00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,631
I think one of the most
emotional moments of my life
3
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,678
was the night that
I was initiated into the Klan.
4
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,354
I was led into the Klavern
hall, which was dark.
5
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,511
The only light that I could
see was a fiery cross.
6
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,591
And that put me
through the ceremony.
7
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,356
Purified me with water.
Laid his hand on my shoulder, says,
8
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,229
"You're part of the Invisible
Empire, United Klans of America."
9
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,678
And there was a tremendous
applause throughout the auditorium.
10
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,354
And I came up off the
floor really in tears
11
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,835
because that's what I'd been
looking for all my life.
12
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,470
An opportunity to be heard,
an opportunity to be something.
13
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,039
I first told him,
"Hell no!"
14
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,192
I would never, ever.
But kill him, that's all I want.
15
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,032
That was on my
heart to kill him.
16
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,109
And this is the kind of
reputation that I have in Durham.
17
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,555
I'm not bragging about it,
but it is the truth.
18
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,758
You can call Durham,
and they will tell you.
19
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,598
No, I will not take no for an answer.
I have to have the word "yes"
20
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,230
because all of our blood,
when it comes out, is the same color.
21
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,517
I haven't seen any blood different
yet than the color of mine.
22
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,877
And, I'm saying whatever you believe
in, and I keep saying it,
23
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,634
stand on it, baby.
Stand on it.
24
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,311
Equal housing now!
Equal housing now! Equal housing now!
25
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,392
They call this
Magic City, Mr. Atkins.
26
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,918
Ain't no magic here.
27
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,759
Abe Greenfeld ain't nothing
but a vile slumlord.
28
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,194
You know it,
and I know it.
29
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,070
And the black people of East Durham
have the same rights as anybody else.
30
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,674
This girl, Mr. Atkins,
31
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,960
this young lady,
is a single mother of three children.
32
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,560
And she wake up this morning
to an eviction notice.
33
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,839
But there's no hot water,
what, baby, for two weeks?
34
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,069
That's right, Miss A.
35
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,118
Two weeks, and you say, what, no toilet?
No toilet.
36
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,591
No toilet. And that ain't
no way for no human to live.
37
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,156
Mr. Atkins,
we done writing letters here.
38
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,751
We want to be heard before
tomorrow night's ruling.
39
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,113
Miss Atwater,
you know our agenda is tight,
40
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,636
and we simply cannot allot time
to everybody that wants to speak.
41
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,554
Now, we thank you.
Show yourselves out.
42
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,156
Mr. Tucker, to what
do I owe this pleasure?
43
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,674
Sit down.
44
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,032
Well, and a mighty fine
afternoon to you, too.
45
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,752
Now, you listen to me, Councilman!
And you too, Mr. Tucker!
46
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,958
We ain't going nowhere until
we get down to the brass tacks.
47
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,151
You understand me?
Everything all right here, Bill?
48
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:04,033
Mr. Oldham, now we have been
sitting here for over half an hour,
49
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,320
and the Councilman, here,
ain't done nothing but... Ann.
50
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,675
Ann. We're gonna give you your
chance to speak tomorrow night.
51
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,915
Are we good now?
52
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:17,429
Not yet.
53
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,749
Come on.
54
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,469
Samuel Grace. Ayes?
55
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,710
Aye.
Nays?
56
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,195
Okay, then.
57
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,794
Fred Eggert, Gene Waddle,
and Samuel Grace
58
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,996
are tentatively approved
as new citizens
59
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,120
of North Carolina Unit Nine
of the Invisible Empire,
60
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,679
United Klans of America.
61
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,195
Kligraph is directed
to certify the petitions
62
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,840
and prepare the oaths
for ceremony.
63
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,354
Roy, next week should be fine.
64
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,433
Final item.
Combat and firearms training
65
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,397
resumes this Saturday
from noon to 4:00
66
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,396
under the supervision
of second officer Floyd Kelly.
67
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,673
And I'll remind
the Youth Corps members
68
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,433
that this training
is mandatory.
69
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,034
Y'all hear me?
I'm talking to you.
70
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,111
Yeah.
71
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,195
Let's bow our heads.
72
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,359
Heavenly Father, give us strong
minds, great hearts,
73
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,431
true faith,
and ready hands.
74
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,192
Keep us unfettered from the world
that we might fight the good fight
75
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:30,918
and be worthy
to claim the prize.
76
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,471
May we as brethren and Klansmen
be steadfast and unremovable.
77
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,953
As we go hence from this Klavern
into the struggle of the alien world,
78
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,356
let us not forget the crowning
glory of a Klansman is to serve.
79
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,270
Non silba, sed anthar.
80
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,193
Not for self,
but for others!
81
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,319
Mmm-hmm.
Get him ready.
82
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,351
You can say that again.
He was born ready.
83
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,475
Ready or not.
84
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,590
Mr. Ellis?
85
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,872
Oh, hey.
86
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,474
This is, uh, this is the new
boy I was telling you about.
87
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,597
Oh, sure. Sure, sure.
88
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,432
Sure, Ben.
Come on in the office.
89
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,794
I'll see you fellows.
90
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,754
Have a seat.
91
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,914
What's your name, son?
92
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,918
Leonard, sir.
93
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,359
Don't be nervous, Leonard.
94
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,834
Ben here tells me you'd like to
be a part of the Youth Corps.
95
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,829
Yes. Yes, sir.
96
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,516
Why do you want to be
in the Youth Corps, Leonard?
97
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,869
To help...
98
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,313
To help protect
the white race of America
99
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,439
from the communist niggers
and Jews who threaten us, sir.
100
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,720
That's a good boy.
101
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,638
But that's not all.
102
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,636
It's our rights,
our freedoms,
103
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,957
our way of life
that need protecting.
104
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,916
We're an endangered species,
Leonard.
105
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,035
You understand?
106
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,680
I do.
107
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,829
Let me show you something.
108
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,595
You see that?
109
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,756
One day, this will be
your most prized possession.
110
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,275
It will give you everything
you need in your life.
111
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,873
Brotherhood, standing in the
community, and a sense of pride
112
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,756
that you're part of something
bigger than yourself.
113
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,958
But, most importantly,
it will be a reminder every day
114
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,274
that you will no longer
be an outsider.
115
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,791
Welcome to the Youth Corps,
Leonard.
116
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,553
We gonna take care
of that thing?
117
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,869
Yeah.
118
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,869
Ben, bring the car around,
out back.
119
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,035
Now what?
120
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,595
We wait.
121
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,752
She got a nigger boyfriend.
122
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,436
The neighbors have been
complaining.
123
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,070
Stay here.
124
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,238
Wait for the light, Wiley.
125
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,040
Hey. Thank you.
Mmm-hmm.
126
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:51,789
Miss Dupree.
127
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,789
Miss Dupree...
Yes, I know, Miss Dupree, but...
128
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,435
Hold on, Miss Dupree.
129
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,960
Miss Dupree says she can't make it.
Her kids...
130
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,394
Oh, no, ma'am.
Come here.
131
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,237
Cissy, you better get your ass
down to City Hall tonight.
132
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,197
No, no, I don't want
to hear that.
133
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,954
I have been a single mother
ever since I was 16,
134
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,077
and that's a whole hell
of a lot longer than you.
135
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,751
Well, child,
it's supposed to be hard.
136
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,797
Are you gonna be down
there tonight or what?
137
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,952
I better see your face
looking black and angry.
138
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,040
Mmm-hmm.
139
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,549
Who's next?
140
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Hey, Jeb, I'll take this one.
141
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,954
Sure, Mr. Ellis.
142
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,835
Finish up that tire for me, will you?
All right.
143
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,520
Can you fill
the place tonight?
144
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,117
You know I can, Carvie.
What's up?
145
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,436
We're ruling
on Greenfeld tonight.
146
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,989
Ann Atwater and all her
Operation Breakthrough niggers
147
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,475
are gonna make a scene.
I just need numbers.
148
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:13,439
Jesus. Greenfeld.
You gonna help that scum?
149
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,789
You know, C.P.
150
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,040
Reelection here.
He got deep pockets.
151
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,396
I need to at least
appear supportive.
152
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,470
And you need to keep your
friends on the city council.
153
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,077
I know, Carvie.
We'll be there.
154
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,840
Oh, you late. Yeah.
155
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,271
I guess that's what
they call Africa time.
156
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,513
First item
on the docket.
157
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,150
In the matter of the
Edgemont community housing,
158
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,874
the council will first hear
from Mr. Paulsen,
159
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,997
representing Mr. Greenfeld.
160
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,115
Good evening.
161
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,072
As you know,
Mr. Greenfeld prides himself
162
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,357
on providing comfortable
housing at affordable rent
163
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,716
to a great many people
in Durham.
164
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,477
The council will hear
Mr. Paulsen.
165
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:49,439
As with any dwelling,
from time to time,
166
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,354
there undoubtedly
will be some wear and tear.
167
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,595
Mr. Greenfeld fully
intends to address any of these issues
168
00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:59,079
that these folks
might have.
169
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,798
However, with
the recent inclement weather,
170
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,589
Mr. Greenfeld has had insufficient
time to get to everyone.
171
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,313
That's a lie.
172
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,591
We ask
that the council grant us
173
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,196
the 90-day extension
for these minor repairs.
174
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,880
Thank you.
175
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,590
Miss Atwater?
176
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,672
Uncomfortable housing
and unaffordable rent
177
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,632
are about the only two things
Abe Greenfeld has ever given us.
178
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,399
Now, I have here with me
179
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,839
79 written complaints from
the residents of Edgemont.
180
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,358
Each and every last one
of them is a code violation.
181
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,270
I brought them here with me
'cause, obviously,
182
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,000
you ain't get them the first couple
times when they were sent here.
183
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,554
Order!
184
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,433
Now we are fed up
with this man
185
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,110
and his eviction notices
and his rent hikes.
186
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,833
He has absolutely no care for
his tenants' living conditions.
187
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,515
We humans. Humans shouldn't
have to live like this.
188
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,989
Thank you for your
comments, Miss Atwater.
189
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,350
And I will personally
190
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,590
pass those complaints
on to the Housing Commission
191
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,149
for future review.
192
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:48,279
At this time, the council will grant
the requested 90-day extension.
193
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,034
Thank you all.
194
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,200
This council will now stand
in recess till next week.
195
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,150
Bye.
196
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,360
Put down
that paper, Claiborne.
197
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,875
Put it down.
All right. Okay, Mama.
198
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,393
Hmm? Daddy.
199
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,551
Hey, it's time
to visit with your children.
200
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,993
Claiborne!
I'm visiting. I... I...
201
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,869
I'm visiting.
202
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,399
How's your marks, Tim?
203
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,313
Tim, answer your father.
204
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,518
I'm getting
an "F" in math.
205
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,239
That's 'cause you're stupid.
