
Elijah Muhammad is trying to teach.
1707
02:02:31,580 --> 02:02:33,457
He's not teaching us
to hate the white man.
1708
02:02:33,665 --> 02:02:36,168
He's teaching us to love ourselves.
1709
02:02:37,419 --> 02:02:41,381
Mr. X, before we begin
our discussion tonight...
1710
02:02:41,590 --> 02:02:44,926
... "The Black Muslims: Hate Mongers"...
1711
02:02:45,761 --> 02:02:49,306
...would you mind explaining for us
the meaning of your name...
1712
02:02:49,514 --> 02:02:51,808
...which is the letter "X"?
1713
02:02:52,434 --> 02:02:55,353
During slavery time,
the slave master...
1714
02:02:55,562 --> 02:02:58,064
...gave the Negro--
the so-called Negro...
1715
02:02:58,273 --> 02:03:01,401
...named the so-called Negro
after themselves.
1716
02:03:02,652 --> 02:03:04,321
Elijah Muhammad teaches us...
1717
02:03:04,529 --> 02:03:08,283
...that once we come into the knowledge
of lslam, the knowledge of ourselves...
1718
02:03:08,491 --> 02:03:10,994
...we replace our slave name
with an "X" ...
1719
02:03:11,202 --> 02:03:14,122
..."X" in mathematics representing
the unknown.
1720
02:03:14,539 --> 02:03:17,459
Since we've been disconnected,
or cut off from our own history...
1721
02:03:17,667 --> 02:03:20,795
...our own past, our own culture,
our own land...
1722
02:03:21,004 --> 02:03:24,549
...we use the "X," the unknown,
until we get back to our country.
1723
02:03:24,758 --> 02:03:28,094
l see. Thank you. Dr. Payson?
1724
02:03:28,303 --> 02:03:31,014
Mr. X is a....
He's a demagogue.
1725
02:03:31,222 --> 02:03:33,933
He has no place to go,
so he exaggerates.
1726
02:03:34,142 --> 02:03:35,393
He's a disservice to...
1727
02:03:35,602 --> 02:03:39,564
...every good, law-abiding, church-going
American Negro in the country.
1728
02:03:43,526 --> 02:03:46,654
Why do you teach black supremacy?
1729
02:03:46,863 --> 02:03:48,740
Why do you teach hate?
1730
02:03:48,948 --> 02:03:51,451
Well, for the white man...
1731
02:03:51,659 --> 02:03:54,162
...to ask the black man...
1732
02:03:54,579 --> 02:03:56,039
...why he hates him...
1733
02:03:56,247 --> 02:04:00,209
...is like the wolf asking the sheep,
or the rapist asking the raped...
1734
02:04:00,418 --> 02:04:01,461
..."Do you hate me?"
1735
02:04:01,669 --> 02:04:05,214
The white man is in no moral position
to accuse the black man of anything.
1736
02:04:05,423 --> 02:04:07,508
This is a black man
asking the question.
1737
02:04:07,717 --> 02:04:11,888
What would you call an educated Negro
with a B. A., an M. A., a B. S. or a Ph. D.?
1738
02:04:12,096 --> 02:04:15,433
You call him a nigger.
That's what the white man calls him.
1739
02:04:15,641 --> 02:04:17,935
You have to understand this thinking.
1740
02:04:18,144 --> 02:04:21,689
To understand this type of man,
you must understand that historically...
1741
02:04:21,898 --> 02:04:25,651
...there were two types of slaves:
The house Negro and the field Negro.
1742
02:04:25,860 --> 02:04:27,528
The house Negro lived in the house...
1743
02:04:27,737 --> 02:04:31,490
...next to his master. ln the big house,
in the basement or the attic.
1744
02:04:31,699 --> 02:04:34,410
He dressed good, he ate good,
what the master left him.
1745
02:04:34,618 --> 02:04:36,287
He loved his master.
1746
02:04:36,495 --> 02:04:39,623
He loved his master better
than the master loved himself.
1747
02:04:39,832 --> 02:04:44,211
lf master said, "We got a nice house,"
you say, "Yeah, we got a nice house."
1748
02:04:44,628 --> 02:04:46,922
Master's house caught on fire,
the house Negro...
1749
02:04:47,339 --> 02:04:48,591
...would put the blaze out.
1750
02:04:48,799 --> 02:04:52,136
lf the master got sick, he'd say,
"What's the matter? We sick?"
1751
02:04:52,553 --> 02:04:55,264
"We sick" ! This is the thinking
of the house Negro.
1752
02:04:55,472 --> 02:04:57,141
lf another slave said...
1753
02:04:57,349 --> 02:05:00,269
..."Let's run away, let's separate
from this cruel master" ...
1754
02:05:00,477 --> 02:05:03,397
...he said, "Why? What's better
than what we got here?
1755
02:05:03,606 --> 02:05:06,108
l'm not going anywhere."
This is the house Negro.
1756
02:05:06,317 --> 02:05:07,985
ln those days, we called them
house niggers.
1757
02:05:08,193 --> 02:05:12,364
That's what we call them today because
we still got a lot of house niggers.
1758
02:05:13,198 --> 02:05:14,450
Dear Holy Apostle...
1759
02:05:16,326 --> 02:05:19,663
...the ministers think Malcolm is
getting too much press.
1760
02:05:20,914 --> 02:05:23,417
They think he thinks he is
the Nation of lslam.
1761
02:05:25,294 --> 02:05:28,005
That he has aspirations
to lead the Nation.
1762
02:05:29,047 --> 02:05:31,967
lt was you who made Malcolm
the man he is.
1763
02:05:32,176 --> 02:05:33,635
You lifted him out of darkness.
1764
02:05:37,389 --> 02:05:39,891
You go and tell the brothers...
1765
02:05:40,726 --> 02:05:42,394
...that what the Brother Minister...
1766
02:05:42,811 --> 02:05:44,688
...is doing, has done...
1767
02:05:44,896 --> 02:05:49,276
...has been of great benefit
to the Nation.
1768
02:05:49,484 --> 02:05:51,570
And you tell them that l say so.
1769
02:05:51,778 --> 02:05:54,489
The ministers think he is
of great benefit to himself.
1770
02:06:04,082 --> 02:06:05,125
One at a time.
1771
02:06:05,333 --> 02:06:08,253
-Did you say white people are devils?
-I said they're devils.
1772
02:06:08,461 --> 02:06:10,338
Should all black men be armed?
1773
02:06:10,547 --> 02:06:12,841
Well, one of your most
famous men said:
1774
02:06:13,049 --> 02:06:16,595
"Praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition." That's the way you think.
1775
02:06:16,803 --> 02:06:19,097
Do you think your cause
will be successful?
1776
02:06:19,306 --> 02:06:20,557
I sincerely hope so.
1777
02:06:20,765 --> 02:06:23,059
-Do you advocate violence?
-No, sir.
1778
02:06:23,268 --> 02:06:25,562
Has a white man helped your people?
1779
02:06:25,770 --> 02:06:28,273
Has there been a white man
that's helped my people?
1780
02:06:28,481 --> 02:06:30,775
-Correct.
-I don't understand the question.
1781
02:06:30,984 --> 02:06:33,069
You preach anti-white,
anti-Christian science.
1782
02:06:33,278 --> 02:06:35,155
You're saying you're anti-white?
1783
02:06:35,363 --> 02:06:38,283
-No, you're saying it.
-Are all white people devils?
1784
02:06:38,908 --> 02:06:42,453
We've gotta move out.
We've got a plane to catch.
1785
02:06:44,956 --> 02:06:47,458
Excuse me, Mr. X?
1786
02:06:48,084 --> 02:06:49,961
l've read some of your speeches...
1787
02:06:50,169 --> 02:06:53,923
...and l honestly believe that a lot
of what you have to say is true.
1788
02:06:54,132 --> 02:06:57,260
l'm a good person in spite
of what my ancestors did.
1789
02:06:57,468 --> 02:06:59,345
l just wanted to ask you...
1790
02:06:59,554 --> 02:07:02,473
...what can a white person
like me, who isn't prejudiced...
1791
02:07:02,682 --> 02:07:06,227
...what can l do to help you
and further your cause?
1792
02:07:06,436 --> 02:07:07,687
Nothing.
1793
02:07:15,194 --> 02:07:17,488
My high school was a black ghetto...
1794
02:07:17,697 --> 02:07:19,991
...in Roxbury, right here in Boston.
1795
02:07:20,825 --> 02:07:24,370
I got my college education on
the streets of Harlem in New York City.
1796
02:07:25,204 --> 02:07:27,707
l took my master's degree in prison...
1797
02:07:28,124 --> 02:07:29,792
...over six and a half years.
1798
02:07:30,001 --> 02:07:31,252
ln fact...
1799
02:07:31,252 --> 02:07:35,006
...my old burglary hangout
was just outside this campus.
1800
02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:37,300
l lived like an animal.
1801
02:07:38,134 --> 02:07:39,593
l stole.
1802
02:07:40,011 --> 02:07:41,679
l used drugs.
1803
02:07:42,722 --> 02:07:45,850
l smoked reefers, cocaine.
1804
02:07:46,058 --> 02:07:49,812
l committed adultery. Had it not been
for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad...
1805
02:07:50,438 --> 02:07:53,357
...l'd have surely been in
an insane asylum or dead...
1806
02:07:53,566 --> 02:07:56,277
...or possibly even a murderer
of one of you.
1807
02:07:56,485 --> 02:08:00,656
So what is Mr. Muhammad trying to do?
He's trying to get us on God's side...
1808
02:08:01,073 --> 02:08:04,618
...so that God will be on our side
and help us fight our battles.
1809
02:08:04,827 --> 02:08:07,746
When the so-called Negro in America
gets on God's side...
1810
02:08:07,955 --> 02:08:10,457
...and listens to the teachings
of Elijah Muhammad...
1811
02:08:10,666 --> 02:08:14,211
...he'll want to get off of drugs
and get away from a life of crime.
1812
02:08:14,420 --> 02:08:16,922
He'll want to get away
from committing adultery.
1813
02:08:17,131 --> 02:08:20,050
Then he'd want to get off welfare.
He'd want a job...
1814
02:08:20,259 --> 02:08:23,804
...to take care of his family.
And his family would respect him.
1815
02:08:24,012 --> 02:08:26,515
His son will say,
"l'm proud that that's my father."
