1
00:00:33,725 --> 00:00:37,158
[man] I think one of the most
emotional moments of my life
2
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,195
was the night that
I was initiated into the Klan.
3
00:00:40,197 --> 00:00:42,765
I was led into the Klavern
hall, which was dark.
4
00:00:42,767 --> 00:00:45,033
The only light that I could
see was a fiery cross.
5
00:00:45,034 --> 00:00:47,037
And that...
put me through the ceremony.
6
00:00:47,539 --> 00:00:49,204
Purified me with water.
7
00:00:49,207 --> 00:00:50,941
Laid his hand
on my shoulder, says,
8
00:00:50,942 --> 00:00:52,575
"You're part of
the Invisible Empire,
9
00:00:52,576 --> 00:00:54,679
United Klans of America."
10
00:00:55,045 --> 00:00:58,179
And there was a tremendous
applause throughout the auditorium.
11
00:00:58,182 --> 00:01:00,884
And I came up off the floor
really in tears.
12
00:01:00,886 --> 00:01:03,351
Because that's what I'd been
looking for all my life.
13
00:01:03,353 --> 00:01:06,989
An opportunity to be heard,
an opportunity to be something.
14
00:01:06,992 --> 00:01:09,358
- [woman] I first told him, "Hell no!"
- [audience laughs]
15
00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:12,694
I would never, ever.
But kill him, that's all I want.
16
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:14,432
That was on my heart
to kill him.
17
00:01:15,064 --> 00:01:17,632
This is the kind of reputation
that I have in Durham.
18
00:01:17,635 --> 00:01:20,069
I'm not bragging about it,
but it is the truth.
19
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:23,206
You can call Durham,
and they will tell you.
20
00:01:23,674 --> 00:01:28,144
Uh, no, I will not take no for an answer.
I have to have the word "yes."
21
00:01:28,146 --> 00:01:31,748
Because all of our blood,
when it comes out, is the same color.
22
00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:35,051
I haven't seen any blood different
yet than the color of mine.
23
00:01:35,054 --> 00:01:38,388
And I'm sayin' whatever you believe in...
I keep sayin' it...
24
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:41,426
- stand on it, baby, stand on it.
- [audience applauding]
25
00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:53,872
[crowd clamoring]
26
00:01:58,242 --> 00:02:00,411
[clamoring continues]
27
00:02:05,215 --> 00:02:08,217
[chanting] Equal housing now!
Equal housing now!
28
00:02:08,218 --> 00:02:10,086
Equal housing now!
29
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:12,790
[woman] They call this Magic
City, Mr. Atkins.
30
00:02:13,558 --> 00:02:15,326
Ain't no magic here.
31
00:02:16,228 --> 00:02:20,263
Abe Greenfeld ain't nothin'
but a vile slumlord.
32
00:02:20,264 --> 00:02:21,731
You know it, and I know it.
33
00:02:21,734 --> 00:02:24,234
And the black people
of East Durham
34
00:02:24,235 --> 00:02:26,504
have the same rights
as anybody else.
35
00:02:27,538 --> 00:02:30,139
This girl, Mr. Atkins,
36
00:02:30,141 --> 00:02:35,413
this young lady is a single
mother of three children.
37
00:02:36,115 --> 00:02:39,985
And she wake up this morning
to an eviction notice.
38
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:44,588
- But there's no hot water. What, baby, for two weeks?
- That's right, Miss A.
39
00:02:44,591 --> 00:02:47,625
- Two weeks, and you say, what? No toilet?
- No toilet.
40
00:02:47,627 --> 00:02:51,031
No toilet. And that ain't
no way for no human to live.
41
00:02:57,603 --> 00:02:59,201
[stifled laugh]
42
00:02:59,204 --> 00:03:02,608
Mr. Atkins,
we done writin' letters here.
43
00:03:03,109 --> 00:03:05,176
We want to be heard before
tomorrow night's ruling.
44
00:03:05,645 --> 00:03:08,612
Miss Atwater,
you know our agenda is tight,
45
00:03:08,615 --> 00:03:12,683
and we simply cannot allot time
to everybody that wants to speak.
46
00:03:12,686 --> 00:03:16,086
- [telephone rings]
- Now thank you. Show yourselves out.
47
00:03:16,088 --> 00:03:19,657
Mr. Tucker, to what
do I owe this pleasure?
48
00:03:19,658 --> 00:03:21,828
- Sit down.
- [Atkins laughs]
49
00:03:22,328 --> 00:03:25,431
And a mighty fine afternoon
to you, too.
50
00:03:26,033 --> 00:03:29,199
Now you listen to me, Councilman!
And you too, Mr. Tucker!
51
00:03:29,201 --> 00:03:32,502
We ain't goin' nowhere until
we get down to the brass tacks.
52
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:34,664
- You understand me?
- Everything all right here, Bill?
53
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:40,545
Mr. Oldham, now we have been
sitting here for over half an hour.
54
00:03:40,546 --> 00:03:42,748
- The councilman ain't done nothin' but...
- Ann.
55
00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:47,086
Ann. We're gonna give you your
chance to speak tomorrow night.
56
00:03:49,222 --> 00:03:50,355
Are we good now?
57
00:03:52,224 --> 00:03:53,860
[chuckles] Not yet.
58
00:03:55,996 --> 00:03:57,063
Come on.
59
00:04:04,805 --> 00:04:06,873
[insects buzzing]
60
00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:12,009
[man] Samuel Grace. Ayes?
61
00:04:12,012 --> 00:04:14,147
- [all] Aye.
- Nays?
62
00:04:15,515 --> 00:04:19,317
Okay, then. Fred Eggert,
Gene Waddle, and Samuel Grace
63
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:21,519
are tentatively approved
as new citizens
64
00:04:21,521 --> 00:04:23,654
of North Carolina Unit Nine
of the Invisible Empire,
65
00:04:23,656 --> 00:04:25,189
United Klans of America.
66
00:04:25,192 --> 00:04:27,725
Kligraph is directed
to certify the petitions
67
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:30,360
and prepare the oaths
for ceremony.
68
00:04:30,362 --> 00:04:31,764
Roy, next week should be fine.
69
00:04:33,033 --> 00:04:35,834
Final item.
Combat and firearms training
70
00:04:35,836 --> 00:04:37,805
resumes this Saturday
from noon to 4:00
71
00:04:38,471 --> 00:04:41,776
under the supervision of
second officer Floyd Kelly.
72
00:04:42,442 --> 00:04:45,944
And I'll remind the Youth Corps members
that this training is mandatory.
73
00:04:45,946 --> 00:04:48,447
Y'all hear me?
I'm talkin' to you.
74
00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:50,651
- Yeah.
- [men chuckling]
75
00:04:51,418 --> 00:04:52,620
Let's bow our heads.
76
00:04:56,091 --> 00:04:58,891
Heavenly Father, give us strong
minds, great hearts,
77
00:04:58,893 --> 00:05:00,827
true faith, and ready hands.
78
00:05:01,262 --> 00:05:03,896
Keep us unfettered
from the world
79
00:05:03,899 --> 00:05:05,329
that we might fight
the good fight
80
00:05:05,331 --> 00:05:07,399
and be worthy
to claim the prize.
81
00:05:07,401 --> 00:05:11,872
May we as brethren and Klansmen
be steadfast and unremovable.
82
00:05:12,305 --> 00:05:14,038
As we go hence from this Klavern
83
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,375
into the struggle
of the alien world,
84
00:05:17,011 --> 00:05:21,781
let us not forget the crowning
glory of a Klansman is to serve.
85
00:05:22,415 --> 00:05:24,750
Non silba, sed anthar.
86
00:05:24,752 --> 00:05:27,620
[all]
Not for self, but for others!
87
00:05:28,189 --> 00:05:29,887
- Get him ready.
- Mm-hmm.
88
00:05:29,889 --> 00:05:31,856
- You can say that again.
- He was born ready.
89
00:05:31,858 --> 00:05:32,894
Ready or not.
90
00:05:33,961 --> 00:05:35,029
Mr. Ellis?
91
00:05:35,528 --> 00:05:37,396
Oh, hey.
92
00:05:37,398 --> 00:05:39,932
This is, uh, this is the new
boy I was telling you about.
93
00:05:39,935 --> 00:05:42,067
Oh, sure. Sure, sure.
94
00:05:42,069 --> 00:05:43,870
Sure, Ben.
Come on in the office.
95
00:05:43,872 --> 00:05:45,206
I'll see you fellas.
96
00:05:47,843 --> 00:05:49,110
Have a seat.
97
00:05:53,981 --> 00:05:55,514
What's your name, son?
98
00:05:55,516 --> 00:05:57,319
[clears throat] Leonard, sir.
99
00:05:59,221 --> 00:06:00,788
Don't be nervous, Leonard.
100
00:06:01,754 --> 00:06:04,259
Ben here tells me you'd like to
be a part of the Youth Corps.
101
00:06:05,125 --> 00:06:06,261
Yes. Yes, sir.
102
00:06:07,829 --> 00:06:09,964
Why do you want to be in
the Youth Corps, Leonard?
103
00:06:10,665 --> 00:06:12,334
[clears throat] To help...
104
00:06:12,834 --> 00:06:15,735
To help protect
the white race of America
105
00:06:15,737 --> 00:06:19,875
from the communist niggers
and Jews who threaten us, sir.
106
00:06:20,675 --> 00:06:22,345
- That's a good boy.
- [desk drawer opens]
107
00:06:23,411 --> 00:06:25,812
- But that's not all.
- [drawer slides shut]
108
00:06:25,814 --> 00:06:28,348
It's our rights, our freedoms,
109
00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:30,384
our way of life
that need protecting.
110
00:06:31,153 --> 00:06:33,452
We're an endangered species,
Leonard.
111
00:06:33,454 --> 00:06:34,456
You understand?
112
00:06:35,091 --> 00:06:36,091
I do.
113
00:06:38,093 --> 00:06:39,262
Let me show you something.
114
00:06:39,829 --> 00:06:41,029
You see that?
115
00:06:42,064 --> 00:06:44,298
One day, this will be
your most prized possession.
116
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:46,701
It will give you everything
you need in your life.
117
00:06:47,168 --> 00:06:51,338
Brotherhood, standing in the
community, and a sense of pride
118
00:06:51,906 --> 00:06:54,209
that you're part of something
bigger than yourself.
119
00:06:55,209 --> 00:06:59,382
But most importantly,
it will be a reminder every day
120
00:07:00,048 --> 00:07:02,716
that you will no longer be
an outsider.
121
00:07:06,654 --> 00:07:07,689
[box shuts]
122
00:07:08,324 --> 00:07:10,225
Welcome to the Youth Corps,
Leonard.
123
00:07:11,326 --> 00:07:12,560
[knocking]
124
00:07:13,362 --> 00:07:14,963
We gonna
take care of that thing?
125
00:07:15,264 --> 00:07:16,365
Yeah.
126
00:07:16,899 --> 00:07:19,302
Ben, bring the car around,
out back.
127
00:07:31,081 --> 00:07:32,648
[engine off]
128
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:48,463
Now what?
129
00:07:53,935 --> 00:07:55,004
We wait.
130
00:07:57,105 --> 00:07:58,641
[man chuckling]
131
00:08:02,644 --> 00:08:04,947
- [radio: Man singing ballad]
- [humming along]
132
00:08:20,963 --> 00:08:23,733
[song continues on radio,
muffled]
133
00:08:31,139 --> 00:08:32,540
[engine off]
134
00:08:35,278 --> 00:08:36,511
[car door opens]
135
00:08:39,581 --> 00:08:41,217
[dog howls]
136
00:08:47,356 --> 00:08:49,236
- She got a nigger boyfriend.
- [lighter clicks]
137
00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:51,861
The neighbors have
been complaining.
138
00:08:57,467 --> 00:08:58,503
Stay here.
139
00:09:00,169 --> 00:09:02,839
[song continues]
140
00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:25,695
Wait for the light, Wiley.
141
00:09:35,871 --> 00:09:36,907
[screams]
142
00:10:13,677 --> 00:10:15,678
[chorus vocalizing, fading out]
143
00:10:17,914 --> 00:10:21,318
- [telephones ringing]
- [typewriters clacking]
144
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:23,818
[sighs]
145
00:10:23,821 --> 00:10:26,456
Hey. Thank you. Mm-hmm.
146
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:28,259
Miss Dupree.
147
00:10:29,427 --> 00:10:33,197
Miss Dupree... Yes, I know,
Miss Dupree, but...
148
00:10:34,764 --> 00:10:35,866
Hold on, Miss Dupree.
149
00:10:36,567 --> 00:10:38,567
Miss Dupree says
she can't make it. Her kids...
150
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:39,836
Oh, no. Come here.
151
00:10:40,471 --> 00:10:43,706
Cissy, you better get your ass
down to City Hall tonight.
152
00:10:43,707 --> 00:10:45,476
No, no,
I don't want to hear that.
153
00:10:45,710 --> 00:10:48,476
I have been a single mother
ever since I was 16,
154
00:10:48,479 --> 00:10:50,513
and that's a whole hell
of a lot longer than you.
155
00:10:50,514 --> 00:10:53,215
- [chuckles]
- Well, child, it's supposed to be hard.
156
00:10:53,216 --> 00:10:55,317
Are you gonna be there
later tonight or what?
157
00:10:55,318 --> 00:10:58,587
I better see your face
lookin' black and angry.
158
00:10:58,590 --> 00:10:59,754
Mm-hmm.
159
00:10:59,756 --> 00:11:00,991
Who's next?
160
00:11:07,298 --> 00:11:08,634
[bell dings]
161
00:11:16,274 --> 00:11:18,376
Hey, Jeb, I'll take this one.
162
00:11:18,943 --> 00:11:20,379
[Jeb] Sure, Mr. Ellis.
163
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:23,282
- Finish up that tire for me, will you?
- All right.
164
00:11:35,725 --> 00:11:36,966
Can you fill the place tonight?
165
00:11:37,528 --> 00:11:39,663
You know I can, Carvie.
What's up?
166
00:11:39,664 --> 00:11:41,533
We're ruling
on Greenfeld tonight.
167
00:11:41,966 --> 00:11:44,533
Ann Atwater and all her
Operation Breakthrough niggers
168
00:11:44,536 --> 00:11:46,937
are gonna make a scene.
I just need numbers.
169
00:11:46,938 --> 00:11:49,875
Jesus. Greenfeld.
You gonna help that scum?
170
00:11:50,174 --> 00:11:52,244
[Carvie chuckles]
You know, C.P...
171
00:11:53,010 --> 00:11:55,511
Reelection here.
He got deep pockets.
172
00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,683
I need to
at least appear supportive.
173
00:11:59,717 --> 00:12:01,919
And you need to keep your
friends on the city council.
174
00:12:02,386 --> 00:12:06,889
- [car door opens, closes]
- I know, Carvie. We'll be there.
175
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:10,028
[soul plays; Hands clapping]
176
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,738
[song continues]
177
00:12:41,693 --> 00:12:43,028
[song stops]
178
00:12:47,667 --> 00:12:50,269
[C.P.] Oh, you late. Yeah.
179
00:12:51,738 --> 00:12:53,903
I guess that's
what they call Africa time.
180
00:12:53,905 --> 00:12:55,373
[men laugh]
181
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,934
[female clerk]
First item on the docket.
182
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:59,711
In the matter of the
Edgemont community housing,
183
00:12:59,712 --> 00:13:02,413
the council will first hear
from Mr. Paulsen,
184
00:13:02,414 --> 00:13:04,615
representing Mr. Greenfeld.
185
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:06,251
[spectators groaning, murmuring]
186
00:13:08,489 --> 00:13:09,490
Good evening.
187
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:13,591
As you know,
Mr. Greenfeld prides himself
188
00:13:13,592 --> 00:13:16,960
on providing comfortable
housing at affordable rent
189
00:13:16,961 --> 00:13:19,429
to a great many people
in Durham.
190
00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:21,065
- [murmuring]
- [gavel raps]
191
00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:23,000
The council will hear
Mr. Paulsen.
192
00:13:23,001 --> 00:13:25,970
As with any dwelling,
from time to time,
193
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:29,974
there undoubtedly will be some...
wear and tear.
194
00:13:29,975 --> 00:13:34,110
- [laughing, scoffing]
- Mr. Greenfeld fully intends to address any of these issues
195
00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:35,515
that these folks might have.
196
00:13:36,215 --> 00:13:39,350
However, with
the recent inclement weather,
197
00:13:39,352 --> 00:13:43,254
Mr. Greenfeld has had insufficient
time to get to everyone.
198
00:13:43,256 --> 00:13:44,823
That's a lie.
199
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:47,091
- [gavel raps]
- We ask that the council grant us
200
00:13:47,094 --> 00:13:50,630
the 90-day extension
for these minor repairs.
201
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:52,332
Thank you.
202
00:13:52,966 --> 00:13:54,033
Miss Atwater?
203
00:14:11,818 --> 00:14:16,121
Uncomfortable housing
and unaffordable rent
204
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:21,259
are about the only two things
Abe Greenfeld has ever given us.
205
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:23,028
[exclaiming, applauding]
206
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:25,897
Now, I have here with me
207
00:14:25,899 --> 00:14:31,304
79 written complaints from
the residents of Edgemont.
208
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,972
Each and every last one of
them is a code violation.
209
00:14:34,975 --> 00:14:37,945
- [exclaiming, applauding]
- [gavel raps]
210
00:14:38,513 --> 00:14:40,812
I brought 'em here with me
'cause, obviously,
211
00:14:40,815 --> 00:14:43,414
you ain't get 'em the first couple
times when they were sent here.
212
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:46,687
[exclaiming, applauding]
213
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:49,086
- [gavel raps]
- Order!
214
00:14:49,088 --> 00:14:51,990
Now we are fed up with this man
215
00:14:51,991 --> 00:14:55,562
and his eviction notices
and his rent hikes.
216
00:14:56,196 --> 00:15:00,200
He has absolutely no care for
his tenants' living conditions.
217
00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:04,101
We humans. Humans shouldn't
have to live like this.
218
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:06,370
[clamoring]
219
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:08,676
[gavel rapping]
220
00:15:09,042 --> 00:15:11,476
Thank you for your comments,
Miss Atwater.
221
00:15:11,479 --> 00:15:13,912
And I will personally
222
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:16,148
pass those complaints
on to the housing commission
223
00:15:16,149 --> 00:15:18,720
for future review.
224
00:15:19,354 --> 00:15:22,687
At this time,
the council will grant
225
00:15:22,690 --> 00:15:24,725
the requested 90-day extension.
226
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:28,395
Thank you all. This council will
now stand in recess till next week.
