00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:09,217
They took away my mother.

00:00:10,468 --> 00:00:11,886
MUHAMMAD: I look
forward to your future,
5
00:00:11,886 --> 00:00:14,639

will do growing the Nation.

00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:15,932
MALCOLM X: I was
just named minister of

00:00:15,932 --> 00:00:18,143
Temple No. 7 in Harlem.
8
00:00:18,143 --> 00:00:20,895
KING JR.: All I'll ever
be is Daddy King's son.

00:00:20,895 --> 00:00:22,439
I wanna be more than that.
10
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,733
We will demand change
no matter what we face.

SISTER GRACE: Sister Betty,
86
00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:59,549
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad
has provided an answer to the
87
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:01,926
central question
amongst us all.
88
00:05:01,926 --> 00:05:03,845
Who is the Original Man?
89
00:05:03,845 --> 00:05:06,180
BETTY: The Original Man
is the Asiatic Black Man,
90
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:07,849
the maker, the owner,
91
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:10,059
the cream of the planet Earth,
God of the Universe.
92
00:05:10,059 --> 00:05:11,394
The light of the sun.
93
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,897
In fact, the Black Man
existed before the sun.
94
00:05:14,897 --> 00:05:17,942
Therefore, he is the maker
and owner of the sun.
95
00:05:17,942 --> 00:05:19,694
SISTER GRACE:
Yet you are a woman.
96
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:21,362
How do you respond?
97
00:05:21,362 --> 00:05:23,197
BETTY: When we say man,
we mean woman,
98
00:05:23,197 --> 00:05:24,949
because we can't say
man without woman.
99
00:05:24,949 --> 00:05:27,827
Woman is the origin
that man evolved.
100
00:05:27,827 --> 00:05:29,245
As we are taught,
101
00:05:29,245 --> 00:05:31,998
we are all intertwined
in the light of Allah.
102
00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:35,793
{\an8}MALCOLM X: The most
disrespected person in America
103
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:38,212
{\an8}is the Black woman.
104
00:05:38,212 --> 00:05:39,630
MEMBER: Yeah.
105
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:42,300
MALCOLM X: The most
unprotected person in America
106
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:45,345
is the Black woman.
107
00:05:46,387 --> 00:05:50,183
The most neglected person
in America is the Black woman.
108
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:55,146
{\an8}The honorable Elijah Muhammed
teaches us to
109
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:59,192
{\an8}respect, and protect our women.
110
00:06:00,651 --> 00:06:04,155
{\an8}And the only time
we get real violent...
111
00:06:04,155 --> 00:06:05,323
{\an8}MEMBER: Uh-hmm.
112
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:09,827
{\an8}MALCOLM X: Is when someone
tries to harm our women.
113
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:11,412
{\an8}I know you know.
114
00:06:14,123 --> 00:06:18,002
{\an8}We will kill you
for our woman.
115
00:06:18,002 --> 00:06:19,587
{\an8}Now, I'm speaking plainly now.
116
00:06:20,671 --> 00:06:23,925
{\an8}We will kill you for our woman!
117
00:06:25,718 --> 00:06:29,055
{\an8}And we believe that if the
White man will do whatever is
118
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:33,267
{\an8}necessary to see that his woman
gets respect and protection,
119
00:06:33,267 --> 00:06:37,063
{\an8}then you and I will never be
recognized as men until we
120
00:06:37,063 --> 00:06:40,983
stand up like men and pay
the same penalty on the man
121
00:06:40,983 --> 00:06:42,944
who puts his filthy hands out,
122
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:44,862
in the direction
of our women.
123
00:06:47,115 --> 00:06:48,116
And it all starts here.
124
00:06:49,742 --> 00:06:54,288
{\an8}With our women of the Nation
and the power instilled in each
125
00:06:54,288 --> 00:06:55,581
{\an8}and every one of you,
126
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:01,170
{\an8}I promise, we promise,
127
00:07:02,964 --> 00:07:07,593
{\an8}to honor your commitment with
the strength that you deserve.

132

to focus on the wrong things?
133
00:07:28,614 --> 00:07:31,617
{\an8}SISTER GRACE: I swear, Betty,
you could be an ice cube as cold you are.
134
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:33,161
Loosen up.
135
00:07:33,161 --> 00:07:35,079

should expect nothing less.

