- [man] I think one of the most
- emotional moments of my life
- 3
- 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,795
- was the night that
- I was initiated into the Klan.
- 4
- 00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:06,365
- I was led into the Klavern
- hall, which was dark.
- 5
- 00:01:06,367 --> 00:01:08,633
- The only light that I could
- see was a fiery cross.
- 6
- 00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,638
- And that...
- put me through the ceremony.
- 7
- 00:01:11,139 --> 00:01:12,805
- Purified me with water.
- 8
- 00:01:12,807 --> 00:01:14,541
- Laid his hand
- on my shoulder, says,
- 9
- 00:01:14,543 --> 00:01:16,175
- "You're part of
- the Invisible Empire,
- 10
- 00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:18,279
- United Klans of America."
- 11
- 00:01:18,646 --> 00:01:21,780
- And there was a tremendous
- applause throughout the auditorium.
- 12
- 00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:24,484
- And I came up off the floor
- really in tears.
- 13
- 00:01:24,486 --> 00:01:26,952
- Because that's what I'd been
- looking for all my life.
- 14
- 00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:30,590
- An opportunity to be heard,
- an opportunity to be something.
- 15
- 00:01:30,592 --> 00:01:32,959
- - [woman] I first told him, "Hell no!"
- - [audience laughs]
- 16
- 00:01:32,961 --> 00:01:36,295
- I would never, ever.
- But kill him, that's all I want.
- 17
- 00:01:36,297 --> 00:01:38,032
- That was on my heart
- to kill him.
- 18
- 00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:41,233
- This is the kind of reputation
- that I have in Durham.
- 19
- 00:01:41,235 --> 00:01:43,669
- I'm not bragging about it,
- but it is the truth.
- 20
- 00:01:43,671 --> 00:01:46,807
- You can call Durham,
- and they will tell you.
- 21
- 00:01:47,275 --> 00:01:51,744
- Uh, no, I will not take no for an answer.
- I have to have the word "yes."
- 22
- 00:01:51,746 --> 00:01:55,348
- Because all of our blood,
- when it comes out, is the same color.
- 23
- 00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:58,652
- I haven't seen any blood different
- yet than the color of mine.
- 24
- 00:01:58,654 --> 00:02:01,988
- And I'm sayin' whatever you believe in...
- I keep sayin' it...
- 25
- 00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:05,027
- - stand on it, baby, stand on it.
- - [audience applauding]
- 26
- 00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:17,473
- [crowd clamoring]
- 27
- 00:02:21,843 --> 00:02:24,011
- [clamoring continues]
- 28
- 00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:31,817
- [chanting] Equal housing now!
- Equal housing now!
- 29
- 00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:33,687
- Equal housing now!
- 30
- 00:02:33,689 --> 00:02:36,391
- [woman] They call this Magic
- City, Mr. Atkins.
- 31
- 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:38,927
- Ain't no magic here.
- 32
- 00:02:39,828 --> 00:02:43,863
- Abe Greenfeld ain't nothin'
- but a vile slumlord.
- 33
- 00:02:43,865 --> 00:02:45,332
- You know it, and I know it.
- 34
- 00:02:45,334 --> 00:02:47,834
- And the black people
- of East Durham
- 35
- 00:02:47,836 --> 00:02:50,105
- have the same rights
- as anybody else.
- 36
- 00:02:51,139 --> 00:02:53,740
- This girl, Mr. Atkins,
- 37
- 00:02:53,742 --> 00:02:59,014
- this young lady is a single
- mother of three children.
- 38
- 00:02:59,716 --> 00:03:03,586
- And she wake up this morning
- to an eviction notice.
- 39
- 00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:08,189
- - But there's no hot water. What, baby, for two weeks?
- - That's right, Miss A.
- 40
- 00:03:08,191 --> 00:03:11,225
- - Two weeks, and you say, what? No toilet?
- - No toilet.
- 41
- 00:03:11,227 --> 00:03:14,631
- No toilet. And that ain't
- no way for no human to live.
- 42
- 00:03:21,203 --> 00:03:22,802
- [stifled laugh]
- 43
- 00:03:22,804 --> 00:03:26,208
- Mr. Atkins,
- we done writin' letters here.
- 44
- 00:03:26,709 --> 00:03:28,777
- We want to be heard before
- tomorrow night's ruling.
- 45
- 00:03:29,245 --> 00:03:32,213
- Miss Atwater,
- you know our agenda is tight,
- 46
- 00:03:32,215 --> 00:03:36,284
- and we simply cannot allot time
- to everybody that wants to speak.
- 47
- 00:03:36,286 --> 00:03:39,687
- - [telephone rings]
- - Now thank you. Show yourselves out.
- 48
- 00:03:39,689 --> 00:03:43,257
- Mr. Tucker, to what
- do I owe this pleasure?
- 49
- 00:03:43,259 --> 00:03:45,428
- - Sit down.
- - [Atkins laughs]
- 50
- 00:03:45,928 --> 00:03:49,032
- And a mighty fine afternoon
- to you, too.
- 51
- 00:03:49,633 --> 00:03:52,800
- Now you listen to me, Councilman!
- And you too, Mr. Tucker!
- 52
- 00:03:52,802 --> 00:03:56,103
- We ain't goin' nowhere until
- we get down to the brass tacks.
- 53
- 00:03:56,105 --> 00:03:58,265
- - You understand me?
- - Everything all right here, Bill?
- 54
- 00:03:59,975 --> 00:04:04,145
- Mr. Oldham, now we have been
- sitting here for over half an hour.
- 55
- 00:04:04,147 --> 00:04:06,349
- - The councilman ain't done nothin' but...
- - Ann.
- 56
- 00:04:06,948 --> 00:04:10,687
- Ann. We're gonna give you your
- chance to speak tomorrow night.
- 57
- 00:04:12,822 --> 00:04:13,956
- Are we good now?
- 58
- 00:04:15,825 --> 00:04:17,460
- [chuckles] Not yet.
- 59
- 00:04:19,596 --> 00:04:20,664
- Come on.
- 60
- 00:04:28,405 --> 00:04:30,474
- [insects buzzing]
- 61
- 00:04:33,109 --> 00:04:35,610
- [man] Samuel Grace. Ayes?
- 62
- 00:04:35,612 --> 00:04:37,748
- - [all] Aye.
- - Nays?
- 63
- 00:04:39,116 --> 00:04:42,918
- Okay, then. Fred Eggert,
- Gene Waddle, and Samuel Grace
- 64
- 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120

- as new citizens

- 00:04:47,257 --> 00:04:48,790
- United Klans of America.
- 67
- 00:04:48,792 --> 00:04:51,325
- Kligraph is directed
- to certify the petitions
- 68
- 00:04:51,327 --> 00:04:53,961
- and prepare the oaths
- for ceremony.
- 69
- 00:04:53,963 --> 00:04:55,365
- Roy, next week should be fine.
- 70
- 00:04:56,633 --> 00:04:59,434
- Final item.
- Combat and firearms training
- 71
- 00:04:59,436 --> 00:05:01,405
- resumes this Saturday
- from noon to 4:00
- 72
- 00:05:02,071 --> 00:05:05,376
- under the supervision of
- second officer Floyd Kelly.
- 73
- 00:05:06,042 --> 00:05:09,544
- And I'll remind the Youth Corps members
- that this training is mandatory.
- 74
- 00:05:09,546 --> 00:05:12,047
- Y'all hear me?
- I'm talkin' to you.
- 75
- 00:05:12,049 --> 00:05:14,251
- - Yeah.
- - [men chuckling]
- 76
- 00:05:15,018 --> 00:05:16,220
- Let's bow our heads.
- 77
- 00:05:19,691 --> 00:05:22,491
- Heavenly Father, give us strong
- minds, great hearts,
- 78
- 00:05:22,493 --> 00:05:24,428
- true faith, and ready hands.
- 79
- 00:05:24,863 --> 00:05:27,497
- Keep us unfettered
- from the world
- 80
- 00:05:27,499 --> 00:05:28,930
- that we might fight
- the good fight
- 81
- 00:05:28,932 --> 00:05:30,999
- and be worthy
- to claim the prize.
- 82
- 00:05:31,001 --> 00:05:35,472
- May we as brethren and Klansmen
- be steadfast and unremovable.
- 83
- 00:05:35,905 --> 00:05:37,639
- As we go hence
- from this Klavern
- 84
- 00:05:37,641 --> 00:05:39,976
- into the struggle
- of the alien world,
- 85
- 00:05:40,611 --> 00:05:45,382
- let us not forget the crowning
- glory of a Klansman is to serve.
- 86
- 00:05:46,016 --> 00:05:48,350
- Non silba, sed anthar.
- 87
- 00:05:48,352 --> 00:05:51,221
- [all]
- Not for self, but for others!
- 88
- 00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:53,488
- - Get him ready.
- - Mm-hmm.
- 89
- 00:05:53,490 --> 00:05:55,457
- - You can say that again.
- - He was born ready.
- 90
- 00:05:55,459 --> 00:05:56,494
- Ready or not.
- 91
- 00:05:57,562 --> 00:05:58,630
- Mr. Ellis?
- 92
- 00:05:59,129 --> 00:06:00,996
- Oh, hey.
- 93
- 00:06:00,998 --> 00:06:03,533
- This is, uh, this is the new
- boy I was telling you about.
- 94
- 00:06:03,535 --> 00:06:05,668
- Oh, sure. Sure, sure.
- 95
- 00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:07,470
- Sure, Ben.
- Come on in the office.
- 96
- 00:06:07,472 --> 00:06:08,807
- I'll see you fellas.
- 97
- 00:06:11,443 --> 00:06:12,710
- Have a seat.
- 98
- 00:06:17,582 --> 00:06:19,115
- What's your name, son?
- 99
- 00:06:19,117 --> 00:06:20,920
- [clears throat]
- Leonard, sir.
- 100
- 00:06:22,822 --> 00:06:24,388
- Don't be nervous, Leonard.
- 101
- 00:06:25,355 --> 00:06:27,859
- Ben here tells me you'd like to
- be a part of the Youth Corps.
- 102
- 00:06:28,726 --> 00:06:29,861
- Yes. Yes, sir.
- 103
- 00:06:31,429 --> 00:06:33,565
- Why do you want to be in
- the Youth Corps, Leonard?
- 104
- 00:06:34,265 --> 00:06:35,934
- [clears throat]
- To help...
- 105
- 00:06:36,434 --> 00:06:39,335
- To help protect
- the white race of America
- 106
- 00:06:39,337 --> 00:06:43,475
- from the communist niggers
- and Jews who threaten us, sir.
- 107
- 00:06:44,275 --> 00:06:45,945
- - That's a good boy.
- - [desk drawer opens]
- 108
- 00:06:47,011 --> 00:06:49,412
- - But that's not all.
- - [drawer slides shut]
- 109
- 00:06:49,414 --> 00:06:51,949
- It's our rights,
- our freedoms,
- 110
- 00:06:51,951 --> 00:06:53,985
- our way of life
- that need protecting.
- 111
- 00:06:54,753 --> 00:06:57,053
- We're an endangered species,
- Leonard.
- 112
- 00:06:57,055 --> 00:06:58,056
- You understand?
- 113
- 00:06:58,691 --> 00:06:59,692
- I do.
- 114
- 00:07:01,694 --> 00:07:02,862
- Let me show you something.
- 115
- 00:07:03,429 --> 00:07:04,630
- You see that?
- 116
- 00:07:05,664 --> 00:07:07,898
- One day, this will be
- your most prized possession.
- 117
- 00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,302
- It will give you everything
- you need in your life.
- 118
- 00:07:10,769 --> 00:07:14,939
- Brotherhood, standing in the
- community, and a sense of pride
- 119
- 00:07:15,507 --> 00:07:17,809
- that you're part of something
- bigger than yourself.
- 120
- 00:07:18,810 --> 00:07:22,982
- But most importantly,
- it will be a reminder every day
- 121
- 00:07:23,648 --> 00:07:26,317
- that you will no longer be
- an outsider.
- 122
- 00:07:30,255 --> 00:07:31,289
- [box shuts]
- 123
- 00:07:31,924 --> 00:07:33,826
- Welcome to the Youth Corps,
- Leonard.
- 124
- 00:07:34,927 --> 00:07:36,160
- [knocking]
- 125
- 00:07:36,962 --> 00:07:38,564
- We gonna
- take care of that thing?
- 126
- 00:07:38,864 --> 00:07:39,965
- Yeah.
- 127
- 00:07:40,499 --> 00:07:42,902
- Ben, bring the car around,
- out back.
- 128
- 00:07:54,681 --> 00:07:56,248
- [engine off]
- 129
- 00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:12,063
- Now what?
- 130
- 00:08:17,536 --> 00:08:18,604
- We wait.
- 131
- 00:08:20,706 --> 00:08:22,241
- [man chuckling]
- 132
- 00:08:26,245 --> 00:08:28,547
- - [radio: man singing ballad]
- - [humming along]
- 133
- 00:08:44,564 --> 00:08:47,333
- [song continues on radio,

- 134
- 00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:56,141

- [dog howls]
- 137
- 00:09:10,957 --> 00:09:12,837
- - She got a nigger boyfriend.
- - [lighter clicks]
- 138
- 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,462
- The neighbors have
- been complaining.
- 139
- 00:09:21,068 --> 00:09:22,103
- Stay here.
- 140
- 00:09:23,770 --> 00:09:26,439
- [song continues]
- 141
- 00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:49,295
- Wait for the light, Wiley.
- 142
- 00:09:59,472 --> 00:10:00,507
- [screams]
- 143
- 00:10:37,277 --> 00:10:39,279
- [chorus vocalizing,
- fading out]
- 144
- 00:10:41,515 --> 00:10:44,919
- - [telephones ringing]
- - [typewriters clacking]
- 145
- 00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:47,419
- [sighs]
- 146
- 00:10:47,421 --> 00:10:50,057
- Hey. Thank you. Mm-hmm.
- 147
- 00:10:50,591 --> 00:10:51,859
- Miss Dupree.
- 148
- 00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:56,797
- Miss Dupree... Yes, I know,
- Miss Dupree, but...
- 149
- 00:10:58,365 --> 00:10:59,467
- Hold on, Miss Dupree.
- 150
- 00:11:00,168 --> 00:11:02,168
- Miss Dupree says
- she can't make it. Her kids...
- 151
- 00:11:02,170 --> 00:11:03,437
- Oh, no. Come here.
- 152
- 00:11:04,072 --> 00:11:07,306
- Cissy, you better get your ass
- down to City Hall tonight.
- 153
- 00:11:07,308 --> 00:11:09,077
- No, no,
- I don't want to hear that.
- 154
- 00:11:09,310 --> 00:11:12,077
- I have been a single mother
- ever since I was 16,
- 155
- 00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:14,113
- and that's a whole hell
- of a lot longer than you.
- 156
- 00:11:14,115 --> 00:11:16,815
- - [chuckles]
- - Well, child, it's supposed to be hard.
- 157
- 00:11:16,817 --> 00:11:18,917
- Are you gonna be there
- later tonight or what?
- 158
- 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,188
- I better see your face
- lookin' black and angry.
- 159
- 00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:23,355
- Mm-hmm.
- 160
- 00:11:23,357 --> 00:11:24,592
- Who's next?
- 161
- 00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:32,234
- [bell dings]
- 162
- 00:11:39,875 --> 00:11:41,977
- Hey, Jeb, I'll take this one.
- 163
- 00:11:42,544 --> 00:11:43,979
- [Jeb] Sure, Mr. Ellis.
- 164
- 00:11:44,446 --> 00:11:46,882
- - Finish up that tire for me, will you?
- - All right.
- 165
- 00:11:59,326 --> 00:12:00,526
- Can you
- fill the place tonight?
- 166
- 00:12:01,129 --> 00:12:03,263
- You know I can, Carvie.
- What's up?
- 167
- 00:12:03,265 --> 00:12:05,133
- We're ruling
- on Greenfeld tonight.
- 168
- 00:12:05,566 --> 00:12:08,134
- Ann Atwater and all her
- Operation Breakthrough niggers
- 169
- 00:12:08,136 --> 00:12:10,537
- are gonna make a scene.
- I just need numbers.
- 170
- 00:12:10,539 --> 00:12:13,475
- Jesus. Greenfeld.
- You gonna help that scum?
- 171
- 00:12:13,775 --> 00:12:15,844
- [Carvie chuckles]
- You know, C.P....
- 172
- 00:12:16,611 --> 00:12:19,112
- Reelection here.
- He got deep pockets.
- 173
- 00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:21,284
- I need to
- at least appear supportive.
- 174
- 00:12:23,318 --> 00:12:25,520
- And you need to keep your
- friends on the city council.
- 175
- 00:12:25,987 --> 00:12:30,490
- - [car door opens, closes]
- - I know, Carvie. We'll be there.
- 176
- 00:12:30,492 --> 00:12:33,628
- [soul plays; hands clapping]
- 177
- 00:12:40,570 --> 00:12:43,338
- [song continues]
- 178
- 00:13:05,294 --> 00:13:06,628
- [song stops]
- 179
- 00:13:11,267 --> 00:13:13,870
- [C.P.] Oh, you late. Yeah.
- 180
- 00:13:15,338 --> 00:13:17,504
- I guess that's
- what they call Africa time.
- 181
- 00:13:17,506 --> 00:13:18,973
- [men laugh]
- 182
- 00:13:18,975 --> 00:13:20,535
- [female clerk]
- First item on the docket.
- 183
- 00:13:20,877 --> 00:13:23,311
- In the matter of the
- Edgemont community housing,
- 184
- 00:13:23,313 --> 00:13:26,013
- the council will first hear
- from Mr. Paulsen,
- 185
- 00:13:26,015 --> 00:13:28,216
- representing Mr. Greenfeld.
- 186
- 00:13:28,218 --> 00:13:29,852
- [spectators groaning,
- murmuring]
- 187
- 00:13:32,089 --> 00:13:33,090
- Good evening.
- 188
- 00:13:34,024 --> 00:13:37,191
- As you know,
- Mr. Greenfeld prides himself
- 189
- 00:13:37,193 --> 00:13:40,560
- on providing comfortable
- housing at affordable rent
- 190
- 00:13:40,562 --> 00:13:43,030
- to a great many people
- in Durham.
- 191
- 00:13:43,032 --> 00:13:44,665
- - [murmuring]
- - [gavel raps]
- 192
- 00:13:44,667 --> 00:13:46,600
- The council will hear
- Mr. Paulsen.
- 193
- 00:13:46,602 --> 00:13:49,570
- As with any dwelling,
- from time to time,
- 194
- 00:13:49,572 --> 00:13:53,574
- there undoubtedly will be some...
- wear and tear.
- 195
- 00:13:53,576 --> 00:13:57,711
- - [laughing, scoffing]
- - Mr. Greenfeld fully intends to address any of these issues
- 196
- 00:13:57,713 --> 00:13:59,116
- that these folks might have.
- 197
- 00:13:59,815 --> 00:14:02,951
- However, with
- the recent inclement weather,
- 198
- 00:14:02,953 --> 00:14:06,855
- Mr. Greenfeld has had insufficient
- time to get to everyone.
- 199
- 00:14:06,857 --> 00:14:08,424
- That's a lie.
- 200
- 00:14:08,725 --> 00:14:10,692
- - [gavel raps]
- - We ask that the council grant us
- 201
- 00:14:10,694 --> 00:14:14,231
- the 90-day extension
- for these minor repairs.
- 202
- 00:14:14,932 --> 00:14:15,933
- Thank you.
- 203
- 00:14:16,566 --> 00:14:17,634
- Miss Atwater?
- 204
- 00:14:35,419 --> 00:14:39,722
- Uncomfortable housing
- and unaffordable rent
- 205
- 00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:44,859
- are about the only two things
- Abe Greenfeld has ever given us.
- 206
- 00:14:44,861 --> 00:14:46,628
- [exclaiming, applauding]
- 207
- 00:14:46,630 --> 00:14:49,497
- Now,
- I have here with me
- 208
- 00:14:49,499 --> 00:14:54,905
- 79 written complaints from
- the residents of Edgemont.
- 209
- 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,573
- Each and every last one of
- them is a code violation.
- 210
- 00:14:58,575 --> 00:15:01,545
- - [exclaiming, applauding]
- - [gavel raps]
- 211
- 00:15:02,113 --> 00:15:04,413
- I brought 'em here with me
- 'cause, obviously,
- 212
- 00:15:04,415 --> 00:15:07,015
- you ain't get 'em the first couple
- times when they were sent here.
- 213
- 00:15:07,484 --> 00:15:10,288
- [exclaiming, applauding]
- 214
- 00:15:11,154 --> 00:15:12,687
- - [gavel raps]
- - Order!
- 215
- 00:15:12,689 --> 00:15:15,590
- Now we are fed up
- with this man
- 216
- 00:15:15,592 --> 00:15:19,162
- and his eviction notices
- and his rent hikes.
- 217
- 00:15:19,796 --> 00:15:23,800
- He has absolutely no care for
- his tenants' living conditions.
- 218
- 00:15:24,067 --> 00:15:27,702
- We humans. Humans shouldn't
- have to live like this.
- 219
- 00:15:27,704 --> 00:15:29,971
- [clamoring]
- 220
- 00:15:29,973 --> 00:15:32,276
- [gavel rapping]
- 221
- 00:15:32,642 --> 00:15:35,077
- Thank you for your comments,
- Miss Atwater.
- 222
- 00:15:35,079 --> 00:15:37,512
- And I will personally
- 223
- 00:15:37,514 --> 00:15:39,748
- pass those complaints
- on to the housing commission
- 224
- 00:15:39,750 --> 00:15:42,320
- for future review.
- 225
- 00:15:42,954 --> 00:15:46,288
- At this time,
- the council will grant
- 226
- 00:15:46,290 --> 00:15:48,326
- the requested
- 90-day extension.
- 227
- 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,996
- Thank you all. This council will
- now stand in recess till next week.
- 228
- 00:15:55,133 --> 00:15:56,200
- Bye.
- 229
- 00:15:59,970 --> 00:16:01,490
- [woman] Put down that
- paper, Claiborne.
- 230
- 00:16:02,373 --> 00:16:04,908
- - Put it down.
- - All right. Okay, Mama.
- 231
- 00:16:06,743 --> 00:16:08,279
- - Daddy.
- - Huh?
- 232
- 00:16:08,678 --> 00:16:10,580
- Hey, it's time
- to visit with your children.
- 233
- 00:16:11,182 --> 00:16:14,052
- - Claiborne!
- - I'm visiting. I-I...
- 234
- 00:16:14,752 --> 00:16:15,920
- I'm visiting.
- 235
- 00:16:17,889 --> 00:16:19,424
- How's your marks, Tim?
- 236
- 00:16:20,858 --> 00:16:22,360
- [mother]
- Tim, answer your father.
- 237
- 00:16:23,861 --> 00:16:25,563
- I'm gettin' an "F" in math.
- 238
- 00:16:25,830 --> 00:16:27,270
- - That's 'cause you're stupid.
- - Hey!
- 239
- 00:16:29,234 --> 00:16:31,268
- Well, I know it ain't for
- a lack of trying, son.
- 240
- 00:16:31,270 --> 00:16:33,537
- Maybe your teacher can give you
- a little extra time after school.
- 241
- 00:16:33,539 --> 00:16:35,174
- I don't think this teacher.
- 242
- 00:16:37,543 --> 00:16:38,876
- Why not?
- 243
- 00:16:39,411 --> 00:16:41,547
- She said I just ain't got
- a head for numbers, Daddy.
- 244
- 00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:44,214
- She said
- that don't matter, though.
- 245
- 00:16:44,216 --> 00:16:46,717
- Said I'll just work in the gas
- station with you when I grow up.
- 246
- 00:16:52,223 --> 00:16:53,257
- Yeah.
- 247
- 00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:56,562
- Maybe this teacher
- ain't so smart.
- 248
- 00:16:58,830 --> 00:17:01,730
- I'm gonna stop in at Murdock this
- morning before I go in. See your brother.
- 249
- 00:17:01,732 --> 00:17:03,933
- - Give him a kiss for us, Daddy.
- - You bet.
- 250
- 00:17:03,935 --> 00:17:05,471
- I don't like that place.
- 251
- 00:17:05,736 --> 00:17:07,571
- That's 'cause it's full of
- weirdos and retards.
- 252
- 00:17:07,573 --> 00:17:08,906
- Kenneth Wade!
- 253
- 00:17:09,408 --> 00:17:11,241
- Don't be
- calling your brother that.
- 254
- 00:17:11,243 --> 00:17:13,009
- I wasn't talking about him.
- 255
- 00:17:13,011 --> 00:17:15,214
- - He just ain't as lucky as you is all.
- - That's right.
- 256
- 00:17:16,014 --> 00:17:17,015
- I'm sorry.
- 257
- 00:17:17,416 --> 00:17:19,184
- You be sorry
- cleanin' that table.
- 258
- 00:17:19,918 --> 00:17:21,153
- Yes, sir.
- 259
- 00:17:24,056 --> 00:17:25,858
- I better go.
- Give me some sugar, sugar.
- 260
- 00:17:26,158 --> 00:17:27,326
- Bye, Daddy.
- 261
- 00:17:29,928 --> 00:17:32,097
- [Ann] Let's go, girls.
- Move your backsides.
- 262
- 00:17:35,833 --> 00:17:36,934
- Marilynn.
- 263
- 00:17:37,668 --> 00:17:41,138
- Marilynn!
- Girl, you forgot your lunch.
- 264
- 00:17:41,140 --> 00:17:44,642
- You'd forget your head if it wasn't
- attached to your shoulders. Go on now.
- 265
- 00:17:57,289 --> 00:17:59,925
- [nurse] Hey, come on.
- Help me out here.
- 266
- 00:18:03,662 --> 00:18:04,696
- Come on.
- 267
- 00:18:11,837 --> 00:18:13,872
- No. You gotta
- help me out here.
- 268
- 00:18:14,806 --> 00:18:15,842
- Hey, buddy.
- 269
- 00:18:16,843 --> 00:18:17,877
- Hey, buddy.
- 270
- 00:18:18,645 --> 00:18:19,712
- It's Daddy.
- 271
- 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,482
- How you doing, pumpkin?
- 272
- 00:18:22,981 --> 00:18:24,214
- You have breakfast yet?
- 273
- 00:18:24,216 --> 00:18:25,817
- Pancakes this morning.
- 274
- 00:18:26,118 --> 00:18:28,555
- Oh! Hey, buddy,
- that's your favorite.
- 275
- 00:18:31,424 --> 00:18:32,525
- Thank you.
- 276
- 00:18:36,629 --> 00:18:39,865
- You got eggs
- and maple syrup.
- 277
- 00:18:40,533 --> 00:18:43,570
- [humming
- "Oh My Darlin' Clementine"]
- 278
- 00:18:47,006 --> 00:18:48,975
- Supposed to cut this up
- ahead of time.
- 279
- 00:18:50,176 --> 00:18:52,011
- He can't swallow all this.
- 280
- 00:18:54,147 --> 00:18:55,348
- There you go.
- 281
- 00:18:55,982 --> 00:18:57,350
- There you go.
- 282
- 00:19:01,321 --> 00:19:05,557
- So you must multiply
- the three on this side by two.
- 283
- 00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,859
- But remember,
- whatever you do to the bottom,
- 284
- 00:19:08,861 --> 00:19:10,563
- you must do to the top,
- right?
- 285
- 00:19:11,897 --> 00:19:13,564
- Good.
- So, I want you to go ahead,
- 286
- 00:19:13,566 --> 00:19:15,602
- work out the equations
- that I gave you.
- 287
- 00:19:17,503 --> 00:19:19,736
- Let's do the next one,
- let's see what you come up with.
- 288
- 00:19:19,738 --> 00:19:21,207
- All right?
- 289
- 00:19:22,675 --> 00:19:25,209
- [metallic creaking]
- 290
- 00:19:25,211 --> 00:19:27,447