227
00:15:31,533 --> 00:15:32,600
Bye.
228
00:15:36,370 --> 00:15:37,889
[woman] Put down that
paper, Claiborne.
229
00:15:38,773 --> 00:15:41,307
- Put it down.
- All right. Okay, Mama.
230
00:15:43,143 --> 00:15:44,678
- Daddy.
- Huh?
231
00:15:45,077 --> 00:15:46,980
Hey, it's time
to visit with your children.
232
00:15:47,581 --> 00:15:50,451
- Claiborne!
- I'm visiting. I-I...
233
00:15:51,152 --> 00:15:52,320
I'm visiting.
234
00:15:54,288 --> 00:15:55,823
How's your marks, Tim?
235
00:15:57,258 --> 00:15:58,759
[mother]
Tim, answer your father.
236
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:01,962
I'm gettin' an "F" in math.
237
00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:03,669
- That's 'cause you're stupid.
- Hey!
238
00:16:05,634 --> 00:16:07,668
Well, I know it ain't for
a lack of trying, son.
239
00:16:07,669 --> 00:16:09,937
Maybe your teacher can give you
a little extra time after school.
240
00:16:09,938 --> 00:16:11,573
I don't think this teacher.
241
00:16:13,942 --> 00:16:15,275
Why not?
242
00:16:15,811 --> 00:16:17,947
She said I just ain't got
a head for numbers, Daddy.
243
00:16:18,379 --> 00:16:20,614
She said
that don't matter, though.
244
00:16:20,615 --> 00:16:23,116
Said I'll just work in the gas
station with you when I grow up.
245
00:16:28,623 --> 00:16:29,657
Yeah.
246
00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:32,961
Maybe this teacher
ain't so smart.
247
00:16:35,230 --> 00:16:38,129
I'm gonna stop in at Murdock this
morning before I go in. See your brother.
248
00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:40,332
- Give him a kiss for us, Daddy.
- You bet.
249
00:16:40,335 --> 00:16:41,870
I don't like that place.
250
00:16:42,135 --> 00:16:43,971
That's 'cause it's full of
weirdos and retards.
251
00:16:43,972 --> 00:16:45,306
Kenneth Wade!
252
00:16:45,807 --> 00:16:47,640
Don't be
calling your brother that.
253
00:16:47,643 --> 00:16:49,408
I wasn't talking about him.
254
00:16:49,411 --> 00:16:51,614
- He just ain't as lucky as you is all.
- That's right.
255
00:16:52,413 --> 00:16:53,414
I'm sorry.
256
00:16:53,816 --> 00:16:55,584
You be sorry
cleanin' that table.
257
00:16:56,317 --> 00:16:57,552
Yes, sir.
258
00:17:00,456 --> 00:17:02,258
I better go.
Give me some sugar, sugar.
259
00:17:02,557 --> 00:17:03,725
Bye, Daddy.
260
00:17:06,327 --> 00:17:08,497
[Ann] Let's go, girls.
Move your backsides.
261
00:17:12,232 --> 00:17:13,334
Marilynn.
262
00:17:14,067 --> 00:17:17,538
Marilynn!
Girl, you forgot your lunch.
263
00:17:17,539 --> 00:17:21,041
You'd forget your head if it wasn't
attached to your shoulders. Go on now.
264
00:17:33,689 --> 00:17:36,325
[nurse] Hey, come on.
Help me out here.
265
00:17:40,061 --> 00:17:41,096
Come on.
266
00:17:48,237 --> 00:17:50,271
No. You gotta help me out here.
267
00:17:51,205 --> 00:17:52,241
Hey, buddy.
268
00:17:53,242 --> 00:17:54,277
Hey, buddy.
269
00:17:55,045 --> 00:17:56,112
It's Daddy.
270
00:17:57,279 --> 00:17:58,882
How you doing, pumpkin?
271
00:17:59,381 --> 00:18:00,614
You have breakfast yet?
272
00:18:00,615 --> 00:18:02,217
Pancakes this morning.
273
00:18:02,518 --> 00:18:04,954
Oh! Hey, buddy,
that's your favorite.
274
00:18:07,824 --> 00:18:08,924
Thank you.
275
00:18:13,028 --> 00:18:16,265
You got eggs and maple syrup.
276
00:18:16,932 --> 00:18:19,970
[humming
"Oh My Darlin' Clementine"]
277
00:18:23,405 --> 00:18:25,375
Supposed to cut this up
ahead of time.
278
00:18:26,576 --> 00:18:28,411
He can't swallow all this.
279
00:18:30,547 --> 00:18:31,748
There you go.
280
00:18:32,382 --> 00:18:33,750
There you go.
281
00:18:37,721 --> 00:18:41,957
So you must multiply
the three on this side by two.
282
00:18:41,959 --> 00:18:45,259
But remember,
whatever you do to the bottom,
283
00:18:45,260 --> 00:18:46,962
you must do to the top, right?
284
00:18:48,297 --> 00:18:49,963
Good.
So, I want you to go ahead,
285
00:18:49,965 --> 00:18:52,001
work out the equations
that I gave you.
286
00:18:53,903 --> 00:18:56,135
Let's do the next one,
let's see what you come up with.
287
00:18:56,137 --> 00:18:57,606
All right?
288
00:18:59,075 --> 00:19:01,608
[metallic creaking]
289
00:19:01,611 --> 00:19:03,846
[alarm bell ringing]
290
00:19:07,784 --> 00:19:09,586
[children screaming, shouting]
291
00:19:11,087 --> 00:19:12,255
[woman] Don't...
292
00:19:20,664 --> 00:19:22,465
[coughing]
293
00:19:28,806 --> 00:19:31,241
[sirens approaching]
294
00:19:31,776 --> 00:19:32,843
Over here. Come on.
295
00:19:33,309 --> 00:19:35,244
[rings]
296
00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:38,647
Ann Atwater.
297
00:19:41,417 --> 00:19:42,451
Hey, baby.
298
00:19:44,888 --> 00:19:46,089
- [Marilynn] Mama!
- Oh!
299
00:19:46,556 --> 00:19:48,057
Thank God. [Exhales]
300
00:19:48,058 --> 00:19:50,159
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
301
00:19:50,161 --> 00:19:52,663
Okay, baby. You go wait in the car.
I'll be right there.
302
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:56,865
- Is anybody hurt?
- Everyone's okay. Just lots of smoke.
303
00:19:56,866 --> 00:19:58,299
How did it start?
304
00:19:58,301 --> 00:19:59,701
[man] Most likely electrical,
305
00:19:59,703 --> 00:20:01,202
the way they keep this place up.
306
00:20:01,204 --> 00:20:03,538
Or it could've been set
on purpose.
307
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:05,910
No. Klan ain't that stupid.
308
00:20:06,376 --> 00:20:07,444
[man] Why do you say that?
309
00:20:08,378 --> 00:20:10,413
When a black school burns,
then...
310
00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:13,584
Then what?
311
00:20:16,087 --> 00:20:18,690
Then the black kids
gotta find a new school.
312
00:20:20,726 --> 00:20:22,626
[laughter]
313
00:20:27,998 --> 00:20:30,398
Turns out,
he left the thing in neutral.
314
00:20:30,401 --> 00:20:32,567
It rolls
right back into the ravine.
315
00:20:32,569 --> 00:20:34,737
They didn't find that truck
for two weeks.
316
00:20:34,739 --> 00:20:38,240
Oh, are you talking about how
small your pecker is again, Wiley?
317
00:20:38,241 --> 00:20:40,844
- [laughter]
- That ain't funny, Doreen.
318
00:20:40,846 --> 00:20:43,949
Yeah, it ain't that kind of funny.
That's for sure.
319
00:20:49,788 --> 00:20:52,455
[song on jukebox, muffled]
320
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,736
[laughing]
321
00:21:06,304 --> 00:21:08,141
[Floyd] You-You wait...
322
00:21:12,243 --> 00:21:13,878
The guy's got one arm.
323
00:21:14,846 --> 00:21:15,846
C.P.
324
00:21:16,882 --> 00:21:20,684
Garland... Garland Keith, my friend.
You're out late.
325
00:21:21,484 --> 00:21:24,220
- You wanna have a seat?
- No, thank you. Gentlemen.
326
00:21:24,221 --> 00:21:27,390
Well, something must be awfully
important for you to lower yourself
327
00:21:27,392 --> 00:21:29,592
- to come to a dump like this, Garland.
- Floyd, come on now.
328
00:21:29,594 --> 00:21:30,796
No, no. Mm-mmm.
329
00:21:31,462 --> 00:21:33,797
I like
the White Citizens' Council,
330
00:21:33,798 --> 00:21:37,233
with their parade floats and
their fancy country club meetings.
331
00:21:37,236 --> 00:21:41,070
I'm always honored to mop up after
'em, do the dirty work.
332
00:21:41,073 --> 00:21:43,306
You'll have to excuse Mr. Kelly.
It's been a long week.
333
00:21:43,307 --> 00:21:46,242
[Garland] Sorry to say it's
about to get a bit longer.
334
00:21:46,244 --> 00:21:49,612
There was a fire out at
East End Elementary today.
335
00:21:49,614 --> 00:21:51,348
So what? It's a black school.
336
00:21:52,517 --> 00:21:56,352
The parents have already filed
a petition to allow the students
337
00:21:56,354 --> 00:21:59,557
to finish out the year
at Durham Elementary School.
338
00:22:00,192 --> 00:22:03,028
There's an emergency
council meeting tomorrow.
339
00:22:05,529 --> 00:22:08,400
Well... Ann Atwater?
340
00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:10,468
I think so.
341
00:22:11,269 --> 00:22:13,769
[C.P.] This ain't no small
landlord dispute, Garland.
342
00:22:13,771 --> 00:22:15,539
We gonna need everybody
on this one.
343
00:22:16,674 --> 00:22:18,476
Well, that's why I'm here, C.P.
344
00:22:25,852 --> 00:22:27,153
Were you scared?
345
00:22:29,422 --> 00:22:30,455
A little.
346
00:22:31,523 --> 00:22:32,724
[sighs]
347
00:22:34,693 --> 00:22:36,394
It's gonna be all right, okay?
348
00:22:37,797 --> 00:22:39,699
All right, baby?
You get some rest.
349
00:22:40,499 --> 00:22:42,201
Try to go to sleep, okay?
350
00:22:46,173 --> 00:22:47,372
You warm enough?
351
00:22:47,807 --> 00:22:49,173
[Marilynn] Mm-hmm.
352
00:22:49,174 --> 00:22:50,674
[kisses, chuckles]
353
00:22:52,010 --> 00:22:53,278
- Mama?
- Mm-hmm?
354
00:22:55,181 --> 00:22:56,915
Where are we gonna
go to school now?
355
00:22:58,250 --> 00:23:00,051
Don't you worry
about a thing, okay?
356
00:23:01,453 --> 00:23:04,190
Mama gonna find you
somewhere real nice to go.
357
00:23:06,326 --> 00:23:07,593
Say your prayers.
358
00:23:10,762 --> 00:23:12,730
[male reporter]
The fire was strictly limited
359
00:23:12,731 --> 00:23:15,499
to the building's facilities
and perhaps equipment.
360
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,303
[man] I know your first appearance
here, you can't make an opinion...
361
00:23:18,305 --> 00:23:20,703
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to Tim's school.
362
00:23:20,705 --> 00:23:21,741
Mmm.
363
00:23:22,709 --> 00:23:24,843
Well, they gonna
put 'em somewhere.
364
00:23:24,845 --> 00:23:26,913
Ain't gonna be
in Durham Elementary.
365
00:23:27,413 --> 00:23:30,083
Tim having enough trouble
without more distractions.
366
00:23:32,051 --> 00:23:35,121
May have to look into one of them
private schools outside of town.
367
00:23:35,755 --> 00:23:39,722
- Oh, yeah. How we gonna pay for that?
- I'm workin' on it.
368
00:23:39,724 --> 00:23:42,994
It ain't gonna work until you start
sellin' gas to the other half of Durham.
369
00:23:48,335 --> 00:23:49,535
What's that supposed to mean?
370
00:23:50,202 --> 00:23:51,470
You know what it means.
371
00:23:52,038 --> 00:23:54,038
- That's not fair.
- Oh, fair.
372
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,942
- Hey.
- Come on. It's not fair, it's a fact.
373
00:23:56,943 --> 00:23:58,542
It's not fair
'cause you know I can't.
374
00:23:58,545 --> 00:24:00,311
How's it gonna look
if the president of the Klan
375
00:24:00,314 --> 00:24:02,212
is puttin' gasoline
in a nigger's car?
376
00:24:02,214 --> 00:24:04,115
- How's it gonna look to my Klan folk?
- Oh. Oh, I see.
377
00:24:04,116 --> 00:24:07,585
I... I didn't know
that the Klan pays your bills.
378
00:24:07,586 --> 00:24:10,055
- I didn't think so.
- [groans] Here we go.
379
00:24:10,057 --> 00:24:12,090
You spend all that time
at Klavern hall
380
00:24:12,093 --> 00:24:15,626
jaw-jackin' about them niggers
and them commies and them Jews.
381
00:24:15,628 --> 00:24:17,897
- I don't sound like that.
- Yeah, you do.
382
00:24:20,969 --> 00:24:22,401
- Give me some...
- Eww!
383
00:24:22,403 --> 00:24:23,903
Claiborne Ellis,
you smell like beer.
384
00:24:44,523 --> 00:24:47,028
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to our school.
385
00:24:48,627 --> 00:24:52,131
This emergency council meeting
was called late last night
386
00:24:52,133 --> 00:24:54,598
after an apparent
electrical fire
387
00:24:54,601 --> 00:24:58,304
destroyed nearly half
of East End Elementary School.
388
00:24:58,306 --> 00:25:01,207
They've been in session
for nearly three hours now.
389
00:25:01,209 --> 00:25:03,877
[spectators chattering]
390
00:25:35,175 --> 00:25:38,345
This council is facing
some difficult decisions.
391
00:25:38,346 --> 00:25:43,182
Tonight, we've had to consider how
these decisions will affect the students
392
00:25:43,184 --> 00:25:45,520
of not one school, but two.
393
00:25:46,422 --> 00:25:48,921
We've heard testimony
from the marshal
394
00:25:48,923 --> 00:25:51,690
that eight classrooms
and three common areas,
395
00:25:51,692 --> 00:25:52,992
including the gymnasium,
396
00:25:52,994 --> 00:25:54,626
were unaffected by the fire.
397
00:25:54,628 --> 00:25:56,328
- Unaffected?
- Hey.
398
00:25:56,330 --> 00:25:58,530
- Have you been to the school?
- She's breakin' the rules.
399
00:25:58,532 --> 00:26:00,932
No, no. Ain't nobody talkin' to
you, C.P., so shut your mouth.
400
00:26:00,934 --> 00:26:03,335
- Miss Atwater, you've had your time.
- I've seen the school.
401
00:26:03,336 --> 00:26:05,671
And if that marshal says that
school is habitable for children...
402
00:26:05,673 --> 00:26:07,373
Miss Atwater,
you have had your time.
403
00:26:07,375 --> 00:26:09,842
Then he's just lyin'
or he just plain stupid!
404
00:26:09,844 --> 00:26:12,311
- [C.P.] Why don't you shut up?
- Don't make no sense.
405
00:26:12,314 --> 00:26:14,882
- [gavel raps]
- [clamoring]
406
00:26:19,354 --> 00:26:20,388
[man] Shut up!
407
00:26:20,954 --> 00:26:22,557
We will have quiet
in the chamber!
408
00:26:24,659 --> 00:26:26,926
- [clamoring quiets]
- Now what we talkin' about is important,
409
00:26:26,929 --> 00:26:29,730
and you're gonna damn well
listen to us, Mr. Steele.
410
00:26:30,298 --> 00:26:31,432
[Carvie] Miss Atwater.
411
00:26:32,134 --> 00:26:33,134
Miss Atwater.
412
00:26:33,969 --> 00:26:37,271
Kindly take your seat before
I have a deputy remove you.
413
00:26:52,121 --> 00:26:53,154
Now then...
414
00:26:54,455 --> 00:26:56,123
it is the opinion
of this council
415
00:26:56,125 --> 00:26:58,926
that there remain
two basic questions.
416
00:26:59,727 --> 00:27:05,164
One, is East End
a safe and habitable place
417
00:27:05,166 --> 00:27:07,702
for its students to finish
their school year?
418
00:27:08,471 --> 00:27:12,373
And two, would the students
of Durham Elementary
419
00:27:12,375 --> 00:27:17,446
be unfairly burdened by the sudden
and massive influx of new students?
420
00:27:20,415 --> 00:27:23,353
Our answer
to both of these questions...
421
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,987
is yes.
422
00:27:25,989 --> 00:27:27,856
[scattered applause]
423
00:27:30,226 --> 00:27:33,326
With the limited number of
classrooms that remain at East End,
424
00:27:33,328 --> 00:27:36,962
the students will be put
on a split-shift system.
425
00:27:36,964 --> 00:27:41,436
One from 7:00 a.m. to noon,
the other from noon to 5:00.
426
00:27:41,836 --> 00:27:43,503
[cameraman]
We're good. I got it.
427
00:27:43,506 --> 00:27:44,641
[man] Miss Atwater?
428
00:27:47,442 --> 00:27:48,942
Who the hell are you?
429
00:27:48,943 --> 00:27:51,213
Miss Atwater,
we're from the NAACP.
430
00:27:55,617 --> 00:27:58,019
[male reporter]
WDNC news time, 9:00 a.m.
431
00:27:58,020 --> 00:28:02,323
Recapping our top story, the NAACP's
legal action is causing quite a stir
432
00:28:02,325 --> 00:28:04,025
inside the county's
district court,
433
00:28:04,027 --> 00:28:06,126
one source saying
he would not want to be
434
00:28:06,128 --> 00:28:08,362
in Judge Les Hallford's shoes
this morning.
435
00:28:08,364 --> 00:28:10,732
- [woman] Good morning, Your Honor.
- [sighs]
436
00:28:13,135 --> 00:28:14,371
[Hallford exhales]
437
00:28:14,938 --> 00:28:17,971
- Is that it?
- Just arrived.
438
00:28:17,973 --> 00:28:21,643
Full and immediate integration
of all Durham public schools.
439
00:28:21,644 --> 00:28:23,212
[Hallford exhales]
440
00:28:24,413 --> 00:28:26,380
Get Wilbur Hobby in here.
441
00:28:26,382 --> 00:28:27,482
Yes, sir.
442
00:28:29,785 --> 00:28:31,852
You've passed things down
before.