{\an8}A pleasure to see you.
144
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,439
{\an8}But I'm curious,
what did you think?
145
00:08:02,732 --> 00:08:03,774
{\an8}SISTER GRACE: I'm sorry.
146
00:08:03,774 --> 00:08:04,984
{\an8}I didn't make a
proper introduction.
147
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:07,737
{\an8}This is Sister Betty X.
148
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:09,822
{\an8}She's one of our new
members of the Temple.
149
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:11,157
{\an8}MALCOLM X: Oh, I know.
150
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:13,201
{\an8}I make it a point to
clock each person who comes
151
00:08:13,201 --> 00:08:14,285
{\an8}through our doors.
152
00:08:15,536 --> 00:08:18,539
{\an8}Sister Betty, Praise to Allah
for your choice to
153
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:19,624
{\an8}join the Nation.
154
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:20,750
{\an8}It's a pleasure to
finally meet you.
155
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:22,376
{\an8}BETTY X: Hmm, finally?
156
00:08:22,376 --> 00:08:25,129
{\an8}I didn't realize I
was being watched.
157
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:27,673
{\an8}MALCOLM X: Well, you have
attended my last five speeches.
158
00:08:28,799 --> 00:08:31,469
{\an8}It'd be nearly impossible
for you not to stand out.
159
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:33,429
Considering...
160
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:38,726
BETTY X: Um, I thought
your speech was moving.
161
00:08:39,477 --> 00:08:40,728
MALCOLM X: Hmm.
162
00:08:40,728 --> 00:08:42,730
BETTY X: We need more men
like you in our communities.
163
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:45,858
But it would've been
nice to have more people

165
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:48,236

167

Harlem is a tough
cookie to crack.