1816
02:08:26,723 --> 02:08:29,435
His wife will say,
"l'm proud that that's my husband."
1817
02:08:29,643 --> 02:08:34,231
"Father" only means that you take care
of your children. That's what it is.
1818
02:08:34,439 --> 02:08:37,568
"Father" doesn't mean
that you're having some babies.
1819
02:08:37,776 --> 02:08:39,236
That doesn't make you a father.
1820
02:08:39,444 --> 02:08:41,321
Anybody can go out and get a woman.
1821
02:08:41,530 --> 02:08:44,449
But not anybody can take care
of that woman.
1822
02:08:44,658 --> 02:08:47,369
There's another word for it.
lt's called responsibility.
1823
02:08:47,995 --> 02:08:52,374
lf the so-called Negro in America
was truly an American citizen...
1824
02:08:52,582 --> 02:08:54,459
...we wouldn't have a racial problem.
1825
02:08:54,668 --> 02:08:57,796
lf the Emancipation Proclamation
was authentic...
1826
02:08:58,422 --> 02:09:00,716
...if the 13th, 14th and 15th
amendments...
1827
02:09:00,924 --> 02:09:03,635
...were authentic,
we wouldn't have a race problem.
1828
02:09:03,844 --> 02:09:06,763
lf the Supreme Court desegregation
decision were authentic...
1829
02:09:06,972 --> 02:09:08,431
...we wouldn't have a race problem.
1830
02:09:09,266 --> 02:09:12,185
But you have to see
that all of this is hypocrisy.
1831
02:09:12,394 --> 02:09:15,105
These Negro leaders are telling
the white man...
1832
02:09:15,313 --> 02:09:18,233
...that everything's all right,
we got it under control.
1833
02:09:18,441 --> 02:09:21,152
That everything Elijah Muhammad
teaches is wrong.
1834
02:09:21,361 --> 02:09:24,698
Mr. Muhammad said these things
were gonna come to pass...
1835
02:09:24,906 --> 02:09:26,783
...and now they're coming to pass.
1836
02:09:29,703 --> 02:09:32,414
Now these same Negro leaders...
1837
02:09:33,456 --> 02:09:38,044
...are running around talking about
there's about to be a racial explosion.
1838
02:09:40,130 --> 02:09:42,632
Yes, there's gonna be
a racial explosion.
1839
02:09:43,049 --> 02:09:47,637
And a racial explosion is
more dangerous than an atomic explosion.
1840
02:09:49,305 --> 02:09:53,476
There's going to be an explosion because
black people are dissatisfied...
1841
02:09:53,685 --> 02:09:57,855
...not only with the white man, but with
these Uncle Tom Negro leaders...
1842
02:09:58,064 --> 02:09:59,941
...that try to pose
as spokesmen...
1843
02:10:00,149 --> 02:10:01,609
...for you and l.
1844
02:10:02,026 --> 02:10:03,278
Just like you have a--
1845
02:10:04,112 --> 02:10:05,780
Just like you have a powder keg.
1846
02:10:06,197 --> 02:10:08,700
When you have a powder keg
and there's too many sparks...
1847
02:10:08,908 --> 02:10:10,576
...the thing's going to explode.
1848
02:10:10,785 --> 02:10:14,539
lf the thing that's going to explode
is sitting inside the house...
1849
02:10:14,747 --> 02:10:17,667
...and if it explodes, then the house
is going to be destroyed.
1850
02:10:17,875 --> 02:10:20,795
l said the house is going
to be destroyed.
1851
02:10:21,003 --> 02:10:23,506
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is
teaching you and l...
1852
02:10:23,714 --> 02:10:27,677
...and trying to tell the white man
to get this powder keg out of his house.
1853
02:10:27,885 --> 02:10:30,388
Let the black man separate
from his house.
1854
02:10:30,596 --> 02:10:32,473
Let the black man have his own house.
1855
02:10:32,682 --> 02:10:35,393
Let the black man have
his own land and property.
1856
02:10:38,312 --> 02:10:41,440
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is
trying to tell the white man...
1857
02:10:41,649 --> 02:10:45,611
...that this thing, this explosion, is
gonna bring down his house.
1858
02:10:45,820 --> 02:10:49,156
This is what he's telling him.
More importantly, he's telling him...
1859
02:10:49,365 --> 02:10:51,450
...that if he doesn't do
something about it...
1860
02:10:51,659 --> 02:10:56,455
...if he doesn't do something about it,
it's gonna explode any day now.
1861
02:10:56,872 --> 02:11:00,209
l'm just here to tell you,
and l'm gonna make it very short.
1862
02:11:00,626 --> 02:11:04,588
l'm here to tell you about
Elijah Muhammad's greatest greatness.
1863
02:11:05,005 --> 02:11:08,133
His greatest greatness is
that he has the only solution...
1864
02:11:08,342 --> 02:11:10,427
...for peace in this country.
1865
02:11:10,844 --> 02:11:13,347
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's
solution...
1866
02:11:13,555 --> 02:11:15,641
...is the only solution for you and l.
1867
02:11:15,849 --> 02:11:18,560
lt's the only solution
for the white man.
1868
02:11:19,812 --> 02:11:22,314
Complete separation...
1869
02:11:22,523 --> 02:11:26,068
...between the black race
and the white race.
1870
02:11:28,570 --> 02:11:30,447
lt's the only solution.
1871
02:11:36,912 --> 02:11:39,206
All praise due to Allah
for Elijah Muhammad!
1872
02:11:39,414 --> 02:11:41,708
All praise due to Allah
for Elijah Muhammad!
1873
02:12:17,577 --> 02:12:19,246
Brother Malcolm!
1874
02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:22,791
Yes, yes. Hold on, hold on.
1875
02:12:23,625 --> 02:12:26,962
Yes, sir. lt's all right.
My brother. How you doing?
1876
02:12:27,170 --> 02:12:29,256
-Can l ask you something?
-Anything.
1877
02:12:29,464 --> 02:12:31,341
Are you Elijah's pimp?
1878
02:12:31,549 --> 02:12:34,052
He should be killed
for talking like that!
1879
02:12:35,303 --> 02:12:36,971
What are you saying, brother?
1880
02:12:37,389 --> 02:12:39,057
"His greatest greatness."
1881
02:12:39,265 --> 02:12:41,142
Just say what you're saying.
1882
02:12:42,811 --> 02:12:44,479
lf you don't know...
1883
02:12:44,896 --> 02:12:46,356
...l feel the sorriest for you.
1884
02:12:46,564 --> 02:12:48,441
Oh, come on, brother.
1885
02:12:49,692 --> 02:12:51,569
Let me tell you something.
1886
02:13:00,537 --> 02:13:01,788
lt's all right.
1887
02:13:05,959 --> 02:13:08,461
He's just hungry for knowledge,
that's all.
1888
02:13:08,670 --> 02:13:10,964
Yeah, that brother's starving.
1889
02:13:11,172 --> 02:13:13,883
So am l. Come on,
let's get something to eat.
1890
02:13:15,551 --> 02:13:17,220
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
1891
02:13:17,428 --> 02:13:19,931
-Okay, night-night, Daddy.
-Night-night.
1892
02:13:35,363 --> 02:13:36,614
Long night.
1893
02:13:43,913 --> 02:13:45,581
-What you looking at?
-You.
1894
02:13:45,790 --> 02:13:47,249
Why you looking like that?
1895
02:13:47,458 --> 02:13:48,709
You're in trouble.
1896
02:13:51,003 --> 02:13:52,046
How do you know?
1897
02:13:52,254 --> 02:13:54,340
Oh, dear heart.
1898
02:13:54,965 --> 02:13:56,217
Because l know you.
1899
02:13:56,425 --> 02:13:58,094
Well, if you know me...
1900
02:13:59,970 --> 02:14:02,890
...you know l don't like to bring
my troubles home.
1901
02:14:04,350 --> 02:14:06,018
You know that also.
1902
02:14:08,729 --> 02:14:09,980
Yes, l do.
1903
02:14:12,483 --> 02:14:14,568
But l'm not made of glass.
1904
02:14:14,777 --> 02:14:16,654
And l won't break.
1905
02:14:24,161 --> 02:14:26,455
Look, Betty, l just want peace.
1906
02:14:27,915 --> 02:14:30,209
l want to sit here with you.
l want to...
1907
02:14:31,460 --> 02:14:34,588
...be still. l want peace in my house.
1908
02:14:38,342 --> 02:14:41,053
-Have we ever had a fight?
-Never.
1909
02:14:41,261 --> 02:14:43,555
-Argument?
-Never had one, no.
1910
02:14:46,475 --> 02:14:48,143
We're gonna have one...
1911
02:14:49,394 --> 02:14:52,105
-...if you don't talk about it.
-Talk about what?
1912
02:14:52,314 --> 02:14:56,485
-The talk's everywhere.
-There's always gonna be talk.
1913
02:14:56,693 --> 02:15:00,030
Aren't they talking now about me trying
to take over the Nation?
1914
02:15:00,238 --> 02:15:03,367
Aren't they talking about
how we're getting rich...
1915
02:15:03,575 --> 02:15:05,452
...off the Nation of lslam?
1916
02:15:05,661 --> 02:15:08,372
-We could talk about that too.
-Let's talk about it.
1917
02:15:08,789 --> 02:15:10,457
lt's not just talk anymore.
1918
02:15:10,665 --> 02:15:14,211
"UPl: Elijah Muhammad, 67...
1919
02:15:14,419 --> 02:15:17,130
...leader of
the Black Muslim movement...
1920
02:15:17,339 --> 02:15:21,718
...today faced paternity suits
from two former secretaries."
1921
02:15:21,927 --> 02:15:25,263
These are slanders. These are lies.
Don't you know that?
1922
02:15:25,472 --> 02:15:29,434
Don't you realize this is
the devil's newspaper?
1923
02:15:29,851 --> 02:15:31,937
He's trying to divide us.
1924
02:15:32,354 --> 02:15:36,524
Divide and conquer. He's trying
to bring down our leader.
1925
02:15:40,070 --> 02:15:41,321
"Both women...
1926
02:15:42,155 --> 02:15:45,909
...in their 20s, charge that
they had intimacy--"
1927
02:15:46,117 --> 02:15:48,828
"lntimacies with Mr. Muhammad--"
1928
02:15:57,170 --> 02:16:01,132
You think l'm not
aware of these accusations?
