- [man] I think one of the most
- emotional moments of my life
- 3
- 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,195
- was the night that
- I was initiated into the Klan.
- 4
- 00:00:40,197 --> 00:00:42,765
- I was led into the Klavern
- hall, which was dark.
- 5
- 00:00:42,767 --> 00:00:45,033
- The only light that I could
- see was a fiery cross.
- 6
- 00:00:45,035 --> 00:00:47,038
- And that...
- put me through the ceremony.
- 7
- 00:00:47,539 --> 00:00:49,205
- Purified me with water.
- 8
- 00:00:49,207 --> 00:00:50,941
- Laid his hand
- on my shoulder, says,
- 9
- 00:00:50,943 --> 00:00:52,575
- "You're part of
- the Invisible Empire,
- 10
- 00:00:52,577 --> 00:00:54,679
- United Klans of America."
- 11
- 00:00:55,046 --> 00:00:58,180
- And there was a tremendous
- applause throughout the auditorium.
- 12
- 00:00:58,182 --> 00:01:00,884
- And I came up off the floor
- really in tears.
- 13
- 00:01:00,886 --> 00:01:03,352
- Because that's what I'd been
- looking for all my life.
- 14
- 00:01:03,354 --> 00:01:06,990
- An opportunity to be heard,
- an opportunity to be something.
- 15
- 00:01:06,992 --> 00:01:09,359
- - [woman] I first told him, "Hell no!"
- - [audience laughs]
- 16
- 00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:12,695
- I would never, ever.
- But kill him, that's all I want.
- 17
- 00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:14,432
- That was on my heart
- to kill him.
- 18
- 00:01:15,065 --> 00:01:17,633
- This is the kind of reputation
- that I have in Durham.
- 19
- 00:01:17,635 --> 00:01:20,069
- I'm not bragging about it,
- but it is the truth.
- 20
- 00:01:20,071 --> 00:01:23,207
- You can call Durham,
- and they will tell you.
- 21
- 00:01:23,675 --> 00:01:28,144
- Uh, no, I will not take no for an answer.
- I have to have the word "yes."
- 22
- 00:01:28,146 --> 00:01:31,748
- Because all of our blood,
- when it comes out, is the same color.
- 23
- 00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:35,052
- I haven't seen any blood different
- yet than the color of mine.
- 24
- 00:01:35,054 --> 00:01:38,388
- And I'm sayin' whatever you believe in...
- I keep sayin' it...
- 25
- 00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:41,427
- - stand on it, baby, stand on it.
- - [audience applauding]
- 26
- 00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:53,873
- [crowd clamoring]
- 27
- 00:01:58,243 --> 00:02:00,411
- [clamoring continues]
- 28
- 00:02:05,216 --> 00:02:08,217
- [chanting] Equal housing now!
- Equal housing now!
- 29
- 00:02:08,219 --> 00:02:10,087
- Equal housing now!
- 30
- 00:02:10,089 --> 00:02:12,791
- [woman] They call this Magic
- City, Mr. Atkins.
- 31
- 00:02:13,559 --> 00:02:15,327
- Ain't no magic here.
- 32
- 00:02:16,228 --> 00:02:20,263
- Abe Greenfeld ain't nothin'
- but a vile slumlord.
- 33
- 00:02:20,265 --> 00:02:21,732
- You know it, and I know it.
- 34
- 00:02:21,734 --> 00:02:24,234
- And the black people
- of East Durham
- 35
- 00:02:24,236 --> 00:02:26,505
- have the same rights
- as anybody else.
- 36
- 00:02:27,539 --> 00:02:30,140
- This girl, Mr. Atkins,
- 37
- 00:02:30,142 --> 00:02:35,414
- this young lady is a single
- mother of three children.
- 38
- 00:02:36,116 --> 00:02:39,986
- And she wake up this morning
- to an eviction notice.
- 39
- 00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:44,589
- - But there's no hot water. What, baby, for two weeks?
- - That's right, Miss A.
- 40
- 00:02:44,591 --> 00:02:47,625
- - Two weeks, and you say, what? No toilet?
- - No toilet.
- 41
- 00:02:47,627 --> 00:02:51,031
- No toilet. And that ain't
- no way for no human to live.
- 42
- 00:02:57,603 --> 00:02:59,202
- [stifled laugh]
- 43
- 00:02:59,204 --> 00:03:02,608
- Mr. Atkins,
- we done writin' letters here.
- 44
- 00:03:03,109 --> 00:03:05,177
- We want to be heard before
- tomorrow night's ruling.
- 45
- 00:03:05,645 --> 00:03:08,613
- Miss Atwater,
- you know our agenda is tight,
- 46
- 00:03:08,615 --> 00:03:12,684
- and we simply cannot allot time
- to everybody that wants to speak.
- 47
- 00:03:12,686 --> 00:03:16,087
- - [telephone rings]
- - Now thank you. Show yourselves out.
- 48
- 00:03:16,089 --> 00:03:19,657
- Mr. Tucker, to what
- do I owe this pleasure?
- 49
- 00:03:19,659 --> 00:03:21,828
- - Sit down.
- - [Atkins laughs]
- 50
- 00:03:22,328 --> 00:03:25,432
- And a mighty fine afternoon
- to you, too.
- 51
- 00:03:26,033 --> 00:03:29,200
- Now you listen to me, Councilman!
- And you too, Mr. Tucker!
- 52
- 00:03:29,202 --> 00:03:32,503
- We ain't goin' nowhere until
- we get down to the brass tacks.
- 53
- 00:03:32,505 --> 00:03:34,574
- - You understand me?
- - Everything all right here, Bill?
- 54
- 00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:40,545
- Mr. Oldham, now we have been
- sitting here for over half an hour.
- 55
- 00:03:40,547 --> 00:03:42,749
- - The councilman ain't done nothin' but...
- - Ann.
- 56
- 00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:47,087
- Ann. We're gonna give you your
- chance to speak tomorrow night.
- 57
- 00:03:49,222 --> 00:03:50,356
- Are we good now?
- 58
- 00:03:52,225 --> 00:03:53,860
- [chuckles] Not yet.
- 59
- 00:03:55,996 --> 00:03:57,064
- Come on.
- 60
- 00:04:04,805 --> 00:04:06,874
- [insects buzzing]
- 61
- 00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:12,010
- [man] Samuel Grace. Ayes?
- 62
- 00:04:12,012 --> 00:04:14,148
- - [all] Aye.
- - Nays?
- 63
- 00:04:15,516 --> 00:04:19,318
- Okay, then. Fred Eggert,
- Gene Waddle, and Samuel Grace
- 64
- 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,520

- as new citizens

- 00:04:23,657 --> 00:04:25,190
- United Klans of America.
- 67
- 00:04:25,192 --> 00:04:27,725
- Kligraph is directed
- to certify the petitions
- 68
- 00:04:27,727 --> 00:04:30,361
- and prepare the oaths
- for ceremony.
- 69
- 00:04:30,363 --> 00:04:31,765
- Roy, next week should be fine.
- 70
- 00:04:33,033 --> 00:04:35,834
- Final item.
- Combat and firearms training
- 71
- 00:04:35,836 --> 00:04:37,805
- resumes this Saturday
- from noon to 4:00
- 72
- 00:04:38,471 --> 00:04:41,776
- under the supervision of
- second officer Floyd Kelly.
- 73
- 00:04:42,442 --> 00:04:45,944
- And I'll remind the Youth Corps members
- that this training is mandatory.
- 74
- 00:04:45,946 --> 00:04:48,447
- Y'all hear me?
- I'm talkin' to you.
- 75
- 00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:50,651
- - Yeah.
- - [men chuckling]
- 76
- 00:04:51,418 --> 00:04:52,620
- Let's bow our heads.
- 77
- 00:04:56,091 --> 00:04:58,891
- Heavenly Father, give us strong
- minds, great hearts,
- 78
- 00:04:58,893 --> 00:05:00,828
- true faith, and ready hands.
- 79
- 00:05:01,263 --> 00:05:03,897
- Keep us unfettered
- from the world
- 80
- 00:05:03,899 --> 00:05:05,330
- that we might fight
- the good fight
- 81
- 00:05:05,332 --> 00:05:07,399
- and be worthy
- to claim the prize.
- 82
- 00:05:07,401 --> 00:05:11,872
- May we as brethren and Klansmen
- be steadfast and unremovable.
- 83
- 00:05:12,305 --> 00:05:14,039
- As we go hence
- from this Klavern
- 84
- 00:05:14,041 --> 00:05:16,376
- into the struggle
- of the alien world,
- 85
- 00:05:17,011 --> 00:05:21,782
- let us not forget the crowning
- glory of a Klansman is to serve.
- 86
- 00:05:22,416 --> 00:05:24,750
- Non silba, sed anthar.
- 87
- 00:05:24,752 --> 00:05:27,621
- [all]
- Not for self, but for others!
- 88
- 00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:29,888
- - Get him ready.
- - Mm-hmm.
- 89
- 00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:31,857
- - You can say that again.
- - He was born ready.
- 90
- 00:05:31,859 --> 00:05:32,894
- Ready or not.
- 91
- 00:05:33,962 --> 00:05:35,030
- Mr. Ellis?
- 92
- 00:05:35,529 --> 00:05:37,396
- Oh, hey.
- 93
- 00:05:37,398 --> 00:05:39,933
- This is, uh, this is the new
- boy I was telling you about.
- 94
- 00:05:39,935 --> 00:05:42,068
- Oh, sure. Sure, sure.
- 95
- 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:43,870
- Sure, Ben.
- Come on in the office.
- 96
- 00:05:43,872 --> 00:05:45,207
- I'll see you fellas.
- 97
- 00:05:47,843 --> 00:05:49,110
- Have a seat.
- 98
- 00:05:53,982 --> 00:05:55,515
- What's your name, son?
- 99
- 00:05:55,517 --> 00:05:57,320
- [clears throat]
- Leonard, sir.
- 100
- 00:05:59,222 --> 00:06:00,788
- Don't be nervous, Leonard.
- 101
- 00:06:01,755 --> 00:06:04,259
- Ben here tells me you'd like to
- be a part of the Youth Corps.
- 102
- 00:06:05,126 --> 00:06:06,261
- Yes. Yes, sir.
- 103
- 00:06:07,829 --> 00:06:09,965
- Why do you want to be in
- the Youth Corps, Leonard?
- 104
- 00:06:10,665 --> 00:06:12,334
- [clears throat]
- To help...
- 105
- 00:06:12,834 --> 00:06:15,735
- To help protect
- the white race of America
- 106
- 00:06:15,737 --> 00:06:19,875
- from the communist niggers
- and Jews who threaten us, sir.
- 107
- 00:06:20,675 --> 00:06:22,345
- - That's a good boy.
- - [desk drawer opens]
- 108
- 00:06:23,411 --> 00:06:25,812
- - But that's not all.
- - [drawer slides shut]
- 109
- 00:06:25,814 --> 00:06:28,349
- It's our rights,
- our freedoms,
- 110
- 00:06:28,351 --> 00:06:30,385
- our way of life
- that need protecting.
- 111
- 00:06:31,153 --> 00:06:33,453
- We're an endangered species,
- Leonard.
- 112
- 00:06:33,455 --> 00:06:34,456
- You understand?
- 113
- 00:06:35,091 --> 00:06:36,092
- I do.
- 114
- 00:06:38,094 --> 00:06:39,262
- Let me show you something.
- 115
- 00:06:39,829 --> 00:06:41,030
- You see that?
- 116
- 00:06:42,064 --> 00:06:44,298
- One day, this will be
- your most prized possession.
- 117
- 00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:46,702
- It will give you everything
- you need in your life.
- 118
- 00:06:47,169 --> 00:06:51,339
- Brotherhood, standing in the
- community, and a sense of pride
- 119
- 00:06:51,907 --> 00:06:54,209
- that you're part of something
- bigger than yourself.
- 120
- 00:06:55,210 --> 00:06:59,382
- But most importantly,
- it will be a reminder every day
- 121
- 00:07:00,048 --> 00:07:02,717
- that you will no longer be
- an outsider.
- 122
- 00:07:06,655 --> 00:07:07,689
- [box shuts]
- 123
- 00:07:08,324 --> 00:07:10,226
- Welcome to the Youth Corps,
- Leonard.

- [knocking]
- 125
- 00:07:13,362 --> 00:07:14,964
- We gonna
- take care of that thing?
- 126
- 00:07:15,264 --> 00:07:16,365
- Yeah.
- 127
- 00:07:16,899 --> 00:07:19,302
- Ben, bring the car around,
- out back.
- 128
- 00:07:31,081 --> 00:07:32,648
- [engine off]
- 129
- 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:48,463
- Now what?
- 130
- 00:07:53,936 --> 00:07:55,004
- We wait.
- 131
- 00:07:57,106 --> 00:07:58,641
- [man chuckling]

- [dog howls]
- 137
- 00:08:47,357 --> 00:08:49,192
- - She got a nigger boyfriend.
- - [lighter clicks]
- 138
- 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,862
- The neighbors have
- been complaining.
- 139
- 00:08:57,468 --> 00:08:58,503
- Stay here.
- 140
- 00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:02,839
- [song continues]
- 141
- 00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:25,695
- Wait for the light, Wiley.
- 142
- 00:09:35,872 --> 00:09:36,907
- [screams]
- 143
- 00:10:13,677 --> 00:10:15,679
- [chorus vocalizing,
- fading out]

- 145

- [sighs]
- 146
- 00:10:23,821 --> 00:10:26,457
- Hey. Thank you. Mm-hmm.
- 147
- 00:10:26,991 --> 00:10:28,259
- Miss Dupree.
- 148
- 00:10:29,428 --> 00:10:33,197
- Miss Dupree... Yes, I know,
- Miss Dupree, but...
- 149
- 00:10:34,765 --> 00:10:35,867
- Hold on, Miss Dupree.
- 150
- 00:10:36,568 --> 00:10:38,568
- Miss Dupree says
- she can't make it. Her kids...
- 151
- 00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:39,837
- Oh, no. Come here.
- 152
- 00:10:40,472 --> 00:10:43,706
- Cissy, you better get your ass
- down to City Hall tonight.
- 153
- 00:10:43,708 --> 00:10:45,477
- No, no,
- I don't want to hear that.
- 154
- 00:10:45,710 --> 00:10:48,477
- I have been a single mother
- ever since I was 16,
- 155
- 00:10:48,479 --> 00:10:50,513
- and that's a whole hell
- of a lot longer than you.
- 156
- 00:10:50,515 --> 00:10:53,215
- - [chuckles]
- - Well, child, it's supposed to be hard.
- 157
- 00:10:53,217 --> 00:10:55,317
- Are you gonna be there
- later tonight or what?
- 158
- 00:10:55,319 --> 00:10:58,588
- I better see your face
- lookin' black and angry.
- 159
- 00:10:58,590 --> 00:10:59,755
- Mm-hmm.
- 160
- 00:10:59,757 --> 00:11:00,992
- Who's next?
- 161
- 00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:08,634
- [bell dings]
- 162
- 00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:18,377
- Hey, Jeb, I'll take this one.
- 163
- 00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:20,379
- [Jeb] Sure, Mr. Ellis.
- 164
- 00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:23,282
- - Finish up that tire for me, will you?
- - All right.
- 165
- 00:11:35,726 --> 00:11:36,827
- Can you
- fill the place tonight?
- 166
- 00:11:37,529 --> 00:11:39,663
- You know I can, Carvie.
- What's up?
- 167
- 00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:41,533
- We're ruling
- on Greenfeld tonight.
- 168
- 00:11:41,966 --> 00:11:44,534
- Ann Atwater and all her
- Operation Breakthrough niggers
- 169
- 00:11:44,536 --> 00:11:46,937
- are gonna make a scene.
- I just need numbers.
- 170
- 00:11:46,939 --> 00:11:49,875
- Jesus. Greenfeld.
- You gonna help that scum?
- 171
- 00:11:50,175 --> 00:11:52,244
- [Carvie chuckles]
- You know, C.P....
- 172
- 00:11:53,011 --> 00:11:55,512
- Reelection here.
- He got deep pockets.
- 173
- 00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,684
- I need to
- at least appear supportive.
- 174
- 00:11:59,718 --> 00:12:01,920
- And you need to keep your
- friends on the city council.
- 175
- 00:12:02,387 --> 00:12:06,890
- - [car door opens, closes]
- - I know, Carvie. We'll be there.
- 176
- 00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:10,028
- [soul plays; hands clapping]
- 177
- 00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,738
- [song continues]
- 178
- 00:12:41,694 --> 00:12:43,028
- [song stops]
- 179
- 00:12:47,667 --> 00:12:50,270
- [C.P.] Oh, you late. Yeah.
- 180
- 00:12:51,738 --> 00:12:53,904
- I guess that's
- what they call Africa time.
- 181
- 00:12:53,906 --> 00:12:55,373
- [men laugh]
- 182
- 00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,909
- [female clerk]
- First item on the docket.
- 183
- 00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:59,711
- In the matter of the
- Edgemont community housing,
- 184
- 00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:02,413
- the council will first hear
- from Mr. Paulsen,
- 185
- 00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:04,616
- representing Mr. Greenfeld.
- 186
- 00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:06,252
- [spectators groaning,
- murmuring]
- 187
- 00:13:08,489 --> 00:13:09,490
- Good evening.
- 188
- 00:13:10,424 --> 00:13:13,591
- As you know,
- Mr. Greenfeld prides himself
- 189
- 00:13:13,593 --> 00:13:16,960
- on providing comfortable
- housing at affordable rent
- 190
- 00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,430
- to a great many people
- in Durham.
- 191
- 00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:21,065
- - [murmuring]
- - [gavel raps]
- 192
- 00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:23,000
- The council will hear
- Mr. Paulsen.
- 193
- 00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:25,970
- As with any dwelling,
- from time to time,
- 194
- 00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:29,974
- there undoubtedly will be some...
- wear and tear.
- 195
- 00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:34,111
- - [laughing, scoffing]
- - Mr. Greenfeld fully intends to address any of these issues
- 196
- 00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:35,516
- that these folks might have.
- 197
- 00:13:36,215 --> 00:13:39,351
- However, with
- the recent inclement weather,
- 198
- 00:13:39,353 --> 00:13:43,255
- Mr. Greenfeld has had insufficient
- time to get to everyone.
- 199
- 00:13:43,257 --> 00:13:44,824
- That's a lie.
- 200
- 00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:47,092
- - [gavel raps]
- - We ask that the council grant us
- 201
- 00:13:47,094 --> 00:13:50,631
- the 90-day extension
- for these minor repairs.
- 202
- 00:13:51,332 --> 00:13:52,333
- Thank you.
- 203
- 00:13:52,966 --> 00:13:54,034
- Miss Atwater?
- 204
- 00:14:11,819 --> 00:14:16,122
- Uncomfortable housing
- and unaffordable rent
- 205
- 00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:21,259
- are about the only two things
- Abe Greenfeld has ever given us.
- 206
- 00:14:21,261 --> 00:14:23,028
- [exclaiming, applauding]
- 207
- 00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:25,897
- Now,
- I have here with me
- 208
- 00:14:25,899 --> 00:14:31,305
- 79 written complaints from
- the residents of Edgemont.
- 209
- 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,973
- Each and every last one of
- them is a code violation.
- 210
- 00:14:34,975 --> 00:14:37,945
- - [exclaiming, applauding]
- - [gavel raps]
- 211
- 00:14:38,513 --> 00:14:40,813
- I brought 'em here with me
- 'cause, obviously,
- 212
- 00:14:40,815 --> 00:14:43,385
- you ain't get 'em the first couple
- times when they were sent here.
- 213
- 00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:46,688
- [exclaiming, applauding]
- 214
- 00:14:47,554 --> 00:14:49,087
- - [gavel raps]
- - Order!
- 215
- 00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:51,990
- Now we are fed up
- with this man
- 216
- 00:14:51,992 --> 00:14:55,562
- and his eviction notices
- and his rent hikes.
- 217
- 00:14:56,196 --> 00:15:00,200
- He has absolutely no care for
- his tenants' living conditions.
- 218
- 00:15:00,467 --> 00:15:04,102
- We humans. Humans shouldn't
- have to live like this.
- 219
- 00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:06,371
- [clamoring]
- 220
- 00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:08,676
- [gavel rapping]
- 221
- 00:15:09,042 --> 00:15:11,477
- Thank you for your comments,
- Miss Atwater.
- 222
- 00:15:11,479 --> 00:15:13,912
- And I will personally
- 223
- 00:15:13,914 --> 00:15:16,148
- pass those complaints
- on to the housing commission
- 224
- 00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:18,720
- for future review.
- 225
- 00:15:19,354 --> 00:15:22,688
- At this time,
- the council will grant
- 226
- 00:15:22,690 --> 00:15:24,726
- the requested
- 90-day extension.
- 227
- 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,396
- Thank you all. This council will
- now stand in recess till next week.
- 228
- 00:15:31,533 --> 00:15:32,600
- Bye.
- 229
- 00:15:36,370 --> 00:15:37,806
- [woman] Put down that
- paper, Claiborne.
- 230
- 00:15:38,773 --> 00:15:41,308
- - Put it down.
- - All right. Okay, Mama.
- 231
- 00:15:43,143 --> 00:15:44,679
- - Daddy.
- - Huh?
- 232
- 00:15:45,078 --> 00:15:46,980
- Hey, it's time
- to visit with your children.
- 233
- 00:15:47,582 --> 00:15:50,452
- - Claiborne!
- - I'm visiting. I-I...
- 234
- 00:15:51,152 --> 00:15:52,320
- I'm visiting.
- 235
- 00:15:54,289 --> 00:15:55,824
- How's your marks, Tim?
- 236
- 00:15:57,258 --> 00:15:58,760
- [mother]
- Tim, answer your father.
- 237
- 00:16:00,261 --> 00:16:01,963
- I'm gettin' an "F" in math.
- 238
- 00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:03,665
- - That's 'cause you're stupid.
- - Hey!
- 239
- 00:16:05,634 --> 00:16:07,668
- Well, I know it ain't for
- a lack of trying, son.
- 240
- 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:09,937
- Maybe your teacher can give you
- a little extra time after school.
- 241
- 00:16:09,939 --> 00:16:11,574
- I don't think this teacher.
- 242
- 00:16:13,943 --> 00:16:15,276
- Why not?
- 243
- 00:16:15,811 --> 00:16:17,947
- She said I just ain't got
- a head for numbers, Daddy.
- 244
- 00:16:18,380 --> 00:16:20,614
- She said
- that don't matter, though.
- 245
- 00:16:20,616 --> 00:16:23,117
- Said I'll just work in the gas
- station with you when I grow up.
- 246
- 00:16:28,623 --> 00:16:29,657
- Yeah.
- 247
- 00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:32,962
- Maybe this teacher
- ain't so smart.
- 248
- 00:16:35,230 --> 00:16:38,130
- I'm gonna stop in at Murdock this
- morning before I go in. See your brother.
- 249
- 00:16:38,132 --> 00:16:40,333
- - Give him a kiss for us, Daddy.
- - You bet.
- 250
- 00:16:40,335 --> 00:16:41,871
- I don't like that place.
- 251
- 00:16:42,136 --> 00:16:43,971
- That's 'cause it's full of
- weirdos and retards.
- 252
- 00:16:43,973 --> 00:16:45,306
- Kenneth Wade!
- 253
- 00:16:45,808 --> 00:16:47,641
- Don't be
- calling your brother that.
- 254
- 00:16:47,643 --> 00:16:49,409
- I wasn't talking about him.
- 255
- 00:16:49,411 --> 00:16:51,614
- - He just ain't as lucky as you is all.
- - That's right.
- 256
- 00:16:52,414 --> 00:16:53,415
- I'm sorry.
- 257
- 00:16:53,816 --> 00:16:55,584
- You be sorry
- cleanin' that table.
- 258
- 00:16:56,318 --> 00:16:57,553
- Yes, sir.
- 259
- 00:17:00,456 --> 00:17:02,258
- I better go.
- Give me some sugar, sugar.
- 260
- 00:17:02,558 --> 00:17:03,726
- Bye, Daddy.
- 261
- 00:17:06,328 --> 00:17:08,497
- [Ann] Let's go, girls.
- Move your backsides.
- 262
- 00:17:12,233 --> 00:17:13,334
- Marilynn.
- 263
- 00:17:14,068 --> 00:17:17,538
- Marilynn!
- Girl, you forgot your lunch.
- 264
- 00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:21,042
- You'd forget your head if it wasn't
- attached to your shoulders. Go on now.
- 265
- 00:17:33,689 --> 00:17:36,325
- [nurse] Hey, come on.
- Help me out here.
- 266
- 00:17:40,062 --> 00:17:41,096
- Come on.
- 267
- 00:17:48,237 --> 00:17:50,272
- No. You gotta
- help me out here.
- 268
- 00:17:51,206 --> 00:17:52,242
- Hey, buddy.
- 269
- 00:17:53,243 --> 00:17:54,277
- Hey, buddy.
- 270
- 00:17:55,045 --> 00:17:56,112
- It's Daddy.
- 271
- 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,882
- How you doing, pumpkin?
- 272
- 00:17:59,381 --> 00:18:00,614
- You have breakfast yet?
- 273
- 00:18:00,616 --> 00:18:02,217
- Pancakes this morning.
- 274
- 00:18:02,518 --> 00:18:04,955
- Oh! Hey, buddy,
- that's your favorite.
- 275
- 00:18:07,824 --> 00:18:08,925
- Thank you.
- 276
- 00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:16,265
- You got eggs
- and maple syrup.
- 277
- 00:18:16,933 --> 00:18:19,970
- [humming
- "Oh My Darlin' Clementine"]
- 278
- 00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:25,375
- Supposed to cut this up
- ahead of time.
- 279
- 00:18:26,576 --> 00:18:28,411
- He can't swallow all this.
- 280
- 00:18:30,547 --> 00:18:31,748
- There you go.
- 281
- 00:18:32,382 --> 00:18:33,750
- There you go.
- 282
- 00:18:37,721 --> 00:18:41,957
- So you must multiply
- the three on this side by two.
- 283
- 00:18:41,959 --> 00:18:45,259
- But remember,
- whatever you do to the bottom,
- 284
- 00:18:45,261 --> 00:18:46,963
- you must do to the top,
- right?
- 285
- 00:18:48,297 --> 00:18:49,964
- Good.
- So, I want you to go ahead,
- 286
- 00:18:49,966 --> 00:18:52,002
- work out the equations
- that I gave you.
- 287
- 00:18:53,903 --> 00:18:56,136
- Let's do the next one,
- let's see what you come up with.
- 288
- 00:18:56,138 --> 00:18:57,607
- All right?
- 289
- 00:18:59,075 --> 00:19:01,609
- [metallic creaking]
- 290
- 00:19:01,611 --> 00:19:03,847
- [alarm bell ringing]