But, um, any advice
you can give?
169

00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:07,380
MALCOLM X: Of course.
174
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,006
Have Brother Hinton
come with us.
175
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:14,262
All right, Sister Betty.
176
00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:18,516
Um, I look forward
to seeing you soon.
177
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:21,602
Okay.
178
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:24,897
SISTER GRACE: Girl,
he's been watching you.
179
00:09:24,897 --> 00:09:26,274
(Betty X laughs)
180
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:30,820
ROBINSON: Chief Sellers,
what are your thoughts on the boycott?
181
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:32,363
{\an8}ABERNATHY (as Sellers):
Well, thank you, ma'am.
182
00:09:32,363 --> 00:09:35,324
{\an8}Most Nigras wanna ride
but are intimidated by the
183
00:09:35,324 --> 00:09:37,952
{\an8}goon squads under the
command of the Negro elites.
184
00:09:37,952 --> 00:09:39,036
KING JR.: Hmm.
185
00:09:39,036 --> 00:09:42,081
ROBINSON: Oh, Dr. King,
as MIA President.
186
00:09:42,081 --> 00:09:43,249
KING JR.: Uh-hmm.
187
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:45,126
ROBINSON: Are you at all
concerned by these comments?
188
00:09:45,126 --> 00:09:46,502
KING JR.: Oh, concerned, no.
189
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:49,505
I am impressed we could
be both goons and elite in
190
00:09:49,505 --> 00:09:51,257
the same breath, however.
191
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:55,469
NIXON: I just talked to
my contact at the paper.
192
00:09:55,469 --> 00:09:56,554
KING JR.: Oh.
193
00:09:56,554 --> 00:09:57,847
NIXON: That son of a
bitch Mayor is banning
194
00:09:57,847 --> 00:09:59,473
all the Black-owned taxis
from giving low-fare rides
195
00:09:59,473 --> 00:10:00,850
- to the boycotters.
- ROBINSON: What?
196
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,268
KING JR.: Well, without taxis,
197
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:04,186
we have nearly
40,000 Negro bus riders
198
00:10:04,186 --> 00:10:05,771
without transportation.
199
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:07,607
NIXON: We also ain't gonna
have a boycott no more neither.
200
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:09,734
ABERNATHY: Because of the press
coverage we've been getting,
201
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:11,986
we've outdone expectations
for fundraising.
202
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:15,281
With the money, we could buy
a fleet of 20 station wagons
203
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:16,699
to help the boycott.
204
00:10:16,699 --> 00:10:18,326
KING JR.: We do that and
we run the risk of being sued
205
00:10:18,326 --> 00:10:20,036
for setting up an illegal
transit system.
206
00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:21,203
ROBINSON: And what's next?
207
00:10:21,203 --> 00:10:23,456
They'll arrest us all for
not getting on the buses?
208
00:10:25,541 --> 00:10:28,294
NIXON: You joke, but you all
need to start wrapping your
209
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:31,130
minds around the fact that the
Montgomery city government will
210
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:32,923
use any means at its disposal,
211
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:34,717
including legal action
against us,
212
00:10:34,717 --> 00:10:36,260
to stop this boycott.
213
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:37,511
KING JR.: There is another way.
214
00:10:37,511 --> 00:10:41,182
We organize a carpool similar
to the one the reverend I spoke
215
00:10:41,182 --> 00:10:42,933
to down in Baton Rouge did.
216
00:10:44,602 --> 00:10:46,771
Car owners volunteer
their cars,
217
00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:48,606
drivers volunteer to drive.
218
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:51,317
No money exchanges
hands directly.
219
00:10:52,276 --> 00:10:55,946
But passengers can donate
to the MIA, and in turn,
220
00:10:55,946 --> 00:10:59,158
the MIA could subsidize
the costs of the carpool.
221
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:00,368
ROBINSON: That sounds great.
222
00:11:00,368 --> 00:11:01,452
ABERNATHY: You're onto something now.
KING JR.: Yeah.
223
00:11:02,703 --> 00:11:03,871
NIXON: Martin, don't forget,
224
00:11:03,871 --> 00:11:05,831
we have negotiations in
a few days with the Mayor.
225
00:11:05,831 --> 00:11:08,834
This community is
desperate for results.
226
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,628
KING JR.: And we
intend to come through.
227
00:11:10,628 --> 00:11:11,712
NIXON: Well, good.
228
00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:17,134
But just know we not
in need of a hero here.
229
00:11:17,134 --> 00:11:19,679
All we need to do is to
stand behind our demands.
230
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,805
Nothing more, Martin.
231
00:11:21,889 --> 00:11:23,140
You cannot blow this.
232
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:36,529
THURMOND: So I tell him,
there are two kinds of stupid
233
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:40,199
in this world, and son,
you're both of 'em.
234
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:44,161
You made it.
235
00:11:44,161 --> 00:11:47,248
Senator, you are in
for a real treat.
236
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:50,376
Wendall here is the best
barber in all of DC.
237
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:52,962
SPARKMAN: Well, I'm not
looking for a haircut.
238
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:54,505
THURMOND: Let me guess,
when you're on the Hill,
239
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:56,340
you go to that shop
in the basement.
240
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:59,343
Old fella named Calhoun runs it.
241
00:11:59,343 --> 00:12:02,012
Man's in his 70s
and has the shakes.
242
00:12:02,012 --> 00:12:03,889
I wouldn't trust
him to cut a fart.
243
00:12:05,015 --> 00:12:06,767
Whenever I'm feeling homesick,
244
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:10,020
I stop in for a
little bull session and a cut
245
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:11,313
from Wendall here.
246
00:12:11,313 --> 00:12:13,941
Even if it's packed, he
always finds a seat for me.
247
00:12:14,608 --> 00:12:19,989
I wanted to talk
about this nasty boycott
248
00:12:19,989 --> 00:12:21,866
business in Montgomery.
249
00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:25,286
SPARKMAN: This seems
hardly the appropriate place
250
00:12:25,286 --> 00:12:27,663
for that conversation,
Senator Thurmond.
251
00:12:27,663 --> 00:12:29,415
THURMOND: You are the
senator from Alabama,
252
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,792
so it feels mighty
appropriate to me.
253
00:12:31,792 --> 00:12:33,919
And with it being
an election year,
254
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,380
I'm sure the voters in
your state would agree.
255
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:42,928
Now, seems somebody
