00:15:59,275 because we're not going into those bathrooms." 332 00:15:59,379 --> 00:16:03,413 So, one of the ways that people protested segregation 333 00:16:03,517 --> 00:16:05,275 was by not

00:16:26,827 --> 00:16:29,931 that there would be an effort to take all of them out. 340 00:16:30,034 --> 00:16:32,620 Sybil Morial: Dutch got death threats, 341 00:16:32,724 --> 00:16:37,137 and that was the beginning of the scary part of our lives. 342 00:16:37,862 --> 00:16:39,517 Marc Morial: They took a precaution. 343 00:16:39,620 --> 00:16:42,655 When my father would come home, 344 00:16:42,758 --> 00:16:44,068 he would blow the horn. 345 00:16:45,206 --> 00:16:47,000 My mother would come and she would look around 346 00:16:47,103 --> 00:16:48,689 to see if anyone was there, 347 00:16:49,172 --> 00:16:52,827 and when the coast was clear, she'd blink the light. 348 00:16:52,931 --> 00:16:56,344 And that was the signal for my father to come inside. 349 00:16:56,448 --> 00:16:58,551 Sybil Morial: Even with these forces against us, 350 00:16:58,655 --> 00:17:01,310 Dutch won a seat in the legislature. 351 00:17:01,413 --> 00:17:04,103 [jazz music playing] 352

Baton Rouge 355 00:17:13,310 --> 00:17:16,172 and sit there with his father in the legislature. 356 00:17:16,275 --> 00:17:20,275 And Dutch would let him push the button for a "yes" or "no" vote. 357 00:17:21,964 --> 00:17:24,034 He learned from the master, 358 00:17:24,137 --> 00:17:26,689 he learned at the kitchen table. 359 00:17:27,550 --> 00:17:29,586 He just loved it. 360 00:17:30,172 -->