- [children screaming, shouting]
- 292
- 00:19:34,688 --> 00:19:35,855
- [woman] Don't...
- 293
- 00:19:44,265 --> 00:19:46,066
- [coughing]
- 294
- 00:19:52,406 --> 00:19:54,842
- [sirens approaching]
- 295
- 00:19:55,376 --> 00:19:56,443
- Over here. Come on.
- 296
- 00:19:56,910 --> 00:19:58,845
- [rings]
- 297
- 00:20:00,780 --> 00:20:02,248
- Ann Atwater.
- 298
- 00:20:05,018 --> 00:20:06,052
- Hey, baby.
- 299
- 00:20:08,489 --> 00:20:09,690
- - [Marilynn] Mama!
- - Oh!
- 300
- 00:20:10,156 --> 00:20:11,657
- Thank God. [exhales]
- 301
- 00:20:11,659 --> 00:20:13,759
- - Are you okay?
- - I'm okay.
- 302
- 00:20:13,761 --> 00:20:16,263
- Okay, baby. You go wait in the car.
- I'll be right there.
- 303
- 00:20:17,431 --> 00:20:20,465
- - Is anybody hurt?
- - Everyone's okay. Just lots of smoke.
- 304
- 00:20:20,467 --> 00:20:21,900
- How did it start?
- 305
- 00:20:21,902 --> 00:20:23,302
- [man]
- Most likely electrical,
- 306
- 00:20:23,304 --> 00:20:24,803
- the way they keep
- this place up.
- 307
- 00:20:24,805 --> 00:20:27,139
- Or it could've been set
- on purpose.
- 308
- 00:20:27,141 --> 00:20:29,510
- No. Klan ain't that stupid.
- 309
- 00:20:29,977 --> 00:20:31,045
- [man] Why do you say that?
- 310
- 00:20:31,979 --> 00:20:34,014
- When a black school burns,
- then...
- 311
- 00:20:36,150 --> 00:20:37,184
- Then what?
- 312
- 00:20:39,688 --> 00:20:42,290
- Then the black kids
- gotta find a new school.
- 313
- 00:20:44,326 --> 00:20:46,227
- [laughter]
- 314
- 00:20:51,598 --> 00:20:53,999
- Turns out,
- he left the thing in neutral.
- 315
- 00:20:54,001 --> 00:20:56,168
- It rolls
- right back into the ravine.
- 316
- 00:20:56,170 --> 00:20:58,337
- They didn't find that truck
- for two weeks.
- 317
- 00:20:58,339 --> 00:21:01,840
- Oh, are you talking about how
- small your pecker is again, Wiley?
- 318
- 00:21:01,842 --> 00:21:04,444
- - [laughter]
- - That ain't funny, Doreen.
- 319
- 00:21:04,446 --> 00:21:07,549
- Yeah, it ain't that kind of funny.
- That's for sure.
- 320
- 00:21:13,388 --> 00:21:16,056
- [song on jukebox, muffled]
- 321
- 00:21:26,401 --> 00:21:28,336
- [laughing]
- 322
- 00:21:29,904 --> 00:21:31,741
- [Floyd] You-You wait...
- 323
- 00:21:35,844 --> 00:21:37,479
- The guy's got one arm.
- 324
- 00:21:38,446 --> 00:21:39,447
- C.P.
- 325
- 00:21:40,482 --> 00:21:44,285
- Garland... Garland Keith, my friend.
- You're out late.
- 326
- 00:21:45,085 --> 00:21:47,820
- - You wanna have a seat?
- - No, thank you. Gentlemen.
- 327
- 00:21:47,822 --> 00:21:50,990
- Well, something must be awfully
- important for you to lower yourself
- 328
- 00:21:50,992 --> 00:21:53,192
- - to come to a dump like this, Garland.
- - Floyd, come on now.
- 329
- 00:21:53,194 --> 00:21:54,396
- No, no. Mm-mmm.
- 330
- 00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:57,397
- I like
- the White Citizens' Council,
- 331
- 00:21:57,399 --> 00:22:00,834
- with their parade floats and
- their fancy country club meetings.
- 332
- 00:22:00,836 --> 00:22:04,671
- I'm always honored to mop up after
- 'em, do the dirty work.
- 333
- 00:22:04,673 --> 00:22:06,906
- You'll have to excuse Mr. Kelly.
- It's been a long week.
- 334
- 00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:09,843
- [Garland] Sorry to say it's
- about to get a bit longer.
- 335
- 00:22:09,845 --> 00:22:13,212
- There was a fire out at
- East End Elementary today.
- 336
- 00:22:13,214 --> 00:22:14,949
- So what? It's a black school.
- 337
- 00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:19,952
- The parents have already filed
- a petition to allow the students
- 338
- 00:22:19,954 --> 00:22:23,158
- to finish out the year
- at Durham Elementary School.
- 339
- 00:22:23,792 --> 00:22:26,628
- There's an emergency
- council meeting tomorrow.
- 340
- 00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:32,000
- Well... Ann Atwater?
- 341
- 00:22:32,868 --> 00:22:34,068
- I think so.
- 342
- 00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:37,370
- [C.P.] This ain't no small
- landlord dispute, Garland.
- 343
- 00:22:37,372 --> 00:22:39,140
- We gonna need everybody
- on this one.
- 344
- 00:22:40,275 --> 00:22:42,076
- Well, that's why
- I'm here, C.P.
- 345
- 00:22:49,452 --> 00:22:50,753
- Were you scared?
- 346
- 00:22:53,022 --> 00:22:54,056
- A little.
- 347
- 00:22:55,124 --> 00:22:56,325
- [sighs]
- 348
- 00:22:58,294 --> 00:22:59,995
- It's gonna be
- all right, okay?
- 349
- 00:23:01,397 --> 00:23:03,299
- All right, baby?
- You get some rest.
- 350
- 00:23:04,099 --> 00:23:05,802
- Try to go to sleep, okay?
- 351
- 00:23:09,773 --> 00:23:10,972
- You warm enough?
- 352
- 00:23:11,407 --> 00:23:12,773
- [Marilynn] Mm-hmm.
- 353
- 00:23:12,775 --> 00:23:14,275
- [kisses, chuckles]
- 354
- 00:23:15,611 --> 00:23:16,879
- - Mama?
- - Mm-hmm?
- 355
- 00:23:18,781 --> 00:23:20,516
- Where are we gonna
- go to school now?
- 356
- 00:23:21,851 --> 00:23:23,652
- Don't you worry
- about a thing, okay?
- 357
- 00:23:25,054 --> 00:23:27,790
- Mama gonna find you
- somewhere real nice to go.
- 358
- 00:23:29,926 --> 00:23:31,193
- Say your prayers.
- 359
- 00:23:34,363 --> 00:23:36,330
- [male reporter]
- The fire was strictly limited
- 360
- 00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:39,099
- to the building's facilities
- and perhaps equipment.
- 361
- 00:23:39,101 --> 00:23:41,903
- [man] I know your first appearance
- here, you can't make an opinion...
- 362
- 00:23:41,905 --> 00:23:44,304
- I'm not gonna have them kids
- going to Tim's school.
- 363
- 00:23:44,306 --> 00:23:45,342
- Mmm.
- 364
- 00:23:46,309 --> 00:23:48,443
- Well, they gonna
- put 'em somewhere.
- 365
- 00:23:48,445 --> 00:23:50,514
- Ain't gonna be
- in Durham Elementary.
- 366
- 00:23:51,013 --> 00:23:53,683
- Tim having enough trouble
- without more distractions.
- 367
- 00:23:55,652 --> 00:23:58,721
- May have to look into one of them
- private schools outside of town.
- 368
- 00:23:59,355 --> 00:24:03,323
- - Oh, yeah. How we gonna pay for that?
- - I'm workin' on it.
- 369
- 00:24:03,325 --> 00:24:06,595
- It ain't gonna work until you start
- sellin' gas to the other half of Durham.
- 370
- 00:24:11,935 --> 00:24:13,135
- What's that
- supposed to mean?
- 371
- 00:24:13,803 --> 00:24:15,070
- You know what it means.
- 372
- 00:24:15,639 --> 00:24:17,639
- - That's not fair.
- - Oh, fair.
- 373
- 00:24:17,641 --> 00:24:20,542
- - Hey.
- - Come on. It's not fair, it's a fact.
- 374
- 00:24:20,544 --> 00:24:22,143
- It's not fair
- 'cause you know I can't.
- 375
- 00:24:22,145 --> 00:24:23,912
- How's it gonna look
- if the president of the Klan
- 376
- 00:24:23,914 --> 00:24:25,813
- is puttin' gasoline
- in a nigger's car?
- 377
- 00:24:25,815 --> 00:24:27,715
- - How's it gonna look to my Klan folk?
- - Oh. Oh, I see.
- 378
- 00:24:27,717 --> 00:24:31,185
- I... I didn't know
- that the Klan pays your bills.
- 379
- 00:24:31,187 --> 00:24:33,655
- - I didn't think so.
- - [groans] Here we go.
- 380
- 00:24:33,657 --> 00:24:35,691
- You spend all that time
- at Klavern hall
- 381
- 00:24:35,693 --> 00:24:39,227
- jaw-jackin' about them niggers
- and them commies and them Jews.
- 382
- 00:24:39,229 --> 00:24:41,498
- - I don't sound like that.
- - Yeah, you do.
- 383
- 00:24:44,569 --> 00:24:46,001
- - Give me some...
- - Eww!
- 384
- 00:24:46,003 --> 00:24:47,504
- Claiborne Ellis,
- you smell like beer.
- 385
- 00:25:08,124 --> 00:25:10,628
- I'm not gonna have them kids
- going to our school.
- 386
- 00:25:12,228 --> 00:25:15,731
- This emergency council meeting
- was called late last night
- 387
- 00:25:15,733 --> 00:25:18,199
- after an apparent
- electrical fire
- 388
- 00:25:18,201 --> 00:25:21,904
- destroyed nearly half
- of East End Elementary School.
- 389
- 00:25:21,906 --> 00:25:24,807
- They've been in session
- for nearly three hours now.
- 390
- 00:25:24,809 --> 00:25:27,478
- [spectators chattering]
- 391
- 00:25:58,776 --> 00:26:01,945
- This council is facing
- some difficult decisions.
- 392
- 00:26:01,947 --> 00:26:06,783
- Tonight, we've had to consider how
- these decisions will affect the students
- 393
- 00:26:06,785 --> 00:26:09,121
- of not one school, but two.
- 394
- 00:26:10,022 --> 00:26:12,521
- We've heard testimony
- from the marshal
- 395
- 00:26:12,523 --> 00:26:15,290
- that eight classrooms
- and three common areas,
- 396
- 00:26:15,292 --> 00:26:16,593
- including the gymnasium,
- 397
- 00:26:16,595 --> 00:26:18,227
- were unaffected by the fire.
- 398
- 00:26:18,229 --> 00:26:19,929
- - Unaffected?
- - Hey.
- 399
- 00:26:19,931 --> 00:26:22,131
- - Have you been to the school?
- - She's breakin' the rules.
- 400
- 00:26:22,133 --> 00:26:24,533
- No, no. Ain't nobody talkin' to
- you, C.P., so shut your mouth.
- 401
- 00:26:24,535 --> 00:26:26,935
- - Miss Atwater, you've had your time.
- - I've seen the school.
- 402
- 00:26:26,937 --> 00:26:29,271
- And if that marshal says that
- school is habitable for children...
- 403
- 00:26:29,273 --> 00:26:30,973
- Miss Atwater,
- you have had your time.
- 404
- 00:26:30,975 --> 00:26:33,442
- ...then he's just lyin'
- or he just plain stupid!
- 405
- 00:26:33,444 --> 00:26:35,912
- - [C.P.] Why don't you shut up?
- - Don't make no sense.
- 406
- 00:26:35,914 --> 00:26:38,482
- - [gavel raps]
- - [clamoring]
- 407
- 00:26:42,954 --> 00:26:43,989
- [man] Shut up!
- 408
- 00:26:44,555 --> 00:26:46,158
- We will have quiet
- in the chamber!
- 409
- 00:26:48,259 --> 00:26:50,527
- - [clamoring quiets]
- - Now what we talkin' about is important,
- 410
- 00:26:50,529 --> 00:26:53,331
- and you're gonna damn well
- listen to us, Mr. Steele.
- 411
- 00:26:53,899 --> 00:26:55,033
- [Carvie] Miss Atwater.
- 412
- 00:26:55,734 --> 00:26:56,735
- Miss Atwater.
- 413
- 00:26:57,569 --> 00:27:00,872
- Kindly take your seat before
- I have a deputy remove you.
- 414
- 00:27:15,721 --> 00:27:16,755
- Now then...
- 415
- 00:27:18,056 --> 00:27:19,723
- it is the opinion
- of this council
- 416
- 00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:22,527
- that there remain
- two basic questions.
- 417
- 00:27:23,327 --> 00:27:28,765
- One, is East End
- a safe and habitable place
- 418
- 00:27:28,767 --> 00:27:31,303
- for its students to finish
- their school year?
- 419
- 00:27:32,071 --> 00:27:35,973
- And two, would the students
- of Durham Elementary
- 420
- 00:27:35,975 --> 00:27:41,047
- be unfairly burdened by the sudden
- and massive influx of new students?
- 421
- 00:27:44,016 --> 00:27:46,953
- Our answer
- to both of these questions...
- 422
- 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,587
- is yes.
- 423
- 00:27:49,589 --> 00:27:51,457
- [scattered applause]
- 424
- 00:27:53,826 --> 00:27:56,927
- With the limited number of
- classrooms that remain at East End,
- 425
- 00:27:56,929 --> 00:28:00,563
- the students will be put
- on a split-shift system.
- 426
- 00:28:00,565 --> 00:28:05,037
- One from 7:00 a.m. to noon,
- the other from noon to 5:00.
- 427
- 00:28:05,437 --> 00:28:07,104
- [cameraman]
- We're good. I got it.
- 428
- 00:28:07,106 --> 00:28:08,241
- [man] Miss Atwater?
- 429
- 00:28:11,043 --> 00:28:12,542
- Who the hell are you?
- 430
- 00:28:12,544 --> 00:28:14,814
- Miss Atwater,
- we're from the NAACP.
- 431
- 00:28:19,218 --> 00:28:21,619
- [male reporter]
- WDNC news time, 9:00 a.m.
- 432
- 00:28:21,621 --> 00:28:25,923
- Recapping our top story, the NAACP's
- legal action is causing quite a stir
- 433
- 00:28:25,925 --> 00:28:27,625
- inside the county's
- district court,
- 434
- 00:28:27,627 --> 00:28:29,727
- one source saying
- he would not want to be
- 435
- 00:28:29,729 --> 00:28:31,962
- in Judge Les Hallford's shoes
- this morning.
- 436
- 00:28:31,964 --> 00:28:34,333
- - [woman] Good morning, Your Honor.
- - [sighs]
- 437
- 00:28:36,736 --> 00:28:37,971
- [Hallford exhales]
- 438
- 00:28:38,538 --> 00:28:41,572
- - Is that it?
- - Just arrived.
- 439
- 00:28:41,574 --> 00:28:45,243
- Full and immediate integration
- of all Durham public schools.
- 440
- 00:28:45,245 --> 00:28:46,813
- [Hallford exhales]
- 441
- 00:28:48,014 --> 00:28:49,980
- Get Wilbur Hobby in here.
- 442
- 00:28:49,982 --> 00:28:51,083
- Yes, sir.
- 443
- 00:28:53,385 --> 00:28:55,452
- You've passed things down
- before.
- 444
- 00:28:55,454 --> 00:28:57,290
- Ah, you know
- I can't do that.
- 445
- 00:28:57,857 --> 00:29:01,961
- These idiots just sent kids back
- into a school that's still smokin'.
- 446
- 00:29:02,328 --> 00:29:05,529
- I pass it down, it's the same
- as ruling against.
- 447
- 00:29:05,531 --> 00:29:08,501
- I know. I just wanted to
- make sure you knew that.
- 448
- 00:29:09,569 --> 00:29:13,671
- I asked you here for your
- counsel, Wilbur, not a lecture.
- 449
- 00:29:13,673 --> 00:29:15,006
- Sorry.
- 450
- 00:29:15,008 --> 00:29:16,076
- [exhales]
- 451
- 00:29:17,845 --> 00:29:20,779
- What if you held off,
- delayed your ruling?
- 452
- 00:29:20,781 --> 00:29:24,583
- [scoffs] Delaying the inevitable,
- that's all that would be.
- 453
- 00:29:24,585 --> 00:29:29,387
- No. You delay to allow the people of
- Durham to reach their own decision.
- 454
- 00:29:29,389 --> 00:29:31,223
- I'm not following, Wilbur.
- 455
- 00:29:31,225 --> 00:29:32,359
- [exhales]
- 456
- 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,994
- - I know a guy.
- - [chuckles] You know a guy?
- 457
- 00:29:36,996 --> 00:29:38,762
- Yes, I know a guy.
- 458
- 00:29:38,764 --> 00:29:42,200
- He runs a department at
- Shaw University down in Raleigh.
- 459
- 00:29:42,202 --> 00:29:45,502
- He does this thing.
- Uh, he holds charrettes.
- 460
- 00:29:45,504 --> 00:29:46,840
- Cha-what?
- 461
- 00:29:47,506 --> 00:29:51,176
- They're kind of, uh,
- these official community summits
- 462
- 00:29:51,178 --> 00:29:53,345
- with people from both sides
- of the problem.
- 463
- 00:29:53,347 --> 00:29:56,884
- They're called charrettes.
- He's had some pretty good results.
- 464
- 00:30:00,053 --> 00:30:03,258
- Wilbur, get this guy of yours
- up here.
- 465
- 00:30:07,561 --> 00:30:09,396
- [phone rings]
- 466
- 00:30:21,342 --> 00:30:23,710
- Bill?
- Wilbur Hobby's on the phone.
- 467
- 00:30:33,354 --> 00:30:34,588
- Wilbur Hobby.
- 468
- 00:30:34,955 --> 00:30:37,088
- Why does
- this phone call worry me?
- 469
- 00:30:37,090 --> 00:30:38,957
- [chuckles]
- Well, what a coincidence.
- 470
- 00:30:38,959 --> 00:30:40,759
- I was hoping
- it would worry you.
- 471
- 00:30:40,761 --> 00:30:41,862
- [Bill laughs]
- 472
- 00:30:42,696 --> 00:30:44,196
- How are you, Wilbur?
- 473
- 00:30:44,198 --> 00:30:46,198
- Looks like you're havin'
- some trouble up there.
- 474
- 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,238
- Well, nothing a heavy dose
- of Bill Riddick can't solve.
- 475
- 00:30:52,572 --> 00:30:53,607
- Hello?
- 476
- 00:30:55,343 --> 00:30:58,377
- Look, Bill, I, uh...
- I heard York went well.
- 477
- 00:30:58,379 --> 00:31:01,280
- York, Pennsylvania, isn't
- Durham, North Carolina, Wilbur.
- 478
- 00:31:01,282 --> 00:31:04,953
- Well, all the more reason
- we need you.
- 479
- 00:31:06,054 --> 00:31:08,056
- Look, you're the only one
- that does this.
- 480
- 00:31:08,823 --> 00:31:10,689
- Besides,
- it'll get you outta the house.
- 481
- 00:31:10,691 --> 00:31:12,425
- Delores even said
- you're driving her crazy.
- 482
- 00:31:12,427 --> 00:31:14,093
- [chuckles]
- 483
- 00:31:14,095 --> 00:31:15,930
- We've been
- drivin' each other crazy.
- 484
- 00:31:19,434 --> 00:31:20,766
- All right, Wilbur.
- 485
- 00:31:20,768 --> 00:31:22,337
- - All right.
- - Great.
- 486
- 00:31:22,904 --> 00:31:25,773
- - I'll see you in a few hours, Bill.
- - A... A few hours?
- 487
- 00:31:26,540 --> 00:31:28,009
- - [dial tone]
- - Hello?
- 488
- 00:31:30,812 --> 00:31:32,912
- Now,
- I've asked Bill Riddick here
- 489
- 00:31:32,914 --> 00:31:35,284
- to conduct
- a ten-day community charrette
- 490
- 00:31:36,017 --> 00:31:39,485
- so that the citizens of Durham
- can finally come to a resolution
- 491
- 00:31:39,487 --> 00:31:41,620
- on the school integration
- question.
- 492
- 00:31:41,622 --> 00:31:44,590
- The city council
- will abide this resolution
- 493
- 00:31:44,592 --> 00:31:46,625
- and enact
- the will of the people.
- 494
- 00:31:46,627 --> 00:31:48,763
- That gutless fool.
- 495
- 00:31:49,264 --> 00:31:50,299
- Abide?
- 496
- 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,166
- Abide? It's not even defined.
- 497
- 00:31:53,168 --> 00:31:55,337
- He's making us
- define it.
- 498
- 00:31:56,271 --> 00:31:58,172
- What are we gonna say
- to the press?
- 499
- 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,308
- Nothing.
- 500
- 00:32:00,842 --> 00:32:02,977
- At least not till
- we get a legal opinion.
- 501
- 00:32:03,845 --> 00:32:07,715
- And in the meantime,
- what in good Christ is a charrette?
- 502
- 00:32:08,049 --> 00:32:10,551
- [man singing pop song]
- 503
- 00:32:12,854 --> 00:32:13,888
- [continues on radio]
- 504