ought to muzzle that uppity
256
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:47,099
boycott spokesman,
Reverend Martin Luther King.
257
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:52,646
SPARKMAN: Folks up north
growing more sympathetic
258
00:12:52,646 --> 00:12:53,731
to their cause.
259
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:59,111
Now removing him could
mean more support for them.
260
00:12:59,111 --> 00:13:02,448
THURMOND: There's another
way to stop their momentum.
261
00:13:03,574 --> 00:13:04,658
You distract them.
262
00:13:04,658 --> 00:13:07,369
There's nothing those people
hate more than a racist.
263
00:13:07,369 --> 00:13:09,205
So why not give them
one to focus on?
264
00:13:09,997 --> 00:13:12,208
I have friends on
the Citizens Council.
265
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:14,168
I'd be happy to reach out.
266
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,508
I've taken the initiative
of drafting the manifesto.
267
00:13:22,551 --> 00:13:26,555
I want to proclaim our right
to use any and all means of
268
00:13:26,555 --> 00:13:30,226
resistance against further
federal infringement of our
269
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:34,480
right to keep the South free,
separate and White.
270
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:38,859
I'm calling for the signature
of every Southern Democrat and
271
00:13:38,859 --> 00:13:40,653
I'd like yours to
be the very first.
272
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:42,488
SPARKMAN: There's some
pretty strong language in here.
273
00:13:43,405 --> 00:13:45,991
You'll be seen as some
crazy White supremacist.
274
00:13:47,618 --> 00:13:49,829
THURMOND: I am not
a White supremacist.
275
00:13:51,539 --> 00:13:53,582
I'm a civil rights activist.
276
00:13:56,418 --> 00:13:58,796
Let's start
distributing it today.
277
00:13:58,796 --> 00:14:01,048
The sooner we get
this out there,
278
00:14:01,048 --> 00:14:03,050
the better it'll
be for all of us.
279
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:05,845
Even Wendall here
will be better off.
280
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:06,929
Ain't that right?
281
00:14:06,929 --> 00:14:08,097
WENDALL: Yes sir.
282
00:14:08,722 --> 00:14:09,849
MALCOLM X: All grace to Allah.
283
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,016
MEMBER: Thank you.
284
00:14:14,478 --> 00:14:16,522
MALCOLM X: It's
Brother Hinton, right?
285
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:18,774
JOHNSON: Yes sir.
286
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:20,109
MALCOLM X: How old are you?
287
00:14:20,109 --> 00:14:21,193
JOHNSON: 17.
288
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:23,487
MALCOLM X: How long
were you inside?
289
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:29,034
Listen, for months
after I was released,
290
00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:30,578
I had the hardest time sleeping.
291
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:36,041
I bought new mattresses,
new covers,
292
00:14:37,501 --> 00:14:40,337
even got one of those
fancy feather pillows.
293
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:43,007
Nothing worked.
294
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:48,304
I guess one night
it was real hot.
295
00:14:48,304 --> 00:14:50,472
I'm talking devil
in your bedroom.
296
00:14:51,348 --> 00:14:52,433
Hot.
297
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,144
So I decided to leave
all the windows open.
298
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:57,563
Man, it was loud.
299
00:14:58,439 --> 00:15:02,651
The thing is I slept
like a baby that night.
300
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:06,280
I'd grown used to the
noise in prison and life on
301
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,948
the outside was too quiet.
302
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:13,329
There was no noise to
drown out your thoughts,
303
00:15:15,122 --> 00:15:16,206
which aren't always good.
304
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:18,500
JOHNSON: Still have
those thoughts?
305
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:20,502
MALCOLM X: No.
306
00:15:21,962 --> 00:15:24,214
I've also slid with my
windows open ever since.
307
00:15:26,383 --> 00:15:28,677
Never be ashamed
of your prison past.
308
00:15:30,346 --> 00:15:33,015
That's what brought you
to Allah just like me.
309
00:15:33,015 --> 00:15:36,060
CLYDE X: Hinton, why
don't you head on inside
310
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:37,895
and start bringing in
the kitchen supplies?
311
00:15:44,985 --> 00:15:48,072
Brother Minister, I hear
everyone in Chicago has been
312
00:15:48,072 --> 00:15:49,949
very impressed with the
work you've done so far
313
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:51,200
here in Harlem.
314
00:15:52,534 --> 00:15:53,535
But there is one thing.
315
00:15:54,328 --> 00:15:55,371
MALCOLM X: What is it?
316
00:15:56,246 --> 00:15:57,748
CLYDE X: As minister,
not only do you have
317
00:15:57,748 --> 00:15:59,208
a responsibility
to grow the temple,
318
00:16:00,584 --> 00:16:02,294
but you also have a duty
to represent it as well.
319
00:16:03,170 --> 00:16:05,255
Being an unwed man gives
off the wrong impression.
320
00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:07,675
You understand what I'm saying?
321
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:21,939
KING JR.: Jo Ann, I
don't recognize him.
322
00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:24,274
ROBINSON: Doubt you
would without the white hood.
323
00:16:24,274 --> 00:16:26,235
That's Luther Ingalls,
head of the local
324
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:27,528
White Citizens' Council.
325
00:16:29,738 --> 00:16:32,658
KING JR.: We were under the
impression that today's meeting
326
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:35,327
was between the MIA and the
city commissioners only.
327
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:38,205
I'd be remiss if I didn't
officially I'd object to the
328
00:16:38,205 --> 00:16:39,707
White Citizens' Council's
329
00:16:39,707 --> 00:16:41,125
invitation to
these negotiations.
330
00:16:41,917 --> 00:16:44,003
INGALLS: We are merely
concerned interest group
331
00:16:45,045 --> 00:16:46,130
the same as the MIA.
332
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:47,589
KING JR.: Let me be clear.
333
00:16:47,589 --> 00:16:49,967
There are no comparisons
between us and you.
334
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:52,052
INGALLS: You all have a
definitive point of view,
335
00:16:52,886 --> 00:16:53,887
so do we.
336
00:16:53,887 --> 00:16:55,431
KING JR.: But your
point of view is backed by
337
00:16:55,431 --> 00:16:56,807
hate and violence.
338
00:16:56,807 --> 00:16:59,309
GAYLE: But it was you,
Mr. King that arrived here
339
00:16:59,309 --> 00:17:03,522
already had inflicted damage
on us with your boycott...
340
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:05,649
KING JR.: And what do you
call the demeaning and vile
341
00:17:05,649 --> 00:17:07,276
treatment of
Negro women like
342
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:09,319