443
00:28:31,854 --> 00:28:33,690
Ah, you know I can't do that.
444
00:28:34,257 --> 00:28:38,361
These idiots just sent kids back
into a school that's still smokin'.
445
00:28:38,728 --> 00:28:41,929
I pass it down, it's the same
as ruling against.
446
00:28:41,931 --> 00:28:44,901
I know. I just wanted to
make sure you knew that.
447
00:28:45,969 --> 00:28:50,070
I asked you here for your
counsel, Wilbur, not a lecture.
448
00:28:50,073 --> 00:28:51,405
Sorry.
449
00:28:51,407 --> 00:28:52,476
[exhales]
450
00:28:54,244 --> 00:28:57,179
What if you held off,
delayed your ruling?
451
00:28:57,181 --> 00:29:00,982
[scoffs] Delaying the inevitable,
that's all that would be.
452
00:29:00,984 --> 00:29:05,787
No. You delay to allow the people of
Durham to reach their own decision.
453
00:29:05,788 --> 00:29:07,623
I'm not following, Wilbur.
454
00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:08,759
[exhales]
455
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,394
- I know a guy.
- [chuckles] You know a guy?
456
00:29:13,395 --> 00:29:15,162
Yes, I know a guy.
457
00:29:15,163 --> 00:29:18,599
He runs a department at
Shaw University down in Raleigh.
458
00:29:18,602 --> 00:29:21,902
He does this thing.
Uh, he holds charrettes.
459
00:29:21,903 --> 00:29:23,240
Cha-what?
460
00:29:23,905 --> 00:29:27,576
They're kind of, uh,
these official community summits
461
00:29:27,577 --> 00:29:29,744
with people from both sides
of the problem.
462
00:29:29,747 --> 00:29:33,284
They're called charrettes.
He's had some pretty good results.
463
00:29:36,452 --> 00:29:39,657
Wilbur, get this guy of yours
up here.
464
00:29:43,961 --> 00:29:45,796
[phone rings]
465
00:29:57,741 --> 00:30:00,109
Bill?
Wilbur Hobby's on the phone.
466
00:30:09,753 --> 00:30:10,988
Wilbur Hobby.
467
00:30:11,355 --> 00:30:13,488
Why does
this phone call worry me?
468
00:30:13,490 --> 00:30:15,356
[chuckles]
Well, what a coincidence.
469
00:30:15,358 --> 00:30:17,159
I was hoping it would worry you.
470
00:30:17,161 --> 00:30:18,261
[Bill laughs]
471
00:30:19,096 --> 00:30:20,596
How are you, Wilbur?
472
00:30:20,597 --> 00:30:22,597
Looks like you're havin'
some trouble up there.
473
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,637
Well, nothing a heavy dose
of Bill Riddick can't solve.
474
00:30:28,971 --> 00:30:30,007
Hello?
475
00:30:31,742 --> 00:30:34,777
Look, Bill, I, uh...
I heard York went well.
476
00:30:34,778 --> 00:30:37,680
York, Pennsylvania, isn't
Durham, North Carolina, Wilbur.
477
00:30:37,682 --> 00:30:41,353
Well, all the more reason
we need you.
478
00:30:42,453 --> 00:30:44,455
Look, you're the only one
that does this.
479
00:30:45,222 --> 00:30:47,088
Besides,
it'll get you outta the house.
480
00:30:47,090 --> 00:30:48,825
Delores even said
you're driving her crazy.
481
00:30:48,826 --> 00:30:50,492
[chuckles]
482
00:30:50,494 --> 00:30:52,329
We've been
drivin' each other crazy.
483
00:30:55,834 --> 00:30:57,165
All right, Wilbur.
484
00:30:57,167 --> 00:30:58,737
- All right.
- Great.
485
00:30:59,304 --> 00:31:02,173
- I'll see you in a few hours, Bill.
- A... A few hours?
486
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:04,409
- [dial tone]
- Hello?
487
00:31:07,211 --> 00:31:09,311
Now,
I've asked Bill Riddick here
488
00:31:09,314 --> 00:31:11,683
to conduct
a ten-day community charrette
489
00:31:12,416 --> 00:31:15,884
so that the citizens of Durham
can finally come to a resolution
490
00:31:15,886 --> 00:31:18,019
on the school integration
question.
491
00:31:18,021 --> 00:31:20,990
The city council
will abide this resolution
492
00:31:20,991 --> 00:31:23,025
and enact
the will of the people.
493
00:31:23,027 --> 00:31:25,163
That gutless fool.
494
00:31:25,663 --> 00:31:26,699
Abide?
495
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,566
Abide? It's not even defined.
496
00:31:29,567 --> 00:31:31,737
He's making us define it.
497
00:31:32,671 --> 00:31:34,572
What are we gonna say
to the press?
498
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,708
Nothing.
499
00:31:37,241 --> 00:31:39,376
At least not till
we get a legal opinion.
500
00:31:40,244 --> 00:31:44,115
And in the meantime,
what in good Christ is a charrette?
501
00:31:44,449 --> 00:31:46,951
[man singing pop song]
502
00:31:49,253 --> 00:31:50,288
[continues on radio]
503
00:31:55,728 --> 00:31:58,263
- [continues, indistinct]
- [bell dings]
504
00:32:12,944 --> 00:32:15,413
Uh, yeah, we don't sell
gasoline to niggers here.
505
00:32:19,451 --> 00:32:22,555
I'm not looking for a fill-up.
Mr. Ellis?
506
00:32:25,123 --> 00:32:26,424
My name is Bill Riddick.
507
00:32:28,794 --> 00:32:29,795
Yeah?
508
00:32:30,628 --> 00:32:33,830
Uh...
Wilbur Hobby suggested I...
509
00:32:33,833 --> 00:32:37,269
- Wilbur Hobby sent you here?
- Yeah. He said I should come see you, yeah.
510
00:32:37,470 --> 00:32:40,138
He said you represent a great
many people in this town.
511
00:32:42,909 --> 00:32:44,609
He'd be right about that.
512
00:32:44,977 --> 00:32:48,746
Well, Mr. Ellis,
I've been asked to organize a charrette.
513
00:32:48,748 --> 00:32:50,314
I read the newspaper.
514
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:52,519
- Oh. So then you know...
- Hold on.
515
00:32:53,487 --> 00:32:58,323
Are you here to ask me to come to
your, uh, integration meetings?
516
00:32:58,325 --> 00:33:02,295
Well, for now, just lunch.
517
00:33:03,028 --> 00:33:05,296
- Lunch?
- Tomorrow.
518
00:33:05,298 --> 00:33:07,200
With, uh...
with me and with Ann Atwater.
519
00:33:09,134 --> 00:33:10,301
Come again?
520
00:33:11,170 --> 00:33:13,002
Well, I was hoping you'd come to
lunch with me and Ann Atwater.
521
00:33:13,005 --> 00:33:15,007
- Ann Atwater?
- Ann Atwater.
522
00:33:18,109 --> 00:33:19,676
[stifled laugh]
523
00:33:19,679 --> 00:33:22,346
What did Wilbur Hobby think
I'd say to that?
524
00:33:22,347 --> 00:33:24,582
Well, he thought
you would say no.
525
00:33:24,584 --> 00:33:27,317
- He'd be right about that, too.
- Well, see here, Mr. Ellis...
526
00:33:27,318 --> 00:33:31,355
- You're not from around here, Mr...
- Riddick.
527
00:33:31,357 --> 00:33:32,957
So I'll help you out.
528
00:33:32,959 --> 00:33:35,192
Folks in this town,
and especially me,
529
00:33:35,194 --> 00:33:37,197
want niggers to stay
in their own schools.
530
00:33:39,132 --> 00:33:41,367
That's definitely one of the
options, Mr. Ellis.
531
00:33:43,369 --> 00:33:46,007
But right now,
I'm gonna leave you my card.
532
00:33:49,174 --> 00:33:50,711
The local number is on the back.
533
00:33:51,243 --> 00:33:54,146
- You change your mind...
- Boy, you better get on outta here.
534
00:33:55,715 --> 00:33:57,150
Go on, git. Like I told you.
535
00:34:03,055 --> 00:34:05,759
Mr. Ellis,
I hope you reconsider.
536
00:34:06,692 --> 00:34:10,664
This charrette is happening. So, uh,
if you truly represent your people...
537
00:34:11,831 --> 00:34:12,900
represent them.
538
00:34:16,135 --> 00:34:17,304
Have a good day.
539
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:48,934
[Carvie] We know this makes
you uncomfortable, C.P.
540
00:34:48,936 --> 00:34:51,268
But goddamn it, it's the best
thing that could have happened.
541
00:34:51,271 --> 00:34:54,204
"Uncomfortable" isn't exactly
the word I'd use for it, Carvie.
542
00:34:54,206 --> 00:34:56,206
C.P., what do you think
would happen
543
00:34:56,208 --> 00:34:58,577
if a lily-white liberal was
in there instead of you?
544
00:34:58,579 --> 00:34:59,947
Nothing good.
545
00:35:00,914 --> 00:35:03,449
A liberal and Ann Atwater
would pass integration
546
00:35:03,451 --> 00:35:05,751
faster than a hot knife
through butter.
547
00:35:05,753 --> 00:35:08,420
- That's what don't make no sense.
- [Steele] What don't?
548
00:35:08,422 --> 00:35:10,722
This Riddick nigger wants
school integration, right?
549
00:35:10,724 --> 00:35:13,025
So why me?
Why put that on himself?
550
00:35:13,027 --> 00:35:14,894
I shoulda been
the last person on his list.
551
00:35:17,465 --> 00:35:19,634
C.P., this judge...
552
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:21,936
Our hands may be tied.
553
00:35:22,771 --> 00:35:25,237
But it won't matter if we
have a friend on the inside.
554
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,775
And especially if that friend
is C.P. Ellis.
555
00:35:28,777 --> 00:35:30,777
Oh, Charlie, I...
556
00:35:30,778 --> 00:35:33,947
He's about to hand you
the keys to school integration,
557
00:35:34,914 --> 00:35:36,650
and you're going to
lock the door.
558
00:35:39,619 --> 00:35:41,688
[softly singing hymn]
559
00:35:48,429 --> 00:35:51,065
- Hey! How you doin'? How your dad doin'?
- [man] Good.
560
00:35:53,934 --> 00:35:55,235
How late is he?
561
00:35:56,103 --> 00:35:57,204
Twenty minutes.
562
00:35:58,005 --> 00:36:01,643
C.P. comin' to have lunch
with two niggers. [Scoffs]
563
00:36:02,010 --> 00:36:04,679
He'd just as soon shoot us
than do that.
564
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,313
Y'all northern folks
just don't get it.
565
00:36:07,315 --> 00:36:08,914
I'm from North Carolina, Ann.
566
00:36:08,916 --> 00:36:10,817
Oh, yeah? Where about?
567
00:36:10,818 --> 00:36:13,454
- Hertford County.
- That still north of here.
568
00:36:17,458 --> 00:36:18,492
He's here.
569
00:36:34,409 --> 00:36:35,543
[Ann] Here he go.
570
00:36:51,659 --> 00:36:53,929
Would you look at
that crazy white man?
571
00:36:54,596 --> 00:36:56,630
Just pacing back and forth.
572
00:36:58,266 --> 00:37:00,168
I ain't waitin' for that cracker.
I'm hungry.
573
00:37:01,036 --> 00:37:03,572
Mr. Ellis?
Please, come sit down.
574
00:37:16,251 --> 00:37:17,884
Well, uh, okay.
575
00:37:17,885 --> 00:37:20,153
Um, thank you both for coming.
576
00:37:20,155 --> 00:37:22,554
Hopefully,
this is a first step...
577
00:37:22,556 --> 00:37:25,893
Hey, I'm not gonna sit here one
minute longer than I have to, so...
578
00:37:25,894 --> 00:37:30,965
Well, go on and git, then. That way, me
and Bill can have a civilized conversation.
579
00:37:30,967 --> 00:37:33,266
- [scoffs]
- Mr. Ellis, um,
580
00:37:33,268 --> 00:37:36,806
I'm holding a steering committee
meeting here on Saturday.
581
00:37:37,206 --> 00:37:41,108
And I've invited people who represent
all types of citizens in this community.
582
00:37:41,110 --> 00:37:43,244
All types?
Only two types in this town.
583
00:37:43,246 --> 00:37:46,579
Well, whites, black,
liberals, conservatives.
584
00:37:46,581 --> 00:37:48,449
For a charrette
to be successful,
585
00:37:48,451 --> 00:37:51,253
we need to bring together a
large number of diverse people.
586
00:37:51,255 --> 00:37:53,621
[scoffs]
The only folk he gonna bring,
587
00:37:53,623 --> 00:37:55,389
they gonna be wearing
sheets and hoods.
588
00:37:55,391 --> 00:37:56,659
Ain't that right, C.P.?
589
00:37:58,393 --> 00:37:59,427
[stammers] Hold on.
590
00:38:00,461 --> 00:38:01,829
If you already have
a meeting set,
591
00:38:01,831 --> 00:38:03,311
what the hell am I doing
sitting here?
592
00:38:03,666 --> 00:38:05,967
Well, you're here,
both of you...
593
00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:10,773
because I need two co-chairs
to lead the charrette.
594
00:38:14,543 --> 00:38:16,612
[laughs]
595
00:38:19,981 --> 00:38:22,817
I'm gonna think about it,
you know,
596
00:38:22,818 --> 00:38:27,123
'cause I wouldn't want your type takin'
over this, uh... what'd you call it?
597
00:38:29,193 --> 00:38:31,195
Charade? [Laughs]
598
00:38:34,931 --> 00:38:36,833
I don't know
what you're up to either.
599
00:38:38,268 --> 00:38:42,269
I don't like it.
You could use me for my help. That's fine.
600
00:38:42,271 --> 00:38:44,940
But I am not gonna work
with that cracker.
601
00:38:44,942 --> 00:38:46,675
So you need to look
somewhere else.
602
00:38:48,510 --> 00:38:49,778
This corn bread is good.
603
00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:56,784
[woman] I would love it.
604
00:38:56,786 --> 00:38:59,552
[people chattering]
605
00:38:59,554 --> 00:39:01,289
Let me help you clear this.
606
00:39:01,291 --> 00:39:03,891
- It was delicious.
- Very nice of you. Thank you.
607
00:39:03,893 --> 00:39:05,693
You outdid yourself, Mrs. Keith.
608
00:39:05,695 --> 00:39:07,728
Oh, well, thank you.
609
00:39:07,731 --> 00:39:10,565
Ten days is a long time
with them people, Garland.
610
00:39:10,567 --> 00:39:14,469
It's also a long time for them to
be making decisions on integration
611
00:39:14,471 --> 00:39:16,371
without us having a voice.
612
00:39:16,373 --> 00:39:18,976
That's not gonna make it
any easier to sell to my people.
613
00:39:19,876 --> 00:39:22,045
Well, you're their
president, C.P.
614
00:39:23,114 --> 00:39:24,581
You just make 'em understand.
615
00:39:26,351 --> 00:39:29,985
Hell, it says so right there
in your Klan Creed:
616
00:39:29,987 --> 00:39:35,057
"Failure to know your enemy gives
them aid and comfort" and all that.
617
00:39:36,726 --> 00:39:41,264
I mean, the truth is, C.P., we...
we don't know the enemy at all.
618
00:39:42,331 --> 00:39:43,400
Do we?
619
00:40:00,184 --> 00:40:02,449
You're yankin' on the trigger
too hard.
620
00:40:02,452 --> 00:40:05,621
Trick is to think of it as pressin'
the trigger, not pullin' on it.
621
00:40:05,623 --> 00:40:06,757
Ten-hut!
622
00:40:07,025 --> 00:40:08,523
Y'all heed this man, now.
623
00:40:08,525 --> 00:40:10,161
Mr. Kelly here's an expert.
624
00:40:10,628 --> 00:40:13,128
He even knows that word for when
you breathe out 'fore you shoot.
625
00:40:13,130 --> 00:40:14,331
What's that called again?
626
00:40:14,865 --> 00:40:17,099
- Respiratory pause.
- [men laugh]
627
00:40:17,101 --> 00:40:19,369
See? What'd I tell ya?
628
00:40:19,371 --> 00:40:22,405
- All right, one more, then next up.
- [man] All right.
629
00:40:22,407 --> 00:40:25,143
You didn't care too much for
that conversation last night.
630
00:40:25,943 --> 00:40:28,778
Well, when it's me and you,
it's fine.
631
00:40:29,746 --> 00:40:31,849
I ain't much for talking
in mixed company.
632
00:40:32,581 --> 00:40:34,317
Well, we do need
people there, Floyd.
633
00:40:34,318 --> 00:40:37,355
And Carvie asked me
personally, so...
634
00:40:38,121 --> 00:40:41,025
Yeah, I know it, C.P.
And I'll back you up on it.
635
00:40:41,759 --> 00:40:45,927
- But, uh... be careful.
- Careful of what?
636
00:40:45,929 --> 00:40:47,664
- If you wrestle with a pig...
- [gun cocks]
637
00:40:48,967 --> 00:40:50,235
You gonna get muddy.
638
00:40:51,902 --> 00:40:54,804
[Bill] Meeting these benchmarks
successfully will depend entirely
639
00:40:54,806 --> 00:40:58,942
on the dedication and enthusiasm
of this steering committee.
640
00:40:58,943 --> 00:41:01,945
And, uh, we haven't got
much time to get organized,
641
00:41:01,947 --> 00:41:05,016
so priority one
will be to get the word out
642
00:41:05,516 --> 00:41:10,887
and to recruit as many citizens as
possible to come and participate.
643
00:41:12,190 --> 00:41:15,559
All right,
before we go any further,
644
00:41:15,927 --> 00:41:17,961
we need to elect
our two co-chairs.
645
00:41:20,097 --> 00:41:23,168
I nominate Ann Atwater...
646
00:41:25,836 --> 00:41:27,505
and C.P. Ellis.
647
00:41:32,978 --> 00:41:35,012
But he's a Klansman.
648
00:41:35,014 --> 00:41:37,081
And we're talking
about integration.
649
00:41:37,514 --> 00:41:41,550
Uh, Mr. Riddick, I already done
told you I won't work with that man.
650
00:41:41,552 --> 00:41:43,487
[scoffs]
That'd be just fine with me.
651
00:41:43,489 --> 00:41:45,956
Everybody know it would be
just fine with you, C.P.
652
00:41:45,958 --> 00:41:47,724
Just hold on a minute now, Ann.
653
00:41:47,726 --> 00:41:50,028
I'd like to hear from C.P.
on this. Mr. Ellis.