- [children screaming, shouting]
- 292
- 00:19:11,088 --> 00:19:12,255
- [woman] Don't...
- 293
- 00:19:20,665 --> 00:19:22,466
- [coughing]
- 294
- 00:19:28,806 --> 00:19:31,242
- [sirens approaching]
- 295
- 00:19:31,776 --> 00:19:32,843
- Over here. Come on.
- 296
- 00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:35,245
- [rings]
- 297
- 00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:38,648
- Ann Atwater.
- 298
- 00:19:41,418 --> 00:19:42,452
- Hey, baby.
- 299
- 00:19:44,889 --> 00:19:46,090
- - [Marilynn] Mama!
- - Oh!
- 300
- 00:19:46,556 --> 00:19:48,057
- Thank God. [exhales]
- 301
- 00:19:48,059 --> 00:19:50,159
- - Are you okay?
- - I'm okay.
- 302
- 00:19:50,161 --> 00:19:52,663
- Okay, baby. You go wait in the car.
- I'll be right there.
- 303
- 00:19:53,831 --> 00:19:56,865
- - Is anybody hurt?
- - Everyone's okay. Just lots of smoke.
- 304
- 00:19:56,867 --> 00:19:58,300
- How did it start?
- 305
- 00:19:58,302 --> 00:19:59,702
- [man]
- Most likely electrical,
- 306
- 00:19:59,704 --> 00:20:01,203
- the way they keep
- this place up.
- 307
- 00:20:01,205 --> 00:20:03,539
- Or it could've been set
- on purpose.
- 308
- 00:20:03,541 --> 00:20:05,910
- No. Klan ain't that stupid.
- 309
- 00:20:06,377 --> 00:20:07,445
- [man] Why do you say that?
- 310
- 00:20:08,379 --> 00:20:10,414
- When a black school burns,
- then...
- 311
- 00:20:12,550 --> 00:20:13,584
- Then what?
- 312
- 00:20:16,088 --> 00:20:18,690
- Then the black kids
- gotta find a new school.
- 313
- 00:20:20,726 --> 00:20:22,627
- [laughter]
- 314
- 00:20:27,998 --> 00:20:30,399
- Turns out,
- he left the thing in neutral.
- 315
- 00:20:30,401 --> 00:20:32,568
- It rolls
- right back into the ravine.
- 316
- 00:20:32,570 --> 00:20:34,737
- They didn't find that truck
- for two weeks.
- 317
- 00:20:34,739 --> 00:20:38,240
- Oh, are you talking about how
- small your pecker is again, Wiley?
- 318
- 00:20:38,242 --> 00:20:40,844
- - [laughter]
- - That ain't funny, Doreen.
- 319
- 00:20:40,846 --> 00:20:43,949
- Yeah, it ain't that kind of funny.
- That's for sure.
- 320
- 00:20:49,788 --> 00:20:52,456
- [song on jukebox, muffled]
- 321
- 00:21:02,801 --> 00:21:04,736
- [laughing]
- 322
- 00:21:06,304 --> 00:21:08,141
- [Floyd] You-You wait...
- 323
- 00:21:12,244 --> 00:21:13,879
- The guy's got one arm.
- 324
- 00:21:14,846 --> 00:21:15,847
- C.P.
- 325
- 00:21:16,882 --> 00:21:20,685
- Garland... Garland Keith, my friend.
- You're out late.
- 326
- 00:21:21,485 --> 00:21:24,220
- - You wanna have a seat?
- - No, thank you. Gentlemen.
- 327
- 00:21:24,222 --> 00:21:27,390
- Well, something must be awfully
- important for you to lower yourself
- 328
- 00:21:27,392 --> 00:21:29,592
- - to come to a dump like this, Garland.
- - Floyd, come on now.
- 329
- 00:21:29,594 --> 00:21:30,796
- No, no. Mm-mmm.
- 330
- 00:21:31,463 --> 00:21:33,797
- I like
- the White Citizens' Council,
- 331
- 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:37,234
- with their parade floats and
- their fancy country club meetings.
- 332
- 00:21:37,236 --> 00:21:41,071
- I'm always honored to mop up after
- 'em, do the dirty work.
- 333
- 00:21:41,073 --> 00:21:43,306
- You'll have to excuse Mr. Kelly.
- It's been a long week.
- 334
- 00:21:43,308 --> 00:21:46,243
- [Garland] Sorry to say it's
- about to get a bit longer.
- 335
- 00:21:46,245 --> 00:21:49,612
- There was a fire out at
- East End Elementary today.
- 336
- 00:21:49,614 --> 00:21:51,349
- So what? It's a black school.
- 337
- 00:21:52,517 --> 00:21:56,352
- The parents have already filed
- a petition to allow the students
- 338
- 00:21:56,354 --> 00:21:59,558
- to finish out the year
- at Durham Elementary School.
- 339
- 00:22:00,192 --> 00:22:03,028
- There's an emergency
- council meeting tomorrow.
- 340
- 00:22:05,530 --> 00:22:08,400
- Well... Ann Atwater?
- 341
- 00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:10,468
- I think so.
- 342
- 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:13,770
- [C.P.] This ain't no small
- landlord dispute, Garland.
- 343
- 00:22:13,772 --> 00:22:15,540
- We gonna need everybody
- on this one.
- 344
- 00:22:16,675 --> 00:22:18,476
- Well, that's why
- I'm here, C.P.
- 345
- 00:22:25,852 --> 00:22:27,153
- Were you scared?
- 346
- 00:22:29,422 --> 00:22:30,456
- A little.
- 347
- 00:22:31,524 --> 00:22:32,725
- [sighs]
- 348
- 00:22:34,694 --> 00:22:36,395
- It's gonna be
- all right, okay?
- 349
- 00:22:37,797 --> 00:22:39,699
- All right, baby?
- You get some rest.
- 350
- 00:22:40,499 --> 00:22:42,202
- Try to go to sleep, okay?
- 351
- 00:22:46,173 --> 00:22:47,372
- You warm enough?
- 352
- 00:22:47,807 --> 00:22:49,173
- [Marilynn] Mm-hmm.
- 353
- 00:22:49,175 --> 00:22:50,675
- [kisses, chuckles]
- 354
- 00:22:52,011 --> 00:22:53,279
- - Mama?
- - Mm-hmm?
- 355
- 00:22:55,181 --> 00:22:56,916
- Where are we gonna
- go to school now?
- 356
- 00:22:58,251 --> 00:23:00,052
- Don't you worry
- about a thing, okay?
- 357
- 00:23:01,454 --> 00:23:04,190
- Mama gonna find you
- somewhere real nice to go.
- 358
- 00:23:06,326 --> 00:23:07,593
- Say your prayers.
- 359
- 00:23:10,763 --> 00:23:12,730
- [male reporter]
- The fire was strictly limited
- 360
- 00:23:12,732 --> 00:23:15,499
- to the building's facilities
- and perhaps equipment.
- 361
- 00:23:15,501 --> 00:23:18,303
- [man] I know your first appearance
- here, you can't make an opinion...
- 362
- 00:23:18,305 --> 00:23:20,704
- I'm not gonna have them kids
- going to Tim's school.
- 363
- 00:23:20,706 --> 00:23:21,742
- Mmm.
- 364
- 00:23:22,709 --> 00:23:24,843
- Well, they gonna
- put 'em somewhere.
- 365
- 00:23:24,845 --> 00:23:26,914
- Ain't gonna be
- in Durham Elementary.
- 366
- 00:23:27,413 --> 00:23:30,083
- Tim having enough trouble
- without more distractions.
- 367
- 00:23:32,052 --> 00:23:35,121
- May have to look into one of them
- private schools outside of town.
- 368
- 00:23:35,755 --> 00:23:39,723
- - Oh, yeah. How we gonna pay for that?
- - I'm workin' on it.
- 369
- 00:23:39,725 --> 00:23:42,995
- It ain't gonna work until you start
- sellin' gas to the other half of Durham.
- 370
- 00:23:48,335 --> 00:23:49,535
- What's that
- supposed to mean?
- 371
- 00:23:50,203 --> 00:23:51,470
- You know what it means.
- 372
- 00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:54,039
- - That's not fair.
- - Oh, fair.
- 373
- 00:23:54,041 --> 00:23:56,942
- - Hey.
- - Come on. It's not fair, it's a fact.
- 374
- 00:23:56,944 --> 00:23:58,543
- It's not fair
- 'cause you know I can't.
- 375
- 00:23:58,545 --> 00:24:00,312
- How's it gonna look
- if the president of the Klan
- 376
- 00:24:00,314 --> 00:24:02,213
- is puttin' gasoline
- in a nigger's car?
- 377
- 00:24:02,215 --> 00:24:04,115
- - How's it gonna look to my Klan folk?
- - Oh. Oh, I see.
- 378
- 00:24:04,117 --> 00:24:07,585
- I... I didn't know
- that the Klan pays your bills.
- 379
- 00:24:07,587 --> 00:24:10,055
- - I didn't think so.
- - [groans] Here we go.
- 380
- 00:24:10,057 --> 00:24:12,091
- You spend all that time
- at Klavern hall
- 381
- 00:24:12,093 --> 00:24:15,627
- jaw-jackin' about them niggers
- and them commies and them Jews.
- 382
- 00:24:15,629 --> 00:24:17,898
- - I don't sound like that.
- - Yeah, you do.
- 383
- 00:24:20,969 --> 00:24:22,401
- - Give me some...
- - Eww!
- 384
- 00:24:22,403 --> 00:24:23,904
- Claiborne Ellis,
- you smell like beer.
- 385
- 00:24:44,524 --> 00:24:47,028
- I'm not gonna have them kids
- going to our school.
- 386
- 00:24:48,628 --> 00:24:52,131
- This emergency council meeting
- was called late last night
- 387
- 00:24:52,133 --> 00:24:54,599
- after an apparent
- electrical fire
- 388
- 00:24:54,601 --> 00:24:58,304
- destroyed nearly half
- of East End Elementary School.
- 389
- 00:24:58,306 --> 00:25:01,207
- They've been in session
- for nearly three hours now.
- 390
- 00:25:01,209 --> 00:25:03,878
- [spectators chattering]
- 391
- 00:25:35,176 --> 00:25:38,345
- This council is facing
- some difficult decisions.
- 392
- 00:25:38,347 --> 00:25:43,183
- Tonight, we've had to consider how
- these decisions will affect the students
- 393
- 00:25:43,185 --> 00:25:45,521
- of not one school, but two.
- 394
- 00:25:46,422 --> 00:25:48,921
- We've heard testimony
- from the marshal
- 395
- 00:25:48,923 --> 00:25:51,690
- that eight classrooms
- and three common areas,
- 396
- 00:25:51,692 --> 00:25:52,993
- including the gymnasium,
- 397
- 00:25:52,995 --> 00:25:54,627
- were unaffected by the fire.
- 398
- 00:25:54,629 --> 00:25:56,329
- - Unaffected?
- - Hey.
- 399
- 00:25:56,331 --> 00:25:58,531
- - Have you been to the school?
- - She's breakin' the rules.
- 400
- 00:25:58,533 --> 00:26:00,933
- No, no. Ain't nobody talkin' to
- you, C.P., so shut your mouth.
- 401
- 00:26:00,935 --> 00:26:03,335
- - Miss Atwater, you've had your time.
- - I've seen the school.
- 402
- 00:26:03,337 --> 00:26:05,671
- And if that marshal says that
- school is habitable for children...
- 403
- 00:26:05,673 --> 00:26:07,373
- Miss Atwater,
- you have had your time.
- 404
- 00:26:07,375 --> 00:26:09,842
- ...then he's just lyin'
- or he just plain stupid!
- 405
- 00:26:09,844 --> 00:26:12,312
- - [C.P.] Why don't you shut up?
- - Don't make no sense.
- 406
- 00:26:12,314 --> 00:26:14,882
- - [gavel raps]
- - [clamoring]
- 407
- 00:26:19,354 --> 00:26:20,389
- [man] Shut up!
- 408
- 00:26:20,955 --> 00:26:22,558
- We will have quiet
- in the chamber!
- 409
- 00:26:24,659 --> 00:26:26,927
- - [clamoring quiets]
- - Now what we talkin' about is important,
- 410
- 00:26:26,929 --> 00:26:29,731
- and you're gonna damn well
- listen to us, Mr. Steele.
- 411
- 00:26:30,299 --> 00:26:31,433
- [Carvie] Miss Atwater.
- 412
- 00:26:32,134 --> 00:26:33,135
- Miss Atwater.
- 413
- 00:26:33,969 --> 00:26:37,272
- Kindly take your seat before
- I have a deputy remove you.
- 414
- 00:26:52,121 --> 00:26:53,155
- Now then...
- 415
- 00:26:54,456 --> 00:26:56,123
- it is the opinion
- of this council
- 416
- 00:26:56,125 --> 00:26:58,927
- that there remain
- two basic questions.
- 417
- 00:26:59,727 --> 00:27:05,165
- One, is East End
- a safe and habitable place
- 418
- 00:27:05,167 --> 00:27:07,703
- for its students to finish
- their school year?
- 419
- 00:27:08,471 --> 00:27:12,373
- And two, would the students
- of Durham Elementary
- 420
- 00:27:12,375 --> 00:27:17,447
- be unfairly burdened by the sudden
- and massive influx of new students?
- 421
- 00:27:20,416 --> 00:27:23,353
- Our answer
- to both of these questions...
- 422
- 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,987
- is yes.
- 423
- 00:27:25,989 --> 00:27:27,857
- [scattered applause]
- 424
- 00:27:30,226 --> 00:27:33,327
- With the limited number of
- classrooms that remain at East End,
- 425
- 00:27:33,329 --> 00:27:36,963
- the students will be put
- on a split-shift system.
- 426
- 00:27:36,965 --> 00:27:41,437
- One from 7:00 a.m. to noon,
- the other from noon to 5:00.
- 427
- 00:27:41,837 --> 00:27:43,504
- [cameraman]
- We're good. I got it.
- 428
- 00:27:43,506 --> 00:27:44,641
- [man] Miss Atwater?
- 429
- 00:27:47,443 --> 00:27:48,942
- Who the hell are you?
- 430
- 00:27:48,944 --> 00:27:51,214
- Miss Atwater,
- we're from the NAACP.
- 431
- 00:27:55,618 --> 00:27:58,019
- [male reporter]
- WDNC news time, 9:00 a.m.
- 432
- 00:27:58,021 --> 00:28:02,323
- Recapping our top story, the NAACP's
- legal action is causing quite a stir
- 433
- 00:28:02,325 --> 00:28:04,025
- inside the county's
- district court,
- 434
- 00:28:04,027 --> 00:28:06,127
- one source saying
- he would not want to be
- 435
- 00:28:06,129 --> 00:28:08,362
- in Judge Les Hallford's shoes
- this morning.
- 436
- 00:28:08,364 --> 00:28:10,733
- - [woman] Good morning, Your Honor.
- - [sighs]
- 437
- 00:28:13,136 --> 00:28:14,371
- [Hallford exhales]
- 438
- 00:28:14,938 --> 00:28:17,972
- - Is that it?
- - Just arrived.
- 439
- 00:28:17,974 --> 00:28:21,643
- Full and immediate integration
- of all Durham public schools.
- 440
- 00:28:21,645 --> 00:28:23,213
- [Hallford exhales]
- 441
- 00:28:24,414 --> 00:28:26,380
- Get Wilbur Hobby in here.
- 442
- 00:28:26,382 --> 00:28:27,483
- Yes, sir.
- 443
- 00:28:29,785 --> 00:28:31,852
- You've passed things down
- before.
- 444
- 00:28:31,854 --> 00:28:33,690
- Ah, you know
- I can't do that.
- 445
- 00:28:34,257 --> 00:28:38,361
- These idiots just sent kids back
- into a school that's still smokin'.
- 446
- 00:28:38,728 --> 00:28:41,929
- I pass it down, it's the same
- as ruling against.
- 447
- 00:28:41,931 --> 00:28:44,901
- I know. I just wanted to
- make sure you knew that.
- 448
- 00:28:45,969 --> 00:28:50,071
- I asked you here for your
- counsel, Wilbur, not a lecture.
- 449
- 00:28:50,073 --> 00:28:51,406
- Sorry.
- 450
- 00:28:51,408 --> 00:28:52,476
- [exhales]
- 451
- 00:28:54,245 --> 00:28:57,179
- What if you held off,
- delayed your ruling?
- 452
- 00:28:57,181 --> 00:29:00,983
- [scoffs] Delaying the inevitable,
- that's all that would be.
- 453
- 00:29:00,985 --> 00:29:05,787
- No. You delay to allow the people of
- Durham to reach their own decision.
- 454
- 00:29:05,789 --> 00:29:07,623
- I'm not following, Wilbur.
- 455
- 00:29:07,625 --> 00:29:08,759
- [exhales]
- 456
- 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,394
- - I know a guy.
- - [chuckles] You know a guy?
- 457
- 00:29:13,396 --> 00:29:15,162
- Yes, I know a guy.
- 458
- 00:29:15,164 --> 00:29:18,600
- He runs a department at
- Shaw University down in Raleigh.
- 459
- 00:29:18,602 --> 00:29:21,902
- He does this thing.
- Uh, he holds charrettes.
- 460
- 00:29:21,904 --> 00:29:23,240
- Cha-what?
- 461
- 00:29:23,906 --> 00:29:27,576
- They're kind of, uh,
- these official community summits
- 462
- 00:29:27,578 --> 00:29:29,745
- with people from both sides
- of the problem.
- 463
- 00:29:29,747 --> 00:29:33,284
- They're called charrettes.
- He's had some pretty good results.
- 464
- 00:29:36,453 --> 00:29:39,658
- Wilbur, get this guy of yours
- up here.
- 465
- 00:29:43,961 --> 00:29:45,796
- [phone rings]
- 466
- 00:29:57,742 --> 00:30:00,110
- Bill?
- Wilbur Hobby's on the phone.
- 467
- 00:30:09,754 --> 00:30:10,988
- Wilbur Hobby.
- 468
- 00:30:11,355 --> 00:30:13,488
- Why does
- this phone call worry me?
- 469
- 00:30:13,490 --> 00:30:15,357
- [chuckles]
- Well, what a coincidence.
- 470
- 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:17,159
- I was hoping
- it would worry you.
- 471
- 00:30:17,161 --> 00:30:18,262
- [Bill laughs]
- 472
- 00:30:19,096 --> 00:30:20,596
- How are you, Wilbur?
- 473
- 00:30:20,598 --> 00:30:22,598
- Looks like you're havin'
- some trouble up there.
- 474
- 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,638
- Well, nothing a heavy dose
- of Bill Riddick can't solve.
- 475
- 00:30:28,972 --> 00:30:30,007
- Hello?
- 476
- 00:30:31,743 --> 00:30:34,777
- Look, Bill, I, uh...
- I heard York went well.
- 477
- 00:30:34,779 --> 00:30:37,680
- York, Pennsylvania, isn't
- Durham, North Carolina, Wilbur.
- 478
- 00:30:37,682 --> 00:30:41,353
- Well, all the more reason
- we need you.
- 479
- 00:30:42,454 --> 00:30:44,456
- Look, you're the only one
- that does this.
- 480
- 00:30:45,223 --> 00:30:47,089
- Besides,
- it'll get you outta the house.
- 481
- 00:30:47,091 --> 00:30:48,825
- Delores even said
- you're driving her crazy.
- 482
- 00:30:48,827 --> 00:30:50,493
- [chuckles]
- 483
- 00:30:50,495 --> 00:30:52,330
- We've been
- drivin' each other crazy.
- 484
- 00:30:55,834 --> 00:30:57,166
- All right, Wilbur.
- 485
- 00:30:57,168 --> 00:30:58,737
- - All right.
- - Great.
- 486
- 00:30:59,304 --> 00:31:02,173
- - I'll see you in a few hours, Bill.
- - A... A few hours?
- 487
- 00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:04,409
- - [dial tone]
- - Hello?
- 488
- 00:31:07,212 --> 00:31:09,312
- Now,
- I've asked Bill Riddick here
- 489
- 00:31:09,314 --> 00:31:11,684
- to conduct
- a ten-day community charrette
- 490
- 00:31:12,417 --> 00:31:15,885
- so that the citizens of Durham
- can finally come to a resolution
- 491
- 00:31:15,887 --> 00:31:18,020
- on the school integration
- question.
- 492
- 00:31:18,022 --> 00:31:20,990
- The city council
- will abide this resolution
- 493
- 00:31:20,992 --> 00:31:23,025
- and enact
- the will of the people.
- 494
- 00:31:23,027 --> 00:31:25,163
- That gutless fool.
- 495
- 00:31:25,664 --> 00:31:26,699
- Abide?
- 496
- 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,566
- Abide? It's not even defined.
- 497
- 00:31:29,568 --> 00:31:31,737
- He's making us
- define it.
- 498
- 00:31:32,671 --> 00:31:34,572
- What are we gonna say
- to the press?
- 499
- 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,708
- Nothing.
- 500
- 00:31:37,242 --> 00:31:39,377
- At least not till
- we get a legal opinion.
- 501
- 00:31:40,245 --> 00:31:44,115
- And in the meantime,
- what in good Christ is a charrette?
- 502
- 00:31:44,449 --> 00:31:46,951
- [man singing pop song]
- 503
- 00:31:49,254 --> 00:31:50,288
- [continues on radio]
- 504
- 00:31:55,728 --> 00:31:58,264
