<i>The only thing
I ever knew was cotton.</i>

3
00:01:33,933 --> 00:01:35,226
<i>It was hard work.</i>

4
00:01:40,064 --> 00:01:44,652
Now, you know cotton is ready
when the bud splits,

5
00:01:44,819 --> 00:01:46,904
and the boll is star-shaped,

6
00:01:47,071 --> 00:01:49,740
like a big 0l' star in the sky.

7
00:01:50,658 --> 00:01:52,326
Or like your big 0l' head.

8
00:01:52,493 --> 00:01:54,370
Hold on, is that some cotton?

9
00:01:54,537 --> 00:01:56,455
Is that cotton?

10
00:01:57,582 --> 00:01:58,666
<i>But I didn't mind,</i>

11
00:01:58,833 --> 00:02:01,210
<i>'cause I got to spend all day
working with my daddy.</i>

12
00:02:01,377 --> 00:02:04,380
- Hurry, take this picture.
- Take a picture of y'all.

13
00:02:04,547 --> 00:02:06,632
Why don't everybody smile?

14
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:11,846
Teeth.

15
00:02:16,267 --> 00:02:19,353
Hattie, come on,
I need your help in the shed.

16
00:02:20,938 --> 00:02:22,315
Come on.

17
00:02:31,115 --> 00:02:34,327
- Pa... where he taking Ma?
- Get back to work.

18
00:02:36,662 --> 00:02:38,623
Cecil, come back here, boy.

19
00:02:40,666 --> 00:02:41,876
Mama!

20
00:02:42,043 --> 00:02:43,377
Come here.

21
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,254
Look at me, boy.

22
00:02:45,421 --> 00:02:47,506
Don't you lose your temper
with that man.

23
00:02:47,673 --> 00:02:50,885
This his world.
We just living in it.

24
00:02:51,052 --> 00:02:52,386
You hear me?

25
00:02:52,553 --> 00:02:54,347
Now, get on back to work.

26
00:03:26,420 --> 00:03:28,673
Pa, what you gonna do?

You get back to work.

Hey, you. Get some of the hands

Hurry UP!

35
00:04:33,154 --> 00:04:35,948
Stop crying-

36
00:04:38,659 --> 00:04:41,203
I'm gonna have you
in the house now.

37
00:04:45,374 --> 00:04:50,004
I'm gonna teach you
how to be a house nigger.

38
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,849
- He's coming.
- Yes'm.

39
00:05:02,016 --> 00:05:04,101
And quiet when you're serving.

40
00:05:04,268 --> 00:05:07,146
I don't even want
to hear you breathe.

41
00:05:07,313 --> 00:05:08,314
Yes, ma'am.

42
00:05:08,481 --> 00:05:10,816
<i>The room should feel
empty when you're in it.</i>

43
00:05:17,573 --> 00:05:21,952
<i>It was much nicer working
in the house than in the field.</i>

44
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:25,873
Crazy nigger, from the left.

45
00:05:30,836 --> 00:05:33,464
Give me more.

46
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:43,349
Hmm.

47
00:06:02,117 --> 00:06:06,956
<i>When I got older, I knew
I had to go before he killed me, too.</i>

48
00:06:12,753 --> 00:06:15,214
<i>Part of me was scared to leave.</i>

49
00:06:15,798 --> 00:06:18,133
<i>It was the only world I ever knew.</i>

50
00:06:28,102 --> 00:06:30,104
Ma, I took Pa's watch.

51
00:06:36,610 --> 00:06:37,987
Ma?

52
00:06:40,531 --> 00:06:43,784
Ma, I'm leaving.

53
00:06:43,951 --> 00:06:47,872
<i>My mama never
spoke much after that.</i>

54
00:06:48,038 --> 00:06:49,999
<i>I knew she'd miss me,</i>

55
00:06:50,165 --> 00:06:54,420
<i>but I also knew she wanted me
to leave that place.</i>

56
00:07:02,803 --> 00:07:06,473
<i>And even though
Miss Annabeth never said it,</i>

57
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,184
<i>I knew she'd miss me, too.</i>

58
00:07:23,115 --> 00:07:26,785
<i>I don't think God meant
for people to not have a family.</i>

59
00:07:34,835 --> 00:07:39,089
<i>Outside the cotton fields was even worse
than I thought it would be.</i>

60
00:07:41,216 --> 00:07:45,763
<i>No one would give me a job
nor food nor a place to sleep.</i>

61
00:07:54,188 --> 00:07:57,191
<i>Any white man could kill
any of us at any time</i>

62
00:07:57,358 --> 00:08:00,402
<i>and not be punished for it.</i>

63
00:08:00,569 --> 00:08:03,197
<i>The law wasn't on our side.</i>

64
00:08:06,325 --> 00:08:08,577
<i>The law was against us.</i>

65
00:08:15,668 --> 00:08:18,379
<i>I was hungry all the time.</i>

66
00:08:46,699 --> 00:08:49,284
You know what can happen
to you, son?

67
00:08:54,289 --> 00:08:56,291
Get up.

68
00:09:03,090 --> 00:09:05,217
I said, get up.

69
00:09:07,886 --> 00:09:12,933
I'm gonna have to lie
to the boss man about that window.

70
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:16,186
The good Lord say
we ain't supposed to lie.

71
00:09:17,354 --> 00:09:18,772
Sorry, sir.

72
00:09:20,149 --> 00:09:22,192
Where's your ma and your pa?

73
00:09:22,359 --> 00:09:25,654
My ma crazy in the head,
and my pa got killed.

74
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:32,036
I'll make you
some ham sandwiches

75
00:09:32,202 --> 00:09:34,413
and send you on your way.

76
00:09:34,580 --> 00:09:36,290
The boss will be here
in a minute.

77
00:09:37,041 --> 00:09:39,877
Sunday's our busiest morning.

78
00:09:41,128 --> 00:09:44,840
You looking for some help?
I know how to serve.

79
00:09:45,883 --> 00:09:49,511
You done broke our window,
you done stole our food,

80
00:09:49,678 --> 00:09:51,305
and now you asking for a job?

81
00:09:51,472 --> 00:09:54,266
Back in Macon,
I'm a house nigger, a good one.

82
00:09:58,020 --> 00:10:00,898
Don't you ever use that word, son.

83
00:10:01,065 --> 00:10:03,275
That's the white man's word.

84
00:10:03,442 --> 00:10:05,611
It's filled With hate.

85
00:10:05,778 --> 00:10:08,363
Didn't your father
ever teach you any better?

86
00:10:13,660 --> 00:10:16,288
- Slow down.
- Yes, sir.

87
00:10:17,081 --> 00:10:18,373
You got to look through their eyes.

88
00:10:20,459 --> 00:10:22,503
See what it is they want.

89
00:10:22,669 --> 00:10:24,254
- Got it?
- Strokes.

90
00:10:24,421 --> 00:10:26,799
- Yeah, I got it.
- Here.

91
00:10:31,678 --> 00:10:34,890
See what it is they need.

92
00:10:36,225 --> 00:10:38,268
Right this way.

93
00:10:38,894 --> 00:10:40,395
Anticipate.

94
00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:51,990
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, ma'am.

95
00:10:54,076 --> 00:10:57,121
Bring a smile to the eyes...

96
00:10:57,287 --> 00:10:58,914
<i>...of your principal.</i>

97
00:11:06,130 --> 00:11:08,882
Perfect. Perfect.

98
00:11:12,302 --> 00:11:13,971
Don't forget to save me them chitlins.

99
00:11:14,138 --> 00:11:17,057
- Why you like chitlins so much?
- 'Cause they're good eating.

100
00:11:17,224 --> 00:11:22,855
The manager of Excelsior, in DC,
he came by yesterday.

101
00:11:23,647 --> 00:11:25,315
He offered me a job as a butler.

102
00:11:25,482 --> 00:11:28,443
He must be paying you
top dollar, huh, boss?

103
00:11:29,778 --> 00:11:31,363
Yeah.

104
00:11:32,698 --> 00:11:35,450
I was thinking about taking it,
but I don't know.

105
00:11:35,617 --> 00:11:37,578
I'm too old to be leaving
North Carolina.

106
00:11:39,037 --> 00:11:41,665
I'm just fine right here.

107
00:11:42,666 --> 00:11:45,586
I told him to hire you.

108
00:11:45,752 --> 00:11:48,505
I'm just now finding my way
around this hotel.

109
00:11:48,672 --> 00:11:50,299
Ain't ready for all them
highfalutin white people,

110
00:11:50,465 --> 00:11:52,050
all their fancy words.

111
00:11:52,217 --> 00:11:56,555
ours,

112
00:11:56,722 --> 00:11:59,725
and the ones that we got
to show the white folks.

113
00:11:59,892 --> 00:12:03,061
Now, to get up in the world,

114
00:12:03,228 --> 00:12:06,607
you have to make
them feel nonthreatened.

115
00:12:07,733 --> 00:12:10,986
Use that, them fancy words
that I've taught you.

116
00:12:13,739 --> 00:12:18,785
White folks up north,
they like some uppity coloreds.

117
00:12:20,913 --> 00:12:22,831
Yeah.

118
00:12:23,707 --> 00:12:27,961
<i>I took that job
up in Washington, DC.</i>

119
00:12:28,128 --> 00:12:32,841
<i>It was the most beautiful hotel
I'd ever seen.</i>

120
00:12:38,764 --> 00:12:40,766
I hope it wasn't
too presumptuous of me

121
00:12:40,933 --> 00:12:43,352
to have prepared a few spirits

122
00:12:43,518 --> 00:12:45,896
after your long journey here
from Buffalo.

123
00:12:47,522 --> 00:12:51,526
The best decision that court ever
made was to slow this whole mess down.

124
00:12:51,693 --> 00:12:56,114
Nigger boys in school with white girls.
Who ever heard of such a thing?

125
00:12:56,281 --> 00:12:58,659
Next thing you know,
they'd be fornicating.

126
00:12:59,493 --> 00:13:04,790
Gentlemen, this here is different.
We could start another Civil War.

127
00:13:04,957 --> 00:13:09,294
Cecil, what do you think about niggers
going to school with white children?

128
00:13:09,461 --> 00:13:12,506
To be honest with you,
Mr. Jenkins,

129
00:13:12,673 --> 00:13:15,050
I tend to not be too concerned

130
00:13:15,217 --> 00:13:18,470
with American or European politics.

131
00:13:18,637 --> 00:13:21,390
Nor should you, Cecil.
They're all criminals.

132
00:13:21,556 --> 00:13:24,226
Earl Warren should be shot
and hanged.

133
00:13:24,393 --> 00:13:29,147
That dumb son-of-a-bitch judge
is trying to integrate our schools.

134
00:13:29,314 --> 00:13:34,820
I think Judge Warren is going to find
that quite challenging.

135
00:13:34,987 --> 00:13:37,447
Damn right, Cecil. Damn right.

136
00:13:37,614 --> 00:13:43,036
<i>Never in my life did I dream
I'd work in a place as fancy as this.</i>

137
00:13:44,579 --> 00:13:47,374
<i>I never dreamed my life
could be so good.</i>

138
00:13:56,216 --> 00:14:00,053
<i>Gloria and I met working
at the Excelsior.</i>

139
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:02,431
<i>She was a maid at the hotel,</i>

140
00:14:02,597 --> 00:14:05,309
<i>but now her only job
was raising our two boys.</i>

141
00:14:08,895 --> 00:14:12,065
<i>I made sure that they
never laid eyes on a cotton field.</i>

142
00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:18,947
- I got to pee.
- Not today. Don't try that.

143
00:14:19,114 --> 00:14:21,950
- Finish that homework.
- Where Louis at?

144
00:14:22,117 --> 00:14:24,745
- He's taking the trash out.
- Working late again?

145
00:14:24,911 --> 00:14:27,831
- How was your shift?
- Beats working for a living.

146
00:14:29,249 --> 00:14:31,293
I miss you at night, honey.

147
00:14:35,088 --> 00:14:38,091
Didn't you say you got to pee?
Go on, then.

148
00:14:38,258 --> 00:14:40,802
Wash your hands when you come
out of that bathroom, boy.

149
00:14:43,055 --> 00:14:45,307
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

150
00:14:45,474 --> 00:14:46,683
Good morning, sir.

151
00:14:46,850 --> 00:14:50,437
Mm-hm.

152
00:14:51,563 --> 00:14:54,733
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, Louis.

153
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:57,694
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

154
00:14:57,861 --> 00:15:01,031
- Good.
- That woman whose son got killed,

155
00:15:01,198 --> 00:15:04,701
she's around doing speeches now.
What's her name, honey?

156
00:15:04,868 --> 00:15:07,079
- Mamie Till.
- Mamie...

157
00:15:07,245 --> 00:15:09,581
Mamie Till. Mm.

158
00:15:09,748 --> 00:15:12,834
I remember that story just
like it was yesterday,

159
00:15:13,001 --> 00:15:15,337
even though it was three years ago.

160
00:15:15,504 --> 00:15:18,757
It was a dis-damn-grace
what they did to that boy.

161
00:15:18,924 --> 00:15:20,884
Just for looking at a white woman.

162
00:15:21,051 --> 00:15:23,470
Beat him up,

163
00:15:23,637 --> 00:15:27,599
threw his body in the river,
killed him.

164
00:15:27,766 --> 00:15:30,602
He wasn't no older than Louis.
He was 14 at the time.

165
00:15:30,769 --> 00:15:33,605
- Crazy white folks down South.
- Thanks, Ma.

166
00:15:33,772 --> 00:15:35,774
At least we got it
a little better in DC, huh?

167
00:15:35,941 --> 00:15:38,360
Still treating us bad, too.

168
00:15:38,527 --> 00:15:40,862
Get on down here, Charlie!
Wash your hands.

169
00:15:41,029 --> 00:15:42,781
Louis said we should stop
taking the white man's shit.

170
00:15:42,948 --> 00:15:44,074
- Hey.
- Shut up.

171
00:15:44,241 --> 00:15:45,867
- Watch your mouth.
- Watch your mouth.

172
00:15:46,034 --> 00:15:49,329
Hello, Gaines' residence.

173
00:15:50,622 --> 00:15:52,541
Uh, yeah. Hold on, Mr. Kidgan.

174
00:15:53,667 --> 00:15:56,670
- It's the boss man, Dad.
- What's he calling for?

175
00:15:56,837 --> 00:16:01,383
<i>When the white man call,
I always assume the worst.</i>

176
00:16:01,550 --> 00:16:02,968
Yes, sir?

177
00:16:03,135 --> 00:16:04,886
<i>I would have put money on it</i>

178
00:16:05,053 --> 00:16:08,306
<i>that I was getting laid off
or something that day.</i>

179
00:16:35,417 --> 00:16:37,794
- Would you follow me, please?
- Yes, sir.

180
00:16:46,094 --> 00:16:47,554
I'm Cecil Gaines.

181
00:16:47,721 --> 00:16:49,514
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- You, as well.

182
00:16:49,681 --> 00:16:51,600
Have a seat.

183
00:17:06,031 --> 00:17:07,491
Are you political, Mr. Gaines?

184
00:17:07,657 --> 00:17:09,784
- No, sir.
- Good.

185
00:17:09,951 --> 00:17:15,207
We have no tolerance
for politics at the White House.

186
00:17:16,333 --> 00:17:18,293
- How'd you find me?
- I didn't.

187
00:17:18,460 --> 00:17:21,338
You served R.D. Warner
at the Excelsior Hotel.

188
00:17:21,505 --> 00:17:24,007
He oversees operations
for the entire White House.

189
00:17:24,174 --> 00:17:27,177
- You made quite an impression.
- I don't recall.

190
00:17:27,344 --> 00:17:31,723
Mr. Warner and myself make note
of potential staff around town.

191
00:17:31,890 --> 00:17:33,808
Butler positions rarely open,

192
00:17:33,975 --> 00:17:35,602
as most stay on for 3O years or more.

193
00:17:35,769 --> 00:17:38,313
I know I was quite surprised
when I got the call.

194
00:17:43,652 --> 00:17:45,904
It was a surprise
for me, as well.

195
00:17:46,071 --> 00:17:50,325
As the White House maTtre d',
I normally hire the butlers.

196
00:17:52,953 --> 00:17:55,372
Forgive me for saying this,
Mr. Fallows.

197
00:17:55,539 --> 00:17:58,291
I certainly wouldn't want to
be hired under circumstances

198
00:17:58,458 --> 00:18:01,169
that would make you
feel uncomfortable.

199
00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:04,047
Oh, really?

200
00:18:04,214 --> 00:18:06,633
You need butlers
that you've handpicked,

201
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,553
men to your liking
that will fulfill your vision

202
00:18:09,719 --> 00:18:11,680
of a proper White House staff.

203
00:18:13,598 --> 00:18:15,267
Hmm.

204
00:18:29,739 --> 00:18:32,867
Is that... Louis XIII?

205
00:18:33,952 --> 00:18:35,704
These decanters are replicas

206
00:18:35,870 --> 00:18:42,252
of metal flasks that were found
on the battlefield in Jarnac.

207
00:18:42,419 --> 00:18:44,337
Correct?

208
00:18:44,504 --> 00:18:46,548
The Italians, they
know their wines,

209
00:18:46,715 --> 00:18:50,468
and the Irish, they certainly know
how to make a great whiskey.

210
00:18:50,635 --> 00:18:54,764
But I believe the French
have a distinct advantage

211
00:18:54,931 --> 00:18:57,726
when it comes to Cognac.

212
00:18:59,853 --> 00:19:01,354
<i>(Test vrai?</i>

213
00:19:04,065 --> 00:19:06,693
Yeah, you'll make
a good house nigger.

214
00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:11,698
Would you care
for a demitasse?

215
00:19:16,536 --> 00:19:18,663
Sometimes it just be
me and Faye up in here.

216
00:19:18,830 --> 00:19:21,625
Me, Faye
and a little scotch.

217
00:19:21,791 --> 00:19:24,502
Have a good time.

218
00:19:28,465 --> 00:19:30,050
That's how you do it.

219
00:19:30,216 --> 00:19:31,760
You know how to throw
a bash, girl.

220
00:19:31,926 --> 00:19:33,803
What did you do
to this potato salad?

221
00:19:33,970 --> 00:19:36,056
I'll tell you what I did.
I put some dill in it,

222
00:19:36,222 --> 00:19:40,143
because I read in Woman's Day,
where pickles drown out the flavor

223
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:42,062
and dill bring up the flavor.

224
00:19:42,228 --> 00:19:45,565
- That's what you tasting right now.
- OK. Yeah.