654
00:41:52,264 --> 00:41:55,532
Well, I'm not in the habit of interviewing
for a job that I don't really want.
655
00:41:55,534 --> 00:41:57,766
But you're asking,
so I'll tell you.
656
00:41:57,768 --> 00:42:00,936
Everybody talkin' about nigras want
this, nigras need that.
657
00:42:00,938 --> 00:42:03,574
This whole thing started 'cause
of what nigras are demanding.
658
00:42:05,376 --> 00:42:09,045
What about white folks?
What about what we want?
659
00:42:09,047 --> 00:42:11,748
- You already got everything you want.
- No, we don't.
660
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:15,054
Now the niggers in this town are trying
to take away everything we got left.
661
00:42:15,753 --> 00:42:18,289
They don't want us to play
"Dixie" at our schools.
662
00:42:18,891 --> 00:42:20,393
That's our song.
663
00:42:21,193 --> 00:42:24,327
They're angry when we fly the
Confederate flag at ball games.
664
00:42:24,329 --> 00:42:28,532
And why should one of our boys
have to play ball under that flag?
665
00:42:28,534 --> 00:42:30,634
That flag is
our proud Southern history.
666
00:42:30,635 --> 00:42:33,204
It might be your proud
Southern history, C.P.,
667
00:42:33,206 --> 00:42:35,039
but it sure as hell ain't ours.
668
00:42:35,041 --> 00:42:36,041
[C.P.] All right.
669
00:42:36,842 --> 00:42:38,909
Integrated schools have
"blacks only" assemblies,
670
00:42:38,911 --> 00:42:41,445
"blacks only"
Martin Luther King this, that.
671
00:42:41,447 --> 00:42:42,713
That ain't my history.
672
00:42:42,715 --> 00:42:44,181
You wanna talk about schools?
673
00:42:44,184 --> 00:42:46,284
Let's talk about schools,
Mr. Riddick.
674
00:42:47,286 --> 00:42:49,221
My sons don't have it easy
in school.
675
00:42:50,054 --> 00:42:52,188
Their teachers ain't even
teachin' them half the time.
676
00:42:52,190 --> 00:42:54,510
And you want to throw them
together with a bunch of nigras?
677
00:42:54,592 --> 00:42:56,695
It's only gonna get worse
for them.
678
00:42:57,762 --> 00:43:00,400
You ask why?
I'm here to protect my boys.
679
00:43:01,501 --> 00:43:03,869
So all the better
if she don't get in my way.
680
00:43:09,442 --> 00:43:11,010
I'll sit with you,
Brother Ellis.

[murmuring]
682
00:43:16,916 --> 00:43:20,452
Howard, have you lost
your everlasting mind,
683
00:43:20,454 --> 00:43:22,119
callin' that man your brother?
684
00:43:22,121 --> 00:43:23,887
[Bill] You're offering
to co-chair, Howard?
685
00:43:23,889 --> 00:43:25,523
Uh, I am.
686
00:43:25,525 --> 00:43:27,692
And that's an honest man
right there, Ann.
687
00:43:27,693 --> 00:43:30,331
The only honest man
that's stood up today.
688
00:43:31,097 --> 00:43:34,067
He hates me. [Chuckles]
And he told me why.
689
00:43:35,300 --> 00:43:39,271
But then he opened up
his heart about his sons.
690
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:41,905
Why is he agreeing with me?
691
00:43:41,907 --> 00:43:44,108
- I don't know.
- [Howard] That means he's my brother.
692
00:43:44,110 --> 00:43:45,989
[whispers] Did that nigger
just call me brother?
693
00:43:46,478 --> 00:43:48,514
[laughs]
694
00:43:48,516 --> 00:43:49,782
Y'all hear that?
695
00:43:51,016 --> 00:43:53,621
I'll tell you what you are,
Howard.
696
00:43:54,420 --> 00:43:56,456
You one of them
"big niggers," ain't you?
697
00:43:57,291 --> 00:44:00,559
You done went up north
and got your college degree,
698
00:44:00,561 --> 00:44:04,030
your fancy cars,
and your fancy suits.
699
00:44:04,664 --> 00:44:06,931
Meanwhile, we down here on
the ground gettin' dirty.
700
00:44:06,934 --> 00:44:09,300
Now wait a minute, Ann.
701
00:44:09,302 --> 00:44:12,137
The Black Solidarity Committee has
been working within this community...
702
00:44:12,139 --> 00:44:14,507
Oh, shut up, Howard!
You're late to the fight!
703
00:44:15,909 --> 00:44:19,880
And you have no idea what
real black folk go through.
704
00:44:20,380 --> 00:44:23,849
You don't deserve a seat.
He don't deserve that chair, he don't.
705
00:44:24,385 --> 00:44:26,320
Callin' that man his brother.
706
00:44:29,155 --> 00:44:31,358
So are you saying you'll accept
now, Miss Atwater?
707
00:44:36,597 --> 00:44:38,565
[shutter clicks]

- [song continues]
- [indistinct]
710
00:45:17,905 --> 00:45:21,005
I'm going to continue to fight
for us white working men
711
00:45:21,007 --> 00:45:24,208
even if I have to sit in a room with
that awful Ann Atwater to do it.

[cheering, applauding]
713
00:45:26,045 --> 00:45:28,146
C.P. Ellis don't scare me.
714
00:45:28,148 --> 00:45:31,148
We gonna beat school
segregation once and for all.
715
00:45:31,150 --> 00:45:33,585
Well, she's livin'
in her own fantasy world.
716
00:45:33,588 --> 00:45:35,889
Folks in this town
like things the way they are.

720
00:46:48,929 --> 00:46:50,463
[woman] Good morning, Mr. Ellis.
721
00:46:50,465 --> 00:46:52,666
Co-chair office is
just around the corner.
722
00:46:52,668 --> 00:46:53,802
Thank you.
723
00:47:16,257 --> 00:47:19,860
All I'm saying is
our children are way behind.
724
00:47:19,862 --> 00:47:21,561
Almost a full year.
725
00:47:21,563 --> 00:47:23,697
[woman] Well,
just havin' white teachers
726
00:47:23,699 --> 00:47:25,601
isn't gonna help them catch up.
727
00:47:26,969 --> 00:47:28,503
[Ann] White teachers?
728
00:47:28,505 --> 00:47:30,204
They already got
some white teachers.
729
00:47:30,206 --> 00:47:32,373
It ain't that.
It's about the books.
730
00:47:32,376 --> 00:47:35,041
Newer books don't account
for a whole year.
731
00:47:35,043 --> 00:47:37,313
Newer ain't got
nothing to do with it.
732
00:47:38,012 --> 00:47:40,780
Baby, what's your name?
In the red shirt. What's your name?
733
00:47:40,782 --> 00:47:42,318
- Miles.
- [Ann] Miles.
734
00:47:43,052 --> 00:47:45,219
What year did you
just finish, Miles?
735
00:47:45,221 --> 00:47:46,853
- My junior year.
- Mm-hmm.
736
00:47:46,856 --> 00:47:48,958
And what year
were your books for?
737
00:47:50,326 --> 00:47:52,192
The textbooks were
for the tenth-graders, ma'am.
738
00:47:52,193 --> 00:47:53,260
[scoffs]

00:47:53,262 --> 00:47:55,731
[murmuring, applauding]
740
00:47:56,898 --> 00:47:58,532
Well, how's that gonna work?
741
00:47:58,534 --> 00:48:00,668
How's what gonna work, C.P.?
742
00:48:00,670 --> 00:48:03,572
You gonna put a bunch of black
kids who are a year behind...
743
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,873
with white kids who aren't.
744
00:48:05,876 --> 00:48:07,742
How you gonna teach that class?
745
00:48:07,744 --> 00:48:10,110
You can't.
It just ain't possible.
746
00:48:10,112 --> 00:48:12,980
So you go ahead
and get the right books,
747
00:48:12,981 --> 00:48:16,519
but you can't teach
that class, no way. No way.
748
00:48:17,052 --> 00:48:18,722
[murmuring]
749
00:48:45,581 --> 00:48:47,248
Okay. So tomorrow,
750
00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:49,349
we'll break into
our smaller groups
751
00:48:49,351 --> 00:48:51,585
and begin hammering out the
different resolution points.
752
00:48:51,588 --> 00:48:54,621
But we meet back here
each night for wrap-up.
753
00:48:54,623 --> 00:48:57,893
Also, you've noticed these, uh,
two tables up here on the stage.
754
00:48:57,894 --> 00:49:01,262
Along with Mr. Ellis
and Miss Atwater,
755
00:49:01,264 --> 00:49:04,601
ten more of you will be chosen to fill
these seats as part of our senate.
756
00:49:04,967 --> 00:49:07,369
That senate will vote
on the resolutions
757
00:49:07,371 --> 00:49:09,070
on the final night
of the charrette.
758
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,440
Okay.
Unless there's anything else,
759
00:49:12,442 --> 00:49:14,110
I think we could all use
some sleep.
760
00:49:14,945 --> 00:49:16,110
Yes, Reverend?
761
00:49:16,112 --> 00:49:17,811
Mr. Riddick,
762
00:49:17,813 --> 00:49:19,682
it's been quite a tense day.
763
00:49:20,416 --> 00:49:26,119
It may be wise if we have some
positive note to end each session.
764
00:49:26,121 --> 00:49:28,088
Something to lift our spirits.
765
00:49:28,090 --> 00:49:30,190
I think that's a good idea,
Reverend.
766
00:49:30,193 --> 00:49:31,494
What did you have in mind?
767
00:49:31,862 --> 00:49:34,295
Well, I notice
we have a piano over here.
768
00:49:34,297 --> 00:49:37,565
What if we all sing gospel
music at the end of each night?
769
00:49:37,568 --> 00:49:39,302
- Okay.
- [man] Nigger music.
770
00:49:40,271 --> 00:49:42,570
- [crowd murmurs]
- What did you say?
771
00:49:42,572 --> 00:49:45,273
I believe he said
that's nigger music.
772
00:49:45,275 --> 00:49:48,244
Gospel music don't have nothing
to do with black or white.
773
00:49:48,246 --> 00:49:51,480
- It's about God.
- Praise God, but he... he's right.
774
00:49:51,481 --> 00:49:54,349
Gospel music is absolutely
for black folk.
775
00:49:54,351 --> 00:49:56,719
I'm a bit surprised that
the reverend would suggest
776
00:49:56,721 --> 00:49:57,853
something so one-sided.
777
00:49:57,855 --> 00:49:59,454
I'm a little disappointed.
778
00:49:59,456 --> 00:50:01,023
[Bill] Okay.
I can appreciate that, C.P.
779
00:50:01,391 --> 00:50:03,490
These people would like
gospel music.
780
00:50:03,492 --> 00:50:05,929
So, uh, how would you like
to represent your people?
781
00:50:08,331 --> 00:50:12,001
Well, I'd like to display our Klan
materials here at the charrette.
782
00:50:12,003 --> 00:50:14,704
[spectators murmuring]
783
00:50:16,007 --> 00:50:17,141
Klan materials?
784
00:50:17,807 --> 00:50:19,043
Mm-hmm.
785
00:50:21,445 --> 00:50:24,112
- It's not the same thing.
- I know that.
786
00:50:24,114 --> 00:50:26,414
We can't let him do it. That stuff's
full of hate. That's all it is.
787
00:50:26,416 --> 00:50:28,818
- He gave on the gospel.
- I don't give a damn what he gave on.
788
00:50:28,820 --> 00:50:30,887
Well, he gave, so we give.
789
00:50:30,889 --> 00:50:33,822
Bill Riddick, if that stuff shows up
here, it's gonna be a riot.
790
00:50:33,824 --> 00:50:36,391
And you can bet your ass I'm gonna
be the one leading the charge.
791
00:50:36,393 --> 00:50:38,797
Oh, you gonna get all
Roughhouse Annie on me now, huh?
792
00:50:39,297 --> 00:50:42,501
Yeah, I heard tell about you.
All talkin' and no listenin'.
793
00:50:43,166 --> 00:50:46,367
We're here trying to understand each
other for once and stop fighting.
794
00:50:46,369 --> 00:50:49,038
I'll stop fightin' when there
ain't nothing left to fight for.
795
00:50:49,039 --> 00:50:51,442
Then you gonna be goin' uphill
the rest of your life, Ann.
796
00:50:52,476 --> 00:50:55,244
In the meantime,
I'm-a keep that man here talkin'
797
00:50:55,246 --> 00:50:56,981
as long as I possibly can.
798
00:50:59,449 --> 00:51:01,418
- [sighs]
- [Bill] C.P.
799
00:51:02,721 --> 00:51:03,755
C.P.
800
00:51:06,289 --> 00:51:08,858
This, um,
display you want to bring.
801
00:51:08,860 --> 00:51:10,827
We're willing to go along
with it.
802
00:51:10,829 --> 00:51:12,561
But there'll be folks not wild
about the sight of it.
803
00:51:12,563 --> 00:51:14,764
So, uh, you're gonna need
to provide some security,
804
00:51:14,766 --> 00:51:16,699
someone to watch over it.
805
00:51:16,702 --> 00:51:18,581
- I'm not gonna be responsible for it.
- [blows]
806
00:51:21,074 --> 00:51:22,541
This is my security.
807
00:51:23,375 --> 00:51:24,978
That gun don't belong here.
808
00:51:25,677 --> 00:51:29,447
I like to have it close in case I
need it to do my talkin' for me.
809
00:51:30,782 --> 00:51:32,918
This here does the talkin'
for me.
810
00:51:33,150 --> 00:51:36,753
- I have a Bible.
- Oh, you do? Have you read it?
811
00:51:36,755 --> 00:51:38,121
Course I've read it.
812
00:51:38,590 --> 00:51:40,956
- Even go to church on Sundays.
- [Ann] Hmm.
813
00:51:40,958 --> 00:51:43,025
Well, then,
you ought to know, C.P.
814
00:51:43,027 --> 00:51:44,061
Know what?
815
00:51:44,963 --> 00:51:47,599
Same God made you, made me.
816
00:52:09,353 --> 00:52:10,788
That's everything, Mr. Ellis.
817
00:52:10,789 --> 00:52:12,592
Looks good, Ben. Real good.
818
00:52:12,891 --> 00:52:14,494
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
819
00:52:25,603 --> 00:52:27,806
Divided according to race.
820
00:52:29,007 --> 00:52:31,242
Uh, six black, six white.
821
00:52:31,610 --> 00:52:34,443
The senate members will float in
and out of different working groups,
822
00:52:34,445 --> 00:52:36,280
observing and participating.
823
00:52:36,849 --> 00:52:38,782
On the final night
of the charrette,
824
00:52:38,784 --> 00:52:40,951
you will vote
to either adopt or reject
825
00:52:40,952 --> 00:52:42,619
the resolutions
presented to you.
826
00:52:42,621 --> 00:52:44,356
So, we're the final word?
827
00:52:44,623 --> 00:52:46,188
Final word, Howard.
828
00:52:46,190 --> 00:52:48,494
Two-thirds majority
to pass each resolution.
829
00:52:50,262 --> 00:52:51,697
Eight votes to pass?
830
00:52:52,831 --> 00:52:55,599
Then we should be able to handpick
the other four white members.
831
00:52:55,601 --> 00:52:57,768
Well, then, we might as well
go on home then.
832
00:52:57,769 --> 00:52:59,402
C.P., that's not practical.
833
00:52:59,405 --> 00:53:00,840
We need to be
as fair as possible.
834
00:53:01,141 --> 00:53:03,740
I'm gonna have to side
with my friend here.
835
00:53:03,742 --> 00:53:06,177
I mean, we can surely all agree
836
00:53:06,179 --> 00:53:08,146
that every Negro in the building
837
00:53:08,148 --> 00:53:10,014
is gonna vote yes
on school integration.
838
00:53:10,016 --> 00:53:12,148
That's six automatic votes,
no matter what.
839
00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:14,150
Same's not true
for every last white person.
840
00:53:14,152 --> 00:53:16,353
There's a bunch of liberals
sittin' out there right now.
841
00:53:18,291 --> 00:53:22,193
Look, there are four prominent
organizations represented
842
00:53:22,195 --> 00:53:23,994
in this room, right here.
843
00:53:23,996 --> 00:53:26,463
The Klan,
The White Citizens' Council,
844
00:53:26,465 --> 00:53:28,867
Black Solidarity Committee,
and Operation Breakthrough.
845
00:53:29,635 --> 00:53:30,938
You each get your votes.
846
00:53:31,369 --> 00:53:32,538
You want fair?
847
00:53:32,905 --> 00:53:34,807
We'll pick
eight regular members.
848
00:53:35,208 --> 00:53:38,610
Regular. No black power people, no Klan.
They're excluded.
849
00:53:39,746 --> 00:53:40,780
Agreed?
850
00:53:45,085 --> 00:53:46,918
- None of her people?
- [Bill] No.
851
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,422
And none of y'all.
852
00:54:04,704 --> 00:54:05,737
Hey!
853
00:54:06,371 --> 00:54:08,608
What do you think
you doing, huh?
854
00:54:10,878 --> 00:54:12,744
Leave that alone.
855
00:54:12,746 --> 00:54:15,280
Boys need to be reading this
instead of ripping it up.
856
00:54:16,083 --> 00:54:20,753
The Klan is givin' you
a window to look through.
857
00:54:23,190 --> 00:54:25,224
You need to read this stuff
and understand it.
858
00:54:25,226 --> 00:54:26,693
That way, you understand them.
859
00:54:27,027 --> 00:54:30,561
Okay? You got the upper hand.
Got it?
860
00:54:30,563 --> 00:54:32,934
Get on outta here, Charles.
Give me that.
861
00:54:33,733 --> 00:54:35,936
Should tell your daddy.
You know better.
862
00:54:37,806 --> 00:54:39,039
[exhales]
863
00:54:44,144 --> 00:54:45,878
Kids don't make no sense...
864
00:55:17,110 --> 00:55:21,079
"professional experts from in
the community and from outside
865
00:55:21,081 --> 00:55:23,983
will stand by
listening, learning."
866
00:55:23,985 --> 00:55:26,153
[continues reading, indistinct]
867
00:55:50,945 --> 00:55:52,612
- Ann? Ann?
- What?
868
00:55:52,614 --> 00:55:54,648
- Where are you going?
- I'm going home.
869
00:55:55,449 --> 00:55:57,182
Look, I know you're upset, Ann.
870
00:55:57,184 --> 00:55:58,717
You don't know nothing!
871
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,320
I told you
it was a damn fool idea
872
00:56:00,322 --> 00:56:02,289
to let that man
bring that stuff in here.
