00:15:53,889 --> 00:15:55,283
I don't need you breaking nothing.
358
00:15:55,307 --> 00:15:56,651
[MICAH LAUGHING]
359
00:15:56,675 --> 00:15:58,703
You know, I miss Blue so much.
360
00:15:58,727 --> 00:16:02,612
I always say, like, if I have a son,
he gotta be just like Blue.
361
00:16:03,232 --> 00:16:04,947
Yeah, speaking of Blue.
362
00:16:05,851 --> 00:16:08,663
We got a letter, not too long ago.
363
00:16:08,687 --> 00:16:12,551
Got into one of these
little private schools in D.C.
364
00:16:12,575 --> 00:16:13,941
It's called, like, Sidwell-something.
365
00:16:14,743 --> 00:16:16,471
Wait, Sidwell friends school?
366
00:16:16,868 --> 00:16:17,868
That's the one.
367
00:16:18,294 --> 00:16:19,674
Know it?
368
00:16:19,698 --> 00:16:21,559
Yeah, that's one of the best schools in
the country.
369
00:16:21,583 --> 00:16:23,094
The Obama girls went there.
370
00:16:23,457 --> 00:16:24,457
Blue got in?
371
00:16:25,203 --> 00:16:26,235
Yeah, he did.
372
00:16:26,638 --> 00:16:27,720
Did get in.
373
00:16:29,208 --> 00:16:30,185
That's pretty big, huh?
374
00:16:30,209 --> 00:16:31,653
Yeah, man, that's huge.
375
00:16:31,677 --> 00:16:34,739
They don't even let
kids apply, from what I hear.
376
00:16:34,977 --> 00:16:38,815
Darla's mama sent in his application
once we got his IQ tests back.
377
00:16:39,768 --> 00:16:43,403
But Darla pretty much decided
she ain't into it.
378
00:16:44,406 --> 00:16:45,406
Why?
379
00:16:45,941 --> 00:16:47,919
I mean, it sound good.
380
00:16:47,943 --> 00:16:49,409
But I don't know nothing
about that world.
381
00:16:50,229 --> 00:16:51,590
I mean, I do.
382
00:16:51,614 --> 00:16:54,175
The Sidwells, the Harvard-Westlakes,
the grotons of the world.
383
00:16:54,199 --> 00:16:56,958
They can really open up some
doors, uncle, I'm telling you.
384
00:16:57,786 --> 00:16:59,293
I ain't mad at that part.
385
00:16:59,455 --> 00:17:00,715
Yeah.
386
00:17:00,739 --> 00:17:03,214
I mean, these elite schools
do have their cons, though.
387
00:17:04,243 --> 00:17:05,633
You turned out all right.
388
00:17:06,161 --> 00:17:07,639
Better than all right.
389
00:17:07,663 --> 00:17:09,558
Had your pick of schools and everything.
390
00:17:09,582 --> 00:17:11,711
Yeah, I did, but if I'm being honest,
391
00:17:11,735 --> 00:17:14,946
it's not because
I graduated from St. Jo high school.
392
00:17:14,970 --> 00:17:18,604
It's 'cause I had a rigorous elite
la prep school on my transcripts.
393
00:17:18,974 --> 00:17:20,619
It's not fair, but it's real.
394
00:17:20,643 --> 00:17:21,643
You know.
395
00:17:22,728 --> 00:17:25,490
This Sidwell, it's not everything.
396
00:17:25,514 --> 00:17:27,196
Especially for us, but...
397
00:17:27,905 --> 00:17:29,405
It could be a real leg-up.
398
00:17:31,186 --> 00:17:33,632
I mean, didn't you reject all that?
399
00:17:33,656 --> 00:17:36,668
When you chose that hbcu
over them Ivy leagues?
400
00:17:36,692 --> 00:17:39,337
[CHUCKLES] yeah, I did,
401
00:17:39,361 --> 00:17:42,076
but I made my choices
and I'm happy with them.
402
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:44,843
You know I see that it was a
privilege to have a choice to even make.
403
00:17:44,867 --> 00:17:46,048
You feel me?
404
00:17:46,297 --> 00:17:48,658
My mom and dad gave that to me.
405
00:17:48,837 --> 00:17:51,971
I was fortunate, I could choose,
you know, where I wanted to go.
406
00:17:52,257 --> 00:17:53,806
And what I wanted to do.
407
00:17:55,210 --> 00:17:57,393
If the world was fair,
every kid would have that choice.
408
00:17:58,610 --> 00:17:59,659
You know?
409
00:18:00,849 --> 00:18:01,849
Yeah.
410
00:18:02,685 --> 00:18:04,245
Yeah, I'MMA catch you later, neph.
411
00:18:04,269 --> 00:18:05,886
All right. Later, unc.
412
00:18:12,594 --> 00:18:14,344
[RALPH] just the man I'm looking for.
413
00:18:14,813 --> 00:18:16,074
What up, buddy?
414
00:18:16,098 --> 00:18:17,242
Nothing much.
415
00:18:17,266 --> 00:18:18,410
Got something for you.
416
00:18:18,434 --> 00:18:19,650
- You did?
- Check it out.