- - [continues, indistinct]
- - [bell dings]
- 505
- 00:32:12,945 --> 00:32:15,414
- Uh, yeah, we don't sell
- gasoline to niggers here.
- 506
- 00:32:19,452 --> 00:32:22,555
- I'm not looking for a fill-up.
- Mr. Ellis?
- 507
- 00:32:25,123 --> 00:32:26,425
- My name is Bill Riddick.
- 508
- 00:32:28,794 --> 00:32:29,795
- Yeah?
- 509
- 00:32:30,629 --> 00:32:33,831
- Uh...
- Wilbur Hobby suggested I...
- 510
- 00:32:33,833 --> 00:32:37,269
- - Wilbur Hobby sent you here?
- - Yeah. He said I should come see you, yeah.
- 511
- 00:32:37,470 --> 00:32:40,139
- He said you represent a great
- many people in this town.
- 512
- 00:32:42,909 --> 00:32:44,610
- He'd be right about that.
- 513
- 00:32:44,977 --> 00:32:48,746
- Well, Mr. Ellis,
- I've been asked to organize a charrette.
- 514
- 00:32:48,748 --> 00:32:50,314
- I read the newspaper.
- 515
- 00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:52,519
- - Oh. So then you know...
- - Hold on.
- 516
- 00:32:53,487 --> 00:32:58,323
- Are you here to ask me to come to
- your, uh, integration meetings?
- 517
- 00:32:58,325 --> 00:33:02,295
- Well, for now, just lunch.
- 518
- 00:33:03,028 --> 00:33:05,296
- - Lunch?
- - Tomorrow.
- 519
- 00:33:05,298 --> 00:33:07,200
- With, uh...
- with me and with Ann Atwater.
- 520
- 00:33:09,135 --> 00:33:10,302
- Come again?
- 521
- 00:33:11,170 --> 00:33:13,003
- Well, I was hoping you'd come to
- lunch with me and Ann Atwater.
- 522
- 00:33:13,005 --> 00:33:15,007
- - Ann Atwater?
- - Ann Atwater.
- 523
- 00:33:18,110 --> 00:33:19,677
- [stifled laugh]
- 524
- 00:33:19,679 --> 00:33:22,346
- What did Wilbur Hobby think
- I'd say to that?
- 525
- 00:33:22,348 --> 00:33:24,582
- Well, he thought
- you would say no.
- 526
- 00:33:24,584 --> 00:33:27,317
- - He'd be right about that, too.
- - Well, see here, Mr. Ellis...
- 527
- 00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:31,356
- - You're not from around here, Mr....
- - Riddick.
- 528
- 00:33:31,358 --> 00:33:32,957
- ...so I'll help you out.
- 529
- 00:33:32,959 --> 00:33:35,193
- Folks in this town,
- and especially me,
- 530
- 00:33:35,195 --> 00:33:37,197
- want niggers to stay
- in their own schools.
- 531
- 00:33:39,132 --> 00:33:41,368
- That's definitely one of the
- options, Mr. Ellis.
- 532
- 00:33:43,370 --> 00:33:46,007
- But right now,
- I'm gonna leave you my card.
- 533
- 00:33:49,175 --> 00:33:50,711
- The local number is
- on the back.
- 534
- 00:33:51,244 --> 00:33:54,147
- - You change your mind...
- - Boy, you better get on outta here.
- 535
- 00:33:55,716 --> 00:33:57,150
- Go on, git.
- Like I told you.
- 536
- 00:34:03,055 --> 00:34:05,759
- Mr. Ellis,
- I hope you reconsider.
- 537
- 00:34:06,693 --> 00:34:10,664
- This charrette is happening. So, uh,
- if you truly represent your people...
- 538
- 00:34:11,831 --> 00:34:12,900
- represent them.
- 539
- 00:34:16,136 --> 00:34:17,304
- Have a good day.
- 540
- 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,934
- [Carvie] We know this makes
- you uncomfortable, C.P.
- 541
- 00:34:48,936 --> 00:34:51,269
- But goddamn it, it's the best
- thing that could have happened.
- 542
- 00:34:51,271 --> 00:34:54,205
- "Uncomfortable" isn't exactly
- the word I'd use for it, Carvie.
- 543
- 00:34:54,207 --> 00:34:56,207
- C.P., what do you think
- would happen
- 544
- 00:34:56,209 --> 00:34:58,577
- if a lily-white liberal was
- in there instead of you?
- 545
- 00:34:58,579 --> 00:34:59,947
- Nothing good.
- 546
- 00:35:00,915 --> 00:35:03,449
- A liberal and Ann Atwater
- would pass integration
- 547
- 00:35:03,451 --> 00:35:05,751
- faster than a hot knife
- through butter.
- 548
- 00:35:05,753 --> 00:35:08,420
- - That's what don't make no sense.
- - [Steele] What don't?
- 549
- 00:35:08,422 --> 00:35:10,723
- This Riddick nigger wants
- school integration, right?
- 550
- 00:35:10,725 --> 00:35:13,026
- So why me?
- Why put that on himself?
- 551
- 00:35:13,028 --> 00:35:14,895
- I shoulda been
- the last person on his list.
- 552
- 00:35:17,465 --> 00:35:19,634
- C.P., this judge...
- 553
- 00:35:20,334 --> 00:35:21,937
- Our hands may be tied.
- 554
- 00:35:22,771 --> 00:35:25,237
- But it won't matter if we
- have a friend on the inside.
- 555
- 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,775
- And especially if that friend
- is C.P. Ellis.
- 556
- 00:35:28,777 --> 00:35:30,777
- Oh, Charlie, I...
- 557
- 00:35:30,779 --> 00:35:33,948
- He's about to hand you
- the keys to school integration,
- 558
- 00:35:34,915 --> 00:35:36,651
- and you're going to
- lock the door.
- 559
- 00:35:39,620 --> 00:35:41,689
- [softly singing hymn]
- 560
- 00:35:48,429 --> 00:35:51,066
- - Hey! How you doin'? How your dad doin'?
- - [man] Good.
- 561
- 00:35:53,935 --> 00:35:55,236
- How late is he?
- 562
- 00:35:56,104 --> 00:35:57,204
- Twenty minutes.
- 563
- 00:35:58,006 --> 00:36:01,643
- C.P. comin' to have lunch
- with two niggers. [scoffs]
- 564
- 00:36:02,010 --> 00:36:04,680
- He'd just as soon shoot us
- than do that.
- 565
- 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,313
- Y'all northern folks
- just don't get it.
- 566
- 00:36:07,315 --> 00:36:08,915
- I'm from North Carolina,
- Ann.
- 567
- 00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:10,817
- Oh, yeah? Where about?
- 568
- 00:36:10,819 --> 00:36:13,455
- - Hertford County.
- - That still north of here.
- 569
- 00:36:17,459 --> 00:36:18,493
- He's here.
- 570
- 00:36:34,409 --> 00:36:35,544
- [Ann] Here he go.
- 571
- 00:36:51,660 --> 00:36:53,930
- Would you look at
- that crazy white man?
- 572
- 00:36:54,596 --> 00:36:56,631
- Just pacing back and forth.
- 573
- 00:36:58,266 --> 00:37:00,169
- I ain't waitin' for that cracker.
- I'm hungry.
- 574
- 00:37:01,037 --> 00:37:03,573
- Mr. Ellis?
- Please, come sit down.
- 575
- 00:37:16,251 --> 00:37:17,884
- Well, uh, okay.
- 576
- 00:37:17,886 --> 00:37:20,154
- Um, thank you both
- for coming.
- 577
- 00:37:20,156 --> 00:37:22,555
- Hopefully,
- this is a first step...
- 578
- 00:37:22,557 --> 00:37:25,893
- Hey, I'm not gonna sit here one
- minute longer than I have to, so...
- 579
- 00:37:25,895 --> 00:37:30,965
- Well, go on and git, then. That way, me
- and Bill can have a civilized conversation.
- 580
- 00:37:30,967 --> 00:37:33,266
- - [scoffs]
- - Mr. Ellis, um,
- 581
- 00:37:33,268 --> 00:37:36,806
- I'm holding a steering committee
- meeting here on Saturday.
- 582
- 00:37:37,206 --> 00:37:41,108
- And I've invited people who represent
- all types of citizens in this community.
- 583
- 00:37:41,110 --> 00:37:43,245
- All types?
- Only two types in this town.
- 584
- 00:37:43,247 --> 00:37:46,580
- Well, whites, black,
- liberals, conservatives.
- 585
- 00:37:46,582 --> 00:37:48,449
- For a charrette
- to be successful,
- 586
- 00:37:48,451 --> 00:37:51,253
- we need to bring together a
- large number of diverse people.
- 587
- 00:37:51,255 --> 00:37:53,621
- [scoffs]
- The only folk he gonna bring,
- 588
- 00:37:53,623 --> 00:37:55,389
- they gonna be wearing
- sheets and hoods.
- 589
- 00:37:55,391 --> 00:37:56,659
- Ain't that right, C.P.?
- 590
- 00:37:58,393 --> 00:37:59,427
- [stammers] Hold on.
- 591
- 00:38:00,462 --> 00:38:01,829
- If you already have
- a meeting set,
- 592
- 00:38:01,831 --> 00:38:03,298
- what the hell am I doing
- sitting here?
- 593
- 00:38:03,666 --> 00:38:05,968
- Well, you're here,
- both of you...
- 594
- 00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:10,773
- because I need two co-chairs
- to lead the charrette.
- 595
- 00:38:14,544 --> 00:38:16,612
- [laughs]
- 596
- 00:38:19,982 --> 00:38:22,817
- I'm gonna think about it,
- you know,
- 597
- 00:38:22,819 --> 00:38:27,124
- 'cause I wouldn't want your type takin'
- over this, uh... what'd you call it?
- 598
- 00:38:29,193 --> 00:38:31,195
- Charade? [laughs]
- 599
- 00:38:34,932 --> 00:38:36,834
- I don't know
- what you're up to either.
- 600
- 00:38:38,268 --> 00:38:42,270
- I don't like it.
- You could use me for my help. That's fine.
- 601
- 00:38:42,272 --> 00:38:44,940
- But I am not gonna work
- with that cracker.
- 602
- 00:38:44,942 --> 00:38:46,676
- So you need to look
- somewhere else.
- 603
- 00:38:48,511 --> 00:38:49,779
- This corn bread is good.
- 604
- 00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:56,784
- [woman] I would love it.
- 605
- 00:38:56,786 --> 00:38:59,553
- [people chattering]
- 606
- 00:38:59,555 --> 00:39:01,289
- Let me help you clear this.
- 607
- 00:39:01,291 --> 00:39:03,892
- - It was delicious.
- - Very nice of you. Thank you.
- 608
- 00:39:03,894 --> 00:39:05,694
- You outdid yourself,
- Mrs. Keith.
- 609
- 00:39:05,696 --> 00:39:07,729
- Oh, well, thank you.
- 610
- 00:39:07,731 --> 00:39:10,565
- Ten days is a long time
- with them people, Garland.
- 611
- 00:39:10,567 --> 00:39:14,469
- It's also a long time for them to
- be making decisions on integration
- 612
- 00:39:14,471 --> 00:39:16,371
- without us having a voice.
- 613
- 00:39:16,373 --> 00:39:18,976
- That's not gonna make it
- any easier to sell to my people.
- 614
- 00:39:19,877 --> 00:39:22,046
- Well, you're their
- president, C.P.
- 615
- 00:39:23,114 --> 00:39:24,581
- You just make 'em understand.
- 616
- 00:39:26,351 --> 00:39:29,986
- Hell, it says so right there
- in your Klan Creed:
- 617
- 00:39:29,988 --> 00:39:35,058
- "Failure to know your enemy gives
- them aid and comfort" and all that.
- 618
- 00:39:36,727 --> 00:39:41,265
- I mean, the truth is, C.P., we...
- we don't know the enemy at all.
- 619
- 00:39:42,332 --> 00:39:43,400
- Do we?
- 620
- 00:40:00,184 --> 00:40:02,450
- You're yankin' on the trigger
- too hard.
- 621
- 00:40:02,452 --> 00:40:05,621
- Trick is to think of it as pressin'
- the trigger, not pullin' on it.
- 622
- 00:40:05,623 --> 00:40:06,758
- Ten-hut!
- 623
- 00:40:07,025 --> 00:40:08,524
- Y'all heed this man, now.
- 624
- 00:40:08,526 --> 00:40:10,161
- Mr. Kelly here's an expert.
- 625
- 00:40:10,628 --> 00:40:13,129
- He even knows that word for when
- you breathe out 'fore you shoot.
- 626
- 00:40:13,131 --> 00:40:14,332
- What's that called again?
- 627
- 00:40:14,866 --> 00:40:17,099
- - Respiratory pause.
- - [men laugh]
- 628
- 00:40:17,101 --> 00:40:19,369
- See? What'd I tell ya?
- 629
- 00:40:19,371 --> 00:40:22,405
- - All right, one more, then next up.
- - [man] All right.
- 630
- 00:40:22,407 --> 00:40:25,143
- You didn't care too much for
- that conversation last night.
- 631
- 00:40:25,943 --> 00:40:28,779
- Well, when it's me and you,
- it's fine.
- 632
- 00:40:29,746 --> 00:40:31,849
- I ain't much for talking
- in mixed company.
- 633
- 00:40:32,582 --> 00:40:34,317
- Well, we do need
- people there, Floyd.
- 634
- 00:40:34,319 --> 00:40:37,355
- And Carvie asked me
- personally, so...
- 635
- 00:40:38,122 --> 00:40:41,025
- Yeah, I know it, C.P.
- And I'll back you up on it.
- 636
- 00:40:41,759 --> 00:40:45,928
- - But, uh... be careful.
- - Careful of what?
- 637
- 00:40:45,930 --> 00:40:47,665
- - If you wrestle with a pig...
- - [gun cocks]
- 638
- 00:40:48,967 --> 00:40:50,235
- ...you gonna get muddy.
- 639
- 00:40:51,903 --> 00:40:54,804
- [Bill] Meeting these benchmarks
- successfully will depend entirely
- 640
- 00:40:54,806 --> 00:40:58,942
- on the dedication and enthusiasm
- of this steering committee.
- 641
- 00:40:58,944 --> 00:41:01,945
- And, uh, we haven't got
- much time to get organized,
- 642
- 00:41:01,947 --> 00:41:05,017
- so priority one
- will be to get the word out
- 643
- 00:41:05,516 --> 00:41:10,888
- and to recruit as many citizens as
- possible to come and participate.
- 644
- 00:41:12,190 --> 00:41:15,560
- All right,
- before we go any further,
- 645
- 00:41:15,927 --> 00:41:17,962
- we need to elect
- our two co-chairs.
- 646
- 00:41:20,098 --> 00:41:23,168
- I nominate Ann Atwater...
- 647
- 00:41:25,837 --> 00:41:27,505
- and C.P. Ellis.
- 648
- 00:41:32,978 --> 00:41:35,012
- But he's a Klansman.
- 649
- 00:41:35,014 --> 00:41:37,082
- And we're talking
- about integration.
- 650
- 00:41:37,515 --> 00:41:41,551
- Uh, Mr. Riddick, I already done
- told you I won't work with that man.
- 651
- 00:41:41,553 --> 00:41:43,487
- [scoffs]
- That'd be just fine with me.
- 652
- 00:41:43,489 --> 00:41:45,956
- Everybody know it would be
- just fine with you, C.P.
- 653
- 00:41:45,958 --> 00:41:47,724
- Just hold on a minute now,
- Ann.
- 654
- 00:41:47,726 --> 00:41:50,029
- I'd like to hear from C.P.
- on this. Mr. Ellis.
- 655
- 00:41:52,265 --> 00:41:55,532
- Well, I'm not in the habit of interviewing
- for a job that I don't really want.
- 656
- 00:41:55,534 --> 00:41:57,767
- But you're asking,
- so I'll tell you.
- 657
- 00:41:57,769 --> 00:42:00,937
- Everybody talkin' about nigras want
- this, nigras need that.
- 658
- 00:42:00,939 --> 00:42:03,574
- This whole thing started 'cause
- of what nigras are demanding.
- 659
- 00:42:05,377 --> 00:42:09,046
- What about white folks?
- What about what we want?
- 660
- 00:42:09,048 --> 00:42:11,748
- - You already got everything you want.
- - No, we don't.
- 661
- 00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:15,054
- Now the niggers in this town are trying
- to take away everything we got left.
- 662
- 00:42:15,754 --> 00:42:18,290
- They don't want us to play
- "Dixie" at our schools.
- 663
- 00:42:18,891 --> 00:42:20,393
- That's our song.
- 664
- 00:42:21,193 --> 00:42:24,328
- They're angry when we fly the
- Confederate flag at ball games.
- 665
- 00:42:24,330 --> 00:42:28,533
- And why should one of our boys
- have to play ball under that flag?
- 666
- 00:42:28,535 --> 00:42:30,634
- That flag is
- our proud Southern history.
- 667
- 00:42:30,636 --> 00:42:33,204
- It might be your proud
- Southern history, C.P.,
- 668
- 00:42:33,206 --> 00:42:35,039
- but it sure as hell
- ain't ours.
- 669
- 00:42:35,041 --> 00:42:36,042
- [C.P.] All right.
- 670
- 00:42:36,843 --> 00:42:38,910
- Integrated schools have
- "blacks only" assemblies,
- 671
- 00:42:38,912 --> 00:42:41,446
- "blacks only"
- Martin Luther King this, that.
- 672
- 00:42:41,448 --> 00:42:42,713
- That ain't my history.
- 673
- 00:42:42,715 --> 00:42:44,182
- You wanna talk about schools?
- 674
- 00:42:44,184 --> 00:42:46,285
- Let's talk about schools,
- Mr. Riddick.
- 675
- 00:42:47,286 --> 00:42:49,221
- My sons don't have it easy
- in school.
- 676
- 00:42:50,055 --> 00:42:52,189
- Their teachers ain't even
- teachin' them half the time.
- 677
- 00:42:52,191 --> 00:42:54,226
- And you want to throw them
- together with a bunch of nigras?
- 678
- 00:42:54,593 --> 00:42:56,695
- It's only gonna get worse
- for them.
- 679
- 00:42:57,763 --> 00:43:00,400
- You ask why?
- I'm here to protect my boys.
- 680
- 00:43:01,501 --> 00:43:03,869
- So all the better
- if she don't get in my way.
- 681
- 00:43:09,442 --> 00:43:11,010
- I'll sit with you,
- Brother Ellis.
- 682
- 00:43:11,878 --> 00:43:13,746
- [murmuring]
- 683
- 00:43:16,916 --> 00:43:20,452
- Howard, have you lost
- your everlasting mind,
- 684
- 00:43:20,454 --> 00:43:22,120
- callin' that man
- your brother?
- 685
- 00:43:22,122 --> 00:43:23,888
- [Bill] You're offering
- to co-chair, Howard?
- 686
- 00:43:23,890 --> 00:43:25,524
- Uh, I am.
- 687
- 00:43:25,526 --> 00:43:27,692
- And that's an honest man
- right there, Ann.
- 688
- 00:43:27,694 --> 00:43:30,331
- The only honest man
- that's stood up today.
- 689
- 00:43:31,098 --> 00:43:34,067
- He hates me. [chuckles]
- And he told me why.
- 690
- 00:43:35,301 --> 00:43:39,272
- But then he opened up
- his heart about his sons.
- 691
- 00:43:39,671 --> 00:43:41,906
- Why is he agreeing with me?
- 692
- 00:43:41,908 --> 00:43:44,108
- - I don't know.
- - [Howard] That means he's my brother.
- 693
- 00:43:44,110 --> 00:43:45,678
- [whispers] Did that nigger
- just call me brother?
- 694
- 00:43:46,479 --> 00:43:48,514
- [laughs]
- 695
- 00:43:48,516 --> 00:43:49,782
- Y'all hear that?
- 696
- 00:43:51,017 --> 00:43:53,621
- I'll tell you what you are,
- Howard.
- 697
- 00:43:54,421 --> 00:43:56,457
- You one of them
- "big niggers," ain't you?
- 698
- 00:43:57,291 --> 00:44:00,559
- You done went up north
- and got your college degree,
- 699
- 00:44:00,561 --> 00:44:04,031
- your fancy cars,
- and your fancy suits.
- 700
- 00:44:04,664 --> 00:44:06,932
- Meanwhile, we down here on
- the ground gettin' dirty.
- 701
- 00:44:06,934 --> 00:44:09,301
- Now wait a minute, Ann.
- 702
- 00:44:09,303 --> 00:44:12,137
- The Black Solidarity Committee has
- been working within this community...
- 703
- 00:44:12,139 --> 00:44:14,508
- Oh, shut up, Howard!
- You're late to the fight!
- 704
- 00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:19,880
- And you have no idea what
- real black folk go through.
- 705
- 00:44:20,381 --> 00:44:23,850
- You don't deserve a seat.
- He don't deserve that chair, he don't.
- 706
- 00:44:24,385 --> 00:44:26,320
- Callin' that man his brother.
- 707
- 00:44:29,155 --> 00:44:31,358
- So are you saying you'll accept
- now, Miss Atwater?
- 708
- 00:44:36,597 --> 00:44:38,566
- [shutter clicks]