873
00:56:02,291 --> 00:56:04,059
Ain't no good
gonna come from it!
874
00:56:04,458 --> 00:56:06,728
And I'll tell you
something else, Bill Riddick.
875
00:56:07,329 --> 00:56:08,760
You an even bigger fool
876
00:56:08,762 --> 00:56:10,396
if you think you gonna make
any change
877
00:56:10,398 --> 00:56:11,864
with this here meeting.
878
00:56:11,867 --> 00:56:13,202
- Is that right?
- That's right.
879
00:56:13,768 --> 00:56:16,235
'Cause as long as
the C.P. Ellises of the world
880
00:56:16,237 --> 00:56:17,570
keep gettin' their way,
881
00:56:17,572 --> 00:56:19,072
ain't nothing gonna change.
882
00:56:19,074 --> 00:56:21,376
Yeah, you talk about
Roughhouse Annie?
883
00:56:22,342 --> 00:56:25,177
Keep Uncle Tommin' that cracker
884
00:56:25,179 --> 00:56:27,349
and you gonna see
Roughhouse Annie.
885
00:56:28,416 --> 00:56:31,418
Go on back up north where you belong,
'cause you don't know nothing.
886
00:57:04,753 --> 00:57:05,954
Marion Wilson.
887
00:57:13,661 --> 00:57:15,797
Okay. The other bowl now.
888
00:57:18,833 --> 00:57:19,867
[Garland] Sam Watford.
889
00:57:21,570 --> 00:57:23,489
- Is that Scooter Watford's boy?
- [Horace] Yeah.
890
00:57:24,974 --> 00:57:26,574
You won't have a problem there.
891
00:57:27,309 --> 00:57:28,911
- [C.P.] You sure?
- Pretty sure.
892
00:57:29,278 --> 00:57:32,045
I remember he kept losin' jobs
during them boycotts.
893
00:57:32,047 --> 00:57:33,416
Still pretty sore about it.
894
00:57:34,451 --> 00:57:36,751
I don't like that mustache,
tell you what.
895
00:57:37,119 --> 00:57:39,054
All right. Earl Weeks.
896
00:57:39,389 --> 00:57:41,121
[laughs]
897
00:57:41,123 --> 00:57:42,490
He's... He's with us.
898
00:57:42,757 --> 00:57:44,027
[Garland] How do you know?
899
00:57:44,827 --> 00:57:46,963
He been a deacon at my church
since I was a kid.
900
00:57:47,463 --> 00:57:48,731
He don't like nobody.
901
00:57:50,199 --> 00:57:53,467
- That's a good man.
- Two for two.
902
00:57:53,469 --> 00:57:57,103
Okay, we gonna have an issue
with this gal Maddy Mays.
903
00:57:57,106 --> 00:57:58,771
The blonde over by the window.
904
00:57:58,773 --> 00:58:00,139
[Garland] Yeah, she's a nurse.
905
00:58:00,141 --> 00:58:01,643
[C.P.]
Yeah, over at Durham Clinic.
906
00:58:02,110 --> 00:58:04,679
Real "people person." I think
that's one to worry about.
907
00:58:06,416 --> 00:58:07,914
Last is Lee Trombley.
908
00:58:07,916 --> 00:58:10,318
[groans] Trombley Hardware.
909
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:11,420
Off of Route Nine.
910
00:58:12,355 --> 00:58:14,222
- What do we know?
- [sighs]
911
00:58:14,224 --> 00:58:15,824
I don't know 'bout him, C.P.
912
00:58:16,793 --> 00:58:17,893
Might be a problem there.
913
00:58:18,827 --> 00:58:20,896
He took over
after his daddy passed.
914
00:58:21,797 --> 00:58:24,233
Family man, two kids, I think.
915
00:58:24,567 --> 00:58:25,835
[C.P.] And?
916
00:58:26,702 --> 00:58:28,936
[Horace] Everybody that
works for him is a nigger.
917
00:58:28,938 --> 00:58:29,972
Every one.
918
00:58:30,474 --> 00:58:32,510
And they all thick as thieves.
919
00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:36,777
[taps notebook]
920
00:58:36,780 --> 00:58:40,050
All right, I guess it's time we
get acquainted with Lee Trombley.
921
00:59:01,804 --> 00:59:02,905
Can I help you, sir?
922
00:59:03,972 --> 00:59:06,242
Uh... Lee around?
923
00:59:06,576 --> 00:59:09,244
No, sir. He's not here right now.
But I'm the manager.
924
00:59:09,246 --> 00:59:10,547
Something I can help you with?
925
00:59:13,184 --> 00:59:14,552
Uh, no. Um...
926
00:59:15,385 --> 00:59:16,987
I'll come back another time.
927
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:24,092
[door opens]
928
00:59:24,094 --> 00:59:26,730
- [thunder rumbles]
- [rain pattering]
929
00:59:28,467 --> 00:59:29,534
Okay.
930
00:59:30,034 --> 00:59:32,735
Any thoughts, uh, insights?
931
00:59:33,702 --> 00:59:35,405
You don't have to
raise your hand, Maddy.
932
00:59:35,704 --> 00:59:38,108
I think it's nice to see
people talking for once.
933
00:59:38,541 --> 00:59:40,411
That ain't talkin'.
It's yellin'.
934
00:59:40,777 --> 00:59:42,677
Well, okay. It's arguing.
935
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:45,981
But people are listening to one another.
They really are.
936
00:59:45,983 --> 00:59:49,750
[Sam] They're arguing.
I've been listening to it for days,
937
00:59:49,751 --> 00:59:52,788
and still no one's answered how
integration's gonna help my kids.
938
00:59:52,789 --> 00:59:55,958
- It sure can't hurt 'em.
- It sure as hell can.
939
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,960
- I'd like to know how.
- Well, for one,
940
00:59:58,963 --> 01:00:01,931
I don't want my daughter sitting
next to a Negro boy in class.
941
01:00:02,365 --> 01:00:04,099
I don't want her
eatin' next to one,
942
01:00:04,101 --> 01:00:06,268
and don't want her being
at a school dance with one.
943
01:00:06,271 --> 01:00:08,606
So, you care
about your daughter?
944
01:00:09,739 --> 01:00:11,639
And you don't want
to see her get hurt.
945
01:00:11,641 --> 01:00:13,309
What's your point?
946
01:00:13,311 --> 01:00:17,282
My point is that is
what we do as parents.
947
01:00:18,282 --> 01:00:22,184
When they're little, we try to
keep them from touching the stove
948
01:00:22,186 --> 01:00:23,387
so they don't burn.
949
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,557
We teach them to take small
bites so they don't choke.
950
01:00:28,358 --> 01:00:30,992
We worry about
their first day at school,
951
01:00:30,994 --> 01:00:32,494
the first time they drive a car,
952
01:00:32,496 --> 01:00:34,262
their very first job.
953
01:00:34,264 --> 01:00:39,067
See, we want them to avoid
the pain that we experienced.
954
01:00:39,068 --> 01:00:41,038
[chuckles] All right. All right.
955
01:00:41,338 --> 01:00:43,938
We all gonna sit around,
hold hands, sing "Kumbaya"?
956
01:00:43,940 --> 01:00:46,842
- We see what you're doing, Howard.
- And what is that, C.P.?
957
01:00:46,844 --> 01:00:49,179
That there's no difference
between blacks and whites, right?
958
01:00:49,181 --> 01:00:51,813
'Cause we all worry
about our kids.
959
01:00:51,815 --> 01:00:53,650
We're all the same, right?
960
01:00:53,652 --> 01:00:58,554
Actually, no, C.P. We're not.
961
01:00:58,556 --> 01:01:00,425
See, I left some things out.
962
01:01:01,159 --> 01:01:03,693
I left out that black folks have
963
01:01:03,695 --> 01:01:06,697
a whole different menu of pain
to worry about.
964
01:01:07,831 --> 01:01:10,668
Our kids get spit on
for no reason.
965
01:01:11,503 --> 01:01:16,373
Our kids have to move on the
sidewalk to let white folks pass,
966
01:01:17,007 --> 01:01:18,342
or they get beat.
967
01:01:19,411 --> 01:01:21,778
Our kids aren't allowed
to sit where they want,
968
01:01:22,213 --> 01:01:25,684
play where they want,
go to school where they want.
969
01:01:26,818 --> 01:01:31,186
See, this is the pain
they experience every day
970
01:01:31,188 --> 01:01:34,759
that we, we can't...
can't spare them from.
971
01:01:36,461 --> 01:01:39,164
And that is a...
972
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,900
It's a helpless feeling.
973
01:01:44,503 --> 01:01:47,539
A more helpless feeling
than you could ever know.
974
01:01:57,014 --> 01:01:59,349
- I fell right into that one.
- Yeah.
975
01:01:59,351 --> 01:02:01,952
- Shit. You see Trombley's face?
- Yeah.
976
01:02:02,688 --> 01:02:05,887
- Did you get anywhere with Trombley last night?
- He wasn't there.
977
01:02:05,889 --> 01:02:08,226
They were right, though.
He got a black manager.
978
01:02:08,893 --> 01:02:10,762
Well, where we gonna
get him, then?
979
01:02:11,195 --> 01:02:13,329
Right now.
We gonna crowd him at lunch.
980
01:02:13,331 --> 01:02:14,764
Mmm.
981
01:02:14,766 --> 01:02:16,735
[Bill] Okay.
Everybody listen up.
982
01:02:17,902 --> 01:02:19,902
We're going to be trying
something different today.
983
01:02:20,172 --> 01:02:23,141
There are name cards at
each seat in this lunchroom.
984
01:02:23,541 --> 01:02:26,210
This will be your seat
for the rest of the charrette.
985
01:02:26,211 --> 01:02:28,280
You may not move your name card.
986
01:02:29,282 --> 01:02:31,782
And you guessed it,
the person sitting next to you
987
01:02:31,784 --> 01:02:33,483
will not be
the same color as you.
988
01:02:33,485 --> 01:02:35,219
- What?
- And...
989
01:02:35,221 --> 01:02:39,056
And no discussion of issues
during this hour.
990
01:02:39,057 --> 01:02:40,293
Talk about something else.
991
01:03:18,164 --> 01:03:20,766
[no audible dialogue]
992
01:03:28,641 --> 01:03:31,077
[Ann singing softly]
993
01:03:37,115 --> 01:03:38,485
[Ann clears throat]
994
01:04:06,713 --> 01:04:08,246
I just can't do it. Mm-mm.
995
01:04:08,248 --> 01:04:10,818
Mm-mm! Mm-mm-mm.
996
01:04:12,018 --> 01:04:14,086
These fish sticks is dry.
997
01:04:20,626 --> 01:04:22,094
Well... Hmm.
998
01:04:22,829 --> 01:04:24,764
If we can't change
anything else,
999
01:04:25,164 --> 01:04:27,634
we can sure demand
better school lunches, huh?
1000
01:04:28,201 --> 01:04:30,103
We're not supposed to
talk about issues.
1001
01:04:32,072 --> 01:04:33,472
I guess you're right.
1002
01:04:40,213 --> 01:04:41,248
Howard...
1003
01:04:42,047 --> 01:04:44,050
Howard was wrong in there,
weren't he?
1004
01:04:44,751 --> 01:04:46,586
- Wrong?
- Mm-hmm.
1005
01:04:48,255 --> 01:04:52,923
Well, I mean, he weren't wrong
about what black kids go through.
1006
01:04:52,925 --> 01:04:53,960
But...
1007
01:04:55,429 --> 01:05:00,300
He was wrong about you not knowing
what helpless is, weren't he?
1008
01:05:03,771 --> 01:05:04,972
What does that mean?
1009
01:05:09,141 --> 01:05:11,478
You got a boy out at Murdock,
don't you, C.P.?
1010
01:05:11,913 --> 01:05:13,913
- I don't wanna talk about that.
- I'm just trying...
1011
01:05:13,914 --> 01:05:16,583
Ann, don't talk about my son.
1012
01:05:18,217 --> 01:05:20,454
- Don't ever talk about my son.
- Okay.
1013
01:05:28,161 --> 01:05:31,264
- [guitar plays]
- [man humming]
1014
01:05:38,773 --> 01:05:40,974
[man singing country folk]
1015
01:05:47,583 --> 01:05:49,916
We're willing to go
to summer school,
1016
01:05:49,918 --> 01:05:52,150
even nights, just to catch
up with the white students.
1017
01:05:52,152 --> 01:05:55,289
Good Lord never intended for
blacks to have equal rights.
1018
01:06:11,338 --> 01:06:13,809
[song continues]
1019
01:07:05,594 --> 01:07:07,596
[song ends]
1020
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,768
- Daddy!
- What's wrong? What's wrong, sugar?
1021
01:07:13,769 --> 01:07:14,804
It's Larry.
1022
01:07:25,847 --> 01:07:28,648
- [boy screaming]
- What's goin' on?
1023
01:07:28,650 --> 01:07:31,217
- Who is this?
- [nurse] Alvin. He moved in Friday.
1024
01:07:31,219 --> 01:07:34,021
Hey, hey.
Shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh.
1025
01:07:34,023 --> 01:07:36,188
[screaming continues]
1026
01:07:36,190 --> 01:07:38,427
- Hey, pumpkin.
- [grunting]
1027
01:07:39,594 --> 01:07:41,427
- [C.P.] Go! It's okay.
- [nurse] It's okay.
1028
01:07:41,429 --> 01:07:43,797
[C.P.] No monster.
No monster, son. No monster.
1029
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,431
I got your book.
I'm gonna read...
1030
01:07:45,434 --> 01:07:47,099
Shh, shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh.
1031
01:07:47,101 --> 01:07:48,235
[girl] It's Vickie.
1032
01:07:48,538 --> 01:07:50,235
- Read to him.
- Okay.
1033
01:07:50,237 --> 01:07:52,672
- Come here, pumpkin.
- I'll be right back.
1034
01:07:52,675 --> 01:07:55,378
- Vickie's gonna read to you.
- It's your sister, Vickie.
1035
01:07:55,945 --> 01:07:57,144
Get him out.
1036
01:08:00,849 --> 01:08:03,717
- Hey, who's in charge here?
- Can I help you, Mr. Ellis?
1037
01:08:03,719 --> 01:08:05,885
No. Is there someone else
I can talk to?
1038
01:08:05,887 --> 01:08:07,121
One moment.
1039
01:08:07,123 --> 01:08:08,157
Hey.
1040
01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:11,994
[bell dinging]
1041
01:08:11,996 --> 01:08:13,628
Hey.
1042
01:08:13,630 --> 01:08:14,929
- [nurse] I'll be right there.
- I need help.
1043
01:08:14,931 --> 01:08:16,564
- No, sir. No, sir.
- I need help.
1044
01:08:16,565 --> 01:08:18,231
- My son needs help.
- Step outside that door.
1045
01:08:18,234 --> 01:08:20,100
- I need to get my son out of that room.
- Yes, sir.
1046
01:08:20,103 --> 01:08:22,234
Step outside for a moment.
1047
01:08:22,237 --> 01:08:24,572
- Now calm it down.
- I need to get my son out of that room.
1048
01:08:24,573 --> 01:08:26,740
- Your son is gonna be just fine.
- He's scared.
1049
01:08:26,743 --> 01:08:28,243
He's not fine.
He needs to be moved.
1050
01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,411
Right away.
Or that other one needs to be moved.
1051
01:08:30,412 --> 01:08:32,712
- My son's scared.
- Look. Look.
1052
01:08:32,715 --> 01:08:35,349
It's important that our patients
stay in familiar surroundings.
1053
01:08:35,350 --> 01:08:38,252
'Cause if they're moved
too often, they get agitated...
1054
01:08:38,253 --> 01:08:40,021
A private room then. [Stammers]
1055
01:08:40,024 --> 01:08:41,789
Give Larry a private room,
please.
1056
01:08:41,792 --> 01:08:43,356
We have regulations
here at Murdock.
1057
01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:45,626
I don't care
about your regulations.
1058
01:08:45,627 --> 01:08:48,863
- Now you move him, or I will. How's that?
- No, you will not.
1059
01:08:48,865 --> 01:08:52,868
Mr. Ellis!
Call security right now.
1060
01:08:52,869 --> 01:08:54,971
You calm yourself down.
1061
01:08:57,675 --> 01:08:59,206
[exhales]
1062
01:08:59,207 --> 01:09:00,210
God...
1063
01:09:01,011 --> 01:09:02,845
How much...
How much is it again?
1064
01:09:03,212 --> 01:09:07,314
A private room is $75 more
per week.
1065
01:09:07,317 --> 01:09:09,019
Now do you wanna pay for that?
1066
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:11,786
I got 16.
1067
01:09:11,787 --> 01:09:13,856
Mr. Ellis. Listen to me.
1068
01:09:14,524 --> 01:09:17,627
Larry will get used to it,
all right?
1069
01:09:22,431 --> 01:09:25,833
You shoulda told me. No one told
me that boy would be in this room.
1070
01:09:25,836 --> 01:09:27,101
- It was...
- No one told me.
1071
01:09:27,104 --> 01:09:28,636
It was a last minute...
1072
01:09:28,639 --> 01:09:30,038
You shoulda told me.
[slaps counter]
1073
01:09:35,979 --> 01:09:38,381
[man speaking, indistinct]
1074
01:10:09,579 --> 01:10:11,512
[C.P.] You know,
I'm tryin' to tell you now.
1075
01:10:11,515 --> 01:10:14,050
His roommate was wailin'
and screamin' and...
1076
01:10:14,051 --> 01:10:15,685
But they wouldn't
let me move him.
1077
01:10:18,856 --> 01:10:20,289
I wanna take him home.
1078
01:10:22,025 --> 01:10:23,595
He's better off with us.
1079
01:10:26,096 --> 01:10:27,731
He don't belong there.
1080
01:10:28,099 --> 01:10:29,567
He ain't like them others.
1081
01:10:31,368 --> 01:10:33,537
Yes, Claiborne, he is.
1082
01:10:37,109 --> 01:10:39,844
I'm seeing him tomorrow.
I'm sure he's fine.
1083
01:10:41,279 --> 01:10:42,444
You okay?
1084
01:10:42,447 --> 01:10:43,948
Yeah, I'm just tired.
1085
01:10:46,150 --> 01:10:48,086
I'll see you at home.
I love you.
1086
01:10:56,226 --> 01:10:58,630
[people chattering]
1087
01:11:15,814 --> 01:11:18,283
[people singing gospel, muffled]
1088
01:11:38,670 --> 01:11:42,539
- [singing continues]
- [clapping hands to song]
1089
01:12:03,395 --> 01:12:06,497
[singing gospel]
1090
01:12:47,672 --> 01:12:50,911
[singing fades]
1091
01:13:14,065 --> 01:13:16,769
[woman on P.A., indistinct]
1092
01:13:25,412 --> 01:13:26,645
Can I help you?