225
00:19:45,732 --> 00:19:48,318
- I like it.
- Make a difference, don't it?

226
00:19:48,485 --> 00:19:49,778
It really does.

227
00:19:49,944 --> 00:19:52,405
Girl, you must be so proud of Cecil.

228
00:19:52,572 --> 00:19:55,158
You know he got that job hisself.
The White House called him,

229
00:19:55,325 --> 00:19:57,619
- he didn't call the White House.
- He's a good man.

230
00:19:57,786 --> 00:20:00,121
- You got a good man.
- She's fun, man!

231
00:20:00,288 --> 00:20:03,124
Not like this one right here.
OI' sourpuss.

232
00:20:03,291 --> 00:20:06,628
- You still mad at me?
- I got reason.

233
00:20:06,795 --> 00:20:10,048
No, you don't. I told you,
I went down to the numbers spot,

234
00:20:10,215 --> 00:20:12,342
played my little numbers,
got me some barbecue,

235
00:20:12,509 --> 00:20:15,428
and then I went down...
I didn't even get nothing to drink!

236
00:20:15,595 --> 00:20:19,974
I am so... I'm so sick of these
numbers spot stories, Howard.

237
00:20:20,141 --> 00:20:22,477
How you expect me to believe you
was down at the numbers spot?

238
00:20:22,644 --> 00:20:24,354
Whether you believe it
or not don't mean it ain't true.

239
00:20:24,521 --> 00:20:26,398
- Come on, stop this mess.
- You want to do this right now?

240
00:20:26,564 --> 00:20:28,149
Come on, y'all.
Come on, come on, come on.

241
00:20:28,316 --> 00:20:30,235
You don't believe it, you don't
have to believe it, but...

242
00:20:30,402 --> 00:20:31,611
- Come on, y'all.
- Such a shuckster.

243
00:20:31,778 --> 00:20:33,488
- You really want to do this right now?
- Stop this right now.

244
00:20:33,655 --> 00:20:35,448
You need to pick on
somebody your own size.

245
00:20:35,615 --> 00:20:38,034
We are here to celebrate,
so y'all could be nice just one time.

246
00:20:38,201 --> 00:20:40,829
You heard the lady.
Come on, get over here, let's celebrate!

247
00:20:40,995 --> 00:20:42,205
Celebrate.

248
00:20:42,372 --> 00:20:44,541
That's why I was out,
trying to make you happy.

249
00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:47,794
- Y'all need to get a room.
- What? What?

250
00:20:47,961 --> 00:20:50,088
Ain't that the truth?
Or something.

251
00:20:50,255 --> 00:20:52,716
He drives me crazy. He just... Ugh!

252
00:20:53,675 --> 00:20:56,428
You ain't, uh...
You want to come to the room with us?

253
00:20:56,594 --> 00:20:58,388
No.

254
00:20:58,555 --> 00:21:01,641
- Hey, where the boys at?
- They upstairs in the back room.

255
00:21:01,808 --> 00:21:04,769
Boys! Get on down here!
I need to see your face now!

256
00:21:04,936 --> 00:21:07,397
- What y'all doing up there?
- Yes, congratulations.

257
00:21:07,564 --> 00:21:09,399
Honey, when you gonna take me
to the White House?

258
00:21:09,566 --> 00:21:12,152
You want to go
to the White House, baby?

259
00:21:12,318 --> 00:21:14,320
You know I want to go
to the White House.

260
00:21:14,487 --> 00:21:16,030
When you want to go?

261
00:21:16,197 --> 00:21:18,366
- Don't play with me now...
- When you want to go?

262
00:21:18,533 --> 00:21:20,618
The White House,
now that's a big step up.

263
00:21:20,785 --> 00:21:22,579
- Ooh!
- Yeah, it's exciting.

264
00:21:22,746 --> 00:21:26,499
Girl, you up in that house now!
I want to hear all the stories.

265
00:21:26,666 --> 00:21:28,793
I don't know how many stories
you gonna hear,

266
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,629
'cause they done swore him
to some kind of secret code,

267
00:21:31,796 --> 00:21:35,341
- and he can't tell me nothing.
- No. Girl, you give it to him right.

268
00:21:35,508 --> 00:21:38,845
- Mm-hm! He'll tell you everything.
- That's the key right there.

269
00:21:39,012 --> 00:21:40,597
You listening?

270
00:21:40,764 --> 00:21:42,974
- Did you hear her?
- Who you been giving it to?

271
00:21:43,141 --> 00:21:45,643
Well, if you was at home,
I could be giving it to you.

272
00:21:45,810 --> 00:21:47,145
I don't know
what you talking about.

273
00:21:47,312 --> 00:21:50,440
Boys, y'all better bring
y'all little narrow butts down here!

274
00:21:50,607 --> 00:21:52,776
- Here they come.
- Called y'all 19 times.

275
00:21:52,942 --> 00:21:55,028
Boys, stop running through this house.
You know better than that.

276
00:21:55,195 --> 00:21:59,991
Elroy! Get over here.
Come here.

277
00:22:01,201 --> 00:22:03,703
Give me some money.

278
00:22:03,870 --> 00:22:08,124
Nah. Tell them... Tell them what
you gonna be when you grow up.

279
00:22:08,291 --> 00:22:11,419
I want to work at the White
House just like Mr. Gaines.

280
00:22:11,586 --> 00:22:13,379
- Ah, that's my boy.
- Right there.

281
00:22:13,546 --> 00:22:14,923
All right, man.

282
00:22:15,089 --> 00:22:17,550
Louis! What you gonna be
when you grow up?

283
00:22:17,717 --> 00:22:19,344
You gonna work at
the White House like your daddy?

284
00:22:21,596 --> 00:22:24,682
- I don't know.
- I'll tell you one thing.

285
00:22:24,849 --> 00:22:27,519
I knew exactly what I wanted
to be when I was 13.

286
00:22:27,685 --> 00:22:30,271
Yeah, a number runner.

287
00:22:36,611 --> 00:22:38,696
I'm Cecil Gaines.
I'm the new butler.

288
00:22:40,031 --> 00:22:41,032
Yes, sir.

289
00:22:41,199 --> 00:22:43,409
<i>There are 16 full-time maids.</i>

290
00:22:43,576 --> 00:22:46,287
<i>We have six butlers,
four carpenters, two painters,</i>

291
00:22:46,454 --> 00:22:48,873
<i>seven electricians,
three dishwashers, three doormen,</i>

292
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,168
<i>a full kitchen staff, including pastry
chef and three full-time calligraphers.</i>

293
00:22:52,335 --> 00:22:55,171
Two painters, seven
electricians, nine engineers...

294
00:22:55,338 --> 00:22:57,507
Here comes Warner.

295
00:22:57,674 --> 00:23:01,636
Uh, Mr. Warner, wanted to thank you
for the opportunity

296
00:23:01,803 --> 00:23:03,513
to work in the White House...

297
00:23:09,853 --> 00:23:12,105
Come on. Here we go.

298
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,652
Ma'am, I'm Cecil Gaines.
I'll be working with you here.

299
00:23:17,819 --> 00:23:19,779
Mr. Gaines,
please don't do that.

300
00:23:19,946 --> 00:23:21,781
- Come on.
- Yes, sir.

301
00:23:22,657 --> 00:23:25,368
Now, when lifting a plate,
never scrape the bottom.

302
00:23:25,535 --> 00:23:28,788
Never listen
or react to conversation.

303
00:23:28,955 --> 00:23:32,500
- The room should feel as...
- Empty when I'm in it.

304
00:23:34,627 --> 00:23:36,296
So then she says...

305
00:23:38,214 --> 00:23:41,092
Then she says, "Stick..."

306
00:23:41,259 --> 00:23:43,136
"CK-"

307
00:23:43,303 --> 00:23:45,513
Then she starts
screaming and yells,

308
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,142
"Stick your whole hand in!"
So I put my whole hand in.

309
00:23:49,309 --> 00:23:51,603
Then she yells out,
"Put both hands in!"

310
00:23:51,769 --> 00:23:54,522
"OK!"

311
00:23:54,689 --> 00:23:56,482
Then she screams,
"Now clap!"

312
00:23:56,649 --> 00:23:58,818
I say, "I can't."

313
00:23:58,985 --> 00:24:00,820
She looks up, smiles and says,

314
00:24:00,987 --> 00:24:03,740
"See, I told you my..."

315
00:24:03,907 --> 00:24:05,491
That ain't funny.

316
00:24:05,658 --> 00:24:07,327
Hey, there he is!
Heard you were coming.

317
00:24:07,493 --> 00:24:08,953
- What's your name?
- Cecil.

318
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:10,872
- Cecil Gaines.
- That ain't funny.

319
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:14,667
I'm Carter Wilson, head butler.
Don't worry about Big Mo behind you.

320
00:24:14,834 --> 00:24:16,878
That brother will steal your wallet
before you even knew it.

321
00:24:17,045 --> 00:24:19,756
This brother in the mirror over here,
his name's James Holloway.

322
00:24:19,923 --> 00:24:21,424
- He's my second in command.
- James.

323
00:24:21,591 --> 00:24:23,468
Jackie Robinson or Willie Mays?

324
00:24:23,635 --> 00:24:24,844
Why don't you shake
the man's hand first

325
00:24:25,011 --> 00:24:27,096
before you start asking difficult
questions like that?

326
00:24:27,263 --> 00:24:28,932
I just want to know
where the man's coming from.

327
00:24:29,098 --> 00:24:31,392
Look like the jury's still
out on that one, right?

328
00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:33,811
Welcome.
Fancy Freddie give you the tour yet?

329
00:24:33,978 --> 00:24:37,106
He did.
ls the Dodgers still... still losing?

330
00:24:37,273 --> 00:24:39,609
I might be able to answer that question
if Carter over here

331
00:24:39,776 --> 00:24:41,319
stop running his nasty mouth.

332
00:24:41,486 --> 00:24:43,780
Cut the shit
and let's get to work.

333
00:24:43,947 --> 00:24:46,991
"Ain't That a Kick in the Head"]

334
00:25:06,052 --> 00:25:08,763
- Ready.
- Lord, help us.

335
00:25:20,274 --> 00:25:24,445
Don't be nervous, man.
Just go on and get to it.

336
00:25:33,204 --> 00:25:36,207
You hear nothing,
you see nothing.

337
00:25:36,374 --> 00:25:38,084
You only serve.

338
00:25:58,312 --> 00:26:00,606
Send federal troops to Little Rock?

339
00:26:00,773 --> 00:26:02,233
If it comes to it, yes.

340
00:26:03,901 --> 00:26:08,239
I can't see any situation where
I'd send federal troops to the South.

341
00:26:08,406 --> 00:26:12,577
Ever. Could cause another Civil War.

342
00:26:12,744 --> 00:26:18,499
Sir, if the federal government
doesn't enforce Brown, then who will?

343
00:26:18,666 --> 00:26:20,293
The South must comply with the law.

344
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:23,129
It's just gonna take some time
to adjust, that's all.

345
00:26:23,296 --> 00:26:25,173
I understand, Mr. President,

346
00:26:25,339 --> 00:26:29,302
but if Faubus continues to block the
Negro children, then what do we do?

347
00:26:29,469 --> 00:26:31,220
We must enforce
the Constitution.

348
00:26:32,013 --> 00:26:34,348
Give Faubus more time.

349
00:26:34,515 --> 00:26:36,184
With a little persuading,
he'll back down.

350
00:26:36,350 --> 00:26:38,269
We just want to move slowly.

351
00:26:44,233 --> 00:26:47,570
- How'd it go?
- I almost shit myself.

352
00:26:49,655 --> 00:26:52,867
I dated a girl once. Every time
I hit her, she shit herself.

353
00:26:53,034 --> 00:26:56,454
- What?
- Got no sense.

354
00:26:56,621 --> 00:26:58,664
- Shut up.
- You shut up.

355
00:26:58,831 --> 00:27:00,208
I put a towel down.

356
00:27:02,168 --> 00:27:04,462
<i>You know, Marcella said
the very same thing last night</i>

357
00:27:04,629 --> 00:27:06,214
<i>just before I put her to sleep.</i>

358
00:27:12,512 --> 00:27:16,099
<i>- Wow. You put her...
- Just like I did Ed.</i>

359
00:27:17,892 --> 00:27:19,644
<i>I'd do it real quick.</i>

360
00:27:24,148 --> 00:27:26,400
<i>' See you!
- Why?</i>

361
00:27:27,985 --> 00:27:31,239
Dang...
Got the popcorn all over the sofa.

362
00:27:31,405 --> 00:27:32,990
Your dad's gonna kill...

363
00:27:33,157 --> 00:27:35,201
Hey,Dad.

364
00:27:35,368 --> 00:27:36,536
- Hi, Mr. Gaines.
- Hey, Dad.

365
00:27:36,702 --> 00:27:38,996
Hey, Elroy.

366
00:27:39,163 --> 00:27:42,416
Louis, I told you about letting these
kids watch that show.

367
00:27:42,583 --> 00:27:44,794
It's too scary.
They're too young for it.

368
00:27:44,961 --> 00:27:46,295
Turn it off.

369
00:27:47,296 --> 00:27:48,756
<i>All you got to do is smile pretty,</i>

370
00:27:48,923 --> 00:27:50,424
<i>and a man will forget
everything he ever learned.</i>

371
00:27:50,591 --> 00:27:52,176
Where your mama at?

372
00:27:52,343 --> 00:27:54,929
Miss Gloria tried staying up,
but she went to sleep.

373
00:27:55,096 --> 00:27:56,931
Elroy, ain't nobody
asked you nothing.

374
00:27:57,098 --> 00:27:58,766
Take your butt home before
your mama come up in here

375
00:27:58,933 --> 00:28:00,059
and whup the both of us.

376
00:28:00,226 --> 00:28:01,394
- Come on, Dad.
- Go on.

377
00:28:01,561 --> 00:28:03,062
- Bye.
- Turn it off.

378
00:28:11,737 --> 00:28:13,698
Don't go stomping up the stairs,
wake your mama up.

379
00:28:23,499 --> 00:28:24,959
What is that?

380
00:28:25,126 --> 00:28:28,045
Is that that Mamie Till stuff?

381
00:28:28,212 --> 00:28:31,382
- I want to go to this.
- Absolutely not.

382
00:28:34,552 --> 00:28:36,637
How come?

383
00:28:37,722 --> 00:28:40,057
Ain't no good can come of that.

384
00:28:40,224 --> 00:28:42,143
Dad, you heard what Mama said?

385
00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:43,436
That mess right there
happened down South.

386
00:28:43,603 --> 00:28:46,355
- This could have been me.
- It happened down South.

387
00:28:46,522 --> 00:28:48,649
I got out of there so we
could have us a better life.

388
00:28:48,816 --> 00:28:51,819
Right now, I'm working for the white
man, make things better for us.

389
00:28:51,986 --> 00:28:53,738
And not just any white man, either.

390
00:28:53,905 --> 00:28:56,282
Put the lights off. Go to bed.

391
00:29:15,051 --> 00:29:17,094
I have your chicken soup,
Mr. President.

392
00:29:17,261 --> 00:29:18,930
Just set it on the table, Cecil.

393
00:29:19,096 --> 00:29:20,306
Yes, sir.

394
00:29:24,018 --> 00:29:27,271
Did you ever complete school, Cecil?

395
00:29:27,438 --> 00:29:30,066
I didn't go to school,
Mr. President.

396
00:29:30,233 --> 00:29:32,443
I grew up on a cotton farm.

397
00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:34,946
I grew up on a farm.

398
00:29:35,112 --> 00:29:37,323
Do you have any children?

399
00:29:37,490 --> 00:29:39,325
Yes, sir, I have two sons.

400
00:29:39,492 --> 00:29:40,910
Do they go
to an all-colored school?

401
00:29:42,620 --> 00:29:44,538
Yes, sir, they do.

402
00:29:51,254 --> 00:29:52,922
What is it?

403
00:29:53,089 --> 00:29:55,049
State Guard just blocked
all the colored kids again.

404
00:29:55,216 --> 00:29:58,010
Faubus promised me the guards
would escort the kids in.

405
00:29:58,177 --> 00:30:00,346
Governor of Arkansas lied,
Mr. President.

406
00:30:00,513 --> 00:30:04,350
What is wrong with him?
Why is he forcing me to do this?

407
00:30:09,605 --> 00:30:11,524
Yes, sir.

408
00:30:12,108 --> 00:30:14,652
Our next move
needs to be bold and swift.

409
00:30:18,614 --> 00:30:22,076
<i>I have today
issued an executive order</i>

410
00:30:22,243 --> 00:30:25,413
<i>directing the use of troops
under federal authority</i>

411
00:30:25,579 --> 00:30:29,208
<i>to aid in the execution
of federal law</i>

412
00:30:29,375 --> 00:30:31,961
<i>at Little Rock, Arkansas.</i>

413
00:30:32,128 --> 00:30:33,921
<i>This became necessary...</i>

414
00:30:34,088 --> 00:30:36,841
<i>When the president
sent those troops down to Little Rock,</i>

415
00:30:37,008 --> 00:30:41,804
<i>it was the first time I ever seen a
white man stick his neck out for us.</i>

416
00:30:43,097 --> 00:30:47,101
<i>I told Louis that the president was
gonna make things better for us.</i>

417
00:30:48,394 --> 00:30:51,897
All graduations are long.
She was so nosy.

418
00:30:52,064 --> 00:30:53,983
I'm gonna make
some potato salad.

419
00:30:54,150 --> 00:30:56,444
<i>Now he could see that I knew
what I was talking about.</i>

420
00:30:56,610 --> 00:30:58,821
That was wonderful.
I'm so proud of you.

421
00:30:58,988 --> 00:31:02,658
- Thanks, Mama.
- That hat looks stupid.

422
00:31:02,825 --> 00:31:04,577
Your face looks stupid.

423
00:31:06,454 --> 00:31:10,750
- Proud of you, too.
- Dad, did you see...

424
00:31:10,916 --> 00:31:12,752
Don't start something in there.

425
00:31:14,170 --> 00:31:16,839
Did you see one white kid
in my school?

426
00:31:24,805 --> 00:31:29,185
<i>Why couldn't Louis see that
the president made things better for us?</i>

427
00:31:30,186 --> 00:31:31,729
- Thank you.
- Cookie?

428
00:31:31,896 --> 00:31:33,481
- Cookies.
- Thanks.

429
00:31:33,647 --> 00:31:35,399
Thank you.

430
00:31:43,074 --> 00:31:44,867
Boy, I told you
we was gonna be late!