- 00:32:19,328 --> 00:32:21,864
- - [continues, indistinct]
- - [bell dings]
- 505
- 00:32:36,545 --> 00:32:39,014
- Uh, yeah, we don't sell
- gasoline to niggers here.
- 506
- 00:32:43,052 --> 00:32:46,155
- I'm not looking for a fill-up.
- Mr. Ellis?
- 507
- 00:32:48,723 --> 00:32:50,025
- My name is Bill Riddick.
- 508
- 00:32:52,394 --> 00:32:53,395
- Yeah?
- 509
- 00:32:54,229 --> 00:32:57,431
- Uh...
- Wilbur Hobby suggested I...
- 510
- 00:32:57,433 --> 00:33:00,869
- - Wilbur Hobby sent you here?
- - Yeah. He said I should come see you, yeah.
- 511
- 00:33:01,070 --> 00:33:03,739
- He said you represent a great
- many people in this town.
- 512
- 00:33:06,509 --> 00:33:08,210
- He'd be right about that.
- 513
- 00:33:08,577 --> 00:33:12,346
- Well, Mr. Ellis,
- I've been asked to organize a charrette.
- 514
- 00:33:12,348 --> 00:33:13,914
- I read the newspaper.
- 515
- 00:33:13,916 --> 00:33:16,119
- - Oh. So then you know...
- - Hold on.
- 516
- 00:33:17,087 --> 00:33:21,923
- Are you here to ask me to come to
- your, uh, integration meetings?
- 517
- 00:33:21,925 --> 00:33:25,895
- Well, for now, just lunch.
- 518
- 00:33:26,628 --> 00:33:28,896
- - Lunch?
- - Tomorrow.
- 519
- 00:33:28,898 --> 00:33:30,800
- With, uh...
- with me and with Ann Atwater.
- 520
- 00:33:32,735 --> 00:33:33,902
- Come again?
- 521
- 00:33:34,770 --> 00:33:36,603
- Well, I was hoping you'd come to
- lunch with me and Ann Atwater.
- 522
- 00:33:36,605 --> 00:33:38,607
- - Ann Atwater?
- - Ann Atwater.
- 523
- 00:33:41,710 --> 00:33:43,277
- [stifled laugh]
- 524
- 00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:45,946
- What did Wilbur Hobby think
- I'd say to that?
- 525
- 00:33:45,948 --> 00:33:48,182
- Well, he thought
- you would say no.
- 526
- 00:33:48,184 --> 00:33:50,917
- - He'd be right about that, too.
- - Well, see here, Mr. Ellis...
- 527
- 00:33:50,919 --> 00:33:54,956
- - You're not from around here, Mr....
- - Riddick.
- 528
- 00:33:54,958 --> 00:33:56,557
- ...so I'll help you out.
- 529
- 00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:58,793
- Folks in this town,
- and especially me,
- 530
- 00:33:58,795 --> 00:34:00,797
- want niggers to stay
- in their own schools.
- 531
- 00:34:02,732 --> 00:34:04,968
- That's definitely one of the
- options, Mr. Ellis.
- 532
- 00:34:06,970 --> 00:34:09,607
- But right now,
- I'm gonna leave you my card.
- 533
- 00:34:12,775 --> 00:34:14,311
- The local number is
- on the back.
- 534
- 00:34:14,844 --> 00:34:17,747
- - You change your mind...
- - Boy, you better get on outta here.
- 535
- 00:34:19,316 --> 00:34:20,750
- Go on, git.
- Like I told you.
- 536
- 00:34:26,655 --> 00:34:29,359
- Mr. Ellis,
- I hope you reconsider.
- 537
- 00:34:30,293 --> 00:34:34,264
- This charrette is happening. So, uh,
- if you truly represent your people...
- 538
- 00:34:35,431 --> 00:34:36,500
- represent them.
- 539
- 00:34:39,736 --> 00:34:40,904
- Have a good day.
- 540
- 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,534
- [Carvie] We know this makes
- you uncomfortable, C.P.
- 541
- 00:35:12,536 --> 00:35:14,869
- But goddamn it, it's the best
- thing that could have happened.
- 542
- 00:35:14,871 --> 00:35:17,805
- "Uncomfortable" isn't exactly
- the word I'd use for it, Carvie.
- 543
- 00:35:17,807 --> 00:35:19,807
- C.P., what do you think
- would happen
- 544
- 00:35:19,809 --> 00:35:22,177
- if a lily-white liberal was
- in there instead of you?
- 545
- 00:35:22,179 --> 00:35:23,547
- Nothing good.
- 546
- 00:35:24,515 --> 00:35:27,049
- A liberal and Ann Atwater
- would pass integration
- 547
- 00:35:27,051 --> 00:35:29,351
- faster than a hot knife
- through butter.
- 548
- 00:35:29,353 --> 00:35:32,020
- - That's what don't make no sense.
- - [Steele] What don't?
- 549
- 00:35:32,022 --> 00:35:34,323
- This Riddick nigger wants
- school integration, right?
- 550
- 00:35:34,325 --> 00:35:36,626
- So why me?
- Why put that on himself?
- 551
- 00:35:36,628 --> 00:35:38,495
- I shoulda been
- the last person on his list.
- 552
- 00:35:41,065 --> 00:35:43,234
- C.P., this judge...
- 553
- 00:35:43,934 --> 00:35:45,537
- Our hands may be tied.
- 554
- 00:35:46,371 --> 00:35:48,837
- But it won't matter if we
- have a friend on the inside.
- 555
- 00:35:48,839 --> 00:35:52,375
- And especially if that friend
- is C.P. Ellis.
- 556
- 00:35:52,377 --> 00:35:54,377
- Oh, Charlie, I...
- 557
- 00:35:54,379 --> 00:35:57,548
- He's about to hand you
- the keys to school integration,
- 558
- 00:35:58,515 --> 00:36:00,251
- and you're going to
- lock the door.
- 559
- 00:36:03,220 --> 00:36:05,289
- [softly singing hymn]
- 560
- 00:36:12,029 --> 00:36:14,666
- - Hey! How you doin'? How your dad doin'?
- - [man] Good.
- 561
- 00:36:17,535 --> 00:36:18,836
- How late is he?
- 562
- 00:36:19,704 --> 00:36:20,804
- Twenty minutes.
- 563
- 00:36:21,606 --> 00:36:25,243
- C.P. comin' to have lunch
- with two niggers. [scoffs]
- 564
- 00:36:25,610 --> 00:36:28,280
- He'd just as soon shoot us
- than do that.
- 565
- 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,913
- Y'all northern folks
- just don't get it.
- 566
- 00:36:30,915 --> 00:36:32,515
- I'm from North Carolina,
- Ann.
- 567
- 00:36:32,517 --> 00:36:34,417
- Oh, yeah? Where about?
- 568
- 00:36:34,419 --> 00:36:37,055
- - Hertford County.
- - That still north of here.
- 569
- 00:36:41,059 --> 00:36:42,093
- He's here.
- 570
- 00:36:58,009 --> 00:36:59,144
- [Ann] Here he go.
- 571
- 00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:17,530
- Would you look at
- that crazy white man?
- 572
- 00:37:18,196 --> 00:37:20,231
- Just pacing back and forth.
- 573
- 00:37:21,866 --> 00:37:23,769
- I ain't waitin' for that cracker.
- I'm hungry.
- 574
- 00:37:24,637 --> 00:37:27,173
- Mr. Ellis?
- Please, come sit down.
- 575
- 00:37:39,851 --> 00:37:41,484
- Well, uh, okay.
- 576
- 00:37:41,486 --> 00:37:43,754
- Um, thank you both
- for coming.
- 577
- 00:37:43,756 --> 00:37:46,155
- Hopefully,
- this is a first step...
- 578
- 00:37:46,157 --> 00:37:49,493
- Hey, I'm not gonna sit here one
- minute longer than I have to, so...
- 579
- 00:37:49,495 --> 00:37:54,565
- Well, go on and git, then. That way, me
- and Bill can have a civilized conversation.
- 580
- 00:37:54,567 --> 00:37:56,866
- - [scoffs]
- - Mr. Ellis, um,
- 581
- 00:37:56,868 --> 00:38:00,406
- I'm holding a steering committee
- meeting here on Saturday.
- 582
- 00:38:00,806 --> 00:38:04,708
- And I've invited people who represent
- all types of citizens in this community.
- 583
- 00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:06,845
- All types?
- Only two types in this town.
- 584
- 00:38:06,847 --> 00:38:10,180
- Well, whites, black,
- liberals, conservatives.
- 585
- 00:38:10,182 --> 00:38:12,049
- For a charrette
- to be successful,
- 586
- 00:38:12,051 --> 00:38:14,853
- we need to bring together a
- large number of diverse people.
- 587
- 00:38:14,855 --> 00:38:17,221
- [scoffs]
- The only folk he gonna bring,
- 588
- 00:38:17,223 --> 00:38:18,989
- they gonna be wearing
- sheets and hoods.
- 589
- 00:38:18,991 --> 00:38:20,259
- Ain't that right, C.P.?
- 590
- 00:38:21,993 --> 00:38:23,027
- [stammers] Hold on.
- 591
- 00:38:24,062 --> 00:38:25,429
- If you already have
- a meeting set,
- 592
- 00:38:25,431 --> 00:38:26,911
- what the hell am I doing
- sitting here?
- 593
- 00:38:27,266 --> 00:38:29,568
- Well, you're here,
- both of you...
- 594
- 00:38:30,536 --> 00:38:34,373
- because I need two co-chairs
- to lead the charrette.
- 595
- 00:38:38,144 --> 00:38:40,212
- [laughs]
- 596
- 00:38:43,582 --> 00:38:46,417
- I'm gonna think about it,
- you know,
- 597
- 00:38:46,419 --> 00:38:50,724
- 'cause I wouldn't want your type takin'
- over this, uh... what'd you call it?
- 598
- 00:38:52,793 --> 00:38:54,795
- Charade? [laughs]
- 599
- 00:38:58,532 --> 00:39:00,434
- I don't know
- what you're up to either.
- 600
- 00:39:01,868 --> 00:39:05,870
- I don't like it.
- You could use me for my help. That's fine.
- 601
- 00:39:05,872 --> 00:39:08,540
- But I am not gonna work
- with that cracker.
- 602
- 00:39:08,542 --> 00:39:10,276
- So you need to look
- somewhere else.
- 603
- 00:39:12,111 --> 00:39:13,379
- This corn bread is good.
- 604
- 00:39:18,350 --> 00:39:20,384
- [woman] I would love it.
- 605
- 00:39:20,386 --> 00:39:23,153
- [people chattering]
- 606
- 00:39:23,155 --> 00:39:24,889
- Let me help you clear this.
- 607
- 00:39:24,891 --> 00:39:27,492
- - It was delicious.
- - Very nice of you. Thank you.
- 608
- 00:39:27,494 --> 00:39:29,294
- You outdid yourself,
- Mrs. Keith.
- 609
- 00:39:29,296 --> 00:39:31,329
- Oh, well, thank you.
- 610
- 00:39:31,331 --> 00:39:34,165
- Ten days is a long time
- with them people, Garland.
- 611
- 00:39:34,167 --> 00:39:38,069
- It's also a long time for them to
- be making decisions on integration
- 612
- 00:39:38,071 --> 00:39:39,971
- without us having a voice.
- 613
- 00:39:39,973 --> 00:39:42,576
- That's not gonna make it
- any easier to sell to my people.
- 614
- 00:39:43,477 --> 00:39:45,646
- Well, you're their
- president, C.P.
- 615
- 00:39:46,714 --> 00:39:48,181
- You just make 'em understand.
- 616
- 00:39:49,951 --> 00:39:53,586
- Hell, it says so right there
- in your Klan Creed:
- 617
- 00:39:53,588 --> 00:39:58,658
- "Failure to know your enemy gives
- them aid and comfort" and all that.
- 618
- 00:40:00,327 --> 00:40:04,865
- I mean, the truth is, C.P., we...
- we don't know the enemy at all.
- 619
- 00:40:05,932 --> 00:40:07,000
- Do we?
- 620
- 00:40:23,784 --> 00:40:26,050
- You're yankin' on the trigger
- too hard.
- 621
- 00:40:26,052 --> 00:40:29,221
- Trick is to think of it as pressin'
- the trigger, not pullin' on it.
- 622
- 00:40:29,223 --> 00:40:30,358
- Ten-hut!
- 623
- 00:40:30,625 --> 00:40:32,124
- Y'all heed this man, now.
- 624
- 00:40:32,126 --> 00:40:33,761
- Mr. Kelly here's an expert.
- 625
- 00:40:34,228 --> 00:40:36,729
- He even knows that word for when
- you breathe out 'fore you shoot.
- 626
- 00:40:36,731 --> 00:40:37,932
- What's that called again?
- 627
- 00:40:38,466 --> 00:40:40,699
- - Respiratory pause.
- - [men laugh]
- 628
- 00:40:40,701 --> 00:40:42,969
- See? What'd I tell ya?
- 629
- 00:40:42,971 --> 00:40:46,005
- - All right, one more, then next up.
- - [man] All right.
- 630
- 00:40:46,007 --> 00:40:48,743
- You didn't care too much for
- that conversation last night.
- 631
- 00:40:49,543 --> 00:40:52,379
- Well, when it's me and you,
- it's fine.
- 632
- 00:40:53,346 --> 00:40:55,449
- I ain't much for talking
- in mixed company.
- 633
- 00:40:56,182 --> 00:40:57,917
- Well, we do need
- people there, Floyd.
- 634
- 00:40:57,919 --> 00:41:00,955
- And Carvie asked me
- personally, so...
- 635
- 00:41:01,722 --> 00:41:04,625
- Yeah, I know it, C.P.
- And I'll back you up on it.
- 636
- 00:41:05,359 --> 00:41:09,528
- - But, uh... be careful.
- - Careful of what?
- 637
- 00:41:09,530 --> 00:41:11,265
- - If you wrestle with a pig...
- - [gun cocks]
- 638
- 00:41:12,567 --> 00:41:13,835
- ...you gonna get muddy.
- 639
- 00:41:15,503 --> 00:41:18,404
- [Bill] Meeting these benchmarks
- successfully will depend entirely
- 640
- 00:41:18,406 --> 00:41:22,542
- on the dedication and enthusiasm
- of this steering committee.
- 641
- 00:41:22,544 --> 00:41:25,545
- And, uh, we haven't got
- much time to get organized,
- 642
- 00:41:25,547 --> 00:41:28,617
- so priority one
- will be to get the word out
- 643
- 00:41:29,116 --> 00:41:34,488
- and to recruit as many citizens as
- possible to come and participate.
- 644
- 00:41:35,790 --> 00:41:39,160
- All right,
- before we go any further,
- 645
- 00:41:39,527 --> 00:41:41,562
- we need to elect
- our two co-chairs.
- 646
- 00:41:43,698 --> 00:41:46,768
- I nominate Ann Atwater...
- 647
- 00:41:49,437 --> 00:41:51,105
- and C.P. Ellis.
- 648
- 00:41:56,578 --> 00:41:58,612
- But he's a Klansman.
- 649
- 00:41:58,614 --> 00:42:00,682
- And we're talking
- about integration.
- 650
- 00:42:01,115 --> 00:42:05,151
- Uh, Mr. Riddick, I already done
- told you I won't work with that man.
- 651
- 00:42:05,153 --> 00:42:07,087
- [scoffs]
- That'd be just fine with me.
- 652
- 00:42:07,089 --> 00:42:09,556
- Everybody know it would be
- just fine with you, C.P.
- 653
- 00:42:09,558 --> 00:42:11,324
- Just hold on a minute now,
- Ann.
- 654
- 00:42:11,326 --> 00:42:13,629
- I'd like to hear from C.P.
- on this. Mr. Ellis.
- 655
- 00:42:15,865 --> 00:42:19,132
- Well, I'm not in the habit of interviewing
- for a job that I don't really want.
- 656
- 00:42:19,134 --> 00:42:21,367
- But you're asking,
- so I'll tell you.
- 657
- 00:42:21,369 --> 00:42:24,537
- Everybody talkin' about nigras want
- this, nigras need that.
- 658
- 00:42:24,539 --> 00:42:27,174
- This whole thing started 'cause
- of what nigras are demanding.
- 659
- 00:42:28,977 --> 00:42:32,646
- What about white folks?
- What about what we want?
- 660
- 00:42:32,648 --> 00:42:35,348
- - You already got everything you want.
- - No, we don't.
- 661
- 00:42:35,350 --> 00:42:38,654
- Now the niggers in this town are trying
- to take away everything we got left.
- 662
- 00:42:39,354 --> 00:42:41,890
- They don't want us to play
- "Dixie" at our schools.
- 663
- 00:42:42,491 --> 00:42:43,993
- That's our song.
- 664
- 00:42:44,793 --> 00:42:47,928
- They're angry when we fly the
- Confederate flag at ball games.
- 665
- 00:42:47,930 --> 00:42:52,133
- And why should one of our boys
- have to play ball under that flag?
- 666
- 00:42:52,135 --> 00:42:54,234
- That flag is
- our proud Southern history.
- 667
- 00:42:54,236 --> 00:42:56,804
- It might be your proud
- Southern history, C.P.,
- 668
- 00:42:56,806 --> 00:42:58,639
- but it sure as hell
- ain't ours.
- 669
- 00:42:58,641 --> 00:42:59,642
- [C.P.] All right.
- 670
- 00:43:00,443 --> 00:43:02,510
- Integrated schools have
- "blacks only" assemblies,
- 671
- 00:43:02,512 --> 00:43:05,046
- "blacks only"
- Martin Luther King this, that.
- 672
- 00:43:05,048 --> 00:43:06,313
- That ain't my history.
- 673
- 00:43:06,315 --> 00:43:07,782
- You wanna talk about schools?
- 674
- 00:43:07,784 --> 00:43:09,885
- Let's talk about schools,
- Mr. Riddick.
- 675
- 00:43:10,886 --> 00:43:12,821
- My sons don't have it easy
- in school.
- 676
- 00:43:13,655 --> 00:43:15,789
- Their teachers ain't even
- teachin' them half the time.
- 677
- 00:43:15,791 --> 00:43:18,111
- And you want to throw them
- together with a bunch of nigras?
- 678
- 00:43:18,193 --> 00:43:20,295
- It's only gonna get worse
- for them.
- 679
- 00:43:21,363 --> 00:43:24,000
- You ask why?
- I'm here to protect my boys.
- 680
- 00:43:25,101 --> 00:43:27,469
- So all the better
- if she don't get in my way.
- 681
- 00:43:33,042 --> 00:43:34,610
- I'll sit with you,
- Brother Ellis.
- 682
- 00:43:35,478 --> 00:43:37,346
- [murmuring]
- 683
- 00:43:40,516 --> 00:43:44,052
- Howard, have you lost
- your everlasting mind,
- 684
- 00:43:44,054 --> 00:43:45,720
- callin' that man
- your brother?
- 685
- 00:43:45,722 --> 00:43:47,488
- [Bill] You're offering
- to co-chair, Howard?
- 686
- 00:43:47,490 --> 00:43:49,124
- Uh, I am.
- 687
- 00:43:49,126 --> 00:43:51,292
- And that's an honest man
- right there, Ann.
- 688
- 00:43:51,294 --> 00:43:53,931
- The only honest man
- that's stood up today.
- 689
- 00:43:54,698 --> 00:43:57,667
- He hates me. [chuckles]
- And he told me why.
- 690
- 00:43:58,901 --> 00:44:02,872
- But then he opened up
- his heart about his sons.
- 691
- 00:44:03,271 --> 00:44:05,506
- Why is he agreeing with me?
- 692
- 00:44:05,508 --> 00:44:07,708
- - I don't know.
- - [Howard] That means he's my brother.
- 693
- 00:44:07,710 --> 00:44:09,590
- [whispers] Did that nigger
- just call me brother?
- 694
- 00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:12,114
- [laughs]
- 695
- 00:44:12,116 --> 00:44:13,382
- Y'all hear that?
- 696
- 00:44:14,617 --> 00:44:17,221
- I'll tell you what you are,
- Howard.
- 697
- 00:44:18,021 --> 00:44:20,057
- You one of them
- "big niggers," ain't you?
- 698
- 00:44:20,891 --> 00:44:24,159
- You done went up north
- and got your college degree,
- 699
- 00:44:24,161 --> 00:44:27,631
- your fancy cars,
- and your fancy suits.
- 700
- 00:44:28,264 --> 00:44:30,532
- Meanwhile, we down here on
- the ground gettin' dirty.
- 701
- 00:44:30,534 --> 00:44:32,901
- Now wait a minute, Ann.
- 702
- 00:44:32,903 --> 00:44:35,737
- The Black Solidarity Committee has
- been working within this community...
- 703
- 00:44:35,739 --> 00:44:38,108
- Oh, shut up, Howard!
- You're late to the fight!
- 704
- 00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:43,480
- And you have no idea what
- real black folk go through.
- 705
- 00:44:43,981 --> 00:44:47,450
- You don't deserve a seat.
- He don't deserve that chair, he don't.
- 706
- 00:44:47,985 --> 00:44:49,920
- Callin' that man his brother.
- 707
- 00:44:52,755 --> 00:44:54,958
- So are you saying you'll accept
- now, Miss Atwater?
- 708
- 00:45:00,197 --> 00:45:02,166