- - [song continues]
- - [indistinct]
- 711
- 00:45:17,905 --> 00:45:21,006
- I'm going to continue to fight
- for us white working men
- 712
- 00:45:21,008 --> 00:45:24,209
- even if I have to sit in a room with
- that awful Ann Atwater to do it.

- 714
- 00:45:26,046 --> 00:45:28,146
- C.P. Ellis don't scare me.
- 715
- 00:45:28,148 --> 00:45:31,149
- We gonna beat school
- segregation once and for all.
- 716
- 00:45:31,151 --> 00:45:33,586
- Well, she's livin'
- in her own fantasy world.
- 717

- Good morning, Mr. Ellis.
- 722
- 00:46:50,465 --> 00:46:52,666
- Co-chair office is
- just around the corner.
- 723
- 00:46:52,668 --> 00:46:53,803
- Thank you.
- 724
- 00:47:16,258 --> 00:47:19,860
- All I'm saying is
- our children are way behind.
- 725
- 00:47:19,862 --> 00:47:21,562
- Almost a full year.
- 726
- 00:47:21,564 --> 00:47:23,698
- [woman] Well,
- just havin' white teachers
- 727
- 00:47:23,700 --> 00:47:25,602
- isn't gonna help them
- catch up.
- 728
- 00:47:26,969 --> 00:47:28,503
- [Ann] White teachers?
- 729
- 00:47:28,505 --> 00:47:30,204
- They already got
- some white teachers.
- 730
- 00:47:30,206 --> 00:47:32,374
- It ain't that.
- It's about the books.
- 731
- 00:47:32,376 --> 00:47:35,041
- Newer books don't account
- for a whole year.
- 732
- 00:47:35,043 --> 00:47:37,313
- Newer ain't got
- nothing to do with it.
- 733
- 00:47:38,012 --> 00:47:40,781
- Baby, what's your name?
- In the red shirt. What's your name?
- 734
- 00:47:40,783 --> 00:47:42,318
- - Miles.
- - [Ann] Miles.
- 735
- 00:47:43,052 --> 00:47:45,219
- What year did you
- just finish, Miles?
- 736
- 00:47:45,221 --> 00:47:46,854
- - My junior year.
- - Mm-hmm.
- 737
- 00:47:46,856 --> 00:47:48,958
- And what year
- were your books for?
- 738
- 00:47:50,326 --> 00:47:52,192
- The textbooks were
- for the tenth-graders, ma'am.
- 739
- 00:47:52,194 --> 00:47:53,260
- [scoffs]
- 740