431
00:31:45,034 --> 00:31:46,619
You cannot miss this bus!

432
00:31:46,786 --> 00:31:49,705
- Oh, Lord have mercy.
- Wait, a sec. Wait, wait, wait.

433
00:31:49,872 --> 00:31:52,500
- What?
- Got to say good-bye.

434
00:31:52,666 --> 00:31:55,002
Bus can wait.

435
00:31:58,964 --> 00:32:02,134
Tennessee is
a long ways away, Pop.

436
00:32:02,301 --> 00:32:04,637
Fisk is a really
good school, Dad.

437
00:32:04,804 --> 00:32:07,223
You can change your mind
and go to Howard.

438
00:32:07,390 --> 00:32:11,018
I cannot believe you are still
talking about Howard University.

439
00:32:11,185 --> 00:32:15,147
- He's going to Fisk.
- I know, I know. It's just...

440
00:32:15,314 --> 00:32:17,691
It's just so far away, that's all.

441
00:32:17,858 --> 00:32:20,653
- That's the point.
- What's the point?

442
00:32:22,947 --> 00:32:24,490
Give me a cigarette, and don't
tell me you don't smoke.

443
00:32:24,657 --> 00:32:27,326
- I don't have one.
- Come here.

444
00:32:27,493 --> 00:32:31,122
- You know you want to cry, punk.
- Not for you.

445
00:32:31,288 --> 00:32:34,166
Look under your mattress.
I left you something.

446
00:32:34,333 --> 00:32:37,920
- I can't protect him down South.
- The South has changed, Cecil.

447
00:32:38,087 --> 00:32:39,338
I'm too young for Playboy.

448
00:32:39,505 --> 00:32:40,756
The South ain't what it
was when you was there.

449
00:32:40,923 --> 00:32:43,676
Ma, Louis is leaving me
his filthy magazines.

450
00:32:43,843 --> 00:32:45,678
- Stop lying on your brother.
- Why you slapping him?

451
00:32:45,845 --> 00:32:47,471
He's the one with the magazines.

452
00:32:47,638 --> 00:32:50,891
- I love you, Mama.
- I love you, son.

453
00:32:51,058 --> 00:32:52,977
- I love you, Louis.
- I love you.

454
00:32:53,144 --> 00:32:56,522
- I made you ham sandwiches.
- Thanks, Mama.

455
00:32:58,149 --> 00:32:59,900
Come on, Dad.

456
00:33:02,653 --> 00:33:04,864
OK.

457
00:33:12,163 --> 00:33:13,706
You're the first.

458
00:33:15,499 --> 00:33:17,877
I know.

459
00:33:18,043 --> 00:33:19,795
I'm really proud of you.

460
00:33:20,671 --> 00:33:22,506
I got to go, Dad.

461
00:33:28,095 --> 00:33:31,140
I got to go.

462
00:33:36,479 --> 00:33:38,063
If you need anything, you call me.

463
00:33:38,230 --> 00:33:40,024
- All right.
- All right?

464
00:33:40,191 --> 00:33:41,650
Bye, Mama.

465
00:33:47,907 --> 00:33:50,117
Bye, Louis.

466
00:33:59,627 --> 00:34:00,961
It's all right.

467
00:34:10,387 --> 00:34:12,389
Remind me again why
we're doing this, please.

468
00:34:12,556 --> 00:34:15,392
Somebody? Tell me?
That look like a mugging to me,

469
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:17,978
- that's what that looks like.
- This is the art of French baking.

470
00:34:18,145 --> 00:34:21,440
Negro, please.
"Art of French baking."

471
00:34:21,607 --> 00:34:23,651
This is absolutely nothing.
That's what this is.

472
00:34:23,817 --> 00:34:26,445
- I don't...
- Boy's always so simple.

473
00:34:26,612 --> 00:34:28,447
You want me to play with it?
I'll play with it.

474
00:34:28,614 --> 00:34:30,366
Play With it like this.

475
00:34:30,533 --> 00:34:33,410
It'd be good if it had a little...
a little nipple on it.

476
00:34:33,577 --> 00:34:34,828
Come on, man.

477
00:34:34,995 --> 00:34:37,039
That's how you play. You jiggle it.
You shake it, you know.

478
00:34:37,206 --> 00:34:38,499
This fool.

479
00:34:38,666 --> 00:34:41,502
Good evening,
Mr. Vice President.

480
00:34:43,546 --> 00:34:46,257
That looks like a tasty treat.

481
00:34:46,423 --> 00:34:48,342
Yes, sir.

482
00:34:48,509 --> 00:34:50,344
I brought you all something.

483
00:34:54,473 --> 00:34:56,809
Thank you, Mr. Vice President.

484
00:34:56,976 --> 00:34:58,686
I don't want to say anything negative

485
00:34:58,852 --> 00:35:02,064
about that Kennedy boy.
I'm sure he's a real nice fellow.

486
00:35:02,231 --> 00:35:05,150
But do you really want that
spoiled rich son-of-a-bitch fuck

487
00:35:05,317 --> 00:35:07,736
to be your next president?

488
00:35:09,488 --> 00:35:11,198
Think about it.

489
00:35:15,869 --> 00:35:18,622
We'll cheer for you,
Mr. Vice President.

490
00:35:18,789 --> 00:35:20,541
Thank you, Cecil.

491
00:35:23,669 --> 00:35:26,171
Let me ask you something,
in all candor,

492
00:35:26,338 --> 00:35:30,676
as members of the Negro community,
what are your biggest concerns?

493
00:35:34,597 --> 00:35:36,640
Now, come on now, boys.

494
00:35:37,683 --> 00:35:39,101
Don't be shy.

495
00:35:41,562 --> 00:35:44,231
Holloway, come on.

496
00:35:44,398 --> 00:35:48,068
- Well, since you asked, sir...
- I did.

497
00:35:48,235 --> 00:35:52,197
The colored help gets paid almost
4O percent less than the white help.

498
00:35:52,364 --> 00:35:54,408
- Is that right?
- Yes, sir.

499
00:35:54,575 --> 00:35:58,412
And it's very difficult for
the colored staff to be promoted.

500
00:35:59,913 --> 00:36:02,916
I'll tell you what. When I'm president,
I'm gonna look into getting you boys

501
00:36:03,083 --> 00:36:04,835
the raises and
the promotions you deserve.

502
00:36:05,002 --> 00:36:08,088
That... that would be swell, sir.

503
00:36:08,255 --> 00:36:12,051
- You got my word on that.
- Thank you, sir.

504
00:36:12,217 --> 00:36:13,969
Now, you tell your people
to vote for me,

505
00:36:14,136 --> 00:36:15,346
and that's exactly
what's gonna happen.

506
00:36:15,512 --> 00:36:18,265
Give that to somebody.

507
00:36:42,873 --> 00:36:45,793
What do you mean, you don't
want to date nobody?

508
00:36:45,959 --> 00:36:47,127
After all these guys
that come after you?

509
00:36:47,294 --> 00:36:50,714
- Girl, please. I'm just...
- Like that one?

510
00:36:50,881 --> 00:36:53,676
I'm talking about you and Isaac.

511
00:36:53,842 --> 00:36:55,135
Now, come on,
tell me what happened.

512
00:36:55,302 --> 00:36:56,929
Y'all seemed happy.

513
00:36:57,096 --> 00:36:59,765
See, I can't even have a normal
conversation with you, because...

514
00:37:06,897 --> 00:37:11,110
- Hey.
- You looking for love, boy?

515
00:37:13,153 --> 00:37:17,282
That's what we call the Lawson workshop,
the love school.

516
00:37:17,449 --> 00:37:21,245
- Is that what you're looking for?
- That's why I came to Fisk.

517
00:37:23,038 --> 00:37:24,915
Me, too.

518
00:37:29,211 --> 00:37:32,589
- I'm Carol Hammie.
- Louis Gaines.

519
00:37:32,756 --> 00:37:34,758
Come on. Follow me.

520
00:37:37,010 --> 00:37:39,138
You a country boy, ain't you?

521
00:37:39,304 --> 00:37:41,432
He's a doctor. What does your dad do?

522
00:37:41,598 --> 00:37:44,476
He's in politics.

523
00:37:44,643 --> 00:37:47,146
You were gonna need help
finding this place anyway.

524
00:37:47,312 --> 00:37:49,022
...nor can you sustain it
over a month.

525
00:37:49,189 --> 00:37:51,400
- Really?
- This requires time, commitment,

526
00:37:51,567 --> 00:37:52,985
dedication, discipline and focus.

527
00:37:53,152 --> 00:37:56,196
And we are measuring our
accomplishments in waves, right?

528
00:37:56,363 --> 00:37:58,574
This is not a fly-by-night affair.
This doesn't happen over a week.

529
00:37:58,741 --> 00:38:01,994
This requires a fierce discipline,
which is what we've been discussing.

530
00:38:02,161 --> 00:38:03,954
How do you measure these things?

531
00:38:04,121 --> 00:38:06,540
We go back, and we look
at somebody like Gandhi.

532
00:38:06,707 --> 00:38:09,501
Together, we are gonna study
and examine Gandhi's techniques.

533
00:38:09,668 --> 00:38:12,588
What has been so effective
in South Africa, so effective in India,

534
00:38:12,755 --> 00:38:15,257
for his own people and others,

535
00:38:15,424 --> 00:38:18,260
and we're gonna employ it
right here, in Nashville.

536
00:38:18,427 --> 00:38:22,055
So we're gonna form an army.
You and I.

537
00:38:22,222 --> 00:38:25,058
This army has one weapon.
That weapon is love.

538
00:38:25,225 --> 00:38:26,977
Now, I am of the... yes.

539
00:38:27,144 --> 00:38:29,313
If our only weapon is love,

540
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,648
and then their weapons
are weapons,

541
00:38:31,815 --> 00:38:35,319
- I mean, isn't that dangerous?
- Oh, you can be killed.

542
00:38:35,486 --> 00:38:37,696
If anybody's uncomfortable with that,
you know where the door is.

543
00:38:37,863 --> 00:38:40,783
I understand that sounds
provocative, but it's true.

544
00:38:42,785 --> 00:38:46,330
All right, kids.
It's show time.

545
00:38:46,497 --> 00:38:49,708
"Function at the Junction"]

546
00:39:05,516 --> 00:39:09,228
Gandhi has demonstrated for us
that the brown man,

547
00:39:09,394 --> 00:39:12,022
in his native land, or anywhere
that he's being oppressed...

548
00:39:14,233 --> 00:39:15,943
<i>...can pull himself out of segregation</i>

549
00:39:16,109 --> 00:39:18,612
with patience, with persistence,

550
00:39:18,779 --> 00:39:21,448
with intelligence and thought,
with discipline...

551
00:39:25,994 --> 00:39:27,955
<i>...and a bit
of a sense of humor.</i>

552
00:39:37,297 --> 00:39:39,174
<i>You know y'all can't sit here.</i>

553
00:39:39,341 --> 00:39:41,552
We would like to be served, please.

554
00:39:41,718 --> 00:39:44,388
<i>This is unprecedented,
what we're talking about,</i>

555
00:39:44,555 --> 00:39:47,641
<i>but it needs a patience
that none of us have ever seen.</i>

556
00:39:47,808 --> 00:39:49,685
You can order food
in the colored section,

557
00:39:49,852 --> 00:39:51,895
but I'm not gonna be
serving you here.

558
00:39:52,062 --> 00:39:55,524
We are organized.
We have a leader with every group.

559
00:39:55,691 --> 00:39:58,235
<i>We have lookouts
with pocket change</i>

560
00:39:58,402 --> 00:40:00,070
<i>and the local phone numbers
for ambulances ready,</i>

561
00:40:00,237 --> 00:40:03,156
<i>and when one wave comes
off that lunch counter, what follows?</i>

562
00:40:03,323 --> 00:40:04,992
<i>A whole 'nother wave of Negro students</i>

563
00:40:05,158 --> 00:40:07,119
<i>sitting at that lunch counter,
blowing their mind.</i>

564
00:40:07,286 --> 00:40:09,580
We would like
to be served, please.

565
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:15,836
<i>Now, who wants to role-play?</i>

566
00:40:16,003 --> 00:40:18,297
Jim, I need your help over here.

567
00:40:18,463 --> 00:40:20,299
Now, y'all know you're
not supposed to sit there.

568
00:40:20,465 --> 00:40:23,260
- Attack.
- Get up, nigger! Get up!

569
00:40:23,427 --> 00:40:24,845
This is an experiment.

570
00:40:25,012 --> 00:40:27,180
So do whatever it takes
to break their spirits.

571
00:40:27,347 --> 00:40:29,474
- Come on, get up, nigger.
- Use the language.

572
00:40:29,641 --> 00:40:30,934
I need to hear "nigger" coming
out of your mouth.

573
00:40:31,101 --> 00:40:32,811
- I need to hear "coon."
- I don't feel comfortable saying that.

574
00:40:32,978 --> 00:40:35,606
You came here to get yourself prepared
and to get her prepared.

575
00:40:35,772 --> 00:40:37,691
So let me hear it now.

576
00:40:38,817 --> 00:40:41,028
- Nigger.
- Louder.

577
00:40:41,194 --> 00:40:42,779
Say the words like you mean it.

578
00:40:42,946 --> 00:40:44,740
- Nigger.
- Louder.

579
00:40:44,907 --> 00:40:46,033
You are a nigger!

580
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,828
You need to be sitting
in the colored seating.

581
00:40:49,995 --> 00:40:51,955
This is not for you,
you cannot be served here.

582
00:40:52,122 --> 00:40:54,249
You need to do as you're told
and sit in your place.

583
00:40:54,416 --> 00:40:56,418
- You are a nigger.
- Make her believe it.

584
00:40:56,585 --> 00:40:58,128
- I don't believe you.
- You're a nigger.

585
00:40:58,295 --> 00:40:59,421
You know that's where
the colored people sit.

586
00:40:59,588 --> 00:41:03,008
You see these people over here?
They're in their section over here.

587
00:41:03,175 --> 00:41:06,553
You coon ass!
Get up, you nigger!

588
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:09,848
If you want us to shop
in this establishment, make them go.

589
00:41:10,015 --> 00:41:11,725
Come on, Robert, let's go.

590
00:41:28,367 --> 00:41:30,202
Nigger lover, get out!

591
00:41:30,369 --> 00:41:32,412
- Get up, monkey. Get up!
- What is this?

592
00:41:32,579 --> 00:41:35,415
Are you listening to us?

593
00:41:35,582 --> 00:41:38,085
This says "whites only."

594
00:41:38,251 --> 00:41:40,712
Get up, nigger. Get up!

595
00:41:45,175 --> 00:41:47,135
- Coons here?
- What are you doing here?

596
00:41:47,302 --> 00:41:48,637
- Does it say "coons?"
- "Whites only."

597
00:41:51,223 --> 00:41:53,976
<i>You don't belong here with them.
This? What is this, huh?</i>

598
00:41:54,142 --> 00:41:56,561
- Does it say "coons" here, huh?
- What are you doing here?

599
00:41:56,728 --> 00:41:59,272
- Pay attention.
- No, this is whites only.

600
00:42:00,023 --> 00:42:01,942
<i>You don't belong here at all.</i>

601
00:42:02,651 --> 00:42:04,695
What are you reading?
I didn't know niggers could read.

602
00:42:04,861 --> 00:42:06,405
What are you, stupid?
You're a nigger lover now?

603
00:42:06,571 --> 00:42:08,490
Get up, you nigger!
Look at me!

604
00:42:08,657 --> 00:42:10,659
- Look at me!
- What are you doing?

605
00:42:10,826 --> 00:42:13,829
You disrespectful monkey. Huh?

606
00:42:13,996 --> 00:42:15,914
Do you understand?
You understand?

607
00:42:16,081 --> 00:42:17,457
Stop it! Stop it!

608
00:42:17,624 --> 00:42:19,918
What do you think you're doing here?

609
00:42:22,045 --> 00:42:25,382
Get up! Get up, you nigger!
Look at me! Look at me!

610
00:42:25,549 --> 00:42:27,509
That up there or is that here?

611
00:42:30,971 --> 00:42:32,264
You don't have to tell me,

612
00:42:32,431 --> 00:42:34,307
- but you have to decide.
- I was a nigger.

613
00:42:46,737 --> 00:42:49,531
- Go back to where you came from!
- Here, you want some coffee?

614
00:43:10,802 --> 00:43:12,512
<i>...the niggers are better
off in their own schools</i>

615
00:43:12,679 --> 00:43:14,014
<i>than they are in the white schools.</i>

616
00:43:14,181 --> 00:43:16,641
- To serving our country.
- Serving our country.

617
00:43:16,808 --> 00:43:18,060
My man.

618
00:43:26,026 --> 00:43:30,489
I feel rich right now.
I like the way that tastes.

619
00:43:51,343 --> 00:43:52,969
<i>They got no business out here.</i>

620
00:43:53,136 --> 00:43:54,554
<i>...better off in their
own schools than they are</i>

621
00:43:54,721 --> 00:43:56,223
<i>in the white schools.</i>

622
00:44:01,144 --> 00:44:02,813
You're all sentenced to 3O days

623
00:44:02,979 --> 00:44:04,397
- in the countyjail.
- What?

624
00:44:04,564 --> 00:44:07,234
Bailiff, get these
niggers out of here.

625
00:44:29,714 --> 00:44:32,676
Something special
is going on down here, Dad.

626
00:44:35,846 --> 00:44:39,057
What's so special about
another colored man in jail?

627
00:44:40,976 --> 00:44:44,479
What you doing
with my hard earned money, Pop?

628
00:44:44,646 --> 00:44:45,856
Are you even in school?

629
00:44:46,022 --> 00:44:47,274
I'm trying to change
the way Negroes...

630
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,025
You're breaking the law.

631
00:44:50,152 --> 00:44:53,488
That judge just sentenced you
to 3O days in the county workhouse.

632
00:44:53,655 --> 00:44:55,407
You fixing to get killed.

633
00:44:55,574 --> 00:44:56,992
If I can't sit at any
lunch counter I want,

634
00:44:57,159 --> 00:44:58,785
then I might as well be dead.

635
00:44:58,952 --> 00:45:00,912
- We're fighting for our rights.
- Rights?

636
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:02,330
- What are you talking about?
- We're trying to change

637
00:45:02,497 --> 00:45:03,874
the nation's consciousness
toward the American Negro.

638
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,292
Them postcards you've been sending me?

639
00:45:05,458 --> 00:45:07,335
- You're a damn liar.
- I have been in school.

