00:00:49,876 --> 00:00:52,126
{\an8} <i>In the 12th Congressional District
of New York,</i>

2
00:00:52,209 --> 00:00:54,334
{\an8}<i>a schoolteacher named
Mrs. Shirley Chisholm</i>

3
00:00:54,418 --> 00:00:56,043
{\an8}<i>was elected to Congress.</i>

4
00:00:56,751 --> 00:00:59,251
Running sip. Come on.

5
00:01:00,918 --> 00:01:02,626
- Shirley.

6
00:01:04,334 --> 00:01:05,376
Mm.

7
00:01:09,918 --> 00:01:11,043
I'll see you later.

8
00:01:19,876 --> 00:01:23,084
Ladies and gentlemen of the press,
fellow representatives,

9
00:01:23,168 --> 00:01:28,251
as Speaker of the House,
it is my honor to introduce

10
00:01:28,334 --> 00:01:32,209
the freshman class of the 91st Congress

11
00:01:32,293 --> 00:01:34,793
of the United States of America.

12
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,793
Gentlemen, madam, welcome to Congress.

13
00:02:09,001 --> 00:02:10,543
Congratulations.

14
00:02:10,626 --> 00:02:13,001
- Thank you.

How are you, young lady? Come here.

28
00:03:10,251 --> 00:03:12,251
She worked hard, man.
She worked real hard.

29
00:03:12,334 --> 00:03:13,834
You're going to be president?

30
00:03:13,918 --> 00:03:15,126
I'm a congressman.

31
00:03:15,209 --> 00:03:16,459
You ain't no man.

32
00:03:17,751 --> 00:03:19,293

have to move to Washington.

00:03:27,418 --> 00:03:30,209
Well... you know, she'll probably
get an apartment down there.

37
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:32,459
Conrad, Shirley,
would you mind?

38
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:37,251
You've always
been there for us.

39
00:03:37,334 --> 00:03:40,043
I remember, when we came
to Brooklyn from Puerto Rico,

40
00:03:40,126 --> 00:03:41,959
you made us feel part of the family.

41
00:03:42,043 --> 00:03:43,834
You are my family.

42
00:03:44,751 --> 00:03:47,459
This is just
the beginning, honey. The real fight?

43
00:03:47,543 --> 00:03:50,793
Men in Washington don't understand
how important the ERA is for us.

44
00:03:50,876 --> 00:03:55,168
Yes, and when the bell hits the floor,
I'll be there for you. I promise.

45
00:03:55,251 --> 00:03:56,918
And we're gonna be there for you.

46
00:03:57,793 --> 00:04:00,168
-  I appreciate you so much.
- I appreciate you too.

47
00:04:03,418 --> 00:04:05,084
-  Thank you.
- Mm.

48
00:04:06,543 --> 00:04:07,668
Let's go, Mama.

49
00:04:07,751 --> 00:04:09,751
You don't wanna
say goodbye to your sister?

50
00:04:09,834 --> 00:04:10,876
She's busy.

51
00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:12,584
Always is.

52
00:04:13,084 --> 00:04:14,501
I'm gonna say bye.

00:04:55,376 --> 00:04:58,709
Morning, Ms. Chisholm. How you doing?

65
00:04:59,209 --> 00:05:01,126
I'm feeling pretty well.

66
00:05:01,668 --> 00:05:06,626
My, imagine making 42.5 like me.

67
00:05:07,918 --> 00:05:12,959
Congressman, we've both been here
for at least a week.

68
00:05:13,043 --> 00:05:15,584
And you say that to me nearly every day.

69
00:05:15,668 --> 00:05:17,251
Nearly every day,

70
00:05:17,334 --> 00:05:21,543
I'm amazed that you're able to make
as much money as the rest of us.

71
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:24,168
Two things.

72
00:05:24,793 --> 00:05:29,168
First of all, since you can't stand
the idea of my making 42.5 like you,

73
00:05:29,251 --> 00:05:32,251
when you see me coming
into this chamber, vanish.

74
00:05:33,168 --> 00:05:36,168
Vanish so you don't have to confront me
with this 42.5.

75
00:05:36,251 --> 00:05:41,334
Secondly, you have to remember
the reason I'm here.

76
00:05:41,418 --> 00:05:42,418
I'm paving the road

77
00:05:42,501 --> 00:05:47,376
for a lot of other people looking like me
to get elected to Congress and make 42.5.

78
00:05:50,751 --> 00:05:51,793
Hm.

79
00:05:52,376 --> 00:05:53,376
Shirley.

80
00:05:54,043 --> 00:05:55,709
- Ron.
- Got a second?

81
00:05:55,793 --> 00:05:57,793
More than a second for a friendly face.

82
00:05:57,876 --> 00:06:00,584
Well, let's just see
how you feel after we talk.

83
00:06:00,668 --> 00:06:01,543
Okay.

84
00:06:01,626 --> 00:06:03,126
Want to give you a heads-up.

85
00:06:03,209 --> 00:06:05,959
They're putting together assignments
for new congressmen,

86
00:06:06,043 --> 00:06:09,626
and... they're assigning you
to the Agricultural Committee.