1929
02:16:01,341 --> 02:16:04,677
You think l'm not
aware of these vicious lies?
1930
02:16:06,763 --> 02:16:10,099
-Brother Baines and l discussed it today.
-Baines?
1931
02:16:10,725 --> 02:16:11,768
ls he your friend?
1932
02:16:12,185 --> 02:16:13,019
What's wrong?
1933
02:16:13,227 --> 02:16:15,521
Nothing.
What's the matter with you?
1934
02:16:15,730 --> 02:16:19,275
Wake up! Are you so committed that
you've blinded yourself?
1935
02:16:19,484 --> 02:16:22,403
You're so dedicated,
you can't face the truth?
1936
02:16:22,612 --> 02:16:23,863
Baines?
1937
02:16:24,072 --> 02:16:27,617
He's the editor of the newspaper
that you established.
1938
02:16:27,825 --> 02:16:31,996
Ask him why your name hasn't
appeared in it for over a year.
1939
02:16:32,205 --> 02:16:35,958
-l'm not interested in publicity.
-You're in every other paper.
1940
02:16:36,167 --> 02:16:39,295
Our people know what l'm doing.
1941
02:16:39,504 --> 02:16:42,632
-But do you know what Baines is doing?
-Baines! Baines!
1942
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:46,802
You're so blind!
Everyone can see but you!
1943
02:16:48,471 --> 02:16:51,807
Baines is the one who saved my life.
1944
02:16:52,016 --> 02:16:54,310
When l crawled in prison
like an animal...
1945
02:16:54,518 --> 02:16:57,229
...he brought me to
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
1946
02:16:57,438 --> 02:16:59,940
And Mr. Muhammad brought me
back from the dead--
1947
02:17:00,149 --> 02:17:02,234
A long time ago!
You've repaid them!
1948
02:17:02,443 --> 02:17:05,154
Don't you raise your voice
in my house!
1949
02:17:09,533 --> 02:17:11,202
Ask them.
1950
02:17:12,661 --> 02:17:15,372
Ask them why they have new cars,
houses and furniture.
1951
02:17:15,581 --> 02:17:18,292
ls that what this is about?
You want furniture?
1952
02:17:18,500 --> 02:17:20,794
-You want cars?
-What do we have?
1953
02:17:21,003 --> 02:17:22,880
What do we have, Malcolm?
1954
02:17:23,297 --> 02:17:25,174
Broken-down jalopy....
1955
02:17:26,425 --> 02:17:28,302
The clothes on our backs.
1956
02:17:28,510 --> 02:17:30,387
So l'll get you new clothes....
1957
02:17:30,596 --> 02:17:33,098
We don't even own our own home.
1958
02:17:33,307 --> 02:17:36,226
What about our children?
What about me?
1959
02:17:36,643 --> 02:17:38,520
We don't even own life insurance.
1960
02:17:38,729 --> 02:17:42,066
The Nation will support all of you
if anything happens to me--
1961
02:17:42,274 --> 02:17:43,317
Will they?
1962
02:17:44,568 --> 02:17:45,819
Are you sure?
1963
02:17:47,279 --> 02:17:48,739
Are you sure?
1964
02:17:49,573 --> 02:17:51,033
Are you sure?
1965
02:17:52,701 --> 02:17:54,369
Or are you blind?
1966
02:17:57,915 --> 02:17:58,749
All right.
1967
02:18:04,796 --> 02:18:06,673
l've got work to do, so....
1968
02:18:08,342 --> 02:18:10,427
There's always work to do.
1969
02:18:10,635 --> 02:18:12,512
-Help me.
-l'm trying to.
1970
02:18:12,721 --> 02:18:16,058
l'm raising the children
practically by myself.
1971
02:18:16,266 --> 02:18:18,977
What do you want me to do?
Stay home?
1972
02:18:19,186 --> 02:18:22,731
You don't know how often they ask,
"Where's Daddy?"
1973
02:18:22,731 --> 02:18:25,442
You want me to make the beds
and go on the road?
1974
02:18:25,650 --> 02:18:27,527
-The people need me!
-We need you!
1975
02:18:27,736 --> 02:18:30,238
l need you too.
But what do you want me to do?
1976
02:18:30,447 --> 02:18:32,532
Open your eyes. Open your eyes.
1977
02:18:33,575 --> 02:18:37,746
You can face death 24 hours a day,
but the possibility of betrayal...
1978
02:18:38,163 --> 02:18:40,248
...never enters your head.
1979
02:18:43,585 --> 02:18:45,462
Open your eyes.
1980
02:19:21,956 --> 02:19:24,876
-As-Salaam-Alaikum, minister
-Alaikum-Salaam, sister.
1981
02:19:25,084 --> 02:19:26,961
Her name's Eva Marie.
1982
02:19:28,004 --> 02:19:29,672
And she's 2 years old.
1983
02:19:31,132 --> 02:19:34,051
Brother Minister,
l didn't do anything wrong.
1984
02:19:34,260 --> 02:19:37,388
l didn't do anything to be
put in isolation.
1985
02:19:38,431 --> 02:19:40,308
l believed in him.
1986
02:19:41,767 --> 02:19:45,104
l believed in
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
1987
02:19:46,772 --> 02:19:48,441
Believe in Allah.
1988
02:19:53,029 --> 02:19:55,114
This is Saudi.
She's 2.
1989
02:19:55,531 --> 02:19:57,617
And you have Lisha.
She's 3.
1990
02:19:57,617 --> 02:20:02,413
From their own mouths I heard
who had fathered their children.
1991
02:20:03,039 --> 02:20:05,958
And from their own mouths
I heard that Mr. Muhammad...
1992
02:20:06,167 --> 02:20:08,252
...had told them I was the best.
1993
02:20:09,086 --> 02:20:11,589
He often spoke of you.
He loves you like a son.
1994
02:20:11,797 --> 02:20:14,925
The greatest minister he had,
but that I would leave him...
1995
02:20:15,134 --> 02:20:18,471
...turn against him.
And so I was dangerous.
1996
02:20:18,679 --> 02:20:22,433
Mr. Muhammad, while praising me
to my face...
1997
02:20:23,058 --> 02:20:25,352
...was tearing me apart
behind by back.
1998
02:20:25,769 --> 02:20:28,063
-You're sure about all this?
-Yes, l am.
1999
02:20:28,272 --> 02:20:30,983
All l want is support for
my three children...
2000
02:20:31,400 --> 02:20:34,320
...that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
provide for them.
2001
02:20:34,737 --> 02:20:36,405
That's all l want.
2002
02:20:38,907 --> 02:20:40,993
Allah will provide...
2003
02:20:44,747 --> 02:20:45,789
...for all of us.
2004
02:20:45,998 --> 02:20:47,875
What do you mean, blackout?
2005
02:20:48,083 --> 02:20:50,377
Perhaps some brothers are
a little jealous.
2006
02:20:51,211 --> 02:20:54,339
Maybe they think you've been
getting too much press.
2007
02:20:54,548 --> 02:20:56,216
lt's nothing. Forget it.
2008
02:20:56,425 --> 02:20:58,927
Now about our coming
up in the world a little.
2009
02:20:59,136 --> 02:21:02,264
The Nation's grown.
We've grown with it.
2010
02:21:03,098 --> 02:21:04,766
You know our people.
2011
02:21:06,226 --> 02:21:08,520
They want their leaders
to be prosperous.
2012
02:21:09,563 --> 02:21:11,440
One hand washes the other.
2013
02:21:12,065 --> 02:21:15,193
"l'm telling you God's words,
not no hustle."
2014
02:21:17,696 --> 02:21:19,781
Remember what you told me in prison?
2015
02:21:19,990 --> 02:21:23,744
"l'm telling you God's words,
not no hustle."
2016
02:21:25,829 --> 02:21:26,872
Brother Malcolm...
2017
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:32,294
...what do you want?
A new car?
2018
02:21:32,919 --> 02:21:34,379
A new house?
2019
02:21:35,839 --> 02:21:37,507
lt's the money, isn't it?
2020
02:21:42,721 --> 02:21:46,474
But we tell the whole world that
we're moral leaders...
2021
02:21:46,891 --> 02:21:48,560
...because we follow...
2022
02:21:49,394 --> 02:21:51,896
...the personal example of
Mr. Muhammad.
2023
02:21:52,105 --> 02:21:54,190
Elijah Muhammad is a human being...
2024
02:21:55,233 --> 02:21:56,484
...and so are you.
2025
02:21:57,318 --> 02:21:59,195
-Do you know your Bible?
-Do you?
2026
02:21:59,404 --> 02:22:01,489
David slept with Bathsheba...
2027
02:22:01,698 --> 02:22:03,992
...but he's remembered for
slaying Goliath.
2028
02:22:05,660 --> 02:22:09,622
Noah was accused of drunkenness,
but God gave him the ark.
2029
02:22:10,874 --> 02:22:15,670
Solomon had 700 wives, but he
was history's greatest, wisest king.
2030
02:22:15,879 --> 02:22:19,632
Brother Baines is a two-bit hustler,
but one hand washes the other.
2031
02:22:19,841 --> 02:22:22,760
A great man's deeds
outweigh his personal weaknesses.
2032
02:22:22,969 --> 02:22:25,263
Who needs the nutmeg now, brother?
2033
02:22:25,471 --> 02:22:27,974
-l'm not gonna allow--
-Be careful, Malcolm.
2034
02:22:30,059 --> 02:22:31,310
l warn you.
2035
02:22:32,353 --> 02:22:33,604
You be careful.
2036
02:23:03,009 --> 02:23:05,094
l'm not surprised.
2037
02:23:08,222 --> 02:23:13,018
You have a very good understanding of
prophecy, of spiritual matters.
2038
02:23:13,227 --> 02:23:15,312
l'm not surprised.
2039
02:23:15,938 --> 02:23:18,649
l have built this Nation...
2040
02:23:18,858 --> 02:23:22,194
...under the divine guidance of Allah.
2041
02:23:23,028 --> 02:23:26,991
He has brought me back
from the dead to lead my people.
2042
02:23:27,199 --> 02:23:29,493
After me,
there will be no more.
2043
02:23:29,702 --> 02:23:31,579
No more.
2044
02:23:35,541 --> 02:23:37,418
l must...
2045
02:23:39,295 --> 02:23:42,631
...plant my seed in fertile soil.