206
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,157
Well, I know it ain't for
a lack of trying, son.
207
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,519
Maybe your teacher can give you
a little extra time after school.
208
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,113
I don't think this teacher.
209
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,834
Why not?
210
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,556
She said I just ain't got
a head for numbers, Daddy.
211
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,752
She said that
don't matter, though.
212
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,673
She said I'll just work in the gas
station with you when I grow up.
213
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,230
Yeah.
214
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,511
Maybe this teacher
ain't so smart.
215
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,719
I'm gonna stop in at Murdock this morning
before I go in, see your brother.
216
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,711
Give him a kiss for us, Daddy.
You bet.
217
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,359
I don't like that place.
218
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,520
That's 'cause it's full
of weirdos and retards.
219
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,880
Kenneth Wade!
220
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,158
Don't be calling
your brother that.
221
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,594
I wasn't talking about him.
222
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,149
He just ain't as lucky as you is all.
That's right.
223
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,995
I'm sorry.
224
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,158
You be sorry
cleaning that table.
225
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,109
Yes, sir.
226
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,832
I better go. Give me
some sugar, sugar.
227
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:27,269
Bye, Daddy.
228
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,030
Let's go, girls.
Move your backsides.
229
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,870
Marilynn.
230
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,996
Marilynn! Girl,
you forgot your lunch.
231
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:44,590
You'd forget your head if it wasn't
attached to your shoulders. Go on now.
232
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,880
Hey, come on.
Help me out here.
233
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,675
Come on.
234
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,837
No. You got to
help me out here.
235
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,795
Hey, buddy.
236
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,835
Hey, buddy.
237
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,670
It's Daddy.
238
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,433
How you doing, pumpkin?
239
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,194
You have breakfast yet?
240
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,759
Pancakes this morning.
241
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,515
Oh! Hey, buddy,
that's your favorite.
242
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,475
Thank you.
243
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,837
You got eggs
and maple syrup.
244
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,917
Supposed to cut this up
ahead of time.
245
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,958
He can't swallow all this.
246
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,309
There you go.
247
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,319
There you go.
248
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,433
So you must multiply
the three on this side by two.
249
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,717
But remember,
whatever you do to the bottom,
250
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,518
you must do
to the top, right?
251
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,433
Good. So I want
you to go ahead,
252
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,557
work out the equations
that I gave you.
253
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,600
Let's do the next one.
Let's see what you come up with.
254
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,154
All right?
255
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,789
Go. Single file.
256
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,390
Over here. Come on.
257
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,194
Ann Atwater.
258
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,995
Hey, baby.
259
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,669
Mama!
Oh!
260
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,559
Thank God.
261
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,631
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
262
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,189
Okay, baby. You go wait in the car.
I'll be right there.
263
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,358
Is anybody hurt? Everyone's okay.
Just lots of smoke.
264
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,794
HOW did it start?
265
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,679
Most likely electrical,
the way they keep this place up,
266
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,990
or it could've been
set on purpose.
267
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,475
No. Klan ain't
that stupid.
268
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,035
Why do you say that?
269
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,996
When a black school burns,
then“.
270
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,155
Then what?
271
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,234
Then the black kids
got to find a new school.
272
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,870
Turns out,
he left the thing in neutral.
273
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,031
It rolls right back
into the ravine.
274
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:58,270
They didn't find
that truck for two weeks.
275
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,631
Oh, are you talking about how
small your pecker is again, Wiley?
276
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:04,349
That ain't funny,
Doreen.
277
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,512
Yeah, it ain't that kind
of funny. That's for sure.
278
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,473
You... You wait.
279
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,438
The guy's got one arm.
280
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:39,835
C.P.
281
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,274
Garland. Garland Keith,
my friend. You're out late.
282
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,680
You wanna have a seat?
No, thank you. Gentlemen.
283
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,832
Well, something must be awfully
important for you to lower yourself
284
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,159
to come to a dump like this, Garland.
Floyd, come on now.
285
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,753
No, no, no. Mmm-mmm.
286
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,350
I like the White Citizens'
Council,
287
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,717
with their parade floats and
their fancy country club meetings.
288
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,515
I'm always honored to mop up
after them, do the dirty work.
289
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,796
You'll have to excuse Mr. Kelly.
It's been a long week.
290
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,440
Sorry to say it's about
to get a bit longer.
291
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,111
There was a fire out at
East End Elementary today.
292
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,918
So what? It's a black school.
293
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,914
The parents have already filed
a petition to allow the students
294
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,072
to finish out the year
at Durham Elementary School.
295
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,599
There's an emergency
council meeting tomorrow.
296
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,959
Well... Ann Atwater?
297
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,029
I think so.
298
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,155
This ain't no small
landlord dispute, Garland.
299
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,038
We're gonna need
everybody on this one.
300
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,038
Well, that's why
I'm here, C.P.
301
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,720
Were you scared?
302
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,995
A little.
303
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,958
It's gonna be all right, okay?
304
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,231
All right, baby?
You get some rest.
305
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,758
Try to go to sleep, okay?
306
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,915
You warming up?
307
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Mmm-hmm.
308
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,834
Mama?
Mmm-hmm?
309
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,472
Where are we gonna
go to school now?
310
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,598
Don't you worry
about a thing, okay?
311
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,753
Mama gonna find you
somewhere real nice to go.
312
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,154
Say your prayers.
313
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,197
The fire was strictly limited
314
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,954
to the building's facilities
and perhaps equipment.
315
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,759
I know your first appearance
here, you can't make an opinion...
316
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,070
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to Tim's school.
317
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,195
Mmm.
318
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,958
Well, they got to
put them somewhere.
319
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,471
Ain't gonna be
in Durham Elementary.
320
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,315
Tim having enough trouble
without more distractions.
321
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,440
Mmm-hmm.
322
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,672
May have to look into one of them
private schools outside of town.
323
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,200
Oh, yeah. How we gonna pay for that?
I'm working on it.
324
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,989
Ain't nothing gonna work until you start
selling gas to the other half of Durham.
325
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,075
What's that
supposed to mean?
326
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,034
You know what it means.
327
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,836
That's not fair.
Oh, fair.
328
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,514
Hey. Come on. It's not fair.
It's a fact.
329
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,119
It's not fair 'cause
you know I can't, Mama.
330
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:24,031
How's it gonna look
if the president of the Klan
331
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:25,600
is putting gasoline
in a nigger's car?
332
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,720
How's it gonna look to my Klan folk?
Oh. Oh, I see.
333
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,957
I... I didn't know that
the Klan paid your bills.
334
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,512
I didn't think so.
Here we go.
335
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,557
You spend all that time
at Klavern hall
336
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,110
jaw-jacking about them niggers
and them commies and them Jews.
337
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,430
I don't sound like that.
Yeah, you do.
338
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:45,874
Give me some...
Ew!
339
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,439
Claiborne Ellis,
you smell like beer.
340
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,594
I'm not gonna have them kids
going to our school.
341
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,591
This emergency council meeting
was called late last night
342
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,035
after an apparent
electrical fire
343
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,710
destroyed nearly half
of East End Elementary School.
344
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,758
They've been in session
for nearly three hours now.
345
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,838
This council is facing
some difficult decisions.
346
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,070
Tonight, we've had to consider
347
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,629
how these decisions
will affect the students
348
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,075
of not one school but two.
349
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,389
We've heard testimony
from the marshal
350
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,154
that eight classrooms
and three common areas,
351
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,435
including the gymnasium,
352
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,158
were unaffected by the fire.
353
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,639
Unaffected?
Hey.
354
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,916
Have you been to the school?
She's breaking the rules.
355
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,514
No, no. Ain't nobody talking to
you, C.P., so shut your mouth.
356
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,840
Miss Atwater, you've had your time.
I've seen the school.
357
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,199
And if that marshal says that
school is habitable for children...
358
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,873
Miss Atwater, you've
had your time.
359
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,349
...then he's just lying,
or he just plain stupid!
360
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,000
Why don't you shut up?
361
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,160
Don't make no sense.
362
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,915
Shut up!
363
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,159
We will have quiet
in the chamber!
364
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,439
Now what
we talking about is important,
365
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,353
and you're gonna damn well
listen to us, Mr. Steele.
366
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,995
Miss Atwater.
367
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,750
Miss Atwater.
368
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,831
Kindly take your seat before
I have a deputy remove you.
369
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,715
Now then,
370
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,593
it is the opinion
of this council
371
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,479
that there remain
two basic questions.
372
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,639
One, is East End
a safe and habitable place
373
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,280
for its students to finish
their school year?
374
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,829
And two, would the students
of Durham Elementary
375
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,040
be unfairly burdened by the sudden
and massive influx of new students?
376
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,918
Our answer to both
of these questions
377
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,355
is yes.
378
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,798
With the limited number of
classrooms that remain at East End,
379
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,430
the students will be put
on a split-shift system.
380
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,957
One from 7:00 am. To noon,
the other from noon to 5:00.
381
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,959
We're good. Got it.
382
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,195
Miss Atwater?
383
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,399
Who the hell are you?
384
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,756
Miss Atwater,
we're from the NAACP.
385
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,470
WDNC news time, 9:00 a.m.
386
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,959
Recapping our top story,
387
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,793
the NAACP's legal action
is causing quite a stir
388
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,598
inside the county's
district court,
389
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,591
one source saying
he would not want to be
390
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,796
in Judge Les Hallford's
shoes this morning.
391
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,076
Good morning, Your Honor.
392
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,438
Is that it?
Just arrived.
393
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,990
Full and immediate integration
of all Durham public schools.
394
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,837
Get Wilbur Hobby in here.
395
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,035
Yes, sir.
396
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,313
You've passed things
down before.
397
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,232
Ah, you know
I can't do that.
398
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,959
These idiots just sent kids back
into a school that's still smoking.
399
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,432
I pass it down,
it's the same as ruling against.
400
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,433
I know. I just wanted to
make sure you knew that.
401
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,553
I asked you here for your
counsel, Wilbur, not a lecture.
402
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,789
Sorry.
403
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,679
What if you held off,
delayed your ruling?
404
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,436
Delaying the inevitable,
that's all that would be.
405
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,196
No. You delay to allow the people of
Durham to reach their own decision.
406
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,998
I'm not following, Wilbur.
407
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,114
I know a guy.
You know a guy?
408
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,679
Yes, I know a guy.
409
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,071
He runs a department at Shaw
University down in Raleigh.
410
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,118
He does this thing.
He holds charrettes.
411
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,800
Cha-what?
412
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,229
They're kind of, uh, these
official community summits
413
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,231
with people from both sides
of the problem.
414
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,836
They're called charrettes.
He's had some pretty good results.
415
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,197
Wilbur, get this guy
of yours up here.
416
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,635
Bill? Wilbur Hobby's
on the phone.