- - [song continues]
- - [indistinct]
- 711
- 00:45:41,505 --> 00:45:44,606
- I'm going to continue to fight
- for us white working men
- 712
- 00:45:44,608 --> 00:45:47,809
- even if I have to sit in a room with
- that awful Ann Atwater to do it.

- 714
- 00:45:49,646 --> 00:45:51,746
- C.P. Ellis don't scare me.
- 715
- 00:45:51,748 --> 00:45:54,749
- We gonna beat school
- segregation once and for all.
- 716

- Well, she's livin'
- in her own fantasy world.

- Good morning, Mr. Ellis.
- 722
- 00:47:14,065 --> 00:47:16,266
- Co-chair office is
- just around the corner.
- 723
- 00:47:16,268 --> 00:47:17,403
- Thank you.
- 724
- 00:47:39,858 --> 00:47:43,460
- All I'm saying is
- our children are way behind.
- 725
- 00:47:43,462 --> 00:47:45,162
- Almost a full year.
- 726
- 00:47:45,164 --> 00:47:47,298
- [woman] Well,
- just havin' white teachers
- 727
- 00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:49,202
- isn't gonna help them
- catch up.
- 728
- 00:47:50,569 --> 00:47:52,103
- [Ann] White teachers?
- 729
- 00:47:52,105 --> 00:47:53,804
- They already got
- some white teachers.
- 730
- 00:47:53,806 --> 00:47:55,974
- It ain't that.
- It's about the books.
- 731
- 00:47:55,976 --> 00:47:58,641
- Newer books don't account
- for a whole year.
- 732
- 00:47:58,643 --> 00:48:00,913
- Newer ain't got
- nothing to do with it.
- 733
- 00:48:01,612 --> 00:48:04,381
- Baby, what's your name?
- In the red shirt. What's your name?
- 734
- 00:48:04,383 --> 00:48:05,918
- - Miles.
- - [Ann] Miles.
- 735
- 00:48:06,652 --> 00:48:08,819
- What year did you
- just finish, Miles?
- 736
- 00:48:08,821 --> 00:48:10,454
- - My junior year.
- - Mm-hmm.
- 737
- 00:48:10,456 --> 00:48:12,558
- And what year
- were your books for?
- 738
- 00:48:13,926 --> 00:48:15,792
- The textbooks were
- for the tenth-graders, ma'am.
- 739
- 00:48:15,794 --> 00:48:16,860
- [scoffs]
- 740

