you should come and visit.

{\an8}I've been talking to my

{\an8}they planned a

00:04:04,702 --> 00:04:06,287
my last few years in prison?
72
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:08,831
It was knowing that one day,
73
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:12,627
{\an8}I would actually walk
into a Temple as a free man.
74
00:04:15,546 --> 00:04:17,715
{\an8}A free Muslim man.
75
00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:21,427
{\an8}I'm not waiting another day.
76
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:26,975
{\an8}We're going to the temple.
77
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:31,688
{\an8}MUHAMMAD: My beloved
Brothers and Sisters,
78
00:04:31,688 --> 00:04:35,942
{\an8}there can be no greater leader
in America that can do more for
79
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:40,363
the so-called Negro as
much as what Islam has done
80
00:04:40,363 --> 00:04:41,656
for you and I.
81
00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:46,202
I see the beautiful faces of
men and women who have
82
00:04:46,202 --> 00:04:47,537
traveled a similar journey.
83
00:04:48,246 --> 00:04:50,456
A journey made
far too difficult,
84
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:53,710
but one that is
filled with promise.
85
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:57,880
{\an8}In fact, I see Brother
Malcolm sitting among us.
86
00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:00,258
Brother, if you would stand.
87
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:03,219
It's all right.
88
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:11,477
{\an8}Brother Malcolm stands before
us tall, proud, and strong.
89
00:05:11,477 --> 00:05:14,814
{\an8}But, like many of us,
it didn't start that way.
90
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:18,901
Like myself, it took years in
the shackles of the "master"
91
00:05:18,901 --> 00:05:22,113
for him to find his true
calling through Islam.
92
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:27,952
{\an8}My point is that we,
as men and women,
93
00:05:27,952 --> 00:05:30,747
{\an8}do not have to go through
torment and imprisonment to
94
00:05:30,747 --> 00:05:34,208
find our light,
because it is here.
95
00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:38,838
So thank you, Brother Malcolm,
for being that light,
96
00:05:40,673 --> 00:05:45,136
{\an8}for your letters, for your
discipline while in bondage.
97
00:05:45,136 --> 00:05:48,556
{\an8}And thank you for your
commitment to Allah.
98
00:05:48,556 --> 00:05:53,186
{\an8}As much as the nation
can offer us inspiration,
99
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:56,022
so too can we be to each other.
100
00:05:58,983 --> 00:06:00,151
And you are to be.

00:06:01,277 --> 00:06:02,987

00:06:29,514 --> 00:06:31,391

didn't embarrass you.

MALCOLM X: Any recognition
from you is an honor, sir.
110

Brother Malcolm.
111

I meant every word.

you will do growing the Nation.

MALCOLM X: Your
Honorable One, if I may.
115
00:06:46,989 --> 00:06:48,032
How can I do it?
116
00:06:48,866 --> 00:06:51,577
MUHAMMAD: You've been a
criminal and a prisoner.
117
00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:55,164
You've come to the other side
and learned to embrace Allah.
118
00:06:57,208 --> 00:07:00,461
Let your light shine on our
people and bring them to us.
119
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:02,755
Go after the young people.
120
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:04,340
Once you get them, well,
121
00:07:05,508 --> 00:07:07,552
the older ones will
follow through shame.
122
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,239
{\an8}MALCOLM X: I'm here
from the Nation of Islam and
123
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:30,074
{\an8}I'm here to tell
you that the Nation of Islam
124
00:07:30,074 --> 00:07:32,034
{\an8}doesn't just see your dignity,
125
00:07:32,034 --> 00:07:35,079
{\an8}it asks you to embrace
it with both of your hands and
126
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:36,164
with all of your being.
127
00:07:36,164 --> 00:07:38,541
That you have been bitten
by the snake, so the snake is,
128
00:07:38,541 --> 00:07:40,626
of course, gonna run back
and tell the other snakes
129
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:42,086
that he's preaching
the gospel of hate.
130
00:07:42,086 --> 00:07:45,131
But it is not a gospel of hate,
it is a gospel of hell.
131
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:48,926
Now, if there is a snake in
the field that has been biting
132
00:07:48,926 --> 00:07:51,554
your brothers and sisters,
is that a gospel of hate,
133
00:07:51,554 --> 00:07:52,722
or is that a gospel of hell?
134
00:07:52,722 --> 00:07:54,891
I would say it is
a gospel of hell.
135
00:07:54,891 --> 00:07:57,435
It's just that my love for
my people is so intense,
136
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:58,519
it's so great,
137
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,856
it is so overwhelming
that I must inform you,
138
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:04,317
and it would be remiss
of me not to inform you,
139
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:07,153
and it would be remiss of you
not to notify your brothers and
140
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:08,738
sisters now that you
have stood here and graced me
141
00:08:08,738 --> 00:08:09,822
with your time.
142
00:08:11,115 --> 00:08:13,075
KING JR.: I am not
who you think I am,
143
00:08:13,075 --> 00:08:15,536
but what I do have,
144
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:18,164
what I have come
here today with,
145
00:08:19,123 --> 00:08:22,293
is a feeling deep in my
marrow that my calling,
146
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:25,755
to preach and lead
God's people, our people,
147
00:08:25,755 --> 00:08:29,008
past the high walls of
despair and depravity,
148
00:08:29,008 --> 00:08:32,094
and into the lush garden
of hope and humanity.
149
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:36,641
And I believe I can do that
here at Twelfth Baptist,
150
00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:40,353
at Second Baptist,
at Concord Baptist.
151
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:43,523
DEACON: Dr. King, it's
clear that you recognize that
152
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:45,733
the call to pastorate is
a calling and not a job.
153
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:49,862
Our only concern is
your unique pedigree.
154
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:52,907
Your father,
Reverend King Sr. in Atlanta,
155
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:56,160
is somewhat of a race man
with the reputation for.
156
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,037
DEACON 2: Stirring the pot.
157
00:08:58,037 --> 00:08:59,330
DEACON 3: Pissing
off the White folk.
158
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:02,124
DEACON: We understand that
certain tactics are needed in
159
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:05,169
the South to combat
the evils of Jim Crow,
160
00:09:05,169 --> 00:09:07,672
but you need to know that
well-established churches in
161
00:09:07,672 --> 00:09:11,133
Boston are looking for a pastor,
but not a prophet.
162
00:09:11,133 --> 00:09:14,720
The question for you is, is
this something that you want?
163
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:18,307
ALBERTA: But everyone
is just so proud of you.
164
00:09:18,307 --> 00:09:20,601
We're looking forward to
you visiting over Christmas.
165
00:09:20,601 --> 00:09:22,895
KING JR.: I'm looking
forward to it as well.
166
00:09:24,689 --> 00:09:25,690
We both are.
167
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:27,066
ALBERTA: Both?
168
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:29,527
KING JR. (over phone):