640
00:45:10,380 --> 00:45:12,299
Who do you think you're talking to?

641
00:45:12,465 --> 00:45:14,676
I brought you into this world,
I can take you out of it.

642
00:45:47,751 --> 00:45:51,129
- Y'all been able to talk to him?
- Talk to who?

643
00:45:51,296 --> 00:45:54,257
- Louis.
- Yeah, we talk to him.

644
00:45:55,425 --> 00:45:57,928
Said he's joined something
called the "Freedom Riders,"

645
00:45:58,094 --> 00:46:00,639
whatever the hell
that's supposed to mean.

646
00:46:00,805 --> 00:46:02,182
You gonna see him?

647
00:46:02,349 --> 00:46:04,351
I been fixing to trying to see him.

648
00:46:04,517 --> 00:46:06,645
Every time I do,
Cecil get all riled up.

649
00:46:06,811 --> 00:46:08,772
So I don't know when
that's gonna happen.

650
00:46:08,939 --> 00:46:11,274
"Fixing to trying."
See, that's the problem.

651
00:46:11,441 --> 00:46:14,361
You got to stop trying,
and you just got to do it.

652
00:46:14,527 --> 00:46:16,571
He take you
to the White House yet?

653
00:46:18,198 --> 00:46:20,867
No. Cecil say we're going soon.

654
00:46:21,034 --> 00:46:23,620
"Cecil say, Cecil say."

655
00:46:23,787 --> 00:46:27,415
Four years. That's what makes
you a little bit gullible, darling.

656
00:46:27,582 --> 00:46:29,709
I don't understand.
I don't understand why he can't

657
00:46:29,876 --> 00:46:32,170
- get the president to do something.
- See, Gina, that's your problem.

658
00:46:32,337 --> 00:46:34,547
You just say stupid stuff.

659
00:46:34,714 --> 00:46:38,927
President got more to do than be
thinking about Louis' foolishness.

660
00:46:40,303 --> 00:46:42,764
You know,
why don't you just shut up?

661
00:46:42,931 --> 00:46:46,268
It's just a mess.
Be nice.

662
00:46:46,434 --> 00:46:49,396
Who told you
you could tell me to shut up?

663
00:46:49,562 --> 00:46:51,564
- Well...  You...
- Go get me a drink.

664
00:46:51,731 --> 00:46:53,275
I want some scotch.

665
00:46:55,026 --> 00:46:59,823
Well, I personally think Louis is
gonna get every one of us killed.

666
00:46:59,990 --> 00:47:02,659
They coming to get us.
They coming to get us.

667
00:47:02,826 --> 00:47:06,162
He crazy like his mama.

668
00:47:06,329 --> 00:47:08,290
I meant it in a good way.

669
00:47:09,666 --> 00:47:13,003
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.

670
00:47:13,169 --> 00:47:15,046
Get back over here.

671
00:47:15,213 --> 00:47:17,173
Let me get your ass.

672
00:47:17,340 --> 00:47:22,721
<i>I received also a wire from
President Eisenhower, which says...</i>

673
00:47:22,887 --> 00:47:25,932
<i>The president lives
at the White House</i>

674
00:47:26,099 --> 00:47:29,352
<i>until the moment the next one
is sworn in.</i>

675
00:47:29,519 --> 00:47:32,188
<i>So the staff has exactly two hours</i>

676
00:47:32,355 --> 00:47:37,068
<i>during the inauguration ceremony,
to move the old president out</i>

677
00:47:37,235 --> 00:47:39,571
<i>and move the new one in.</i>

678
00:47:39,738 --> 00:47:44,409
They say
this new white boy's smooth.

679
00:47:44,576 --> 00:47:46,745
I just need to get my
butt home to Gloria.

680
00:47:46,911 --> 00:47:49,414
'Cause these hours,
they're killing us.

681
00:47:49,581 --> 00:47:51,166
How's your boy doing, Cecil?

682
00:47:51,333 --> 00:47:54,377
Gentlemen, the president's arriving.

683
00:47:58,340 --> 00:48:00,592
- OK.
- Where shall we start?

684
00:48:00,759 --> 00:48:02,218
I'm not sure.
This end, maybe over there?

685
00:48:02,385 --> 00:48:03,845
- Thank you.
- Right this way, Mr. President.

686
00:48:04,012 --> 00:48:06,806
- Hello, everyone.
- Mr. President.

687
00:48:06,973 --> 00:48:10,101
I am thrilled to be
working with all of you

688
00:48:10,268 --> 00:48:11,978
over the next four years.

689
00:48:12,145 --> 00:48:14,647
Eight years, Jack.

690
00:48:15,899 --> 00:48:17,484
Well, you see who wears
the pants around here.

691
00:48:19,069 --> 00:48:21,696
I'm not gonna remember any
of your names, but I'm gonna try.

692
00:48:21,863 --> 00:48:23,907
Jessie. It's a good thing you're here
'cause I'm gonna forget.

693
00:48:24,074 --> 00:48:26,826
- Thank you. This is Lorraine.
- Pleasure to meet you.

694
00:48:26,993 --> 00:48:28,453
- Mr. President.
- How are you, James?

695
00:48:28,620 --> 00:48:29,621
- Carter.
- Pleasure, Mr. President.

696
00:48:29,788 --> 00:48:31,331
- Carter.
- This is Cecil.

697
00:48:31,498 --> 00:48:32,957
- Pleasure to meet you, Mr. President.
- How are you?

698
00:48:33,124 --> 00:48:34,292
- William.
- Mrs. Kennedy.

699
00:48:34,459 --> 00:48:36,378
- Greg.
- How are you?

700
00:48:36,544 --> 00:48:37,712
Winslow.

701
00:48:37,879 --> 00:48:39,964
I got it. She's all right.

702
00:48:41,091 --> 00:48:42,884
Pleasure to meet you,
Miss Caroline.

703
00:48:43,051 --> 00:48:44,260
- Miles.
- Miles.

704
00:48:45,303 --> 00:48:48,640
What's that on your breath,
Gloria? Stop, OK. Stop.

705
00:48:48,807 --> 00:48:50,475
- What's that?
- Baby, that's gin.

706
00:48:50,642 --> 00:48:53,478
- I can smell it from here.
- It said "Addison's disease."

707
00:48:53,645 --> 00:48:54,938
Stop. Stop it, will you stop?

708
00:48:55,105 --> 00:48:57,315
Did you take Charlie
to the dentist today?

709
00:49:00,693 --> 00:49:03,446
Somebody at the White House
got Addison's disease?

710
00:49:06,241 --> 00:49:09,035
No, I did not take Charlie
to the dentist today.

711
00:49:09,202 --> 00:49:11,996
And what you asking me about it for?
You never home.

712
00:49:12,163 --> 00:49:14,666
Now you gonna act like you gonna
take Charlie to the dentist?

713
00:49:14,833 --> 00:49:17,752
You ain't never here.
I don't know how you gonna take him.

714
00:49:17,919 --> 00:49:20,296
His teeth fall out,
waiting on you to take him.

715
00:49:20,463 --> 00:49:24,717
Just go to bed, Gloria.
I'll take him tomorrow.

716
00:49:24,884 --> 00:49:27,429
How many pairs of shoes
does she have?

717
00:49:30,181 --> 00:49:34,102
I said, how many pairs of shoes
does Mrs. Jackie Kennedy have?

718
00:49:34,269 --> 00:49:36,354
How the hell do I know?

719
00:49:40,358 --> 00:49:42,861
You're in that 0l' White House
day and night.

720
00:49:43,027 --> 00:49:44,779
Thought you knew everything.

721
00:49:48,658 --> 00:49:50,743
Coming in,
trying to tell me what to do.

722
00:49:50,910 --> 00:49:53,621
Worried about me drinking.

723
00:49:53,788 --> 00:49:56,166
You ought to be worried
about your house.

724
00:49:56,332 --> 00:49:58,793
Our boy's in jail, Cecil.

725
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,714
Our boy's in jail,
and you can't come home.

726
00:50:03,923 --> 00:50:07,051
You... You don't see I'm here,
trying to talk to you?

727
00:50:09,137 --> 00:50:13,641
I bet you wish I spoke French,
just like Jackie.

728
00:50:13,808 --> 00:50:16,269
Jackie Kennedy.

729
00:50:16,436 --> 00:50:19,230
Que sera, sera.

730
00:50:20,607 --> 00:50:23,276
You like that?

731
00:50:23,443 --> 00:50:25,236
You like the way she talk?

732
00:50:26,696 --> 00:50:28,781
Cecil,
you hear me talking to you.

733
00:50:29,866 --> 00:50:31,659
You ain't asleep.

734
00:50:48,384 --> 00:50:50,637
<i>Bobby told the president</i>

735
00:50:50,803 --> 00:50:53,431
<i>they shouldn't be worried about
the Negro sit-ins.</i>

736
00:50:53,598 --> 00:50:56,976
<i>Polls show the US
does not support civil rights.</i>

737
00:50:57,143 --> 00:51:00,897
Told you that white boy was smooth.
A little too smooth for my money.

738
00:51:06,945 --> 00:51:10,740
- Hey, Cecil, how's your boy doing?
- Out of jail, says he's back in school,

739
00:51:10,907 --> 00:51:13,076
but I think he's doing
that freedom riding thing.

740
00:51:13,243 --> 00:51:15,537
How's Gloria doing
with that drinking?

741
00:51:16,996 --> 00:51:18,581
She's hanging-

742
00:51:21,918 --> 00:51:24,921
They say that cat
that's playing is a big deal.

743
00:51:25,088 --> 00:51:28,883
- Pablo Casals, world famous.
- Course he's world famous.

744
00:51:29,050 --> 00:51:30,802
You think Mrs. Kennedy
is gonna have, uh...

745
00:51:30,969 --> 00:51:33,263
some backwoods country fiddle
band playing out there for her?

746
00:51:33,429 --> 00:51:34,806
- Man.
- Why don't you start a band?

747
00:51:34,973 --> 00:51:36,558
Maybe you can go out there, too.

748
00:51:36,724 --> 00:51:38,851
You know what, in fact,
let's all start a band.

749
00:51:39,018 --> 00:51:40,812
I'll play the bongos.
What about you?

750
00:51:40,979 --> 00:51:43,273
I play a mean... skin flute.

751
00:51:43,439 --> 00:51:46,943
- ♪ Babalu.
- Casals is a righteous soul.

752
00:51:47,110 --> 00:51:50,363
He refuses to play in any country
that recognizes Franco's regime.

753
00:51:50,530 --> 00:51:52,407
Who's Franco?

754
00:51:54,867 --> 00:51:56,536
- Forget it, man.
- Huh?

755
00:51:56,703 --> 00:51:59,789
Forget it. You're ignorant.

756
00:52:11,384 --> 00:52:13,303
Carol, are you tired?

757
00:52:13,469 --> 00:52:16,014
You just want me to put my head
on your shoulder.

758
00:52:16,180 --> 00:52:17,390
What wrong with that?

759
00:52:17,557 --> 00:52:18,766
I'm not putting my head
on your shoulder.

760
00:52:18,933 --> 00:52:19,934
You can.

761
00:52:23,313 --> 00:52:24,564
Ever been
on a freedom bus before?

762
00:52:24,731 --> 00:52:26,024
- No, it's my first time.
- No?

763
00:52:26,190 --> 00:52:28,067
- How's your boyfriend feel about that?
- My boyfriend?

764
00:52:28,234 --> 00:52:31,946
Yeah. I mean,
this must upset him, right?

765
00:52:32,113 --> 00:52:33,781
You being on this bus down here.

766
00:52:33,948 --> 00:52:36,034
- I don't have a boyfriend.
- You don't have a boyfriend?

767
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,244
How do you not have a boyfriend?

768
00:52:42,790 --> 00:52:44,626
- You want some peanuts?
- No, thank you.

769
00:52:44,792 --> 00:52:47,253
- You like peanuts or...?
- I don't like peanuts.

770
00:52:47,420 --> 00:52:50,048
- I'm too hot to eat.
- Hey, can I have some of those?

771
00:52:50,214 --> 00:52:52,508
- Long bus ride.
- OK.

772
00:52:57,764 --> 00:53:00,475
Louis, what is that?

773
00:53:06,731 --> 00:53:10,360
- It's a cross. It's a cross.
- Driver, turn! Turn the bus!

774
00:53:13,821 --> 00:53:15,156
Oh, shit.

775
00:53:22,538 --> 00:53:24,040

exploded today.

00:58:06,155 --> 00:58:09,992
This is what's wrong with me.
This is wrong. This is wrong.

840
00:58:10,159 --> 00:58:13,371
- We ain't been wrong yet.
- I can't do this to Cecil.

841
00:58:13,537 --> 00:58:16,123
We ain't doing it to Cecil.
I'm doing it to you.

842
00:58:16,290 --> 00:58:18,834
I want you out of my house.

843
00:58:20,002 --> 00:58:23,005
Why do you think God brought us
next to each other each day?

844
00:58:23,172 --> 00:58:26,008
- God ain't got nothing to do with this.
- He put you right next door to me.

845
00:58:26,175 --> 00:58:28,636
You always talking about how
lonely you are without Cecil

846
00:58:28,803 --> 00:58:31,138
being at the White House,
and you need a man that can

847
00:58:31,305 --> 00:58:34,558
appreciate the love and the
woman that you are, like I do.

848
00:58:34,725 --> 00:58:37,311
I want your number-running
ass up out of my house,

849
00:58:37,478 --> 00:58:40,147
off of my sofa right now.

850
00:58:40,982 --> 00:58:43,526
I'm... I'm through.
I told you.

851
00:58:43,693 --> 00:58:45,194
Let me make
a demonstration for you.

852
00:58:45,361 --> 00:58:47,279
Don't come here with
this bullshit crazy talk.

853
00:58:47,446 --> 00:58:49,156
- It's not.
- Some more of this...

854
00:58:49,323 --> 00:58:51,659
This is you, right? You got
your direction that you move in.

855
00:58:51,826 --> 00:58:56,372
- What you doing with my hangers?
- This is you, and this is me.

856
00:58:56,539 --> 00:58:59,834
Now, we seem like we don't fit at all.
We just crash into each other.

857
00:59:00,001 --> 00:59:03,421
But then when
you align things properly,

858
00:59:03,587 --> 00:59:05,464
like God putting you
next door to me,

859
00:59:05,631 --> 00:59:08,926
everything kind of works out.

860
00:59:09,093 --> 00:59:12,930
And even if you slow down,
I got you.

861
00:59:14,098 --> 00:59:16,600
You need to get your yellow
ass up out of my house.

862
00:59:16,767 --> 00:59:19,478
- We need each other.
- What I need is my husband.

863
00:59:19,645 --> 00:59:22,356
And not to be laying up here
in the gutter with you.

864
00:59:34,243 --> 00:59:37,204
On average, how many pills do
you think I take a day, Cecil?

865
00:59:38,706 --> 00:59:41,959
About... 103, sir.

866
00:59:45,337 --> 00:59:48,591
- Help me up.
- Mr. President.

867
00:59:55,431 --> 00:59:58,184
I know your son is a Freedom Rider.

868
01:00:00,936 --> 01:00:04,565
He's in prison right now in Birmingham
with Martin Luther King.

869
01:00:11,030 --> 01:00:12,907
Do you, uh...

870
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,160
...you know how he is, sir?

871
01:00:16,327 --> 01:00:20,748
I'm guessing he's pretty beat up,
but based on his record,

872
01:00:20,915 --> 01:00:22,833
he must be used to it.

873
01:00:25,586 --> 01:00:28,964
Cecil, he's been arrested 16 times
over the past two years.

874
01:00:31,675 --> 01:00:33,385
Yes, sir.

875
01:00:37,932 --> 01:00:40,893
- Will that be all, sir?
- That's it.

876
01:00:44,355 --> 01:00:46,440
You know, I never understood

877
01:00:46,607 --> 01:00:48,484
what you all really went through...

878
01:00:50,069 --> 01:00:52,321
...until I saw that.

879
01:00:55,699 --> 01:00:57,576
My brother says these kids have...

880
01:00:59,954 --> 01:01:01,622
...changed his heart.

881
01:01:07,294 --> 01:01:09,421
They've changed mine, too.

882
01:01:13,300 --> 01:01:17,179
<i>The fires of discord are burning
in every city North and South,</i>

883
01:01:17,346 --> 01:01:20,057
<i>where legal remedies
are not at hand.</i>

884
01:01:20,224 --> 01:01:21,684
<i>Redress is sought in the streets,</i>

885
01:01:21,851 --> 01:01:25,479
<i>in demonstrations,
parades and protests.</i>

886
01:01:25,646 --> 01:01:27,898
<i>I am therefore
asking the Congress</i>

887
01:01:28,065 --> 01:01:29,942
<i>to enact legislation</i>

888
01:01:30,109 --> 01:01:32,987
giving all Americans the right
to be served in facilities

889
01:01:33,154 --> 01:01:34,488
which are open to the public.

890
01:01:34,655 --> 01:01:37,408
<i>Hotels, restaurants, theaters,</i>

<i>retail stores

892
01:01:40,744 --> 01:01:43,998
<i>This seems to me to be
an elementary right.</i>

893
01:01:44,165 --> 01:01:46,458
<i>Its denial is
an arbitrary indignity</i>

894
01:01:46,625 --> 01:01:50,963
<i>that no American in 1963
should have to endure, but many do.</i>

895
01:01:51,130 --> 01:01:53,632
<i>A great change is at hand.</i>

896
01:01:53,799 --> 01:01:58,053
<i>And our task, our obligation,
is to make that revolution,</i>

897
01:01:58,220 --> 01:02:03,100
<i>that change,
peaceful and constructive for all.</i>

898
01:02:03,267 --> 01:02:07,396
<i>Those who do nothing are
inviting shame as well as violence...</i>

899
01:02:29,043 --> 01:02:34,048
Hey. Hey, Cecil.
Cecil, what's wrong?

900
01:02:36,842 --> 01:02:38,719
Cecil?

901
01:02:41,555 --> 01:02:43,140
Cecil?

902
01:02:44,642 --> 01:02:46,393
They blew his...

903
01:02:47,519 --> 01:02:49,438
...head off.

904
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:56,278
- Who are you talking about?
- Kennedy.