- [murmuring, applauding]
- 741
- 00:48:20,499 --> 00:48:22,133
- Well, how's that gonna work?
- 742
- 00:48:22,135 --> 00:48:24,268
- How's what gonna work, C.P.?
- 743
- 00:48:24,270 --> 00:48:27,173
- You gonna put a bunch of black
- kids who are a year behind...
- 744
- 00:48:28,041 --> 00:48:29,474
- with white kids who aren't.
- 745
- 00:48:29,476 --> 00:48:31,342
- How you gonna teach
- that class?
- 746
- 00:48:31,344 --> 00:48:33,710
- You can't.
- It just ain't possible.
- 747
- 00:48:33,712 --> 00:48:36,580
- So you go ahead
- and get the right books,
- 748
- 00:48:36,582 --> 00:48:40,120
- but you can't teach
- that class, no way. No way.
- 749
- 00:48:40,653 --> 00:48:42,322
- [murmuring]
- 750
- 00:49:09,182 --> 00:49:10,848
- Okay. So tomorrow,
- 751
- 00:49:10,850 --> 00:49:12,950
- we'll break into
- our smaller groups
- 752
- 00:49:12,952 --> 00:49:15,186
- and begin hammering out the
- different resolution points.
- 753
- 00:49:15,188 --> 00:49:18,222
- But we meet back here
- each night for wrap-up.
- 754
- 00:49:18,224 --> 00:49:21,493
- Also, you've noticed these, uh,
- two tables up here on the stage.
- 755
- 00:49:21,495 --> 00:49:24,862
- Along with Mr. Ellis
- and Miss Atwater,
- 756
- 00:49:24,864 --> 00:49:28,202
- ten more of you will be chosen to fill
- these seats as part of our senate.
- 757
- 00:49:28,568 --> 00:49:30,969
- That senate will vote
- on the resolutions
- 758
- 00:49:30,971 --> 00:49:32,671
- on the final night
- of the charrette.
- 759
- 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,040
- Okay.
- Unless there's anything else,
- 760
- 00:49:36,042 --> 00:49:37,710
- I think we could all use
- some sleep.
- 761
- 00:49:38,545 --> 00:49:39,710
- Yes, Reverend?
- 762
- 00:49:39,712 --> 00:49:41,412
- Mr. Riddick,
- 763
- 00:49:41,414 --> 00:49:43,283
- it's been
- quite a tense day.
- 764
- 00:49:44,017 --> 00:49:49,720
- It may be wise if we have some
- positive note to end each session.
- 765
- 00:49:49,722 --> 00:49:51,689
- Something to lift our spirits.
- 766
- 00:49:51,691 --> 00:49:53,791
- I think that's a good idea,
- Reverend.
- 767
- 00:49:53,793 --> 00:49:55,095
- What did you have in mind?
- 768
- 00:49:55,463 --> 00:49:57,895
- Well, I notice
- we have a piano over here.
- 769
- 00:49:57,897 --> 00:50:01,166
- What if we all sing gospel
- music at the end of each night?
- 770
- 00:50:01,168 --> 00:50:02,903
- - Okay.
- - [man] Nigger music.
- 771
- 00:50:03,871 --> 00:50:06,171
- - [crowd murmurs]
- - What did you say?
- 772
- 00:50:06,173 --> 00:50:08,874
- I believe he said
- that's nigger music.
- 773
- 00:50:08,876 --> 00:50:11,844
- Gospel music don't have nothing
- to do with black or white.
- 774
- 00:50:11,846 --> 00:50:15,080
- - It's about God.
- - Praise God, but he... he's right.
- 775
- 00:50:15,082 --> 00:50:17,950
- Gospel music is absolutely
- for black folk.
- 776
- 00:50:17,952 --> 00:50:20,319
- I'm a bit surprised that
- the reverend would suggest
- 777
- 00:50:20,321 --> 00:50:21,453
- something so one-sided.
- 778
- 00:50:21,455 --> 00:50:23,054
- I'm a little disappointed.
- 779
- 00:50:23,056 --> 00:50:24,624
- [Bill] Okay.
- I can appreciate that, C.P.
- 780
- 00:50:24,991 --> 00:50:27,091
- These people would like
- gospel music.
- 781
- 00:50:27,093 --> 00:50:29,530
- So, uh, how would you like
- to represent your people?
- 782
- 00:50:31,931 --> 00:50:35,601
- Well, I'd like to display our Klan
- materials here at the charrette.
- 783
- 00:50:35,603 --> 00:50:38,305
- [spectators murmuring]
- 784
- 00:50:39,607 --> 00:50:40,741
- Klan materials?
- 785
- 00:50:41,408 --> 00:50:42,643
- Mm-hmm.
- 786
- 00:50:45,045 --> 00:50:47,713
- - It's not the same thing.
- - I know that.
- 787
- 00:50:47,715 --> 00:50:50,015
- We can't let him do it. That stuff's
- full of hate. That's all it is.
- 788
- 00:50:50,017 --> 00:50:52,418
- - He gave on the gospel.
- - I don't give a damn what he gave on.
- 789
- 00:50:52,420 --> 00:50:54,487
- Well, he gave, so we give.
- 790
- 00:50:54,489 --> 00:50:57,423
- Bill Riddick, if that stuff shows up
- here, it's gonna be a riot.
- 791
- 00:50:57,425 --> 00:50:59,992
- And you can bet your ass I'm gonna
- be the one leading the charge.
- 792
- 00:50:59,994 --> 00:51:02,397
- Oh, you gonna get all
- Roughhouse Annie on me now, huh?
- 793
- 00:51:02,897 --> 00:51:06,101
- Yeah, I heard tell about you.
- All talkin' and no listenin'.
- 794
- 00:51:06,767 --> 00:51:09,968
- We're here trying to understand each
- other for once and stop fighting.
- 795
- 00:51:09,970 --> 00:51:12,638
- I'll stop fightin' when there
- ain't nothing left to fight for.
- 796
- 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,042
- Then you gonna be goin' uphill
- the rest of your life, Ann.
- 797
- 00:51:16,076 --> 00:51:18,844
- In the meantime,
- I'm-a keep that man here talkin'
- 798
- 00:51:18,846 --> 00:51:20,582
- as long as I possibly can.
- 799
- 00:51:23,050 --> 00:51:25,019
- - [sighs]
- - [Bill] C.P.
- 800
- 00:51:26,321 --> 00:51:27,355
- C.P.
- 801
- 00:51:29,890 --> 00:51:32,458
- This, um,
- display you want to bring.
- 802
- 00:51:32,460 --> 00:51:34,427
- We're willing to go along
- with it.
- 803
- 00:51:34,429 --> 00:51:36,162
- But there'll be folks not wild
- about the sight of it.
- 804
- 00:51:36,164 --> 00:51:38,364
- So, uh, you're gonna need
- to provide some security,
- 805
- 00:51:38,366 --> 00:51:40,300
- someone to watch over it.
- 806
- 00:51:40,302 --> 00:51:42,182
- - I'm not gonna be responsible for it.
- - [blows]
- 807
- 00:51:44,674 --> 00:51:46,141
- This is my security.
- 808
- 00:51:46,975 --> 00:51:48,578
- That gun
- don't belong here.
- 809
- 00:51:49,277 --> 00:51:53,048
- I like to have it close in case I
- need it to do my talkin' for me.
- 810
- 00:51:54,383 --> 00:51:56,518
- This here does the talkin'
- for me.
- 811
- 00:51:56,750 --> 00:52:00,353
- - I have a Bible.
- - Oh, you do? Have you read it?
- 812
- 00:52:00,355 --> 00:52:01,722
- Course I've read it.
- 813
- 00:52:02,190 --> 00:52:04,557
- - Even go to church on Sundays.
- - [Ann] Hmm.
- 814
- 00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:06,626
- Well, then,
- you ought to know, C.P.
- 815
- 00:52:06,628 --> 00:52:07,662
- Know what?
- 816
- 00:52:08,563 --> 00:52:11,199
- Same God made you, made me.
- 817
- 00:52:32,954 --> 00:52:34,388
- That's everything,
- Mr. Ellis.
- 818
- 00:52:34,390 --> 00:52:36,192
- Looks good, Ben. Real good.
- 819
- 00:52:36,492 --> 00:52:38,094
- Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
- 820
- 00:52:49,204 --> 00:52:51,406
- Divided according to race.
- 821
- 00:52:52,608 --> 00:52:54,843
- Uh, six black, six white.
- 822
- 00:52:55,210 --> 00:52:58,044
- The senate members will float in
- and out of different working groups,
- 823
- 00:52:58,046 --> 00:52:59,881
- observing and participating.
- 824
- 00:53:00,449 --> 00:53:02,383
- On the final night
- of the charrette,
- 825
- 00:53:02,385 --> 00:53:04,551
- you will vote
- to either adopt or reject
- 826
- 00:53:04,553 --> 00:53:06,220
- the resolutions
- presented to you.
- 827
- 00:53:06,222 --> 00:53:07,956
- So, we're the final word?
- 828
- 00:53:08,224 --> 00:53:09,789
- Final word, Howard.
- 829
- 00:53:09,791 --> 00:53:12,094
- Two-thirds majority
- to pass each resolution.
- 830
- 00:53:13,863 --> 00:53:15,298
- Eight votes to pass?
- 831
- 00:53:16,432 --> 00:53:19,199
- Then we should be able to handpick
- the other four white members.
- 832
- 00:53:19,201 --> 00:53:21,368
- Well, then, we might as well
- go on home then.
- 833
- 00:53:21,370 --> 00:53:23,003
- C.P.,
- that's not practical.
- 834
- 00:53:23,005 --> 00:53:24,440
- We need to be
- as fair as possible.
- 835
- 00:53:24,741 --> 00:53:27,341
- I'm gonna have to side
- with my friend here.
- 836
- 00:53:27,343 --> 00:53:29,778
- I mean,
- we can surely all agree
- 837
- 00:53:29,780 --> 00:53:31,746
- that every Negro
- in the building
- 838
- 00:53:31,748 --> 00:53:33,614
- is gonna vote yes
- on school integration.
- 839
- 00:53:33,616 --> 00:53:35,749
- That's six automatic votes,
- no matter what.
- 840
- 00:53:35,751 --> 00:53:37,751
- Same's not true
- for every last white person.
- 841
- 00:53:37,753 --> 00:53:39,953
- There's a bunch of liberals
- sittin' out there right now.
- 842
- 00:53:41,891 --> 00:53:45,794
- Look, there are four prominent
- organizations represented
- 843
- 00:53:45,796 --> 00:53:47,594
- in this room, right here.
- 844
- 00:53:47,596 --> 00:53:50,064
- The Klan,
- The White Citizens' Council,
- 845
- 00:53:50,066 --> 00:53:52,468
- Black Solidarity Committee,
- and Operation Breakthrough.
- 846
- 00:53:53,235 --> 00:53:54,538
- You each get your votes.
- 847
- 00:53:54,970 --> 00:53:56,138
- You want fair?
- 848
- 00:53:56,506 --> 00:53:58,408
- We'll pick
- eight regular members.
- 849
- 00:53:58,809 --> 00:54:02,211
- Regular. No black power people, no Klan.
- They're excluded.
- 850
- 00:54:03,347 --> 00:54:04,381
- Agreed?
- 851
- 00:54:08,685 --> 00:54:10,518
- - None of her people?
- - [Bill] No.
- 852
- 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,022
- And none of y'all.
- 853
- 00:54:28,304 --> 00:54:29,338
- Hey!
- 854
- 00:54:29,972 --> 00:54:32,208
- What do you think
- you doing, huh?
- 855
- 00:54:34,478 --> 00:54:36,344
- Leave that alone.
- 856
- 00:54:36,346 --> 00:54:38,881
- Boys need to be reading this
- instead of ripping it up.
- 857
- 00:54:39,683 --> 00:54:44,354
- The Klan is givin' you
- a window to look through.
- 858
- 00:54:46,790 --> 00:54:48,824
- You need to read this stuff
- and understand it.
- 859
- 00:54:48,826 --> 00:54:50,293
- That way,
- you understand them.
- 860
- 00:54:50,627 --> 00:54:54,162
- Okay? You got the upper hand.
- Got it?
- 861
- 00:54:54,164 --> 00:54:56,534
- Get on outta here, Charles.
- Give me that.
- 862
- 00:54:57,334 --> 00:54:59,537
- Should tell your daddy.
- You know better.
- 863
- 00:55:01,406 --> 00:55:02,640
- [exhales]
- 864
- 00:55:07,745 --> 00:55:09,479
- Kids don't make no sense...
- 865
- 00:55:40,711 --> 00:55:44,680
- "...professional experts from in
- the community and from outside
- 866
- 00:55:44,682 --> 00:55:47,583
- will stand by
- listening, learning."
- 867
- 00:55:47,585 --> 00:55:49,754
- [continues reading,
- indistinct]
- 868
- 00:56:14,545 --> 00:56:16,212
- - Ann? Ann?
- - What?
- 869
- 00:56:16,214 --> 00:56:18,249
- - Where are you going?
- - I'm going home.
- 870
- 00:56:19,050 --> 00:56:20,783
- Look,
- I know you're upset, Ann.
- 871
- 00:56:20,785 --> 00:56:22,318
- You don't know nothing!
- 872
- 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:23,920
- I told you
- it was a damn fool idea
- 873
- 00:56:23,922 --> 00:56:25,889
- to let that man
- bring that stuff in here.
- 874
- 00:56:25,891 --> 00:56:27,659
- Ain't no good
- gonna come from it!
- 875
- 00:56:28,059 --> 00:56:30,328
- And I'll tell you
- something else, Bill Riddick.
- 876
- 00:56:30,929 --> 00:56:32,361
- You an even bigger fool
- 877
- 00:56:32,363 --> 00:56:33,996
- if you think you gonna make
- any change
- 878
- 00:56:33,998 --> 00:56:35,465
- with this here meeting.
- 879
- 00:56:35,467 --> 00:56:36,802
- - Is that right?
- - That's right.
- 880
- 00:56:37,369 --> 00:56:39,836
- 'Cause as long as
- the C.P. Ellises of the world
- 881
- 00:56:39,838 --> 00:56:41,171
- keep gettin' their way,
- 882
- 00:56:41,173 --> 00:56:42,672
- ain't nothing gonna change.
- 883
- 00:56:42,674 --> 00:56:44,976
- Yeah, you talk about
- Roughhouse Annie?
- 884
- 00:56:45,943 --> 00:56:48,777
- Keep Uncle Tommin'
- that cracker
- 885
- 00:56:48,779 --> 00:56:50,949
- and you gonna see
- Roughhouse Annie.
- 886
- 00:56:52,016 --> 00:56:55,019
- Go on back up north where you belong,
- 'cause you don't know nothing.
- 887
- 00:57:28,353 --> 00:57:29,555
- Marion Wilson.
- 888
- 00:57:37,261 --> 00:57:39,398
- Okay. The other bowl now.
- 889
- 00:57:42,434 --> 00:57:43,468
- [Garland] Sam Watford.
- 890
- 00:57:45,170 --> 00:57:47,090
- - Is that Scooter Watford's boy?
- - [Horace] Yeah.
- 891
- 00:57:48,574 --> 00:57:50,175
- You won't have
- a problem there.
- 892
- 00:57:50,909 --> 00:57:52,511
- - [C.P.] You sure?
- - Pretty sure.
- 893
- 00:57:52,879 --> 00:57:55,645
- I remember he kept losin' jobs
- during them boycotts.
- 894
- 00:57:55,647 --> 00:57:57,016
- Still pretty sore about it.
- 895
- 00:57:58,051 --> 00:58:00,352
- I don't like that mustache,
- tell you what.
- 896
- 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,655
- All right. Earl Weeks.
- 897
- 00:58:02,989 --> 00:58:04,722
- [laughs]
- 898
- 00:58:04,724 --> 00:58:06,091
- He's... He's with us.
- 899
- 00:58:06,358 --> 00:58:07,627
- [Garland] How do you know?
- 900
- 00:58:08,428 --> 00:58:10,563
- He been a deacon at my church
- since I was a kid.
- 901
- 00:58:11,064 --> 00:58:12,332
- He don't like nobody.
- 902
- 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,068
- - That's a good man.
- - Two for two.
- 903
- 00:58:17,070 --> 00:58:20,704
- Okay, we gonna have an issue
- with this gal Maddy Mays.
- 904
- 00:58:20,706 --> 00:58:22,372
- The blonde over by the window.
- 905
- 00:58:22,374 --> 00:58:23,740
- [Garland]
- Yeah, she's a nurse.
- 906
- 00:58:23,742 --> 00:58:25,243
- [C.P.]
- Yeah, over at Durham Clinic.
- 907
- 00:58:25,711 --> 00:58:28,280
- Real "people person." I think
- that's one to worry about.
- 908
- 00:58:30,016 --> 00:58:31,514
- Last is Lee Trombley.
- 909
- 00:58:31,516 --> 00:58:33,918
- [groans]
- Trombley Hardware.
- 910
- 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,021
- Off of Route Nine.
- 911
- 00:58:35,955 --> 00:58:37,822
- - What do we know?
- - [sighs]
- 912
- 00:58:37,824 --> 00:58:39,425
- I don't know 'bout him, C.P.
- 913
- 00:58:40,393 --> 00:58:41,494
- Might be a problem there.
- 914
- 00:58:42,428 --> 00:58:44,497
- He took over
- after his daddy passed.
- 915
- 00:58:45,398 --> 00:58:47,834
- Family man, two kids, I think.
- 916
- 00:58:48,167 --> 00:58:49,435
- [C.P.] And?
- 917
- 00:58:50,303 --> 00:58:52,536
- [Horace] Everybody that
- works for him is a nigger.
- 918
- 00:58:52,538 --> 00:58:53,573
- Every one.
- 919
- 00:58:54,074 --> 00:58:56,110
- And they all thick as thieves.
- 920
- 00:58:57,710 --> 00:59:00,378
- [taps notebook]
- 921
- 00:59:00,380 --> 00:59:03,651
- All right, I guess it's time we
- get acquainted with Lee Trombley.
- 922
- 00:59:25,405 --> 00:59:26,506
- Can I help you, sir?
- 923
- 00:59:27,573 --> 00:59:29,843
- Uh... Lee around?
- 924
- 00:59:30,176 --> 00:59:32,844
- No, sir. He's not here right now.
- But I'm the manager.
- 925
- 00:59:32,846 --> 00:59:34,148
- Something I can help you with?
- 926
- 00:59:36,784 --> 00:59:38,152
- Uh, no. Um...
- 927
- 00:59:38,986 --> 00:59:40,587
- I'll come back another time.
- 928
- 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,693
- [door opens]
- 929
- 00:59:47,695 --> 00:59:50,330
- - [thunder rumbles]
- - [rain pattering]
- 930
- 00:59:52,067 --> 00:59:53,134
- Okay.
- 931
- 00:59:53,634 --> 00:59:56,335
- Any thoughts, uh, insights?
- 932
- 00:59:57,303 --> 00:59:59,006
- You don't have to
- raise your hand, Maddy.
- 933
- 00:59:59,305 --> 01:00:01,708
- I think it's nice to see
- people talking for once.
- 934
- 01:00:02,142 --> 01:00:04,011
- That ain't talkin'.
- It's yellin'.
- 935
- 01:00:04,377 --> 01:00:06,277
- Well, okay. It's arguing.
- 936
- 01:00:06,279 --> 01:00:09,581
- But people are listening to one another.
- They really are.
- 937
- 01:00:09,583 --> 01:00:13,350
- [Sam] They're arguing.
- I've been listening to it for days,
- 938
- 01:00:13,352 --> 01:00:16,388
- and still no one's answered how
- integration's gonna help my kids.
- 939
- 01:00:16,390 --> 01:00:19,558
- - It sure can't hurt 'em.
- - It sure as hell can.
- 940
- 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,561
- - I'd like to know how.
- - Well, for one,
- 941
- 01:00:22,563 --> 01:00:25,532
- I don't want my daughter sitting
- next to a Negro boy in class.
- 942
- 01:00:25,966 --> 01:00:27,699
- I don't want her
- eatin' next to one,
- 943
- 01:00:27,701 --> 01:00:29,869
- and don't want her being
- at a school dance with one.
- 944
- 01:00:29,871 --> 01:00:32,207
- So, you care
- about your daughter?
- 945
- 01:00:33,340 --> 01:00:35,240
- And you don't want
- to see her get hurt.
- 946
- 01:00:35,242 --> 01:00:36,909
- What's your point?
- 947
- 01:00:36,911 --> 01:00:40,882
- My point is that is
- what we do as parents.
- 948
- 01:00:41,883 --> 01:00:45,784
- When they're little, we try to
- keep them from touching the stove
- 949
- 01:00:45,786 --> 01:00:46,987
- so they don't burn.
- 950
- 01:00:47,921 --> 01:00:51,158
- We teach them to take small
- bites so they don't choke.
- 951
- 01:00:51,959 --> 01:00:54,593
- We worry about
- their first day at school,
- 952
- 01:00:54,595 --> 01:00:56,095
- the first time
- they drive a car,
- 953
- 01:00:56,097 --> 01:00:57,863
- their very first job.
- 954
- 01:00:57,865 --> 01:01:02,667
- See, we want them to avoid
- the pain that we experienced.
- 955
- 01:01:02,669 --> 01:01:04,638
- [chuckles]
- All right. All right.
- 956
- 01:01:04,939 --> 01:01:07,539
- We all gonna sit around,
- hold hands, sing "Kumbaya"?
- 957
- 01:01:07,541 --> 01:01:10,442
- - We see what you're doing, Howard.
- - And what is that, C.P.?
- 958
- 01:01:10,444 --> 01:01:12,779
- That there's no difference
- between blacks and whites, right?
- 959
- 01:01:12,781 --> 01:01:15,414
- 'Cause we all worry
- about our kids.
- 960
- 01:01:15,416 --> 01:01:17,250
- We're all the same, right?
- 961
- 01:01:17,252 --> 01:01:22,155
- Actually, no, C.P. We're not.
- 962
- 01:01:22,157 --> 01:01:24,025
- See, I left some things out.
- 963
- 01:01:24,759 --> 01:01:27,293
- I left out
- that black folks have
- 964
- 01:01:27,295 --> 01:01:30,298
- a whole different menu of pain
- to worry about.
- 965
- 01:01:31,432 --> 01:01:34,269
- Our kids get spit on
- for no reason.
- 966
- 01:01:35,103 --> 01:01:39,974
- Our kids have to move on the
- sidewalk to let white folks pass,
- 967
- 01:01:40,608 --> 01:01:41,943
- or they get beat.
- 968
- 01:01:43,011 --> 01:01:45,379
- Our kids aren't allowed
- to sit where they want,
- 969
- 01:01:45,814 --> 01:01:49,284
- play where they want,
- go to school where they want.
- 970
- 01:01:50,418 --> 01:01:54,787
- See, this is the pain
- they experience every day
- 971
- 01:01:54,789 --> 01:01:58,359
- that we, we can't...
- can't spare them from.
- 972
- 01:02:00,062 --> 01:02:02,764
- And that is a...
- 973
- 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,501
- It's a helpless feeling.
- 974
- 01:02:08,103 --> 01:02:11,140
- A more helpless feeling
- than you could ever know.
- 975
- 01:02:20,615 --> 01:02:22,949
- - I fell right into that one.
- - Yeah.
- 976
- 01:02:22,951 --> 01:02:25,553
- - Shit. You see Trombley's face?
- - Yeah.
- 977
- 01:02:26,288 --> 01:02:29,488
- - Did you get anywhere with Trombley last night?
- - He wasn't there.
- 978
- 01:02:29,490 --> 01:02:31,826
- They were right, though.
- He got a black manager.
- 979
- 01:02:32,493 --> 01:02:34,362
- Well, where we gonna
- get him, then?
- 980
- 01:02:34,796 --> 01:02:36,930
- Right now.
- We gonna crowd him at lunch.
- 981
- 01:02:36,932 --> 01:02:38,364
- Mmm.
- 982
- 01:02:38,366 --> 01:02:40,336
- [Bill] Okay.
- Everybody listen up.
- 983
- 01:02:41,502 --> 01:02:43,502
- We're going to be trying
- something different today.
- 984
- 01:02:43,772 --> 01:02:46,742
- There are name cards at
- each seat in this lunchroom.
- 985
- 01:02:47,142 --> 01:02:49,810
- This will be your seat
- for the rest of the charrette.
- 986
- 01:02:49,812 --> 01:02:51,881
- You may not move
- your name card.
- 987
- 01:02:52,882 --> 01:02:55,382
- And you guessed it,
- the person sitting next to you
- 988
- 01:02:55,384 --> 01:02:57,084
- will not be
- the same color as you.
- 989
- 01:02:57,086 --> 01:02:58,819
- - What?
- - And...
- 990
- 01:02:58,821 --> 01:03:02,656
- And no discussion of issues
- during this hour.
- 991
- 01:03:02,658 --> 01:03:03,893
- Talk about something else.
- 992
- 01:03:41,765 --> 01:03:44,367
- [no audible dialogue]
- 993
- 01:03:52,242 --> 01:03:54,678
- [Ann singing softly]
- 994
- 01:04:00,716 --> 01:04:02,085
- [Ann clears throat]
- 995
- 01:04:30,314 --> 01:04:31,846
- I just can't do it. Mm-mm.
- 996
- 01:04:31,848 --> 01:04:34,418
- Mm-mm! Mm-mm-mm.
- 997
- 01:04:35,618 --> 01:04:37,687
- These fish sticks is dry.
- 998
- 01:04:44,227 --> 01:04:45,695
- Well... Hmm.
- 999
- 01:04:46,429 --> 01:04:48,365
- If we can't change
- anything else,
- 1000
- 01:04:48,765 --> 01:04:51,234
- we can sure demand
- better school lunches, huh?
- 1001
- 01:04:51,801 --> 01:04:53,703
- We're not supposed to
- talk about issues.
- 1002
- 01:04:55,672 --> 01:04:57,073
- I guess you're right.
- 1003
- 01:05:03,813 --> 01:05:04,848
- Howard...
- 1004
- 01:05:05,648 --> 01:05:07,650
- Howard was wrong in there,
- weren't he?
- 1005
- 01:05:08,352 --> 01:05:10,187
- - Wrong?
- - Mm-hmm.
- 1006
- 01:05:11,856 --> 01:05:16,524
- Well, I mean, he weren't wrong
- about what black kids go through.
- 1007
- 01:05:16,526 --> 01:05:17,560
- But...
- 1008
- 01:05:19,030 --> 01:05:23,901
- He was wrong about you not knowing
- what helpless is, weren't he?
- 1009
- 01:05:27,372 --> 01:05:28,572
- What does that mean?
- 1010
- 01:05:32,742 --> 01:05:35,078
- You got a boy out at Murdock,
- don't you, C.P.?
- 1011
- 01:05:35,513 --> 01:05:37,513
- - I don't wanna talk about that.
- - I'm just trying...
- 1012
- 01:05:37,515 --> 01:05:40,184
- Ann, don't talk about my son.
- 1013
- 01:05:41,818 --> 01:05:44,055
- - Don't ever talk about my son.
- - Okay.
- 1014
- 01:05:51,762 --> 01:05:54,865
- - [guitar plays]
- - [man humming]
- 1015
- 01:06:02,374 --> 01:06:04,575
- [man singing country folk]
- 1016
- 01:06:11,183 --> 01:06:13,516
- We're willing to go
- to summer school,
- 1017
- 01:06:13,518 --> 01:06:15,751
- even nights, just to catch
- up with the white students.
- 1018
- 01:06:15,753 --> 01:06:18,890
- Good Lord never intended for
- blacks to have equal rights.
- 1019
- 01:06:34,939 --> 01:06:37,409
- [song continues]
- 1020
- 01:07:29,194 --> 01:07:31,196
- [song ends]
- 1021
- 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,368
- - Daddy!
- - What's wrong? What's wrong, sugar?
- 1022
- 01:07:37,370 --> 01:07:38,404
- It's Larry.
- 1023
- 01:07:49,448 --> 01:07:52,249
- - [boy screaming]
- - What's goin' on?
- 1024
- 01:07:52,251 --> 01:07:54,818
- - Who is this?
- - [nurse] Alvin. He moved in Friday.
- 1025
- 01:07:54,820 --> 01:07:57,621
- Hey, hey.
- Shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh.
- 1026
- 01:07:57,623 --> 01:07:59,789
- [screaming continues]
- 1027
- 01:07:59,791 --> 01:08:02,027
- - Hey, pumpkin.
- - [grunting]
- 1028
- 01:08:03,195 --> 01:08:05,028
- - [C.P.] Go! It's okay.
- - [nurse] It's okay.
- 1029
- 01:08:05,030 --> 01:08:07,398
- [C.P.] No monster.
- No monster, son. No monster.
- 1030
- 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,032
- I got your book.
- I'm gonna read...
- 1031
- 01:08:09,034 --> 01:08:10,700
- Shh, shh, shh.
- Shh, shh, shh.
- 1032
- 01:08:10,702 --> 01:08:11,836
- [girl] It's Vickie.
- 1033
- 01:08:12,138 --> 01:08:13,836
- - Read to him.
- - Okay.
- 1034
- 01:08:13,838 --> 01:08:16,273
- - Come here, pumpkin.
- - I'll be right back.
- 1035
- 01:08:16,275 --> 01:08:18,978
- - Vickie's gonna read to you.
- - It's your sister, Vickie.
- 1036
- 01:08:19,545 --> 01:08:20,745
- Get him out.
- 1037
- 01:08:24,450 --> 01:08:27,318
- - Hey, who's in charge here?
- - Can I help you, Mr. Ellis?
- 1038
- 01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,486
- No. Is there someone else
- I can talk to?
- 1039
- 01:08:29,488 --> 01:08:30,721
- One moment.
- 1040
- 01:08:30,723 --> 01:08:31,757
- Hey.
- 1041
- 01:08:33,159 --> 01:08:35,594
- [bell dinging]
- 1042
- 01:08:35,596 --> 01:08:37,228
- Hey.
- 1043
- 01:08:37,230 --> 01:08:38,530
- - [nurse] I'll be right there.
- - I need help.
- 1044
- 01:08:38,532 --> 01:08:40,164
- - No, sir. No, sir.
- - I need help.
- 1045
- 01:08:40,166 --> 01:08:41,832
- - My son needs help.
- - Step outside that door.
- 1046
- 01:08:41,834 --> 01:08:43,701
- - I need to get my son out of that room.
- - Yes, sir.
- 1047
- 01:08:43,703 --> 01:08:45,835
- Step outside for a moment.
- 1048
- 01:08:45,837 --> 01:08:48,172
- - Now calm it down.
- - I need to get my son out of that room.
- 1049
- 01:08:48,174 --> 01:08:50,341
- - Your son is gonna be just fine.
- - He's scared.
- 1050
- 01:08:50,343 --> 01:08:51,844
- He's not fine.
- He needs to be moved.
- 1051
- 01:08:52,078 --> 01:08:54,011
- Right away.
- Or that other one needs to be moved.
- 1052
- 01:08:54,013 --> 01:08:56,313
- - My son's scared.
- - Look. Look.
- 1053
- 01:08:56,315 --> 01:08:58,949
- It's important that our patients
- stay in familiar surroundings.
- 1054
- 01:08:58,951 --> 01:09:01,852
- 'Cause if they're moved
- too often, they get agitated...
- 1055
- 01:09:01,854 --> 01:09:03,622
- A private room then.
- [stammers]
- 1056
- 01:09:03,624 --> 01:09:05,390
- Give Larry a private room,
- please.
- 1057
- 01:09:05,392 --> 01:09:06,957
- We have regulations
- here at Murdock.
- 1058
- 01:09:06,959 --> 01:09:09,226
- I don't care
- about your regulations.
- 1059
- 01:09:09,228 --> 01:09:12,464
- - Now you move him, or I will. How's that?
- - No, you will not.
- 1060
- 01:09:12,466 --> 01:09:16,468
- Mr. Ellis!
- Call security right now.
- 1061
- 01:09:16,470 --> 01:09:18,572
- You calm yourself down.
- 1062
- 01:09:21,275 --> 01:09:22,806
- [exhales]
- 1063
- 01:09:22,808 --> 01:09:23,810
- God...
- 1064
- 01:09:24,611 --> 01:09:26,446
- How much...
- How much is it again?
- 1065
- 01:09:26,813 --> 01:09:30,915
- A private room is $75 more
- per week.
- 1066
- 01:09:30,917 --> 01:09:32,619
- Now do you wanna pay for that?
- 1067
- 01:09:33,919 --> 01:09:35,386
- I got 16.
- 1068
- 01:09:35,388 --> 01:09:37,457
- Mr. Ellis.
- Listen to me.
- 1069
- 01:09:38,124 --> 01:09:41,227
- Larry will get used to it,
- all right?
- 1070
- 01:09:46,032 --> 01:09:49,434
- You shoulda told me. No one told
- me that boy would be in this room.
- 1071
- 01:09:49,436 --> 01:09:50,702
- - It was...
- - No one told me.
- 1072
- 01:09:50,704 --> 01:09:52,237
- It was a last minute...
- 1073
- 01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:53,639
- You shoulda told me.
- [slaps counter]
- 1074
- 01:09:59,579 --> 01:10:01,982
- [man speaking, indistinct]
- 1075
- 01:10:33,180 --> 01:10:35,113
- [C.P.] You know,
- I'm tryin' to tell you now.
- 1076
- 01:10:35,115 --> 01:10:37,650
- His roommate was wailin'
- and screamin' and...
- 1077
- 01:10:37,652 --> 01:10:39,286
- But they wouldn't
- let me move him.
- 1078
- 01:10:42,457 --> 01:10:43,890
- I wanna take him home.
- 1079
- 01:10:45,626 --> 01:10:47,195
- He's better off with us.
- 1080
- 01:10:49,697 --> 01:10:51,332
- He don't belong there.
- 1081
- 01:10:51,699 --> 01:10:53,167
- He ain't like them others.
- 1082
- 01:10:54,969 --> 01:10:57,138
- Yes, Claiborne, he is.
- 1083
- 01:11:00,709 --> 01:11:03,444
- I'm seeing him tomorrow.
- I'm sure he's fine.
- 1084
- 01:11:04,879 --> 01:11:06,045
- You okay?
- 1085
- 01:11:06,047 --> 01:11:07,548
- Yeah, I'm just tired.
- 1086
- 01:11:09,751 --> 01:11:11,686
- I'll see you at home.
- I love you.
- 1087
- 01:11:19,827 --> 01:11:22,230
- [people chattering]
- 1088
- 01:11:39,414 --> 01:11:41,884
- [people singing gospel,
- muffled]