417
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,554
Wilbur Hobby.
418
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,957
Why does this phone
call worry me?
419
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,997
Well,
what a coincidence.
420
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,753
I was hoping
it would worry you.
421
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,313
How are you, Wilbur?
422
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,159
Looks like you're having
some trouble up there.
423
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,199
Well, nothing a heavy dose
of Bill Riddick can't solve.
424
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,555
Hello?
425
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,398
LOOK, Bill, I, uh...
I heard York went well.
426
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,233
York, Pennsylvania, isn't
Durham, North Carolina, Wilbur.
427
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,790
Well, all the more reason.
We need you.
428
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,034
Now, look, you're the only one
that does this.
429
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,518
Besides, it'll get you
out of the house.
430
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,876
Delores even said
you're driving her crazy.
431
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,878
We've been driving
each other crazy.
432
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,680
All right, Wilbur.
433
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,319
All right.
Great.
434
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,719
I'll see you in a few hours, Bill.
A... A few hours?
435
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,959
Hello?
436
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,751
Now, I've asked
Bill Riddick here
437
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,229
to conduct a 10-day
community charrette
438
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,351
so that the citizens of Durham
can finally come to a resolution
439
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,511
on the school
integration question.
440
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,399
Now, the city council
will abide this resolution
441
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,278
and enact the will
of the people.
442
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,672
That gutless fool.
443
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,230
"Abide"?
444
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,031
"Abide"?
It's not even defined.
445
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,316
He's making us
define it
446
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,111
What are we gonna
say to the press?
447
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,230
Nothing.
448
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,916
At least not till
we get a legal opinion.
449
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,680
And, in the meantime,
what in good Christ is a charrette?
450
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,994
Uh, yeah, we don't sell
gasoline to niggers here.
451
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,072
I'm not looking for a fill-up.
Mr. Ellis?
452
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,954
My name
is Bill Riddick.
453
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,360
Yeah?
454
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,634
Uh...
455
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,313
Wilbur Hobby
suggested I...
456
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,073
Wilbur Hobby sent you here? Yeah.
457
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,798
He said I should
come see you, yeah.
458
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,680
He said you represent a great
many people in this town.
459
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,158
He'd be right
about that.
460
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,195
Well, Mr. Ellis, I've been
asked to organize a charrette.
461
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,793
I read the newspaper.
462
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,076
Oh. Well, so then you know...
Hold on.
463
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,876
Are you here to ask me to come
to your integration meetings?
464
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,840
Well, for now,
just lunch.
465
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,796
Lunch?
Tomorrow,
466
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,757
with, uh, with me
and with Ann Atwater.
467
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,829
Come again?
468
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,559
Well, I was hoping you'd come to
lunch with me and Ann Atwater.
469
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,551
Ann Atwater?
Ann Atwater.
470
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,880
What did Wilbur Hobby
think I'd say to that?
471
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,037
Well, he thought
you would say no.
472
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,760
He'd be right about that, too.
Well, see here, Mr. Ellis...
473
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,834
You're not from around
here, uh, Mister... Riddick.
474
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,035
So I'll help you out.
475
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,634
Folks in this town,
and especially me,
476
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,757
want niggers to stay
in their own schools.
477
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,910
That's definitely one of the
options, Mr. Ellis.
478
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,560
Right, um, I'm gonna
give you my card.
479
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,273
The local number
is on the back.
480
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,679
You change your mind...
Boy, you better get on out of here.
481
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,679
Go on, git.
Like I told you.
482
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,319
Mr. Ellis, I hope
you reconsider.
483
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:31,560
This charrette is happening.
484
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,200
So, uh, if you truly
represent your people,
485
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,430
represent them.
486
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,875
Have a good day.
487
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:12,470
We know this makes
you uncomfortable, C.P.
488
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,839
But, God damn it, it's the best
thing that could have happened.
489
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,639
"Uncomfortable" isn't exactly
the word I'd use for it, Carvie.
490
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,831
C.P., what do you
think would happen
491
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,070
if a lily-white liberal was
in there instead of you?
492
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,480
Nothing good.
493
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,909
A liberal and Ann Atwater
will pass integration
494
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,150
faster than a hot knife
through butter.
495
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,874
- That's what don't make no sense.
- What don't?
496
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,156
This Riddick nigger wants
school integration, right?
497
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,470
So why me?
Why put that on himself?
498
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,437
I should've been
the last person on his list.
499
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,196
C.P., this judge...
500
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,473
Our hands may be tied.
501
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,675
But it won't matter if we
have a friend on the inside.
502
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,276
And especially if that friend is C.P.
Ellis.
503
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,237
Oh, Charlie, I...
504
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,472
He's about to hand you the
keys to school integration,
505
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,192
and you're going
to lock the door.
506
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,634
- Hey! How you doing? How your dad doing?
- Good.
507
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:18,794
How late is he?
508
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:20,755
Twenty minutes.
509
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,951
C.P. coming to have lunch
with two niggers.
510
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,233
He'd just as soon
shoot us than do that.
511
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,758
Y'all northern folks
just don't get it.
512
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,353
I'm from North Carolina, Ann.
513
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,317
Oh, yeah? Where about?
514
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,994
Hertford County.
That still north of here.
515
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,035
He's here.
516
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,075
Here he go.
517
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,476
Would you look
at that crazy white man?
518
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,197
Just pacing
back and forth.
519
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,751
I ain't waiting for that
cracker. I'm hungry.
520
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,120
Mr. Ellis? Please,
come sit down.
521
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,359
Well, uh, okay.
522
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,590
Um, thank you
both for coming.
523
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,990
Hopefully, this is
a first step...
524
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,357
Hey, I... I'm not gonna sit here one
minute longer than I have to, so...
525
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,078
Well, go on
and git, then.
526
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,516
That way, me and Bill can
have a civilized conversation.
527
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,717
Mr. Ellis,
528
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,350
um, I'm holding a steering
committee meeting here on Saturday.
529
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:04,554
And I've invited people who represent
all types of citizens in this community.
530
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,711
All types?
Only two types in this town.
531
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,952
Well, whites, black,
liberals, conservatives.
532
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,913
For a charrette
to be successful,
533
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,913
we need to bring together a
large number of diverse people.
534
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,077
The only folk
he gonna bring,
535
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,833
they're gonna be wearing
sheets and hoods.
536
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,194
Ain't that right, C.P.?
537
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:22,955
Hold On...
538
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,320
If you already have
a meeting set,
539
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,920
what the hell am I doing,
sitting here?
540
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,516
Well, you're here,
both of you,
541
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,314
because I need two co-chairs
to lead the charrette.
542
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,955
I'm gonna think
about it, you know,
543
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,671
'cause I wouldn't want your type
taking over this... What'd you call it?
544
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,797
Charade?
545
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,437
I don't know what
you're up to either.
546
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,680
I don't like it. You could use
me for my help. That's fine.
547
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,400
But I am not gonna
work with that cracker.
548
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,232
So you need to
look somewhere else.
549
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,314
This corn bread is good.
550
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:20,435
I would love it.
551
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,713
Let me help you
clear this.
552
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,354
It was delicious.
Very nice of you. Thank you.
553
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,158
You outdid yourself,
Mrs. Keith.
554
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:31,197
Oh, well, thank you.
555
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,033
Ten days is a long time
with them people, Garland.
556
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,909
It's also a long time for them to
be making decisions on integration
557
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,798
without us having a voice.
558
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,520
That's not gonna make it any
easier to sell to my people.
559
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,590
Well, you're their
president, C.P.
560
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,119
You just make
them understand.
561
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,430
Hell, it says so right there
in your Klan creed,
562
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,594
"Failure to know your enemy gives
them aid and comfort" and all that.
563
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,797
I mean, the truth is, C.P., we...
We don't know the enemy at all.
564
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,950
Do we?
565
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:25,996
All right, you're yanking
on the trigger too hard.
566
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,072
Trick is to think of it as pressing
the trigger, not pulling on it.
567
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,309
Ten-hut!
568
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,233
Y'all heed this man, now.
569
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,719
Mr. Kelly here's an expert.
570
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,679
He even knows that word for when
you breathe out before you shoot.
571
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:37,875
What's that called again?
572
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,038
Respiratory pause.
573
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:42,358
See? What'd I tell you?
574
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,558
- All right, one more, then next up.
- All right.
575
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,679
You didn't care too much for
that conversation last night.
576
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,359
Well, when it's me
and you, it's fine.
577
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,396
I ain't much for talking
in mixed company.
578
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,793
Well, we do need
people there, Floyd.
579
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,918
And Carvie asked me
personally, so...
580
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,593
Yeah, I know it, C.P.
And I'll back you up on it.
581
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,433
But, uh, be careful.
Careful of what?
582
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,193
If you wrestle with a pig...
583
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:13,749
You're gonna get muddy.
584
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,319
Meeting these benchmarks
successfully will depend entirely
585
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,394
on the dedication and enthusiasm
of this steering committee.
586
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,393
And, uh, we haven't got
much time to get organized,
587
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,552
so priority one
will be to get the word out
588
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:34,439
and to recruit as many citizens as
possible to come and participate.
589
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,116
All right, before
we go any further,
590
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,477
we need to elect
our two co-chairs.
591
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,712
I nominate Ann Atwater
592
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,595
and C.P. Ellis.
593
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,557
But he's a Klansman.
594
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,631
And we're talking
about integration.
595
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,030
Uh, Mr. Riddick, I already done
told you I won't work with that man.
596
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,952
That'd be
just fine with me.
597
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,429
Everybody know it would be
just fine with you, C.P.
598
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,193
Just hold on
a minute now, Ann.
599
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,556
I'd like to hear from C.P.
on this. Mr. Ellis.
600
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,997
Well, I'm not in the habit of interviewing
for a job that I don't really want.
601
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,196
But you're asking,
so I'll tell you.
602
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,352
Everybody talking about nigras
want this, nigras need that.
603
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,114
This whole thing started 'cause
of what nigras are demanding.
604
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,436
What about white folks?
What about what we want?
605
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,154
You already got everything you want.
No, we don't.
606
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,959
And now the niggers
in this town are trying
607
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,598
to take away
everything we got left.
608
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,834
They don't want us to play
"Dixie" at our schools.
609
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:43,919
That's our song.
610
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,758
They're angry when we fly the
Confederate flag at ball games.
611
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,038
And why should one of our boys
have to play ball under that flag?
612
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,157
That flag is our
proud Southern history.
613
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:56,629
Well, it might be your proud
Southern history, C.P.,
614
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,512
but it sure as hell
ain't ours.
615
00:42:58,600 --> 00:42:59,600
All right.
616
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:02,349
You know, integrated schools
have blacks-only assemblies,
617
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,000
blacks-only Martin Luther King
this, that.
618
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,150
That ain't my history.
619
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:07,639
You wanna talk about schools?