Rosa Parks, Claudette Colvin,
343
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,072
Susie McDonald, Aurelia Browder,
Mary Louise Smith,
344
00:17:12,072 --> 00:17:13,782
and so many others
on your city buses...
345
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:16,035
Business as usual?
346
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:19,329
GAYLE: We call it
enforcing the law.
347
00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:20,622
KING JR.: Then the laws
are just as backwards as
348
00:17:20,622 --> 00:17:21,999
the men enforcing them.
349
00:17:21,999 --> 00:17:25,794
SELLERS: Seems the only
business going on here is you
350
00:17:25,794 --> 00:17:29,089
looking to make a name for
yourself so you can go out and
351
00:17:29,089 --> 00:17:30,507
peacock for the cameras.
352
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:36,221
GAYLE: Does he really
speak for all of you?
353
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:38,766
ABERNATHY: Mr. Mayor,
Dr. King speaks for me,
354
00:17:38,766 --> 00:17:42,227
the MIA and every
single Negro boycotting
355
00:17:42,227 --> 00:17:43,312
those empty buses outside.
356
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:44,396
GAYLE: Uh-hmm.
357
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:49,193
That may be, but we
will not be bullied.
358
00:17:51,528 --> 00:17:52,863
These negotiations are over.
359
00:18:06,335 --> 00:18:08,045
NIXON: What in
the hell was that?
360
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:12,299
You just made any
chance of them giving us what
361
00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:13,634
we want impossible.
362
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:15,594
ABERNATHY: Watch it
E.D. Martin only did what he
363
00:18:15,594 --> 00:18:16,678
thought was right.
364
00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:19,056
NIXON: Exactly what
he thought was right.
365
00:18:20,307 --> 00:18:22,101
I knew your inexperience
was going to be a problem.
366
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,104
I can't believe it.
367
00:18:28,065 --> 00:18:31,068
The goal here was
to end the boycott,
368
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:32,236
not change the world.
369
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:40,786
JUANITA: You know what?
370
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:42,246
- Stop being stressed out.
- ABERNATHY: Can we help you?
371
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:45,541
RUSTIN: Yes. Coffee, please.
372
00:18:45,541 --> 00:18:48,043
Two sugars with just
a tickle of lemon.
373
00:18:48,836 --> 00:18:51,630
My drive from New York
was quite long.
374
00:18:53,006 --> 00:18:54,716
KING JR.: I'm sorry.
Who are you?
375
00:18:56,593 --> 00:19:00,430
RUSTIN: Bayard Rustin.
376
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:03,392
CORETTA: It's a
pleasure to meet you.
377
00:19:03,392 --> 00:19:05,477
My name is
Coretta King and this is...
378
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:07,771
RUSTIN: Dr. Martin Luther King,
379
00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:10,983
I'm aware, pleased to
make your acquaintances
380
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:14,778
and you must be
Reverend Abernathy.
381
00:19:14,778 --> 00:19:15,863
That would make you...
382
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:17,239
JUANITA: Juanita Abernathy.
383
00:19:18,115 --> 00:19:20,159
What is it that brings
you to our humble city?
384
00:19:20,951 --> 00:19:24,121
CORETTA: Mr. Rustin is a
brilliant organizer, pacifist,
385
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:26,623
and well-regarded
leader in non-violence.
386
00:19:26,623 --> 00:19:30,002
RUSTIN: I was also raised
Quaker, sang the blues with
387
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:32,004
Leadbelly and on
occasion happened known
388
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:35,090
to be quite the raconteur.
389
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:37,467
CORETTA: You
may not know this,
390
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:39,678
but I met you a
long time ago when I was
391
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:41,305
at school at Antioch,
392
00:19:41,305 --> 00:19:43,307
you gave a speech entitled,
393
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:45,142
"How to Conquer Jim Crow."
394
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:48,395
You said, "That if we
desire a society where
395
00:19:48,395 --> 00:19:49,771
men are brothers,
396
00:19:49,771 --> 00:19:52,983
then we must act towards
one another with brotherhood."
397
00:19:52,983 --> 00:19:55,485
RUSTIN: I am both
flattered and impressed.
398
00:19:55,485 --> 00:19:59,156
You remembered that though
not surprised from what I have
399
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:02,201
briefly gathered about
your background Mrs. King,
400
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:05,871
it is clear that you are much
more than what you appear.
401
00:20:07,289 --> 00:20:10,042
Something I know very well.
402
00:20:11,001 --> 00:20:14,087
There are very interested
parties all across this country
403
00:20:14,087 --> 00:20:17,090
that are rooting for your
victory here in Montgomery.
404
00:20:17,090 --> 00:20:19,218
KING JR.:
Interested in what way?
405
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:23,096
RUSTIN: The victory that
you are attempting to secure
406
00:20:23,096 --> 00:20:25,891
has the potential to alter
the course of civil rights
407
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:27,017
in this country.
408
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:29,436
You do see that, don't you?
409
00:20:29,436 --> 00:20:36,235
KING JR.: What we see is a
opportunity to bring equality
410
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:39,821
into Montgomery and
desegregate the buses.
411
00:20:39,821 --> 00:20:40,989
RUSTIN: Oh, Dr. King.
412
00:20:40,989 --> 00:20:44,743
You and this boycott
have to potential to do so,
413
00:20:44,743 --> 00:20:46,245
so much more than that.
414
00:20:47,746 --> 00:20:49,373
So long as you all
don't mess it up.
415
00:20:52,876 --> 00:20:56,171
CORETTA: Mr. Rustin, would
you join us for dinner tonight?
416
00:20:57,422 --> 00:20:58,924
Tell us what you think.
417
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:01,051
RUSTIN: I'd be delighted.
418
00:21:03,887 --> 00:21:06,056
I was driving through the
countryside of Virginia,
419
00:21:06,056 --> 00:21:07,224
hot as hell.
420
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:08,892
Excuse my language.
And I thought to myself,
421
00:21:08,892 --> 00:21:12,062
if Gandhi can defeat
an entire empire without
422
00:21:12,062 --> 00:21:13,438
raising a weapon,
423
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:15,524
we can end Jim Crow
the same way.
424
00:21:15,524 --> 00:21:18,193
When people fully commit
to the non-violent movement,
425
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:20,279
it is truly unstoppable.
426
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:22,698
KING JR.: I fear at the
longer the boycott lasts,
427
00:21:22,698 --> 00:21:23,949
the weaker we get.
428