put as much distance
between ourselves and Alabama
341
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:03,285
as we could.
342
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:05,621
And music provided
that escape route,
343
00:20:06,622 --> 00:20:07,873
so I'd never have to go back.
344
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:18,550
KING SR.: So underneath
all this opera singin',
345
00:20:20,344 --> 00:20:21,970
you just a country girl, huh?
346
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:24,681
CORETTA: Yes, sir.
347
00:20:25,349 --> 00:20:27,517
From a small town
outside Montgomery.
348
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:32,064
KING SR.: Martin,
go ahead and open it.
349
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,402
Mrs. Chamberlain wanted
to have me pay twice the
350
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,780
usual amount
because it's a custom fit,
351
00:20:40,822 --> 00:20:42,449
but when I told
her it was for you,
352
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:44,326
she did it on the house.
353
00:20:47,871 --> 00:20:49,665
Now, you're gonna be
working with me as my
354
00:20:49,665 --> 00:20:51,250
co-pastor at Ebenezer,
355
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,126
I figured you should
have one of your own.
356
00:20:58,465 --> 00:20:59,549
KING JR.: Well, Daddy, I'm,
357
00:21:00,384 --> 00:21:04,596
I appreciate the
offer but I, uh,
358
00:21:06,014 --> 00:21:09,518
I'm still considering my
other options in Boston.
359
00:21:13,855 --> 00:21:15,482
KING SR.: So you
haven't found a job yet.
360
00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:20,112
KING JR.: No, not yet.
361
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:26,451
But, um, when Coretta
and I get back to Boston,
362
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:29,162
I have an interview set up
at Tremont Temple Baptist.
363
00:21:29,997 --> 00:21:31,581
CORETTA: You know, the
congregation has close
364
00:21:31,581 --> 00:21:33,667
to 250 parishioners.
365
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:35,961
One of the biggest
in all of Roxbury.
366
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:38,630
KING SR.: By the way,
you know who I ran into just
367
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:41,758
the other day, Martin?
368
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:45,095
Mabel Wilson.
369
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:46,555
You remember her, right?
370
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:49,766
It's a shame you
two called it quits.
371
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:51,435
That girl was a catch.
372
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:54,604
I'm talking about
someone with much to share
373
00:21:54,604 --> 00:21:56,690
and much to offer.
374
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:17,627
CORETTA: I have
something to offer as well.
375
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:23,508
I think I'm going to
turn in for the night.
376
00:22:23,508 --> 00:22:25,761
This was lovely, Mrs. King.
377
00:22:52,913 --> 00:22:53,914
KING SR.: Where is he going?
378
00:22:55,082 --> 00:22:56,083
ALBERTA: Fix it.
379
00:23:21,691 --> 00:23:23,693
KING JR.: I didn't
appreciate the way that you
380
00:23:23,693 --> 00:23:24,778
talked to Coretta.
381
00:23:30,033 --> 00:23:31,785
KING SR.: She is a
wonderful young lady.
382
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:33,870
Girl's got a fire.
383
00:23:35,455 --> 00:23:37,707
"I have something
to offer as well."
384
00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:45,882
I know my approach can
sometimes be a bit sharp.
385
00:23:45,882 --> 00:23:47,008
KING JR.: Hmm.
386
00:23:48,969 --> 00:23:50,679
KING SR.: But I only
want what's best for you.
387
00:23:53,515 --> 00:23:55,100
KING JR.: How do you
know that Coretta isn't?
388
00:23:55,809 --> 00:23:58,311
KING SR.: Maybe because
you haven't bothered to
389
00:23:58,311 --> 00:23:59,688
tell me why she is.
390
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:02,566
Your future is ahead of you.
391
00:24:04,609 --> 00:24:06,820
It's why it's great for
you to come join me here.
392
00:24:07,737 --> 00:24:09,489
Give you time to figure
these things out.
393
00:24:10,532 --> 00:24:12,284
KING JR.: I don't wanna
join you at Ebenezer.
394
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:13,452
KING SR.: Of course you do.
395
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:14,786
It's what we've
always talked about.
396
00:24:14,786 --> 00:24:16,288
KING JR.: No. It's what
you've always talked about.
397
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:19,708
You never asked me, you told me.
398
00:24:21,501 --> 00:24:22,669
You're always telling.
399
00:24:22,669 --> 00:24:23,837
KING SR.: Hmm.
400
00:24:28,717 --> 00:24:30,510
KING JR.: You like
being Daddy King.
401
00:24:33,346 --> 00:24:34,639
You're good at it.
402
00:24:35,932 --> 00:24:37,267
And there's nothing
wrong with that.
403
00:24:39,352 --> 00:24:42,981
But if I were to come
and join you at Ebenezer,
404
00:24:44,858 --> 00:24:47,319
all I'll ever be is
Daddy King's son.
405
00:24:49,446 --> 00:24:53,825
I wanna be more than that.
I need to be.
406
00:24:55,911 --> 00:24:57,162
But I need you to let me.
407
00:25:04,711 --> 00:25:06,963
KING SR.: Hey, listen, I have a
friend at Dexter Avenue Baptist
408
00:25:06,963 --> 00:25:08,465
down in Montgomery,
409
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:12,344