- - [singing continues]
- - [clapping hands to song]

- [singing fades]

- [woman on P.A., indistinct]
- 1093
- 01:13:49,012 --> 01:13:50,245
- Can I help you?
- 1094
- 01:13:50,847 --> 01:13:52,849
- You can't,
- but Bernadette can.
- 1095
- 01:13:54,183 --> 01:13:55,852
- - One moment.
- - Thank you.
- 1096
- 01:14:01,691 --> 01:14:04,191
- - Miss Atwater!
- - [chuckles]
- 1097
- 01:14:04,193 --> 01:14:09,031
- Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
- How have you been?
- 1098
- 01:14:09,033 --> 01:14:12,000
- Oh, baby, I've been good.
- How about yourself?
- 1099
- 01:14:12,002 --> 01:14:14,168
- I'm fine. I'm just fine.
- 1100
- 01:14:14,170 --> 01:14:15,940
- Well,
- what can I help you with?
- 1101
- 01:14:18,042 --> 01:14:20,043
- Where's that Larry Ellis boy?
- 1102
- 01:14:21,243 --> 01:14:24,414
- [Alvin murmuring]
- 1103
- 01:14:31,087 --> 01:14:32,121
- Bernadette.
- 1104
- 01:14:32,789 --> 01:14:35,658
- - Yes, Miss Atwater?
- - I'm gonna need a favor.
- 1105
- 01:14:37,093 --> 01:14:39,560
- - But that's not fair.
- - I know it's not fair, honey.
- 1106
- 01:14:39,562 --> 01:14:41,663
- But I went back and looked.
- Not even half of them are done yet.
- 1107
- 01:14:41,665 --> 01:14:43,297
- But she never does
- any of her charts.
- 1108
- 01:14:43,299 --> 01:14:45,366
- She always expects us
- to do them for her.
- 1109
- 01:14:45,368 --> 01:14:48,072
- You and I have to go over all her
- work, or it's gonna be on us.
- 1110
- 01:14:53,344 --> 01:14:55,646
- [Alvin humming]
- 1111
- 01:14:57,381 --> 01:14:58,415
- Hello?
- 1112
- 01:15:00,250 --> 01:15:01,285
- Hello?
- 1113
- 01:15:01,685 --> 01:15:03,685
- Where's Larry? Where's my son?
- 1114
- 01:15:03,687 --> 01:15:05,087
- He's not in his room.
- What happened?
- 1115
- 01:15:05,122 --> 01:15:06,992
- Nothing happened, Miss Ellis.
- 1116
- 01:15:07,423 --> 01:15:08,758
- He was moved.
- 1117
- 01:15:11,095 --> 01:15:13,496
- [radio: woman singing ballad]
- 1118
- 01:15:16,165 --> 01:15:17,333
- It's so nice.
- 1119
- 01:15:20,971 --> 01:15:22,006
- Hey, baby.
- 1120
- 01:15:22,673 --> 01:15:23,974
- It's your mama.
- 1121
- 01:15:25,809 --> 01:15:27,344
- Hey, baby, it's your mama.
- 1122
- 01:15:27,611 --> 01:15:29,146
- - Hi.
- - Hi.
- 1123
- 01:15:30,481 --> 01:15:32,016
- Let's put on some music.
- 1124
- 01:15:33,018 --> 01:15:35,954
- [volume increases]
- 1125
- 01:15:42,593 --> 01:15:45,227
- [song fades]
- 1126
- 01:15:45,229 --> 01:15:46,263
- What?
- 1127
- 01:15:48,165 --> 01:15:50,635
- No, no, it's good. It's...
- 1128
- 01:15:52,604 --> 01:15:53,938
- It's just, uh...
- 1129
- 01:15:57,474 --> 01:15:59,043
- All right,
- I'll see you at home.
- 1130
- 01:16:11,856 --> 01:16:14,525
- - I want to talk to you.
- - Finally.
- 1131
- 01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:16,560
- Look. What you, uh...
- 1132
- 01:16:18,195 --> 01:16:20,565
- [sighs] I didn't... I...
- 1133
- 01:16:23,768 --> 01:16:25,668
- I didn't ask for your help.
- 1134
- 01:16:25,670 --> 01:16:27,870
- I can take care of
- my own family, okay?
- 1135
- 01:16:27,872 --> 01:16:29,472
- - Okay.
- - Okay.
- 1136
- 01:16:29,474 --> 01:16:31,374
- Okay.
- It's just what I do, C.P.
- 1137
- 01:16:31,376 --> 01:16:34,477
- Well, whatever is you do,
- don't do it for me.
- 1138
- 01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:35,847
- I didn't do it for you.
- 1139
- 01:16:42,387 --> 01:16:43,620
- [sighs]
- 1140
- 01:16:48,126 --> 01:16:50,526
- - Strike one!
- - Yeah, Chester, bring the heat!
- 1141
- 01:16:50,528 --> 01:16:52,664
- All right, shut your hole.
- That ain't helping.
- 1142
- 01:16:55,299 --> 01:16:59,337
- Don't pay him no mind, boy.
- He ain't goin' nowhere with two outs.
- 1143
- 01:17:00,405 --> 01:17:02,006
- They'll hold 'em.
- Be all right.
- 1144
- 01:17:12,484 --> 01:17:13,786
- [bottle opens]
- 1145
- 01:17:15,721 --> 01:17:16,756
- I'll be right back.

- - [bat hits ball]
- - [cheering]
- 1147
- 01:17:25,097 --> 01:17:26,766
- - Your boy playing today?
- - Oh.
- 1148
- 01:17:27,566 --> 01:17:28,634
- Mr. Ellis.
- 1149
- 01:17:29,368 --> 01:17:31,569
- Uh, no. My nephew.
- 1150
- 01:17:31,970 --> 01:17:33,803
- You can call me C.P.
- You want a beer?
- 1151
- 01:17:33,805 --> 01:17:35,037
- Oh. Thanks.
- 1152
- 01:17:35,039 --> 01:17:36,307
- [umpire] Strike!
- 1153
- 01:17:38,943 --> 01:17:41,180
- So, how do you think
- it's going? The charrette.
- 1154
- 01:17:42,614 --> 01:17:43,949
- Um...
- 1155
- 01:17:44,649 --> 01:17:45,650
- It's interesting.
- 1156
- 01:17:46,919 --> 01:17:48,788
- It's nice to hear
- both sides, you know.
- 1157
- 01:17:49,088 --> 01:17:50,588
- Yeah. Yeah.
- 1158
- 01:17:52,390 --> 01:17:54,260
- We got some decisions to make.
- 1159
- 01:17:55,094 --> 01:17:56,693
- [umpire]
- Strike three! You're out!
- 1160
- 01:17:56,695 --> 01:17:58,597
- [scattered cheering]
- 1161
- 01:17:59,297 --> 01:18:01,567
- Say, that nigger fella?
- The one that comes, uh...
- 1162
- 01:18:04,103 --> 01:18:05,671
- He runs your hardware store?
- 1163
- 01:18:06,038 --> 01:18:08,241
- Yeah. 'Bout two years now.
- 1164
- 01:18:08,607 --> 01:18:09,708
- His name's Emmett.
- 1165
- 01:18:10,643 --> 01:18:13,445
- And you trust him to...
- to run things?
- 1166
- 01:18:17,050 --> 01:18:19,149
- Sorry, I-I'm just curious.
- 1167
- 01:18:19,151 --> 01:18:23,022
- I don't think I could trust one
- of them to run my filling station.
- 1168
- 01:18:23,823 --> 01:18:26,324
- Other than my wife,
- he's the only person I trust.
- 1169
- 01:18:26,992 --> 01:18:28,125
- How's that?
- 1170
- 01:18:28,127 --> 01:18:30,162
- Well, he and I, we...
- 1171
- 01:18:32,431 --> 01:18:34,033
- We were in Vietnam together.
- 1172
- 01:18:35,835 --> 01:18:38,138
- - Oh. You were in Vietnam?
- - Yeah.
- 1173
- 01:18:38,504 --> 01:18:40,973
- Two tours. Got out in '68.
- 1174
- 01:18:41,473 --> 01:18:42,541
- You?
- 1175
- 01:18:43,143 --> 01:18:44,743
- No. No, I...
- 1176
- 01:18:47,147 --> 01:18:48,248
- No.
- 1177
- 01:18:50,283 --> 01:18:51,350
- Yeah.
- 1178
- 01:18:52,319 --> 01:18:54,484
- Well, look, Mr. Ellis,
- I know who you are.
- 1179
- 01:18:54,486 --> 01:18:55,987
- And I know
- what you want from me.
- 1180
- 01:18:55,989 --> 01:18:57,922
- - But I just don't...
- - No, no, Lee.
- 1181
- 01:18:57,924 --> 01:18:59,924
- Any man who served bravely
- in this country's military
- 1182
- 01:18:59,926 --> 01:19:01,995
- doesn't need to hear
- anything more from me.
- 1183
- 01:19:02,696 --> 01:19:04,231
- You vote how you want to.
- 1184
- 01:19:04,998 --> 01:19:06,066
- I'll respect it.
- 1185
- 01:19:09,635 --> 01:19:10,669
- Mr. Ellis?
- 1186
- 01:19:12,638 --> 01:19:14,307
- Emmett served
- this country, too.
- 1187
- 01:19:15,942 --> 01:19:18,245
- And he was a lot braver
- than me.
- 1188
- 01:19:21,715 --> 01:19:22,749
- [bat hits ball]
- 1189
- 01:19:23,350 --> 01:19:25,352
- [scattered cheering]
- 1190
- 01:19:33,526 --> 01:19:36,094
- All right, folks.
- For our last day,
- 1191
- 01:19:36,096 --> 01:19:37,762
- I thought we'd go
- on a little field trip.
- 1192
- 01:19:37,764 --> 01:19:40,332
- - Where to?
- - You gotta vote Monday night.
- 1193
- 01:19:40,334 --> 01:19:42,700
- I think it's important
- we get a firsthand look
- 1194
- 01:19:42,702 --> 01:19:44,742
- at what we've been talkin'
- about the past few weeks.
- 1195
- 01:20:08,362 --> 01:20:10,897
- [Bill] I know it's been a long
- day, but this is the last one.
- 1196
- 01:20:12,199 --> 01:20:14,268
- Please be careful.
- Watch your step.
- 1197
- 01:20:14,668 --> 01:20:18,172
- [Ann] Ain't no better over here.
- It's a mess.
- 1198
- 01:20:18,571 --> 01:20:21,073
- They gotta keep the doors open
- because of the smell.
- 1199
- 01:20:21,075 --> 01:20:23,075
- - I imagine so.
- - It helps.
- 1200
- 01:20:23,077 --> 01:20:25,112
- [children chattering]
- 1201
- 01:20:27,581 --> 01:20:29,415
- Lot of kids
- for summer school.
- 1202
- 01:20:29,417 --> 01:20:31,786
- Uh...
- That ain't summer school, C.P.
- 1203
- 01:20:32,553 --> 01:20:34,787
- They still tryin' to finish up
- from last year.
- 1204
- 01:20:34,789 --> 01:20:37,623
- Yes, because of the split
- shifts after the fire,
- 1205
- 01:20:37,625 --> 01:20:39,292
- the students
- were really only getting
- 1206
- 01:20:39,294 --> 01:20:41,727
- about three hours
- of schooling per day.
- 1207
- 01:20:41,729 --> 01:20:43,763
- So, they're still catching up.
- 1208
- 01:20:45,565 --> 01:20:47,967
- Hey, how you doin'?
- Did you get them shoes I sent you?
- 1209
- 01:20:47,969 --> 01:20:49,435
- Mama! [chuckles]
- 1210
- 01:20:49,437 --> 01:20:51,671
- - Hey.
- - Oh, this your girl?
- 1211
- 01:20:52,807 --> 01:20:54,041
- - Hey.
- - Hi.
- 1212
- 01:20:54,909 --> 01:20:57,912
- Marilynn,
- this here is, uh, Mr. Ellis.
- 1213
- 01:20:59,580 --> 01:21:00,748
- Oh.
- 1214
- 01:21:02,083 --> 01:21:03,851
- Well, I better get to class.
- 1215
- 01:21:04,552 --> 01:21:05,686
- Okay.
- 1216
- 01:21:11,293 --> 01:21:13,926
- [exhales]
- 1217
- 01:21:13,928 --> 01:21:16,365
- She looked at me like I was
- some kind of monster.
- 1218
- 01:21:17,665 --> 01:21:18,933
- What'd you expect?
- 1219
- 01:21:21,403 --> 01:21:23,336
- I don't know.
- I'm trying to do right by us.
- 1220
- 01:21:23,338 --> 01:21:24,838
- Make it all better.
- 1221
- 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:26,875
- And how's this gonna
- make it all better?
- 1222
- 01:21:27,476 --> 01:21:29,309
- Hell, I'm... [scoffs]
- 1223
- 01:21:29,311 --> 01:21:31,477
- They wanted to integrate restaurants.
- So we did.
- 1224
- 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,046
- Then came buses and bathrooms
- and playgrounds.
- 1225
- 01:21:34,048 --> 01:21:35,814
- Look, I'm over there right now
- 1226
- 01:21:35,816 --> 01:21:37,716
- supporting more funding
- to make their schools better.
- 1227
- 01:21:37,718 --> 01:21:39,818
- If they have nicer schools, they'll...
- [kicks cabinet]
- 1228
- 01:21:39,820 --> 01:21:41,653
- ...stop pushin'
- to integrate ours.
- 1229
- 01:21:41,655 --> 01:21:43,557
- The one thing we have left.
- 1230
- 01:21:43,858 --> 01:21:45,860
- Then maybe
- we'll all stop fighting.
- 1231
- 01:21:46,194 --> 01:21:47,528
- Then what you gonna do?
- 1232
- 01:21:49,530 --> 01:21:50,564
- What?
- 1233
- 01:21:51,799 --> 01:21:53,835
- When everybody stops fighting,
- who you gonna fight?
- 1234
- 01:23:00,002 --> 01:23:01,370
- [doorbell rings]
- 1235
- 01:23:06,275 --> 01:23:07,776
- [Ann] Okay. Coming.
- 1236
- 01:23:13,949 --> 01:23:15,349
- Can I help you?
- 1237
- 01:23:15,351 --> 01:23:17,220
- Hi, Ann. Um...
- 1238
- 01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:19,955
- I'm Mary Ellis.
- Claiborne's wife.
- 1239
- 01:23:22,458 --> 01:23:23,625
- Oh.
- 1240
- 01:23:24,127 --> 01:23:26,795
- I'm sorry
- for just dropping by. I, um...
- 1241
- 01:23:27,964 --> 01:23:31,666
- I wanted to thank you for, um,
- what you did
- 1242
- 01:23:32,168 --> 01:23:33,870
- for our family,
- for our son Larry.
- 1243
- 01:23:36,139 --> 01:23:37,273
- Please, come in.
- 1244
- 01:23:41,077 --> 01:23:42,345
- - Thanks.
- - Go on in.
- 1245
- 01:23:46,517 --> 01:23:49,319
- - Hope you like sweet tea.
- - I do.
- 1246
- 01:23:52,122 --> 01:23:54,957
- So Larry is doing better, huh?
- 1247
- 01:23:55,625 --> 01:23:56,791
- He is.
- 1248
- 01:23:57,426 --> 01:23:59,328
- You know,
- sometimes it's hard to...
- 1249
- 01:24:00,863 --> 01:24:03,199
- - keep him calm.
- - Mm.
- 1250
- 01:24:05,801 --> 01:24:09,338
- Well, has, uh...
- has Larry always been like that?
- 1251
- 01:24:09,839 --> 01:24:11,007
- Yeah.
- 1252
- 01:24:12,175 --> 01:24:14,511
- You know, when he was little,
- it just...
- 1253
- 01:24:15,278 --> 01:24:17,281
- He started not to be able
- to do things.
- 1254
- 01:24:20,350 --> 01:24:21,618
- [chuckles]
- 1255
- 01:24:22,452 --> 01:24:24,752
- Has C.P. always been

- Yes.
- 1258
- 01:24:29,426 --> 01:24:30,460
- More or less.
- 1259
- 01:24:32,796 --> 01:24:36,364
- You know, he used to be
- a really good baseball player.
- 1260
- 01:24:36,366 --> 01:24:37,799
- - Really?
- - Showed a lot of promise.
- 1261
- 01:24:37,801 --> 01:24:39,067
- Colleges came
- and looked at him
- 1262
- 01:24:39,069 --> 01:24:41,405
- right over here
- at Liberty Park.
- 1263
- 01:24:42,539 --> 01:24:44,038
- Where we met, actually.
- 1264
- 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:45,942
- Came up to me,
- he's so nervous.
- 1265
- 01:24:46,742 --> 01:24:49,111
- Couldn't even talk.
- So handsome.
- 1266
- 01:24:49,745 --> 01:24:52,046
- - Oh.
- - [laughing]
- 1267
- 01:24:52,048 --> 01:24:53,082
- What?
- 1268
- 01:24:53,716 --> 01:24:55,619
- - C.P. handsome?
- - Oh.
- 1269
- 01:24:56,653 --> 01:24:57,753

- Okay.
- 1271
- 01:25:03,660 --> 01:25:05,697
- - Mm-hmm.
- - Oh.