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:25,158
RUSTIN: That's where
you're wrong, brother.
429
00:21:25,158 --> 00:21:27,369
Every day someone
walks to work,
430
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:30,247
every time someone chooses
not to get on a bus,
431
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:32,040
you grow stronger.
432
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,583
That's your victory.
433
00:21:33,583 --> 00:21:35,627
CORETTA: Martin stuck
on three simple demand,
434
00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:38,046
but you think he'd ask
for the moon on a platter.
435
00:21:38,046 --> 00:21:41,508
RUSTIN: If it were easy,
everyone would do it.
436
00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:45,762
You're starting a revolution,
a Black revolution.
437
00:21:45,762 --> 00:21:46,972
It'll take time.
438
00:21:46,972 --> 00:21:48,640
KING JR.: And what if
time isn't on our side?
439
00:21:49,683 --> 00:21:52,019
Those that oppose what
we are doing will take arms
440
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:54,521
against us if we do
not consider the same.
441
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:55,689
RUSTIN: Don't.
442
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:00,569
Non-violence isn't a strategy.
443
00:22:00,569 --> 00:22:01,778
It's a way of life,
444
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:04,948
one that must be practiced
and not just preached.
445
00:22:06,199 --> 00:22:08,785
How can a leader ask others
to use it but not practice it
446
00:22:08,785 --> 00:22:10,120
in his own home?
447
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,039
That person would be a
hypocrite if you asked me.
448
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:17,169
But if applied in all aspects,
449
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:20,005
non-violence has the
power to influence not only the
450
00:22:20,005 --> 00:22:23,091
oppressed but
also the oppressor.
451
00:22:24,426 --> 00:22:27,637
He can't beat you if
he can't hurt you.
452
00:22:28,638 --> 00:22:31,516
People have been walking
since the dawn of time.
453
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,268
What are a few more weeks?
454
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:34,353
Question is...
455
00:22:35,103 --> 00:22:36,772
Do you have what
it takes to stick it out...
456
00:22:37,814 --> 00:22:39,816
Change the course of history?
457
00:22:39,816 --> 00:22:41,276
KING JR.: And I
believe that we can.
458
00:22:41,276 --> 00:22:42,778
RUSTIN: Not we. You.
459
00:22:44,237 --> 00:22:47,032
The people of this city will
follow if you show them the way.
460
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:49,701
But you can't be
afraid to do it.
461
00:22:49,701 --> 00:22:52,079
Even if it means leading
them past the point of what
462
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:53,538
they think is possible.
463
00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:56,083
KING JR.: I'm many things,
Mr. Rustin.
464
00:22:58,460 --> 00:23:00,253
But afraid is not one of them.
465
00:23:00,253 --> 00:23:01,380
RUSTIN: Good.
466
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:05,592
Because I wouldn't be here
if I thought you were.
467
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:09,805
Show them that non-violence
is the way.
468
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:21,483
(exterior traffic sounds)
469
00:23:31,535 --> 00:23:33,870
MALCOLM X: Well, well,
if it isn't you again.
470
00:23:36,456 --> 00:23:39,251
Why do I get the feeling you're
following me, Sister Betty.
471
00:23:41,294 --> 00:23:42,921
BETTY X: You'd be
so lucky, minister.
472
00:23:44,172 --> 00:23:45,340
If I'm not mistaken,
473
00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:48,051
this trip was designated
for everyone at our temple,
474
00:23:48,051 --> 00:23:49,928
including me and
my fellow sisters.
475
00:23:51,054 --> 00:23:52,139
MALCOLM X: It's true.
476
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,643
But your fellow sisters
are over there and yet
477
00:23:57,853 --> 00:23:58,937
you over here near me.
478
00:24:02,399 --> 00:24:04,693
BETTY X: I simply wanted to see that
479
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:10,240
and you just so happened to be here.
480
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:17,956
You remember the hope and
pride that Africans had after
481
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:19,040
the revolution in Ghana?
482
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:21,209
I think Africans
everywhere believe that
483
00:24:21,209 --> 00:24:22,919
that torch of freedom
would light the way
484
00:24:22,919 --> 00:24:24,087
in their own countries.
485
00:24:25,505 --> 00:24:27,174
Wonder if Black folks here
realize how heroic
486
00:24:27,174 --> 00:24:29,384
Kwame Nkrumah was in
the struggle for freedom?
487
00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:31,428
MALCOLM X: Well you know,
488
00:24:32,262 --> 00:24:35,098
he once said that
I'm not African because
489
00:24:35,098 --> 00:24:37,017
I was born in Africa,
but because...
490
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:39,311
BETTY X: Africa was born in me.
491
00:24:41,605 --> 00:24:42,856
MALCOLM X: Where are
you from, Sister Betty?
492
00:24:42,856 --> 00:24:44,107
BETTY X: Detroit.
MALCOLM X: Really?
493
00:24:44,107 --> 00:24:45,484
That's not what I heard.
494
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:47,569
If I'm correct,
you're from the South.
495
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:48,862
Tuskegee, right?
496
00:24:48,862 --> 00:24:50,864
BETTY X: So not only
am I being watched,
497
00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:53,533
but I'm also being investigated.
498
00:24:53,533 --> 00:24:55,285
What's going on here, minister?
499
00:24:55,285 --> 00:24:58,622
MALCOLM X: I'm just
curious about you, that's all.
500
00:25:00,707 --> 00:25:03,043
Don't hold it against
me for being interested.
501
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:06,546
My mother is from Grenada.
502
00:25:06,546 --> 00:25:10,008
She once hid Marcus Garvey
from the FBI when he was
503
00:25:10,008 --> 00:25:12,511
on the run from this
country's persecution.
504
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:15,805
She was also the only female
writer in his correspondence,
505
00:25:15,805 --> 00:25:16,973
the Negro World.
506
00:25:16,973 --> 00:25:19,267
BETTY X: She sounds like
an extraordinary woman.
507
00:25:20,977 --> 00:25:22,062
She must be very proud of you.
508
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:29,611
MALCOLM X: Um, so
what keeps you busy?
509
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:31,321
BETTY X: Montefiore Hospital.
510
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:35,700
I love to help people,
make my hands useful.
511
00:25:37,911 --> 00:25:39,246
I guess, I got it
from my mother.
512
00:25:40,789 --> 00:25:42,040
At some point, at least.
513
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,667
MALCOLM X: Once we leave here,
514
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:46,753
I'd like to share with you my vision
515
00:25:48,463 --> 00:25:50,090