and he's been asking me
for a while to come and
410
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:14,638
give a guest sermon,
but I've not been able to do it.
411
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:18,391
It's only a three-hour
drive and you can have Coretta
412
00:25:18,391 --> 00:25:19,601
stay with us.
413
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,354
I know your mother
would love to spend some
414
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:23,522
more time with her.
415
00:25:26,816 --> 00:25:27,984
As would I.
416
00:25:36,034 --> 00:25:37,244
KING JR.: I suppose
I can do that.
417
00:25:41,498 --> 00:25:42,832
(knock)
418
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:51,883
You're going somewhere?
419
00:25:52,425 --> 00:25:54,594
CORETTA: I'm going
back to Boston.
420
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:02,561
KING JR.: Look, I just
wanted come in and apologize
421
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:03,853
for earlier tonight.
422
00:26:08,525 --> 00:26:09,859
Corrie, will you stop
and listen for a second?
423
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,027
CORETTA: Why?
424
00:26:11,736 --> 00:26:13,029
KING JR.: 'Cause I
wanna talk to you.
425
00:26:13,697 --> 00:26:15,240
CORETTA: So now
you want to talk?
426
00:26:17,492 --> 00:26:21,788
Why don't you go talk to
Delinda or Savannah or whoever
427
00:26:21,788 --> 00:26:24,040
else your father has
lined up for you?
428
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,166
KING JR.: Because I
don't want any of them.
429
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:26,293
CORETTA: And, you know,
430
00:26:26,293 --> 00:26:28,420
I don't care what
your daddy has to say about me
431
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:29,796
because I know who I am.
432
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:34,467
What I found out
tonight is who you are.
433
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:38,680
KING JR.: What's that
supposed to mean, Corrie?
434
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,224
CORETTA: You know, this
is probably for the best,
435
00:26:42,183 --> 00:26:44,561
'cause I don't need to be
with a man who isn't
436
00:26:44,561 --> 00:26:46,187
strong enough to
stand up for me.
437
00:26:46,187 --> 00:26:48,690
I didn't come here to
this dinner for that.
438
00:26:49,774 --> 00:26:51,901
KING JR.: Corrie,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
439
00:27:04,831 --> 00:27:06,708
CORETTA: Why didn't
you stand up for me?
440
00:27:09,502 --> 00:27:11,046
Am I not worth fighting for?
441
00:27:23,683 --> 00:27:26,436
KING JR.: You wanna know what
I told him you have to offer?
442
00:27:30,523 --> 00:27:35,487
Your heart, which
is warm and full,
443
00:27:37,238 --> 00:27:39,324
and you share it
with me every day.
444
00:27:42,118 --> 00:27:47,207
Your mind, which constantly
challenges me to be the best
445
00:27:47,207 --> 00:27:50,085
version of myself I can be.
446
00:27:53,797 --> 00:27:58,551
And your soul, which
you pledged to God like a
447
00:27:58,551 --> 00:28:00,261
good Christian should.
448
00:28:04,391 --> 00:28:05,809
And if I'm lucky...
449
00:28:11,481 --> 00:28:12,691
Your hand.
450
00:28:21,991 --> 00:28:23,451
Will you marry me?
451
00:28:29,582 --> 00:28:31,751
CORETTA: Yes. Yes.
452
00:28:43,346 --> 00:28:45,724
♪ ♪
453
00:28:56,693 --> 00:28:58,278
(whimpering)
454
00:29:00,321 --> 00:29:02,282
(applause)
455
00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:09,748
MALCOLM X: The White man,
with his shackles and bondage,
456
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,295
has convinced us that even
the simplest of rights,
457
00:29:16,296 --> 00:29:20,425
like freedom of education,
are up for negotiation.
458
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:22,010
And we fell for it.
459
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:24,679
Hook, line, and sinker.
460
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:32,479
Now, I've been to Detroit,
Philadelphia, Chicago,
461
00:29:33,521 --> 00:29:36,232
and even for our Southern
folks here, Edgewood.
462
00:29:36,232 --> 00:29:41,154
The same truth exists
up and down this so-called
463
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:42,614
"land of the free."
464
00:29:42,614 --> 00:29:47,285
We're all still negotiating
something that should be ours.
465
00:29:49,496 --> 00:29:50,497
So what's the solution?
466
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:55,043
Pride and dignity within self.
467
00:29:55,710 --> 00:29:58,046
MAN: Yes, yes!
468
00:29:58,838 --> 00:30:01,424
MALCOLM X: Caring
about who we are,
469
00:30:01,424 --> 00:30:05,887
and when we understand our
worth and have pride within it,
470
00:30:05,887 --> 00:30:08,306
so too will everyone else.
471
00:30:08,306 --> 00:30:11,518
And through Islam
and the leadership of
472
00:30:11,518 --> 00:30:13,645
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
473
00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:16,940
this will be our foundation
as we move forward.
474
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:18,107
But we need your commitment.
475
00:30:19,025 --> 00:30:22,403
And so I ask each
and everyone here today,
476
00:30:22,403 --> 00:30:23,738
do we have it?
477
00:30:24,531 --> 00:30:25,532
(applause)
478
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:27,909
I see our youth in the back.
479
00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:28,993
Do we have it?