- 01:25:07,699 --> 01:25:08,732
- Thank you again.
- 1273
- 01:25:08,966 --> 01:25:10,000
- You're welcome.
- 1274
- 01:25:15,872 --> 01:25:18,541
- - Ann...
- - Yes?
- 1275
- 01:25:18,543 --> 01:25:20,278
- Claiborne is, uh...

- 01:25:28,219 --> 01:25:29,552
- Bye.
- 1278
- 01:25:29,554 --> 01:25:30,721
- Good-bye, Miss Ellis.

- [gunfire]
- 1280
- 01:25:52,243 --> 01:25:53,908
- Gimme a minute with C.P.,
- would you?
- 1281
- 01:25:53,910 --> 01:25:55,146
- Sure thing, Floyd.
- 1282
- 01:26:06,791 --> 01:26:08,893
- [gunfire continues]
- 1283
- 01:26:13,732 --> 01:26:15,634
- Hey. What do you say, Floyd?
- 1284
- 01:26:18,236 --> 01:26:19,303
- You got one of those?
- 1285
- 01:26:27,545 --> 01:26:28,945
- See the paper?
- 1286
- 01:26:29,946 --> 01:26:32,984
- Nothin' I could do about that.
- All part of this charrette business.
- 1287
- 01:26:37,989 --> 01:26:39,690
- It don't look right.
- 1288
- 01:26:39,692 --> 01:26:41,357
- It don't matter
- what it looks like, Floyd.
- 1289
- 01:26:41,359 --> 01:26:42,659
- Matters what it is.
- 1290
- 01:26:42,661 --> 01:26:44,028
- Oh, yeah.
- 1291
- 01:26:44,630 --> 01:26:47,832
- Your wife making friends
- with Ann Atwater what it is?
- 1292
- 01:26:49,267 --> 01:26:50,301
- What?
- 1293
- 01:26:51,869 --> 01:26:53,739
- Couple of the boys
- saw 'em today.
- 1294
- 01:26:55,873 --> 01:26:57,476
- How am I supposed to
- explain that?
- 1295
- 01:27:04,516 --> 01:27:06,350
- She did something for Larry
- is all.
- 1296
- 01:27:06,352 --> 01:27:08,219
- Mary was just
- probably thanking her.
- 1297
- 01:27:08,853 --> 01:27:10,953
- Niggers is doing you
- favors now, C.P.?
- 1298
- 01:27:10,955 --> 01:27:12,623
- Stop with the bullshit, Floyd.
- 1299
- 01:27:13,024 --> 01:27:14,660
- Mary's always gone
- her own way.
- 1300
- 01:27:15,326 --> 01:27:18,194
- Has nothin' to do with how
- I do my business. Never has.
- 1301
- 01:27:18,196 --> 01:27:19,832
- Now you got something to say?
- Say it.
- 1302
- 01:27:22,501 --> 01:27:24,068
- Look around you, C.P.
- 1303
- 01:27:24,470 --> 01:27:26,971
- All these guys,
- they look up to you.
- 1304
- 01:27:27,539 --> 01:27:28,741
- They need you.
- 1305
- 01:27:30,007 --> 01:27:32,378
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- I'm here, ain't I?
- 1306
- 01:27:33,112 --> 01:27:36,148
- - Are you?
- - I'm doin' everything I can.
- 1307
- 01:27:44,323 --> 01:27:48,060
- [man vocalizing]
- 1308

- [man singing]
- 1310
- 01:28:36,576 --> 01:28:39,078
- Hey. Is Mr. Trombley in?
- 1311
- 01:28:39,546 --> 01:28:41,414
- - Yes, sir. He's...
- - Can I help you?
- 1312
- 01:28:42,115 --> 01:28:43,282
- Mr. Trombley.
- 1313
- 01:28:44,283 --> 01:28:47,252
- We're from Durham Fire and
- Life Safety Department. Uh...
- 1314
- 01:28:47,887 --> 01:28:49,789
- We've got a random
- inspection order here.
- 1315
- 01:28:50,255 --> 01:28:51,491
- On a Sunday?
- 1316
- 01:28:53,091 --> 01:28:54,594
- We do 'em when they come in.
- 1317
- 01:28:55,227 --> 01:28:57,428
- We'll need access
- to your breaker panels
- 1318
- 01:28:57,430 --> 01:28:59,766
- and your hazardous materials
- storage area.
- 1319
- 01:29:00,233 --> 01:29:03,603
- Yeah, all right. Sure.
- Uh, come on back. Right this way.
- 1320
- 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,073
- So, Mr. Trombley, it, uh,
- 1321
- 01:29:09,075 --> 01:29:10,741
- seems your
- circuit breaker panels
- 1322
- 01:29:10,743 --> 01:29:12,643
- are not up to code.
- 1323
- 01:29:12,645 --> 01:29:15,413
- You need at least 30-inch
- clearance on both sides,
- 1324
- 01:29:15,415 --> 01:29:17,183
- and you've got
- a little under two feet.
- 1325
- 01:29:19,085 --> 01:29:24,121
- Oh... [stammers] They've been like
- that for 20 years, since I was a kid.
- 1326
- 01:29:24,123 --> 01:29:28,127
- Nevertheless, that needs to be
- rectified before you can, uh, reopen.
- 1327
- 01:29:28,762 --> 01:29:33,199
- - Reopen?
- - Yeah. Gotta shut you down... indefinitely.
- 1328
- 01:29:33,967 --> 01:29:38,069
- What? Oh, no. I...
- See, I can't shut down.
- 1329
- 01:29:38,071 --> 01:29:40,106
- I got...
- I got a business here... Th...
- 1330
- 01:29:43,142 --> 01:29:45,178
- [chuckles]
- What are they supposed to do?
- 1331
- 01:29:48,949 --> 01:29:52,586
- I'm gonna need them boys
- outta here... now.
- 1332
- 01:29:55,990 --> 01:29:57,257
- Like I said...
- 1333
- 01:29:59,058 --> 01:30:01,227
- if you fix things...
- 1334
- 01:30:02,663 --> 01:30:04,698
- you'll be open again
- in no time.
- 1335
- 01:30:06,500 --> 01:30:09,770
- You have a nice day,
- Mr. Trombley.
- 1336
- 01:31:03,358 --> 01:31:05,159
- My, my, my.
- 1337
- 01:31:06,193 --> 01:31:08,062
- Aren't you
- a pretty little thing?
- 1338
- 01:31:08,796 --> 01:31:09,964
- Who are you?
- 1339
- 01:31:10,798 --> 01:31:11,899
- What do you want?
- 1340
- 01:31:12,533 --> 01:31:15,169
- Take it easy, Maddy.
- We're just, uh,
- 1341
- 01:31:16,037 --> 01:31:17,771
- [chuckles] friends.
- 1342
- 01:31:19,607 --> 01:31:20,775
- Please don't.
- 1343
- 01:31:21,442 --> 01:31:24,211
- Shh. It's okay.
- 1344
- 01:31:28,683 --> 01:31:30,919
- None of these pictures
- have niggers in 'em.
- 1345
- 01:31:33,888 --> 01:31:36,658
- We heard you might be
- a friend of niggers.
- 1346
- 01:31:36,958 --> 01:31:39,394
- But I don't see none
- on this wall.
- 1347
- 01:31:42,064 --> 01:31:45,567
- Just to be sure though,
- we're gonna need to hear you say it.
- 1348
- 01:31:47,103 --> 01:31:48,136
- Say it?
- 1349
- 01:31:50,472 --> 01:31:51,506
- Yes.
- 1350
- 01:31:52,507 --> 01:31:53,541
- Say it.
- 1351
- 01:31:54,308 --> 01:31:56,978
- That you ain't
- a friend of niggers.
- 1352
- 01:31:58,813 --> 01:32:03,451
- I'm... not
- a friend of niggers.
- 1353
- 01:32:07,856 --> 01:32:08,857
- Again.
- 1354
- 01:32:09,791 --> 01:32:12,961
- I'm not a friend
- of niggers.
- 1355
- 01:32:16,264 --> 01:32:17,365
- [scoffs]
- 1356
- 01:32:20,803 --> 01:32:21,837
- Well, then.
- 1357
- 01:32:22,237 --> 01:32:24,339
- We must've got
- some bad information.
- 1358
- 01:32:25,473 --> 01:32:28,209
- Guess there was no need
- for the visit after all.
- 1359
- 01:32:33,649 --> 01:32:35,051
- Thanks for the beer, Maddy.
- 1360
- 01:32:42,323 --> 01:32:45,727

- - You shut him down.
- - What are you talking about?
- 1382
- 01:34:04,741 --> 01:34:06,810
- - Lee Trombley.
- - Is that what this is about?
- 1383
- 01:34:07,309 --> 01:34:10,645
- You didn't have to do that, Carvie.
- You didn't have to do that.
- 1384
- 01:34:10,647 --> 01:34:13,481
- This not a good time to show up, C.P.
- I got donors in there.
- 1385
- 01:34:13,483 --> 01:34:15,283
- You haven't answered
- my question.
- 1386
- 01:34:15,285 --> 01:34:17,454
- We're just trying
- to give you a leg up is all.
- 1387

- - Well...
- - "Protect the white working man."
- 1391
- 01:34:28,031 --> 01:34:29,864
- Isn't that what you always said,
- what we always talked about?
- 1392
- 01:34:29,866 --> 01:34:35,038
- C.P., sometimes there are
- necessary evils.
- 1393
- 01:34:35,605 --> 01:34:38,241
- Necessary evils
- for the greater good.
- 1394
- 01:34:38,708 --> 01:34:40,642
- And it's my job to make
- those kind of decisions.
- 1395
- 01:34:40,644 --> 01:34:42,412
- You're just gonna
- have to trust me on this.

- Klavern?
- 1400
- 01:35:24,055 --> 01:35:26,389
- Something about a meeting
- at 8:30 or something.
- 1401
- 01:35:27,959 --> 01:35:29,126
- What? You didn't know?
- 1402
- 01:35:31,028 --> 01:35:32,964
- Oh. You all right?
- 1403
- 01:35:33,965 --> 01:35:35,066