- [murmuring, applauding]
- 741
- 00:47:56,899 --> 00:47:58,533
- Well, how's that gonna work?
- 742
- 00:47:58,535 --> 00:48:00,668
- How's what gonna work, C.P.?
- 743
- 00:48:00,670 --> 00:48:03,573
- You gonna put a bunch of black
- kids who are a year behind...
- 744
- 00:48:04,441 --> 00:48:05,874
- with white kids who aren't.
- 745
- 00:48:05,876 --> 00:48:07,742
- How you gonna teach
- that class?
- 746
- 00:48:07,744 --> 00:48:10,110
- You can't.
- It just ain't possible.
- 747
- 00:48:10,112 --> 00:48:12,980
- So you go ahead
- and get the right books,
- 748
- 00:48:12,982 --> 00:48:16,520
- but you can't teach
- that class, no way. No way.
- 749
- 00:48:17,053 --> 00:48:18,722
- [murmuring]
- 750
- 00:48:45,582 --> 00:48:47,248
- Okay. So tomorrow,
- 751
- 00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:49,350
- we'll break into
- our smaller groups
- 752
- 00:48:49,352 --> 00:48:51,586
- and begin hammering out the
- different resolution points.
- 753
- 00:48:51,588 --> 00:48:54,622
- But we meet back here
- each night for wrap-up.
- 754
- 00:48:54,624 --> 00:48:57,893
- Also, you've noticed these, uh,
- two tables up here on the stage.
- 755
- 00:48:57,895 --> 00:49:01,262
- Along with Mr. Ellis
- and Miss Atwater,
- 756
- 00:49:01,264 --> 00:49:04,602
- ten more of you will be chosen to fill
- these seats as part of our senate.
- 757
- 00:49:04,968 --> 00:49:07,369
- That senate will vote
- on the resolutions
- 758
- 00:49:07,371 --> 00:49:09,071
- on the final night
- of the charrette.
- 759
- 00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:12,440
- Okay.
- Unless there's anything else,
- 760
- 00:49:12,442 --> 00:49:14,110
- I think we could all use
- some sleep.
- 761
- 00:49:14,945 --> 00:49:16,110
- Yes, Reverend?
- 762
- 00:49:16,112 --> 00:49:17,812
- Mr. Riddick,
- 763
- 00:49:17,814 --> 00:49:19,683
- it's been
- quite a tense day.
- 764
- 00:49:20,417 --> 00:49:26,120
- It may be wise if we have some
- positive note to end each session.
- 765
- 00:49:26,122 --> 00:49:28,089
- Something to lift our spirits.
- 766
- 00:49:28,091 --> 00:49:30,191
- I think that's a good idea,
- Reverend.
- 767
- 00:49:30,193 --> 00:49:31,495
- What did you have in mind?
- 768
- 00:49:31,863 --> 00:49:34,295
- Well, I notice
- we have a piano over here.
- 769
- 00:49:34,297 --> 00:49:37,566
- What if we all sing gospel
- music at the end of each night?
- 770
- 00:49:37,568 --> 00:49:39,303
- - Okay.
- - [man] Nigger music.
- 771
- 00:49:40,271 --> 00:49:42,571
- - [crowd murmurs]
- - What did you say?
- 772
- 00:49:42,573 --> 00:49:45,274
- I believe he said
- that's nigger music.
- 773
- 00:49:45,276 --> 00:49:48,244
- Gospel music don't have nothing
- to do with black or white.
- 774
- 00:49:48,246 --> 00:49:51,480
- - It's about God.
- - Praise God, but he... he's right.
- 775
- 00:49:51,482 --> 00:49:54,350
- Gospel music is absolutely
- for black folk.
- 776
- 00:49:54,352 --> 00:49:56,719
- I'm a bit surprised that
- the reverend would suggest
- 777
- 00:49:56,721 --> 00:49:57,853
- something so one-sided.
- 778
- 00:49:57,855 --> 00:49:59,454
- I'm a little disappointed.
- 779
- 00:49:59,456 --> 00:50:01,024
- [Bill] Okay.
- I can appreciate that, C.P.
- 780
- 00:50:01,391 --> 00:50:03,491
- These people would like
- gospel music.
- 781
- 00:50:03,493 --> 00:50:05,930
- So, uh, how would you like
- to represent your people?
- 782
- 00:50:08,331 --> 00:50:12,001
- Well, I'd like to display our Klan
- materials here at the charrette.
- 783
- 00:50:12,003 --> 00:50:14,705
- [spectators murmuring]
- 784
- 00:50:16,007 --> 00:50:17,141
- Klan materials?
- 785
- 00:50:17,808 --> 00:50:19,043
- Mm-hmm.
- 786
- 00:50:21,445 --> 00:50:24,113
- - It's not the same thing.
- - I know that.
- 787
- 00:50:24,115 --> 00:50:26,415
- We can't let him do it. That stuff's
- full of hate. That's all it is.
- 788
- 00:50:26,417 --> 00:50:28,818
- - He gave on the gospel.
- - I don't give a damn what he gave on.
- 789
- 00:50:28,820 --> 00:50:30,887
- Well, he gave, so we give.
- 790
- 00:50:30,889 --> 00:50:33,823
- Bill Riddick, if that stuff shows up
- here, it's gonna be a riot.
- 791
- 00:50:33,825 --> 00:50:36,392
- And you can bet your ass I'm gonna
- be the one leading the charge.
- 792
- 00:50:36,394 --> 00:50:38,797
- Oh, you gonna get all
- Roughhouse Annie on me now, huh?
- 793
- 00:50:39,297 --> 00:50:42,501
- Yeah, I heard tell about you.
- All talkin' and no listenin'.
- 794
- 00:50:43,167 --> 00:50:46,368
- We're here trying to understand each
- other for once and stop fighting.
- 795
- 00:50:46,370 --> 00:50:49,038
- I'll stop fightin' when there
- ain't nothing left to fight for.
- 796
- 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,442
- Then you gonna be goin' uphill
- the rest of your life, Ann.
- 797
- 00:50:52,476 --> 00:50:55,244
- In the meantime,
- I'm-a keep that man here talkin'
- 798
- 00:50:55,246 --> 00:50:56,982
- as long as I possibly can.
- 799
- 00:50:59,450 --> 00:51:01,419
- - [sighs]
- - [Bill] C.P.
- 800
- 00:51:02,721 --> 00:51:03,755
- C.P.
- 801
- 00:51:06,290 --> 00:51:08,858
- This, um,
- display you want to bring.
- 802
- 00:51:08,860 --> 00:51:10,827
- We're willing to go along
- with it.
- 803
- 00:51:10,829 --> 00:51:12,562
- But there'll be folks not wild
- about the sight of it.
- 804
- 00:51:12,564 --> 00:51:14,764
- So, uh, you're gonna need
- to provide some security,
- 805
- 00:51:14,766 --> 00:51:16,700
- someone to watch over it.
- 806
- 00:51:16,702 --> 00:51:18,203
- - I'm not gonna be responsible for it.
- - [blows]
- 807
- 00:51:21,074 --> 00:51:22,541
- This is my security.
- 808
- 00:51:23,375 --> 00:51:24,978
- That gun
- don't belong here.
- 809
- 00:51:25,677 --> 00:51:29,448
- I like to have it close in case I
- need it to do my talkin' for me.
- 810
- 00:51:30,783 --> 00:51:32,918
- This here does the talkin'
- for me.
- 811
- 00:51:33,150 --> 00:51:36,753
- - I have a Bible.
- - Oh, you do? Have you read it?
- 812
- 00:51:36,755 --> 00:51:38,122
- Course I've read it.
- 813
- 00:51:38,590 --> 00:51:40,957
- - Even go to church on Sundays.
- - [Ann] Hmm.
- 814
- 00:51:40,959 --> 00:51:43,026
- Well, then,
- you ought to know, C.P.
- 815
- 00:51:43,028 --> 00:51:44,062
- Know what?
- 816
- 00:51:44,963 --> 00:51:47,599
- Same God made you, made me.
- 817
- 00:52:09,354 --> 00:52:10,788
- That's everything,
- Mr. Ellis.
- 818
- 00:52:10,790 --> 00:52:12,592
- Looks good, Ben. Real good.
- 819
- 00:52:12,892 --> 00:52:14,494
- Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
- 820
- 00:52:25,604 --> 00:52:27,806
- Divided according to race.
- 821
- 00:52:29,008 --> 00:52:31,243
- Uh, six black, six white.
- 822
- 00:52:31,610 --> 00:52:34,444
- The senate members will float in
- and out of different working groups,
- 823
- 00:52:34,446 --> 00:52:36,281
- observing and participating.
- 824
- 00:52:36,849 --> 00:52:38,783
- On the final night
- of the charrette,
- 825
- 00:52:38,785 --> 00:52:40,951
- you will vote
- to either adopt or reject
- 826
- 00:52:40,953 --> 00:52:42,620
- the resolutions
- presented to you.
- 827
- 00:52:42,622 --> 00:52:44,356
- So, we're the final word?
- 828
- 00:52:44,624 --> 00:52:46,189
- Final word, Howard.
- 829
- 00:52:46,191 --> 00:52:48,494
- Two-thirds majority
- to pass each resolution.
- 830
- 00:52:50,263 --> 00:52:51,698
- Eight votes to pass?
- 831
- 00:52:52,832 --> 00:52:55,599
- Then we should be able to handpick
- the other four white members.
- 832
- 00:52:55,601 --> 00:52:57,768
- Well, then, we might as well
- go on home then.
- 833
- 00:52:57,770 --> 00:52:59,403
- C.P.,
- that's not practical.
- 834
- 00:52:59,405 --> 00:53:00,840
- We need to be
- as fair as possible.
- 835
- 00:53:01,141 --> 00:53:03,741
- I'm gonna have to side
- with my friend here.
- 836
- 00:53:03,743 --> 00:53:06,178
- I mean,
- we can surely all agree
- 837
- 00:53:06,180 --> 00:53:08,146
- that every Negro
- in the building
- 838
- 00:53:08,148 --> 00:53:10,014
- is gonna vote yes
- on school integration.
- 839
- 00:53:10,016 --> 00:53:12,149
- That's six automatic votes,
- no matter what.
- 840
- 00:53:12,151 --> 00:53:14,151
- Same's not true
- for every last white person.
- 841
- 00:53:14,153 --> 00:53:16,321
- There's a bunch of liberals
- sittin' out there right now.
- 842
- 00:53:18,291 --> 00:53:22,194
- Look, there are four prominent
- organizations represented
- 843
- 00:53:22,196 --> 00:53:23,994
- in this room, right here.
- 844
- 00:53:23,996 --> 00:53:26,464
- The Klan,
- The White Citizens' Council,
- 845
- 00:53:26,466 --> 00:53:28,868
- Black Solidarity Committee,
- and Operation Breakthrough.
- 846
- 00:53:29,635 --> 00:53:30,938
- You each get your votes.
- 847
- 00:53:31,370 --> 00:53:32,538
- You want fair?
- 848
- 00:53:32,906 --> 00:53:34,808
- We'll pick
- eight regular members.
- 849
- 00:53:35,209 --> 00:53:38,611
- Regular. No black power people, no Klan.
- They're excluded.
- 850
- 00:53:39,747 --> 00:53:40,781
- Agreed?
- 851
- 00:53:45,085 --> 00:53:46,918
- - None of her people?
- - [Bill] No.
- 852
- 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,422
- And none of y'all.
- 853
- 00:54:04,704 --> 00:54:05,738
- Hey!
- 854
- 00:54:06,372 --> 00:54:08,608
- What do you think
- you doing, huh?
- 855
- 00:54:10,878 --> 00:54:12,744
- Leave that alone.
- 856
- 00:54:12,746 --> 00:54:15,281
- Boys need to be reading this
- instead of ripping it up.
- 857
- 00:54:16,083 --> 00:54:20,754
- The Klan is givin' you
- a window to look through.
- 858
- 00:54:23,190 --> 00:54:25,224
- You need to read this stuff
- and understand it.
- 859
- 00:54:25,226 --> 00:54:26,693
- That way,
- you understand them.
- 860
- 00:54:27,027 --> 00:54:30,562
- Okay? You got the upper hand.
- Got it?
- 861
- 00:54:30,564 --> 00:54:32,934
- Get on outta here, Charles.
- Give me that.
- 862
- 00:54:33,734 --> 00:54:35,937
- Should tell your daddy.
- You know better.
- 863
- 00:54:37,806 --> 00:54:39,040
- [exhales]
- 864
- 00:54:44,145 --> 00:54:45,879
- Kids don't make no sense...
- 865
- 00:55:17,111 --> 00:55:21,080
- "...professional experts from in
- the community and from outside
- 866
- 00:55:21,082 --> 00:55:23,983
- will stand by
- listening, learning."
- 867
- 00:55:23,985 --> 00:55:26,154
- [continues reading,
- indistinct]
- 868
- 00:55:50,945 --> 00:55:52,612
- - Ann? Ann?
- - What?
- 869
- 00:55:52,614 --> 00:55:54,649
- - Where are you going?
- - I'm going home.
- 870
- 00:55:55,450 --> 00:55:57,183
- Look,
- I know you're upset, Ann.
- 871
- 00:55:57,185 --> 00:55:58,718
- You don't know nothing!
- 872
- 00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:00,320
- I told you
- it was a damn fool idea
- 873
- 00:56:00,322 --> 00:56:02,289
- to let that man
- bring that stuff in here.
- 874
- 00:56:02,291 --> 00:56:04,059
- Ain't no good
- gonna come from it!
- 875
- 00:56:04,459 --> 00:56:06,728
- And I'll tell you
- something else, Bill Riddick.
- 876
- 00:56:07,329 --> 00:56:08,761
- You an even bigger fool
- 877
- 00:56:08,763 --> 00:56:10,396
- if you think you gonna make
- any change
- 878
- 00:56:10,398 --> 00:56:11,865
- with this here meeting.
- 879
- 00:56:11,867 --> 00:56:13,202
- - Is that right?
- - That's right.
- 880
- 00:56:13,769 --> 00:56:16,236
- 'Cause as long as
- the C.P. Ellises of the world
- 881
- 00:56:16,238 --> 00:56:17,571
- keep gettin' their way,
- 882
- 00:56:17,573 --> 00:56:19,072
- ain't nothing gonna change.
- 883
- 00:56:19,074 --> 00:56:21,376
- Yeah, you talk about
- Roughhouse Annie?
- 884
- 00:56:22,343 --> 00:56:25,177
- Keep Uncle Tommin'
- that cracker
- 885
- 00:56:25,179 --> 00:56:27,349
- and you gonna see
- Roughhouse Annie.
- 886
- 00:56:28,416 --> 00:56:31,419
- Go on back up north where you belong,
- 'cause you don't know nothing.
- 887
- 00:57:04,753 --> 00:57:05,955
- Marion Wilson.
- 888
- 00:57:13,661 --> 00:57:15,798
- Okay. The other bowl now.
- 889
- 00:57:18,834 --> 00:57:19,868
- [Garland] Sam Watford.
- 890
- 00:57:21,570 --> 00:57:23,472
- - Is that Scooter Watford's boy?
- - [Horace] Yeah.
- 891
- 00:57:24,974 --> 00:57:26,575
- You won't have
- a problem there.
- 892
- 00:57:27,309 --> 00:57:28,911
- - [C.P.] You sure?
- - Pretty sure.
- 893
- 00:57:29,279 --> 00:57:32,045
- I remember he kept losin' jobs
- during them boycotts.
- 894
- 00:57:32,047 --> 00:57:33,416
- Still pretty sore about it.
- 895
- 00:57:34,451 --> 00:57:36,752
- I don't like that mustache,
- tell you what.
- 896
- 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,055
- All right. Earl Weeks.
- 897
- 00:57:39,389 --> 00:57:41,122
- [laughs]
- 898
- 00:57:41,124 --> 00:57:42,491
- He's... He's with us.
- 899
- 00:57:42,758 --> 00:57:44,027
- [Garland] How do you know?
- 900
- 00:57:44,828 --> 00:57:46,963
- He been a deacon at my church
- since I was a kid.
- 901
- 00:57:47,464 --> 00:57:48,732
- He don't like nobody.
- 902
- 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,468
- - That's a good man.
- - Two for two.
- 903
- 00:57:53,470 --> 00:57:57,104
- Okay, we gonna have an issue
- with this gal Maddy Mays.
- 904
- 00:57:57,106 --> 00:57:58,772
- The blonde over by the window.
- 905
- 00:57:58,774 --> 00:58:00,140
- [Garland]
- Yeah, she's a nurse.
- 906
- 00:58:00,142 --> 00:58:01,643
- [C.P.]
- Yeah, over at Durham Clinic.
- 907
- 00:58:02,111 --> 00:58:04,680
- Real "people person." I think
- that's one to worry about.
- 908
- 00:58:06,416 --> 00:58:07,914
- Last is Lee Trombley.
- 909
- 00:58:07,916 --> 00:58:10,318
- [groans]
- Trombley Hardware.
- 910
- 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:11,421
- Off of Route Nine.
- 911
- 00:58:12,355 --> 00:58:14,222
- - What do we know?
- - [sighs]
- 912
- 00:58:14,224 --> 00:58:15,825
- I don't know 'bout him, C.P.
- 913
- 00:58:16,793 --> 00:58:17,894
- Might be a problem there.
- 914
- 00:58:18,828 --> 00:58:20,897
- He took over
- after his daddy passed.
- 915
- 00:58:21,798 --> 00:58:24,234
- Family man, two kids, I think.
- 916
- 00:58:24,567 --> 00:58:25,835
- [C.P.] And?
- 917
- 00:58:26,703 --> 00:58:28,936
- [Horace] Everybody that
- works for him is a nigger.
- 918
- 00:58:28,938 --> 00:58:29,973
- Every one.
- 919
- 00:58:30,474 --> 00:58:32,510
- And they all thick as thieves.
- 920
- 00:58:34,110 --> 00:58:36,778
- [taps notebook]
- 921
- 00:58:36,780 --> 00:58:40,051
- All right, I guess it's time we
- get acquainted with Lee Trombley.
- 922
- 00:59:01,805 --> 00:59:02,906
- Can I help you, sir?
- 923
- 00:59:03,973 --> 00:59:06,243
- Uh... Lee around?
- 924
- 00:59:06,576 --> 00:59:09,244
- No, sir. He's not here right now.
- But I'm the manager.
- 925
- 00:59:09,246 --> 00:59:10,548
- Something I can help you with?
- 926
- 00:59:13,184 --> 00:59:14,552
- Uh, no. Um...
- 927
- 00:59:15,386 --> 00:59:16,987
- I'll come back another time.
- 928
- 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,093
- [door opens]
- 929
- 00:59:24,095 --> 00:59:26,730
- - [thunder rumbles]
- - [rain pattering]
- 930
- 00:59:28,467 --> 00:59:29,534
- Okay.
- 931
- 00:59:30,034 --> 00:59:32,735
- Any thoughts, uh, insights?
- 932
- 00:59:33,703 --> 00:59:35,406
- You don't have to
- raise your hand, Maddy.
- 933
- 00:59:35,705 --> 00:59:38,108
- I think it's nice to see
- people talking for once.
- 934
- 00:59:38,542 --> 00:59:40,411
- That ain't talkin'.
- It's yellin'.
- 935
- 00:59:40,777 --> 00:59:42,677
- Well, okay. It's arguing.
- 936
- 00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:45,981
- But people are listening to one another.
- They really are.
- 937
- 00:59:45,983 --> 00:59:49,750
- [Sam] They're arguing.
- I've been listening to it for days,
- 938
- 00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:52,788
- and still no one's answered how
- integration's gonna help my kids.
- 939
- 00:59:52,790 --> 00:59:55,958
- - It sure can't hurt 'em.
- - It sure as hell can.
- 940
- 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,961
- - I'd like to know how.
- - Well, for one,
- 941
- 00:59:58,963 --> 01:00:01,932
- I don't want my daughter sitting
- next to a Negro boy in class.
- 942
- 01:00:02,366 --> 01:00:04,099
- I don't want her
- eatin' next to one,
- 943
- 01:00:04,101 --> 01:00:06,269
- and don't want her being
- at a school dance with one.
- 944
- 01:00:06,271 --> 01:00:08,607
- So, you care
- about your daughter?
- 945
- 01:00:09,740 --> 01:00:11,640
- And you don't want
- to see her get hurt.
- 946
- 01:00:11,642 --> 01:00:13,309
- What's your point?
- 947
- 01:00:13,311 --> 01:00:17,282
- My point is that is
- what we do as parents.
- 948
- 01:00:18,283 --> 01:00:22,184
- When they're little, we try to
- keep them from touching the stove
- 949
- 01:00:22,186 --> 01:00:23,387
- so they don't burn.
- 950
- 01:00:24,321 --> 01:00:27,558
- We teach them to take small
- bites so they don't choke.
- 951
- 01:00:28,359 --> 01:00:30,993
- We worry about
- their first day at school,
- 952
- 01:00:30,995 --> 01:00:32,495
- the first time
- they drive a car,
- 953
- 01:00:32,497 --> 01:00:34,263
- their very first job.
- 954
- 01:00:34,265 --> 01:00:39,067
- See, we want them to avoid
- the pain that we experienced.
- 955
- 01:00:39,069 --> 01:00:41,038
- [chuckles]
- All right. All right.
- 956
- 01:00:41,339 --> 01:00:43,939
- We all gonna sit around,
- hold hands, sing "Kumbaya"?
- 957
- 01:00:43,941 --> 01:00:46,842
- - We see what you're doing, Howard.
- - And what is that, C.P.?
- 958
- 01:00:46,844 --> 01:00:49,179
- That there's no difference
- between blacks and whites, right?
- 959
- 01:00:49,181 --> 01:00:51,814
- 'Cause we all worry
- about our kids.
- 960
- 01:00:51,816 --> 01:00:53,650
- We're all the same, right?
- 961
- 01:00:53,652 --> 01:00:58,555
- Actually, no, C.P. We're not.
- 962
- 01:00:58,557 --> 01:01:00,425
- See, I left some things out.
- 963
- 01:01:01,159 --> 01:01:03,693
- I left out
- that black folks have
- 964
- 01:01:03,695 --> 01:01:06,698
- a whole different menu of pain
- to worry about.
- 965
- 01:01:07,832 --> 01:01:10,669
- Our kids get spit on
- for no reason.
- 966
- 01:01:11,503 --> 01:01:16,374
- Our kids have to move on the
- sidewalk to let white folks pass,
- 967
- 01:01:17,008 --> 01:01:18,343
- or they get beat.
- 968
- 01:01:19,411 --> 01:01:21,779
- Our kids aren't allowed
- to sit where they want,
- 969
- 01:01:22,214 --> 01:01:25,684
- play where they want,
- go to school where they want.
- 970
- 01:01:26,818 --> 01:01:31,187
- See, this is the pain
- they experience every day
- 971
- 01:01:31,189 --> 01:01:34,759
- that we, we can't...
- can't spare them from.
- 972
- 01:01:36,462 --> 01:01:39,164
- And that is a...
- 973
- 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,901
- It's a helpless feeling.
- 974
- 01:01:44,503 --> 01:01:47,540
- A more helpless feeling
- than you could ever know.
- 975
- 01:01:57,015 --> 01:01:59,349
- - I fell right into that one.
- - Yeah.
- 976
- 01:01:59,351 --> 01:02:01,953
- - Shit. You see Trombley's face?
- - Yeah.
- 977
- 01:02:02,688 --> 01:02:05,888
- - Did you get anywhere with Trombley last night?
- - He wasn't there.
- 978
- 01:02:05,890 --> 01:02:08,226
- They were right, though.
- He got a black manager.
- 979
- 01:02:08,893 --> 01:02:10,762
- Well, where we gonna
- get him, then?
- 980
- 01:02:11,196 --> 01:02:13,330
- Right now.
- We gonna crowd him at lunch.
- 981
- 01:02:13,332 --> 01:02:14,764
- Mmm.
- 982
- 01:02:14,766 --> 01:02:16,736
- [Bill] Okay.
- Everybody listen up.
- 983
- 01:02:17,902 --> 01:02:19,771
- We're going to be trying
- something different today.
- 984
- 01:02:20,172 --> 01:02:23,142
- There are name cards at
- each seat in this lunchroom.
- 985
- 01:02:23,542 --> 01:02:26,210
- This will be your seat
- for the rest of the charrette.
- 986
- 01:02:26,212 --> 01:02:28,281
- You may not move
- your name card.
- 987
- 01:02:29,282 --> 01:02:31,782
- And you guessed it,
- the person sitting next to you
- 988
- 01:02:31,784 --> 01:02:33,484
- will not be
- the same color as you.
- 989
- 01:02:33,486 --> 01:02:35,219
- - What?
- - And...
- 990
- 01:02:35,221 --> 01:02:39,056
- And no discussion of issues
- during this hour.
- 991
- 01:02:39,058 --> 01:02:40,293
- Talk about something else.
- 992
- 01:03:18,165 --> 01:03:20,767
- [no audible dialogue]
- 993
- 01:03:28,642 --> 01:03:31,078
- [Ann singing softly]
- 994
- 01:03:37,116 --> 01:03:38,485
- [Ann clears throat]
- 995
- 01:04:06,714 --> 01:04:08,246
- I just can't do it. Mm-mm.
- 996
- 01:04:08,248 --> 01:04:10,818
- Mm-mm! Mm-mm-mm.
- 997
- 01:04:12,018 --> 01:04:14,087
- These fish sticks is dry.
- 998
- 01:04:20,627 --> 01:04:22,095
- Well... Hmm.
- 999
- 01:04:22,829 --> 01:04:24,765
- If we can't change
- anything else,
- 1000
- 01:04:25,165 --> 01:04:27,634
- we can sure demand
- better school lunches, huh?
- 1001
- 01:04:28,201 --> 01:04:30,103
- We're not supposed to
- talk about issues.
- 1002
- 01:04:32,072 --> 01:04:33,473
- I guess you're right.
- 1003
- 01:04:40,213 --> 01:04:41,248
- Howard...
- 1004
- 01:04:42,048 --> 01:04:44,050
- Howard was wrong in there,
- weren't he?
- 1005
- 01:04:44,752 --> 01:04:46,587
- - Wrong?
- - Mm-hmm.
- 1006
- 01:04:48,256 --> 01:04:52,924
- Well, I mean, he weren't wrong
- about what black kids go through.
- 1007
- 01:04:52,926 --> 01:04:53,960
- But...
- 1008
- 01:04:55,430 --> 01:05:00,301
- He was wrong about you not knowing
- what helpless is, weren't he?
- 1009
- 01:05:03,772 --> 01:05:04,972
- What does that mean?
- 1010
- 01:05:09,142 --> 01:05:11,478
- You got a boy out at Murdock,
- don't you, C.P.?
- 1011
- 01:05:11,913 --> 01:05:13,913
- - I don't wanna talk about that.
- - I'm just trying...
- 1012
- 01:05:13,915 --> 01:05:16,584
- Ann, don't talk about my son.
- 1013
- 01:05:18,218 --> 01:05:20,455
- - Don't ever talk about my son.
- - Okay.
- 1014
- 01:05:28,162 --> 01:05:31,265
- - [guitar plays]
- - [man humming]
- 1015
- 01:05:38,774 --> 01:05:40,975
- [man singing country folk]
- 1016
- 01:05:47,583 --> 01:05:49,916
- We're willing to go
- to summer school,
- 1017
- 01:05:49,918 --> 01:05:52,151
- even nights, just to catch
- up with the white students.
- 1018
- 01:05:52,153 --> 01:05:55,290
- Good Lord never intended for
- blacks to have equal rights.
- 1019
- 01:06:11,339 --> 01:06:13,809
- [song continues]
- 1020
- 01:07:05,594 --> 01:07:07,596
- [song ends]
- 1021
- 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,768
- - Daddy!
- - What's wrong? What's wrong, sugar?
- 1022
- 01:07:13,770 --> 01:07:14,804
- It's Larry.
- 1023
- 01:07:25,848 --> 01:07:28,649
- - [boy screaming]
- - What's goin' on?
- 1024
- 01:07:28,651 --> 01:07:31,218
- - Who is this?
- - [nurse] Alvin. He moved in Friday.
- 1025
- 01:07:31,220 --> 01:07:34,021
- Hey, hey.
- Shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh.
- 1026
- 01:07:34,023 --> 01:07:36,189
- [screaming continues]
- 1027
- 01:07:36,191 --> 01:07:38,427
- - Hey, pumpkin.
- - [grunting]
- 1028
- 01:07:39,595 --> 01:07:41,428
- - [C.P.] Go! It's okay.
- - [nurse] It's okay.
- 1029
- 01:07:41,430 --> 01:07:43,798
- [C.P.] No monster.
- No monster, son. No monster.
- 1030
- 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,432
- I got your book.
- I'm gonna read...
- 1031
- 01:07:45,434 --> 01:07:47,100
- Shh, shh, shh.
- Shh, shh, shh.
- 1032
- 01:07:47,102 --> 01:07:48,236
- [girl] It's Vickie.
- 1033
- 01:07:48,538 --> 01:07:50,236
- - Read to him.
- - Okay.
- 1034
- 01:07:50,238 --> 01:07:52,673
- - Come here, pumpkin.
- - I'll be right back.
- 1035
- 01:07:52,675 --> 01:07:55,378
- - Vickie's gonna read to you.
- - It's your sister, Vickie.
- 1036
- 01:07:55,945 --> 01:07:57,145
- Get him out.
- 1037
- 01:08:00,850 --> 01:08:03,718
- - Hey, who's in charge here?
- - Can I help you, Mr. Ellis?
- 1038
- 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,886
- No. Is there someone else
- I can talk to?
- 1039
- 01:08:05,888 --> 01:08:07,121
- One moment.
- 1040
- 01:08:07,123 --> 01:08:08,157
- Hey.
- 1041
- 01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:11,994
- [bell dinging]
- 1042
- 01:08:11,996 --> 01:08:13,628
- Hey.
- 1043
- 01:08:13,630 --> 01:08:14,930
- - [nurse] I'll be right there.
- - I need help.
- 1044
- 01:08:14,932 --> 01:08:16,564
- - No, sir. No, sir.
- - I need help.
- 1045
- 01:08:16,566 --> 01:08:18,232
- - My son needs help.
- - Step outside that door.
- 1046
- 01:08:18,234 --> 01:08:20,101
- - I need to get my son out of that room.
- - Yes, sir.
- 1047
- 01:08:20,103 --> 01:08:22,235
- Step outside for a moment.
- 1048
- 01:08:22,237 --> 01:08:24,572
- - Now calm it down.
- - I need to get my son out of that room.
- 1049
- 01:08:24,574 --> 01:08:26,741
- - Your son is gonna be just fine.
- - He's scared.
- 1050
- 01:08:26,743 --> 01:08:28,244
- He's not fine.
- He needs to be moved.
- 1051
- 01:08:28,478 --> 01:08:30,411
- Right away.
- Or that other one needs to be moved.
- 1052
- 01:08:30,413 --> 01:08:32,713
- - My son's scared.
- - Look. Look.
- 1053
- 01:08:32,715 --> 01:08:35,349
- It's important that our patients
- stay in familiar surroundings.
- 1054
- 01:08:35,351 --> 01:08:38,252
- 'Cause if they're moved
- too often, they get agitated...
- 1055
- 01:08:38,254 --> 01:08:40,022
- A private room then.
- [stammers]
- 1056
- 01:08:40,024 --> 01:08:41,790
- Give Larry a private room,
- please.
- 1057
- 01:08:41,792 --> 01:08:43,357
- We have regulations
- here at Murdock.
- 1058
- 01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:45,626
- I don't care
- about your regulations.
- 1059
- 01:08:45,628 --> 01:08:48,864
- - Now you move him, or I will. How's that?
- - No, you will not.
- 1060
- 01:08:48,866 --> 01:08:52,868
- Mr. Ellis!
- Call security right now.
- 1061
- 01:08:52,870 --> 01:08:54,972
- You calm yourself down.
- 1062
- 01:08:57,675 --> 01:08:59,206
- [exhales]
- 1063
- 01:08:59,208 --> 01:09:00,210
- God...
- 1064
- 01:09:01,011 --> 01:09:02,846
- How much...
- How much is it again?
- 1065
- 01:09:03,213 --> 01:09:07,315
- A private room is $75 more
- per week.
- 1066
- 01:09:07,317 --> 01:09:09,019
- Now do you wanna pay for that?
- 1067
- 01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:11,786
- I got 16.
- 1068
- 01:09:11,788 --> 01:09:13,857
- Mr. Ellis.
- Listen to me.
- 1069
- 01:09:14,524 --> 01:09:17,627
- Larry will get used to it,
- all right?
- 1070
- 01:09:22,432 --> 01:09:25,834
- You shoulda told me. No one told
- me that boy would be in this room.
- 1071
- 01:09:25,836 --> 01:09:27,102
- - It was...
- - No one told me.
- 1072
- 01:09:27,104 --> 01:09:28,637
- It was a last minute...
- 1073
- 01:09:28,639 --> 01:09:29,840
- You shoulda told me.
- [slaps counter]
- 1074
- 01:09:35,979 --> 01:09:38,382
- [man speaking, indistinct]
- 1075
- 01:10:09,580 --> 01:10:11,513
- [C.P.] You know,
- I'm tryin' to tell you now.
- 1076
- 01:10:11,515 --> 01:10:14,050
- His roommate was wailin'
- and screamin' and...
- 1077
- 01:10:14,052 --> 01:10:15,686
- But they wouldn't
- let me move him.
- 1078
- 01:10:18,857 --> 01:10:20,290
- I wanna take him home.
- 1079
- 01:10:22,026 --> 01:10:23,595
- He's better off with us.
- 1080
- 01:10:26,097 --> 01:10:27,732
- He don't belong there.
- 1081
- 01:10:28,099 --> 01:10:29,567
- He ain't like them others.
- 1082
- 01:10:31,369 --> 01:10:33,538
- Yes, Claiborne, he is.
- 1083
- 01:10:37,109 --> 01:10:39,844
- I'm seeing him tomorrow.
- I'm sure he's fine.
- 1084
- 01:10:41,279 --> 01:10:42,445
- You okay?
- 1085
- 01:10:42,447 --> 01:10:43,948
- Yeah, I'm just tired.
- 1086
- 01:10:46,151 --> 01:10:48,086
- I'll see you at home.
- I love you.
- 1087
- 01:10:56,227 --> 01:10:58,630
- [people chattering]
- 1088
- 01:11:15,814 --> 01:11:18,284
- [people singing gospel,
- muffled]