2046
02:23:42,840 --> 02:23:44,299
lt is only...
2047
02:23:44,925 --> 02:23:47,845
...the fulfillment of prophecy.
2048
02:23:48,262 --> 02:23:52,224
My faith had been shattered
in a way I can never fully describe.
2049
02:23:52,433 --> 02:23:55,144
Every second of my 12 years
with Mr. Muhammad...
2050
02:23:55,352 --> 02:23:57,855
...I'd been ready to die for him.
2051
02:23:58,063 --> 02:24:01,608
The thing to me that is worse than
death itself is betrayal.
2052
02:24:01,817 --> 02:24:05,779
I could conceive death,
but I couldn't conceive betrayal.
2053
02:24:05,988 --> 02:24:10,367
Not of the loyalty I gave to
the Nation of Islam and Mr. Muhammad.
2054
02:24:10,784 --> 02:24:13,912
During that time, if Mr. Muhammad
had committed any crime...
2055
02:24:14,121 --> 02:24:18,083
...punishable by death, I would
have tried to prove I did it...
2056
02:24:18,292 --> 02:24:19,543
...to save him.
2057
02:24:19,751 --> 02:24:23,088
I would have gladly gone
to the electric chair in his place.
2058
02:24:39,563 --> 02:24:41,022
What did he say?
2059
02:24:48,321 --> 02:24:51,658
-l'm so sorry.
-There's nothing to be sorry about.
2060
02:24:52,492 --> 02:24:54,995
l just got a lot of work to do,
that's all.
2061
02:24:59,165 --> 02:25:00,625
How can you work?
2062
02:25:00,834 --> 02:25:02,919
Because we have to teach.
2063
02:25:03,545 --> 02:25:07,090
We gotta teach the people.
We gotta teach on Solomon, Moses...
2064
02:25:07,507 --> 02:25:10,427
...David.
Solomon had 700 wives.
2065
02:25:10,635 --> 02:25:13,972
A man's good deeds,
they far outweigh any of his....
2066
02:25:15,431 --> 02:25:17,308
My father used to say that...
2067
02:25:18,142 --> 02:25:20,854
...you can't make a rooster stop
crowing after sunrise.
2068
02:25:21,062 --> 02:25:22,730
Well, the sun is up.
2069
02:25:45,670 --> 02:25:50,466
So what do l say about this
so-called national day of mourning?
2070
02:25:50,883 --> 02:25:54,428
l say the white man's acts of violence
should be condemned...
2071
02:25:54,637 --> 02:25:56,514
...by our beliefs and by his own.
2072
02:25:56,722 --> 02:25:59,433
The lKoran teaches us that
those who work evil...
2073
02:26:00,059 --> 02:26:04,438
...will be condemned, punished
or judged according to their works.
2074
02:26:04,647 --> 02:26:07,775
The Holy Bible teaches us that
you reap what you sow.
2075
02:26:07,984 --> 02:26:09,443
This is divinejustice.
2076
02:26:09,652 --> 02:26:13,614
ln the Americas' soil, the white man
has planted seeds of hatred...
2077
02:26:13,823 --> 02:26:15,700
...the seeds of violence.
2078
02:26:15,908 --> 02:26:18,411
He's allowed those weeds to choke...
2079
02:26:18,619 --> 02:26:22,164
...the lives of millions of black men
and women for 400 years...
2080
02:26:22,373 --> 02:26:25,709
...and the lives of lndians in these
Americas for 500 years.
2081
02:26:25,918 --> 02:26:28,003
And now those same weeds...
2082
02:26:28,212 --> 02:26:31,131
...have choked his own chief gardener.
2083
02:26:31,340 --> 02:26:34,677
You ask me what l say.
l only say what the Bible says.
2084
02:26:34,885 --> 02:26:37,179
l say what the lKoran says.
2085
02:26:37,805 --> 02:26:39,473
l say it's justice.
2086
02:26:44,478 --> 02:26:49,274
Don't you even feel a bit remorseful
or saddened by lKennedy's assassination?
2087
02:26:49,900 --> 02:26:53,237
l don't think anyone would deny that
when you send chickens...
2088
02:26:53,445 --> 02:26:55,114
...out from the barnyard...
2089
02:26:55,322 --> 02:26:58,867
...those chickens will return to
your barnyard, not your neighbor's.
2090
02:26:59,076 --> 02:27:02,412
lt's an example of the devil's
chickens coming home to roost.
2091
02:27:02,621 --> 02:27:05,749
The violence that he's
perpetrated here and abroad...
2092
02:27:05,958 --> 02:27:09,920
...four children in Birmingham,
or Medgar Evers, or in Africa...
2093
02:27:09,920 --> 02:27:12,422
...this same violence has claimed
one of their own.
2094
02:27:12,631 --> 02:27:16,593
Being a farm boy, chickens coming home
to roost never made me sad.
2095
02:27:16,802 --> 02:27:18,887
ln fact, it's only made me glad.
2096
02:27:28,063 --> 02:27:29,314
Did you...
2097
02:27:30,357 --> 02:27:32,859
...read the paper today?
2098
02:27:35,779 --> 02:27:37,239
Yes, sir. l did.
2099
02:27:40,575 --> 02:27:45,580
That was a bad statement you made.
2100
02:27:47,666 --> 02:27:51,419
You knew from my instructions...
2101
02:27:51,628 --> 02:27:56,633
...no minister was to make
any statements against this man.
2102
02:27:56,633 --> 02:27:59,344
The country loved this man.
2103
02:27:59,552 --> 02:28:01,429
You have made it...
2104
02:28:01,846 --> 02:28:03,098
...hard...
2105
02:28:03,932 --> 02:28:05,600
...for Muslims...
2106
02:28:05,809 --> 02:28:07,686
...in general.
2107
02:28:10,397 --> 02:28:11,439
Yes, sir.
2108
02:28:11,648 --> 02:28:16,444
We must disassociate ourselves...
2109
02:28:16,653 --> 02:28:18,947
...from your terrible blunder.
2110
02:28:21,449 --> 02:28:23,535
l must silence you.
2111
02:28:24,160 --> 02:28:26,037
For 90 days...
2112
02:28:29,165 --> 02:28:33,127
...you must not make any statements
to the press...
2113
02:28:33,962 --> 02:28:38,341
...nor are you to speak
at any temples.
2114
02:28:39,592 --> 02:28:40,843
Yes, sir.
2115
02:28:42,512 --> 02:28:45,223
Yes, sir.
l submit 100 percent.
2116
02:29:44,096 --> 02:29:45,139
Leave us alone.
2117
02:29:46,181 --> 02:29:48,475
Leave us alone.
Stop calling here.
2118
02:29:48,684 --> 02:29:52,021
Who's putting you up to this?
We have children here!
2119
02:29:52,438 --> 02:29:53,897
Stop it!
2120
02:30:06,618 --> 02:30:07,870
lt's all right.
2121
02:30:08,495 --> 02:30:10,163
They keep calling!
2122
02:30:11,206 --> 02:30:13,083
They keep calling!
2123
02:30:15,586 --> 02:30:17,045
Just...
2124
02:30:18,714 --> 02:30:20,799
...take the babies and put them to bed.
2125
02:30:21,425 --> 02:30:23,719
Come on, babies.
Let's go to bed now.
2126
02:30:24,344 --> 02:30:26,013
-Bedtime.
-Come on.
2127
02:30:26,430 --> 02:30:27,472
Let's go.
2128
02:30:29,349 --> 02:30:32,894
-Good night, Mommy.
-Good night, Daddy.
2129
02:30:48,118 --> 02:30:50,829
Brother Minister,
l have to level with you.
2130
02:30:51,663 --> 02:30:53,540
They gave me a mission...
2131
02:30:53,957 --> 02:30:55,417
...but l couldn't do it.
2132
02:30:56,459 --> 02:30:59,170
-l love you all.
-What kind of mission?
2133
02:31:01,881 --> 02:31:03,758
To wire your car...
2134
02:31:03,967 --> 02:31:06,469
...so it would explode...
2135
02:31:06,886 --> 02:31:09,180
...when you turned the ignition.
2136
02:31:10,432 --> 02:31:14,394
The ministers say you're spreading
untruths about Mr. Muhammad.
2137
02:31:14,811 --> 02:31:17,730
They say that
you're the greatest hypocrite...
2138
02:31:17,939 --> 02:31:19,399
...a Judas...
2139
02:31:19,816 --> 02:31:21,693
...a Benedict Arnold.
2140
02:31:23,152 --> 02:31:26,698
The ministers say that
your tongue should be cut out...
2141
02:31:27,323 --> 02:31:30,451
...and delivered
to Mr. Muhammad's doorstep.
2142
02:31:31,286 --> 02:31:32,954
And what do you say?
2143
02:31:33,162 --> 02:31:34,831
l'm with you, Brother Minister.
2144
02:31:35,039 --> 02:31:36,499
You'll be marked for death.
2145
02:31:37,125 --> 02:31:38,376
Yes, sir.
2146
02:31:39,419 --> 02:31:40,461
Let me die then.
2147
02:31:54,016 --> 02:31:56,102
l can't come between you
and your father.
2148
02:31:56,519 --> 02:31:58,813
-You're my father.
-Go on home.
2149
02:32:00,898 --> 02:32:03,192
Don't come back.
That's an order.
2150
02:32:10,700 --> 02:32:12,368
Yes, sir.
2151
02:32:24,672 --> 02:32:28,634
Because 1964 threatens to be an
explosive year on the racial front...
2152
02:32:28,843 --> 02:32:33,430
...l have called this press conference
to clarify my position.
2153
02:32:33,848 --> 02:32:37,601
lnternal differences have forced me
out of the Nation of lslam.
2154
02:32:37,810 --> 02:32:41,981
ln the past, l thought and spoke
the words of Elijah Muhammad.
2155
02:32:42,189 --> 02:32:44,066
Everything l said,
l started with:
2156
02:32:44,275 --> 02:32:47,611
"The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
teaches us" thus-and-so.
2157
02:32:47,820 --> 02:32:49,488
That day is over.
2158
02:32:49,697 --> 02:32:53,242
From now on l speak my own words,
and l think my own thoughts.
2159
02:32:53,450 --> 02:32:56,370
Now that I have
more independence of action...
2160
02:32:56,578 --> 02:32:59,915
...I'll use a more flexible approach
in working with others...