[GASPS] black panther!
418
00:18:26,665 --> 00:18:29,137
I really wanted this when it came out.
419
00:18:29,161 --> 00:18:30,422
I know.
420
00:18:30,446 --> 00:18:32,136
Couldn't afford it back then,
421
00:18:32,948 --> 00:18:34,138
but seemed right you had it.
422
00:18:34,453 --> 00:18:35,616
Especially now.
423
00:18:37,859 --> 00:18:39,310
I can't believe he's gone.
424
00:18:41,859 --> 00:18:42,975
He ain't gone, Blue.
425
00:18:43,685 --> 00:18:44,851
That's a mighty man.
426
00:18:45,450 --> 00:18:46,783
His spirit gonna live forever.
427
00:18:48,881 --> 00:18:50,464
Look, man, when you good in this world,
428
00:18:51,684 --> 00:18:53,278
you live on.
429
00:18:53,302 --> 00:18:54,909
Even when you in a different place.
430
00:18:55,637 --> 00:18:56,803
It's like your grandpa.
431
00:18:57,949 --> 00:18:59,259
He was real good.
432
00:18:59,284 --> 00:19:00,917
Oh, man, as good as they come.
433
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:08,733
I don't really play
with those toys anymore.
434
00:19:08,937 --> 00:19:10,967
So, I'm going to keep him in the box.
435
00:19:11,653 --> 00:19:12,703
As a collectible.
436
00:19:14,265 --> 00:19:15,547
That's a good idea.
437
00:19:17,065 --> 00:19:18,891
But when you stopped
playing with toys, Blue?
438
00:19:19,697 --> 00:19:21,625
I mean, you used to
love them little dolls.
439
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:23,141
You remember Kenya?
440
00:19:23,165 --> 00:19:26,561

Thank you for speaking
with me, Mrs. Baptiste.
448
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:56,941
It's not every day that I get to pick
the brain
449
00:19:56,965 --> 00:19:58,843
of a journalistic trailblazer.
450
00:19:58,867 --> 00:20:01,026
[CHUCKLES] an invisible trailblazer.
451
00:20:01,063 --> 00:20:03,688
I feel like that paper
couldn't wait for me to retire
452
00:20:03,713 --> 00:20:05,620
and then forget about the work I did.
453
00:20:05,644 --> 00:20:07,322
Or tried to do.
454
00:20:07,346 --> 00:20:09,000
Well, I never depended on an institution
455
00:20:09,024 --> 00:20:10,759
to do what I can do for myself.
456
00:20:10,783 --> 00:20:12,626
Which is, honor those who ran the race,
457
00:20:12,650 --> 00:20:14,280