905
01:03:02,826 --> 01:03:04,995
<i>President Kennedy was shot</i>

906
01:03:05,162 --> 01:03:07,706
<i>as he drove from Dallas airport
to downtown Dallas...</i>

907
01:03:07,873 --> 01:03:08,958
<i>They killed him.</i>

908
01:03:09,124 --> 01:03:12,503
<i>Governor Connally of Texas
in the car with him was also shot.</i>

909
01:03:12,670 --> 01:03:15,172
<i>It is reported that
three bullets rang out.</i>

<i>A Secret Serviceman has been...</i>

911
01:03:17,549 --> 01:03:20,010
<i>They killed our man.</i>

<i>"He's dead." Whether he
referred to President Kennedy or not</i>

913
01:03:23,389 --> 01:03:25,099

914
01:03:25,266 --> 01:03:28,560
<i>The president, cradled in the
arms of his wife, Mrs. Kennedy,</i>

915
01:03:28,727 --> 01:03:31,272
<i>was carried to an ambulance
and the car rushed</i>

916
01:03:31,438 --> 01:03:33,315
<i>to Parkland Hospital outside Dallas...</i>

917
01:03:33,482 --> 01:03:37,152
<i>Mrs. Kennedy refused
to change her clothes,</i>

918
01:03:37,319 --> 01:03:41,824
<i>so that everybody could see
what they did to her husband.</i>

919
01:03:49,665 --> 01:03:52,751
<i>The last time
I saw that much blood</i>

920
01:03:52,918 --> 01:03:55,838
<i>was the day my daddy was killed.</i>

921
01:04:04,430 --> 01:04:07,224
Please tell me how I could help you.

922
01:04:44,970 --> 01:04:47,014
Ma, what you doing?

923
01:04:48,515 --> 01:04:52,144
Here. Want you to take this box
and put it in the basement.

924
01:04:52,311 --> 01:04:54,480
- Make sure you label it "trophies."
- This is Louis' stuff, Ma.

925
01:04:54,646 --> 01:04:56,148
You know he gonna be pissed.

926
01:04:56,315 --> 01:04:58,025
I don't care nothing about
Louis being pissed.

927
01:04:58,192 --> 01:05:00,319
I'm the one pissed.
He ain't been here in three years.

928
01:05:00,486 --> 01:05:02,029
Why you pissed, Mama?

929
01:05:02,196 --> 01:05:03,864
And don't put that next
to myjarred okra either.

930
01:05:04,031 --> 01:05:05,657
Ain't nobody trying to smell
that stankin' okra.

931
01:05:05,824 --> 01:05:07,743
And when you come back, I want
you to get me some fish food.

932
01:05:26,637 --> 01:05:29,348
Look what the president...

933
01:05:29,515 --> 01:05:31,183
...Mrs. Kennedy gave me.

934
01:05:31,350 --> 01:05:33,519
Belonged to the president.

935
01:05:36,397 --> 01:05:38,023
Gloria...

936
01:05:39,191 --> 01:05:40,776
President was killed.

937
01:05:42,444 --> 01:05:44,655
I'm really sorry about the president.

938
01:05:45,531 --> 01:05:47,408
I really am.

939
01:05:47,574 --> 01:05:49,910
But you and that White House
can kiss my ass.

940
01:05:50,077 --> 01:05:51,829
I don't care what
goes on in that house.

941
01:05:51,995 --> 01:05:54,039
I care about what goes on in this house.

942
01:05:57,292 --> 01:06:00,921
"I'll Close My Eyes"]

943
01:06:32,578 --> 01:06:37,791
<i>I knew that Gloria had been
unhappy for some time now.</i>

944
01:06:38,959 --> 01:06:41,670
<i>I knew that's probably
why she drank.</i>

945
01:06:43,172 --> 01:06:46,216
<i>She wanted me to get along
better with Louis.</i>

946
01:06:47,759 --> 01:06:49,928
<i>I didn't know how.</i>

947
01:06:50,095 --> 01:06:51,638
<i>I couldn't.</i>

948
01:06:52,639 --> 01:06:56,768
<i>I could cut back them
long hours at the White House.</i>

949
01:06:56,935 --> 01:06:59,188
<i>And I did just that.</i>

950
01:06:59,354 --> 01:07:01,440
How many pairs of shoes she got?

951
01:07:01,607 --> 01:07:04,485
She got about... 125.

952
01:07:04,651 --> 01:07:07,154
- A hundred twenty-five pairs of shoes?
- Yeah.

953
01:07:07,321 --> 01:07:12,034
Put them in a line from the blacks
all the way to the whites.

954
01:07:12,409 --> 01:07:15,996
And I'll tell you what. Next time
there's a light on in an empty room,

955
01:07:16,163 --> 01:07:19,166
I will fire every sorry son of a bitch
in this house. I mean it, Cecil!

956
01:07:19,333 --> 01:07:22,461
Go back to Texas and run the country
from a dirt shack if I have to.

957
01:07:22,628 --> 01:07:24,004
Is that what you want?

958
01:07:24,171 --> 01:07:25,756
Who do you think pays the
goddamned bills around here?

959
01:07:25,923 --> 01:07:27,257
Idon%,butyou
know what I mean.

960
01:07:27,424 --> 01:07:28,717
Yes, sir.

961
01:07:29,885 --> 01:07:32,596
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.

962
01:07:32,763 --> 01:07:35,849
Lady Bird and I want you to have this.

963
01:07:36,016 --> 01:07:39,311
- Matches your eyes.
- Thank you, sir.

964
01:07:42,231 --> 01:07:44,316
- Get it, Gloria.
- Do it, baby.

965
01:07:44,483 --> 01:07:46,902
Swim it! Go ahead, Gloria.

966
01:07:47,069 --> 01:07:51,198
- I see you, baby.
- You see me, babe? Put it on.

968
01:07:54,618 --> 01:07:56,328
Get it, Gloria.

969
01:07:56,495 --> 01:07:59,248
- Now that's what I'm talking about.
- Get it, girl! Shake it out! Get it!

970
01:08:03,752 --> 01:08:06,004
Negro! Get out here.

971
01:08:06,171 --> 01:08:07,798
Back there stinking up
my bathroom.

972
01:08:07,965 --> 01:08:09,591
- Oh, Lord.
- Oh, Lord.

973
01:08:09,758 --> 01:08:11,051
What you doing?

974
01:08:11,218 --> 01:08:13,178
Hey! Whoo!

975
01:08:13,345 --> 01:08:15,472
What?

976
01:08:15,639 --> 01:08:16,890
Get you some!

977
01:08:18,725 --> 01:08:21,019
- You know.
- That's your friend.

978
01:08:22,813 --> 01:08:25,274
Give me my wig!
What's wrong with you?!

979
01:08:25,440 --> 01:08:28,193
- This my good wig!
- Oh, shit!

980
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,029
- Sit down.
- We got the spades up.

981
01:08:31,196 --> 01:08:32,656
Brotherjust handling his business.

982
01:08:32,823 --> 01:08:34,491
He can still do the splits,
I'll tell you.

983
01:08:34,658 --> 01:08:36,868
James told me
that Dr. King told the president

984
01:08:37,035 --> 01:08:40,080
that we would be going to the streets
down South for our right to vote.

985
01:08:40,247 --> 01:08:41,957
- Didn't you, baby?
- What?

986
01:08:42,124 --> 01:08:44,167
Didn't you tell me
that Dr. King told the president

987
01:08:44,334 --> 01:08:46,378
that we was going down South
for our right to vote?

988
01:08:46,545 --> 01:08:49,089
- I ain't make that up.
- Is that what you heard?

989
01:08:49,256 --> 01:08:51,383
That Dr. King ain't no joke,
with his little militant ass.

990
01:08:51,550 --> 01:08:53,927
- She talking too damned much.
- Well, sound like somebody talking.

991
01:08:54,094 --> 01:08:55,012
Shut up.

992
01:08:55,220 --> 01:08:57,681
- Leave my bird alone.
- Well, you know them three kids

993
01:08:57,848 --> 01:09:00,601
got killed down there, trying to get
colored folks registered to vote.

994
01:09:00,767 --> 01:09:02,102
That's why I didn't want
Louis to go down there.

995
01:09:02,269 --> 01:09:03,687
That's what I was
trying to tell you.

996
01:09:03,854 --> 01:09:05,188
You shouldn't have
sent him down there.

997
01:09:05,355 --> 01:09:07,399
- I know.
- He is down there now,

998
01:09:07,566 --> 01:09:09,443
and there ain't nothing
we can do about it.

999
01:09:09,610 --> 01:09:11,153
The only reason
the president sent the FBI

1000
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:12,529
is 'cause two of them were white.

1001
01:09:12,696 --> 01:09:15,574
- Now who told you that?
- Yeah, who told her that?

1002
01:09:15,741 --> 01:09:19,411
It was in one of them colored newspapers
from Baltimore. That all right with you?

1003
01:09:19,578 --> 01:09:21,913
See, she getting smart now.

1004
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,207
Honey, you think the president
ought to do something

1005
01:09:24,374 --> 01:09:26,793
- about the Voting Rights bill?
- That ain't the trump.

1006
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,462
President Johnson
just passed the greatest piece

1007
01:09:28,629 --> 01:09:31,632
of civil rights legislation
since Lincoln freed the slaves.

1008
01:09:31,798 --> 01:09:34,259
It's gonna be very difficult to
pass another bill anytime soon.

1009
01:09:34,426 --> 01:09:36,637
- That's it.
- You see how my wife quizzes me?

1010
01:09:36,803 --> 01:09:39,765
- I get it every day.
- Only, you got to know

1011
01:09:39,931 --> 01:09:41,975
how much to say,
when you cross the line.

1012
01:09:42,142 --> 01:09:43,685
You deal with your woman,
I'll deal with mine.

1013
01:09:43,852 --> 01:09:45,896
At least you tell your wife
what's going on over there.

1014
01:09:46,063 --> 01:09:47,481
- Aces!
- Damn!

1015
01:09:47,648 --> 01:09:49,775
Can't be a king
in your own castle.

1016
01:09:49,941 --> 01:09:51,943
You hit the strip joint,
that's what I say.

1017
01:09:52,110 --> 01:09:55,656
Hey, uh, Glo. Did you hear about
your neighbor, Howard?

1018
01:09:57,908 --> 01:10:02,704
Guy down on 8th Street,
caught him in bed with his wife.

1019
01:10:02,871 --> 01:10:04,331
Shot him dead.

1020
01:10:04,498 --> 01:10:07,668
- Shot him in the back.
- That's it. That's all of it.

1021
01:10:07,834 --> 01:10:11,922
I don't know, maybe he got
what he deserved.

1022
01:10:13,256 --> 01:10:15,175
<i>You sorry sap asses
got to realize</i>

1023
01:10:15,342 --> 01:10:17,260
the Negro ain't gonna take it no more.

1024
01:10:17,427 --> 01:10:19,262
This entire country is a tinderbox.

1025
01:10:19,429 --> 01:10:22,849
Goddamn tinderbox of nigger rage
just waiting to explode!

1026
01:10:23,016 --> 01:10:25,143
Now, I want you all
to get on the phone,

1027
01:10:25,310 --> 01:10:27,521
call the NAACP, CORE
and whoever else

1028
01:10:27,688 --> 01:10:29,189
will listen to your sorry asses

1029
01:10:29,356 --> 01:10:31,566
and help me keep them Negroes
off the street.

1030
01:10:31,733 --> 01:10:34,820
Buck, I smell your ass from here!
What the hell are you waiting for?!

1031
01:10:34,986 --> 01:10:37,906
Jesus Christ.

1032
01:10:38,073 --> 01:10:40,784
Cecil, get me some of
that goddamned prune juice.

1033
01:10:46,915 --> 01:10:49,835
I'm not sure what to make
of Malcolm X.

1034
01:10:50,001 --> 01:10:51,503
I know what to make of him.

1035
01:10:51,670 --> 01:10:53,672
Got a better plan
in place than Dr. King.

1036
01:10:53,839 --> 01:10:57,050
If someone puts their hands on
you, put them in the cemetery.

1037
01:10:57,217 --> 01:11:00,345
- That a better plan?
- Ooh, We fixin' to go.

1038
01:11:00,512 --> 01:11:01,805
Bye, Claramay.

1039
01:11:01,972 --> 01:11:03,890
- Good night.
- Good night.

1040
01:11:05,517 --> 01:11:07,310
I mean...

1041
01:11:09,730 --> 01:11:12,649
You just mad 'cause he was
talking about your daddy.

1042
01:11:12,816 --> 01:11:14,735
What?

1043
01:11:14,901 --> 01:11:16,903
He was saying all that
stuff about house Negroes.

1044
01:11:17,070 --> 01:11:18,989
I saw you get mad.

1045
01:11:19,156 --> 01:11:21,408
My dad is not a house Negro.

1046
01:11:25,245 --> 01:11:28,123
- He a butler, ain't he?
- Don't talk about my dad.

1047
01:11:28,290 --> 01:11:30,667
I don't talk about your dad,
all right?

1048
01:11:30,834 --> 01:11:32,669
That's 'cause my daddy's
proud of what I'm doing.

1049
01:11:46,558 --> 01:11:48,351
You all right?

1050
01:12:30,936 --> 01:12:35,398
<i>Everybody went to church to
raise money for the kids down in Selma.</i>

1051
01:12:36,233 --> 01:12:40,737
<i>But I didn't go. I wasn't gonna give
money to pay for my son to be killed.</i>

1052
01:12:48,203 --> 01:12:51,915
<i>Once again, them kids got beat.</i>

1053
01:12:52,082 --> 01:12:57,045
<i>This one was so bad that the press
called it "Bloody Sunday."</i>

1054
01:12:57,212 --> 01:12:59,089
<i>They barely left Selma.</i>

1055
01:12:59,256 --> 01:13:01,883
<i>They marched in small groups
through the city of Selma</i>

1056
01:13:02,050 --> 01:13:03,760
<i>- and were not stopped...
- ...mortars and rockets...</i>

1057
01:13:03,927 --> 01:13:05,929
<i>...can pound Con Thien
around the clock</i>

1058
01:13:06,096 --> 01:13:07,764
<i>with devastating effect.</i>

1059
01:13:07,931 --> 01:13:09,599
<i>And our ground troops
cannot go into...</i>

1060
01:13:09,766 --> 01:13:11,518
<i>...it was a different story.</i>

1061
01:13:11,685 --> 01:13:14,354
<i>Mounted sheriff's deputies
helped to break up the column.</i>

1062
01:13:14,521 --> 01:13:16,231
<i>Once the line was broken...</i>

1063
01:13:16,398 --> 01:13:18,817
How are your boys, Cecil?

1064
01:13:26,616 --> 01:13:31,037
I don't know how my oldest is,
Mr. President.

1065
01:13:31,204 --> 01:13:33,456
I believe he might
be in Selma.

1066
01:13:33,623 --> 01:13:36,084
And, you know,
sometime I feel like

1067
01:13:36,251 --> 01:13:38,503
we're living in
two different worlds.

1068
01:13:40,797 --> 01:13:42,883
Just want to keep him safe.

1069
01:13:44,217 --> 01:13:46,928
<i>...marchers were
treated for tear gas burns,</i>

1070
01:13:47,095 --> 01:13:48,638
<i>open wounds and broken bones.</i>

1071
01:13:48,805 --> 01:13:50,223
<i>One hospital treated...</i>

1072
01:13:50,390 --> 01:13:56,104
<i>Every American citizen
must have an equal right to vote.</i>

1073
01:13:56,271 --> 01:14:00,609
<i>Yet the harsh fact is that
in many places in this country,</i>

1074
01:14:00,775 --> 01:14:05,155
<i>men and women
are kept from voting</i>

1075
01:14:05,322 --> 01:14:07,866
<i>simply because they are Negroes.</i>

1076
01:14:08,033 --> 01:14:09,743
"Negroes?"

1077
01:14:09,910 --> 01:14:12,370
Since when did he start
calling us Negroes?

1078
01:14:13,455 --> 01:14:15,373
That nigger uses the word
"nigger" more than I use it.

1079
01:14:16,708 --> 01:14:19,336
<i>But really it's all of us...</i>

1080
01:14:19,502 --> 01:14:24,507
<i>...who must overcome
the crippling legacy</i>

1081
01:14:24,674 --> 01:14:27,677
<i>of bigotry and injustice.</i>

1082
01:14:27,844 --> 01:14:30,388
<i>And we shall overcome.</i>

1083
01:14:35,602 --> 01:14:37,354
<i>First,
a barrage of cover fire,</i>

1084
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:39,397
<i>and then a charge across the street.</i>

1085
01:14:39,564 --> 01:14:42,150
<i>The Marines moved out from
the fortified Army compound</i>

1086
01:14:42,317 --> 01:14:43,944
<i>blitzed by the original attack.</i>

1087
01:14:44,110 --> 01:14:45,862
<i>Hey, hey, LBJ!</i>

1088
01:14:46,029 --> 01:14:48,239
<i>How many kids
did you kill today?!</i>

1089
01:14:48,406 --> 01:14:50,450
<i>Hey,hey,LBJ!</i>

1090
01:14:50,617 --> 01:14:52,369
<i>How many kids
did you kill today?!</i>

1091
01:14:52,535 --> 01:14:54,037
<i>...the ancient imperial city.</i>

1092
01:14:54,204 --> 01:14:57,457
<i>It is to Vietnamese
what old Boston is to Americans,</i>

1093
01:14:57,624 --> 01:15:00,460
<i>where many of its country's
leaders are born or educated.</i>

1094
01:15:00,627 --> 01:15:03,505
I wish they'd shut up.

1095
01:15:03,672 --> 01:15:06,800
<i>The first sniper shots ricochet
around the thick walls of the building,</i>

1096
01:15:06,967 --> 01:15:10,679
<i>taking the first casualties
of the first squad.</i>

1097
01:15:10,845 --> 01:15:12,806
<i>The snipers may be
only two or three,</i>

1098
01:15:13,390 --> 01:15:15,558
<i>invisible to the buildings
beyond the wall.</i>

1099
01:15:15,725 --> 01:15:18,103
<i>But there is also a machine gun
down the street to the left.</i>

1100
01:15:18,269 --> 01:15:22,732
Dr. King, you might want to
lie down with that fever.

1101
01:15:23,650 --> 01:15:28,238
President Johnson is making
a tragic error in Vietnam.

1102
01:15:28,405 --> 01:15:31,074
Move over, big yellow.

1103
01:15:31,241 --> 01:15:33,326
Why shouldn't we fight in Vietnam?

1104
01:15:33,493 --> 01:15:35,578
The Vietcong don't call us
"niggers," for one.

1105
01:15:38,873 --> 01:15:42,335
Seriously, how many of
your parents support the war?

1106
01:15:43,670 --> 01:15:48,133
Well, my Lord.
Why do your parents support it?