00:38:50,786 --> 00:38:53,789
This is the biggest mass indictment
in the history of the state.
691
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:56,250
ROBINSON: Fred, when is
this going to happen?
692
00:38:56,250 --> 00:38:57,752
GRAY: Could be as
early as tomorrow.
693
00:38:57,752 --> 00:38:59,837
NIXON: I told you all,
the threat of legal action
694
00:38:59,837 --> 00:39:01,005
was a possibility.
695
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:02,840
Bastards will do anything to
cut the head off the boycott.
696
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,592
ABERNATHY: Ain't going
to be no boycott after they
697
00:39:04,592 --> 00:39:06,927
round us up and drag us in.
698
00:39:07,595 --> 00:39:09,930
RUSTIN: Have you all
considered that it might be
699
00:39:09,930 --> 00:39:13,059
a mistake waiting for the
police to come after you all?
700
00:39:16,270 --> 00:39:20,524
If I could, I'd like to suggest
a more Gandhi-like approach.
701
00:39:20,524 --> 00:39:23,569
Something along
the lines of giving your
702
00:39:23,569 --> 00:39:24,820
attacker the stick.
703
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:28,407
You have to show them that
you aren't afraid of jail.
704
00:39:29,617 --> 00:39:31,077
ROBINSON: And how
exactly do we do that?
705
00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:34,497
RUSTIN: Show them
that jail is just a place.
706
00:39:35,623 --> 00:39:37,792
Its power comes
from our fear of it.
707
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:40,086
Show them you don't fear it,
it loses its power.
708
00:39:40,086 --> 00:39:42,963
ABERNATHY: So are you
saying we turn ourselves in?
709
00:39:42,963 --> 00:39:45,257
RUSTIN: You all are
on the precipice of
710
00:39:45,257 --> 00:39:47,093
major, sweeping changes,
711
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:49,637
but you'll only get there by
galloping to the finish line,
712
00:39:49,637 --> 00:39:51,680
not cautiously
pulling on the reins.
713
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,932
You have to show them
that you're willing
714
00:39:52,932 --> 00:39:55,726
to risk everything,
even your freedom,
715
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:58,562
to keep this boycott going.
716
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:08,447
KING JR.: Bayard,
you may be right,
717
00:40:09,115 --> 00:40:11,242
but many of the folks in
this room have people
718
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:12,368
who depend on them.
719
00:40:13,577 --> 00:40:15,121
Congregations
they preside over,
720
00:40:15,121 --> 00:40:16,247
families to look after,
721
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:18,582
I can't ask them
to do this with me.
722
00:40:20,751 --> 00:40:21,836
NIXON: Well, you
ain't got to ask me.
723
00:40:22,628 --> 00:40:24,839
I'm too old and done fought
too long to be scared now.
724
00:40:24,839 --> 00:40:26,298
It ain't nothing,
not even jail,
725
00:40:27,133 --> 00:40:28,551
is going to stop me
from seeing this through.
726
00:40:32,138 --> 00:40:33,139
So I'm with you.
727
00:40:34,306 --> 00:40:35,683