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

- [woman on P.A., indistinct]
- 1093
- 01:13:25,412 --> 01:13:26,645
- Can I help you?
- 1094
- 01:13:27,247 --> 01:13:29,249
- You can't,
- but Bernadette can.
- 1095
- 01:13:30,583 --> 01:13:32,252
- - One moment.
- - Thank you.
- 1096
- 01:13:38,091 --> 01:13:40,591
- - Miss Atwater!
- - [chuckles]
- 1097
- 01:13:40,593 --> 01:13:45,431
- Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
- How have you been?
- 1098
- 01:13:45,433 --> 01:13:48,400
- Oh, baby, I've been good.
- How about yourself?
- 1099
- 01:13:48,402 --> 01:13:50,568
- I'm fine. I'm just fine.
- 1100
- 01:13:50,570 --> 01:13:52,340
- Well,
- what can I help you with?
- 1101
- 01:13:54,442 --> 01:13:56,443
- Where's that Larry Ellis boy?
- 1102
- 01:13:57,643 --> 01:14:00,814
- [Alvin murmuring]
- 1103
- 01:14:07,487 --> 01:14:08,521
- Bernadette.
- 1104
- 01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:12,058
- - Yes, Miss Atwater?
- - I'm gonna need a favor.
- 1105
- 01:14:13,493 --> 01:14:15,960
- - But that's not fair.
- - I know it's not fair, honey.
- 1106
- 01:14:15,962 --> 01:14:18,063
- But I went back and looked.
- Not even half of them are done yet.
- 1107
- 01:14:18,065 --> 01:14:19,697
- But she never does
- any of her charts.
- 1108
- 01:14:19,699 --> 01:14:21,766
- She always expects us
- to do them for her.
- 1109
- 01:14:21,768 --> 01:14:24,472
- You and I have to go over all her
- work, or it's gonna be on us.
- 1110
- 01:14:29,744 --> 01:14:32,046
- [Alvin humming]
- 1111
- 01:14:33,781 --> 01:14:34,815
- Hello?
- 1112
- 01:14:36,650 --> 01:14:37,685
- Hello?
- 1113
- 01:14:38,085 --> 01:14:40,085
- Where's Larry? Where's my son?
- 1114
- 01:14:40,087 --> 01:14:41,289
- He's not in his room.
- What happened?
- 1115
- 01:14:41,522 --> 01:14:43,392
- Nothing happened, Miss Ellis.
- 1116
- 01:14:43,823 --> 01:14:45,158
- He was moved.
- 1117
- 01:14:47,495 --> 01:14:49,896
- [radio: woman singing ballad]
- 1118
- 01:14:52,565 --> 01:14:53,733
- It's so nice.
- 1119
- 01:14:57,371 --> 01:14:58,406
- Hey, baby.
- 1120
- 01:14:59,073 --> 01:15:00,374
- It's your mama.
- 1121
- 01:15:02,209 --> 01:15:03,744
- Hey, baby, it's your mama.
- 1122
- 01:15:04,011 --> 01:15:05,546
- - Hi.
- - Hi.
- 1123
- 01:15:06,881 --> 01:15:08,416
- Let's put on some music.
- 1124
- 01:15:09,418 --> 01:15:12,354
- [volume increases]
- 1125
- 01:15:18,993 --> 01:15:21,627
- [song fades]
- 1126
- 01:15:21,629 --> 01:15:22,663
- What?
- 1127
- 01:15:24,565 --> 01:15:27,035
- No, no, it's good. It's...
- 1128
- 01:15:29,004 --> 01:15:30,338
- It's just, uh...
- 1129
- 01:15:33,874 --> 01:15:35,443
- All right,
- I'll see you at home.
- 1130
- 01:15:48,256 --> 01:15:50,925
- - I want to talk to you.
- - Finally.
- 1131
- 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:52,960
- Look. What you, uh...
- 1132
- 01:15:54,595 --> 01:15:56,965
- [sighs] I didn't... I...
- 1133
- 01:16:00,168 --> 01:16:02,068
- I didn't ask for your help.
- 1134
- 01:16:02,070 --> 01:16:04,270
- I can take care of
- my own family, okay?
- 1135
- 01:16:04,272 --> 01:16:05,872
- - Okay.
- - Okay.
- 1136
- 01:16:05,874 --> 01:16:07,774
- Okay.
- It's just what I do, C.P.
- 1137
- 01:16:07,776 --> 01:16:10,877
- Well, whatever is you do,
- don't do it for me.
- 1138
- 01:16:10,879 --> 01:16:12,247
- I didn't do it for you.
- 1139
- 01:16:18,787 --> 01:16:20,020
- [sighs]
- 1140
- 01:16:24,526 --> 01:16:26,926
- - Strike one!
- - Yeah, Chester, bring the heat!
- 1141
- 01:16:26,928 --> 01:16:29,064
- All right, shut your hole.
- That ain't helping.
- 1142
- 01:16:31,699 --> 01:16:35,737
- Don't pay him no mind, boy.
- He ain't goin' nowhere with two outs.
- 1143
- 01:16:36,805 --> 01:16:38,406
- They'll hold 'em.
- Be all right.
- 1144
- 01:16:48,884 --> 01:16:50,186
- [bottle opens]
- 1145
- 01:16:52,121 --> 01:16:53,156
- I'll be right back.

- - [bat hits ball]
- - [cheering]
- 1147
- 01:17:01,497 --> 01:17:03,166
- - Your boy playing today?
- - Oh.
- 1148
- 01:17:03,966 --> 01:17:05,034
- Mr. Ellis.
- 1149
- 01:17:05,768 --> 01:17:07,969
- Uh, no. My nephew.
- 1150
- 01:17:08,370 --> 01:17:10,203
- You can call me C.P.
- You want a beer?
- 1151
- 01:17:10,205 --> 01:17:11,437
- Oh. Thanks.
- 1152
- 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:12,707
- [umpire] Strike!
- 1153
- 01:17:15,343 --> 01:17:17,580
- So, how do you think
- it's going? The charrette.
- 1154
- 01:17:19,014 --> 01:17:20,349
- Um...
- 1155
- 01:17:21,049 --> 01:17:22,050
- It's interesting.
- 1156
- 01:17:23,319 --> 01:17:25,188
- It's nice to hear
- both sides, you know.
- 1157
- 01:17:25,488 --> 01:17:26,988
- Yeah. Yeah.
- 1158
- 01:17:28,790 --> 01:17:30,660
- We got some decisions to make.
- 1159
- 01:17:31,494 --> 01:17:33,093
- [umpire]
- Strike three! You're out!
- 1160
- 01:17:33,095 --> 01:17:34,997
- [scattered cheering]
- 1161
- 01:17:35,697 --> 01:17:37,967
- Say, that nigger fella?
- The one that comes, uh...
- 1162
- 01:17:40,503 --> 01:17:42,071
- He runs your hardware store?
- 1163
- 01:17:42,438 --> 01:17:44,641
- Yeah. 'Bout two years now.
- 1164
- 01:17:45,007 --> 01:17:46,108
- His name's Emmett.
- 1165
- 01:17:47,043 --> 01:17:49,845
- And you trust him to...
- to run things?
- 1166
- 01:17:53,450 --> 01:17:55,549
- Sorry, I-I'm just curious.
- 1167
- 01:17:55,551 --> 01:17:59,422
- I don't think I could trust one
- of them to run my filling station.
- 1168
- 01:18:00,223 --> 01:18:02,724
- Other than my wife,
- he's the only person I trust.
- 1169
- 01:18:03,392 --> 01:18:04,525
- How's that?
- 1170
- 01:18:04,527 --> 01:18:06,562
- Well, he and I, we...
- 1171
- 01:18:08,831 --> 01:18:10,433
- We were in Vietnam together.
- 1172
- 01:18:12,235 --> 01:18:14,538
- - Oh. You were in Vietnam?
- - Yeah.
- 1173
- 01:18:14,904 --> 01:18:17,373
- Two tours. Got out in '68.
- 1174
- 01:18:17,873 --> 01:18:18,941
- You?
- 1175
- 01:18:19,543 --> 01:18:21,143
- No. No, I...
- 1176
- 01:18:23,547 --> 01:18:24,648
- No.
- 1177
- 01:18:26,683 --> 01:18:27,750
- Yeah.
- 1178
- 01:18:28,719 --> 01:18:30,884
- Well, look, Mr. Ellis,
- I know who you are.
- 1179
- 01:18:30,886 --> 01:18:32,387
- And I know
- what you want from me.
- 1180
- 01:18:32,389 --> 01:18:34,322
- - But I just don't...
- - No, no, Lee.
- 1181
- 01:18:34,324 --> 01:18:36,324
- Any man who served bravely
- in this country's military
- 1182
- 01:18:36,326 --> 01:18:38,395
- doesn't need to hear
- anything more from me.
- 1183
- 01:18:39,096 --> 01:18:40,631
- You vote how you want to.
- 1184
- 01:18:41,398 --> 01:18:42,466
- I'll respect it.
- 1185
- 01:18:46,035 --> 01:18:47,069
- Mr. Ellis?
- 1186
- 01:18:49,038 --> 01:18:50,707
- Emmett served
- this country, too.
- 1187
- 01:18:52,342 --> 01:18:54,645
- And he was a lot braver
- than me.
- 1188
- 01:18:58,115 --> 01:18:59,149
- [bat hits ball]
- 1189
- 01:18:59,750 --> 01:19:01,752
- [scattered cheering]
- 1190
- 01:19:09,926 --> 01:19:12,494
- All right, folks.
- For our last day,
- 1191
- 01:19:12,496 --> 01:19:14,162
- I thought we'd go
- on a little field trip.
- 1192
- 01:19:14,164 --> 01:19:16,732
- - Where to?
- - You gotta vote Monday night.
- 1193
- 01:19:16,734 --> 01:19:19,100
- I think it's important
- we get a firsthand look
- 1194
- 01:19:19,102 --> 01:19:20,937
- at what we've been talkin'
- about the past few weeks.
- 1195
- 01:19:44,762 --> 01:19:47,297
- [Bill] I know it's been a long
- day, but this is the last one.
- 1196
- 01:19:48,599 --> 01:19:50,668
- Please be careful.
- Watch your step.
- 1197
- 01:19:51,068 --> 01:19:54,572
- [Ann] Ain't no better over here.
- It's a mess.
- 1198
- 01:19:54,971 --> 01:19:57,473
- They gotta keep the doors open
- because of the smell.
- 1199
- 01:19:57,475 --> 01:19:59,475
- - I imagine so.
- - It helps.
- 1200
- 01:19:59,477 --> 01:20:01,512
- [children chattering]
- 1201
- 01:20:03,981 --> 01:20:05,815
- Lot of kids
- for summer school.
- 1202
- 01:20:05,817 --> 01:20:08,186
- Uh...
- That ain't summer school, C.P.
- 1203
- 01:20:08,953 --> 01:20:11,187
- They still tryin' to finish up
- from last year.
- 1204
- 01:20:11,189 --> 01:20:14,023
- Yes, because of the split
- shifts after the fire,
- 1205
- 01:20:14,025 --> 01:20:15,692
- the students
- were really only getting
- 1206
- 01:20:15,694 --> 01:20:18,127
- about three hours
- of schooling per day.
- 1207
- 01:20:18,129 --> 01:20:20,163
- So, they're still catching up.
- 1208
- 01:20:21,965 --> 01:20:24,367
- Hey, how you doin'?
- Did you get them shoes I sent you?
- 1209
- 01:20:24,369 --> 01:20:25,835
- Mama! [chuckles]
- 1210
- 01:20:25,837 --> 01:20:28,071
- - Hey.
- - Oh, this your girl?
- 1211
- 01:20:29,207 --> 01:20:30,441
- - Hey.
- - Hi.
- 1212
- 01:20:31,309 --> 01:20:34,312
- Marilynn,
- this here is, uh, Mr. Ellis.
- 1213
- 01:20:35,980 --> 01:20:37,148
- Oh.
- 1214
- 01:20:38,483 --> 01:20:40,251
- Well, I better get to class.
- 1215
- 01:20:40,952 --> 01:20:42,086
- Okay.
- 1216
- 01:20:47,693 --> 01:20:50,326
- [exhales]
- 1217
- 01:20:50,328 --> 01:20:52,765
- She looked at me like I was
- some kind of monster.
- 1218
- 01:20:54,065 --> 01:20:55,333
- What'd you expect?
- 1219
- 01:20:57,803 --> 01:20:59,736
- I don't know.
- I'm trying to do right by us.
- 1220
- 01:20:59,738 --> 01:21:01,238
- Make it all better.
- 1221
- 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,275
- And how's this gonna
- make it all better?
- 1222
- 01:21:03,876 --> 01:21:05,709
- Hell, I'm... [scoffs]
- 1223
- 01:21:05,711 --> 01:21:07,877
- They wanted to integrate restaurants.
- So we did.
- 1224
- 01:21:07,879 --> 01:21:10,446
- Then came buses and bathrooms
- and playgrounds.
- 1225
- 01:21:10,448 --> 01:21:12,214
- Look, I'm over there right now
- 1226
- 01:21:12,216 --> 01:21:14,116
- supporting more funding
- to make their schools better.
- 1227
- 01:21:14,118 --> 01:21:16,218
- If they have nicer schools, they'll...
- [kicks cabinet]
- 1228
- 01:21:16,220 --> 01:21:18,053
- ...stop pushin'
- to integrate ours.
- 1229
- 01:21:18,055 --> 01:21:19,957
- The one thing we have left.
- 1230
- 01:21:20,258 --> 01:21:22,260
- Then maybe
- we'll all stop fighting.
- 1231
- 01:21:22,594 --> 01:21:23,928
- Then what you gonna do?
- 1232
- 01:21:25,930 --> 01:21:26,964
- What?
- 1233
- 01:21:28,199 --> 01:21:30,235
- When everybody stops fighting,
- who you gonna fight?
- 1234
- 01:22:36,402 --> 01:22:37,770
- [doorbell rings]
- 1235
- 01:22:42,675 --> 01:22:44,176
- [Ann] Okay. Coming.
- 1236
- 01:22:50,349 --> 01:22:51,749
- Can I help you?
- 1237
- 01:22:51,751 --> 01:22:53,620
- Hi, Ann. Um...
- 1238
- 01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,355
- I'm Mary Ellis.
- Claiborne's wife.
- 1239
- 01:22:58,858 --> 01:23:00,025
- Oh.
- 1240
- 01:23:00,527 --> 01:23:03,195
- I'm sorry
- for just dropping by. I, um...
- 1241
- 01:23:04,364 --> 01:23:08,066
- I wanted to thank you for, um,
- what you did
- 1242
- 01:23:08,568 --> 01:23:10,270
- for our family,
- for our son Larry.
- 1243
- 01:23:12,539 --> 01:23:13,673
- Please, come in.
- 1244
- 01:23:17,477 --> 01:23:18,745
- - Thanks.
- - Go on in.
- 1245
- 01:23:22,917 --> 01:23:25,719
- - Hope you like sweet tea.
- - I do.
- 1246
- 01:23:28,522 --> 01:23:31,357
- So Larry is doing better, huh?
- 1247
- 01:23:32,025 --> 01:23:33,191
- He is.
- 1248
- 01:23:33,826 --> 01:23:35,728
- You know,
- sometimes it's hard to...
- 1249
- 01:23:37,263 --> 01:23:39,599
- - keep him calm.
- - Mm.
- 1250
- 01:23:42,201 --> 01:23:45,738
- Well, has, uh...
- has Larry always been like that?
- 1251
- 01:23:46,239 --> 01:23:47,407
- Yeah.
- 1252
- 01:23:48,575 --> 01:23:50,911
- You know, when he was little,
- it just...
- 1253
- 01:23:51,678 --> 01:23:53,681
- He started not to be able
- to do things.
- 1254
- 01:23:56,750 --> 01:23:58,018
- [chuckles]
- 1255
- 01:23:58,852 --> 01:24:01,152
- Has C.P. always been

- Yes.
- 1258
- 01:24:05,826 --> 01:24:06,860
- More or less.
- 1259
- 01:24:09,196 --> 01:24:12,764
- You know, he used to be
- a really good baseball player.
- 1260
- 01:24:12,766 --> 01:24:14,199
- - Really?
- - Showed a lot of promise.
- 1261
- 01:24:14,201 --> 01:24:15,467
- Colleges came
- and looked at him
- 1262
- 01:24:15,469 --> 01:24:17,805
- right over here
- at Liberty Park.
- 1263
- 01:24:18,939 --> 01:24:20,438
- Where we met, actually.
- 1264
- 01:24:20,440 --> 01:24:22,342
- Came up to me,
- he's so nervous.
- 1265
- 01:24:23,142 --> 01:24:25,511
- Couldn't even talk.
- So handsome.
- 1266
- 01:24:26,145 --> 01:24:28,446
- - Oh.
- - [laughing]
- 1267
- 01:24:28,448 --> 01:24:29,482
- What?
- 1268
- 01:24:30,116 --> 01:24:32,019
- - C.P. handsome?
- - Oh.
- 1269
- 01:24:33,053 --> 01:24:34,153
- He was.

- Okay.
- 1271
- 01:24:40,060 --> 01:24:42,097
- - Mm-hmm.
- - Oh.

- 01:24:44,099 --> 01:24:45,132
- Thank you again.
- 1273
- 01:24:45,366 --> 01:24:46,400
- You're welcome.
- 1274
- 01:24:52,272 --> 01:24:54,941
- - Ann...
- - Yes?
- 1275
- 01:24:54,943 --> 01:24:56,678
- Claiborne is, uh...