1093
01:13:27,247 --> 01:13:29,248
You can't, but Bernadette can.
1094
01:13:30,582 --> 01:13:32,252
- One moment.
- Thank you.
1095
01:13:38,091 --> 01:13:40,591
- Miss Atwater!
- [chuckles]
1096
01:13:40,592 --> 01:13:45,430
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
How have you been?
1097
01:13:45,432 --> 01:13:48,399
Oh, baby, I've been good.
How about yourself?
1098
01:13:48,402 --> 01:13:50,568
I'm fine. I'm just fine.
1099
01:13:50,569 --> 01:13:52,340
Well, what can I help you with?
1100
01:13:54,442 --> 01:13:56,443
Where's that Larry Ellis boy?
1101
01:13:57,643 --> 01:14:00,814
[Alvin murmuring]
1102
01:14:07,487 --> 01:14:08,520
Bernadette.
1103
01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:12,057
- Yes, Miss Atwater?
- I'm gonna need a favor.
1104
01:14:13,493 --> 01:14:15,960
- But that's not fair.
- I know it's not fair, honey.
1105
01:14:15,962 --> 01:14:18,063
But I went back and looked.
Not even half of them are done yet.
1106
01:14:18,064 --> 01:14:19,697
But she never does
any of her charts.
1107
01:14:19,698 --> 01:14:21,765
She always expects us
to do them for her.
1108
01:14:21,768 --> 01:14:24,471
You and I have to go over all her
work, or it's gonna be on us.
1109
01:14:29,743 --> 01:14:32,046
[Alvin humming]
1110
01:14:33,780 --> 01:14:34,814
Hello?
1111
01:14:36,649 --> 01:14:37,685
Hello?
1112
01:14:38,085 --> 01:14:40,085
Where's Larry? Where's my son?
1113
01:14:40,087 --> 01:14:41,487
He's not in his room.
What happened?
1114
01:14:41,521 --> 01:14:43,391
Nothing happened, Miss Ellis.
1115
01:14:43,823 --> 01:14:45,158
He was moved.
1116
01:14:47,494 --> 01:14:49,895
[radio: Woman singing ballad]
1117
01:14:52,564 --> 01:14:53,733
It's so nice.
1118
01:14:57,371 --> 01:14:58,405
Hey, baby.
1119
01:14:59,073 --> 01:15:00,373
It's your mama.
1120
01:15:02,208 --> 01:15:03,743
Hey, baby, it's your mama.
1121
01:15:04,011 --> 01:15:05,546
- Hi.
- Hi.
1122
01:15:06,881 --> 01:15:08,416
Let's put on some music.
1123
01:15:09,417 --> 01:15:12,354
[volume increases]
1124
01:15:18,993 --> 01:15:21,627
[song fades]
1125
01:15:21,628 --> 01:15:22,662
What?
1126
01:15:24,564 --> 01:15:27,034
No, no, it's good. It's...
1127
01:15:29,003 --> 01:15:30,337
It's just, uh...
1128
01:15:33,873 --> 01:15:35,443
All right, I'll see you at home.
1129
01:15:48,256 --> 01:15:50,925
- I want to talk to you.
- Finally.
1130
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:52,960
Look. What you, uh...
1131
01:15:54,595 --> 01:15:56,965
[sighs] I didn't... I...
1132
01:16:00,167 --> 01:16:02,068
I didn't ask for your help.
1133
01:16:02,069 --> 01:16:04,270
I can take care of
my own family, okay?
1134
01:16:04,271 --> 01:16:05,872
- Okay.
- Okay.
1135
01:16:05,873 --> 01:16:07,774
Okay. It's just what I do, C.P.
1136
01:16:07,775 --> 01:16:10,877
Well, whatever is you do,
don't do it for me.
1137
01:16:10,878 --> 01:16:12,247
I didn't do it for you.
1138
01:16:18,787 --> 01:16:20,020
[sighs]
1139
01:16:24,525 --> 01:16:26,926
- Strike one!
- Yeah, Chester, bring the heat!
1140
01:16:26,927 --> 01:16:29,064
All right, shut your hole.
That ain't helping.
1141
01:16:31,698 --> 01:16:35,737
Don't pay him no mind, boy.
He ain't goin' nowhere with two outs.
1142
01:16:36,805 --> 01:16:38,405
They'll hold 'em. Be all right.
1143
01:16:48,884 --> 01:16:50,185
[bottle opens]
1144
01:16:52,121 --> 01:16:53,155
I'll be right back.
1145
01:16:58,659 --> 01:17:01,494
- [bat hits ball]
- [cheering]
1146
01:17:01,497 --> 01:17:03,166
- Your boy playing today?
- Oh.
1147
01:17:03,966 --> 01:17:05,033
Mr. Ellis.
1148
01:17:05,768 --> 01:17:07,969
Uh, no. My nephew.
1149
01:17:08,369 --> 01:17:10,203
You can call me C.P.
You want a beer?
1150
01:17:10,204 --> 01:17:11,436
Oh. Thanks.
1151
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:12,707
[umpire] Strike!
1152
01:17:15,342 --> 01:17:17,579
So, how do you think
it's going? The charrette.
1153
01:17:19,014 --> 01:17:20,349
Um...
1154
01:17:21,048 --> 01:17:22,050
It's interesting.
1155
01:17:23,319 --> 01:17:25,188
It's nice to hear
both sides, you know.
1156
01:17:25,488 --> 01:17:26,988
Yeah. Yeah.
1157
01:17:28,789 --> 01:17:30,659
We got some decisions to make.
1158
01:17:31,493 --> 01:17:33,092
[umpire]
Strike three! You're out!
1159
01:17:33,095 --> 01:17:34,997
[scattered cheering]
1160
01:17:35,697 --> 01:17:37,966
Say, that nigger fella?
The one that comes, uh...
1161
01:17:40,502 --> 01:17:42,070
He runs your hardware store?
1162
01:17:42,438 --> 01:17:44,640
Yeah. 'Bout two years now.
1163
01:17:45,006 --> 01:17:46,108
His name's Emmett.
1164
01:17:47,042 --> 01:17:49,845
And you trust him to...
to run things?
1165
01:17:53,449 --> 01:17:55,548
Sorry, I-I'm just curious.
1166
01:17:55,551 --> 01:17:59,421
I don't think I could trust one
of them to run my filling station.
1167
01:18:00,222 --> 01:18:02,724
Other than my wife,
he's the only person I trust.
1168
01:18:03,391 --> 01:18:04,524
How's that?
1169
01:18:04,527 --> 01:18:06,561
Well, he and I, we...
1170
01:18:08,831 --> 01:18:10,432
We were in Vietnam together.
1171
01:18:12,234 --> 01:18:14,537
- Oh. You were in Vietnam?
- Yeah.
1172
01:18:14,904 --> 01:18:17,372
Two tours. Got out in '68.
1173
01:18:17,872 --> 01:18:18,940
You?
1174
01:18:19,542 --> 01:18:21,143
No. No, I...
1175
01:18:23,546 --> 01:18:24,648
No.
1176
01:18:26,682 --> 01:18:27,750
Yeah.
1177
01:18:28,719 --> 01:18:30,884
Well, look, Mr. Ellis,
I know who you are.
1178
01:18:30,886 --> 01:18:32,386
And I know
what you want from me.
1179
01:18:32,389 --> 01:18:34,322
- But I just don't...
- No, no, Lee.
1180
01:18:34,323 --> 01:18:36,323
Any man who served bravely
in this country's military
1181
01:18:36,326 --> 01:18:38,395
doesn't need to hear
anything more from me.
1182
01:18:39,095 --> 01:18:40,631
You vote how you want to.
1183
01:18:41,398 --> 01:18:42,466
I'll respect it.
1184
01:18:46,034 --> 01:18:47,069
Mr. Ellis?
1185
01:18:49,037 --> 01:18:50,707
Emmett served this country, too.
1186
01:18:52,341 --> 01:18:54,645
And he was a lot braver than me.
1187
01:18:58,114 --> 01:18:59,149
[bat hits ball]
1188
01:18:59,750 --> 01:19:01,752
[scattered cheering]
1189
01:19:09,926 --> 01:19:12,493
All right, folks.
For our last day,
1190
01:19:12,496 --> 01:19:14,162
I thought we'd go
on a little field trip.
1191
01:19:14,163 --> 01:19:16,731
- Where to?
- You gotta vote Monday night.
1192
01:19:16,734 --> 01:19:19,100
I think it's important
we get a firsthand look
1193
01:19:19,101 --> 01:19:21,141
at what we've been talkin'
about the past few weeks.
1194
01:19:44,761 --> 01:19:47,296
[Bill] I know it's been a long
day, but this is the last one.
1195
01:19:48,599 --> 01:19:50,667
Please be careful.
Watch your step.
1196
01:19:51,068 --> 01:19:54,572
[Ann] Ain't no better over here.
It's a mess.
1197
01:19:54,970 --> 01:19:57,472
They gotta keep the doors open
because of the smell.
1198
01:19:57,475 --> 01:19:59,475
- I imagine so.
- It helps.
1199
01:19:59,476 --> 01:20:01,511
[children chattering]
1200
01:20:03,980 --> 01:20:05,814
Lot of kids for summer school.
1201
01:20:05,817 --> 01:20:08,185
Uh...
That ain't summer school, C.P.
1202
01:20:08,953 --> 01:20:11,186
They still tryin' to finish up
from last year.
1203
01:20:11,189 --> 01:20:14,023
Yes, because of the split
shifts after the fire,
1204
01:20:14,024 --> 01:20:15,692
the students
were really only getting
1205
01:20:15,694 --> 01:20:18,127
about three hours
of schooling per day.
1206
01:20:18,128 --> 01:20:20,162
So, they're still catching up.
1207
01:20:21,965 --> 01:20:24,367
Hey, how you doin'?
Did you get them shoes I sent you?
1208
01:20:24,368 --> 01:20:25,835
Mama! [Chuckles]
1209
01:20:25,837 --> 01:20:28,070
- Hey.
- Oh, this your girl?
1210
01:20:29,207 --> 01:20:30,440
- Hey.
- Hi.
1211
01:20:31,309 --> 01:20:34,311
Marilynn,
this here is, uh, Mr. Ellis.
1212
01:20:35,979 --> 01:20:37,148
Oh.
1213
01:20:38,483 --> 01:20:40,251
Well, I better get to class.
1214
01:20:40,952 --> 01:20:42,086
Okay.
1215
01:20:47,693 --> 01:20:50,326
[exhales]
1216
01:20:50,328 --> 01:20:52,765
She looked at me like I was
some kind of monster.
1217
01:20:54,064 --> 01:20:55,332
What'd you expect?
1218
01:20:57,802 --> 01:20:59,735
I don't know.
I'm trying to do right by us.
1219
01:20:59,738 --> 01:21:01,238
Make it all better.
1220
01:21:01,239 --> 01:21:03,274
And how's this gonna
make it all better?
1221
01:21:03,876 --> 01:21:05,708
Hell, I'm... [scoffs]
1222
01:21:05,711 --> 01:21:07,877
They wanted to integrate restaurants.
So we did.
1223
01:21:07,878 --> 01:21:10,445
Then came buses and bathrooms
and playgrounds.
1224
01:21:10,448 --> 01:21:12,213
Look, I'm over there right now
1225
01:21:12,216 --> 01:21:14,115
supporting more funding
to make their schools better.
1226
01:21:14,118 --> 01:21:16,217
If they have nicer schools, they'll...
[kicks cabinet]
1227
01:21:16,220 --> 01:21:18,052
Stop pushin' to integrate ours.
1228
01:21:18,055 --> 01:21:19,957
The one thing we have left.
1229
01:21:20,257 --> 01:21:22,260
Then maybe
we'll all stop fighting.
1230
01:21:22,594 --> 01:21:23,927
Then what you gonna do?
1231
01:21:25,930 --> 01:21:26,963
What?
1232
01:21:28,198 --> 01:21:30,234
When everybody stops fighting,
who you gonna fight?
1233
01:22:36,402 --> 01:22:37,770
[doorbell rings]
1234
01:22:42,675 --> 01:22:44,176
[Ann] Okay. Coming.
1235
01:22:50,349 --> 01:22:51,748
Can I help you?
1236
01:22:51,751 --> 01:22:53,619
Hi, Ann. Um...
1237
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,354
I'm Mary Ellis.
Claiborne's wife.
1238
01:22:58,858 --> 01:23:00,024
Oh.
1239
01:23:00,527 --> 01:23:03,194
I'm sorry
for just dropping by. I, um...
1240
01:23:04,363 --> 01:23:08,065
I wanted to thank you for, um,
what you did
1241
01:23:08,568 --> 01:23:10,270
for our family,
for our son Larry.
1242
01:23:12,538 --> 01:23:13,672
Please, come in.
1243
01:23:17,476 --> 01:23:18,744
- Thanks.
- Go on in.
1244
01:23:22,917 --> 01:23:25,719
- Hope you like sweet tea.
- I do.
1245
01:23:28,521 --> 01:23:31,356
So Larry is doing better, huh?
1246
01:23:32,024 --> 01:23:33,190
He is.
1247
01:23:33,826 --> 01:23:35,728
You know,
sometimes it's hard to...
1248
01:23:37,262 --> 01:23:39,599
- keep him calm.
- Mm.
1249
01:23:42,201 --> 01:23:45,738
Well, has, uh...
has Larry always been like that?
1250
01:23:46,238 --> 01:23:47,407
Yeah.
1251
01:23:48,574 --> 01:23:50,911
You know, when he was little,
it just...
1252
01:23:51,677 --> 01:23:53,680
He started not to be able
to do things.
1253
01:23:56,750 --> 01:23:58,018
[chuckles]
1254
01:23:58,851 --> 01:24:01,152
Has C.P. always been like that?
1255
01:24:01,154 --> 01:24:03,020
- [Mary] Oh.
- [both laugh]
1256
01:24:03,023 --> 01:24:04,057
Yes.
1257
01:24:05,826 --> 01:24:06,859
More or less.
1258
01:24:09,195 --> 01:24:12,764
You know, he used to be
a really good baseball player.
1259
01:24:12,765 --> 01:24:14,198
- Really?
- Showed a lot of promise.
1260
01:24:14,201 --> 01:24:15,466
Colleges came and looked at him
1261
01:24:15,469 --> 01:24:17,805
right over here at Liberty Park.
1262
01:24:18,939 --> 01:24:20,438
Where we met, actually.
1263
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,341
Came up to me, he's so nervous.
1264
01:24:23,141 --> 01:24:25,511
Couldn't even talk. So handsome.
1265
01:24:26,145 --> 01:24:28,445
- Oh.
- [laughing]
1266
01:24:28,448 --> 01:24:29,481
What?
1267
01:24:30,115 --> 01:24:32,019
- C.P. handsome?
- Oh.
1268
01:24:33,052 --> 01:24:34,153
He was.
1269
01:24:37,256 --> 01:24:38,458
Okay.
1270
01:24:40,060 --> 01:24:42,096
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.
1271
01:24:44,099 --> 01:24:45,131
Thank you again.
1272
01:24:45,365 --> 01:24:46,399
You're welcome.
1273
01:24:52,271 --> 01:24:54,940
- Ann...
- Yes?
1274
01:24:54,943 --> 01:24:56,677
Claiborne is, uh...
1275
01:24:59,814 --> 01:25:01,515
He's doing the best he can.
1276
01:25:04,618 --> 01:25:05,952
Bye.
1277
01:25:05,953 --> 01:25:07,121
Good-bye, Miss Ellis.
1278
01:25:11,324 --> 01:25:13,993
[gunfire]
1279
01:25:28,643 --> 01:25:30,307
Gimme a minute with C.P.,
would you?
1280
01:25:30,310 --> 01:25:31,546
Sure thing, Floyd.
1281
01:25:43,190 --> 01:25:45,292
[gunfire continues]
1282
01:25:50,131 --> 01:25:52,033
Hey. What do you say, Floyd?
1283
01:25:54,636 --> 01:25:55,703
You got one of those?
1284
01:26:03,944 --> 01:26:05,345
See the paper?
1285
01:26:06,345 --> 01:26:09,384
Nothin' I could do about that.
All part of this charrette business.
1286
01:26:14,389 --> 01:26:16,090
It don't look right.
1287
01:26:16,091 --> 01:26:17,756
It don't matter
what it looks like, Floyd.
1288
01:26:17,759 --> 01:26:19,059
Matters what it is.
1289
01:26:19,060 --> 01:26:20,427
Oh, yeah.
1290
01:26:21,029 --> 01:26:24,231
Your wife making friends
with Ann Atwater what it is?
1291
01:26:25,667 --> 01:26:26,701
What?
1292
01:26:28,269 --> 01:26:30,139
Couple of the boys
saw 'em today.
1293
01:26:32,273 --> 01:26:33,876
How am I supposed to
explain that?
1294
01:26:40,916 --> 01:26:42,750
She did something for Larry
is all.
1295
01:26:42,752 --> 01:26:44,618
Mary was just
probably thanking her.
1296
01:26:45,252 --> 01:26:47,353
Niggers is doing you
favors now, C.P.?
1297
01:26:47,354 --> 01:26:49,023
Stop with the bullshit, Floyd.
1298
01:26:49,423 --> 01:26:51,060
Mary's always gone her own way.
1299
01:26:51,725 --> 01:26:54,594
Has nothin' to do with how
I do my business. Never has.
1300
01:26:54,595 --> 01:26:56,231
Now you got something to say?
Say it.
1301
01:26:58,900 --> 01:27:00,467
Look around you, C.P.
1302
01:27:00,869 --> 01:27:03,371
All these guys,
they look up to you.
1303
01:27:03,939 --> 01:27:05,140
They need you.
1304
01:27:06,407 --> 01:27:08,778
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm here, ain't I?
1305
01:27:09,511 --> 01:27:12,547
- Are you?
- I'm doin' everything I can.
1306
01:27:20,722 --> 01:27:24,460
[man vocalizing]
1307
01:27:26,930 --> 01:27:29,131
[folk-pop plays]
1308
01:27:33,434 --> 01:27:36,204
[man singing]
1309
01:28:12,975 --> 01:28:15,478
Hey. Is Mr. Trombley in?
1310
01:28:15,945 --> 01:28:17,814
- Yes, sir. He's...
- Can I help you?
1311
01:28:18,515 --> 01:28:19,681
Mr. Trombley.