744
00:41:33,908 --> 00:41:37,119
Negro citizens were informed
that their hard-fought
745
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:40,456
decision to bring
desegregation of the city buses,
746
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:43,459
finally came from the
United States Supreme Court,
747
00:41:43,459 --> 00:41:46,587
in clear and expedient language.
748
00:41:46,587 --> 00:41:49,840
Segregation on public
city buses in Montgomery
749
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,175

00:42:01,936 --> 00:42:04,730
KING JR.: I didn't realize
it until Coretta said it,
754
00:42:05,731 --> 00:42:11,570
but combatting hate with hate
only strengthens the power of
755

those who choose evil over good.
756
00:42:15,908 --> 00:42:17,159
To break this cycle,
757
00:42:17,159 --> 00:42:20,538
is it upon us to look within
ourselves for the courage
758
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:21,830
we need to do this.
759
00:42:23,123 --> 00:42:27,294

CORETTA: Well, I have a
suggestion of where to start.
765
00:42:42,268 --> 00:42:45,271
Women are the backbone
of every movement.
766
00:42:45,271 --> 00:42:48,857
We need to let them know how
powerful they can be united.
767
00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:52,111
KING JR.: You know I
recognize your power.
768
00:42:54,321 --> 00:42:58,075
But what I think would be
best is if you go to Atlanta and
769

get Yoki settled,

the immediacy of this meeting,

00:44:18,697 --> 00:44:22,242
but Brother Clyde has
informed me of the recent
790
00:44:22,242 --> 00:44:23,744
events in Harlem.
791
00:44:23,744 --> 00:44:27,456
I feel a
conversation is warranted.
792
00:44:29,958 --> 00:44:31,210
MALCOLM X: Absolutely.
793
00:44:32,795 --> 00:44:37,132
And I must start by
expressing my gratitude
794
00:44:38,133 --> 00:44:39,468
for discussing this matter,
795
00:44:39,468 --> 00:44:41,929
and gratitude that you
are in good health as well.
796
00:44:41,929 --> 00:44:43,138
MUHAMMAD: Praise to Allah.
797
00:44:43,138 --> 00:44:44,306
But please, if I may,
798
00:44:46,141 --> 00:44:47,893
you were sent to
spread the message of
799
00:44:47,893 --> 00:44:49,186
the nation to the people.
800
00:44:50,813 --> 00:44:52,523
Why the violence and discord?
801
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:55,359
MALCOLM X: Uh, you would have
to ask that of our oppressors.
802
00:44:56,568 --> 00:44:58,278
But their actions
warranted a response.
803
00:44:58,278 --> 00:44:59,822
MUHAMMAD: Which was?
MALCOLM X: Strength.
804
00:44:59,822 --> 00:45:02,574
It is the same sentiment you
instilled in me when I was at
805
00:45:02,574 --> 00:45:04,076
my lowest point
and the response that
806
00:45:04,076 --> 00:45:05,160
got their attention.
807
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,328
MUHAMMAD: And what was that?
808
00:45:12,668 --> 00:45:16,338
MALCOLM X: $70,000 to
Hinton and the nation.
809
00:45:17,715 --> 00:45:20,217
The largest settlement
in New York history.
810
00:45:23,595 --> 00:45:24,930
MUHAMMAD: This is
impressive, Malcolm,
811
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:27,349
but that's not my point.
812
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,729
Why didn't you
consult with me first?
813
00:45:32,938 --> 00:45:34,314
MALCOLM X: Your Honorable One,
814
00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:38,652
I humbly apologize for
not consulting with you.
815
00:45:39,319 --> 00:45:41,488
It is an oversight
that pains me,
816
00:45:41,488 --> 00:45:46,577
but I hope you know that
the love and devotion I have
817
00:45:46,577 --> 00:45:49,455
to you and your teachings
would never allow me to do
818
00:45:49,455 --> 00:45:51,874
anything of ill
intent towards you.
819
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,585
I do, and always will do,
820
00:45:54,585 --> 00:45:56,795
everything in power
of our Nation.
821
00:45:57,504 --> 00:46:00,257
MUHAMMAD: Our Nation,
our members,
822
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:04,136
and our message needs to
be protected at all costs.
823
00:46:04,136 --> 00:46:06,430
And within that protection,
824
00:46:06,430 --> 00:46:11,059
there comes to a need to
show strength and resolve,
825
00:46:16,482 --> 00:46:19,276
which is exactly which
has been demonstrated to
826
00:46:19,276 --> 00:46:22,446