620
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:09,836
Let's talk about schools,
Mr. Riddick.
621
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,757
My sons don't have it
easy in school.
622
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,719
Their teachers ain't even
teaching them half the time.
623
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:18,040
And you want to throw them
together with a bunch of nigras?
624
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,236
It's only gonna
get worse for them.
625
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,954
You ask why I'm here.
To protect my boys.
626
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,389
So all the better
if she don't get in my way.
627
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,553
I'll sit with you,
Brother Ellis.
628
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,916
Howard, have you lost
your everlasting mind,
629
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,593
calling that man
your brother?
630
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,239
You're offering
to co-chair, Howard?
631
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,714
Uh, I am.
632
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,110
And that's an honest man
right there, Ann.
633
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,874
The only honest man
that's stood up today.
634
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,593
He hates me.
And he told me why.
635
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,794
But then he opened up
his heart about his sons.
636
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,311
Why is he
agreeing with me?
637
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,556
I don't know.
That means he's my brother.
638
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,600
Did that nigger
just call me "brother"?
639
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:13,309
Y'all hear that?
640
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,154
I'll tell you what you
are, Howard.
641
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,076
You one of them "big
niggers," ain't you?
642
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,992
You done went up north
and got your college degree,
643
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,596
your fancy cars,
and your fancy suits.
644
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,840
Meanwhile, we down here
on the ground, getting dirty.
645
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,752
Oh, no, no.
Wait a minute, Ann.
646
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,679
Now, the Black Solidarity Committee has
been working within this community...
647
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,035
Oh, shut up, Howard!
You're late to the fight!
648
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,434
And you have no idea what
real black folk go through.
649
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,390
You don't deserve a seat.
He don't deserve that chair. He don't.
650
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,831
Calling that man
his brother.
651
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,910
So are you saying you'll accept
now, Miss Atwater?
652
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,398
I'm going to continue to fight
for us white working men,
653
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,552
even if I have to sit in a room with
that awful Ann Atwater to do it.
654
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,637
C.P. Ellis don't scare me.
655
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:54,678
We're gonna beat school
segregation once and for all.
656
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,070
Well, she's living
in her own fantasy world.
657
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,470
Folks in this town
like things the way they are.
658
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,117
Happy birthday,
dear Larry
659
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,789
Happy birthday to you
660
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:13,839
Good morning,
Mr. Ellis.
661
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,230
Co-chair office is
just around the corner.
662
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,320
Thank you.
663
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,549
All I'm saying is our
children are way behind.
664
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,039
Almost a full year.
665
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,193
Well, just having white teachers
isn't gonna help them catch up.
666
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,993
White teachers?
667
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,559
They already got
some white teachers.
668
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,830
It ain't that.
It's about the books.
669
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,594
Newer books don't account
for a whole year.
670
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,830
Newer ain't got
nothing to do with it.
671
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,200
Baby, what's your name?
In the red shirt. What's your name?
672
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:05,953
- Miles.
- Miles.
673
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,750
What year did you
just finish, Miles?
674
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,353
My junior year.
Mmm-hmm.
675
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,511
And what year
were your books for?
676
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,720
The textbooks were
for the tenth-graders, ma'am.
677
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,033
Well, how's that
gonna work?
678
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,077
How's what gonna work, C.P.?
679
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,118
You're gonna put a bunch of
black kids who are a year behind
680
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,189
with white kids
who aren't.
681
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,873
How are you gonna
teach that class?
682
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,590
You can't.
It just ain't possible.
683
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,473
So you go ahead
and get the right books,
684
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,070
but you can't teach that class.
No way. No way.
685
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,431
Okay. So, tomorrow,
we'll break into our smaller groups
686
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,034
and begin hammering out the
different resolution points.
687
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,158
But we meet back here
each night for wrap-up.
688
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:21,312
Also, you've noticed these two
tables up here on the stage.
689
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,711
Along with Mr. Ellis
and Miss Atwater,
690
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,154
10 more of you
will be chosen
691
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,197
to fill these seats
as part of our senate.
692
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,718
That senate will vote on the resolutions
on the final night of the charrette.
693
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,910
Okay. Unless
there's anything else,
694
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,752
I think we could
all use some sleep.
695
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,629
Yes, Reverend?
696
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:43,236
Mr. Riddick, it's been
quite a tense day.
697
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:49,472
It may be wise if we have some
positive note to end each session.
698
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,593
Something to lift our spirits.
699
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,671
I think that's a good idea,
Reverend.
700
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,029
What did you have in mind?
701
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,789
Well, I notice
we have a piano over here.
702
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,077
What if we all sing gospel
music at the end of each night?
703
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,833
- Okay.
- Nigger music.
704
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,120
What did you say?
705
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,711
I believe he said
that's nigger music.
706
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,713
Gospel music don't have nothing
to do with black or white.
707
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,958
It's about God.
Praise God, but he... He's right.
708
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,839
Gospel music is
absolutely for black folk.
709
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,311
I'm a bit surprised that the reverend
would suggest something so one-sided.
710
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:22,913
I'm a little disappointed.
Okay.
711
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,633
I can appreciate that, C.P.
712
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,991
These people
would like gospel music.
713
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,640
So, uh, how would you like
to represent your people?
714
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,510
Well, I'd like to display our Klan
materials here at the charrette.
715
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,669
Klan materials?
716
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,555
Mmm-hmm.
717
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,436
It's not the same thing.
I know that.
718
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:48,520
We can't let him do it.
719
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:49,839
That stuff's full of hate.
That's all it is.
720
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,480
He gave on the gospel.
I don't give a damn what he gave on.
721
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,278
Well, he gave, so we give.
722
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,352
Bill Riddick, if that stuff shows
up here, it's gonna be a riot.
723
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,000
And you can bet your ass I'm gonna
be the one leading the charge.
724
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,350
Oh, you gonna get all
Roughhouse Annie on me now, huh?
725
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,077
Yeah, I heard tell about you.
All talking and no listening.
726
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,832
We're here trying to understand each
other for once and stop fighting.
727
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,474
I'll stop fighting when there
ain't nothing left to fight for.
728
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,313
Then you're gonna be going uphill
the rest of your life, Ann.
729
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,719
In the meantime,
I'm-a keep that man here talking
730
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,518
as long as I possibly can.
731
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,040
C.P.
732
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:27,275
C.P.
733
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,309
This, um, display
you want to bring.
734
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:33,760
We're willing to go
along with it.
735
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,759
But there'll be folks not wild
about the sight of it.
736
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,320
So, uh, you're gonna need
to provide some security,
737
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,313
someone to watch over it.
I'm not gonna be responsible for it.
738
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,199
This is my security.
739
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,518
That gun
don't belong here.
740
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,989
But I like to have it close in case
I need it to do my talking for me.
741
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,590
This here does
the talking for me.
742
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,230
I have a Bible. Oh, you do?
Have you read it?
743
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,674
Of course, I've read it.
744
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,430
Even go to church on Sundays.
Hmm.
745
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,477
Well, then you
ought to know, C.P.
746
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:07,600
Know what?
747
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,273
Same God
made you made me.
748
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,240
That's everything,
Mr. Ellis.
749
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,311
Looks good, Ben.
Real good.
750
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,152
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
751
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,310
Divided according to race.
752
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,029
Uh, six black, six white.
753
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,873
The senate members will float in
and out of different working groups,
754
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,837
observing and participating.
755
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,277
On the final night
of the charrette,
756
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,397
you will vote to either
adopt or reject
757
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,039
the resolutions
presented to you.
758
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,117
So we're
the final word?
759
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:09,713
Final word, Howard.
760
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,110
Two-thirds majority
to pass each resolution.
761
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,319
Eight votes to pass?
762
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,121
Well, then we should be able to
handpick the other four white members.
763
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,237
Well, then we might as well
go on home then.
764
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,597
C.P., that's not practical.
We need to be as fair as possible.
765
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:27,234
Now, I'm gonna have to side
with my friend here.
766
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,632
I mean, we can surely all agree
that every Negro in the building
767
00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:33,518
is gonna vote yes
on school integration.
768
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,671
That's six automatic votes,
no matter what.
769
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,831
Same's not true for
every last white person.
770
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,120
There's a bunch of liberals
sitting out there right now.
771
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,111
Look, there are four
prominent organizations
772
00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:47,516
represented
in this room right here.
773
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,796
The Klan,
The White Citizens' Council,
774
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,474
Black Solidarity Committee,
and Operation Breakthrough.
775
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,958
You each get your votes.
776
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:56,394
You want fair?
777
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,357
We'll pick eight regular
members.
778
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,239
Regular. No black power
people, no Klan.
779
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:02,469
They're excluded.
780
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,315
Agreed?
781
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,438
- None of her people?
- No.
782
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:11,954
And none of your own.
783
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:29,275
Hey!
784
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,110
What do you think
you're doing, huh?
785
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,073
Leave that alone.
786
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,800
Boys need to be reading this
instead of ripping it up.
787
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,436
The Klan is giving you
a window to look through.
788
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:48,677
You need to read this stuff
and understand it.
789
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,433
That way,
you understand them.
790
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,070
Okay? You got the upper hand.
Got it?
791
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,118
Get on out of here, Charles.
Give me that.
792
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,476
I should tell your daddy.
You know better.
793
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,637
Kids don't make
no sense. They...
794
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,474
"...professional experts from in
the community and from outside
795
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,313
"will stand by listening,
learning."
796
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,033
Ann? Ann?
What?
797
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,236
Where are you going?
I'm going home.
798
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,237
Look, I know you're upset, Ann.
You don't know nothing!
799
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,711
I told you it was a damn fool idea to
let that man bring that stuff in here.
800
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,837
Ain't no good
gonna come from it!
801
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,275
And I'll tell you something
else, Bill Riddick.
802
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,037
You're an even bigger fool if you
think you're gonna make any change
803
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,355
with this here meeting.
804
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,794
Is that right?
That's right!
805
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,630
'Cause as long as the C.P.
Ellises of the world
806
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:42,633
keep getting their way,
ain't nothing gonna change.
807
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:44,950
Yeah, you talk
about Roughhouse Annie?
808
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,554
Keep Uncle-Tomming
that cracker
809
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,916
and you're gonna
see Roughhouse Annie.
810
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,197
Go on back up north where you belong
'cause you don't know nothing.
811
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:29,469
Marion Wilson.
812
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,476
Okay.
The other bowl now.
813
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,555
Sam Watford.
814
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,117
- Is that Scooter Watford's boy?
- Yeah.
815
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,238
You won't
have a problem there.
816
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,717
You sure?
Pretty sure.
817
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,553
I remember he kept losing jobs
during them boycotts.
818
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,074
Still pretty sore about it.
819
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,315
I don't like that mustache,
tell you what.
820
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,711
All right. Earl Weeks.