1312
01:28:20,682 --> 01:28:23,652
We're from Durham Fire and
Life Safety Department. Uh...
1313
01:28:24,287 --> 01:28:26,189
We've got a random
inspection order here.
1314
01:28:26,654 --> 01:28:27,890
On a Sunday?
1315
01:28:29,490 --> 01:28:30,993
We do 'em when they come in.
1316
01:28:31,627 --> 01:28:33,828
We'll need access
to your breaker panels
1317
01:28:33,829 --> 01:28:36,166
and your hazardous materials
storage area.
1318
01:28:36,632 --> 01:28:40,002
Yeah, all right. Sure.
Uh, come on back. Right this way.
1319
01:28:43,239 --> 01:28:45,472
So, Mr. Trombley, it, uh,
1320
01:28:45,475 --> 01:28:47,140
seems your
circuit breaker panels
1321
01:28:47,143 --> 01:28:49,042
are not up to code.
1322
01:28:49,045 --> 01:28:51,813
You need at least 30-inch
clearance on both sides,
1323
01:28:51,814 --> 01:28:53,582
and you've got
a little under two feet.
1324
01:28:55,484 --> 01:29:00,520
Oh... [stammers] They've been like
that for 20 years, since I was a kid.
1325
01:29:00,523 --> 01:29:04,527
Nevertheless, that needs to be
rectified before you can, uh, reopen.
1326
01:29:05,162 --> 01:29:09,599
- Reopen?
- Yeah. Gotta shut you down... indefinitely.
1327
01:29:10,367 --> 01:29:14,469
What? Oh, no. I...
See, I can't shut down.
1328
01:29:14,470 --> 01:29:16,506
I got...
I got a business here... Th...
1329
01:29:19,542 --> 01:29:21,578
[chuckles]
What are they supposed to do?
1330
01:29:25,349 --> 01:29:28,985
I'm gonna need them boys
outta here... now.
1331
01:29:32,390 --> 01:29:33,657
Like I said...
1332
01:29:35,457 --> 01:29:37,627
if you fix things...
1333
01:29:39,063 --> 01:29:41,097
you'll be open again in no time.
1334
01:29:42,899 --> 01:29:46,170
You have a nice day,
Mr. Trombley.
1335
01:30:39,757 --> 01:30:41,559
My, my, my.
1336
01:30:42,592 --> 01:30:44,462
Aren't you
a pretty little thing?
1337
01:30:45,195 --> 01:30:46,363
Who are you?
1338
01:30:47,198 --> 01:30:48,298
What do you want?
1339
01:30:48,932 --> 01:30:51,569
Take it easy, Maddy.
We're just, uh,
1340
01:30:52,436 --> 01:30:54,171
[chuckles] friends.
1341
01:30:56,006 --> 01:30:57,175
Please don't.
1342
01:30:57,841 --> 01:31:00,610
Shh. It's okay.
1343
01:31:05,082 --> 01:31:07,319
None of these pictures
have niggers in 'em.
1344
01:31:10,287 --> 01:31:13,057
We heard you might be
a friend of niggers.
1345
01:31:13,358 --> 01:31:15,793
But I don't see none
on this wall.
1346
01:31:18,463 --> 01:31:21,966
Just to be sure though,
we're gonna need to hear you say it.
1347
01:31:23,502 --> 01:31:24,536
Say it?
1348
01:31:26,872 --> 01:31:27,905
Yes.
1349
01:31:28,907 --> 01:31:29,940
Say it.
1350
01:31:30,707 --> 01:31:33,377
That you ain't
a friend of niggers.
1351
01:31:35,212 --> 01:31:39,850
I'm... not a friend of niggers.
1352
01:31:44,256 --> 01:31:45,256
Again.
1353
01:31:46,190 --> 01:31:49,360
I'm not a friend of niggers.
1354
01:31:52,663 --> 01:31:53,765
[scoffs]
1355
01:31:57,203 --> 01:31:58,237
Well, then.
1356
01:31:58,636 --> 01:32:00,738
We must've got
some bad information.
1357
01:32:01,872 --> 01:32:04,609
Guess there was no need
for the visit after all.
1358
01:32:10,048 --> 01:32:11,451
Thanks for the beer, Maddy.
1359
01:32:18,722 --> 01:32:22,127
[jukebox: Woman singing country]
1360
01:32:27,399 --> 01:32:28,966
- Hey.
- Beer, C.P.?
1361
01:32:29,935 --> 01:32:31,404
Yeah. Thanks, Doreen.
1362
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:34,639
[bottle opens]
1363
01:32:39,212 --> 01:32:41,814
[Wiley laughing]
1364
01:32:42,448 --> 01:32:43,648
C.P.!
1365
01:32:44,149 --> 01:32:45,983
Hey, C.P.!
1366
01:32:45,984 --> 01:32:47,417
What do you say, boys?
1367
01:32:47,420 --> 01:32:49,755
Come on, sit down.
1368
01:32:50,323 --> 01:32:52,989
Nah. Been a long week.
1369
01:32:52,992 --> 01:32:55,059
Just gonna have one beer and go.
1370
01:32:55,060 --> 01:32:57,662
Oh, come on, C.P.
We celebratin'.
1371
01:32:58,131 --> 01:33:01,097
Yeah. What are you
celebratin', Wiley?
1372
01:33:01,100 --> 01:33:05,072
We celebrating
you gettin' your votes, C.P.
1373
01:33:05,704 --> 01:33:08,940
Well, a little early for that,
don't you think?
1374
01:33:09,307 --> 01:33:11,144
- [laughs]
- But have fun.
1375
01:33:18,650 --> 01:33:20,418
What do you know about votes,
Wiley?
1376
01:33:22,921 --> 01:33:24,957
[laughing]
1377
01:33:28,595 --> 01:33:30,564
[people chattering]
1378
01:33:35,502 --> 01:33:37,835
- [door opens]
- You shut him down?
1379
01:33:37,837 --> 01:33:39,537
- What are you doin' here, C.P.?
- [door closes]
1380
01:33:39,539 --> 01:33:41,139
- You shut him down.
- What are you talking about?
1381
01:33:41,140 --> 01:33:43,210
- Lee Trombley.
- Is that what this is about?
1382
01:33:43,708 --> 01:33:47,045
You didn't have to do that, Carvie.
You didn't have to do that.
1383
01:33:47,046 --> 01:33:49,881
This not a good time to show up, C.P.
I got donors in there.
1384
01:33:49,882 --> 01:33:51,682
You haven't answered
my question.
1385
01:33:51,685 --> 01:33:53,854
We're just trying
to give you a leg up is all.
1386
01:33:54,686 --> 01:33:57,688
Call it insurance, whatever you want.
You got a big vote tomorrow.
1387
01:33:57,689 --> 01:33:59,890
That man served his country,
Carvie.
1388
01:33:59,891 --> 01:34:02,194
Two tours in Vietnam.
He's a working man with a family.
1389
01:34:02,195 --> 01:34:04,429
- Well...
- "Protect the white working man."
1390
01:34:04,430 --> 01:34:06,264
Isn't that what you always said,
what we always talked about?
1391
01:34:06,265 --> 01:34:11,438
C.P., sometimes there are
necessary evils.
1392
01:34:12,005 --> 01:34:14,640
Necessary evils
for the greater good.
1393
01:34:15,108 --> 01:34:17,042
And it's my job to make
those kind of decisions.
1394
01:34:17,043 --> 01:34:18,811
You're just gonna
have to trust me on this.
1395
01:34:23,283 --> 01:34:24,984
You should get
back to your party.
1396
01:34:26,621 --> 01:34:28,889
C.P.? Are we good?
1397
01:34:50,712 --> 01:34:53,145
Hey, Floyd called.
Said they want you at Klavern.
1398
01:34:56,583 --> 01:34:57,719
Klavern?
1399
01:35:00,454 --> 01:35:02,788
Something about a meeting
at 8:30 or something.
1400
01:35:04,359 --> 01:35:05,525
What? You didn't know?
1401
01:35:07,427 --> 01:35:09,363
Oh. You all right?
1402
01:35:10,364 --> 01:35:11,466
You look tired.
1403
01:35:15,903 --> 01:35:17,104
Yeah, I'm all right.
1404
01:35:18,238 --> 01:35:20,408
- You all right?
- [chuckles] Yeah, I'm all right.
1405
01:36:01,849 --> 01:36:03,984
[crowd chattering]
1406
01:36:36,585 --> 01:36:38,520
[chattering stops]
1407
01:36:50,631 --> 01:36:52,868
- [whispers, indistinct]
- He's here.
1408
01:37:02,411 --> 01:37:03,546
Come on up, C.P.
1409
01:37:15,791 --> 01:37:16,791
Hey.
1410
01:37:17,359 --> 01:37:18,527
What's goin' on?
1411
01:37:20,529 --> 01:37:22,430
Distinguished Klansmen,
1412
01:37:22,832 --> 01:37:27,067
every now and again,
extraordinary things occur within our walls
1413
01:37:27,069 --> 01:37:28,503
that need to be addressed.
1414
01:37:29,537 --> 01:37:33,609
As your state leader,
it is my job to address them.
1415
01:37:34,376 --> 01:37:36,543
In our fight against communism,
1416
01:37:36,546 --> 01:37:39,046
against integration,
against mongrelism...
1417
01:37:40,350 --> 01:37:42,550
we turn to those among us
1418
01:37:42,551 --> 01:37:47,289
who can lead us into
a pure, white future.
1419
01:37:48,425 --> 01:37:51,795
We have one such man
here in North Carolina.
1420
01:37:53,695 --> 01:37:56,764
Your Exhalted Cyclops,
C.P. Ellis.
1421
01:37:56,765 --> 01:38:00,402
[applause, cheering]
1422
01:38:04,939 --> 01:38:10,579
So, in recognition
of this man's tireless effort,
1423
01:38:11,180 --> 01:38:12,846
for his forethought and vision
1424
01:38:12,849 --> 01:38:15,652
in establishing the UKA's
first Youth Corps...
1425
01:38:17,252 --> 01:38:18,921
I guess I'll just read this.
1426
01:38:19,922 --> 01:38:23,091
It says,
"The United Klans of America"
1427
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,761
hereby bestow upon
Mr. Claiborne Paul Ellis
1428
01:38:26,764 --> 01:38:29,296
the honor of being named.
1429
01:38:29,298 --> 01:38:34,304
"North Carolina's 'Exhalted'
Cyclops of the Year, 1971."
1430
01:38:38,442 --> 01:38:40,444
[indistinct]
1431
01:39:12,475 --> 01:39:15,844
What do you mean, you're not the right
person? Baby, the vote is tonight.
1432
01:39:15,845 --> 01:39:18,747
- Yeah, but there's gotta be somebody else.
- There's nobody else, Maddy.
1433
01:39:18,748 --> 01:39:20,448
You heard everything,
you've seen everything.
1434
01:39:20,451 --> 01:39:21,917
No one else can take your seat.
1435
01:39:21,918 --> 01:39:23,386
What brought this on, Maddy?
1436
01:39:24,989 --> 01:39:26,622
What happened?
1437
01:39:26,623 --> 01:39:28,458
- Nothing. I just...
- [footsteps approach]
1438
01:39:31,661 --> 01:39:35,465
It's nothing. Um... It's fine.
If you'll just excuse me.
1439
01:39:35,798 --> 01:39:37,367
[Ann] Mm-hmm.
1440
01:39:49,913 --> 01:39:52,082
Maddy Mays don't want to vote.
1441
01:39:52,716 --> 01:39:54,920
Just like that, out of the blue.
[snaps fingers]
1442
01:39:57,154 --> 01:39:59,021
- What'd you do to that girl?
- Now, Ann.
1443
01:39:59,024 --> 01:40:01,064
I saw the way she looked...
Don't you "Now, Ann" me.
1444
01:40:02,027 --> 01:40:03,828
You coward.
1445
01:40:04,427 --> 01:40:06,730
- I ain't no coward.
- Yeah, you a coward.
1446
01:40:06,997 --> 01:40:10,164
Couldn't do it in here.
Too many people with they own thoughts.
1447
01:40:10,167 --> 01:40:12,935
You couldn't win in here,
so you went and you fixed it out there.
1448
01:40:12,938 --> 01:40:15,257
- I don't have to listen to this.
- You gonna listen today.
1449
01:40:16,206 --> 01:40:18,274
What you so afraid of, C.P.?
1450
01:40:18,876 --> 01:40:21,074
- I ain't afraid of nothing.
- Yeah, you is. You're afraid.
1451
01:40:21,077 --> 01:40:23,145
You afraid
you gonna lose control.
1452
01:40:23,146 --> 01:40:26,081
You afraid you gonna lose
what you ain't even got, C.P.!
1453
01:40:26,082 --> 01:40:28,250
You're poor.
Just like the rest of us.
1454
01:40:28,252 --> 01:40:30,085
You ain't got nothing
'cept problems.
1455
01:40:30,087 --> 01:40:31,988
Talkin' 'bout you...
you in control.
1456
01:40:31,989 --> 01:40:34,224
You ain't no more in control
than the man in the moon.
1457
01:40:35,192 --> 01:40:37,628
You're a bigger coward
than I thought you was.
1458
01:40:38,063 --> 01:40:40,030
[footsteps depart]
1459
01:41:02,755 --> 01:41:04,756
[male reporter]
The five o'clock news hour.
1460
01:41:05,091 --> 01:41:09,591
With the highly anticipated charrette
vote just a few hours away now,
1461
01:41:09,594 --> 01:41:12,561
we caught up
with WDNC's Ken Meadows,
1462
01:41:12,564 --> 01:41:14,730
who was with some students
1463
01:41:14,733 --> 01:41:17,368
gathered outside the
charrette site earlier today.
1464
01:41:17,769 --> 01:41:19,268
[Meadows] Do you think
it's gonna be okay?
1465
01:41:19,270 --> 01:41:20,738
[child]
Well, it might be all right.
1466
01:41:22,207 --> 01:41:24,039
[child 2]
I think the same thing too.
1467
01:41:24,042 --> 01:41:25,975
- [child 3] Uh-uh. I don't.
- [Meadows] Why not?
1468
01:41:25,976 --> 01:41:29,979
I don't. Because, see,
our first day that I went out there
1469
01:41:29,981 --> 01:41:31,815
where we had to scramble,
you know.
1470
01:41:32,216 --> 01:41:33,618
But it was okay.
1471
01:41:34,653 --> 01:41:37,787
[girl] It doesn't matter what school
you go to, it's gonna be the same.
1472
01:41:37,789 --> 01:41:39,658
You get your education
just the same.
1473
01:41:40,457 --> 01:41:43,929
I'm fixin' to enroll now,
and it'll be my school.
1474
01:41:45,329 --> 01:41:47,898
[Meadows] Are you concerned for
your daughter, or is she concerned?
1475
01:41:47,899 --> 01:41:49,500
[woman]
Well, I'm concerned for her,
1476
01:41:49,502 --> 01:41:52,003
and I think she's concerned
for her education.
1477
01:41:52,938 --> 01:41:54,936
[Meadows] Laverne,
I just talked to your mother.
1478
01:41:54,939 --> 01:41:56,939
She said you're a little concerned.
Are you?
1479
01:41:56,940 --> 01:41:59,176
- [Laverne] I'm very much concerned.- Why?
1480
01:41:59,810 --> 01:42:03,512
Oh, because I wanna...
I wanna be very sure about this year,
1481
01:42:03,515 --> 01:42:06,719
and I want to really know
what they're doing, and...
1482
01:42:07,452 --> 01:42:12,055
I think that it will work out if
everybody cooperates together.
1483
01:42:12,057 --> 01:42:15,958
Because, I mean, this is not
the, probably, first time...
1484
01:42:15,961 --> 01:42:18,764
[continues, indistinct]
1485
01:42:45,190 --> 01:42:47,092
[breath quavers]
1486
01:42:54,899 --> 01:42:57,203
[loud chattering]
1487
01:43:50,256 --> 01:43:53,059
- You did great work, Ann.
- No.
1488
01:43:53,527 --> 01:43:56,961
The one thing those people came here
for, we didn't get it for 'em.
1489
01:43:56,962 --> 01:43:59,332
Not true.
Some of them will be delighted.
1490
01:43:59,966 --> 01:44:01,333
[chuckles]
1491
01:44:02,502 --> 01:44:05,305
You know, I never really
thought you was an Uncle Tom.
1492
01:44:06,338 --> 01:44:07,541
Yes, you did.
1493
01:44:09,176 --> 01:44:11,212
[both chuckling]
1494
01:44:11,746 --> 01:44:13,213
"Roughhouse Annie," huh?
1495
01:44:13,646 --> 01:44:15,182
Don't you forget it.
1496
01:44:24,157 --> 01:44:25,759
Welcome, welcome.
1497
01:44:27,661 --> 01:44:29,930
[applause]
1498
01:44:33,266 --> 01:44:36,502
Well, what a journey
it's been, folks.
1499
01:44:37,137 --> 01:44:40,173
You've all shown such
dedication these past two weeks.
1500
01:44:40,472 --> 01:44:43,978
And regardless of the outcome,
you should be proud.
1501
01:44:51,185 --> 01:44:54,319
The resolution you've put
before this senate is clear,
1502
01:44:54,322 --> 01:44:58,059
it is thoughtful,
and above all, it is brave.
1503
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:00,828
This resolution is
in three parts.
1504
01:45:01,395 --> 01:45:03,296
After I read out each one,
1505
01:45:03,297 --> 01:45:05,698
I will call the senate members
up to cast their votes.
1506
01:45:06,466 --> 01:45:10,168
Each part requires
a two-thirds majority to pass.
1507
01:45:10,171 --> 01:45:11,872
That's eight votes.
1508
01:45:13,405 --> 01:45:14,541
Part one.
1509
01:45:15,542 --> 01:45:18,010
Two students,
one black, one white,
1510
01:45:18,011 --> 01:45:21,882
to be appointed every year
to the Durham school board.
1511
01:45:22,182 --> 01:45:24,185
I vote yes.
1512
01:45:27,688 --> 01:45:28,855
Mr. Watford.
1513
01:45:30,625 --> 01:45:31,826
I'm a no.
1514
01:45:33,994 --> 01:45:35,694
- I vote yes.
- [applause]
1515
01:45:35,695 --> 01:45:38,166
[Bill] Part one passes
with eight votes.
1516
01:45:41,203 --> 01:45:46,840
Part two. This calls that summer classes
be included in the school board budget
1517
01:45:46,841 --> 01:45:49,909
so the black students become
level with their white peers.
1518
01:45:49,912 --> 01:45:51,046
Mr. Weeks.