2161
02:33:00,124 --> 02:33:01,792
...to solve this problem.
2162
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:04,294
l'm not out to fight
other Negro leaders.
2163
02:33:04,503 --> 02:33:07,840
l"ve forgotten every bad thing
other leaders said about me...
2164
02:33:08,048 --> 02:33:11,802
...and l pray they'll forget the many
bad things l said about them.
2165
02:33:12,010 --> 02:33:16,181
We must work together to find a common
solution to a common problem.
2166
02:33:16,807 --> 02:33:19,518
I will organize
and lead a new mosque in New York:
2167
02:33:19,726 --> 02:33:21,603
Muslim Mosque, Incorporated.
2168
02:33:22,020 --> 02:33:25,357
This gives us the religious base
and the spiritual force...
2169
02:33:25,565 --> 02:33:28,277
...necessary to rid our people
of the vices...
2170
02:33:28,485 --> 02:33:30,779
...that destroy
our community's moral fiber.
2171
02:33:30,988 --> 02:33:33,490
Our politics
will be Black Nationalism...
2172
02:33:33,699 --> 02:33:36,618
...meaning, we want to control
our community's politics.
2173
02:33:36,827 --> 02:33:39,329
The Muslim Mosque, lnc.
will remain open...
2174
02:33:39,538 --> 02:33:42,874
...for ideas and financial aid
from all quarters.
2175
02:33:43,291 --> 02:33:46,211
Whites can help us,
but they can't join us.
2176
02:33:46,628 --> 02:33:49,965
There can't be black-white unity
until there's first black unity.
2177
02:33:50,173 --> 02:33:51,842
We can't unite with others...
2178
02:33:52,050 --> 02:33:54,970
...until we've first learned
to unite amongst ourselves.
2179
02:33:55,178 --> 02:33:57,264
We can't be acceptable to others...
2180
02:33:57,472 --> 02:34:00,183
...until we have first
proven acceptable to ourselves.
2181
02:34:00,392 --> 02:34:03,937
In my desire to fully understand
the religion of Islam...
2182
02:34:04,145 --> 02:34:08,316
...as practiced by 750 million
Muslims around the world...
2183
02:34:08,525 --> 02:34:12,904
...I intend to make a pilgrimage,
or holy journey, to Mecca.
2184
02:34:13,113 --> 02:34:15,824
This pilgrimage is
a religious requirement...
2185
02:34:16,032 --> 02:34:18,535
...or duty,
of every Muslim that is able...
2186
02:34:18,743 --> 02:34:22,497
...to make the pilgrimage
at least once in his lifetime.
2187
02:34:36,469 --> 02:34:38,137
l'm Egyptian. And you?
2188
02:34:38,346 --> 02:34:39,597
American.
2189
02:34:39,806 --> 02:34:40,848
What's your name?
2190
02:34:41,057 --> 02:34:43,351
Malcolm.
2191
02:34:57,532 --> 02:34:59,826
-How much?
-Twenty Egyptian pounds.
2192
02:35:00,451 --> 02:35:01,702
For one?
2193
02:35:01,911 --> 02:35:04,413
-Special price for you.
-Special for me!
2194
02:35:04,622 --> 02:35:07,959
Okay, thank you.
Where can l get a better price?
2195
02:35:13,381 --> 02:35:15,258
-What's your name?
-Mohammed.
2196
02:35:15,466 --> 02:35:17,134
Mohammed, l'm Malcolm.
2197
02:35:18,177 --> 02:35:20,680
-Malcolm X. And you?
-Gamaal.
2198
02:35:20,888 --> 02:35:24,850
All right, Gamaal. l'm from Harlem.
From the United States.
2199
02:35:26,727 --> 02:35:29,647
-Hareem?
-No, not Hareem. Harlem.
2200
02:35:29,855 --> 02:35:31,732
Can you show me around?
2201
02:35:31,941 --> 02:35:34,443
-Hash?
-No. No hashish.
2202
02:35:36,529 --> 02:35:37,988
You know, the pyramids.
2203
02:35:38,823 --> 02:35:41,325
No, pyramids, pyramids, pyramids.
2204
02:35:47,164 --> 02:35:48,624
You're gonna take me?
2205
02:35:49,875 --> 02:35:52,169
Sphinx! Sphinx!
2206
02:37:13,500 --> 02:37:15,377
My darling Betty:
2207
02:37:15,794 --> 02:37:19,756
Everywhere I go, I am welcomed
as a representative of our people.
2208
02:37:20,173 --> 02:37:23,301
Our struggle is known
and respected worldwide.
2209
02:37:23,927 --> 02:37:27,680
Coincidentally, two white men
follow me around wherever I go.
2210
02:37:27,889 --> 02:37:29,974
I wonder who they're working for?
2211
02:37:30,391 --> 02:37:32,894
If I was a betting man,
I'd say the CIA.
2212
02:37:33,102 --> 02:37:34,145
What's your guess?
2213
02:37:35,188 --> 02:37:37,273
Today I arrived in Arabia.
2214
02:37:37,899 --> 02:37:41,861
I have never witnessed
such sincere hospitality...
2215
02:37:42,070 --> 02:37:44,155
...and true brotherhood...
2216
02:37:44,364 --> 02:37:46,032
...as practiced here...
2217
02:37:46,240 --> 02:37:49,369
...in the ancient
home ofAbraham, Mohammed...
2218
02:37:49,994 --> 02:37:53,122
...and the great prophets
of the Scriptures. "
2219
02:37:59,379 --> 02:38:02,090
Today, with thousands of others...
2220
02:38:02,298 --> 02:38:05,843
...I proclaimed God's greatness
in the sacred city of Mecca.
2221
02:38:06,886 --> 02:38:10,223
In the ihram garb, I made
my seven circuits around the Kaaba.
2222
02:38:10,848 --> 02:38:13,142
I drank from the well of Zem Zem.
2223
02:38:13,559 --> 02:38:16,479
I prayed to Allah from Mount Arafat.
2224
02:38:16,687 --> 02:38:20,650
It was the only time in my life that
I stood before the Creator...
2225
02:38:20,858 --> 02:38:23,361
...and felt
like a complete human being.
2226
02:38:43,380 --> 02:38:46,091
Now, you may be shocked
by these words...
2227
02:38:46,300 --> 02:38:50,054
...but I've eaten from the same plate,
drunk from the same glass...
2228
02:38:50,262 --> 02:38:54,225
...and prayed to the same God
with Muslims whose eyes were blue...
2229
02:38:54,433 --> 02:38:58,812
...whose hair was blond, and whose
skin was the whitest of white.
2230
02:38:59,021 --> 02:39:00,689
And we were all brothers...
2231
02:39:00,898 --> 02:39:01,941
...truly.
2232
02:39:02,149 --> 02:39:07,154
People of all colors and races
believing in one God, in one humanity.
2233
02:39:21,335 --> 02:39:23,629
Each hour in this sacred land
gives me...
2234
02:39:23,837 --> 02:39:27,382
...greater spiritual insight into
what is happening in America.
2235
02:39:27,799 --> 02:39:32,179
The American Negro can never
be blamed for his racial animosities.
2236
02:39:32,387 --> 02:39:36,350
He's only reacting to 400 years of
oppression and discrimination.
2237
02:39:36,558 --> 02:39:39,895
But as racism leads America
up the suicidal path...
2238
02:39:40,103 --> 02:39:43,857
...I believe the younger generation
will see the writing on the wall...
2239
02:39:44,066 --> 02:39:47,402
...and many will want to turn to
the spiritual path of truth...
2240
02:39:47,611 --> 02:39:50,322
...the only way left to ward off
the disaster...
2241
02:39:50,530 --> 02:39:52,616
...that racism must surely lead to.
2242
02:39:53,450 --> 02:39:57,621
Once before, in prison,
the truth came and blinded me.
2243
02:39:58,663 --> 02:40:00,332
Well, it has happened again.
2244
02:40:01,374 --> 02:40:04,920
In the past, I've made sweeping
indictments of all white people.
2245
02:40:05,128 --> 02:40:07,839
And these generalizations
have caused injuries...
2246
02:40:08,048 --> 02:40:10,550
...to some whites
who didn't deserve them.
2247
02:40:11,593 --> 02:40:15,555
"Because of the spiritual rebirth
which l was blessed to undergo...
2248
02:40:15,764 --> 02:40:18,058
...as a result of my pilgrimage...
2249
02:40:18,266 --> 02:40:20,352
...to the holy city of Mecca...
2250
02:40:22,020 --> 02:40:25,774
...l no longer subscribe
to sweeping indictments of one race.
2251
02:40:26,191 --> 02:40:27,650
I intend...
2252
02:40:28,485 --> 02:40:30,779
...to be very careful not to....
2253
02:40:30,987 --> 02:40:34,741
--careful not to sentence anyone
who has not been proven guilty.
2254
02:40:35,366 --> 02:40:37,452
I am not a racist...
2255
02:40:37,660 --> 02:40:40,788
...and I do not subscribe to any
of the tenets of racism.
2256
02:40:40,997 --> 02:40:43,082
In all honesty and sincerity...
2257
02:40:43,291 --> 02:40:47,253
...it can be stated that I wish
nothing but freedom, justice...
2258
02:40:47,462 --> 02:40:49,130
...and equality...
2259
02:40:49,756 --> 02:40:54,552
...life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness for all people.
2260
02:40:54,969 --> 02:40:58,097
My first concern is with the group
to which I belong...
2261
02:40:58,306 --> 02:41:02,477
...for we, more than others, are
deprived of our inalienable rights.
2262
02:41:02,685 --> 02:41:04,771
But the true practice of Islam...
2263
02:41:04,979 --> 02:41:06,856
...can remove the cancer of racism...
2264
02:41:07,065 --> 02:41:10,818
...from the hearts and the souls
of all Americans.
2265
02:41:11,027 --> 02:41:13,321
If I can die
having brought any light...
2266
02:41:13,529 --> 02:41:18,326
...having exposed any truth that
will help destroy this disease...
2267
02:41:19,160 --> 02:41:23,122
...then all the credit is due to Allah,
the Lord of all the worlds.
2268
02:41:23,539 --> 02:41:26,042
And only the mistakes have been mine.
2269
02:41:27,501 --> 02:41:29,795
Please give all my love
to the children.