480
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:31,454
CROWD: Yes, yes!
481
00:30:31,454 --> 00:30:35,250
MALCOLM X: And, again,
through Allah, let's work.
482
00:30:39,045 --> 00:30:40,255
MAN: Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
483
00:30:42,882 --> 00:30:45,051
MUHAMMAD: I weighed whether
or not I wanted to view
484
00:30:45,051 --> 00:30:46,469
your words in person.
485
00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:49,806
I feared my presence
might alter your message.
486
00:30:49,806 --> 00:30:55,061
But to hear and feel the
people's response up close
487
00:30:55,728 --> 00:30:57,230
was truly inspiring.
488
00:30:57,230 --> 00:31:00,024
I've been hearing about
your recruiting for some time.
489
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:02,485
Your exploits are
reverberating throughout the
490
00:31:02,485 --> 00:31:05,989
Nation of Islam
with great pride.
491
00:31:05,989 --> 00:31:07,824
MALCOLM X: Thank you,
your Honorable One.
492
00:31:07,824 --> 00:31:08,950
Praise to Allah.
493
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:10,910
And please know, had I
known you would be here.
494
00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:12,704
MUHAMMAD: No need
for explanation.
495
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:15,373
Like I said, I was inspired.
496
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:20,461
Now, my time is brief, and I
wanted to discuss an important
497
00:31:20,461 --> 00:31:23,756
matter with you that has
come to my attention,
498
00:31:23,756 --> 00:31:25,550
one that I need your help with.
499
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:26,634
MALCOLM X: Of course.
500
00:31:26,634 --> 00:31:27,927
Anything the Nation needs,
501
00:31:27,927 --> 00:31:29,637
I am fully committed and,
of course,
502
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:30,805
to you personally.
503
00:31:30,805 --> 00:31:32,473
MUHAMMAD: As I anticipated.
504
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:35,810
The matter though involves
someone close to you.
505
00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:37,020
Your brother, Reginald.
506
00:31:40,565 --> 00:31:42,150
MALCOLM X: Reginald?
What's going on?
507
00:31:42,150 --> 00:31:44,903
MUHAMMAD: He will be relieved
of his duties in the Nation.
508
00:31:45,945 --> 00:31:49,282
We cannot turn a blind eye to
inappropriate relationships.
509
00:31:51,034 --> 00:31:53,119
MALCOLM X: I'm, I'm sorry.
You must be mistaken.
510
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,204
Reginald wouldn't do
something like that.
511
00:31:55,204 --> 00:31:57,415
MUHAMMAD: I would not
make a move if I didn't know.
512
00:31:57,415 --> 00:32:00,251
He went against the
foundation of who we are.
513
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:04,797
You don't doubt me
do you, Malcolm?
514
00:32:06,841 --> 00:32:08,760
In your final
letter from prison,
515
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,305
you said there is no
sacrifice too great for me
516
00:32:12,305 --> 00:32:13,932
to make in your service.
517
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:15,808
Is this no longer true?
518
00:32:15,808 --> 00:32:18,311
MALCOLM X: Of course not.
I am at your service always.
519
00:32:18,311 --> 00:32:19,395
MUHAMMAD: I'm glad to hear it.
520
00:32:20,229 --> 00:32:23,066
Now, with Reginald gone,
we need to replace him.
521
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:26,277
Is this, is this
something you can do?
522
00:32:37,372 --> 00:32:39,290
(overlapping chatter)
523
00:32:41,459 --> 00:32:42,543
(knock)
524
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:46,089
KING JR.: Edythe said
you wanted to see me?
525
00:32:46,089 --> 00:32:47,632
Corrie, you know it's
bad luck to see the bride
526
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:49,092
before the wedding.
527
00:32:49,092 --> 00:32:50,259
Oh.
528
00:32:55,139 --> 00:33:00,019
You look, you look dazzling.
529
00:33:04,649 --> 00:33:06,484
Oh, Corrie, what's wrong?
530
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:07,902
CORETTA: I can't do this.
531
00:33:07,902 --> 00:33:11,698
I won't say the
vows about "obeying" and
532
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:13,700
"submitting to your husband."
533
00:33:15,952 --> 00:33:17,662
I'm not gonna do this
with you if I'm going to be
534
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:20,957
your servant or your
concubine or some sort of
535
00:33:20,957 --> 00:33:22,208
glorified housekeeper.
536
00:33:25,086 --> 00:33:28,589
This needs to be an equal
partnership if it's gonna work.
537
00:33:28,589 --> 00:33:29,882
KING JR.: I agree with you.
538
00:33:33,761 --> 00:33:35,304
CORETTA: What about Daddy King?
539
00:33:35,304 --> 00:33:37,015
KING JR.: Well, it's
not his wedding day.
540
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:40,393
It's ours.
541
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:42,270
And no one's gonna tell
us how it should go except
542
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:43,688
you and me,
543
00:33:44,522 --> 00:33:47,942
if that's all right
with you, Mrs. King.
544
00:33:52,488 --> 00:33:53,614
CORETTA: It's all right with me.
545
00:33:53,614 --> 00:33:54,866
KING JR.: Hmm.
546
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:56,242
CORETTA: Dr. King.
547
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:01,456
KING JR.: I ain't see nothing.
548
00:34:03,958 --> 00:34:06,127
God as my witness,
I did not see nothing.