821
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,153
He's... He's with us.
822
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:07,560
How do you know?
823
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,920
He's been a deacon at my
church since I was a kid.
824
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,274
He don't like nobody.
825
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,957
That's a good man.
Two for two.
826
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,954
Okay, we're gonna have an issue
with this gal, Maddy Mays.
827
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,200
The blonde
over by the window.
828
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:23,759
Yeah, she's a nurse.
829
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,513
Yeah, over at
Durham Clinic.
830
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,399
Real people person.
I think that's one to worry about.
831
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,433
Last is Lee Trombley.
832
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,716
Trombley Hardware.
833
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:34,949
Off of Route Nine.
834
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,757
What do we know?
835
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,470
I don't know about him, C.P.
Might be a problem there.
836
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,556
He took over after
his daddy passed.
837
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,755
Family man, two kids, I think.
838
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,360
And?
839
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,390
Everybody that
works for him is a nigger.
840
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:53,480
Every one.
841
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,037
And they all
thick as thieves.
842
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,716
All right, I guess it's time we
get acquainted with Lee Trombley.
843
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,515
Can I help you, sir?
844
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:28,595
Uh...
845
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:29,750
Lee around?
846
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:31,519
No, sir.
He's not here right now.
847
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,069
But I'm the manager.
Something I can help you with?
848
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:38,114
Uh, no. Um...
849
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,513
I'll come back another time.
850
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,120
Okay.
851
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,313
Any thoughts,
uh, insights?
852
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,077
You don't have to raise your
hand, Maddy.
853
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,959
I think it's nice to see
people talking for once.
854
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,236
That ain't talking.
It's yelling.
855
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,072
Well, okay, it's arguing.
856
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,391
But people are listening to one another.
They really are.
857
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:13,075
They're arguing.
I've been listening to it for days,
858
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,278
and still no one's answered how
integration's gonna help my kids.
859
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,472
Well, it sure can't hurt them.
It sure as hell can.
860
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,359
Well, I'd like to know how.
Well, for one,
861
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,796
I don't want my daughter sitting
next to a Negro boy in class.
862
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,239
I don't want her
eating next to one,
863
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,709
and I don't want her being
at a school dance with one.
864
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,110
So you care
about your daughter?
865
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,550
And you don't want
to see her get hurt.
866
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:36,675
What's your point?
867
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,993
Well, my point is,
that is what we do as parents.
868
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,235
When they're little,
we try to keep them
869
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,914
from touching the stove,
so they don't burn.
870
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,156
We teach them to take small
bites, so they don't choke.
871
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,999
We worry about their first day at
school, the first time they drive a car,
872
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:57,718
their very first job.
873
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:02,437
See, we want them to avoid
the pain that we experienced.
874
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,796
All right. All right.
875
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,315
We all gonna sit around,
hold hands, sing "Kumbaya"?
876
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,954
We see what you're doing, Howard.
And what is that, C.P.?
877
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,873
That there's no difference
between blacks and whites, right?
878
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,270
'Cause we all worry
about our kids.
879
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,073
We're all the same, right?
880
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,073
Actually, no, C.P.
881
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,160
We're not.
882
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,077
See, I left some things out.
883
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,280
I left out that
black folks have
884
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,352
a whole different menu
of pain to worry about.
885
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,352
Our kids get spit on
for no reason.
886
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:39,916
Our kids have to move on the
sidewalk to let white folks pass,
887
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:41,874
or they get beat.
888
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,719
Our kids aren't allowed
to sit where they want,
889
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,236
play where they want,
go to school where they want.
890
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:54,598
See, this is the pain
they experience every day
891
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,275
that we... We can't...
Can't spare them from.
892
01:01:59,960 --> 01:02:02,793
And that is a...
893
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,439
It's a helpless feeling.
894
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,197
A more helpless feeling
than you could ever know.
895
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,796
I fell right into that one.
Yeah.
896
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,474
Shit. You see Trombley's face?
897
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,157
Did you get anywhere
with Trombley last night?
898
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:29,275
He wasn't there.
899
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,749
They were right, though.
He got a black manager.
900
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,630
Well, where are we
gonna get him, then?
901
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,711
Right now. We're gonna
crowd him at lunch.
902
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:37,915
Mmm.
903
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,271
Okay.
Everybody, listen up.
904
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,439
We're going to be trying
something different today.
905
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,956
There are name cards at each
seat in this lunch room.
906
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,634
This will be your seat
for the rest of the charrette.
907
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,870
You may not move
your name card.
908
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,195
And you guessed it,
the person sitting next to you
909
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,112
will not be
the same color as you.
910
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:58,679
What?
And...
911
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,469
And no discussion of issues
during this hour.
912
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:03,914
Talk about something else.
913
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,238
One more week.
914
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,833
I can't do it. Mmm-mmm.
915
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,150
Mmm-mmm!
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
916
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,711
These fish sticks
is dry.
917
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:48,557
Well, hmm,
if we can't change anything else,
918
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,519
we can sure demand
better school lunches, huh?
919
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,631
We're not supposed
to talk about issues.
920
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:56,999
I guess you're right.
921
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:05,433
Howard...
922
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,557
Howard was wrong
in there, weren't he?
923
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:09,280
Wrong?
924
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:10,509
Mmm-hmm.
925
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:17,034
Well, I mean, he weren't wrong
about what black kids go through,
926
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:23,989
but he was wrong about you not
knowing what helpless is, weren't he?
927
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:28,509
What does that mean?
928
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,990
You got a boy out at
Murdock, don't you, C.P.?
929
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,360
I don't wanna talk about that.
I'm just trying...
930
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,119
Ann, don't talk
about my son.
931
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,996
Don't ever talk about my son.
Okay.
932
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,390
We're willing to go
to summer school,
933
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,630
even nights, just to catch up
with the white students.
934
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,633
Good Lord never intended for
blacks to have equal rights.
935
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,273
Daddy! What's wrong?
What's wrong, sugar?
936
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:38,360
It's Larry.
937
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:51,320
What's going on?
938
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,595
Who is this? Alvin.
He moved in Friday.
939
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:57,433
Hey, hey. Okay. Shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh.
940
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,711
Hey, pumpkin.
941
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,878
- Go! It's okay.
- Okay.
942
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,190
No monster. No monster, son.
No monster.
943
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:08,998
I got your book.
I'm gonna read you...
944
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:10,434
Shh, Shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh.
945
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,119
It's Vickie.
946
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:13,514
Okay.
Here. Read to him.
947
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,075
Come here, pumpkin. Read it to him.
I'll be right back.
948
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,879
Vickie's gonna read to you.
It's your sister, Vickie.
949
01:08:19,480 --> 01:08:20,595
Get him out.
950
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:25,794
Hey, who's in charge here?
951
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,200
Can I help you,
Mr. Ellis?
952
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,271
Is there someone else
I can talk to?
953
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:30,589
One moment.
954
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:31,680
Hey. He...
955
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,314
- Hey. I need help.
- I'll be right there.
956
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:39,834
No, sir. No, sir.
I need help.
957
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,560
My son needs help.
Step outside that door.
958
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,520
I need to get my son out of that room.
Yes, sir.
959
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:45,597
Step outside for a moment.
960
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,920
Now calm it down.
I need to get my son out of that room.
961
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,071
Your son is gonna be just fine.
He's scared.
962
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,834
He's not fine.
He needs to be moved right away.
963
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:54,239
Or that other one
needs to be moved.
964
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:55,674
My son's scared.
Look. Look.
965
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:58,832
It's important that our patients
stay in familiar surroundings
966
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,673
'cause if they're moved too
often, they get agitated...
967
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:05,196
A private room then.
Give Larry a private room, please.
968
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:06,953
We have regulations
here at Murdock.
969
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,753
I don't care
about your regulations.
970
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:13,556
Now you move him, or I will. How's that?
No, you will not. Mr. Ellis!
971
01:09:14,480 --> 01:09:16,312
Call security right now.
972
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,550
You calm yourself down.
973
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:23,795
God.
974
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,670
How much...
How much is it again?
975
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,799
A private room
is $75 more per week.
976
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,553
Now do you wanna
pay for that?
977
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,431
I got $16.
Mr. Ellis, listen to me.
978
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,271
Larry will get used to it,
all right?
979
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,240
You should've told me.
980
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,516
No one told me that boy
would be in this room.
981
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,273
It was...
No one told me.
982
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,160
It was a last minute...
You should've told me.
983
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,031
I'm trying
to tell you now.
984
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,475
His roommate was wailing
and screaming and...
985
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,312
But they wouldn't
let me move him.
986
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:43,839
I wanna take him home.
987
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,119
He's better off with us.
988
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,631
He don't belong there.
989
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,074
He ain't like them others.
990
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,030
Yes, Claiborne,
he is.
991
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,393
I'm seeing him tomorrow.
I'm sure he's fine.
992
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:05,915
You okay?
993
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,479
Yeah, I'm just tired,
you know.
994
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:11,592
I'll see you at home.
I love you.
995
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:50,718
Can I help you?
996
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,837
You can't,
but Bernadette can.
997
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:55,753
One moment.
Thank you.
998
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,511
Miss Atwater!
999
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:09,115
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
How have you been?
1000
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,840
Oh, baby, I've been good.
How about yourself?
1001
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,036
I'm fine. I'm just fine.
1002
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:15,872
Well, what can I
help you with?
1003
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,917
Where's that Larry Ellis boy?
1004
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:32,035
Bernadette.
1005
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,599
Yes, Miss Atwater?
I'm gonna need a favor.
1006
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,435
But that's not fair.
I know it's not fair, honey.
1007
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:41,559
But I went back and looked.
Not even half of them are done yet.
1008
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,278
But she never does
any of her charts.
1009
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,078
She always expects us
to do them for her.
1010
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,118
Well, you and I have to go over all
her work, or it's gonna be on us.
1011
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:58,315
Hello?
1012
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:01,195
Hello?
1013
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,398
Where's Larry?
Where's my son?
1014
01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:05,039
He's not in his room.
What happened?
1015
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,236
Nothing happened,
Miss Ellis.
1016
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:08,469
He was moved.
1017
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:17,275
It's so nice.
1018
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:21,915
Hey, baby.
1019
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:23,874
It's your mama.
1020
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,518
Hey, baby,
it's your mama.
1021
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,079
Hi. Hi.
1022
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:31,994
Let's put on some music.
1023
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:46,120
What?
1024
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,640
No, no, it's good. It's...
1025
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,520
It's just, uh...
1026
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:58,959
All right,
I'll see you at home.
1027
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,434
I want to talk to you.
Finally.
1028
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:16,479
Look. What you, uh...
1029
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,357
I didn't... I...
1030
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:25,512
I didn't ask for your help.
1031
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,677
I can take care
of my own family, okay?
1032
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,239
Okay.
Okay.