1107
01:15:49,259 --> 01:15:52,429
We haven't spoken about it specifically,
I just know they do.

1108
01:15:52,595 --> 01:15:55,724
Well, what do your daddy do?

1109
01:15:55,890 --> 01:15:59,102
He's a butler.

1110
01:15:59,269 --> 01:16:02,439
The black domestic play an
important role in our history.

1111
01:16:02,605 --> 01:16:04,691
I didn't tell you that
to make fun of me.

1112
01:16:04,858 --> 01:16:08,570
Young brother, the black
domestic defy racial stereotypes

1113
01:16:08,737 --> 01:16:11,990
by being hardworking and trustworthy.

1114
01:16:17,912 --> 01:16:19,706
<i>He slowly
tears down racial hatred</i>

1115
01:16:19,873 --> 01:16:25,962
<i>with his example of a strong work ethic
and dignified character.</i>

1116
01:16:29,174 --> 01:16:33,136
Now, while we perceive the butler
or the maid to be subservient,

1117
01:16:33,303 --> 01:16:37,766
in many ways, they are subversive,
without even knowing it.

1118
01:16:40,810 --> 01:16:44,355
- Come in, Cecil.
- Afternoon, Mr. Warner.

1119
01:16:48,902 --> 01:16:50,695
Thank you for seeing me.

1120
01:17:05,668 --> 01:17:08,046
Since the colored...

1121
01:17:08,213 --> 01:17:10,256
...the black staff

1122
01:17:10,423 --> 01:17:13,843
does just as much work
as the white staff,

1123
01:17:14,010 --> 01:17:18,348
I believe that our salaries
should reflect our service, sir.

1124
01:17:20,266 --> 01:17:21,893
"Black" staff?

1125
01:17:23,186 --> 01:17:26,773
I also feel
that we should have...

1126
01:17:28,650 --> 01:17:32,737
...opportunities of advancement.

1127
01:17:32,904 --> 01:17:35,490
No black houseman

1128
01:17:35,657 --> 01:17:39,577
has ever been promoted
to the engineer's office.

1129
01:17:41,871 --> 01:17:44,624
You're very well liked here, Cecil.

1130
01:17:44,791 --> 01:17:46,793
But if you're unhappy
with your salary or position,

1131
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,170
then I suggest you seek
employment elsewhere.

1132
01:17:49,337 --> 01:17:51,339
- With all due respect...
- Don't let that Martin Luther King shit

1133
01:17:51,506 --> 01:17:55,677
fill your britches out.
Just remember where I found you.

1134
01:18:03,810 --> 01:18:05,603
Yes, sir.

1135
01:18:12,235 --> 01:18:13,736
Excuse me.

1136
01:18:22,662 --> 01:18:25,874
<i>Dr. Martin Luther King,
the apostle of non-violence</i>

1137
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:29,878
<i>in the civil rights movement has been
shot to death in Memphis, Tennessee.</i>

1138
01:18:30,044 --> 01:18:32,297
<i>Police have issued
an All Points Bulletin</i>

1139
01:18:32,463 --> 01:18:35,508
<i>for a well-dressed, young white
man seen running from the scene.</i>

1140
01:18:35,675 --> 01:18:38,469
<i>Officers also reportedly
chased and fired on</i>

1141
01:18:38,636 --> 01:18:41,472
<i>a radio-equipped car
containing two white men.</i>

1142
01:19:08,541 --> 01:19:12,378
<i>I didn't know if I was
gonna get home alive.</i>

1143
01:19:14,088 --> 01:19:18,218
<i>It was the first time I felt like
I didn't belong in my own neighborhood.</i>

1144
01:19:19,844 --> 01:19:21,638
<i>The whole world was changing,</i>

1145
01:19:21,804 --> 01:19:24,390
<i>and I didn't know where I fit in.</i>

1146
01:19:26,059 --> 01:19:28,519
<i>Dr. King has been a buffer
the last two years,</i>

1147
01:19:28,686 --> 01:19:30,939
<i>between the black community
and the white community.</i>

1148
01:19:31,105 --> 01:19:32,398
<i>The white people do not know it,</i>

1149
01:19:32,565 --> 01:19:35,235
<i>but the white people's
best friend is dead.</i>

1150
01:19:35,401 --> 01:19:37,904
<i>The black people's leader, our Moses,</i>

1151
01:19:38,071 --> 01:19:41,282
<i>the once in a four-
or five-hundred year leader,</i>

1152
01:19:41,449 --> 01:19:43,952
<i>has been taken from us
by hatred and bitterness.</i>

1153
01:19:44,118 --> 01:19:45,828
<i>Even as I stand at this hour,</i>

1154
01:19:45,995 --> 01:19:50,416
<i>I cannot even allow hate
to enter my heart at this time,</i>

1155
01:19:50,583 --> 01:19:54,003
<i>for it was sickness,
not meanness, that killed him.</i>

1156
01:20:33,418 --> 01:20:36,629
Ma... my room's pink.

1157
01:20:41,050 --> 01:20:45,096
Make sure you get some more
of my sweet potatoes, Carol.

1158
01:20:45,263 --> 01:20:47,140
I use orange juice
when I make 'em,

1159
01:20:47,307 --> 01:20:49,434
that's what make 'em so... tart.

1160
01:20:51,227 --> 01:20:52,395
How long y'all been dating?

1161
01:20:52,562 --> 01:20:53,980
- Five years.
- We're just friends.

1162
01:20:59,527 --> 01:21:02,030
Is, uh,
all the rest of the students

1163
01:21:02,196 --> 01:21:04,282
are they getting involved
in politics, too?

1164
01:21:09,495 --> 01:21:12,248
There's been a division.
Kind of a split, Ma.

1165
01:21:12,415 --> 01:21:15,793
A few of them,
like John Lewis, they're still...

1166
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,213
- I love John Lewis.
- How you know who John Lewis is?

1167
01:21:19,380 --> 01:21:21,257
<i>'Cause, honey,
I read Jet magazine.</i>

1168
01:21:21,424 --> 01:21:24,344
I'm not just sitting up there
sewing for you all day.

1169
01:21:24,510 --> 01:21:26,137
Ooh.

1170
01:21:26,304 --> 01:21:29,140
I'm sick and tired of getting
thrown in jail.

1171
01:21:30,058 --> 01:21:31,684
Yeah, well, that makes
two of us, don't it?

1172
01:21:33,728 --> 01:21:36,272
Dr. King's philosophy ultimately
got him murdered.

1173
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,483
It worked when we started,

1174
01:21:38,649 --> 01:21:42,695
but... now it's time to take
the next step, which is politics.

1175
01:21:42,862 --> 01:21:44,447
So y'all going
to the White House now?

1176
01:21:44,614 --> 01:21:45,823
Daddy, Louis going
to the White House.

1177
01:21:45,990 --> 01:21:47,367
You know they ain't gonna
let you in there

1178
01:21:47,533 --> 01:21:48,951
with them nipples out.

1179
01:21:49,118 --> 01:21:51,162
Maybe one, but not both of 'em.

1180
01:21:51,329 --> 01:21:54,791
Shut up. Nah, we're...
we're more grass roots.

1181
01:21:54,957 --> 01:21:57,293
One-on-one with the community.

1182
01:21:57,460 --> 01:21:59,545
Although we have started
our own political party.

1183
01:21:59,712 --> 01:22:02,048
What's your party?

1184
01:22:02,215 --> 01:22:03,591
You like to party?

1185
01:22:03,758 --> 01:22:07,512
I like to party.
What's your party called?

1186
01:22:09,430 --> 01:22:11,432
The Black Panther Party.

1187
01:22:11,599 --> 01:22:15,895
What kind of name is that?
What's that stand for?

1188
01:22:16,062 --> 01:22:18,731
We... provide free breakfast
for children,

1189
01:22:18,898 --> 01:22:22,819
free medical clinics, free clothing,
self-defense classes.

1190
01:22:22,985 --> 01:22:25,238
And why y'all need self-defense?

1191
01:22:25,405 --> 01:22:27,073
We ain't gettin' beat no more.

1192
01:22:32,412 --> 01:22:34,747
Me and your daddy saw a
wonderful movie the other night.

1193
01:22:34,914 --> 01:22:36,541
Reminded me so much of you.

1194
01:22:36,707 --> 01:22:39,127
Oh, yeah?

1195
01:22:39,293 --> 01:22:41,170
What was the name
of that movie, honey?

1196
01:22:41,337 --> 01:22:42,964
<i>In the Heat of the Night.</i>

1197
01:22:44,132 --> 01:22:49,846
<i>In the Heat... of the Night,
with Sidney Poitier.</i>

1198
01:22:50,012 --> 01:22:52,432
Lord, Sidney Poitier.
I love Sidney Poitier.

1199
01:22:52,598 --> 01:22:55,977
Sidney Poitier's a white man's fantasy
of what he wants us to be.

1200
01:22:56,144 --> 01:22:59,647
But his movies have him
fighting for equal rights.

1201
01:22:59,814 --> 01:23:01,691
Only in a way that's acceptable
to the white status quo.

1202
01:23:01,858 --> 01:23:05,736
- Ah.
- The brother can't act.

1203
01:23:05,903 --> 01:23:07,697
What are you talking about?

1204
01:23:07,864 --> 01:23:09,490
He just won the Academy Award.

1205
01:23:09,657 --> 01:23:11,617
He's breaking down barriers
for all of us.

1206
01:23:11,784 --> 01:23:15,621
By being white.
By acting white.

1207
01:23:15,788 --> 01:23:18,374
Sidney Poitier is nothing but
a rich Uncle Tom.

1208
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:23,754
Look at you.

1209
01:23:23,921 --> 01:23:26,174
All puffed up.

1210
01:23:26,340 --> 01:23:28,384
With your hat on your head.

1211
01:23:28,551 --> 01:23:31,012
Coming in here,
saying whatever you want.

1212
01:23:31,179 --> 01:23:32,638
Girlfriend belching at the table.

1213
01:23:33,931 --> 01:23:35,349
You don't even feel
you gotta go to school,

1214
01:23:35,516 --> 01:23:37,518
even though I gave you the money.

1215
01:23:39,103 --> 01:23:41,230
You need to go.

1216
01:23:43,566 --> 01:23:47,195
Yeah, Louis.
I need you to get out of my house.

1217
01:23:47,361 --> 01:23:50,990
- What?
- Get the hell out of my house!

1218
01:23:51,157 --> 01:23:52,575
- What are you doing?
- Get on out!

1219
01:23:52,742 --> 01:23:54,494
- He's gotta go!
- No, Cecil, no!

1220
01:23:54,660 --> 01:23:56,454
- I can't take this no more!
- We ain't seen this boy!

1221
01:23:56,621 --> 01:23:57,872
We ain't seen this boy!

1222
01:23:58,039 --> 01:23:59,207
I'm gonna snatch the life
out of you, boy!

1223
01:23:59,373 --> 01:24:00,791
- Now, everybody just sit down.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Butler,

1224
01:24:00,958 --> 01:24:03,336
I didn't mean to make
fun of your hero.

1225
01:24:05,171 --> 01:24:08,508
Everything you are and
everything you have is...

1226
01:24:08,674 --> 01:24:10,927
...'cause of that butler.

1227
01:24:11,093 --> 01:24:14,347
Now you take that trifling
low-class bitch...

1228
01:24:16,390 --> 01:24:18,726
...and get out of this house.

1229
01:24:33,991 --> 01:24:35,952
I like Sidney Poitier, Daddy.

1230
01:24:38,454 --> 01:24:40,456
<i>What's that movie he did?
Look Who's Coming to Dinner?</i>

1231
01:24:40,623 --> 01:24:42,041
Everything ain't a joke.

1232
01:24:42,208 --> 01:24:44,627
- Carol came to dinner.
- Hush, Charlie.

1233
01:24:47,797 --> 01:24:50,466
<i>Police took Louis the next day.</i>

1234
01:24:56,806 --> 01:24:59,892
Y'all gonna make me late for work.

1235
01:25:00,059 --> 01:25:01,519
Unc, I'm sorry.

1236
01:25:01,686 --> 01:25:02,937
Who else I'm supposed to call
to bail him out?

1237
01:25:03,104 --> 01:25:06,732
What they got him in for this time?
Sit up!

1238
01:25:06,899 --> 01:25:10,486
Louis said they
stopped him just because.

1239
01:25:11,654 --> 01:25:13,656
Just because.

1240
01:25:14,740 --> 01:25:17,118
He said he wasn't going
to get beat no more, so...

1241
01:25:17,285 --> 01:25:19,912
...he got out the car
and he hit 'em back.

1242
01:25:20,079 --> 01:25:22,206
What about that little gal of his?

1243
01:25:23,165 --> 01:25:25,543
They put her in the hospital.

1244
01:25:25,710 --> 01:25:27,086
The hospital.

1245
01:25:27,253 --> 01:25:29,046
Charlie.

1246
01:25:29,213 --> 01:25:31,465
This shit's gotta stop, man.

1247
01:25:33,884 --> 01:25:35,845
I'm late for work.

1248
01:25:36,012 --> 01:25:37,930
You tell Louis I'm not his mama.

1249
01:25:38,097 --> 01:25:40,516
I want my money back.

1250
01:25:43,894 --> 01:25:45,771
You all right?

1251
01:25:45,938 --> 01:25:47,440
Yeah, I'm all right.

1252
01:25:48,733 --> 01:25:50,901
Thanks, Uncle Carter.

1253
01:25:51,068 --> 01:25:53,738
You need to take all this Black
Panther shit somewhere else.

1254
01:25:53,904 --> 01:25:56,741
Now, I'm not them.
I want my money back, hear me?

1255
01:25:56,907 --> 01:25:59,201
- Yes, sir.
- Every dime.

1256
01:26:00,828 --> 01:26:04,999
- Yes, sir.
- Hey, Unc... don't tell Daddy.

1257
01:26:12,715 --> 01:26:16,218
How you avoid all that sex
in prison?

1258
01:26:16,385 --> 01:26:18,429
Do they teach you that
with the Panthers?

1259
01:26:18,596 --> 01:26:22,183
They teach you how to... to sit...

1260
01:26:27,229 --> 01:26:31,192
- She been drinking again?
- No. She's sober.

1261
01:26:31,359 --> 01:26:34,612
She ain't doing nothing but sewing
and feeding them damn fishes.

1262
01:26:34,779 --> 01:26:37,156
Feed them more than she feed me.

1263
01:26:38,199 --> 01:26:40,660
You excited about
going back to Howard?

1264
01:26:40,826 --> 01:26:43,329
Excited about not going back.

1265
01:26:44,622 --> 01:26:46,957
- What?
- Yeah.

1266
01:26:47,124 --> 01:26:49,335
I'm going to Vietnam.

1267
01:26:49,502 --> 01:26:52,505
Charlie, don't do this.
Don't do this.

1268
01:26:52,672 --> 01:26:56,634
- This country treats us like dogs!
- And do what? Don't do this?

1269
01:26:58,678 --> 01:27:02,348
You fight your country.

1270
01:27:02,515 --> 01:27:04,892
I want to fight for my country.

1271
01:27:05,059 --> 01:27:08,229
- I won't go to your funeral.
- Good.

1272
01:27:08,396 --> 01:27:11,482
'Cause I don't want you there
with all of that...

1273
01:27:12,149 --> 01:27:16,362
...black leather and latex,

1274
01:27:16,529 --> 01:27:20,825
shining and taking away the attention
off of my pretty face in my casket.

1275
01:27:24,203 --> 01:27:26,414
What do they call you now, Louise?

1276
01:27:26,580 --> 01:27:28,207
- Shut up.
- Louise Gaines.

1277
01:27:28,374 --> 01:27:29,500
Charlie, shut up.

1278
01:27:29,875 --> 01:27:33,671
I want to know every goddamn
domestic policy decision right now,

1279
01:27:33,838 --> 01:27:35,172
and I want it on the table right now.

1280
01:27:35,339 --> 01:27:36,340
- OK.
- OK.

1281
01:27:36,507 --> 01:27:38,634
Did you get
the memos we sent last week?

1282
01:27:38,801 --> 01:27:42,972
John and I strongly agree
that the time calls for...

1283
01:27:43,139 --> 01:27:44,890
A goddamn fly,
a goddamn fly in here.

1284
01:27:45,057 --> 01:27:46,726
- Jesus Christ.
- John and I both think

1285
01:27:46,892 --> 01:27:50,312
that the time calls for
a period of benign neglect.

1286
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:51,647
- Benign neglect.
- Yes.

1287
01:27:51,814 --> 01:27:54,275
I like that. I like that.

1288
01:27:54,442 --> 01:27:57,945
<i>You know, the pigs in the
media describe us as terrorists.</i>

1289
01:27:58,112 --> 01:28:02,450
A terrorist is one who
terrorizes and frightens others.

1290
01:28:02,616 --> 01:28:05,161
We the ones getting terrorized.

1291
01:28:05,327 --> 01:28:07,246
How can we exist in, in peace,

1292
01:28:07,413 --> 01:28:10,458
when we scared to walk
down the street to the store?

1293
01:28:10,624 --> 01:28:13,002
All right, there's this whole black
power movement going on, right?

1294
01:28:13,169 --> 01:28:16,005
- Right.
- What if we, um...

1295
01:28:20,176 --> 01:28:22,303
What if Nixon promotes black power

1296
01:28:22,470 --> 01:28:26,348
to mean "black businesses"
and we find ways to support

1297
01:28:26,515 --> 01:28:29,894
black entrepreneurs, pass the buck
on desegregation to the courts.

1298
01:28:30,060 --> 01:28:32,605
Push black enterprise

1299
01:28:32,772 --> 01:28:34,523
to win the 2O percent
of the votes it could swing our way.

1300
01:28:34,690 --> 01:28:36,776
- Excellent, sir.
- Absolutely.

1301
01:28:36,942 --> 01:28:39,111
You don't know if your ceiling gonna
cave in 'cause your slum lord

1302
01:28:39,278 --> 01:28:41,781
too busy running around
collecting rent checks.

1303
01:28:41,947 --> 01:28:43,824
But he won't fix your roof.

1304
01:28:43,991 --> 01:28:47,620
It's time we take a stand
against these injustices

1305
01:28:47,787 --> 01:28:49,288
that have plagued our community.

1306
01:28:49,455 --> 01:28:53,000
They take one of ours,
we taking two of theirs.

1307
01:28:53,167 --> 01:28:54,794
- That's right.
- It's been time.