MR. WILSON: No vacancies
anywhere else in town, hmm?

00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:19,659
CORETTA: Not for us.
572

MR. WILSON: Come on.
573
00:35:21,536 --> 00:35:25,498
CORETTA: Thank you.
KING JR.: Thank you.

00:35:25,498 --> 00:35:26,707
MR. WILSON: Uh-hmm.
575
00:35:30,336 --> 00:35:32,171
Well, congratulations, y'all.
576
00:35:32,171 --> 00:35:33,756
KING JR.: Thank you.

577
00:35:40,221 --> 00:35:41,722
MR. WILSON:
Bedrooms are upstairs.
578
00:36:01,868 --> 00:36:03,327
(makes owl sounds)
579
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:05,163
(laughter)
580
00:36:09,542 --> 00:36:11,085
CORETTA: Oh, my.
581
00:36:15,089 --> 00:36:16,215
KING JR.: Well?
582
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:22,138
At least, we'll have a funny
story to tell our kids about
583
00:36:22,138 --> 00:36:23,723
how we spent
the wedding night.
584
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:25,641
CORETTA: Kids?
585
00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:28,811
KING JR.: I told you
I'm a man on a mission.
586
00:36:28,811 --> 00:36:29,979
CORETTA: Oh.
587
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:31,189
KING JR.: Uh-hmm.
588
00:36:36,027 --> 00:36:37,153
What's wrong?
589
00:36:38,654 --> 00:36:40,531
CORETTA: I can't wait
to get out of the South.
590
00:36:46,662 --> 00:36:48,080
Whoa!
591
00:37:10,394 --> 00:37:12,021
(door locks)
592
00:37:12,021 --> 00:37:13,231
KING JR.: Just in case.
593
00:37:31,624 --> 00:37:32,875
MALCOLM X: Can we talk?
594
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:34,460
WILLIAMS: Yeah.
595
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:38,339
Just getting paid.
596
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,883
Maybe we can go get breakfast.
597
00:37:42,051 --> 00:37:44,553
I know a great flapjack place
around the corner from here.
598
00:37:50,059 --> 00:37:52,478
MALCOLM X: I was
just named minister of
599
00:37:52,478 --> 00:37:54,689
Temple No. 7 in Harlem.
600
00:37:54,689 --> 00:37:58,109
WILLIAMS: Wow. Congratulations.
601
00:37:59,902 --> 00:38:01,320
So what does that mean?
602
00:38:03,698 --> 00:38:07,618
MALCOLM X: Well, with
this opportunity comes the
603
00:38:07,618 --> 00:38:12,123
responsibility to focus
solely on the Nation,
604
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:18,671
and that means putting my
past behind me along with
605
00:38:18,671 --> 00:38:20,298
everyone associated with it.
606
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:25,469
WILLIAMS: What
are you saying, Red?
607
00:38:33,227 --> 00:38:34,312
Right.
608
00:38:36,605 --> 00:38:37,857
So last night was just...
609
00:38:37,857 --> 00:38:40,192
MALCOLM X: A mistake.
I'm sorry.
610
00:38:44,989 --> 00:38:46,741
You know me as "Detroit Red."
611
00:38:47,658 --> 00:38:50,244
You always have and always will.
612
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:53,080
But I've changed, okay?
613
00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:55,291
I'm not Red.
614
00:38:55,291 --> 00:38:56,500
I'm Malcolm.
615
00:38:58,419 --> 00:39:00,963
WILLIAMS: Well, I guess I'd
look pretty stupid right now if
616
00:39:00,963 --> 00:39:03,174
I'd let myself believe
last night was real.
617
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:10,389
If I had just thought
for one second what a life
618
00:39:10,389 --> 00:39:11,724
with you would look like.
619
00:39:12,558 --> 00:39:14,226
The places we'd go,
the things we'd do.
620
00:39:15,478 --> 00:39:18,564
I guess I'd be pretty stupid
if I let myself get lost in
621
00:39:18,564 --> 00:39:19,690
any of that.
622
00:39:19,690 --> 00:39:20,775
MALCOLM X: Yeah, well,
you're not stupid.
623
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:25,154
WILLIAMS: I know I'm not.
And you haven't changed.
624
00:39:25,988 --> 00:39:28,366
You are still the same
impulsive person you
625
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:29,658
have always been.
626
00:39:29,658 --> 00:39:31,535
Only now instead
of bad choices,
627
00:39:31,535 --> 00:39:34,205
you are hiding behind somebody
else making them for you.
628
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:35,581
MALCOLM X: I made
this decision myself.
629
00:39:38,334 --> 00:39:39,960
WILLIAMS: Did you ever
even care about me?
630
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:49,011
MALCOLM X: Listen, I
meant what I said about
631
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:51,222
the Nation, okay?
632
00:39:54,642 --> 00:39:55,768
It saved my life.
633
00:39:57,436 --> 00:39:59,772
And it can do the same
for you if you allow it,
634
00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:02,775
and I hope that you do.