- What's goin' on?
- 1412
- 01:37:44,129 --> 01:37:46,031

- that need to be addressed.
- 1415
- 01:37:53,138 --> 01:37:57,210
- As your state leader,
- it is my job to address them.
- 1416
- 01:37:57,976 --> 01:38:00,144
- In our fight
- against communism,
- 1417
- 01:38:00,146 --> 01:38:02,647
- against integration,
- against mongrelism...
- 1418
- 01:38:03,950 --> 01:38:06,150
- we turn to those among us
- 1419
- 01:38:06,152 --> 01:38:10,890
- who can lead us into
- a pure, white future.
- 1420
- 01:38:12,025 --> 01:38:15,395
- We have one such man
- here in North Carolina.
- 1421
- 01:38:17,296 --> 01:38:20,364
- Your Exhalted Cyclops,
- C.P. Ellis.
- 1422
- 01:38:20,366 --> 01:38:24,002
- [applause, cheering]
- 1423
- 01:38:28,540 --> 01:38:34,180
- So, in recognition
- of this man's tireless effort,
- 1424
- 01:38:34,780 --> 01:38:36,447
- for his forethought and vision
- 1425
- 01:38:36,449 --> 01:38:39,252
- in establishing the UKA's
- first Youth Corps...
- 1426
- 01:38:40,853 --> 01:38:42,522
- I guess I'll just read this.
- 1427
- 01:38:43,523 --> 01:38:46,692
- It says,
- "The United Klans of America
- 1428
- 01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:50,362
- hereby bestow upon
- Mr. Claiborne Paul Ellis
- 1429
- 01:38:50,364 --> 01:38:52,897
- the honor of being named
- 1430
- 01:38:52,899 --> 01:38:57,904
- North Carolina's 'Exhalted'
- Cyclops of the Year, 1971."
- 1431
- 01:39:02,042 --> 01:39:04,044
- [indistinct]
- 1432
- 01:39:36,076 --> 01:39:39,444
- What do you mean, you're not the right
- person? Baby, the vote is tonight.
- 1433
- 01:39:39,446 --> 01:39:42,347
- - Yeah, but there's gotta be somebody else.
- - There's nobody else, Maddy.
- 1434
- 01:39:42,349 --> 01:39:44,049
- You heard everything,
- you've seen everything.
- 1435
- 01:39:44,051 --> 01:39:45,517
- No one else can take
- your seat.
- 1436
- 01:39:45,519 --> 01:39:46,987
- What brought this on, Maddy?
- 1437
- 01:39:48,590 --> 01:39:50,222
- What happened?
- 1438
- 01:39:50,224 --> 01:39:52,059
- - Nothing. I just...
- - [footsteps approach]
- 1439
- 01:39:55,261 --> 01:39:59,065
- It's nothing. Um... It's fine.
- If you'll just excuse me.
- 1440
- 01:39:59,399 --> 01:40:00,967
- [Ann] Mm-hmm.
- 1441
- 01:40:13,514 --> 01:40:15,682
- Maddy Mays don't want to vote.
- 1442
- 01:40:16,316 --> 01:40:18,520
- Just like that, out of the blue.
- [snaps fingers]
- 1443
- 01:40:20,754 --> 01:40:22,622
- - What'd you do to that girl?
- - Now, Ann.
- 1444
- 01:40:22,624 --> 01:40:24,664
- I saw the way she looked...
- Don't you "Now, Ann" me.
- 1445
- 01:40:25,627 --> 01:40:27,428
- You coward.
- 1446
- 01:40:28,028 --> 01:40:30,331
- - I ain't no coward.
- - Yeah, you a coward.
- 1447
- 01:40:30,598 --> 01:40:33,765
- Couldn't do it in here.
- Too many people with they own thoughts.
- 1448
- 01:40:33,767 --> 01:40:36,536
- You couldn't win in here,
- so you went and you fixed it out there.
- 1449
- 01:40:36,538 --> 01:40:38,858
- - I don't have to listen to this.
- - You gonna listen today.
- 1450
- 01:40:39,806 --> 01:40:41,875
- What you so afraid of, C.P.?
- 1451
- 01:40:42,476 --> 01:40:44,675
- - I ain't afraid of nothing.
- - Yeah, you is. You're afraid.
- 1452
- 01:40:44,677 --> 01:40:46,745
- You afraid
- you gonna lose control.
- 1453
- 01:40:46,747 --> 01:40:49,681
- You afraid you gonna lose
- what you ain't even got, C.P.!
- 1454
- 01:40:49,683 --> 01:40:51,850
- You're poor.
- Just like the rest of us.
- 1455
- 01:40:51,852 --> 01:40:53,685
- You ain't got nothing
- 'cept problems.
- 1456
- 01:40:53,687 --> 01:40:55,588
- Talkin' 'bout you...
- you in control.
- 1457
- 01:40:55,590 --> 01:40:57,824
- You ain't no more in control
- than the man in the moon.
- 1458
- 01:40:58,792 --> 01:41:01,229
- You're a bigger coward
- than I thought you was.
- 1459
- 01:41:01,663 --> 01:41:03,631
- [footsteps depart]
- 1460
- 01:41:26,355 --> 01:41:28,357
- [male reporter]
- The five o'clock news hour.
- 1461
- 01:41:28,691 --> 01:41:33,192
- With the highly anticipated charrette
- vote just a few hours away now,
- 1462
- 01:41:33,194 --> 01:41:36,162
- we caught up
- with WDNC's Ken Meadows,
- 1463
- 01:41:36,164 --> 01:41:38,331
- who was with some students
- 1464
- 01:41:38,333 --> 01:41:40,969
- gathered outside the
- charrette site earlier today.
- 1465
- 01:41:41,369 --> 01:41:42,868
- [Meadows] Do you think
- it's gonna be okay?
- 1466
- 01:41:42,870 --> 01:41:44,339
- [child]
- Well, it might be all right.
- 1467
- 01:41:45,807 --> 01:41:47,640
- [child 2]
- I think the same thing too.
- 1468
- 01:41:47,642 --> 01:41:49,575
- - [child 3] Uh-uh. I don't.
- - [Meadows] Why not?
- 1469
- 01:41:49,577 --> 01:41:53,580
- I don't. Because, see,
- our first day that I went out there
- 1470
- 01:41:53,582 --> 01:41:55,416
- where we had to scramble,
- you know.
- 1471
- 01:41:55,817 --> 01:41:57,218
- But it was okay.
- 1472
- 01:41:58,253 --> 01:42:01,388
- [girl] It doesn't matter what school
- you go to, it's gonna be the same.
- 1473
- 01:42:01,390 --> 01:42:03,259
- You get your education
- just the same.
- 1474
- 01:42:04,058 --> 01:42:07,529
- I'm fixin' to enroll now,
- and it'll be my school.
- 1475
- 01:42:08,930 --> 01:42:11,498
- [Meadows] Are you concerned for
- your daughter, or is she concerned?
- 1476
- 01:42:11,500 --> 01:42:13,100
- [woman]
- Well, I'm concerned for her,
- 1477
- 01:42:13,102 --> 01:42:15,604
- and I think she's concerned
- for her education.
- 1478
- 01:42:16,538 --> 01:42:18,537
- [Meadows] Laverne,
- I just talked to your mother.
- 1479
- 01:42:18,539 --> 01:42:20,539
- She said you're a little concerned.
- Are you?
- 1480
- 01:42:20,541 --> 01:42:22,777
- - [Laverne] I'm very much concerned.
- - Why?
- 1481
- 01:42:23,411 --> 01:42:27,113
- Oh, because I wanna...
- I wanna be very sure about this year,
- 1482
- 01:42:27,115 --> 01:42:30,319
- and I want to really know
- what they're doing, and...
- 1483
- 01:42:31,052 --> 01:42:35,656
- I think that it will work out if
- everybody cooperates together.
- 1484
- 01:42:35,658 --> 01:42:39,559
- Because, I mean, this is not
- the, probably, first time...
- 1485
- 01:42:39,561 --> 01:42:42,364
- [continues, indistinct]
- 1486
- 01:43:08,791 --> 01:43:10,693
- [breath quavers]
- 1487
- 01:43:18,500 --> 01:43:20,804
- [loud chattering]
- 1488
- 01:44:13,857 --> 01:44:16,659
- - You did great work, Ann.
- - No.
- 1489
- 01:44:17,127 --> 01:44:20,561
- The one thing those people came here
- for, we didn't get it for 'em.
- 1490
- 01:44:20,563 --> 01:44:22,932
- Not true.
- Some of them will be delighted.
- 1491
- 01:44:23,566 --> 01:44:24,934
- [chuckles]
- 1492
- 01:44:26,102 --> 01:44:28,905
- You know, I never really
- thought you was an Uncle Tom.
- 1493
- 01:44:29,939 --> 01:44:31,141
- Yes, you did.
- 1494
- 01:44:32,777 --> 01:44:34,812
- [both chuckling]
- 1495
- 01:44:35,346 --> 01:44:36,814
- "Roughhouse Annie," huh?
- 1496
- 01:44:37,247 --> 01:44:38,783
- Don't you forget it.
- 1497
- 01:44:47,757 --> 01:44:49,359
- Welcome, welcome.
- 1498
- 01:44:51,261 --> 01:44:53,530
- [applause]
- 1499
- 01:44:56,867 --> 01:45:00,103
- Well, what a journey
- it's been, folks.
- 1500
- 01:45:00,738 --> 01:45:03,774
- You've all shown such
- dedication these past two weeks.
- 1501
- 01:45:04,073 --> 01:45:07,578
- And regardless of the outcome,
- you should be proud.
- 1502
- 01:45:14,785 --> 01:45:17,920
- The resolution you've put
- before this senate is clear,
- 1503
- 01:45:17,922 --> 01:45:21,659
- it is thoughtful,
- and above all, it is brave.
- 1504
- 01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:24,428
- This resolution is
- in three parts.
- 1505
- 01:45:24,995 --> 01:45:26,896
- After I read out each one,
- 1506
- 01:45:26,898 --> 01:45:29,299
- I will call the senate members
- up to cast their votes.
- 1507
- 01:45:30,066 --> 01:45:33,769
- Each part requires
- a two-thirds majority to pass.
- 1508
- 01:45:33,771 --> 01:45:35,473
- That's eight votes.
- 1509
- 01:45:37,006 --> 01:45:38,141
- Part one.
- 1510
- 01:45:39,142 --> 01:45:41,610
- Two students,
- one black, one white,
- 1511
- 01:45:41,612 --> 01:45:45,483
- to be appointed every year
- to the Durham school board.
- 1512
- 01:45:45,783 --> 01:45:47,785
- I vote yes.
- 1513
- 01:45:51,288 --> 01:45:52,456
- Mr. Watford.
- 1514
- 01:45:54,225 --> 01:45:55,426
- I'm a no.
- 1515
- 01:45:57,595 --> 01:45:59,294
- - I vote yes.
- - [applause]
- 1516
- 01:45:59,296 --> 01:46:01,766
- [Bill] Part one passes
- with eight votes.
- 1517
- 01:46:04,803 --> 01:46:10,440
- Part two. This calls that summer classes
- be included in the school board budget
- 1518
- 01:46:10,442 --> 01:46:13,510
- so the black students become
- level with their white peers.
- 1519
- 01:46:13,512 --> 01:46:14,646
- Mr. Weeks.
- 1520
- 01:46:16,348 --> 01:46:18,647
- - I vote no.
- - [scattered applause]
- 1521
- 01:46:18,649 --> 01:46:19,717
- Mr. Cox.
- 1522
- 01:46:20,751 --> 01:46:21,886
- [Cox] I vote yes.
- 1523
- 01:46:24,288 --> 01:46:25,356
- I vote yes.
- 1524
- 01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,393
- [Bill] Part two passes
- with eight votes.
- 1525
- 01:46:31,395 --> 01:46:34,331
- [applause]
- 1526
- 01:46:43,073 --> 01:46:44,242
- Part three.
- 1527
- 01:46:48,480 --> 01:46:50,081
- Public school integration.
- 1528
- 01:46:51,650 --> 01:46:52,784
- In summary,
- 1529
- 01:46:53,685 --> 01:46:56,553
- this calls for full
- and immediate integration
- 1530
- 01:46:56,555 --> 01:46:59,491
- starting in the fall semester
- of this school year.
- 1531
- 01:47:00,358 --> 01:47:04,360
- The resolution defines full
- integration by setting a race ratio
- 1532
- 01:47:04,362 --> 01:47:09,199
- of no less than 25 percent
- of any race at each school.
- 1533
- 01:47:10,001 --> 01:47:13,469
- And further, that busing be
- made available to students
- 1534
- 01:47:13,471 --> 01:47:16,775
- to aid in the implementation
- of this ratio.
- 1535
- 01:47:19,177 --> 01:47:21,913
- We'll start the vote
- on this side with Miss Wilson.
- 1536
- 01:47:23,682 --> 01:47:25,750
- [people whispering]
- 1537
- 01:47:31,590 --> 01:47:33,425
- I vote yes.
- 1538
- 01:47:38,965 --> 01:47:40,066
- Mr. Watford?
- 1539
- 01:47:46,606 --> 01:47:47,705
- I vote no.
- 1540
- 01:47:47,707 --> 01:47:50,076
- [applause]
- 1541
- 01:47:51,978 --> 01:47:53,645
- Mr. Mose.
- 1542
- 01:47:57,917 --> 01:47:59,549
- I vote yes.
- 1543
- 01:47:59,551 --> 01:48:01,419
- [applause]
- 1544
- 01:48:04,422 --> 01:48:05,590
- Mr. Weeks.
- 1545
- 01:48:10,096 --> 01:48:13,296
- I vote "hell no."
- 1546
- 01:48:13,298 --> 01:48:15,067
- [cheering, applause]
- 1547
- 01:48:19,538 --> 01:48:20,806
- Mr. Cox?
- 1548
- 01:48:25,711 --> 01:48:27,344
- I vote "hell yes."
- 1549
- 01:48:27,346 --> 01:48:29,548
- [cheering, applause]
- 1550
- 01:48:35,789 --> 01:48:36,957
- Mr. Trombley.
- 1551
- 01:48:48,199 --> 01:48:49,735
- Thank you, Mr. Riddick.
- 1552
- 01:48:57,010 --> 01:48:59,944
- I believe in school
- integration, and I vote yes.
- 1553
- 01:48:59,946 --> 01:49:02,481
- [applause]
- 1554
- 01:49:04,918 --> 01:49:06,352
- It's not gonna matter.
- 1555
- 01:49:13,292 --> 01:49:14,393
- [Bill] Reverend.
- 1556
- 01:49:17,330 --> 01:49:23,236
- With the good Lord as my
- guide, I proudly vote yes.
- 1557
- 01:49:27,274 --> 01:49:28,408
- Miss Mays.
- 1558
- 01:49:46,893 --> 01:49:51,598
- Although I think it should be
- considered in the future, I...
- 1559
- 01:49:54,868 --> 01:49:58,039
- I don't believe right now
- is the time for integration.
- 1560
- 01:49:59,506 --> 01:50:01,441
- Respectfully, I vote no.
- 1561
- 01:50:03,211 --> 01:50:05,378
- - [applause]
- - Hey.
- 1562
- 01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:21,728
- [applause quiets]
- 1563
- 01:50:35,143 --> 01:50:36,276
- Mr. Clement.
- 1564
- 01:50:41,448 --> 01:50:46,552
- I am honored to have had the
- chance to get to know most of you
- 1565
- 01:50:46,554 --> 01:50:48,523
- these past few weeks,
- 1566
- 01:50:48,923 --> 01:50:51,859
- to work on these vital issues.
- 1567
- 01:50:52,293 --> 01:50:56,531
- And while I fear
- that my vote will be in vain,
- 1568
- 01:50:57,266 --> 01:50:58,833
- I'm still gonna vote.
- 1569
- 01:50:59,667 --> 01:51:02,503
- And I vote yes
- on school integration.
- 1570
- 01:51:08,142 --> 01:51:09,177
- Mr. Keith.
- 1571
- 01:51:15,650 --> 01:51:16,684
- No.
- 1572
- 01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:27,296
- Miss Atwater.
- 1573
- 01:51:55,723 --> 01:51:56,757
- Yes.
- 1574
- 01:51:57,491 --> 01:51:59,727
- [applause]
- 1575
- 01:52:04,233 --> 01:52:06,068
- Looks like
- we finally shut her up.
- 1576
- 01:52:08,103 --> 01:52:09,370
- Mr. Ellis.
- 1577
- 01:52:10,205 --> 01:52:11,706
- - [applause]
- - All right.
- 1578
- 01:52:12,274 --> 01:52:13,507
- All right.
- 1579
- 01:52:16,812 --> 01:52:17,880
- All right.
- 1580
- 01:52:18,981 --> 01:52:20,015
- Thank you.
- 1581
- 01:52:20,649 --> 01:52:21,715
- Thank you.
- 1582
- 01:52:21,717 --> 01:52:23,185
- [whistling]
- 1583
- 01:52:24,319 --> 01:52:25,754
- I-I-I...
- 1584
- 01:52:31,327 --> 01:52:34,930
- - Uh...
- - [applause quiets]
- 1585
- 01:52:36,065 --> 01:52:38,366
- I guess I'd first echo
- what Mr. Clement said.
- 1586
- 01:52:38,368 --> 01:52:40,270
- It was good to get to know
- some of you, and I...
- 1587
- 01:52:41,402 --> 01:52:45,107
- I know many of you will be
- disappointed with our outcome here.
- 1588
- 01:52:46,275 --> 01:52:47,309
- I, uh...
- 1589
- 01:53:01,757 --> 01:53:03,659
- You know, before I go on...
- [clears throat]
- 1590
- 01:53:05,061 --> 01:53:06,929
- ...I'd like to show you all
- something.
- 1591
- 01:53:09,564 --> 01:53:11,999
- - This is my Klan membership card.
- - [man] All right.
- 1592
- 01:53:12,001 --> 01:53:13,901
- [scattered laughter]
- 1593
- 01:53:13,903 --> 01:53:17,106
- I was given this card
- 12 years ago.
- 1594
- 01:53:18,341 --> 01:53:20,442
- It's been in my wallet
- ever since.
- 1595
- 01:53:21,177 --> 01:53:23,244
- In fact, I cried
- when they gave me this card.
- 1596
- 01:53:23,246 --> 01:53:26,282
- And I grew up in a house where
- I was taught men don't cry.
- 1597
- 01:53:27,050 --> 01:53:28,551
- But I cried anyway.
- 1598
- 01:53:29,518 --> 01:53:33,156
- I cried because it was the first
- time in my life I didn't feel alone.
- 1599
- 01:53:36,259 --> 01:53:38,426
- Sure, I was married
- with a family.
- 1600
- 01:53:38,428 --> 01:53:41,062
- That's not the kind of alone
- I'm talking about.
- 1601
- 01:53:41,064 --> 01:53:43,465
- As a man, you're expected
- to take care of that family.
- 1602
- 01:53:44,801 --> 01:53:46,836
- And I was havin' a hard time
- doin' that.
- 1603
- 01:53:47,569 --> 01:53:51,207
- We were struggling.
- So...
- 1604
- 01:53:52,442 --> 01:53:54,775
- There I was.
- I was a part of something now.
- 1605
- 01:53:54,777 --> 01:53:58,214
- Something much,
- much bigger than me.
- 1606
- 01:54:00,083 --> 01:54:03,119
- And then when they made me
- president, boy, I was over the moon.
- 1607
- 01:54:04,455 --> 01:54:06,723
- Poor old C.P. Ellis
- president of something.
- 1608
- 01:54:08,359 --> 01:54:09,994
- Whoa. [chuckles]
- 1609
- 01:54:18,067 --> 01:54:20,136
- And it's a real brotherhood.
- It is.
- 1610
- 01:54:20,436 --> 01:54:22,705
- In the Klan,
- you look out for one another.
- 1611
- 01:54:23,139 --> 01:54:26,275
- Nobody is left behind.
- Everybody does for everybody else.
- 1612
- 01:54:26,976 --> 01:54:28,809
- In fact, it says it right
- here on this card...
- 1613
- 01:54:28,811 --> 01:54:32,515
- It says
- "Non silba, sed anthar."
- 1614
- 01:54:33,649 --> 01:54:36,519
- Which means "Not for
- oneself, but for others."
- 1615
- 01:54:37,321 --> 01:54:38,688
- That's our motto.
- 1616
- 01:54:42,192 --> 01:54:43,860
- But see, now I got a problem.
- 1617
- 01:54:45,162 --> 01:54:46,263
- There's a problem...
- 1618
- 01:54:48,065 --> 01:54:50,365
- 'cause there's a lot of that going
- around right here in this room.
- 1619
- 01:54:50,367 --> 01:54:51,702
- People doin' for others.
- 1620
- 01:54:53,504 --> 01:54:55,873
- Last two weeks have been
- full of people just do...
- 1621
- 01:54:56,740 --> 01:54:57,941
- doing for others.
- 1622
- 01:54:59,076 --> 01:55:01,511
- And they're not just white people.
- There's a...
- 1623
- 01:55:01,513 --> 01:55:03,847
- There's a lot of black folk
- doing for others too.
- 1624
- 01:55:05,215 --> 01:55:06,914
- But I'm the president
- of the Klan.
- 1625
- 01:55:06,916 --> 01:55:08,517
- I'm supposed to hate
- black folk.
- 1626
- 01:55:08,519 --> 01:55:11,721
- I teach people
- to hate black folk.
- 1627
- 01:55:13,656 --> 01:55:16,026
- They're supposed to be
- inferior to us.
- 1628
- 01:55:18,694 --> 01:55:20,431
- Now, if I don't believe that,
- 1629
- 01:55:20,998 --> 01:55:24,034
- then I have no business being
- president of the Klan.
- 1630
- 01:55:29,706 --> 01:55:31,008
- Well, I don't believe it.
- 1631
- 01:55:34,379 --> 01:55:35,779
- So my problem is...
- 1632
- 01:55:37,014 --> 01:55:38,916
- I don't have no need
- for this anymore.
- 1633
- 01:55:54,264 --> 01:55:56,031
- Mr. Riddick, I vote yes.
- 1634
- 01:55:56,033 --> 01:55:57,099
- Jesus!
- 1635
- 01:55:57,101 --> 01:55:58,467
- [cheering]
- 1636
- 01:55:58,469 --> 01:55:59,803
- [no audible dialogue]
- 1637
- 01:56:13,951 --> 01:56:15,553
- I just don't believe it.
- 1638
- 01:56:25,063 --> 01:56:26,231
- [Ann] C.P.?
- 1639
- 01:56:29,634 --> 01:56:30,735
- C.P.?
- 1640
- 01:56:57,596 --> 01:57:00,298
- [phone rings]
- 1641
- 01:57:03,536 --> 01:57:05,504
- [rings]
- 1642
- 01:57:10,543 --> 01:57:11,644
- Yeah?
- 1643
- 01:57:37,336 --> 01:57:38,470
- [Jeb] Where's the key?
- 1644
- 01:57:38,836 --> 01:57:40,639
- - Jeb!
- - Where's the key?
- 1645
- 01:57:44,376 --> 01:57:45,910
- Call the fire department!
- 1646
- 01:57:53,519 --> 01:57:55,621
- - Come on.
- - [both straining]
- 1647
- 01:58:44,069 --> 01:58:45,272
- [woman] Thank you.
- 1648
- 01:58:45,938 --> 01:58:49,542
- Next on the agenda is delivery
- of the charrette resolution.
- 1649
- 01:58:50,076 --> 01:58:53,079
- The council recognizes
- Miss Atwater.
- 1650
- 01:59:12,632 --> 01:59:15,167
- [phone rings]
- 1651
- 01:59:18,672 --> 01:59:20,707
- [rings]
- 1652
- 01:59:23,276 --> 01:59:25,045
- Yeah. Hello?
- 1653
- 01:59:25,745 --> 01:59:27,914
- [line disconnects, dial tone]
- 1654
- 02:00:20,334 --> 02:00:21,736
- Okay, Mr. Ellis.
- 1655
- 02:00:23,870 --> 02:00:25,005
- How many?
- 1656
- 02:00:25,373 --> 02:00:28,209
- Well, you lost
- about 650 gallons.
- 1657
- 02:00:28,943 --> 02:00:30,644
- You're lucky
- the thing didn't explode.
- 1658
- 02:00:31,178 --> 02:00:32,680
- Yeah, okay.
- 1659
- 02:00:33,180 --> 02:00:36,818
- You want to replace the loss?
- I can have a truck here tomorrow.
- 1660
- 02:00:39,353 --> 02:00:41,487
- No. Let's see how
- the rest of the month goes.
- 1661
- 02:00:41,489 --> 02:00:42,556
- All right.
- 1662
- 02:00:43,890 --> 02:00:46,394
- - What's this?
- - Would you sign both pages?
- 1663
- 02:01:08,750 --> 02:01:09,885
- Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
- 1664
- 02:01:10,619 --> 02:01:12,119
- Change your mind,
- give us a call.
- 1665
- 02:01:34,843 --> 02:01:36,577
- - Mr. Ellis.
- - Mm-hmm?
- 1666
- 02:01:38,112 --> 02:01:40,114
- If you need to let me go,
- it's okay.
- 1667
- 02:01:40,782 --> 02:01:42,884
- You know,
- until things pick up again.
- 1668
- 02:01:44,418 --> 02:01:47,288
- I appreciate that, Jeb.
- But we're not there yet, okay?
- 1669
- 02:01:47,722 --> 02:01:50,325
- So for now, go ahead,
- take your lunch break.
- 1670
- 02:01:51,460 --> 02:01:53,093
- Okay, Mr. Ellis.
- 1671
- 02:01:53,862 --> 02:01:54,930
- All right.
- 1672
- 02:01:57,899 --> 02:02:00,602
- - [vehicle approaches]
- - [bell dings]
- 1673
- 02:02:21,289 --> 02:02:25,123
- I hope you didn't come here to
- ask me to co-chair somethin' else.
- 1674
- 02:02:25,125 --> 02:02:27,927
- Nah. I just came
- to say good-bye is all.
- 1675
- 02:02:27,929 --> 02:02:30,699
- - Back to Raleigh, huh?
- - Back to Raleigh.
- 1676
- 02:02:38,841 --> 02:02:40,440
- What trouble you been causin'?
- 1677
- 02:02:40,442 --> 02:02:43,044
- - Just organizing, you know me.
- - [chuckles]
- 1678
- 02:02:43,746 --> 02:02:46,147
- - It's what you do, right?
- - It's just what I do.
- 1679
- 02:02:46,516 --> 02:02:48,248
- I sure wish
- you coulda been there
- 1680
- 02:02:48,250 --> 02:02:50,818
- when we handed in
- our resolution. Mmm.
- 1681
- 02:02:50,820 --> 02:02:53,054
- Old Carvie Oldham
- didn't even show up.
- 1682
- 02:02:53,589 --> 02:02:54,624
- [scoffs]
- 1683
- 02:02:56,158 --> 02:02:57,627
- Wish I'd seen that.
- 1684
- 02:02:58,127 --> 02:02:59,495
- How are you doin', C.P.?
- 1685
- 02:03:00,363 --> 02:03:02,198
- Oh, had a little trouble here.
- 1686
- 02:03:03,366 --> 02:03:05,331
- Just trying to
- put it back together.
- 1687
- 02:03:05,333 --> 02:03:06,701
- Yeah, we heard.
- 1688
- 02:03:07,736 --> 02:03:09,502
- I'm so sorry, C.P.
- 1689
- 02:03:09,504 --> 02:03:12,374
- It's okay.
- Although not sure it matters much.
- 1690
- 02:03:13,141 --> 02:03:16,342
- Nobody stoppin' to buy gas
- from me these days.
- 1691
- 02:03:16,344 --> 02:03:18,646
- [horns honking in distance]
- 1692
- 02:03:18,648 --> 02:03:22,050
- Well... Maybe things
- will pick up for you.
- 1693
- 02:03:23,819 --> 02:03:25,388
- What you smilin' at?
- 1694
- 02:03:25,688 --> 02:03:27,790
- - [chuckling]
- - [honking continues]
- 1695
- 02:03:34,196 --> 02:03:36,165
- [honking continues]
- 1696
- 02:03:57,420 --> 02:03:59,522
- That's just what I do, C.P.
- 1697
- 02:03:59,889 --> 02:04:02,158
- You know that.
- That's just what I do.
- 1698
- 02:04:19,076 --> 02:04:22,178
- - [bell dings]
- - Hey, Jeb. We got customers.
- 1699
- 02:04:26,416 --> 02:04:29,086
- Gas? [chuckles]
- 1700
- 02:04:29,453 --> 02:04:31,086
- - Gas?
- - [Jeb] All right, sir.
- 1701
- 02:04:31,088 --> 02:04:32,654
- [C.P.] You want gas?
- 1702
- 02:04:32,656 --> 02:04:34,458
- - [Jeb] Yeah, no problem.
- - [C.P.] All right.
- 1703
- 02:04:38,930 --> 02:04:41,263
- [soul song plays]
- 1704
- 02:04:48,038 --> 02:04:50,841
- [man singing]
- 1705
- 02:04:52,943 --> 02:04:56,911
- She can upset the world with
- her mouth if she wants to.
- 1706
- 02:04:56,913 --> 02:04:59,881
- But everywhere I go,
- every time I pick up a newspaper,
- 1707
- 02:04:59,883 --> 02:05:03,218
- Ann Atwater's been before the
- council, the county commission,
- 1708
- 02:05:03,220 --> 02:05:05,620
- or she was at some
- shopping center boycotting,
- 1709
- 02:05:05,622 --> 02:05:07,391
- or she was downtown
- at Woolworths.
- 1710
- 02:05:07,959 --> 02:05:09,925
- And he was woofin'
- and goin' on,
- 1711
- 02:05:09,927 --> 02:05:12,028
- and the place was packed
- with Klansmen.
- 1712
- 02:05:12,030 --> 02:05:15,532
- This particular night, C.P.
- was up raging and ranting.
- 1713
- 02:05:16,134 --> 02:05:18,201
- That's when
- I wanted to cut his head off.
- 1714
- 02:05:18,468 --> 02:05:20,435
- And after that first meeting,
- 1715
- 02:05:20,437 --> 02:05:22,940
- I actually went home saying,
- this is crazy.
- 1716
- 02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:27,143
- This is absolutely crazy.
- I don't think I wanna do this.
- 1717
- 02:05:27,145 --> 02:05:30,013
- I mean, I can make a living
- easier than this.
- 1718
- 02:05:30,681 --> 02:05:33,583
- [song continues]
- 1719
- 02:05:37,187 --> 02:05:40,124
- The story was picked up
- in The Washington Post.
- 1720
- 02:05:40,824 --> 02:05:43,393
- "Black man calls Klansman
- 'brother.'"
- 1721
- 02:05:43,995 --> 02:05:48,132
- And of course, my father, when he read
- the story in The Washington Post...
- 1722
- 02:05:49,199 --> 02:05:51,069
- he thought I had lost my mind.
- 1723
- 02:05:58,609 --> 02:06:04,482
- In becoming my friend,
- C.P. has lost a lot.
- 1724
- 02:06:04,816 --> 02:06:08,187
- Look, you do not make those changes
- without having to pay for 'em.
- 1725
- 02:06:08,586 --> 02:06:11,487
- I know damn well, you know.
- 1726
- 02:06:11,489 --> 02:06:13,224
- You have to pay for it
- eventually.
- 1727
- 02:06:13,859 --> 02:06:16,524
- We bonded,