1519
01:45:52,747 --> 01:45:55,046
- I vote no.
- [scattered applause]
1520
01:45:55,048 --> 01:45:56,117
Mr. Cox.
1521
01:45:57,150 --> 01:45:58,286
[Cox] I vote yes.
1522
01:46:00,688 --> 01:46:01,756
I vote yes.
1523
01:46:05,359 --> 01:46:07,792
[Bill] Part two passes
with eight votes.
1524
01:46:07,795 --> 01:46:10,730
[applause]
1525
01:46:19,472 --> 01:46:20,641
Part three.
1526
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:26,480
Public school integration.
1527
01:46:28,050 --> 01:46:29,184
In summary,
1528
01:46:30,085 --> 01:46:32,953
this calls for full
and immediate integration
1529
01:46:32,954 --> 01:46:35,890
starting in the fall semester
of this school year.
1530
01:46:36,757 --> 01:46:40,760
The resolution defines full
integration by setting a race ratio
1531
01:46:40,761 --> 01:46:45,599
of no less than 25 percent
of any race at each school.
1532
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:49,868
And further, that busing be
made available to students
1533
01:46:49,871 --> 01:46:53,175
to aid in the implementation
of this ratio.
1534
01:46:55,577 --> 01:46:58,313
We'll start the vote
on this side with Miss Wilson.
1535
01:47:00,082 --> 01:47:02,149
[people whispering]
1536
01:47:07,989 --> 01:47:09,824
I vote yes.
1537
01:47:15,364 --> 01:47:16,466
Mr. Watford?
1538
01:47:23,006 --> 01:47:24,104
I vote no.
1539
01:47:24,106 --> 01:47:26,475
[applause]
1540
01:47:28,377 --> 01:47:30,045
Mr. Mose.
1541
01:47:34,317 --> 01:47:35,948
I vote yes.
1542
01:47:35,951 --> 01:47:37,819
[applause]
1543
01:47:40,822 --> 01:47:41,989
Mr. Weeks.
1544
01:47:46,496 --> 01:47:49,695
I vote "hell no."
1545
01:47:49,698 --> 01:47:51,466
[cheering, applause]
1546
01:47:55,938 --> 01:47:57,206
Mr. Cox?
1547
01:48:02,110 --> 01:48:03,743
I vote "hell yes."
1548
01:48:03,746 --> 01:48:05,948
[cheering, applause]
1549
01:48:12,189 --> 01:48:13,356
Mr. Trombley.
1550
01:48:24,599 --> 01:48:26,135
Thank you, Mr. Riddick.
1551
01:48:33,409 --> 01:48:36,344
I believe in school
integration, and I vote yes.
1552
01:48:36,345 --> 01:48:38,881
[applause]
1553
01:48:41,318 --> 01:48:42,752
It's not gonna matter.
1554
01:48:49,692 --> 01:48:50,792
[Bill] Reverend.
1555
01:48:53,729 --> 01:48:59,636
With the good Lord as my
guide, I proudly vote yes.
1556
01:49:03,673 --> 01:49:04,807
Miss Mays.
1557
01:49:23,292 --> 01:49:27,997
Although I think it should be
considered in the future, I...
1558
01:49:31,268 --> 01:49:34,439
I don't believe right now
is the time for integration.
1559
01:49:35,905 --> 01:49:37,841
Respectfully, I vote no.
1560
01:49:39,610 --> 01:49:41,778
- [applause]
- Hey.
1561
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:58,127
[applause quiets]
1562
01:50:11,542 --> 01:50:12,676
Mr. Clement.
1563
01:50:17,847 --> 01:50:22,952
I am honored to have had the
chance to get to know most of you
1564
01:50:22,953 --> 01:50:24,922
these past few weeks,
1565
01:50:25,323 --> 01:50:28,259
to work on these vital issues.
1566
01:50:28,693 --> 01:50:32,930
And while I fear
that my vote will be in vain,
1567
01:50:33,666 --> 01:50:35,233
I'm still gonna vote.
1568
01:50:36,067 --> 01:50:38,903
And I vote yes
on school integration.
1569
01:50:44,542 --> 01:50:45,577
Mr. Keith.
1570
01:50:52,050 --> 01:50:53,083
No.
1571
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:03,695
Miss Atwater.
1572
01:51:32,122 --> 01:51:33,157
Yes.
1573
01:51:33,890 --> 01:51:36,127
[applause]
1574
01:51:40,632 --> 01:51:42,467
Looks like
we finally shut her up.
1575
01:51:44,502 --> 01:51:45,770
Mr. Ellis.
1576
01:51:46,604 --> 01:51:48,105
- [applause]
- All right.
1577
01:51:48,673 --> 01:51:49,907
All right.
1578
01:51:53,212 --> 01:51:54,279
All right.
1579
01:51:55,381 --> 01:51:56,414
Thank you.
1580
01:51:57,048 --> 01:51:58,114
Thank you.
1581
01:51:58,117 --> 01:51:59,585
[whistling]
1582
01:52:00,719 --> 01:52:02,154
I-I-I...
1583
01:52:07,726 --> 01:52:11,329
- Uh...
- [applause quiets]
1584
01:52:12,465 --> 01:52:14,765
I guess I'd first echo
what Mr. Clement said.
1585
01:52:14,768 --> 01:52:16,670
It was good to get to know
some of you, and I...
1586
01:52:17,801 --> 01:52:21,506
I know many of you will be
disappointed with our outcome here.
1587
01:52:22,675 --> 01:52:23,708
I, uh...
1588
01:52:38,157 --> 01:52:40,059
You know, before I go on...
[clears throat]
1589
01:52:41,461 --> 01:52:43,328
I'd like to show you all
something.
1590
01:52:45,963 --> 01:52:48,399
- This is my Klan membership card.
- [man] All right.
1591
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:50,301
[scattered laughter]
1592
01:52:50,302 --> 01:52:53,506
I was given this card
12 years ago.
1593
01:52:54,740 --> 01:52:56,841
It's been in my wallet
ever since.
1594
01:52:57,577 --> 01:52:59,644
In fact, I cried
when they gave me this card.
1595
01:52:59,645 --> 01:53:02,681
And I grew up in a house where
I was taught men don't cry.
1596
01:53:03,449 --> 01:53:04,951
But I cried anyway.
1597
01:53:05,917 --> 01:53:09,555
I cried because it was the first
time in my life I didn't feel alone.
1598
01:53:12,658 --> 01:53:14,826
Sure, I was married
with a family.
1599
01:53:14,828 --> 01:53:17,462
That's not the kind of alone
I'm talking about.
1600
01:53:17,463 --> 01:53:19,864
As a man, you're expected
to take care of that family.
1601
01:53:21,201 --> 01:53:23,235
And I was havin' a hard time
doin' that.
1602
01:53:23,969 --> 01:53:27,606
We were struggling. So...
1603
01:53:28,841 --> 01:53:31,175
There I was.
I was a part of something now.
1604
01:53:31,176 --> 01:53:34,613
Something much,
much bigger than me.
1605
01:53:36,483 --> 01:53:39,519
And then when they made me
president, boy, I was over the moon.
1606
01:53:40,854 --> 01:53:43,122
Poor old C.P. Ellis
president of something.
1607
01:53:44,759 --> 01:53:46,394
Whoa. [Chuckles]
1608
01:53:54,466 --> 01:53:56,536
And it's a real brotherhood.
It is.
1609
01:53:56,836 --> 01:53:59,104
In the Klan,
you look out for one another.
1610
01:53:59,538 --> 01:54:02,675
Nobody is left behind.
Everybody does for everybody else.
1611
01:54:03,376 --> 01:54:05,208
In fact, it says it right
here on this card...
1612
01:54:05,211 --> 01:54:08,914
It says "Non silba, sed anthar."
1613
01:54:10,048 --> 01:54:12,918
Which means "Not for
oneself, but for others."
1614
01:54:13,720 --> 01:54:15,087
That's our motto.
1615
01:54:18,591 --> 01:54:20,260
But see, now I got a problem.
1616
01:54:21,561 --> 01:54:22,662
There's a problem...
1617
01:54:24,465 --> 01:54:26,765
'cause there's a lot of that going
around right here in this room.
1618
01:54:26,766 --> 01:54:28,101
People doin' for others.
1619
01:54:29,904 --> 01:54:32,273
Last two weeks have been
full of people just do...
1620
01:54:33,140 --> 01:54:34,341
doing for others.
1621
01:54:35,475 --> 01:54:37,911
And they're not just white people.
There's a...
1622
01:54:37,912 --> 01:54:40,247
There's a lot of black folk
doing for others too.
1623
01:54:41,614 --> 01:54:43,314
But I'm the president
of the Klan.
1624
01:54:43,315 --> 01:54:44,917
I'm supposed to hate black folk.
1625
01:54:44,918 --> 01:54:48,121
I teach people
to hate black folk.
1626
01:54:50,055 --> 01:54:52,426
They're supposed to be
inferior to us.
1627
01:54:55,094 --> 01:54:56,831
Now, if I don't believe that,
1628
01:54:57,398 --> 01:55:00,434
then I have no business being
president of the Klan.
1629
01:55:06,105 --> 01:55:07,408
Well, I don't believe it.
1630
01:55:10,779 --> 01:55:12,179
So my problem is...
1631
01:55:13,413 --> 01:55:15,315
I don't have no need
for this anymore.
1632
01:55:30,663 --> 01:55:32,430
Mr. Riddick, I vote yes.
1633
01:55:32,432 --> 01:55:33,498
Jesus!
1634
01:55:33,501 --> 01:55:34,867
[cheering]
1635
01:55:34,868 --> 01:55:36,203
[no audible dialogue]
1636
01:55:50,350 --> 01:55:51,953
I just don't believe it.
1637
01:56:01,462 --> 01:56:02,631
[Ann] C.P.?
1638
01:56:06,033 --> 01:56:07,135
C.P.?
1639
01:56:33,996 --> 01:56:36,698
[phone rings]
1640
01:56:39,935 --> 01:56:41,904
[rings]
1641
01:56:46,943 --> 01:56:48,043
Yeah?
1642
01:57:13,735 --> 01:57:14,869
[Jeb] Where's the key?
1643
01:57:15,235 --> 01:57:17,038
- Jeb!
- Where's the key?
1644
01:57:20,775 --> 01:57:22,310
Call the fire department!
1645
01:57:29,918 --> 01:57:32,020
- Come on.
- [both straining]
1646
01:58:20,469 --> 01:58:21,671
[woman] Thank you.
1647
01:58:22,337 --> 01:58:25,942
Next on the agenda is delivery
of the charrette resolution.
1648
01:58:26,475 --> 01:58:29,479
The council recognizes
Miss Atwater.
1649
01:58:49,032 --> 01:58:51,567
[phone rings]
1650
01:58:55,072 --> 01:58:57,106
[rings]
1651
01:58:59,676 --> 01:59:01,444
Yeah. Hello?
1652
01:59:02,145 --> 01:59:04,314
[line disconnects, dial tone]
1653
01:59:56,734 --> 01:59:58,136
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1654
02:00:00,270 --> 02:00:01,404
How many?
1655
02:00:01,773 --> 02:00:04,609
Well, you lost
about 650 gallons.
1656
02:00:05,342 --> 02:00:07,043
You're lucky
the thing didn't explode.
1657
02:00:07,578 --> 02:00:09,079
Yeah, okay.
1658
02:00:09,579 --> 02:00:13,217
You want to replace the loss?
I can have a truck here tomorrow.
1659
02:00:15,752 --> 02:00:17,886
No. Let's see how
the rest of the month goes.
1660
02:00:17,889 --> 02:00:18,956
All right.
1661
02:00:20,289 --> 02:00:22,793
- What's this?
- Would you sign both pages?
1662
02:00:45,149 --> 02:00:46,284
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
1663
02:00:47,019 --> 02:00:48,519
Change your mind,
give us a call.
1664
02:01:11,243 --> 02:01:12,976
- Mr. Ellis.
- Mm-hmm?
1665
02:01:14,511 --> 02:01:16,514
If you need to let me go,
it's okay.
1666
02:01:17,181 --> 02:01:19,283
You know,
until things pick up again.
1667
02:01:20,818 --> 02:01:23,688
I appreciate that, Jeb.
But we're not there yet, okay?
1668
02:01:24,122 --> 02:01:26,725
So for now, go ahead,
take your lunch break.
1669
02:01:27,859 --> 02:01:29,493
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1670
02:01:30,261 --> 02:01:31,329
All right.
1671
02:01:34,298 --> 02:01:37,002
- [vehicle approaches]
- [bell dings]
1672
02:01:57,689 --> 02:02:01,523
I hope you didn't come here to
ask me to co-chair somethin' else.
1673
02:02:01,524 --> 02:02:04,327
Nah. I just came
to say good-bye is all.
1674
02:02:04,328 --> 02:02:07,099
- Back to Raleigh, huh?
- Back to Raleigh.
1675
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:16,840
What trouble you been causin'?
1676
02:02:16,841 --> 02:02:19,444
- Just organizing, you know me.
- [chuckles]
1677
02:02:20,145 --> 02:02:22,546
- It's what you do, right?
- It's just what I do.
1678
02:02:22,916 --> 02:02:24,648
I sure wish
you coulda been there
1679
02:02:24,649 --> 02:02:27,217
when we handed in
our resolution. Mmm.
1680
02:02:27,220 --> 02:02:29,453
Old Carvie Oldham
didn't even show up.
1681
02:02:29,988 --> 02:02:31,024
[scoffs]
1682
02:02:32,557 --> 02:02:34,027
Wish I'd seen that.
1683
02:02:34,527 --> 02:02:35,895
How are you doin', C.P.?
1684
02:02:36,762 --> 02:02:38,597
Oh, had a little trouble here.
1685
02:02:39,765 --> 02:02:41,730
Just trying to
put it back together.
1686
02:02:41,733 --> 02:02:43,100
Yeah, we heard.
1687
02:02:44,136 --> 02:02:45,902
I'm so sorry, C.P.
1688
02:02:45,904 --> 02:02:48,774
It's okay.
Although not sure it matters much.
1689
02:02:49,541 --> 02:02:52,742
Nobody stoppin' to buy gas
from me these days.
1690
02:02:52,743 --> 02:02:55,046
[horns honking in distance]
1691
02:02:55,047 --> 02:02:58,449
Well... Maybe things
will pick up for you.
1692
02:03:00,219 --> 02:03:01,787
What you smilin' at?
1693
02:03:02,087 --> 02:03:04,189
- [chuckling]
- [honking continues]
1694
02:03:10,595 --> 02:03:12,564
[honking continues]

02:03:33,819 --> 02:03:35,921
That's just what I do, C.P.
1696
02:03:36,288 --> 02:03:38,557
You know that.
That's just what I do.
1697
02:03:55,475 --> 02:03:58,578
- [bell dings]
- Hey, Jeb. We got customers.
1698
02:04:02,815 --> 02:04:05,485
Gas? [Chuckles]
1699
02:04:05,853 --> 02:04:07,485
- Gas?
- [Jeb] All right, sir.
1700
02:04:07,488 --> 02:04:09,054
[C.P.] You want gas?
1701
02:04:09,055 --> 02:04:10,858
- [Jeb] Yeah, no problem.
- [C.P.] All right.
1702
02:04:15,329 --> 02:04:17,662
[soul song plays]
1703
02:04:24,438 --> 02:04:27,240
[man singing]
1704
02:04:29,342 --> 02:04:33,310
She can upset the world with
her mouth if she wants to.
1705
02:04:33,313 --> 02:04:36,280
But everywhere I go,
every time I pick up a newspaper,
1706
02:04:36,283 --> 02:04:39,618
Ann Atwater's been before the
council, the county commission,
1707
02:04:39,619 --> 02:04:42,020
or she was at some
shopping center boycotting,
1708
02:04:42,021 --> 02:04:43,791
or she was downtown
at Woolworths.
1709
02:04:44,359 --> 02:04:46,324
And he was woofin' and goin' on,
1710
02:04:46,327 --> 02:04:48,427
and the place was packed
with Klansmen.
1711
02:04:48,430 --> 02:04:51,931
This particular night, C.P.
was up raging and ranting.
1712
02:04:52,533 --> 02:04:54,600
That's when
I wanted to cut his head off.
1713
02:04:54,868 --> 02:04:56,835
And after that first meeting,
1714
02:04:56,837 --> 02:04:59,340
I actually went home saying,
this is crazy.
1715
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:03,542
This is absolutely crazy.
I don't think I wanna do this.
1716
02:05:03,545 --> 02:05:06,412
I mean, I can make a living
easier than this.
1717
02:05:07,081 --> 02:05:09,983
[song continues]
1718
02:05:13,587 --> 02:05:16,524
The story was picked up
in The Washington Post.
1719
02:05:17,224 --> 02:05:19,792
"Black man calls Klansman
'brother.'"
1720
02:05:20,395 --> 02:05:24,532
And of course, my father, when he read
the story in The Washington Post...
1721
02:05:25,599 --> 02:05:27,469
he thought I had lost my mind.
1722
02:05:35,009 --> 02:05:40,881
In becoming my friend,
C.P. has lost a lot.
1723
02:05:41,216 --> 02:05:44,587
Look, you do not make those changes
without having to pay for 'em.
1724
02:05:44,985 --> 02:05:47,886
I know damn well, you know.
1725
02:05:47,889 --> 02:05:49,623
You have to pay for it
eventually.
1726
02:05:50,259 --> 02:05:52,923
We bonded,
and we are still bonding.
1727
02:05:52,926 --> 02:05:54,826
Until I get mad with him
at times.
1728
02:05:54,828 --> 02:05:58,729
But we've made it through these
years, together 30 years,
1729
02:05:58,731 --> 02:06:00,335
and we're still friends.
1730
02:06:01,235 --> 02:06:03,805
[song continues]
1731
02:06:21,623 --> 02:06:26,427
'Cause there are C.P. Ellises and Ann
Atwaters in almost every community.
1732
02:06:27,662 --> 02:06:29,532
They just need
to be brought together
1733
02:06:30,064 --> 02:06:33,636
and experience what we experienced
in Durham with that charrette.
1734
02:06:38,140 --> 02:06:40,208
[no audible dialogue]
1735
02:06:42,243 --> 02:06:44,479
[song fades]
1736
02:06:45,813 --> 02:06:47,814
[pop song playing]
1737
02:06:50,784 --> 02:06:52,987
[man singing]
1738
02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:21,484
[song continues]
1739
02:08:51,307 --> 02:08:53,943
[song continues]
1740
02:10:31,975 --> 02:10:33,944
[song ends]