KING JR.: Good morning.
650
00:41:45,127 --> 00:41:46,462
ALL: Good morning.
651
00:41:46,962 --> 00:41:51,258
KING JR.: I had a, another
sermon I intended to preach
652
00:41:51,258 --> 00:41:52,551
to you today.
653
00:41:52,551 --> 00:41:56,263
One that encompass all that
I have learned in my many,
654
00:41:56,263 --> 00:42:00,643
many years of education and
preaching at my father's hip.
655
00:42:00,643 --> 00:42:02,102
MAN: Yeah.
Yes. Yes.
656
00:42:02,102 --> 00:42:03,187
WOMAN: Well, well.
MAN: Uh-hmm.
657
00:42:07,066 --> 00:42:10,945
KING JR.: But I feel that
that sermon no longer speaks
658
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:13,364
to the emotion I now have.
659
00:42:13,364 --> 00:42:16,784
I, instead, would like to use
it as a topic from which to
660
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:18,410
preach a very common subject.
661
00:42:18,410 --> 00:42:19,620
MAN: Okay.
662
00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:22,706
KING JR.: One wondered by many
a people on many a land across
663
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:25,960
every continent, in every
country, in every state,
664
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,295
in every city on
this God's planet.
665
00:42:28,295 --> 00:42:29,505
MAN: Oh, yeah.
WOMAN: All right.
666
00:42:29,505 --> 00:42:30,589
WOMAN: Okay.
667
00:42:30,589 --> 00:42:32,841
KING JR.: A subject that,
despite this being my first
668
00:42:32,841 --> 00:42:37,304
time at your pulpit,
I have no doubt that we share
669
00:42:37,304 --> 00:42:38,722
a unique commonality.
670
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:40,015
WOMAN: Right.
MAN: All right.
671
00:42:40,015 --> 00:42:41,433
WOMAN: Okay.
672
00:42:41,433 --> 00:42:42,810
KING JR.: The subject
of who we are.
673
00:42:42,810 --> 00:42:44,103
MAN: All right, yes, yeah.
674
00:42:44,103 --> 00:42:45,187
WOMAN: Right, who we are.
675
00:42:45,187 --> 00:42:48,274
KING JR.: And who we are
is God's glory personified.
676
00:42:48,274 --> 00:42:50,359
ALL: Yes, yes.
677
00:42:52,861 --> 00:42:54,405
KING JR.: When I
look out at you,
678
00:42:55,281 --> 00:42:56,949
I see we are
mothers and fathers.
679
00:42:56,949 --> 00:42:58,033
MAN: Yeah.
680
00:42:58,033 --> 00:42:59,451
KING JR.: We are
sisters and brothers.
681
00:42:59,451 --> 00:43:00,536
WOMAN: Yes.
MAN: Yeah.
682
00:43:00,536 --> 00:43:01,620
MAN: Yes, we are.
WOMAN: Yes, we are.
683
00:43:01,620 --> 00:43:02,788
KING JR.: Men and women.
684
00:43:02,788 --> 00:43:04,498
But if we let others
tell it, we are slaves.
685
00:43:05,874 --> 00:43:07,209
We are second-class.
686
00:43:08,460 --> 00:43:12,214
We are agitators banging
at the door of segregation,
687
00:43:12,214 --> 00:43:14,842
asking to be let into
the house of equality.
688
00:43:14,842 --> 00:43:17,761
Well, in this moment,
I say we stop asking and
689
00:43:17,761 --> 00:43:18,846
we start demanding.
690
00:43:18,846 --> 00:43:19,930
MAN: All right.
ALL: Yeah, yes.
691
00:43:22,182 --> 00:43:25,352
KING JR.: In this moment,
we say equality is not a dirty
692
00:43:25,352 --> 00:43:28,772
word whispered in the
valley of despair but screamed
693
00:43:28,772 --> 00:43:30,482
from the peaks of prosperity.
694
00:43:30,482 --> 00:43:31,692
ALL: Yes, yes.
695
00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:35,404
KING JR.: In this moment, we
soar among the winds of change.
696
00:43:35,404 --> 00:43:36,488
- In this moment.
- MAN: Yeah, yeah.
697
00:43:36,488 --> 00:43:39,199
KING JR.: We will demand
change no matter what we face
698
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:41,368
because we have
righteousness on our side.
699
00:43:41,368 --> 00:43:42,453
MAN: All right,
all right, all right.
700
00:43:42,453 --> 00:43:44,663
KING JR.: Because we
have love on our side.
701
00:43:44,663 --> 00:43:47,082