- 01:25:04,619 --> 01:25:05,952
- Bye.
- 1278
- 01:25:05,954 --> 01:25:07,121
- Good-bye, Miss Ellis.

- [gunfire]
- 1280
- 01:25:28,643 --> 01:25:30,308
- Gimme a minute with C.P.,
- would you?
- 1281
- 01:25:30,310 --> 01:25:31,546
- Sure thing, Floyd.
- 1282
- 01:25:43,191 --> 01:25:45,293
- [gunfire continues]
- 1283
- 01:25:50,132 --> 01:25:52,034
- Hey. What do you say, Floyd?
- 1284
- 01:25:54,636 --> 01:25:55,703
- You got one of those?
- 1285
- 01:26:03,945 --> 01:26:05,345
- See the paper?
- 1286
- 01:26:06,346 --> 01:26:09,384
- Nothin' I could do about that.
- All part of this charrette business.
- 1287
- 01:26:14,389 --> 01:26:16,090
- It don't look right.
- 1288
- 01:26:16,092 --> 01:26:17,757
- It don't matter
- what it looks like, Floyd.
- 1289
- 01:26:17,759 --> 01:26:19,059
- Matters what it is.
- 1290
- 01:26:19,061 --> 01:26:20,428
- Oh, yeah.
- 1291
- 01:26:21,030 --> 01:26:24,232
- Your wife making friends
- with Ann Atwater what it is?
- 1292
- 01:26:25,667 --> 01:26:26,701
- What?
- 1293
- 01:26:28,269 --> 01:26:30,139
- Couple of the boys
- saw 'em today.
- 1294
- 01:26:32,273 --> 01:26:33,876
- How am I supposed to
- explain that?
- 1295
- 01:26:40,916 --> 01:26:42,750
- She did something for Larry
- is all.
- 1296
- 01:26:42,752 --> 01:26:44,619
- Mary was just
- probably thanking her.
- 1297
- 01:26:45,253 --> 01:26:47,353
- Niggers is doing you
- favors now, C.P.?
- 1298
- 01:26:47,355 --> 01:26:49,023
- Stop with the bullshit, Floyd.
- 1299
- 01:26:49,424 --> 01:26:51,060
- Mary's always gone
- her own way.
- 1300
- 01:26:51,726 --> 01:26:54,594
- Has nothin' to do with how
- I do my business. Never has.
- 1301
- 01:26:54,596 --> 01:26:56,232
- Now you got something to say?
- Say it.
- 1302
- 01:26:58,901 --> 01:27:00,468
- Look around you, C.P.
- 1303
- 01:27:00,870 --> 01:27:03,371
- All these guys,
- they look up to you.
- 1304
- 01:27:03,939 --> 01:27:05,141
- They need you.
- 1305
- 01:27:06,407 --> 01:27:08,778
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- I'm here, ain't I?
- 1306
- 01:27:09,512 --> 01:27:12,548
- - Are you?
- - I'm doin' everything I can.
- 1307
- 01:27:20,723 --> 01:27:24,460
- [man vocalizing]
- 1308

- [man singing]
- 1310
- 01:28:12,976 --> 01:28:15,478
- Hey. Is Mr. Trombley in?
- 1311
- 01:28:15,946 --> 01:28:17,814
- - Yes, sir. He's...
- - Can I help you?
- 1312
- 01:28:18,515 --> 01:28:19,682
- Mr. Trombley.
- 1313
- 01:28:20,683 --> 01:28:23,652
- We're from Durham Fire and
- Life Safety Department. Uh...
- 1314
- 01:28:24,287 --> 01:28:26,189
- We've got a random
- inspection order here.
- 1315
- 01:28:26,655 --> 01:28:27,891
- On a Sunday?
- 1316
- 01:28:29,491 --> 01:28:30,994
- We do 'em when they come in.
- 1317
- 01:28:31,627 --> 01:28:33,828
- We'll need access
- to your breaker panels
- 1318
- 01:28:33,830 --> 01:28:36,166
- and your hazardous materials
- storage area.
- 1319
- 01:28:36,633 --> 01:28:40,003
- Yeah, all right. Sure.
- Uh, come on back. Right this way.
- 1320
- 01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:45,473
- So, Mr. Trombley, it, uh,
- 1321
- 01:28:45,475 --> 01:28:47,141
- seems your
- circuit breaker panels
- 1322
- 01:28:47,143 --> 01:28:49,043
- are not up to code.
- 1323
- 01:28:49,045 --> 01:28:51,813
- You need at least 30-inch
- clearance on both sides,
- 1324
- 01:28:51,815 --> 01:28:53,583
- and you've got
- a little under two feet.
- 1325
- 01:28:55,485 --> 01:29:00,521
- Oh... [stammers] They've been like
- that for 20 years, since I was a kid.
- 1326
- 01:29:00,523 --> 01:29:04,527
- Nevertheless, that needs to be
- rectified before you can, uh, reopen.
- 1327
- 01:29:05,162 --> 01:29:09,599
- - Reopen?
- - Yeah. Gotta shut you down... indefinitely.
- 1328
- 01:29:10,367 --> 01:29:14,469
- What? Oh, no. I...
- See, I can't shut down.
- 1329
- 01:29:14,471 --> 01:29:16,506
- I got...
- I got a business here... Th...
- 1330
- 01:29:19,542 --> 01:29:21,578
- [chuckles]
- What are they supposed to do?
- 1331
- 01:29:25,349 --> 01:29:28,986
- I'm gonna need them boys
- outta here... now.
- 1332
- 01:29:32,390 --> 01:29:33,657
- Like I said...
- 1333
- 01:29:35,458 --> 01:29:37,627
- if you fix things...
- 1334
- 01:29:39,063 --> 01:29:41,098
- you'll be open again
- in no time.
- 1335
- 01:29:42,900 --> 01:29:46,170
- You have a nice day,
- Mr. Trombley.
- 1336
- 01:30:39,758 --> 01:30:41,559
- My, my, my.
- 1337
- 01:30:42,593 --> 01:30:44,462
- Aren't you
- a pretty little thing?
- 1338
- 01:30:45,196 --> 01:30:46,364
- Who are you?
- 1339
- 01:30:47,198 --> 01:30:48,299
- What do you want?
- 1340
- 01:30:48,933 --> 01:30:51,569
- Take it easy, Maddy.
- We're just, uh,
- 1341
- 01:30:52,437 --> 01:30:54,171
- [chuckles] friends.
- 1342
- 01:30:56,007 --> 01:30:57,175
- Please don't.
- 1343
- 01:30:57,842 --> 01:31:00,611
- Shh. It's okay.
- 1344
- 01:31:05,083 --> 01:31:07,319
- None of these pictures
- have niggers in 'em.
- 1345
- 01:31:10,288 --> 01:31:13,058
- We heard you might be
- a friend of niggers.
- 1346
- 01:31:13,358 --> 01:31:15,794
- But I don't see none
- on this wall.
- 1347
- 01:31:18,464 --> 01:31:21,967
- Just to be sure though,
- we're gonna need to hear you say it.
- 1348
- 01:31:23,503 --> 01:31:24,536
- Say it?
- 1349
- 01:31:26,872 --> 01:31:27,906
- Yes.
- 1350
- 01:31:28,907 --> 01:31:29,941
- Say it.
- 1351
- 01:31:30,708 --> 01:31:33,378
- That you ain't
- a friend of niggers.
- 1352
- 01:31:35,213 --> 01:31:39,851
- I'm... not
- a friend of niggers.
- 1353
- 01:31:44,256 --> 01:31:45,257
- Again.
- 1354
- 01:31:46,191 --> 01:31:49,361
- I'm not a friend
- of niggers.
- 1355
- 01:31:52,664 --> 01:31:53,765
- [scoffs]
- 1356
- 01:31:57,203 --> 01:31:58,237
- Well, then.
- 1357
- 01:31:58,637 --> 01:32:00,739
- We must've got
- some bad information.
- 1358
- 01:32:01,873 --> 01:32:04,609
- Guess there was no need
- for the visit after all.
- 1359
- 01:32:10,049 --> 01:32:11,451
- Thanks for the beer, Maddy.
- 1360
- 01:32:18,723 --> 01:32:22,127

- - You shut him down.
- - What are you talking about?
- 1382
- 01:33:41,141 --> 01:33:43,210
- - Lee Trombley.
- - Is that what this is about?
- 1383
- 01:33:43,709 --> 01:33:47,045
- You didn't have to do that, Carvie.
- You didn't have to do that.
- 1384
- 01:33:47,047 --> 01:33:49,881
- This not a good time to show up, C.P.
- I got donors in there.
- 1385
- 01:33:49,883 --> 01:33:51,683
- You haven't answered
- my question.
- 1386
- 01:33:51,685 --> 01:33:53,854
- We're just trying
- to give you a leg up is all.
- 1387

- - Well...
- - "Protect the white working man."
- 1391
- 01:34:04,431 --> 01:34:06,264
- Isn't that what you always said,
- what we always talked about?
- 1392
- 01:34:06,266 --> 01:34:11,438
- C.P., sometimes there are
- necessary evils.
- 1393
- 01:34:12,005 --> 01:34:14,641
- Necessary evils
- for the greater good.
- 1394
- 01:34:15,108 --> 01:34:17,042
- And it's my job to make
- those kind of decisions.
- 1395
- 01:34:17,044 --> 01:34:18,812
- You're just gonna
- have to trust me on this.
- 1396

- Klavern?
- 1400
- 01:35:00,455 --> 01:35:02,789
- Something about a meeting
- at 8:30 or something.
- 1401
- 01:35:04,359 --> 01:35:05,526
- What? You didn't know?
- 1402
- 01:35:07,428 --> 01:35:09,364
- Oh. You all right?
- 1403
- 01:35:10,365 --> 01:35:11,466