2270
02:41:30,421 --> 02:41:31,881
I love you dearly.
2271
02:41:32,923 --> 02:41:36,052
Sincerely,
El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz...
2272
02:41:36,469 --> 02:41:38,137
...Malcolm X.
2273
02:42:25,893 --> 02:42:26,935
Let's begin.
2274
02:42:27,144 --> 02:42:31,523
You said on your trip you sensed
a feeling of great brotherhood.
2275
02:42:31,732 --> 02:42:36,111
Yes, when I was in Mecca
making the pilgrimage...
2276
02:42:36,945 --> 02:42:41,116
...the brotherhood that existed there
among all people, all races...
2277
02:42:41,325 --> 02:42:45,287
...all levels of people who
had accepted the religion of Islam...
2278
02:42:46,330 --> 02:42:50,917
...what it had done
for those people, despite...
2279
02:42:51,126 --> 02:42:53,211
...their complexion differences....
2280
02:42:53,420 --> 02:42:56,548
Perhaps if people
here in America would try...
2281
02:42:56,757 --> 02:43:00,302
...and practice and study the religion
of lslam, it might help...
2282
02:43:00,510 --> 02:43:04,473
...to erase the plague of racism here.
2283
02:43:04,890 --> 02:43:08,018
l think Muslims over there
look at themselves as...
2284
02:43:08,226 --> 02:43:13,231
...human beings, as part of
the same human family.
2285
02:43:13,648 --> 02:43:16,151
Today my friends are black...
2286
02:43:16,359 --> 02:43:18,862
...red, yellow, brown and white.
2287
02:43:19,070 --> 02:43:23,867
Are you prepared to ask the UN
to bring charges against the U.S...
2288
02:43:24,075 --> 02:43:25,744
...for its treatment of Negroes?
2289
02:43:25,952 --> 02:43:27,829
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
2290
02:43:29,706 --> 02:43:32,208
The audience will have to be quiet.
2291
02:43:33,043 --> 02:43:34,711
Please, please.
2292
02:43:35,754 --> 02:43:38,465
Yes, as I stated earlier...
2293
02:43:39,507 --> 02:43:42,427
...those nations,
African, Latin, Asian nations...
2294
02:43:42,635 --> 02:43:45,763
...are hypocritical
when they stand up in the UN...
2295
02:43:45,972 --> 02:43:49,309
...and denounce the racism practiced
in South Africa, but...
2296
02:43:49,517 --> 02:43:52,228
...say absolutely nothing about...
2297
02:43:52,437 --> 02:43:55,565
...the practice of racism here
in American society.
2298
02:43:55,773 --> 02:43:58,484
Now, l wouldn't be a man
if l didn't do so.
2299
02:43:58,693 --> 02:44:03,489
Will you work now with leaders
of other civil rights organizations?
2300
02:44:03,698 --> 02:44:07,869
Yes, we're prepared to work with
any groups, leaders, organizations...
2301
02:44:08,077 --> 02:44:11,622
...as long as they're
genuinely interested in results.
2302
02:44:11,831 --> 02:44:12,665
Positive results.
2303
02:44:12,874 --> 02:44:15,585
Does your new beard have any
religious significance?
2304
02:44:17,044 --> 02:44:19,130
No, not particularly, but...
2305
02:44:19,338 --> 02:44:22,884
...l think that as black people
in America strive...
2306
02:44:23,092 --> 02:44:26,637
...to throw off the shackles
of mental colonialism...
2307
02:44:26,846 --> 02:44:28,931
...they'll also reflect
their desire...
2308
02:44:29,140 --> 02:44:32,059
...to throw off the shackles of
cultural colonialism.
2309
02:44:32,268 --> 02:44:36,022
l believe that a mental and cultural
migration back to Africa...
2310
02:44:36,230 --> 02:44:38,316
...not necessarily a physical one...
2311
02:44:38,524 --> 02:44:42,069
...but a mental and cultural
migration back to Africa...
2312
02:44:42,278 --> 02:44:46,449
...which means we reaffirm our bond
with our brothers over there...
2313
02:44:46,866 --> 02:44:51,036
...would help to strengthen
black people in America.
2314
02:44:51,245 --> 02:44:54,373
Not only spiritually,
but it would give us the incentive...
2315
02:44:54,582 --> 02:44:57,918
...to solve some of our problems
here at home.
2316
02:44:58,127 --> 02:45:00,629
One of your
more controversial remarks...
2317
02:45:00,838 --> 02:45:03,966
...called for black people to get
rifles and form clubs.
2318
02:45:04,174 --> 02:45:05,843
Do you still favor that idea?
2319
02:45:06,051 --> 02:45:08,137
Why is that controversial?
2320
02:45:08,345 --> 02:45:11,265
lf white people find themselves
the victims of...
2321
02:45:11,473 --> 02:45:15,853
...the violence black people found
themselves victims of in America...
2322
02:45:16,061 --> 02:45:19,815
...and if the government was unable
or unwilling to do anything...
2323
02:45:20,024 --> 02:45:23,152
...it'd be intelligence on their part
to defend themselves.
2324
02:45:23,360 --> 02:45:25,028
What about the guns?
2325
02:45:26,905 --> 02:45:30,659
When you tell your people to stop
being violent against my people...
2326
02:45:30,868 --> 02:45:32,953
...l'll tell them
to put away their guns.
2327
02:45:33,162 --> 02:45:34,621
So you're still an extremist.
2328
02:45:34,830 --> 02:45:36,707
Get your hand out of my pocket!
2329
02:45:43,797 --> 02:45:44,631
Next question.
2330
02:46:04,860 --> 02:46:08,613
Malcolm, you one dead, red nigger.
2331
02:46:09,239 --> 02:46:12,993
Your days on this earth are
numbered, brother.
2332
02:46:25,505 --> 02:46:26,548
Come to bed.
2333
02:46:27,173 --> 02:46:29,050
Get some rest.
2334
02:46:34,472 --> 02:46:35,932
l'm sorry, Betty.
2335
02:46:37,600 --> 02:46:38,643
Sorry for what?
2336
02:46:38,852 --> 02:46:42,397
l haven't been the best husband
or the best father.
2337
02:46:42,605 --> 02:46:45,316
A family shouldn't be separated
like ours has been.
2338
02:46:45,525 --> 02:46:49,070
l promise l'll never make a long trip
without you and the children.
2339
02:46:52,824 --> 02:46:54,492
l miss you and the girls.
2340
02:47:00,540 --> 02:47:02,417
We will be together,
l promise you that.
2341
02:47:03,876 --> 02:47:04,919
Dear heart....
2342
02:47:07,213 --> 02:47:08,673
l love you.
2343
02:47:13,469 --> 02:47:15,138
Thank you.
2344
02:47:22,645 --> 02:47:24,313
Now get some sleep.
2345
02:47:29,318 --> 02:47:32,446
We had the best organization
the black man has ever seen.
2346
02:47:33,906 --> 02:47:35,157
Niggers ruined it.
2347
02:48:06,438 --> 02:48:07,690
Wake up!
2348
02:48:11,860 --> 02:48:13,320
Come on! Let's get up!
2349
02:48:13,529 --> 02:48:15,823
Girls, come on! Come on!
Out! Out!
2350
02:48:16,240 --> 02:48:17,700
Outside! Out!
2351
02:48:19,785 --> 02:48:22,287
Go, go! Run, run!
2352
02:48:22,496 --> 02:48:24,790
Go across the street!
2353
02:48:24,999 --> 02:48:27,918
-Somebody call the fire department!
-Help! Help!
2354
02:48:29,169 --> 02:48:31,255
Call the fire department, please!
2355
02:48:31,463 --> 02:48:33,549
Somebody call the fire department!
2356
02:48:33,757 --> 02:48:35,008
l'm a man!
2357
02:48:35,217 --> 02:48:36,468
Evidently...
2358
02:48:37,928 --> 02:48:41,682
...some type of bomb was thrown against
the back of the house.
2359
02:48:41,890 --> 02:48:45,018
One was thrown on the side
of the house, from what l see.
2360
02:48:48,146 --> 02:48:51,066
lt bounced up against the window
and woke my daughter.
2361
02:48:51,275 --> 02:48:54,194
Had it gone inside,
my 2-year-old, my 4-year-old...
2362
02:48:54,403 --> 02:48:56,280
...and my 6-year-old daughter....
2363
02:48:56,905 --> 02:48:59,199
Had that happened,
l'd have taken my rifle...
2364
02:48:59,408 --> 02:49:01,076
...and gone after anyone in sight.
2365
02:49:01,284 --> 02:49:03,995
Was this a warning
or an attempt on your life?
2366
02:49:04,204 --> 02:49:06,707
What, does it look like
a warning to you?
2367
02:49:06,915 --> 02:49:08,583
This was a definite attempt...
2368
02:49:09,000 --> 02:49:12,546
...by the Nation of lslam, upon
the strict orders of Elijah Muhammad.
2369
02:49:12,754 --> 02:49:15,882
-Muslim headquarters say--
-l don't care what they say.
2370
02:49:16,091 --> 02:49:17,551
l see what they're doing.
2371
02:49:17,759 --> 02:49:21,304
Minister Baines, can you tell us
who bombed the house?
2372
02:49:21,513 --> 02:49:25,475
We feel it's a publicity stunt
on the part of Malcolm X.
2373
02:49:25,684 --> 02:49:27,352
We hope it's not so that...
2374
02:49:27,561 --> 02:49:30,689
...if he can't keep the house,
we won't get it either.
2375
02:49:30,897 --> 02:49:32,357
That's enough. Excuse me.
2376
02:49:38,822 --> 02:49:40,073
l'm all right. l'm all right.
2377
02:49:40,281 --> 02:49:42,158
-Betty and the kids?
-They're fine.
2378
02:49:42,367 --> 02:49:44,452
Let's post some
men in front of the house.
2379
02:49:44,661 --> 02:49:47,580
-Did you see anybody?
-No, but l know who it is.
2380
02:49:47,789 --> 02:49:50,291
-You know l know who did it.
-Give us the command.
2381
02:49:50,500 --> 02:49:54,254
Don't worry about the command.
Two men on post, two in front!
2382
02:50:28,663 --> 02:50:29,705
Spark it.
2383
02:50:39,715 --> 02:50:41,801
As-Salaam-Alaikum, my brothers.
2384
02:50:44,512 --> 02:50:47,223
-Here's your key. Enjoy your stay.