And because we have
God on our side.
702
00:43:47,082 --> 00:43:49,043
MAN: All right. Hallelujah.
703
00:43:49,043 --> 00:43:50,878
ALL: Yes.
704
00:43:50,878 --> 00:43:53,297
(applause)
705
00:44:13,734 --> 00:44:14,735
CORETTA: Yes!
706
00:44:18,614 --> 00:44:22,117
DIRECTOR: Coretta, congratulations.
707
00:44:23,869 --> 00:44:25,996
We've got a lot of work to do
before our first performance,
708
00:44:25,996 --> 00:44:27,956
but you deserve to celebrate.
709
00:44:28,874 --> 00:44:30,000
You earned this.
710
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,710
CORETTA: Thank you, truly.
711
00:44:31,710 --> 00:44:32,836
This is amazing.
712
00:44:33,587 --> 00:44:36,924
I was just wondering,
what is the asterisk for?
713
00:44:38,801 --> 00:44:40,135
DIRECTOR: Some of our
performances will be in
714
00:44:40,135 --> 00:44:42,429
Southern cities, and
because you're a Negro,
715
00:44:42,429 --> 00:44:44,973
for those shows, your
understudy will fill in.
716
00:44:46,392 --> 00:44:48,143
CORETTA: But most of the
shows are in the South.
717
00:44:49,103 --> 00:44:50,145
DIRECTOR: I am sorry.
718
00:44:51,021 --> 00:44:53,399
Until the law is changed,
we have to abide by it.
719
00:44:59,446 --> 00:45:00,531
CORETTA: I got the part.
720
00:45:01,865 --> 00:45:03,534
KING JR.: Oh, Corrie.
721
00:45:04,702 --> 00:45:07,287
That's, that's great.
722
00:45:07,287 --> 00:45:08,372
CORETTA: Thank you, baby.
723
00:45:16,130 --> 00:45:18,924
KING JR.: There's something
I need to tell you.
724
00:45:18,924 --> 00:45:20,092
CORETTA: Uh-hmm.
725
00:45:21,468 --> 00:45:23,762
KING JR.: I got offered
a, a head pastor position.
726
00:45:23,762 --> 00:45:24,888
CORETTA: Oh, where?
727
00:45:26,014 --> 00:45:28,726
KING JR.: At Dexter,
in Montgomery.
728
00:45:32,688 --> 00:45:35,274
CORETTA: I thought it
was just a guest sermon.
729
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:37,985
KING JR.: I thought so too
but it turned out it wasn't.
730
00:45:42,948 --> 00:45:46,493
Corrie, I know this
wasn't part of our plan.
731
00:45:47,828 --> 00:45:49,747
I know this
may sound abrupt,
732
00:45:52,291 --> 00:45:53,917
but I think I wanna do this.
733
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:59,173
Listen, I know how hard
you've worked on your
734
00:45:59,173 --> 00:46:01,467
music career and
how far you've come.
735
00:46:01,467 --> 00:46:04,052
I know there'll be other
pastor opportunities for me,
736
00:46:04,762 --> 00:46:07,431
but if things aren't right
for Negroes in the South,
737
00:46:07,431 --> 00:46:10,017
they aren't gonna be right
anywhere in this country.
738
00:46:19,610 --> 00:46:20,611
Corrie,
739
00:46:23,864 --> 00:46:26,658
we both have been
afforded opportunities to go up
740
00:46:26,658 --> 00:46:30,454
North and experience what
America could be for Negroes.
741
00:46:30,454 --> 00:46:34,082
We need to, to pay
that forward and take these
742
00:46:34,082 --> 00:46:36,919
educations we've gotten and
make where we come from better.
743
00:46:36,919 --> 00:46:38,212
And it starts with us, Corrie.
744
00:46:38,212 --> 00:46:40,380
CORETTA: I agree.
We should go to Montgomery.
745
00:46:43,342 --> 00:46:47,429
The shadow of Jim Crow
evil looms over everything.
746
00:46:48,138 --> 00:46:49,681
It's not gonna change itself.
747
00:46:49,681 --> 00:46:50,933
Someone has to change it.
748
00:46:52,601 --> 00:46:54,269
KING JR.: I think I
can be that someone,
749
00:46:55,729 --> 00:46:58,524
but I need you by my
side when I do it.
750
00:47:00,275 --> 00:47:03,111
Something remarkable is
unfolding in the South.
751
00:47:03,111 --> 00:47:04,196
I can feel it.
752
00:47:04,947 --> 00:47:07,324
CORETTA: Then it's best
we be on hand to witness it.
753
00:47:08,367 --> 00:47:09,868
KING JR.: We will do
more than witness it.
754
00:47:11,370 --> 00:47:12,412
We will lead it.
755
00:47:13,580 --> 00:47:14,915