1308
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,713
We just need to make sure
that Nixon black power

1309
01:28:57,880 --> 01:28:59,799
doesn't equate Nixon
with the Black Panthers.

1310
01:28:59,965 --> 01:29:02,635
Have you lost your mind, man?
Did you read Hoover's last memo on that?

1311
01:29:02,802 --> 01:29:04,970
- That's my point.
- Goddamn terrifying.

1312
01:29:05,137 --> 01:29:07,556
No, no, no. I gave him the green light
to gut those sons of bitches.

1313
01:29:07,723 --> 01:29:09,058
- Good.
- Good. Absolutely.

1314
01:29:09,225 --> 01:29:11,769
No, round 'em all up and
throw 'em down an elevator shaft.

1315
01:29:14,355 --> 01:29:18,317
I don't proclaim to know everything.
But I promise you...

1316
01:29:19,235 --> 01:29:21,779
...they'll always beware
of the nigger with a gun.

1317
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,494
Will there be anything else,
Mr. President?

1318
01:29:39,588 --> 01:29:42,091
How many kids we got coming
to the breakfast tomorrow morning?

1319
01:29:42,258 --> 01:29:44,260
Got about 25 to 3O coming.

1320
01:29:44,426 --> 01:29:46,846
Twenty-five to 3O kids
will be able to go to school

1321
01:29:47,012 --> 01:29:48,931
and focus on their lessons.

1322
01:29:49,098 --> 01:29:51,517
'Cause they don't want us
to be able to feed our kids.

1323
01:29:51,684 --> 01:29:55,020
They don't want us
to be able to protect ourselves.

1324
01:30:01,777 --> 01:30:03,487
What are we doing here?

1325
01:30:05,531 --> 01:30:08,200
Thought this was going to be
our community service.

1326
01:30:08,367 --> 01:30:10,911
This is community service.

1327
01:30:11,078 --> 01:30:13,455
"Someone kills one of ours,
we kill two of theirs?"

1328
01:30:13,622 --> 01:30:15,291
Community protection.

1329
01:30:15,457 --> 01:30:19,044
Are you ready to kill somebody, Carol?

1330
01:30:20,796 --> 01:30:22,882
'Cause I ain't.

1331
01:30:24,383 --> 01:30:26,552
I am.

1332
01:30:33,225 --> 01:30:35,144
Did you ever love me, baby?

1333
01:31:00,794 --> 01:31:03,881
<i>Today, a day after police
shot it outwith the Black Panthers,</i>

1341
01:31:49,343 --> 01:31:50,928
- Hey, baby-
- Hey.

1342
01:31:51,095 --> 01:31:53,097
- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday to me, huh?

1343
01:31:53,263 --> 01:31:54,556
Happy birthday to you.

1344
01:31:57,726 --> 01:31:59,520
Right now, this is the present
I want, right here.

1345
01:31:59,687 --> 01:32:01,981
Well, you want it right here?

1346
01:32:02,147 --> 01:32:04,066
Mm-mm, you know right...

1347
01:32:04,233 --> 01:32:05,985
- Right here?
- Kids up... Kids down...?

1348
01:32:06,151 --> 01:32:08,112
Ain't no kids in the house no more.

1349
01:32:08,278 --> 01:32:10,030
Hey, I made you a birthday cake.

1350
01:32:10,197 --> 01:32:12,157
I got all the cake
I want right here.

1351
01:32:12,324 --> 01:32:14,034
No, you crazy.

1352
01:32:14,201 --> 01:32:17,037
I got some champagne
cooling in the icebox.

1353
01:32:17,204 --> 01:32:18,998
And some ice cream, too.
Get some ice cream.

1354
01:32:19,164 --> 01:32:20,582
You gonna be drinking with me?

1355
01:32:22,001 --> 01:32:23,836
You know I don't drink.

1356
01:32:24,003 --> 01:32:25,838
I don't drink.

1357
01:32:26,005 --> 01:32:27,339
Just playing with you.

1358
01:32:27,506 --> 01:32:29,508
I just want to see you move
a little bit. Go ahead.

1359
01:32:31,051 --> 01:32:34,179
<i>' 9h, my God!</i>

1360
01:32:41,145 --> 01:32:43,313
We get any mail
from Charlie today?

1361
01:32:45,274 --> 01:32:46,859
No.

1362
01:32:48,444 --> 01:32:50,112
- No?
- Haven't heard from Charlie.

1363
01:32:50,279 --> 01:32:52,239
I know. I got an idea.

1364
01:32:52,406 --> 01:32:54,491
I think we should go
to Shantay's tonight.

1365
01:32:54,658 --> 01:32:56,744
Oh, no.
No, I'm too old for disco.

1366
01:32:56,910 --> 01:32:58,078
We not old. Come on. We ain't old.

1367
01:32:58,245 --> 01:32:59,955
I just don't feel like
doing no disco.

1368
01:33:00,122 --> 01:33:01,874
Our boys are gone.
It's just you and me.

1369
01:33:02,041 --> 01:33:05,919
You and me, we are free.
I forgot this. I forgot this.

1370
01:33:07,254 --> 01:33:12,176
Now, look at us.
Little happy birthday present.

1371
01:33:13,802 --> 01:33:15,596
I want you to go put it on, upstairs.

1372
01:33:15,763 --> 01:33:17,681
- Put it on?
- Yeah. Go put it on.

1373
01:33:17,848 --> 01:33:19,600
- All right.
- Make it snappy.

1374
01:33:19,767 --> 01:33:22,019
Bring down my sewing kit,
'cause I need to do some alterations.

1375
01:33:26,148 --> 01:33:28,442
Make it snappy!

1376
01:33:32,362 --> 01:33:34,323
Hello.

1377
01:33:36,700 --> 01:33:38,619
Hi. Where are you?

1378
01:33:39,620 --> 01:33:41,288
Where?

1379
01:33:42,498 --> 01:33:44,666
You should call me back,
because this is not a good time.

1380
01:33:44,833 --> 01:33:47,961
- He's home again.
- It fit!

1381
01:33:48,128 --> 01:33:49,630
- We gonna go on out tonight.
- Where?

1382
01:33:49,797 --> 01:33:51,715
- He's home and...
- Boy, you good, aren't you?

1383
01:33:51,882 --> 01:33:54,551
- You all right?
- Who that?

1384
01:33:54,718 --> 01:33:56,804
Call me back.

1385
01:33:56,970 --> 01:33:58,847
- OK?
- Oh, it's Louis.

1386
01:33:59,014 --> 01:34:00,599
He asking for some money?

1387
01:34:03,143 --> 01:34:04,686
Hey, Louis.

1388
01:34:06,146 --> 01:34:08,023
I didn't expect to hear
from you on my birthday.

1389
01:34:09,108 --> 01:34:11,026
You should feel
ashamed of yourself.

1390
01:34:11,193 --> 01:34:13,904
You're a grown-ass man calling
your mama, asking for money.

1391
01:34:14,071 --> 01:34:16,615
And guess what?
It's the butler's money.

1392
01:34:16,782 --> 01:34:18,325
It's Uncle Tom's money.

1393
01:34:18,492 --> 01:34:20,536
And he ain't giving
none out today.

1394
01:34:22,162 --> 01:34:23,664
Bye.

1395
01:34:27,292 --> 01:34:28,877
I got it.

1396
01:34:40,013 --> 01:34:41,682
You got the wrong house.

1397
01:34:47,020 --> 01:34:48,605
It's the wrong house.

1398
01:35:46,288 --> 01:35:48,957
<i>Vietnam took my boy,</i>

1399
01:35:49,124 --> 01:35:52,628
<i>and I didn't understand why we
were there in the first place.</i>

1400
01:36:25,285 --> 01:36:27,371
Your father still alive, Cecil?

1401
01:36:28,997 --> 01:36:30,958
No, sir.

1402
01:36:31,124 --> 01:36:33,418
My father died when I was a child.

1403
01:36:40,634 --> 01:36:45,305
Is there anything else that you
would like, Mr. President?

1404
01:36:45,472 --> 01:36:47,432
Yeah. Come sit.

1405
01:36:47,599 --> 01:36:49,393
Sit down, you know?

1406
01:37:08,287 --> 01:37:11,498
There's been a lot of talk
of me resigning and...

1407
01:37:12,374 --> 01:37:14,334
...things of that nature,
but I just want you to know

1408
01:37:14,501 --> 01:37:16,253
it's never gonna happen.

1409
01:37:18,005 --> 01:37:20,549
I'm gonna come out of this thing
stronger than ever.

1410
01:37:27,889 --> 01:37:30,517
Is there anything else
that you would like...

1411
01:37:30,684 --> 01:37:32,144
...Mr. President?

1412
01:37:39,026 --> 01:37:41,361
Louis is here, looking for you.

1413
01:37:46,033 --> 01:37:49,411
- Got everybody all worried.
- Well, I finished school.

1414
01:37:49,578 --> 01:37:50,787
I got my master's
in political science.

1415
01:37:50,954 --> 01:37:53,915
Hey! That's what I'm talking about.

1416
01:37:54,082 --> 01:37:56,376
Get that education.

1417
01:37:56,543 --> 01:38:00,547
There he is!
Well, I'm gonna let you all to it.

1418
01:38:00,714 --> 01:38:03,050
Ain't no need for that, Carter.

1419
01:38:04,801 --> 01:38:08,513
- Hey, Dad.
- Get out of here, Louis.

1420
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:15,604
- Dad...
- I said leave.

1421
01:38:24,279 --> 01:38:25,989
Keep doing what you doing.

1422
01:38:28,533 --> 01:38:31,620
Thank you, Uncle Carter.

1423
01:38:33,872 --> 01:38:37,334
Why you do that? Huh?
That was wrong.

1424
01:38:37,501 --> 01:38:40,212
That boy's hurting, too. He's just
trying to get his act together.

1425
01:38:40,379 --> 01:38:42,589
He should be hurting, Carter.

1426
01:38:43,590 --> 01:38:46,551
Boy didn't even go
to his own brother's funeral.

1427
01:38:47,552 --> 01:38:52,432
He's full of shit is what he is.
He ain't doing nothing right.

1428
01:38:52,599 --> 01:38:55,435
He just got his master's!
What more you want him to do?

1429
01:38:55,602 --> 01:38:59,856
Every gray hair I have
is 'cause of that boy.

1430
01:39:11,660 --> 01:39:13,745
<i>The years started to drift by,</i>

1431
01:39:13,912 --> 01:39:17,499
<i>but the pain in my heart
never went away.</i>

1432
01:39:21,420 --> 01:39:24,798
"You and I Ain't Nothin' No More"]

1433
01:39:26,675 --> 01:39:30,887
<i>Through it all,
Louis and I never spoke.</i>

1434
01:39:35,308 --> 01:39:39,938
<i>As we are a nation under God,
so I am sworn...</i>

1435
01:40:00,375 --> 01:40:01,626
<i>Half of our
oil is now imported...</i>

1436
01:40:01,793 --> 01:40:03,837
<i>It is a crisis that strikes
at the very hear':</i>

1437
01:40:04,004 --> 01:40:06,256
<i>and soul and spirit
of our national will.</i>

1438
01:40:06,423 --> 01:40:08,091
<i>- I feel one coming now.
- Not to worry.</i>

1439
01:40:08,258 --> 01:40:09,926
<i>Two of you,
stay home until you feel better.</i>

1440
01:40:10,093 --> 01:40:14,389
<i>OK, Barn, I'll stay.
But I ain't never gonna feel no better.</i>

1441
01:40:22,939 --> 01:40:26,776
<i>In our district alone,
we have nine percent unemployment.</i>

1442
01:40:26,943 --> 01:40:29,571
<i>In the country at large, 14 percent
are living below the poverty line.</i>

1443
01:40:29,738 --> 01:40:32,949
<i>Sixty percent of those
are either black or Hispanic.</i>

1444
01:40:33,116 --> 01:40:35,785
<i>Now, if I'm voted to Congress,
reducing those figures is gonna be</i>

1445
01:40:35,952 --> 01:40:39,080
one of my primary objectives.

1446
01:40:42,626 --> 01:40:44,127
Yeah?

1447
01:40:44,294 --> 01:40:46,046
Oh, hey.

1448
01:40:46,213 --> 01:40:47,964
Thanks for getting back to me.

1449
01:40:52,093 --> 01:40:53,887
How much did he lose by?

1450
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,726
Really?

1451
01:40:59,893 --> 01:41:01,520
All right, then.

1452
01:41:01,686 --> 01:41:03,480
I appreciate it.

1453
01:41:08,443 --> 01:41:10,362
No, he didn't win.

1454
01:41:12,239 --> 01:41:14,491
I think you should call him.

1455
01:41:16,785 --> 01:41:19,788
Right after Charlie passed,

1456
01:41:19,955 --> 01:41:22,457
Louis came over
and paid me a visit.

1457
01:41:22,624 --> 01:41:24,251
Hmm.

1458
01:41:25,835 --> 01:41:29,256
He found me on the kitchen floor.

1459
01:41:29,422 --> 01:41:31,675
I had passed out.

1460
01:41:31,841 --> 01:41:33,843
Drunk.

1461
01:41:34,010 --> 01:41:37,722
I'd gone to the bathroom
all over myself.

1462
01:41:40,850 --> 01:41:43,228
He's the one that cleaned me up.

1463
01:41:46,565 --> 01:41:50,527
And then he told me
I was the best mother

1464
01:41:50,694 --> 01:41:53,488
anybody could ever want.

1465
01:41:56,783 --> 01:41:59,077
I think, about now...

1466
01:42:00,870 --> 01:42:03,748
...he'd want to hear from his daddy.

1467
01:42:05,667 --> 01:42:07,794
I think you ought to call him.

1468
01:42:12,757 --> 01:42:14,426
Mm-hm.

1469
01:42:14,593 --> 01:42:15,594
Cecil?

1470
01:42:18,054 --> 01:42:19,055
Cecil?

1471
01:42:19,222 --> 01:42:21,975
Yes, sir, Mr. President.

1472
01:42:22,142 --> 01:42:23,977
You stay there, I'm coming to you.

1473
01:42:24,144 --> 01:42:27,689
I... have a...

1474
01:42:27,856 --> 01:42:30,483
...secret mission for you.

1475
01:42:30,650 --> 01:42:31,943
Yes, sir.

1476
01:42:32,110 --> 01:42:34,404
I like to send people
money when they write me

1477
01:42:34,571 --> 01:42:36,740
about their financial problems,

1478
01:42:36,906 --> 01:42:40,910
but my staff has been
trying to get me to stop.

1479
01:42:41,077 --> 01:42:44,831
You think you could
help me to keep this going?

1480
01:42:44,998 --> 01:42:47,751
Absolutely, Mr. President.

1481
01:42:47,917 --> 01:42:50,503
Well, I appreciate
your help with this.

1482
01:42:50,670 --> 01:42:53,381
And, please, don't tell Nancy.

1483
01:42:53,548 --> 01:42:55,300
Of course not.

1484
01:42:59,137 --> 01:43:02,223
- Morning, Cecil.
- Morning, Mr. Warner.

1485
01:43:06,645 --> 01:43:08,438
May I sit down?

1486
01:43:17,113 --> 01:43:20,492
I've been here
for over 2O years now.

1487
01:43:23,453 --> 01:43:28,291
For all that time,
the black help

1488
01:43:28,458 --> 01:43:32,754
has been paid a smaller salary
than the white help.

1489
01:43:34,714 --> 01:43:38,218
And I just don't think
that's right, Mr. Warner.

1490
01:43:40,470 --> 01:43:46,101
There are black housemen
who should be engineers by now.

1491
01:43:47,477 --> 01:43:50,605
They should've been promoted
years ago.

1492
01:43:53,108 --> 01:43:54,901
You think so?

1493
01:43:57,779 --> 01:44:03,451
I'm gonna have to be paid
the same as the white help,

1494
01:44:03,618 --> 01:44:06,871
or I'm gonna have to move on.

1495
01:44:08,581 --> 01:44:11,042
I guess you'll be moving on then.

1496
01:44:15,171 --> 01:44:18,466
I told the president
that you'd say that.

1497
01:44:20,260 --> 01:44:25,140
He told me to tell you
to take this up with him, personally.

1498
01:44:29,477 --> 01:44:30,895
Excuse me.

1499
01:44:39,571 --> 01:44:42,115
I'm not comfortable
with all the foreign policy hawks

1500
01:44:42,282 --> 01:44:43,825
surrounding Ronnie, Jim.

1501
01:44:43,992 --> 01:44:48,163
We need more moderates on his staff.
And a summit with the Russians.

1502
01:44:48,329 --> 01:44:50,498
Ronnie has to meet
with them face to face

1503
01:44:50,665 --> 01:44:52,000
if we're ever
going to thaw this ice.

1504
01:44:52,167 --> 01:44:54,669
- Cecil.
- Yes, Mrs. Reagan?

1505
01:44:54,836 --> 01:44:57,505
We will talk, Jim. Yes.

1506
01:44:57,672 --> 01:44:59,340
Yes, ma'am?

1507
01:44:59,507 --> 01:45:01,760
You're very popular around here.

1508
01:45:01,926 --> 01:45:06,347
Everyone says you're the man
that got them raises and promotions.

1509
01:45:06,514 --> 01:45:10,226
- I had no idea.
- I wish I could take credit for that.

1510
01:45:10,977 --> 01:45:13,563
I'd like to invite you
to the State Dinner next week.

1511
01:45:13,730 --> 01:45:16,107
- I'm gonna be there, Mrs. Reagan.
- No.

1512
01:45:16,274 --> 01:45:21,029
Not as a... Not as a butler, Cecil.
I'm inviting you as a guest.

1513
01:45:21,988 --> 01:45:25,158
But the president prefers
for me to serve him personally.

1514
01:45:26,159 --> 01:45:29,204
Don't you worry about, Ronnie.
I'll take care of that.

1515
01:45:30,079 --> 01:45:33,750
So we'll see you next week.
You and your wife.

1516
01:45:33,917 --> 01:45:35,752
My Wife?

1517
01:45:38,755 --> 01:45:41,716
It's... It's Gloria, yes?

1518
01:45:41,883 --> 01:45:44,427
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes.

1519
01:45:46,554 --> 01:45:47,889
Hmm.

1520
01:46:00,735 --> 01:46:02,570
Here's the Entrance Hall.

1521
01:46:06,908 --> 01:46:08,660
Beautiful.

1522
01:46:23,883 --> 01:46:26,511
Can I get you a glass
of champagne, Mr. Gaines?

1523
01:46:26,678 --> 01:46:30,515
- Shut up.
- Right.