458
00:20:15,104 --> 00:20:16,131

Thank you.
460
00:20:18,323 --> 00:20:20,328
I cross-referenced the date you gave me.
461
00:20:21,026 --> 00:20:23,003
Over 20 years flew by.
462
00:20:23,028 --> 00:20:25,256
Andre Nixon.
463
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,108
I guess I was haunted by the kid.
464
00:20:27,132 --> 00:20:29,411
He was so promising.
465
00:20:29,435 --> 00:20:32,180
A sophomore in college, so bright.
466
00:20:32,204 --> 00:20:33,932
I understand that feeling.
467
00:20:33,956 --> 00:20:36,151
I looked for my field notes
and found them.
468
00:20:36,175 --> 00:20:37,686
Anything out of the ordinary?
469
00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:39,437
Almost everything checked out.
470
00:20:39,461 --> 00:20:40,772
Almost?
471
00:20:40,796 --> 00:20:43,325
He was from the ninth and
he turned up with injuries,
472
00:20:43,349 --> 00:20:45,276
that felt like the mo
of some of the good old boys,
473
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:47,063
who worked that beat at the time.
474
00:20:47,353 --> 00:20:49,030
Those guys had a pattern.
475
00:20:49,054 --> 00:20:51,315
Certain places they'd inflict pain on
the body
476
00:20:51,339 --> 00:20:52,951
that were hard to trace back.
477
00:20:52,975 --> 00:20:54,405
Did anything ever come of it?
478
00:20:54,431 --> 00:20:56,776
Kid and his family
wouldn't talk. Too scared.
479
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,640
Claimed he fell downstairs.
480
00:20:58,664 --> 00:21:00,175
It never did add up.
481
00:21:00,199 --> 00:21:02,291
I'll email you with my notes.
482
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:04,462
Maybe it'll help with whatever
it is you're looking for.
483
00:21:04,486 --> 00:21:06,131
I really appreciate it.
484
00:21:06,155 --> 00:21:07,155
Mmm-hmm.

[SIGHS]

00:21:13,575 --> 00:21:16,147
[DAVIS] who would've thought
Micah would be attending,
488
00:21:16,171 --> 00:21:17,661
let alone organizing a protest?
489
00:21:19,668 --> 00:21:22,636
You know, he was on the news, Charley.
490
00:21:22,671 --> 00:21:23,982
In Minneapolis.
491
00:21:24,006 --> 00:21:25,700
The national news.
492
00:21:25,724 --> 00:21:28,069
And they keep playing it over and over.
493
00:21:28,093 --> 00:21:29,480
How did he sound?
494
00:21:31,096 --> 00:21:33,216
You know, like his mother's son.
495
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,827
He was articulate, eloquent, compelling.
496
00:21:36,324 --> 00:21:37,324
He was pitch perfect.
497
00:21:38,604 --> 00:21:41,332
- That kid is something else.
- That he is.
498
00:21:41,356 --> 00:21:43,385
You know, and I'm surprised
you let him go.
499
00:21:43,409 --> 00:21:45,587
But, I'm really glad that you did.

[SIGHS]
502
00:21:50,082 --> 00:21:54,171
You know, one of the hard things
people don't tell you about kids is,
503
00:21:54,620 --> 00:21:58,509
that window where you can
demand that they do something,
504
00:21:58,757 --> 00:22:00,402
and they just do it.
505
00:22:00,426 --> 00:22:03,639
- That window is like...
- Six, seven years, Max?

[SIGHS]
507
00:22:05,881 --> 00:22:09,411
[LAUGHING] and then after that
everything is a battle.
508
00:22:09,921 --> 00:22:11,531
Or a negotiation, at least.
509
00:22:11,556 --> 00:22:12,665
Or a request.
510
00:22:13,088 --> 00:22:15,149
Accompanied by your best,
511
00:22:15,173 --> 00:22:18,154
well, I know better than you,
so you better listen to me look.
512
00:22:19,060 --> 00:22:20,905
And that only worked a few times.
513
00:22:20,929 --> 00:22:24,041
[SCOFFS] yeah, mine was, now,
Micah, I said what I said.
514

515
00:22:25,233 --> 00:22:28,330

literally one time.

00:22:30,905 --> 00:22:32,460
Here, taste that.
517
00:22:37,529 --> 00:22:38,544

518
00:22:40,532 --> 00:22:41,719
A smidge.
519
00:22:42,784 --> 00:22:43,784
For safety.
520
00:22:44,702 --> 00:22:46,347
Right.
521
00:22:46,371 --> 00:22:49,333
But, you know,
522
00:22:49,357 --> 00:22:52,520
seeing him on the news
like that, you know,
523
00:22:52,544 --> 00:22:56,440
just schooling people left
and right, I loved that.
524
00:22:56,464 --> 00:22:57,575
I loved it.
525
00:22:57,599 --> 00:23:01,028
I mean he is doing his thing, you know.
526
00:23:01,052 --> 00:23:04,720
What I dig most about him is that
his thing is all about other people.
527
00:23:06,247 --> 00:23:08,876
And we were so worried about
him becoming a spoiled brat.
528
00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:11,916
Well, he did have that horrible phase.
529
00:23:12,147 --> 00:23:13,147

think I ever went back to that store.
532
00:23:21,122 --> 00:23:23,844

it was just a phase.

00:23:24,292 --> 00:23:25,408
But...