-Thank you.
2385
02:50:50,977 --> 02:50:52,645
O. A. A. U.
2386
02:50:54,105 --> 02:50:56,190
Brother Earl, it's Malcolm.
2387
02:50:59,527 --> 02:51:03,072
Where are you? We've been calling
all over the city.
2388
02:51:03,280 --> 02:51:04,532
Hold the phone.
2389
02:51:13,082 --> 02:51:15,167
I'm downtown.
2390
02:51:15,376 --> 02:51:18,712
I'm in a hotel trying
to get some work done for tomorrow.
2391
02:51:18,921 --> 02:51:21,840
-Let me bring some brothers there.
-That's all right.
2392
02:51:22,049 --> 02:51:24,134
I wish you'd listen to us.
2393
02:51:24,343 --> 02:51:27,471
We must frisk people
at the Audubon Ballroom meeting.
2394
02:51:27,680 --> 02:51:30,182
No, no! l don't want....
2395
02:51:30,599 --> 02:51:32,685
l don't want anybody frisked.
2396
02:51:34,770 --> 02:51:36,855
We have to change our way of thinking.
2397
02:51:37,064 --> 02:51:39,149
We have to make people
feel comfortable.
2398
02:51:39,358 --> 02:51:42,903
If I can't be safe around my own kind,
who can I be safe around?
2399
02:51:43,112 --> 02:51:44,988
I trust Allah will protect me.
2400
02:51:45,197 --> 02:51:49,368
Believing in Allah is one thing,
but l also believe in being armed.
2401
02:51:52,704 --> 02:51:56,250
We don't want black people
killing each other, all right?
2402
02:51:58,752 --> 02:51:59,795
All right?
2403
02:52:00,003 --> 02:52:01,672
We'll protect you, Malcolm.
2404
02:52:02,506 --> 02:52:03,757
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
2405
02:52:03,966 --> 02:52:06,468
No, peace be unto you, Earl.
2406
02:52:44,214 --> 02:52:46,508
Do you have a Malcolm X registered?
2407
02:53:44,065 --> 02:53:47,610
Your red nigger is dead
and so are your bastard children!
2408
02:54:12,843 --> 02:54:14,303
Wake up, brother.
2409
02:54:14,929 --> 02:54:16,805
As-Salaam-Alaikum.
2410
02:54:25,147 --> 02:54:28,484
You hear me and hear me well.
You come anywhere near my family...
2411
02:54:28,901 --> 02:54:30,778
-...and l will kill you.
-Betty?
2412
02:54:30,986 --> 02:54:32,237
Do you hear?
2413
02:54:33,489 --> 02:54:34,948
Betty, it's me, Malcolm.
2414
02:54:41,622 --> 02:54:43,499
They keep calling.
2415
02:54:43,707 --> 02:54:46,835
They keep threatening. l go crazy
every time a phone rings.
2416
02:54:47,044 --> 02:54:50,380
Just don't answer the phone.
Everything'll be all right.
2417
02:54:50,589 --> 02:54:53,091
-When will it stop?
-Don't answer the phone.
2418
02:54:54,134 --> 02:54:56,220
Are the brothers there on post?
2419
02:54:57,262 --> 02:54:58,513
They're outside.
2420
02:54:58,722 --> 02:55:01,642
Let them answer the phone.
Don't touch the phone.
2421
02:55:01,850 --> 02:55:02,893
Beloved, where are you?
2422
02:55:03,101 --> 02:55:04,978
l'm in a hotel.
2423
02:55:06,229 --> 02:55:07,064
ln a hotel.
2424
02:55:07,481 --> 02:55:08,940
The girls asleep?
2425
02:55:10,400 --> 02:55:13,528
l just put them down to bed.
2426
02:55:14,363 --> 02:55:16,448
Can we come to the meeting tomorrow?
2427
02:55:18,742 --> 02:55:20,410
No, l don't think so.
2428
02:55:21,453 --> 02:55:24,372
The girls and I want to see you.
We miss you.
2429
02:55:25,207 --> 02:55:27,292
Betty, it's too dangerous.
2430
02:55:27,918 --> 02:55:30,212
It's been dangerous.
2431
02:55:33,340 --> 02:55:36,259
Listen, l haven't told
this to anybody...
2432
02:55:38,970 --> 02:55:40,847
...but l've been thinking...
2433
02:55:41,056 --> 02:55:44,392
...about what's been happening to me
lately, to us lately...
2434
02:55:45,226 --> 02:55:48,563
...and l'm gonna stop saying
The Nation of lslam's behind this.
2435
02:55:48,772 --> 02:55:52,317
l know what they can and can't do.
l trained them.
2436
02:55:53,985 --> 02:55:57,113
Some of the things that have
been happening lately....
2437
02:55:59,199 --> 02:56:02,535
l'm gonna stop staying it's just
The Nation of lslam.
2438
02:56:02,744 --> 02:56:04,829
They're not working alone.
2439
02:56:05,246 --> 02:56:07,123
They're getting a lot of help.
2440
02:56:07,332 --> 02:56:09,209
Are you sure?
2441
02:56:10,043 --> 02:56:11,502
I miss you, Betty.
2442
02:56:15,256 --> 02:56:17,550
You're with us
even when you're away.
2443
02:56:17,759 --> 02:56:21,095
Now listen, you come on down to
the Audubon tomorrow.
2444
02:56:22,138 --> 02:56:25,892
We'll be all right.
We're not gonna let this get us down.
2445
02:56:26,100 --> 02:56:28,186
You come on down.
Bring the girls too.
2446
02:56:28,394 --> 02:56:30,897
The girls and I miss you so much.
2447
02:56:31,105 --> 02:56:32,356
I'll see you tomorrow.
2448
02:56:32,565 --> 02:56:34,650
Compared to lKing, this guy's a monk.
2449
02:56:34,859 --> 02:56:36,944
Good night.
Sleep well. I love you.
2450
02:56:37,153 --> 02:56:37,987
Good night.
2451
02:56:50,917 --> 02:56:53,628
Sweetheart, Attallah, sit back.
2452
02:56:53,836 --> 02:56:56,964
Sit up.
Sit up straight.
2453
02:57:22,406 --> 02:57:24,909
Mama, l want the doll!
2454
02:58:11,413 --> 02:58:12,456
Sister?
2455
02:58:16,209 --> 02:58:19,129
-What do you say to the nice man?
-Thank you.
2456
02:58:19,338 --> 02:58:21,423
You're very welcome,
my beautiful sister.
2457
02:58:22,674 --> 02:58:23,717
Bye-bye.
2458
02:58:39,983 --> 02:58:42,277
The minister hasn't arrived yet.
2459
02:58:42,694 --> 02:58:45,196
Don't worry.
He'll be here like clockwork.
2460
02:59:18,354 --> 02:59:19,397
Son?
2461
02:59:19,606 --> 02:59:20,648
Son?
2462
02:59:21,900 --> 02:59:23,359
Are you all right?
2463
02:59:23,568 --> 02:59:24,611
Are you okay?
2464
02:59:27,947 --> 02:59:30,241
Good.
l recognize you.
2465
02:59:30,450 --> 02:59:33,161
Don't you pay them folks
no never mind.
2466
02:59:33,369 --> 02:59:35,872
You just keep right on doing
what you doing.
2467
02:59:37,957 --> 02:59:39,208
Yes, ma'am.
2468
02:59:39,834 --> 02:59:42,128
-l'll pray for you, son.
-Well, thank you.
2469
02:59:42,545 --> 02:59:44,213
Jesus will protect you.
2470
02:59:58,811 --> 03:00:00,479
ls the charter ready?
2471
03:00:00,688 --> 03:00:02,565
No, Brother Minister.
2472
03:00:04,233 --> 03:00:05,484
No? Why not?
2473
03:00:07,987 --> 03:00:09,864
You had enough time, didn't you?
2474
03:00:10,072 --> 03:00:12,366
l apologize.
We'll have it next week.
2475
03:00:12,575 --> 03:00:14,869
We don't have next week.
We need it today.
2476
03:00:15,077 --> 03:00:17,371
The people want to hear
the charter today.
2477
03:00:17,580 --> 03:00:19,248
Next week, Minister.
2478
03:00:25,713 --> 03:00:27,173
ls the reverend here?
2479
03:00:27,590 --> 03:00:30,718
The reverend called and said
he wouldn't be able to attend.
2480
03:00:32,177 --> 03:00:35,723
So now we don't have
an opening speaker or a charter....
2481
03:00:36,557 --> 03:00:39,476
Why didn't you say this last night
when l talked to you?
2482
03:00:39,685 --> 03:00:42,396
-l called Sister Betty.
-You didn't have to call her!
2483
03:00:42,604 --> 03:00:44,690
You should've told me!
Why tell her?
2484
03:00:44,898 --> 03:00:47,192
-l assumed that--
-Don't assume anything!
2485
03:00:57,619 --> 03:00:58,871
Go on down front.
2486
03:00:59,079 --> 03:01:01,582
-Sister, you go on with the brother.
-Yes, sir.
2487
03:01:20,350 --> 03:01:21,601
What's wrong?
2488
03:01:25,981 --> 03:01:28,483
lt's a time for martyrs now.
2489
03:01:32,028 --> 03:01:33,905
The way l feel...
2490
03:01:35,365 --> 03:01:37,451
...l shouldn't go out there today.
2491
03:01:39,119 --> 03:01:41,621
Fine. Let's cancel it.
2492
03:01:44,541 --> 03:01:46,626
My wife out there?
My children?
2493
03:01:47,043 --> 03:01:49,129
Down front, as always.
2494
03:01:52,048 --> 03:01:54,759
Go out to the pay phone outside.
2495
03:01:56,219 --> 03:02:00,598
Call up the reverend,
see if he can make it down here.
2496
03:02:00,807 --> 03:02:02,684
l gotta be on post.
2497
03:02:02,892 --> 03:02:04,978
l'm supposed to be
guarding you.
2498
03:02:05,186 --> 03:02:10,191
-Besides, that's a duty for secretaries--
-Go out to the pay phone.
2499
03:02:10,608 --> 03:02:12,277
Call up the reverend.
2500
03:02:12,694 --> 03:02:14,571
See if he can make it down here.
2501
03:02:19,159 --> 03:02:20,201
Fine.