1524
01:46:32,517 --> 01:46:34,143
Ladies and gentlemen,

1525
01:46:34,310 --> 01:46:37,772
the President and First Lady
of the United States.

1526
01:46:59,085 --> 01:47:02,797
<i>It was different sitting
at the table instead of serving it.</i>

1527
01:47:02,964 --> 01:47:04,382
<i>Real different.</i>

1528
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:10,430
<i>I could see the two faces
the butlers wore to survive.</i>

1529
01:47:11,890 --> 01:47:16,185
<i>And I knew I'd lived my life
with those same two faces.</i>

1530
01:47:22,734 --> 01:47:27,989
<i>Gloria looked so happy,
but I didn't feel the same way.</i>

1531
01:47:28,156 --> 01:47:32,076
<i>I guess I wished we were there
for real instead of for show.</i>

1532
01:47:42,503 --> 01:47:45,089
I think that's bon appétit, everybody.

1533
01:47:45,256 --> 01:47:46,633
You black mother...

1534
01:47:52,597 --> 01:47:56,809
I want to make myself clear
on this issue.

1535
01:47:58,603 --> 01:48:05,026
If Congress passes sanctions
against South Africa,

1536
01:48:05,193 --> 01:48:09,489
I will be forced to
veto those sanctions.

1537
01:48:09,656 --> 01:48:13,826
Well, Mr. President, we feel
that that would be a major mistake.

1538
01:48:13,993 --> 01:48:17,705
The brutal repression
of South African black citizens

1539
01:48:17,872 --> 01:48:20,667
makes this no longer
a foreign policy issue,

1540
01:48:20,833 --> 01:48:24,420
but a United States racial issue.

1541
01:48:24,587 --> 01:48:27,340
We're senators
from your own party.

1542
01:48:27,507 --> 01:48:29,467
That's why we feel so comfortable
in letting you know

1543
01:48:29,634 --> 01:48:32,679
that South Africa
is a human rights disaster.

1544
01:48:32,845 --> 01:48:36,391
Black people are
being beaten, tortured,

1545
01:48:36,557 --> 01:48:38,559
gunned down
in the middle of the street.

1546
01:48:38,726 --> 01:48:42,480
Americans see all this on TV,
they're horrified by apartheid.

1547
01:48:42,647 --> 01:48:45,358
I've made my decision.

1548
01:48:45,525 --> 01:48:49,988
Mr. President, your reputation
as a world leader is at stake.

1549
01:48:50,154 --> 01:48:52,532
United States of America needs to be

1550
01:48:52,699 --> 01:48:54,867
on the right side of history
on the race issue.

1551
01:48:55,034 --> 01:48:56,619
I say again.

1552
01:48:58,037 --> 01:49:01,958
If Congress passes this bill,

1553
01:49:02,125 --> 01:49:04,794
I Will veto it.

1554
01:49:04,961 --> 01:49:06,629
Peflod.

1555
01:49:16,097 --> 01:49:19,934
What? You reading now?

1556
01:49:20,101 --> 01:49:22,520
Get up and do the dishes
'fore I shoot your little ass.

1557
01:49:36,367 --> 01:49:40,204
<i>Nothing seemed right to me
after that State Dinner.</i>

1558
01:49:40,371 --> 01:49:42,582
<i>Got all confused.</i>

1559
01:50:09,317 --> 01:50:12,236
<i>They had started writing books</i>

1560
01:50:12,403 --> 01:50:16,699
<i>about everything Louis
and his friends had done.</i>

1561
01:50:22,121 --> 01:50:24,457
<i>Louis was never a criminal.</i>

1562
01:50:28,336 --> 01:50:31,672
<i>He was a hero,</i>

1563
01:50:31,839 --> 01:50:35,176
<i>fighting to save
the soul of our country.</i>

1564
01:50:46,354 --> 01:50:49,190
- Would you like a cookie?
- Thank you, sir.

1565
01:50:49,357 --> 01:50:51,150
- Cookies.
- Thank you.

1566
01:50:51,317 --> 01:50:52,735
Cookie?

1567
01:50:52,902 --> 01:50:54,862
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

1568
01:50:55,029 --> 01:50:56,489
Thank you.

1569
01:50:56,656 --> 01:50:57,782
Cookie?

1570
01:51:12,588 --> 01:51:17,844
<i>I had always loved sewing.
But just felt different now.</i>

1571
01:51:21,305 --> 01:51:25,768
<i>I didn't know that an old man
could feel so lost.</i>

1572
01:51:26,686 --> 01:51:28,479
<i>That's how I felt.</i>

1573
01:51:29,772 --> 01:51:31,691
<i>That's how I felt.</i>

1574
01:51:38,447 --> 01:51:40,533
<i>Americans always turned</i>

1575
01:51:40,700 --> 01:51:45,580
<i>a blind eye to what we'd done
to our own.</i>

1576
01:51:45,746 --> 01:51:49,542
<i>We look out to the world and judge.</i>

1577
01:51:49,709 --> 01:51:52,670
<i>We hear about
the concentration camps,</i>

1578
01:51:52,837 --> 01:51:57,800
<i>but these camps went on
for 200 years</i>

1579
01:51:57,967 --> 01:52:00,720
<i>right here in America.</i>

1580
01:52:12,940 --> 01:52:15,067
Buried my daddy right over there.

1581
01:52:19,363 --> 01:52:23,409
My mama would've been
right proud of me,

1582
01:52:23,576 --> 01:52:26,370
being with a man like you's.

1583
01:52:26,537 --> 01:52:29,916
Taking such good care of me
all of these years.

1584
01:52:32,877 --> 01:52:34,921
I love you, Cecil Gaines.

1585
01:52:37,465 --> 01:52:39,800
I love you more, Gloria.

1586
01:52:52,271 --> 01:52:55,691
Are you sure about this?

1587
01:52:55,858 --> 01:52:57,610
Yes, sir.

1588
01:52:57,777 --> 01:53:02,615
I just want to be the one
to tell you first, that's all.

1589
01:53:02,782 --> 01:53:05,368
But you're the best butler here.

1590
01:53:05,534 --> 01:53:07,995
You're like family, Cecil.

1591
01:53:09,997 --> 01:53:12,583
Been an honor serving you.

1592
01:53:12,750 --> 01:53:16,963
Well, not just for me,
I'm sure I speak for all the presidents

1593
01:53:17,129 --> 01:53:21,300
when I say that you've
served your country well.

1594
01:53:23,594 --> 01:53:25,346
Thank you, Mr. President.

1595
01:53:30,268 --> 01:53:31,727
Cecil?

1596
01:53:33,854 --> 01:53:36,482
This whole civil rights issue...

1597
01:53:40,111 --> 01:53:43,239
I sometimes fear I'm...

1598
01:53:43,406 --> 01:53:45,950
on the wrong side of it,
that I'm...

1599
01:53:47,076 --> 01:53:49,161
...just wrong.

1600
01:53:49,328 --> 01:53:53,249
Sometimes I think I'm just
scared of what it really means.

1601
01:53:55,543 --> 01:53:58,379
But I'm trying not to be
so scared anymore.

1602
01:53:59,171 --> 01:54:01,799
<i>- Who do we want to free?!
- Mandela!</i>

1603
01:54:01,966 --> 01:54:03,175
When do we want him free?

1604
01:54:03,342 --> 01:54:04,677
- Now!
- Free Mandela!

1605
01:54:04,844 --> 01:54:09,348
Twenty years ago, we marched
in this country for our rights.

1606
01:54:11,517 --> 01:54:15,438
Today, we march to free
the people of South Africa.

1607
01:54:15,604 --> 01:54:16,981
Yeah!

1608
01:54:17,148 --> 01:54:21,694
Ronald Reagan has attacked or dismantled
every civil rights program

1609
01:54:21,861 --> 01:54:23,863
that has ever been put in place.

1610
01:54:24,030 --> 01:54:25,406
- Yeah!
- Right!

1611
01:54:25,573 --> 01:54:29,243
Aiding the oppression of black South
Africans is absolutely consistent

1612
01:54:29,410 --> 01:54:32,913
with his policies on race issues.
Am I right?

1613
01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:35,499
- Am I right?
- Yes!

1614
01:54:37,501 --> 01:54:39,378
Hold on, hold on.

1615
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:43,632
Excuse me. Steven?
Where's Steven?

1616
01:54:43,799 --> 01:54:45,634
- Free Mandela!
- Free Mandela, y'all!

1617
01:54:45,801 --> 01:54:47,636
Free Mandela!

1618
01:54:49,388 --> 01:54:54,226
Free Mandela!
Free Mandela! Free Mandela!

1619
01:55:04,737 --> 01:55:06,989
Hi, Dad.

1620
01:55:07,156 --> 01:55:09,492
Hi, Louis.

1621
01:55:11,243 --> 01:55:14,246
What are you doing here?

1622
01:55:19,668 --> 01:55:22,380
I came here to protest with you.

1623
01:55:25,508 --> 01:55:28,094
You'll get arrested, Dad.
You'll lose your job.

1624
01:55:30,429 --> 01:55:32,515
I lost you.

1625
01:55:36,435 --> 01:55:38,270
I'm sorry.

1626
01:55:48,447 --> 01:55:51,283
I'm sorry, son.

1627
01:56:10,511 --> 01:56:14,223
Don't worry, Dad, we'll be
out of here in a few hours.

1628
01:56:14,390 --> 01:56:16,600
Who said I was worried?

1629
01:56:21,355 --> 01:56:25,776
<i>After going to jail,
I thought I'd seen it all.</i>

1630
01:56:26,152 --> 01:56:29,905
- You OK, Daddy?
- Yeah, no, no, no. I'm good.

1631
01:56:30,072 --> 01:56:33,534
<i>But I never imagined I'd see...</i>

1632
01:56:33,701 --> 01:56:35,786
<i>...a black man</i>

1633
01:56:35,953 --> 01:56:40,875
<i>be a real contender for
the President of the United States.</i>

1634
01:56:45,254 --> 01:56:47,298
Here we go.

1635
01:56:47,465 --> 01:56:51,218
- It's that sweet corn.
- That corn look good.

1636
01:57:04,190 --> 01:57:07,318
<i>Gloria and I would walk
to our polling place</i>

1637
01:57:07,485 --> 01:57:12,531
<i>every night to see where
we'd be voting for Barack Obama.</i>

1638
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:18,329
<i>We'd just... stare at it, smile.</i>

1639
01:57:24,168 --> 01:57:27,213
- You done?
- Pretty much.

1640
01:57:27,379 --> 01:57:29,590
Good. Time to go.

1641
01:57:31,091 --> 01:57:33,802
You done pretty good there.

1642
01:57:33,969 --> 01:57:35,888
Thanks, honey.

1643
01:57:37,223 --> 01:57:41,268
How come Louis' wife
named that child...

1644
01:57:41,435 --> 01:57:44,271
- ...Shaquanda?
- Now, don't start that again.

1645
01:57:44,438 --> 01:57:48,692
I ain't starting it, I just don't know
what kind of name that is.

1646
01:57:48,859 --> 01:57:52,363
I mean, really! Shaquanda?

1647
01:57:52,530 --> 01:57:54,532
I think she done that just to spite me.

1648
01:57:54,698 --> 01:57:58,452
Ain't nobody
done nothing to spite you.

1649
01:57:58,619 --> 01:58:00,538
Yes, she did.

1650
01:58:02,331 --> 01:58:05,918
She a ugly little old girl, too.
That little pug nose.

1651
01:58:06,085 --> 01:58:10,172
- I hope she grow out of it.
- Now, you need to stop that.

1652
01:58:10,339 --> 01:58:12,216
- You know that ain't right.
- Don't you think

1653
01:58:12,383 --> 01:58:14,260
she look a little like
Louis around the mouth?

1654
01:58:14,426 --> 01:58:18,389
I think... she look just like you.

1655
01:58:18,556 --> 01:58:20,391
- Like me?
- Yeah, so you need to...

1656
01:58:20,558 --> 01:58:23,310
...you need
to stop talking about her.

1657
01:58:23,477 --> 01:58:26,480
Let me look at her again,
then, real good.

1658
01:58:26,647 --> 01:58:28,774
Paughs]

1659
01:58:28,941 --> 01:58:34,196
She do look a little bit like me.
She a pretty little thing.

1660
01:58:35,531 --> 01:58:38,367
I guess I can put up
with the name Shaquanda.

1661
01:58:39,952 --> 01:58:43,038
I forgot where I put my Bible.

1662
01:58:43,205 --> 01:58:46,917
- You know I need my Bible.
- Mm-hm.

1663
01:58:47,084 --> 01:58:50,671
- I think I left it in the bathroom.
- Why is Louis late?

1664
01:58:52,089 --> 01:58:55,009
Boy gets elected to Congress...

1665
01:58:55,175 --> 01:58:58,554
...and he ain't been on time
getting us to church ever since.

1666
01:58:58,721 --> 01:59:02,683
- I can't believe you still... fussing.
- He gonna be late to his own funeral.

1667
01:59:02,850 --> 01:59:04,518
Are you still fussing
about Louis?

1668
01:59:04,685 --> 01:59:07,396
He said he's gonna be here for us.

1669
01:59:07,563 --> 01:59:11,025
- Go ahead, call him.
- I ain't calling Louis.

1670
01:59:11,900 --> 01:59:14,862
I'm gonna get my purse and...

1671
01:59:18,991 --> 01:59:22,286
What'd you say? Isaiah?

1672
01:59:22,453 --> 01:59:25,998
I see you got... your mark here.

1673
01:59:27,833 --> 01:59:29,960
I'm gonna fall all over myself.

1674
01:59:30,127 --> 01:59:33,047
Baby, you need...
to move that to the other side.

1675
01:59:46,435 --> 01:59:48,228
Baby?

1676
01:59:50,981 --> 01:59:53,108
Honey?

1677
01:59:55,944 --> 01:59:57,488
You sleeping?

1678
02:00:01,492 --> 02:00:03,077
Baby?

1679
02:00:05,454 --> 02:00:07,373
Are you all right?

1680
02:00:32,690 --> 02:00:34,566
<i>...states will be closing,</i>

1681
02:00:34,733 --> 02:00:36,819
<i>and there are some big ones,
especially California,</i>

1682
02:00:36,985 --> 02:00:38,987
<i>the largest state
in the United States,</i>

1683
02:00:39,154 --> 02:00:40,781
<i>with 55 electoral votes.</i>

1684
02:00:40,948 --> 02:00:43,742
<i>Hawaii, that's where
Barack Obama was born.</i>

1685
02:00:43,909 --> 02:00:45,619
<i>will be closing its polls.</i>

1686
02:00:45,786 --> 02:00:49,039
<i>Idaho, Oregon
and Washington state,</i>

1687
02:00:49,206 --> 02:00:51,333
<i>and those states
have been going Democratic</i>

1688
02:00:51,500 --> 02:00:53,627
<i>in presidential contests
in recent years.</i>

1689
02:00:53,794 --> 02:00:55,254
<i>So in a few seconds</i>

1690
02:00:55,421 --> 02:00:57,548
<i>those states
will be closing their polls,</i>

1691
02:00:57,715 --> 02:01:00,300
<i>and presumably we'll
be able to see what's...</i>

1692
02:01:00,467 --> 02:01:02,302
Louis!

1693
02:01:02,469 --> 02:01:04,304
<i>...a major projection at that point.</i>

1694
02:01:04,471 --> 02:01:07,683
<i>This is a moment that a lot of
people have been waiting for...</i>

1695
02:01:07,850 --> 02:01:10,310
Louis, come on down!
Come down!

1696
02:01:10,477 --> 02:01:12,521
<i>...could be rather historic.</i>

1697
02:01:14,398 --> 02:01:17,943
<i>And CNN can now project
that Barack Obama, 47 years old,</i>

1698
02:01:18,110 --> 02:01:20,571
<i>will become the President-Elect</i>

1699
02:01:20,738 --> 02:01:23,824
<i>of the United States. We project...</i>

1700
02:01:23,991 --> 02:01:27,202
<i>If there is anyone out there</i>

1701
02:01:27,369 --> 02:01:31,331
<i>who still doubts that America
is a place where</i>

1702
02:01:31,498 --> 02:01:33,333
<i>all things are possible...</i>

1703
02:01:34,626 --> 02:01:41,008
<i>...who still wonders if the dream of our
founders is alive in our time,</i>

1704
02:01:41,175 --> 02:01:45,262
<i>who still questions
the power of our democracy,</i>

1705
02:01:45,429 --> 02:01:47,806
<i>tonight is your answer.</i>

1706
02:02:53,121 --> 02:02:55,874
<i>You must look
through their eyes...</i>

1707
02:02:58,210 --> 02:03:00,587
<i>...see what it is that they want...</i>

1708
02:03:02,381 --> 02:03:05,092
<i>...see what it is that they need...</i>

1709
02:03:07,010 --> 02:03:09,012
<i>...anticipate...</i>

1710
02:03:12,057 --> 02:03:15,894
...bring a smile
to the principal's eyes.

1711
02:03:24,570 --> 02:03:26,280
Mr. Gaines.

1712
02:03:26,446 --> 02:03:28,782
I'm Admiral Rochon, the chief usher.

1713
02:03:35,038 --> 02:03:39,793
- Nice to meet you, admiral.
- Pleasure's all mine, sir.

1714
02:03:43,130 --> 02:03:46,091
I just wanted to tell you
what an honor it is to meet you, sir.

1715
02:03:47,593 --> 02:03:49,136
The honor is mine.

1716
02:03:49,303 --> 02:03:52,014
The president's so excited
to meet with you.

1717
02:03:53,223 --> 02:03:54,766
Well...

1718
02:03:57,811 --> 02:04:00,314
...that's just fine, isn't it?

1719
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:02,316
Let me show
you the way.

1720
02:04:02,482 --> 02:04:04,318
I know the way.

1721
02:04:08,780 --> 02:04:10,616
<i>The heart of the question is,</i>

1722
02:04:10,782 --> 02:04:13,952
<i>whether all Americans
are to be afforded equal rights</i>

1723
02:04:14,119 --> 02:04:16,788
<i>and equal opportunities.</i>

1724
02:04:16,955 --> 02:04:23,337
<i>It is the effort of American
Negroes to secure for themselves</i>

1725
02:04:23,503 --> 02:04:28,091
<i>the full blessings of American life.</i>

1726
02:04:28,258 --> 02:04:30,510
<i>We will respond
with that timeless creed</i>

1727
02:04:33,472 --> 02:04:35,307
<i>Yes, we can.</i>