1033
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,152
Okay. It's just
what I do, C.P.
1034
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,278
Well, whatever it is you do,
don't do it for me.
1035
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:35,754
I didn't do it for you.
1036
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,350
Strike one!
Yeah, Chester, bring the heat!
1037
01:16:50,440 --> 01:16:52,590
All right, shut your hole.
That ain't helping.
1038
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:59,239
Well, don't pay him no mind, boy.
He ain't going nowhere with two outs.
1039
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:01,993
They'll hold them.
Be all right.
1040
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:16,720
I'll be right back.
1041
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:26,673
Your boy playing today?
Oh!
1042
01:17:27,480 --> 01:17:28,550
Mr. Ellis.
1043
01:17:29,480 --> 01:17:31,869
Uh, no. My nephew.
1044
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,753
You can call me C.P.
You want a beer? Oh, thanks.
1045
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:36,240
Strike!
1046
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,110
So how do you think it's going?
The charrette.
1047
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:43,760
Um...
1048
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:45,560
It's interesting.
1049
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:48,990
It's nice to hear
both sides, you know.
1050
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:50,479
Yeah. Yeah.
1051
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,191
We got some
decisions to make.
1052
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,434
Strike three!
You're out!
1053
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,476
Say, that nigger fellow?
The one that comes, uh...
1054
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,638
He runs your hardware store?
1055
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,434
Yeah. About two years now.
1056
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:09,555
His name's Emmett.
1057
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,359
And you trust him
to... To run things?
1058
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:18,992
Sorry, I... I'm just curious.
1059
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:23,631
I don't think I could trust one
of them to run my filling station.
1060
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:26,229
Other than my wife,
he's the only person I trust.
1061
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:27,920
How's that?
1062
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,072
Well, he and I, we...
1063
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:33,958
We were
in Vietnam together.
1064
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,316
Oh, you were in Vietnam?
Yeah.
1065
01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:41,319
Two tours.
Got out in '68.
1066
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:42,959
You?
1067
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:44,678
No. No, I...
1068
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:48,189
No.
1069
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:51,270
Yeah.
1070
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,311
Well, look, Mr. Ellis,
I know who you are.
1071
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:55,720
And I know what you
want from me.
1072
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,518
But I just don't...
No, no, Lee.
1073
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,750
Any man who served bravely
in this country's military
1074
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:01,951
doesn't need to hear
anything more from me.
1075
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:04,238
You vote how you want to.
1076
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:06,149
I'll respect it.
1077
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:10,749
Mr. Ellis?
1078
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,278
Emmett served
this country, too.
1079
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,150
And he was
a lot braver than me.
1080
01:19:33,480 --> 01:19:36,120
All right, folks.
For our last day,
1081
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:37,639
I thought we'd go
on a little field trip.
1082
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,200
Where to?
You got to vote Monday night.
1083
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,590
I think it's important
we get a firsthand look
1084
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,720
at what we've been talking
about the past few weeks.
1085
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,794
I know it's been a long
day, but this is the last one.
1086
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:14,469
Please be careful.
Watch your step.
1087
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,076
Ain't no better
over here. This is a mess.
1088
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,913
They got to keep the doors open
because of the smell.
1089
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,957
I imagine so.
It helps.
1090
01:20:27,480 --> 01:20:29,278
That's a lot of kids
for summer school.
1091
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,755
Uh, that ain't
summer school, C.P.
1092
01:20:32,440 --> 01:20:34,636
They still trying to finish up
from last year.
1093
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,439
Yes, because of the
split shifts after the fire,
1094
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:41,554
the students are really only getting
about three hours of schooling per day.
1095
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,756
So they're still catching up.
1096
01:20:45,480 --> 01:20:47,790
Hey, how you doing?
Did you get them shoes I sent you?
1097
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,520
Mama!
Hey.
1098
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:51,600
Oh, this your girl?
1099
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:53,949
Hi. Hey.
1100
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,792
Marilynn, this here
is, uh, Mr. Ellis.
1101
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:00,600
Oh.
1102
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:03,752
Well, I better
get to class.
1103
01:21:04,440 --> 01:21:05,440
Okay.
1104
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,400
She looked at me like I
was some kind of monster.
1105
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:18,829
What'd you expect?
1106
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:23,476
I don't know.
I'm trying to do right by us,
1107
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:24,675
make it all better.
1108
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,671
And how's this gonna
make it all better?
1109
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,118
Hell, I'm...
1110
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,350
They wanted to integrate
restaurants. So we did.
1111
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:34,319
Then came buses and
bathrooms and playgrounds.
1112
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:35,720
Look, I'm over
there right now,
1113
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,679
supporting more funding
to make their schools better.
1114
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:39,557
If they have nicer schools...
1115
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,517
...then they'll stop pushing
to integrate ours.
1116
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,671
The one thing
we have left.
1117
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,036
Then maybe
we'll all stop fighting.
1118
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:47,440
Then what you gonna do?
1119
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:50,510
What?
1120
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,149
When everybody stops fighting,
who you gonna fight?
1121
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:07,520
Okay. Coming.
1122
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:15,200
Can I help you?
1123
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:16,873
Hi, Ann. Um...
1124
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:19,951
I'm Mary Ellis.
Claiborne's wife.
1125
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:23,320
Oh.
1126
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,759
I'm sorry for just
dropping by. I, um...
1127
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:31,953
I wanted to thank you
for, um, what you did
1128
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:33,917
for our family,
for our son Larry.
1129
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:37,360
Please, come in.
1130
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:42,280
Thanks.
Go on in.
1131
01:23:46,440 --> 01:23:49,239
Hope you like sweet tea.
I do.
1132
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,839
So Larry is doing
better, huh?
1133
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:56,555
He is.
1134
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:59,231
You know,
sometimes it's hard
1135
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,074
to keep him calm.
1136
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:03,160
Mmm.
1137
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,236
Well, has, uh“.
Has Larry always been like that?
1138
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:10,915
Yeah.
1139
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,356
You know, when he was
little, it just...
1140
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,396
He started not to be
able to do things.
1141
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:24,636
Has C.P.
always been like that?
1142
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:26,358
Oh.
1143
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:27,560
Yes.
1144
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:30,390
More or less.
1145
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:36,236
You know, he used to be
a really good baseball player.
1146
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:37,639
Really? Showed a lot of promise.
1147
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:41,349
Colleges came and looked at him,
right over here, Liberty Park.
1148
01:24:42,440 --> 01:24:43,919
Where we met, actually.
1149
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,560
Came up to me.
He's so nervous.
1150
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,473
Couldn't even talk.
So handsome.
1151
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:53,040
What?
1152
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,517
Oh. C.P." handsome?
1153
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:57,675
He was.
1154
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:01,875
Okay.
1155
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:05,678
Mmm-hmm.
Oh.
1156
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:08,710
Thank you again.
1157
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:09,870
You're welcome.
1158
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:17,558
Yes?
Ann.
1159
01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:20,039
Claiborne is, uh...
1160
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:24,913
He's doing the best
he can.
1161
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,555
Goodbye, Miss Ellis.
Bye.
1162
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:53,798
Give me a minute
with C.P., would you?
1163
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,075
Sure thing, Floyd.
1164
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,551
Hey. What do
you say, Floyd?
1165
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:19,190
Got one of those?
1166
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:28,709
See the paper?
1167
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,117
Nothing I could do about that.
All part of the charrette business.
1168
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:39,479
It don't look right.
1169
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,552
It don't matter what it looks
like, Floyd. Matters what it is.
1170
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:43,640
Oh, Yeah?
1171
01:26:44,480 --> 01:26:47,757
Your wife making friends
with Ann Atwater what it is?
1172
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:50,195
What?
1173
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,677
Couple of the boys
saw them today.
1174
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,552
How am I supposed
to explain that?
1175
01:27:04,440 --> 01:27:06,113
She did something
for Larry is all.
1176
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:08,151
Mary was just
probably thanking her.
1177
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,671
Niggers is doing you
favors now, C.P.?
1178
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:12,876
Oh, stop with
the bullshit, Floyd.
1179
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:14,553
Mary's always
gone her own way.
1180
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,119
Has nothing to do with how
I do my business. Never has.
1181
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:19,998
Now you got something
to say, say it.
1182
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:23,993
Look around you, C.P.
1183
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:27,436
All these guys,
they look up to you.
1184
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:28,669
They need you.
1185
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:32,313
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm here, ain't I?
1186
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,238
Are you?
I'm doing everything I can.
1187
01:28:36,480 --> 01:28:39,598
Hey. Is Mr. Trombley in?
1188
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,990
Uh, yes, sir. He's...
Can I help you?
1189
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:43,195
Mr. Trombley.
1190
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,670
We're from Durham Fire and
Life Safety Department. Uh...
1191
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,791
We've got a random
inspection order here.
1192
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:51,389
On a Sunday?
1193
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,071
We do them
when they come in.
1194
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,197
We'll need access to your
breaker panels
1195
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:00,113
and your hazardous materials
storage area.
1196
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:01,873
Yeah, all right. Sure.
1197
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:03,678
Uh, come on back.
Right this way.
1198
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,149
So, Mr. Trombley,
it, uh, seems
1199
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:12,557
your circuit breaker panels
are not up to code.
1200
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,234
You need at least 30-inch
clearance on both sides,
1201
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,197
and you've got
a little under two feet.
1202
01:29:18,440 --> 01:29:19,919
Oh...
1203
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,999
They've been like that for 20
years, since I was a kid.
1204
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:28,039
Nevertheless, that needs to be
rectified before you can, uh, reopen.
1205
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:30,790
Reopen?
Yeah.
1206
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,110
We got to shut you down
indefinitely.
1207
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:37,919
What? Oh, no. I...
See, I can't shut down.
1208
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,389
I got a business here.
The...
1209
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,076
What are they
supposed to do?
1210
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:50,877
I'm gonna need them
boys out of here.
1211
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:52,995
Now.
1212
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,200
Like I said,
1213
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,156
if you fix things,
1214
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:04,471
you'll be open again
in no time.
1215
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:09,791
You have a nice day,
Mr. Trombley.
1216
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,072
MY, my, my.
1217
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,674
Aren't you
a pretty little thing?
1218
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:09,875
Who are you?
1219
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,393
What do you want?
1220
01:31:12,480 --> 01:31:15,279
Take it easy, Maddy.
We're just, uh,
1221
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:17,720
friends.
1222
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:20,670
Please don't.
1223
01:31:21,480 --> 01:31:22,675
Shh.
1224
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,080
It's okay.
1225
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:30,790
None of these pictures
have niggers in them.
1226
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:36,792
We heard you might
be a friend of niggers.
1227
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:39,394
But I don't see
none on this wall.
1228
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:45,555
Just to be sure, though,
we're gonna need to hear you say it.
1229
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:48,000
Say it?