- What's goin' on?
- 1412
- 01:37:20,529 --> 01:37:22,431

- that need to be addressed.
- 1415
- 01:37:29,538 --> 01:37:33,610
- As your state leader,
- it is my job to address them.
- 1416
- 01:37:34,376 --> 01:37:36,544
- In our fight
- against communism,
- 1417
- 01:37:36,546 --> 01:37:39,047
- against integration,
- against mongrelism...
- 1418
- 01:37:40,350 --> 01:37:42,550
- we turn to those among us
- 1419
- 01:37:42,552 --> 01:37:47,290
- who can lead us into
- a pure, white future.
- 1420
- 01:37:48,425 --> 01:37:51,795
- We have one such man
- here in North Carolina.
- 1421
- 01:37:53,696 --> 01:37:56,764
- Your Exhalted Cyclops,
- C.P. Ellis.
- 1422
- 01:37:56,766 --> 01:38:00,402
- [applause, cheering]
- 1423
- 01:38:04,940 --> 01:38:10,580
- So, in recognition
- of this man's tireless effort,
- 1424
- 01:38:11,180 --> 01:38:12,847
- for his forethought and vision
- 1425
- 01:38:12,849 --> 01:38:15,652
- in establishing the UKA's
- first Youth Corps...
- 1426
- 01:38:17,253 --> 01:38:18,922
- I guess I'll just read this.
- 1427
- 01:38:19,923 --> 01:38:23,092
- It says,
- "The United Klans of America
- 1428
- 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,762
- hereby bestow upon
- Mr. Claiborne Paul Ellis
- 1429
- 01:38:26,764 --> 01:38:29,297
- the honor of being named
- 1430
- 01:38:29,299 --> 01:38:34,304
- North Carolina's 'Exhalted'
- Cyclops of the Year, 1971."
- 1431
- 01:38:38,442 --> 01:38:40,444
- [indistinct]
- 1432
- 01:39:12,476 --> 01:39:15,844
- What do you mean, you're not the right
- person? Baby, the vote is tonight.
- 1433
- 01:39:15,846 --> 01:39:18,747
- - Yeah, but there's gotta be somebody else.
- - There's nobody else, Maddy.
- 1434
- 01:39:18,749 --> 01:39:20,449
- You heard everything,
- you've seen everything.
- 1435
- 01:39:20,451 --> 01:39:21,917
- No one else can take
- your seat.
- 1436
- 01:39:21,919 --> 01:39:23,387
- What brought this on, Maddy?
- 1437
- 01:39:24,990 --> 01:39:26,622
- What happened?
- 1438
- 01:39:26,624 --> 01:39:28,459
- - Nothing. I just...
- - [footsteps approach]
- 1439
- 01:39:31,661 --> 01:39:35,465
- It's nothing. Um... It's fine.
- If you'll just excuse me.
- 1440
- 01:39:35,799 --> 01:39:37,367
- [Ann] Mm-hmm.
- 1441
- 01:39:49,914 --> 01:39:52,082
- Maddy Mays don't want to vote.
- 1442
- 01:39:52,716 --> 01:39:54,920
- Just like that, out of the blue.
- [snaps fingers]
- 1443
- 01:39:57,154 --> 01:39:59,022
- - What'd you do to that girl?
- - Now, Ann.
- 1444
- 01:39:59,024 --> 01:40:00,859
- I saw the way she looked...
- Don't you "Now, Ann" me.
- 1445
- 01:40:02,027 --> 01:40:03,828
- You coward.
- 1446
- 01:40:04,428 --> 01:40:06,731
- - I ain't no coward.
- - Yeah, you a coward.
- 1447
- 01:40:06,998 --> 01:40:10,165
- Couldn't do it in here.
- Too many people with they own thoughts.
- 1448
- 01:40:10,167 --> 01:40:12,936
- You couldn't win in here,
- so you went and you fixed it out there.
- 1449
- 01:40:12,938 --> 01:40:14,773
- - I don't have to listen to this.
- - You gonna listen today.
- 1450
- 01:40:16,206 --> 01:40:18,275
- What you so afraid of, C.P.?
- 1451
- 01:40:18,876 --> 01:40:21,075
- - I ain't afraid of nothing.
- - Yeah, you is. You're afraid.
- 1452
- 01:40:21,077 --> 01:40:23,145
- You afraid
- you gonna lose control.
- 1453
- 01:40:23,147 --> 01:40:26,081
- You afraid you gonna lose
- what you ain't even got, C.P.!
- 1454
- 01:40:26,083 --> 01:40:28,250
- You're poor.
- Just like the rest of us.
- 1455
- 01:40:28,252 --> 01:40:30,085
- You ain't got nothing
- 'cept problems.
- 1456
- 01:40:30,087 --> 01:40:31,988
- Talkin' 'bout you...
- you in control.
- 1457
- 01:40:31,990 --> 01:40:34,224
- You ain't no more in control
- than the man in the moon.
- 1458
- 01:40:35,192 --> 01:40:37,629
- You're a bigger coward
- than I thought you was.
- 1459
- 01:40:38,063 --> 01:40:40,031
- [footsteps depart]
- 1460
- 01:41:02,755 --> 01:41:04,757
- [male reporter]
- The five o'clock news hour.
- 1461
- 01:41:05,091 --> 01:41:09,592
- With the highly anticipated charrette
- vote just a few hours away now,
- 1462
- 01:41:09,594 --> 01:41:12,562
- we caught up
- with WDNC's Ken Meadows,
- 1463
- 01:41:12,564 --> 01:41:14,731
- who was with some students
- 1464
- 01:41:14,733 --> 01:41:17,369
- gathered outside the
- charrette site earlier today.
- 1465
- 01:41:17,769 --> 01:41:19,268
- [Meadows] Do you think
- it's gonna be okay?
- 1466
- 01:41:19,270 --> 01:41:20,739
- [child]
- Well, it might be all right.
- 1467
- 01:41:22,207 --> 01:41:24,040
- [child 2]
- I think the same thing too.
- 1468
- 01:41:24,042 --> 01:41:25,975
- - [child 3] Uh-uh. I don't.
- - [Meadows] Why not?
- 1469
- 01:41:25,977 --> 01:41:29,980
- I don't. Because, see,
- our first day that I went out there
- 1470
- 01:41:29,982 --> 01:41:31,816
- where we had to scramble,
- you know.
- 1471
- 01:41:32,217 --> 01:41:33,618
- But it was okay.
- 1472
- 01:41:34,653 --> 01:41:37,788
- [girl] It doesn't matter what school
- you go to, it's gonna be the same.
- 1473
- 01:41:37,790 --> 01:41:39,659
- You get your education
- just the same.
- 1474
- 01:41:40,458 --> 01:41:43,929
- I'm fixin' to enroll now,
- and it'll be my school.
- 1475
- 01:41:45,330 --> 01:41:47,898
- [Meadows] Are you concerned for
- your daughter, or is she concerned?
- 1476
- 01:41:47,900 --> 01:41:49,500
- [woman]
- Well, I'm concerned for her,
- 1477
- 01:41:49,502 --> 01:41:52,004
- and I think she's concerned
- for her education.
- 1478
- 01:41:52,938 --> 01:41:54,937
- [Meadows] Laverne,
- I just talked to your mother.
- 1479
- 01:41:54,939 --> 01:41:56,939
- She said you're a little concerned.
- Are you?
- 1480
- 01:41:56,941 --> 01:41:59,177
- - [Laverne] I'm very much concerned.
- - Why?
- 1481
- 01:41:59,811 --> 01:42:03,513
- Oh, because I wanna...
- I wanna be very sure about this year,
- 1482
- 01:42:03,515 --> 01:42:06,719
- and I want to really know
- what they're doing, and...
- 1483
- 01:42:07,452 --> 01:42:12,056
- I think that it will work out if
- everybody cooperates together.
- 1484
- 01:42:12,058 --> 01:42:15,959
- Because, I mean, this is not
- the, probably, first time...
- 1485
- 01:42:15,961 --> 01:42:18,764
- [continues, indistinct]
- 1486
- 01:42:45,191 --> 01:42:47,093
- [breath quavers]
- 1487
- 01:42:54,900 --> 01:42:57,204
- [loud chattering]
- 1488
- 01:43:50,257 --> 01:43:53,059
- - You did great work, Ann.
- - No.
- 1489
- 01:43:53,527 --> 01:43:56,961
- The one thing those people came here
- for, we didn't get it for 'em.
- 1490
- 01:43:56,963 --> 01:43:59,332
- Not true.
- Some of them will be delighted.
- 1491
- 01:43:59,966 --> 01:44:01,334
- [chuckles]
- 1492
- 01:44:02,502 --> 01:44:05,305
- You know, I never really
- thought you was an Uncle Tom.
- 1493
- 01:44:06,339 --> 01:44:07,541
- Yes, you did.
- 1494
- 01:44:09,177 --> 01:44:11,212
- [both chuckling]
- 1495
- 01:44:11,746 --> 01:44:13,214
- "Roughhouse Annie," huh?
- 1496
- 01:44:13,647 --> 01:44:15,183
- Don't you forget it.
- 1497
- 01:44:24,157 --> 01:44:25,759
- Welcome, welcome.
- 1498
- 01:44:27,661 --> 01:44:29,930
- [applause]
- 1499
- 01:44:33,267 --> 01:44:36,503
- Well, what a journey
- it's been, folks.
- 1500
- 01:44:37,138 --> 01:44:40,174
- You've all shown such
- dedication these past two weeks.
- 1501
- 01:44:40,473 --> 01:44:43,978
- And regardless of the outcome,
- you should be proud.
- 1502
- 01:44:51,185 --> 01:44:54,320
- The resolution you've put
- before this senate is clear,
- 1503
- 01:44:54,322 --> 01:44:58,059
- it is thoughtful,
- and above all, it is brave.
- 1504
- 01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:00,828
- This resolution is
- in three parts.
- 1505
- 01:45:01,395 --> 01:45:03,296
- After I read out each one,
- 1506
- 01:45:03,298 --> 01:45:05,699
- I will call the senate members
- up to cast their votes.
- 1507
- 01:45:06,466 --> 01:45:10,169
- Each part requires
- a two-thirds majority to pass.
- 1508
- 01:45:10,171 --> 01:45:11,873
- That's eight votes.
- 1509
- 01:45:13,406 --> 01:45:14,541
- Part one.
- 1510
- 01:45:15,542 --> 01:45:18,010
- Two students,
- one black, one white,
- 1511
- 01:45:18,012 --> 01:45:21,883
- to be appointed every year
- to the Durham school board.
- 1512
- 01:45:22,183 --> 01:45:24,185
- I vote yes.
- 1513
- 01:45:27,688 --> 01:45:28,856
- Mr. Watford.
- 1514
- 01:45:30,625 --> 01:45:31,826
- I'm a no.
- 1515
- 01:45:33,995 --> 01:45:35,694
- - I vote yes.
- - [applause]
- 1516
- 01:45:35,696 --> 01:45:38,166
- [Bill] Part one passes
- with eight votes.
- 1517
- 01:45:41,203 --> 01:45:46,840
- Part two. This calls that summer classes
- be included in the school board budget
- 1518
- 01:45:46,842 --> 01:45:49,910
- so the black students become
- level with their white peers.
- 1519
- 01:45:49,912 --> 01:45:51,046
- Mr. Weeks.
- 1520
- 01:45:52,748 --> 01:45:55,047
- - I vote no.
- - [scattered applause]
- 1521
- 01:45:55,049 --> 01:45:56,117
- Mr. Cox.
- 1522
- 01:45:57,151 --> 01:45:58,286
- [Cox] I vote yes.
- 1523
- 01:46:00,688 --> 01:46:01,756
- I vote yes.
- 1524
- 01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,793
- [Bill] Part two passes
- with eight votes.
- 1525
- 01:46:07,795 --> 01:46:10,731
- [applause]
- 1526
- 01:46:19,473 --> 01:46:20,642
- Part three.
- 1527
- 01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:26,481
- Public school integration.
- 1528
- 01:46:28,050 --> 01:46:29,184
- In summary,
- 1529
- 01:46:30,085 --> 01:46:32,953
- this calls for full
- and immediate integration
- 1530
- 01:46:32,955 --> 01:46:35,891
- starting in the fall semester
- of this school year.
- 1531
- 01:46:36,758 --> 01:46:40,760
- The resolution defines full
- integration by setting a race ratio
- 1532
- 01:46:40,762 --> 01:46:45,599
- of no less than 25 percent
- of any race at each school.
- 1533
- 01:46:46,401 --> 01:46:49,869
- And further, that busing be
- made available to students
- 1534
- 01:46:49,871 --> 01:46:53,175
- to aid in the implementation
- of this ratio.
- 1535
- 01:46:55,577 --> 01:46:58,313
- We'll start the vote
- on this side with Miss Wilson.
- 1536
- 01:47:00,082 --> 01:47:02,150
- [people whispering]
- 1537
- 01:47:07,990 --> 01:47:09,825
- I vote yes.
- 1538
- 01:47:15,365 --> 01:47:16,466
- Mr. Watford?
- 1539
- 01:47:23,006 --> 01:47:24,105
- I vote no.
- 1540
- 01:47:24,107 --> 01:47:26,476
- [applause]
- 1541
- 01:47:28,378 --> 01:47:30,045
- Mr. Mose.
- 1542
- 01:47:34,317 --> 01:47:35,949
- I vote yes.
- 1543
- 01:47:35,951 --> 01:47:37,819
- [applause]
- 1544
- 01:47:40,822 --> 01:47:41,990
- Mr. Weeks.
- 1545
- 01:47:46,496 --> 01:47:49,696
- I vote "hell no."
- 1546
- 01:47:49,698 --> 01:47:51,467
- [cheering, applause]
- 1547
- 01:47:55,938 --> 01:47:57,206
- Mr. Cox?
- 1548
- 01:48:02,111 --> 01:48:03,744
- I vote "hell yes."
- 1549
- 01:48:03,746 --> 01:48:05,948
- [cheering, applause]
- 1550
- 01:48:12,189 --> 01:48:13,357
- Mr. Trombley.
- 1551
- 01:48:24,599 --> 01:48:26,135
- Thank you, Mr. Riddick.
- 1552
- 01:48:33,410 --> 01:48:36,344
- I believe in school
- integration, and I vote yes.
- 1553
- 01:48:36,346 --> 01:48:38,881
- [applause]
- 1554
- 01:48:41,318 --> 01:48:42,752
- It's not gonna matter.
- 1555
- 01:48:49,692 --> 01:48:50,793
- [Bill] Reverend.
- 1556
- 01:48:53,730 --> 01:48:59,636
- With the good Lord as my
- guide, I proudly vote yes.
- 1557
- 01:49:03,674 --> 01:49:04,808
- Miss Mays.
- 1558
- 01:49:23,293 --> 01:49:27,998
- Although I think it should be
- considered in the future, I...
- 1559
- 01:49:31,268 --> 01:49:34,439
- I don't believe right now
- is the time for integration.
- 1560
- 01:49:35,906 --> 01:49:37,841
- Respectfully, I vote no.
- 1561
- 01:49:39,611 --> 01:49:41,778
- - [applause]
- - Hey.
- 1562
- 01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:58,128
- [applause quiets]
- 1563
- 01:50:11,543 --> 01:50:12,676
- Mr. Clement.
- 1564
- 01:50:17,848 --> 01:50:22,952
- I am honored to have had the
- chance to get to know most of you
- 1565
- 01:50:22,954 --> 01:50:24,923
- these past few weeks,
- 1566
- 01:50:25,323 --> 01:50:28,259
- to work on these vital issues.
- 1567
- 01:50:28,693 --> 01:50:32,931
- And while I fear
- that my vote will be in vain,
- 1568
- 01:50:33,666 --> 01:50:35,233
- I'm still gonna vote.
- 1569
- 01:50:36,067 --> 01:50:38,903
- And I vote yes
- on school integration.
- 1570
- 01:50:44,542 --> 01:50:45,577
- Mr. Keith.
- 1571
- 01:50:52,050 --> 01:50:53,084
- No.
- 1572
- 01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:03,696
- Miss Atwater.
- 1573
- 01:51:32,123 --> 01:51:33,157
- Yes.
- 1574
- 01:51:33,891 --> 01:51:36,127
- [applause]
- 1575
- 01:51:40,633 --> 01:51:42,468
- Looks like
- we finally shut her up.
- 1576
- 01:51:44,503 --> 01:51:45,770
- Mr. Ellis.
- 1577
- 01:51:46,605 --> 01:51:48,106
- - [applause]
- - All right.
- 1578
- 01:51:48,674 --> 01:51:49,907
- All right.
- 1579
- 01:51:53,212 --> 01:51:54,280
- All right.
- 1580
- 01:51:55,381 --> 01:51:56,415
- Thank you.
- 1581
- 01:51:57,049 --> 01:51:58,115
- Thank you.
- 1582
- 01:51:58,117 --> 01:51:59,585
- [whistling]
- 1583
- 01:52:00,719 --> 01:52:02,154
- I-I-I...
- 1584
- 01:52:07,727 --> 01:52:11,330
- - Uh...
- - [applause quiets]
- 1585
- 01:52:12,465 --> 01:52:14,766
- I guess I'd first echo
- what Mr. Clement said.
- 1586
- 01:52:14,768 --> 01:52:16,670
- It was good to get to know
- some of you, and I...
- 1587
- 01:52:17,802 --> 01:52:21,507
- I know many of you will be
- disappointed with our outcome here.
- 1588
- 01:52:22,675 --> 01:52:23,709
- I, uh...
- 1589
- 01:52:38,157 --> 01:52:40,059
- You know, before I go on...
- [clears throat]
- 1590
- 01:52:41,461 --> 01:52:43,329
- ...I'd like to show you all
- something.
- 1591
- 01:52:45,964 --> 01:52:48,399
- - This is my Klan membership card.
- - [man] All right.
- 1592
- 01:52:48,401 --> 01:52:50,301
- [scattered laughter]
- 1593
- 01:52:50,303 --> 01:52:53,506
- I was given this card
- 12 years ago.
- 1594
- 01:52:54,741 --> 01:52:56,842
- It's been in my wallet
- ever since.
- 1595
- 01:52:57,577 --> 01:52:59,644
- In fact, I cried
- when they gave me this card.
- 1596
- 01:52:59,646 --> 01:53:02,682
- And I grew up in a house where
- I was taught men don't cry.
- 1597
- 01:53:03,450 --> 01:53:04,951
- But I cried anyway.
- 1598
- 01:53:05,918 --> 01:53:09,556
- I cried because it was the first
- time in my life I didn't feel alone.
- 1599
- 01:53:12,659 --> 01:53:14,826
- Sure, I was married
- with a family.
- 1600
- 01:53:14,828 --> 01:53:17,462
- That's not the kind of alone
- I'm talking about.
- 1601
- 01:53:17,464 --> 01:53:19,865
- As a man, you're expected
- to take care of that family.
- 1602
- 01:53:21,201 --> 01:53:23,236
- And I was havin' a hard time
- doin' that.
- 1603
- 01:53:23,969 --> 01:53:27,607
- We were struggling.
- So...
- 1604
- 01:53:28,842 --> 01:53:31,175
- There I was.
- I was a part of something now.
- 1605
- 01:53:31,177 --> 01:53:34,614
- Something much,
- much bigger than me.
- 1606
- 01:53:36,483 --> 01:53:39,519
- And then when they made me
- president, boy, I was over the moon.
- 1607
- 01:53:40,855 --> 01:53:43,123
- Poor old C.P. Ellis
- president of something.
- 1608
- 01:53:44,759 --> 01:53:46,394
- Whoa. [chuckles]
- 1609
- 01:53:54,467 --> 01:53:56,536
- And it's a real brotherhood.
- It is.
- 1610
- 01:53:56,836 --> 01:53:59,105
- In the Klan,
- you look out for one another.
- 1611
- 01:53:59,539 --> 01:54:02,675
- Nobody is left behind.
- Everybody does for everybody else.
- 1612
- 01:54:03,376 --> 01:54:05,209
- In fact, it says it right
- here on this card...
- 1613
- 01:54:05,211 --> 01:54:08,915
- It says
- "Non silba, sed anthar."
- 1614
- 01:54:10,049 --> 01:54:12,919
- Which means "Not for
- oneself, but for others."
- 1615
- 01:54:13,721 --> 01:54:15,088
- That's our motto.
- 1616
- 01:54:18,592 --> 01:54:20,260
- But see, now I got a problem.
- 1617
- 01:54:21,562 --> 01:54:22,663
- There's a problem...
- 1618
- 01:54:24,465 --> 01:54:26,765
- 'cause there's a lot of that going
- around right here in this room.
- 1619
- 01:54:26,767 --> 01:54:28,102
- People doin' for others.
- 1620
- 01:54:29,904 --> 01:54:32,273
- Last two weeks have been
- full of people just do...
- 1621
- 01:54:33,140 --> 01:54:34,341
- doing for others.
- 1622
- 01:54:35,476 --> 01:54:37,911
- And they're not just white people.
- There's a...
- 1623
- 01:54:37,913 --> 01:54:40,247
- There's a lot of black folk
- doing for others too.
- 1624
- 01:54:41,615 --> 01:54:43,314
- But I'm the president
- of the Klan.
- 1625
- 01:54:43,316 --> 01:54:44,917
- I'm supposed to hate
- black folk.
- 1626
- 01:54:44,919 --> 01:54:48,121
- I teach people
- to hate black folk.
- 1627
- 01:54:50,056 --> 01:54:52,426
- They're supposed to be
- inferior to us.
- 1628
- 01:54:55,094 --> 01:54:56,831
- Now, if I don't believe that,
- 1629
- 01:54:57,398 --> 01:55:00,434
- then I have no business being
- president of the Klan.
- 1630
- 01:55:06,106 --> 01:55:07,408
- Well, I don't believe it.
- 1631
- 01:55:10,779 --> 01:55:12,179
- So my problem is...
- 1632
- 01:55:13,414 --> 01:55:15,316
- I don't have no need
- for this anymore.
- 1633
- 01:55:30,664 --> 01:55:32,431
- Mr. Riddick, I vote yes.
- 1634
- 01:55:32,433 --> 01:55:33,499
- Jesus!
- 1635
- 01:55:33,501 --> 01:55:34,867
- [cheering]
- 1636
- 01:55:34,869 --> 01:55:36,203
- [no audible dialogue]
- 1637
- 01:55:50,351 --> 01:55:51,953
- I just don't believe it.
- 1638
- 01:56:01,463 --> 01:56:02,631
- [Ann] C.P.?
- 1639
- 01:56:06,034 --> 01:56:07,135
- C.P.?
- 1640
- 01:56:33,996 --> 01:56:36,698
- [phone rings]
- 1641
- 01:56:39,936 --> 01:56:41,904
- [rings]
- 1642
- 01:56:46,943 --> 01:56:48,044
- Yeah?
- 1643
- 01:57:13,736 --> 01:57:14,870
- [Jeb] Where's the key?
- 1644
- 01:57:15,236 --> 01:57:17,039
- - Jeb!
- - Where's the key?
- 1645
- 01:57:20,776 --> 01:57:22,310
- Call the fire department!
- 1646
- 01:57:29,919 --> 01:57:32,021
- - Come on.
- - [both straining]
- 1647
- 01:58:20,469 --> 01:58:21,672
- [woman] Thank you.
- 1648
- 01:58:22,338 --> 01:58:25,942
- Next on the agenda is delivery
- of the charrette resolution.
- 1649
- 01:58:26,476 --> 01:58:29,479
- The council recognizes
- Miss Atwater.
- 1650
- 01:58:49,032 --> 01:58:51,567
- [phone rings]
- 1651
- 01:58:55,072 --> 01:58:57,107
- [rings]
- 1652
- 01:58:59,676 --> 01:59:01,445
- Yeah. Hello?
- 1653
- 01:59:02,145 --> 01:59:04,314
- [line disconnects, dial tone]
- 1654
- 01:59:56,734 --> 01:59:58,136
- Okay, Mr. Ellis.
- 1655
- 02:00:00,270 --> 02:00:01,405
- How many?
- 1656
- 02:00:01,773 --> 02:00:04,609
- Well, you lost
- about 650 gallons.
- 1657
- 02:00:05,343 --> 02:00:07,044
- You're lucky
- the thing didn't explode.
- 1658
- 02:00:07,578 --> 02:00:09,080
- Yeah, okay.
- 1659
- 02:00:09,580 --> 02:00:13,218
- You want to replace the loss?
- I can have a truck here tomorrow.
- 1660
- 02:00:15,753 --> 02:00:17,887
- No. Let's see how
- the rest of the month goes.
- 1661
- 02:00:17,889 --> 02:00:18,956
- All right.
- 1662
- 02:00:20,290 --> 02:00:22,794
- - What's this?
- - Would you sign both pages?
- 1663
- 02:00:45,150 --> 02:00:46,285
- Thank you, Mr. Ellis.
- 1664
- 02:00:47,019 --> 02:00:48,519
- Change your mind,
- give us a call.
- 1665
- 02:01:11,243 --> 02:01:12,977
- - Mr. Ellis.
- - Mm-hmm?
- 1666
- 02:01:14,512 --> 02:01:16,514
- If you need to let me go,
- it's okay.
- 1667
- 02:01:17,182 --> 02:01:19,284
- You know,
- until things pick up again.
- 1668
- 02:01:20,818 --> 02:01:23,688
- I appreciate that, Jeb.
- But we're not there yet, okay?
- 1669
- 02:01:24,122 --> 02:01:26,725
- So for now, go ahead,
- take your lunch break.
- 1670
- 02:01:27,860 --> 02:01:29,493
- Okay, Mr. Ellis.
- 1671
- 02:01:30,262 --> 02:01:31,330
- All right.
- 1672
- 02:01:34,299 --> 02:01:37,002
- - [vehicle approaches]
- - [bell dings]
- 1673
- 02:01:57,689 --> 02:02:01,523
- I hope you didn't come here to
- ask me to co-chair somethin' else.
- 1674
- 02:02:01,525 --> 02:02:04,327
- Nah. I just came
- to say good-bye is all.
- 1675
- 02:02:04,329 --> 02:02:07,099
- - Back to Raleigh, huh?
- - Back to Raleigh.
- 1676
- 02:02:15,241 --> 02:02:16,840
- What trouble you been causin'?
- 1677
- 02:02:16,842 --> 02:02:19,444
- - Just organizing, you know me.
- - [chuckles]
- 1678
- 02:02:20,146 --> 02:02:22,547
- - It's what you do, right?
- - It's just what I do.
- 1679
- 02:02:22,916 --> 02:02:24,648
- I sure wish
- you coulda been there
- 1680
- 02:02:24,650 --> 02:02:27,218
- when we handed in
- our resolution. Mmm.
- 1681
- 02:02:27,220 --> 02:02:29,454
- Old Carvie Oldham
- didn't even show up.
- 1682
- 02:02:29,989 --> 02:02:31,024
- [scoffs]
- 1683
- 02:02:32,558 --> 02:02:34,027
- Wish I'd seen that.
- 1684
- 02:02:34,527 --> 02:02:35,895
- How are you doin', C.P.?
- 1685
- 02:02:36,763 --> 02:02:38,598
- Oh, had a little trouble here.
- 1686
- 02:02:39,766 --> 02:02:41,731
- Just trying to
- put it back together.
- 1687
- 02:02:41,733 --> 02:02:43,101
- Yeah, we heard.
- 1688
- 02:02:44,136 --> 02:02:45,902
- I'm so sorry, C.P.
- 1689
- 02:02:45,904 --> 02:02:48,774
- It's okay.
- Although not sure it matters much.
- 1690
- 02:02:49,541 --> 02:02:52,742
- Nobody stoppin' to buy gas
- from me these days.
- 1691
- 02:02:52,744 --> 02:02:55,046
- [horns honking in distance]
- 1692
- 02:02:55,048 --> 02:02:58,450
- Well... Maybe things
- will pick up for you.
- 1693
- 02:03:00,219 --> 02:03:01,788
- What you smilin' at?
- 1694
- 02:03:02,088 --> 02:03:04,190
- - [chuckling]
- - [honking continues]
- 1695
- 02:03:10,596 --> 02:03:12,565
- [honking continues]
- 1696
- 02:03:33,820 --> 02:03:35,922
- That's just what I do, C.P.
- 1697
- 02:03:36,289 --> 02:03:38,558
- You know that.
- That's just what I do.
- 1698
- 02:03:55,476 --> 02:03:58,578
- - [bell dings]
- - Hey, Jeb. We got customers.
- 1699
- 02:04:02,816 --> 02:04:05,486
- Gas? [chuckles]
- 1700
- 02:04:05,853 --> 02:04:07,486
- - Gas?
- - [Jeb] All right, sir.
- 1701
- 02:04:07,488 --> 02:04:09,054
- [C.P.] You want gas?
- 1702
- 02:04:09,056 --> 02:04:10,858
- - [Jeb] Yeah, no problem.
- - [C.P.] All right.
- 1703
- 02:04:15,330 --> 02:04:17,663
- [soul song plays]
- 1704
- 02:04:24,438 --> 02:04:27,241
- [man singing]
- 1705
- 02:04:29,343 --> 02:04:33,311
- She can upset the world with
- her mouth if she wants to.
- 1706
- 02:04:33,313 --> 02:04:36,281
- But everywhere I go,
- every time I pick up a newspaper,
- 1707
- 02:04:36,283 --> 02:04:39,618
- Ann Atwater's been before the
- council, the county commission,
- 1708
- 02:04:39,620 --> 02:04:42,020
- or she was at some
- shopping center boycotting,
- 1709
- 02:04:42,022 --> 02:04:43,791
- or she was downtown
- at Woolworths.
- 1710
- 02:04:44,359 --> 02:04:46,325
- And he was woofin'
- and goin' on,
- 1711
- 02:04:46,327 --> 02:04:48,428
- and the place was packed
- with Klansmen.
- 1712
- 02:04:48,430 --> 02:04:51,932
- This particular night, C.P.
- was up raging and ranting.
- 1713
- 02:04:52,534 --> 02:04:54,601
- That's when
- I wanted to cut his head off.
- 1714
- 02:04:54,868 --> 02:04:56,835
- And after that first meeting,
- 1715
- 02:04:56,837 --> 02:04:59,340
- I actually went home saying,
- this is crazy.
- 1716
- 02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:03,543
- This is absolutely crazy.
- I don't think I wanna do this.
- 1717
- 02:05:03,545 --> 02:05:06,413
- I mean, I can make a living
- easier than this.
- 1718
- 02:05:07,081 --> 02:05:09,983
- [song continues]
- 1719
- 02:05:13,587 --> 02:05:16,524
- The story was picked up
- in The Washington Post.
- 1720
- 02:05:17,224 --> 02:05:19,793
- "Black man calls Klansman
- 'brother.'"
- 1721
- 02:05:20,395 --> 02:05:24,532
- And of course, my father, when he read
- the story in The Washington Post...
- 1722
- 02:05:25,599 --> 02:05:27,469
- he thought I had lost my mind.
- 1723
- 02:05:35,009 --> 02:05:40,882
- In becoming my friend,
- C.P. has lost a lot.
- 1724
- 02:05:41,216 --> 02:05:44,587
- Look, you do not make those changes
- without having to pay for 'em.
- 1725
- 02:05:44,986 --> 02:05:47,887
- I know damn well, you know.
- 1726
- 02:05:47,889 --> 02:05:49,624
- You have to pay for it
- eventually.
- 1727
- 02:05:50,259 --> 02:05:52,924
- We bonded,