You came all this way to
Harlem and didn't tell me?

MALCOLM X: Well,
it was unexpected.
767
00:48:42,711 --> 00:48:43,837
Reginald, we need to talk.

769
00:49:08,153 --> 00:49:10,906
MALCOLM X: On behalf of
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
770
00:49:13,367 --> 00:49:17,329
your duties within the Nation
will no longer be required.
771
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:24,002
From this point forward, your
title as Head Minister here in
772
00:49:24,002 --> 00:49:28,006
Harlem is in recess and
will be further discussed
773
00:49:28,006 --> 00:49:29,466
within our organization.
774
00:49:31,635 --> 00:49:34,846
It's incumbent upon me to
inform you to remove your
775
00:49:34,846 --> 00:49:36,682
belongings immediately.
776
00:49:36,682 --> 00:49:38,350
LITTLE: Under what grounds?
777
00:49:42,646 --> 00:49:45,315
MALCOLM X: Confirmation of
an inappropriate relationship.
778
00:49:46,316 --> 00:49:48,902
LITTLE: And you believe it?
779
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:55,993
I didn't do what they're saying
or whatever they're saying.
780
00:49:58,912 --> 00:50:01,498
And I don't need
to defend myself,
781
00:50:02,582 --> 00:50:04,126
especially to family.
782
00:50:05,502 --> 00:50:07,754
This, this is all insane.
783
00:50:07,754 --> 00:50:09,381
MALCOLM X: The Honorable
Elijah Muhammad would not
784
00:50:09,381 --> 00:50:10,465
make a mistake.
785
00:50:10,465 --> 00:50:12,175
LITTLE: And you're gonna
believe him over me?
786
00:50:12,175 --> 00:50:15,137
If it wasn't for me, you,
you wouldn't be in the Nation.

Don't, don't, don't,
don't do this.

CLYDE X: Brother Reginald,