1230
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:51,435
Yes.
1231
01:31:52,440 --> 01:31:53,475
Say it.
1232
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,874
That you ain't
a friend of niggers.
1233
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:03,237
I am not
a friend of niggers.
1234
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:08,760
Again.
1235
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,877
I'm not
a friend of niggers.
1236
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:22,074
Well, then.
1237
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:24,436
We must've got
some bad information.
1238
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,159
Guess there was no need
for the visit after all.
1239
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:35,039
Thanks for the beer,
Maddy.
1240
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,269
Hey.
Beer, C.P.?
1241
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:54,919
Yeah. Thanks, Doreen.
1242
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:07,195
C.P.!
1243
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,512
Hey, C.P.!
1244
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:10,795
Hey. What do you say, boys?
1245
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,315
Come on, sit down.
1246
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:15,035
Nah.
1247
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:16,440
Been a long week.
1248
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,989
Just gonna have
one beer and go.
1249
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,549
Oh, come on, C.P.
We celebrating.
1250
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:24,519
Yeah. What... What are you
celebrating, Wiley?
1251
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:28,559
We celebrating you
getting your votes, C.P.
1252
01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:32,716
Well, little early for that,
don't you think?
1253
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:34,632
But have fun.
1254
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:43,992
What do you know
about votes, Wiley?
1255
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:01,559
You shut him down?
1256
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:02,960
What are you
doing here, C.P.?
1257
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:04,559
You shut him down?
What are you talking about?
1258
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,631
Lee Trombley.
Is that what this is about?
1259
01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:09,436
You didn't have to
do that, Carvie.
1260
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:10,590
You didn't have
to do that.
1261
01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:12,796
This is not a good time
to show up, C.P.
1262
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:15,196
I got donors in there.
You haven't answered my question.
1263
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:17,556
We're just trying to
give you a leg up is all.
1264
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:19,753
Call it insurance,
whatever you want.
1265
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:21,393
You got a big vote
tomorrow.
1266
01:34:21,480 --> 01:34:23,312
That man served
ms country, Danna.
1267
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:26,119
Two tours in Vietnam.
He's a working man with a family.
1268
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:27,519
Well...
"Protect the white working man."
1269
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:29,759
Isn't that what you always said,
what we always talked about?
1270
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:34,960
C.P., sometimes,
there are necessary evils.
1271
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:38,274
Necessary evils
for the greater good.
1272
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:40,639
And it's my job to make
those kind of decisions.
1273
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:42,392
You're just gonna have
to trust me on this.
1274
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:48,518
You should get back
to your party.
1275
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:52,396
C.P.? Are we good?
1276
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,669
Hey, Floyd called.
Said they want you at Klavern.
1277
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:21,275
Klavern?
1278
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:23,349
Mmm.
1279
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,315
Something about a meeting
at 8:30 or something.
1280
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:28,995
What? You didn't know?
1281
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:31,800
Oh.
1282
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,279
You all right?
1283
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:34,955
You look tired.
1284
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:40,555
Yeah, I'm all right.
1285
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,036
You all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
1286
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,356
He's here.
1287
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:27,035
Come on up, C.P..
1288
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:40,360
Hey.
1289
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:42,035
What's going on?
1290
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:45,959
Distinguished Klansmen,
1291
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:47,879
every now and again,
1292
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:50,520
extraordinary things
occur within our walls
1293
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:52,034
that need to be addressed.
1294
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:57,113
As your state leader,
it is my job to address them.
1295
01:37:57,880 --> 01:37:59,871
In our fight
against communism,
1296
01:37:59,960 --> 01:38:02,554
against integration,
against mongrelism,
1297
01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:05,911
we turn to those among us
1298
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:10,915
who can lead us into a
pure, white future.
1299
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:15,436
We have one such man
here in North Carolina.
1300
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,153
Your Exalted Cyclops,
C.P. Ellis.
1301
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:34,152
So, in recognition
of this man's tireless effort,
1302
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:36,239
for his forethought
and vision
1303
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:39,233
in establishing
the UKA's first Youth Corps...
1304
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:42,513
I guess I'll just read this.
1305
01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:46,591
It says,
"The United Klans of America
1306
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:50,158
"hereby bestow upon
Mr. Claiborne Paul Ellis
1307
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:52,709
"the honor of being named
1308
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:57,920
"North Carolina's Exalted
Cyclops of the Year, 1971
1309
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:37,759
What do you mean,
you're not the right person?
1310
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:39,273
Baby, the vote is tonight.
1311
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:42,233
Yeah, but there's got to be somebody
else. There's nobody else, Maddy.
1312
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:43,919
You heard everything.
You've seen everything.
1313
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:45,479
No one else
can take your seat.
1314
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:47,273
What brought this on, Maddy?
1315
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:50,035
What happened?
1316
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:51,952
Nothing. I just...
1317
01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:58,989
It's nothing. Um, it's fine.
If you'll just excuse me.
1318
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:00,749
Mmm-hmm.
1319
01:40:13,440 --> 01:40:15,590
Maddy Mays
don't want to vote.
1320
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,430
Just like that, out of the blue.
1321
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:22,399
What'd you do to that girl?
Now, Ann...
1322
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:24,440
I saw the way she looked...
Don't you "Now, Ann" me.
1323
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:27,352
You coward.
1324
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:30,389
I ain't no coward.
Yeah, you a coward.
1325
01:40:30,480 --> 01:40:33,632
Couldn't do it in here.
Too many people with they own thoughts.
1326
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,360
You couldn't win in here, so you
went, and you fixed it out there.
1327
01:40:36,440 --> 01:40:38,721
I don't have to listen to this.
You're gonna listen today.
1328
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:41,791
What you
so afraid of, C.P.?
1329
01:40:42,440 --> 01:40:44,599
I ain't afraid of nothing.
Yeah, you is. You're afraid.
1330
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:46,557
You afraid you're
gonna lose control.
1331
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:49,200
You afraid you're gonna lose
what you ain't even got, C.P.!
1332
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:51,671
You're poor,
just like the rest of us!
1333
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:53,398
You ain't got nothing
except problems.
1334
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:55,278
Talking about you...
You in control.
1335
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:57,710
You ain't no more in control
than the man in the moon!
1336
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:01,115
You're a bigger coward
than I thought you was.
1337
01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:28,400
The five o'clock news hour.
1338
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:32,912
With the highly anticipated charrette
vote just a few hours away now,
1339
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:35,879
we caught up with
WDNC's Ken Meadows,
1340
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:38,031
who was with some students
1341
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:40,874
gathered outside the
charrette site earlier today.
1342
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:42,759
Do you think
it's gonna be okay?
1343
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:44,239
Well,
it might be all right.
1344
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:47,353
I think the
same thing, too.
1345
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:49,360
- CHILD 3; Uh-uh. I don't.- Why not?
1346
01:41:49,480 --> 01:41:53,314
I don't. Because, see,
our first day that I went out there
1347
01:41:53,480 --> 01:41:55,312
where we had to
scramble, you know.
1348
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:57,319
But it was okay.
1349
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:01,118
It doesn't matter what school
you go to, it's gonna be the same.
1350
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:03,157
You get your education
just the same.
1351
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,590
I'm fixing to enroll now,
and it'll be my school.
1352
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:11,359
Are you concerned for
your daughter, or is she concerned?
1353
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:12,839
Well,
I'm concerned for her,
1354
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,514
and I think she's concerned
for her education.
1355
01:42:16,440 --> 01:42:18,280
Laverne, I just
talked to your mother.
1356
01:42:18,440 --> 01:42:20,238
She said you're a little concerned.
Are you?
1357
01:42:20,440 --> 01:42:22,829
- I'm very much concerned.
- Why?
1358
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:26,836
Oh, because I wanna...
I wanna be very sure about this year,
1359
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:30,231
and I want to really know
what they're doing,
1360
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:35,391
and I think that it will work out
if everybody cooperates together
1361
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:39,269
because, I mean, this is not
the, probably, first time...
1362
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:16,559
You did great work, Ann.
No.
1363
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,277
The one thing those people came
here for, we didn't get it for them.
1364
01:44:20,480 --> 01:44:22,835
Not true. Some of them
will be delighted.
1365
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,799
You know, I never really
thought you was an Uncle Tom.
1366
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:31,035
Yes, you did.
1367
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:36,720
"Roughhouse Annie," huh?
1368
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:38,673
Don't you forget it.
1369
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,233
Welcome, welcome.
1370
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:59,991
Well, what a journey
it's been, folks.
1371
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,678
You've all shown such
dedication these past two weeks.
1372
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:07,476
And regardless of the
outcome, you should be proud.
1373
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,638
The resolution you've put
before this senate is clear.
1374
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:21,589
It is thoughtful, and,
above all, it is brave.
1375
01:45:22,440 --> 01:45:24,317
This resolution
is in three parts.
1376
01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:26,593
After I read out each one,
1377
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:29,195
I will call the senate members
up to cast their votes.
1378
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:33,476
Each part requires a
two-thirds majority to pass.
1379
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:35,353
That's eight votes.
1380
01:45:36,920 --> 01:45:38,069
Part one.
1381
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:41,316
Two students,
one black, one white,
1382
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:45,400
to be appointed every year
to the Durham school board.
1383
01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:47,671
I vote yes.
1384
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:52,355
Mr. Watford.
1385
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:55,309
I'm a no.
1386
01:45:57,480 --> 01:45:59,357
I vote yes.
1387
01:45:59,480 --> 01:46:01,790
Part one passes
with eight votes.
1388
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:06,358
Part two.
1389
01:46:06,440 --> 01:46:10,149
This calls the summer classes be
included in the school board budget,
1390
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,233
so the black students become
level with their white peers.
1391
01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:14,515
Mr. Weeks.
1392
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:18,356
I vote no.
1393
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:19,635
Mr. Cox.
1394
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:21,789
I vote yes.
1395
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:25,230
I vote yes.
1396
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:31,116
Part two passes
with eight votes.
1397
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:44,195
Part three.
1398
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,038
Public school integration.
1399
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:52,795
In summary,
1400
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,279
this calls for full
and immediate integration
1401
01:46:56,440 --> 01:46:59,353
starting in the fall semester
of this school year.
1402
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:04,080
The resolution defines full
integration by setting a race ratio
1403
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:09,076
of no less than 25%
of any race at each school.
1404
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:13,157
And further, that busing
be made available to students
1405
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:16,671
to aid in the implementation
of this ratio.
1406
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:21,793
We'll start the vote
on this side with Miss Wilson.
1407
01:47:31,480 --> 01:47:33,312
I vote yes.
1408
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:39,950
Mr. Watford?
1409
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:47,520
I vote no.
1410
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:53,399
Mr. Mose.
1411
01:47:57,800 --> 01:47:59,279
I vote yes.
1412
01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:05,469
Mr. Weeks.