2502
03:03:15,673 --> 03:03:16,924
Thank you.
2503
03:03:21,721 --> 03:03:24,432
l apologize for
raising my voice earlier.
2504
03:03:24,640 --> 03:03:26,308
lt was very disrespectful.
2505
03:03:26,517 --> 03:03:29,019
Brother Minister, l understand.
2506
03:03:37,987 --> 03:03:39,238
Why styles are changing...
2507
03:03:39,655 --> 03:03:42,366
...minds are changing,
why everything is changing.
2508
03:03:43,200 --> 03:03:47,162
So you and l must consider that
we're living in very changing times.
2509
03:03:47,579 --> 03:03:51,125
And what might be true today
may not be true tomorrow.
2510
03:03:51,959 --> 03:03:54,670
And without any further ado,
l present to you...
2511
03:03:55,087 --> 03:03:57,798
...Brother Minister Malcolm.
And l pray...
2512
03:03:58,215 --> 03:04:01,969
...that you and l will listen.
Listen...
2513
03:04:02,594 --> 03:04:05,097
...hear and understand.
2514
03:04:05,305 --> 03:04:06,140
Thank you.
2515
03:04:13,230 --> 03:04:14,481
Daddy!
2516
03:04:28,870 --> 03:04:30,956
Get your hand out of my pocket!
2517
03:04:32,624 --> 03:04:33,875
Brother....
2518
03:04:34,084 --> 03:04:35,127
Please. Hold it.
2519
03:04:36,795 --> 03:04:38,880
Calm down.
Please, brothers!
2520
03:04:39,089 --> 03:04:39,923
Brothers....
2521
03:05:21,631 --> 03:05:23,716
Get an ambulance!
2522
03:05:23,925 --> 03:05:24,968
Get an ambulance!
2523
03:05:25,176 --> 03:05:26,427
They killed him!
2524
03:05:28,096 --> 03:05:30,181
They killed him!
2525
03:06:49,218 --> 03:06:50,678
Get out of the way!
2526
03:06:55,891 --> 03:06:56,725
Move!
2527
03:07:05,067 --> 03:07:06,527
Stand back!
2528
03:07:06,944 --> 03:07:07,986
Get back!
2529
03:07:09,863 --> 03:07:12,366
Give us a statement, sir!
Please!
2530
03:07:12,574 --> 03:07:16,119
The person you know
as Malcolm X is no more.
2531
03:07:16,328 --> 03:07:18,413
The assassination...
2532
03:07:18,622 --> 03:07:22,167
...of Malcolm X
was an unfortunate tragedy.
2533
03:07:22,584 --> 03:07:25,295
And it reveals
that there are still...
2534
03:07:25,712 --> 03:07:28,632
...numerous people
in our nation who have...
2535
03:07:29,049 --> 03:07:33,637
...degenerated to the point of
expressing dissent through murder...
2536
03:07:33,845 --> 03:07:36,139
...and we haven't learned
to disagree...
2537
03:07:36,348 --> 03:07:38,433
...without being
violently disagreeable.
2538
03:07:39,685 --> 03:07:40,727
Here...
2539
03:07:41,561 --> 03:07:44,272
...at this final hour...
2540
03:07:44,898 --> 03:07:46,983
...in this quiet place...
2541
03:07:47,818 --> 03:07:50,112
...Harlem has come to bid farewell...
2542
03:07:50,320 --> 03:07:52,614
...to one of its brightest hopes...
2543
03:07:53,657 --> 03:07:55,742
...extinguished now...
2544
03:07:56,159 --> 03:07:58,870
...and gone from us forever.
2545
03:07:59,704 --> 03:08:02,832
It is not in the memory
of man that this...
2546
03:08:03,041 --> 03:08:04,501
...beleaguered, unfortunate...
2547
03:08:04,709 --> 03:08:06,795
...but nonetheless proud community...
2548
03:08:07,212 --> 03:08:11,591
...has found a braver,
more gallant young champion...
2549
03:08:12,008 --> 03:08:15,345
...than this Afro-American
who lies before us...
2550
03:08:16,388 --> 03:08:18,264
...unconquered still.
2551
03:08:20,141 --> 03:08:22,644
I say the word again as
he would want me to:
2552
03:08:22,852 --> 03:08:24,104
Afro-American.
2553
03:08:24,312 --> 03:08:27,649
Afro-American Malcolm.
2554
03:08:27,857 --> 03:08:30,568
Malcolm had stopped being "Negro"...
2555
03:08:30,777 --> 03:08:32,237
...years ago.
2556
03:08:32,445 --> 03:08:37,450
It had become too small, too puny,
too weak a word for him.
2557
03:08:37,659 --> 03:08:39,953
Malcolm was bigger than that.
2558
03:08:40,161 --> 03:08:41,412
Malcolm had become...
2559
03:08:41,621 --> 03:08:43,915
...an Afro-American.
2560
03:08:44,123 --> 03:08:46,417
And he wanted so desperately...
2561
03:08:47,043 --> 03:08:49,545
...that we,
that all his people...
2562
03:08:49,754 --> 03:08:52,882
...would become Afro-Americans too.
2563
03:08:56,844 --> 03:09:00,389
There are those who
still consider it their duty...
2564
03:09:00,598 --> 03:09:04,352
...as friends of the Negro people,
to tell us...
2565
03:09:04,769 --> 03:09:06,437
...to revile him.
2566
03:09:06,646 --> 03:09:09,982
To flee, even from
the presence of his memory.
2567
03:09:10,191 --> 03:09:11,859
To save ourselves...
2568
03:09:12,068 --> 03:09:16,447
...by writing him out of
the history of our turbulent times.
2569
03:09:16,864 --> 03:09:18,950
And we will smile.
2570
03:09:19,367 --> 03:09:21,661
They will say that
he is of hate, a fanatic...
2571
03:09:21,869 --> 03:09:24,789
...a racist, who can only bring
evil to the cause...
2572
03:09:24,997 --> 03:09:26,457
...for which you struggle.
2573
03:09:26,666 --> 03:09:29,585
And we will answer and
say unto them:
2574
03:09:29,794 --> 03:09:31,879
"Did you ever talk...
2575
03:09:32,088 --> 03:09:33,756
...to Brother Malcolm?
2576
03:09:34,382 --> 03:09:36,258
Did you ever touch him...
2577
03:09:36,467 --> 03:09:38,552
...or have him smile at you?
2578
03:09:38,761 --> 03:09:41,263
Did you ever really listen to him?"
2579
03:09:43,349 --> 03:09:47,728
"Was he ever associated with violence
or any public disturbance?
2580
03:09:47,937 --> 03:09:50,648
For if you did, you would know him.
2581
03:09:50,856 --> 03:09:52,524
And if you knew him...
2582
03:09:52,733 --> 03:09:56,487
...you would know why
we must honor him. "
2583
03:09:56,695 --> 03:10:00,866
Malcolm was our manhood.
Our living, black manhood.
2584
03:10:01,283 --> 03:10:03,160
This was his meaning
to his people.
2585
03:10:03,577 --> 03:10:08,165
And in honoring him, we honor
the best in ourselves.
2586
03:10:09,416 --> 03:10:12,127
However much we may have
differed with him...
2587
03:10:12,336 --> 03:10:15,464
...or with each other about him
and his value as a man...
2588
03:10:15,672 --> 03:10:17,758
...let his going from us serve...
2589
03:10:17,966 --> 03:10:21,094
...only to bring us together now...
2590
03:10:22,137 --> 03:10:24,640
...consigning these mortal
remains to earth...
2591
03:10:25,265 --> 03:10:27,351
...the common mother of all...
2592
03:10:27,559 --> 03:10:30,896
...secure in the knowledge
that what we place in the ground...
2593
03:10:31,104 --> 03:10:32,356
...is no more now a man...
2594
03:10:32,564 --> 03:10:34,232
...but a seed...
2595
03:10:34,441 --> 03:10:37,361
...which after the winter of
our discontent...
2596
03:10:37,569 --> 03:10:40,489
...will come forth again
to meet us.
2597
03:10:40,697 --> 03:10:42,991
And we shall know him then...
2598
03:10:43,200 --> 03:10:46,119
...for what he was and is:
2599
03:10:46,328 --> 03:10:47,996
A prince.
2600
03:10:48,205 --> 03:10:51,750
Our own black shining prince...
2601
03:10:52,584 --> 03:10:55,712
...who didn't hesitate to die...
2602
03:10:56,129 --> 03:10:57,380
...because...
2603
03:10:58,006 --> 03:10:59,674
...he loved us so.
2604
03:11:00,509 --> 03:11:01,551
And so today...
2605
03:11:01,760 --> 03:11:05,096
...May 19, we celebrate
Malcolm X's birthday...
2606
03:11:05,305 --> 03:11:09,059
...because he was
a great, great Afro-American.
2607
03:11:09,267 --> 03:11:11,978
Malcolm X is you, all of you.
2608
03:11:12,395 --> 03:11:14,481
And you are Malcolm X.
2609
03:11:15,106 --> 03:11:16,149
l'm Malcolm X!
2610
03:11:16,358 --> 03:11:17,400
l'm Malcolm X!
2611
03:11:17,609 --> 03:11:18,443
l'm Malcolm X!
2612
03:11:28,036 --> 03:11:30,538
As Brother Malcolm said:
2613
03:11:33,249 --> 03:11:35,126
"We declare...
2614
03:11:36,586 --> 03:11:38,254
...our right...
2615
03:11:40,340 --> 03:11:42,008
...on this earth...
2616
03:11:43,468 --> 03:11:44,928
...to be a man...
2617
03:11:47,221 --> 03:11:49,515
...to be a human being...
2618
03:11:51,601 --> 03:11:54,103
...to be given the rights...
2619
03:11:54,937 --> 03:11:56,606
...of a human being...
2620
03:11:58,483 --> 03:12:00,360
...to be respected...
2621
03:12:01,402 --> 03:12:03,696
...as a human being...
2622
03:12:04,530 --> 03:12:06,824
...in this society...
2623
03:12:08,075 --> 03:12:09,952
...on this earth...
2624
03:12:11,412 --> 03:12:13,289
...in this day...
2625
03:12:13,915 --> 03:12:16,417
...which we intend to bring...
2626
03:12:16,626 --> 03:12:18,085
...into existence--"
2627
03:12:18,294 --> 03:12:21,005
--by any means necessary!