1413
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,038
I vote "hell no."
1414
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:20,720
Mr. Cox?
1415
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:27,159
I vote "hell yes."
1416
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:36,829
Mr. Trombley.
1417
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:49,713
Thank you, Mr. Riddick.
1418
01:48:57,040 --> 01:48:59,793
I believe in school
integration, and I vote yes.
1419
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:06,234
It's not gonna matter.
1420
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:14,275
Reverend.
1421
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:23,151
With the good Lord as my
guide, I proudly vote yes.
1422
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:28,309
Miss Mays.
1423
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:51,510
Although I think it should be
considered in the future, I...
1424
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:57,912
I don't believe right now
is the time for integration.
1425
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:01,517
Respectfully, I vote no.
1426
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:05,436
Hey.
1427
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:36,155
Mr. Clement.
1428
01:50:41,440 --> 01:50:46,276
I am honored to have had the
chance to get to know most of you
1429
01:50:46,440 --> 01:50:48,431
these past few weeks,
1430
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:51,758
to work on these
vital issues.
1431
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:56,433
And while I fear that
my vote will be in vain,
1432
01:50:57,400 --> 01:50:58,720
I'm still gonna vote.
1433
01:50:59,960 --> 01:51:02,395
And I vote yes
on school integration.
1434
01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:09,075
Mr. Keith.
1435
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:16,595
No.
1436
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:27,189
Miss Atwater.
1437
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:56,675
Yes.
1438
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:05,952
Looks like we finally
shut her up.
1439
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:09,280
Mr. Ellis.
1440
01:52:10,480 --> 01:52:11,595
All right.
1441
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:13,389
All right.
1442
01:52:16,680 --> 01:52:17,750
All right.
1443
01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:19,835
Thank you.
1444
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:21,555
Thank you.
1445
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:25,634
I... I... I...
1446
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:28,360
Thank you.
1447
01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:33,720
Uh...
1448
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,196
I guess I'd first echo
what Mr. Clement said.
1449
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:40,191
It was good to get to know
some of you, and I...
1450
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:45,029
I know many of you will be
disappointed with our outcome here.
1451
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:47,315
I, uh...
1452
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:03,631
You know, before I go on,
1453
01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:06,837
I'd like to show
you all something.
1454
01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:11,950
This is my Klan
membership card.
1455
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:16,997
I was given this card
12 years ago.
1456
01:53:18,240 --> 01:53:20,356
It's been in my wallet
ever since.
1457
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:23,000
In fact, I cried when
they gave me this card.
1458
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:26,158
And I grew up in a house where
I was taught men don't cry.
1459
01:53:27,200 --> 01:53:28,713
But I cried anyway.
1460
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:33,073
I cried because it was the first
time in my life I didn't feel alone.
1461
01:53:36,240 --> 01:53:38,231
Sure, I was married
with a family.
1462
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:40,749
That's not the kind of alone
I'm talking about.
1463
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:43,355
As a man, you're expected
to take care of that family.
1464
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:46,717
And I was having
a hard time doing that.
1465
01:53:47,440 --> 01:53:51,115
We were struggling, so...
1466
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:54,556
There I was.
I was a part of something now,
1467
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:58,236
something much,
much bigger than me.
1468
01:53:59,960 --> 01:54:02,998
And then, when they made me
president, boy, I was over the moon.
1469
01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:06,630
Poor old C.P. Ellis,
president of something.
1470
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:09,959
Whoa.
1471
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:20,036
And it's a real brotherhood.
It is.
1472
01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:22,596
In the Klan,
you look out for one another.
1473
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:26,158
Nobody is left behind.
Everybody does for everybody else.
1474
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:28,679
In fact, it says it
right here on this card.
1475
01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:32,389
It says, "Non silba,
sed anthar,"
1476
01:54:33,640 --> 01:54:36,393
which means, "Not for
oneself, but for others."
1477
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:38,799
That's our motto.
1478
01:54:42,280 --> 01:54:43,793
But, see,
now I got a problem.
1479
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:46,155
There's a problem
1480
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:50,319
'cause there's a lot of that going
around right here in this room.
1481
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:51,640
People doing for others.
1482
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:55,560
Last two weeks have been
full of people just doing...
1483
01:54:56,640 --> 01:54:57,835
Doing for others.
1484
01:54:58,960 --> 01:55:01,236
And they're not just white people.
There's a...
1485
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:03,710
There's a lot of black folk
doing for others, too.
1486
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:06,633
But I'm the president
of the Klan.
1487
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,234
I'm supposed
to hate black folk.
1488
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:11,831
I teach people
to hate black folk.
1489
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:15,909
They're supposed
to be inferior to us.
1490
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:20,358
Now, if I don't believe that,
1491
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:23,998
then I have no business being
president of the Klan.
1492
01:55:29,600 --> 01:55:30,874
Well, I don't believe it.
1493
01:55:34,360 --> 01:55:35,759
So my problem is,
1494
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:38,791
I don't have no need
for this anymore.
1495
01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:55,753
Mr. Riddick,
I vote yes.
1496
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:56,920
Jesus!
1497
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:15,439
I just don't believe it.
1498
01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:26,269
C.P.?
1499
01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:30,590
C.P.?
1500
01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:11,510
Yeah?
1501
01:57:37,200 --> 01:57:38,349
Where's the key?
1502
01:57:38,720 --> 01:57:40,518
Where's the key?
1503
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:45,793
Call the fire department!
1504
01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:54,674
Come on.
1505
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:45,155
Thank you.
1506
01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:49,430
Next on the agenda is delivery
of the charrette resolution.
1507
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:53,112
The council recognizes
Miss Atwater.
1508
01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:24,958
Yeah. Hello?
1509
02:00:20,200 --> 02:00:21,634
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1510
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:24,915
How many?
1511
02:00:25,280 --> 02:00:28,079
Well, you lost
about 650 gallons.
1512
02:00:28,800 --> 02:00:30,552
You're lucky
the thing didn't explode.
1513
02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:32,639
Yeah, okay.
1514
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:36,795
You want to replace the loss?
Loan have a truck here tomorrow.
1515
02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:41,317
No. Let's see how
the rest of the month goes.
1516
02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:42,550
All right.
1517
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:46,400
What's this?
Would you sign both pages?
1518
02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:09,835
Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
1519
02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:12,039
Change your mind,
give us a call.
1520
02:01:34,800 --> 02:01:36,029
Mmm-hmm?
Mr. Ellis.
1521
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:39,991
If you need to
let me go, it's okay.
1522
02:01:40,680 --> 02:01:42,751
You know, until
things pick up again.
1523
02:01:44,280 --> 02:01:47,159
I appreciate that, Jeb,
but we're not there yet, okay?
1524
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:50,240
So for now, go ahead.
Take your lunch break.
1525
02:01:51,360 --> 02:01:52,953
Okay, Mr. Ellis.
1526
02:01:53,720 --> 02:01:54,790
All right.
1527
02:02:21,200 --> 02:02:24,830
I hope you didn't come here to
ask me to co-chair something else.
1528
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:27,640
Nah. I just came
to say goodbye, is all.
1529
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:30,639
Back to Raleigh, huh?
Back to Raleigh.
1530
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:40,159
What trouble
you been causing?
1531
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:42,914
Just organizing.
You know me.
1532
02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:46,075
It's what you do, right?
It's just what I do.
1533
02:02:46,480 --> 02:02:50,474
Well, I sure wish you could've been there
when we handed in our resolution. Mmm.
1534
02:02:50,840 --> 02:02:53,070
Old Carvie Oldham
didn't even show up.
1535
02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:57,474
Wish I'd seen that.
1536
02:02:58,000 --> 02:02:59,354
How are you
doing, C.P.?
1537
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:02,112
Oh, had a little
trouble here.
1538
02:03:03,240 --> 02:03:05,038
Just trying to
put it back together.
1539
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:06,599
Yeah, we heard.
1540
02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:09,154
I'm so sorry, C.P..
1541
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:12,593
It's okay,
although not sure it matters much.
1542
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:16,038
Nobody stopping to buy gas
from me these days.
1543
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:21,831
Well, maybe things
will pick up for you.
1544
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:25,313
What you smiling at?
1545
02:03:57,320 --> 02:03:59,391
That's just
what I do, C.P.
1546
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:02,070
You know that.
That's just what I do.
1547
02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:22,078
Hey, Jeb.
We got customers.
1548
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:28,112
Gas?
1549
02:04:29,320 --> 02:04:30,799
All right, sir.
Gas?
1550
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:32,394
You want gas?
1551
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:34,358
- Yeah, no problem.
- All right.
1552
02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:56,590
She can upset the world with
her mouth if she wants to.
1553
02:04:56,800 --> 02:04:59,633
But everywhere I go,
every time I pick up a newspaper,
1554
02:04:59,800 --> 02:05:02,918
Ann Atwater's been before the city
council, the county commission,
1555
02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:05,310
or she was at some
shopping center boycotting,
1556
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:07,198
or she was downtown
at Woolworths.
1557
02:05:07,840 --> 02:05:09,751
And he was woofing
and going on,
1558
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:11,751
and the place
was packed with Klansmen.
1559
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:15,590
This particular night, C.P.
was up raging and ranting.
1560
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:18,071
That's when I wanted
to cut his head off.
1561
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:20,198
And after
that first meeting,
1562
02:05:20,360 --> 02:05:22,829
I actually went home saying,
"This is crazy.
1563
02:05:23,080 --> 02:05:26,835
"This is absolutely crazy.
I don't think I wanna do this.
1564
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:30,032
"I mean, I can make a
living easier than this."
1565
02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:39,993
The story was picked up
in The Washington Post.
1566
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:43,315
"Black man
calls Klansman 'brother."'
1567
02:05:43,880 --> 02:05:48,033
And, of course, my father, when he
read the story in The Washington Post,
1568
02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:50,952
he thought I had
lost my mind.
1569
02:05:58,680 --> 02:06:04,358
In becoming my friend,
C.P. has lost a lot.
1570
02:06:04,680 --> 02:06:08,071
Look, you do not make those changes
without having to pay for them.
1571
02:06:08,720 --> 02:06:11,189
I mean, I know
damn well, you know.
1572
02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:13,158
You have to pay for it
eventually.
1573
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:16,394
We bonded,
and we are still bonding
1574
02:06:16,480 --> 02:06:18,153
until I get mad
with him at times.
1575
02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:22,029
But we've made it through these
years, together 30 years,
1576
02:06:22,200 --> 02:06:23,838
and we're still friends.
1577
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:50,314
'Cause there are C.P. Ellises and Ann
Atwaters in almost every community.
1578
02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:53,117
They just need
to be brought together
1579
02:06:53,520 --> 02:06:57,229
and experience what we experienced
in Durham with that charrette.
1579
02:06:58,305 --> 02:07:04,200