87
00:06:09,709 --> 00:06:10,876
Agriculture?

88
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:13,668
- Corn, wheat, cows?
- I don't know about no cows.

89
00:06:13,751 --> 00:06:14,918
I represent Brooklyn.

90
00:06:15,001 --> 00:06:17,918
What am I gonna do for the people
of Brooklyn on the Agriculture...

91
00:06:18,001 --> 00:06:19,376
I wanted Veterans' Affairs.

92
00:06:19,459 --> 00:06:21,876
I went through the same
my first year in Congress.

93
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:24,876
- Serve on the committee you're assigned.
- Agriculture? No.

94
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,418
- That's just how it is.
- Who do I have to talk to?

95
00:06:28,001 --> 00:06:30,709
Speaker McCormack makes
all the committee assignments.

96
00:06:30,793 --> 00:06:33,543
But he's Speaker of the House.

97
00:06:33,626 --> 00:06:36,126
You don't talk
to the Speaker of the House.

98
00:06:37,709 --> 00:06:38,709
You...

99
00:06:39,751 --> 00:06:40,793
Oh Lord.

100
00:06:40,876 --> 00:06:44,418
There is no good reason to appoint me
to the Agricultural Committee.

101
00:06:44,501 --> 00:06:46,793
- You're a freshman.
- I represent the 12th District.

102
00:06:46,876 --> 00:06:49,793
- Take the assignment you're given.
- People need jobs and housing.

103
00:06:49,876 --> 00:06:51,709
- That's why they voted.
- Earn seniority--

104
00:06:51,793 --> 00:06:54,418
Seniority? I don't want to hear
about seniority, John.

105
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:56,709
If you want me to fight you
on this, I'll fight you.

106
00:06:56,793 --> 00:06:59,168
You are not going to fight anyone.

107
00:06:59,251 --> 00:07:00,834
I am Speaker of the House.

108
00:07:00,918 --> 00:07:04,626
I decide who sits where,
and you better fall in line,

109
00:07:04,709 --> 00:07:07,459
or you're gonna kill your career
before it even gets started.

110
00:07:08,043 --> 00:07:10,376
Um, Andrew, here. Hold up a sec.

111
00:07:11,126 --> 00:07:13,584
<i>"Don't make a fuss,
and do as you're told."</i>

112
00:07:14,293 --> 00:07:16,626
Sh-- Shirley. Shirley. Shirley. Shirley.

113
00:07:17,376 --> 00:07:20,001
I understand your frustration,
but it's just...

114
00:07:20,084 --> 00:07:23,251
- It's a process, Shirley.
- He's the leader of my own party.

115
00:07:24,251 --> 00:07:26,709
Congresswoman from Brooklyn,
and he wants to put me on an--

116
00:07:26,793 --> 00:07:28,959
It's about seniority.

117
00:07:29,043 --> 00:07:30,293
So wait my turn?

118
00:07:30,376 --> 00:07:31,709
Not wait, but...

119
00:07:32,793 --> 00:07:35,834
Shirley, it's your first term.

120
00:07:36,584 --> 00:07:39,334
- Given time, you'll do great things.
-"Given time"?

121
00:07:39,418 --> 00:07:42,543
- I believe that. I do.
- You want to give Richard Nixon time.

122
00:07:47,001 --> 00:07:48,001
What?

123
00:07:50,001 --> 00:07:51,209
What?

124
00:07:59,376 --> 00:08:01,709
You'll find a way to fit in.

125
00:08:16,501 --> 00:08:18,709
Mac, good to see you.

126
00:08:19,376 --> 00:08:20,543
Shirley.

127
00:08:22,584 --> 00:08:23,918
Arthur.

128
00:08:24,751 --> 00:08:26,751
- Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.

129
00:08:32,918 --> 00:08:33,918
Come in.

130
00:08:34,584 --> 00:08:35,584
Thank you.

131
00:08:39,459 --> 00:08:41,668
Shirley, in October,

132
00:08:41,751 --> 00:08:47,293
you told the Committee to Elect Chisholm
in Florida if they could raise $5,000,

133
00:08:47,376 --> 00:08:50,084
that you would put your name
on the primary ballot.

134
00:08:51,251 --> 00:08:53,918
They raised almost 10,000.

135
00:09:07,626 --> 00:09:11,126
So what does that mean,
that they raised money?

136
00:09:11,876 --> 00:09:15,751
Yes, Miss Shirley.
What exactly does that mean?

137
00:09:22,876 --> 00:09:26,751
Well, I told the women
if they raised the money,

138
00:09:26,834 --> 00:09:29,626
I'd put my name on the ticket.

139
00:09:31,668 --> 00:09:33,126
I'd run for president.

140
00:09:33,834 --> 00:09:34,959
President?

141
00:09:35,043 --> 00:09:36,709
What do you want us to tell them?

142
00:09:40,751 --> 00:09:43,293
Shirley, if you run,

143
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:45,543
you can't win.

144
00:09:47,251 --> 00:09:49,334
Well, not with that attitude, I can't.

145
00:09:50,626 --> 00:09:52,293
And why can't I win?

146
00:09:52,376 --> 00:09:55,168
Besides the fact that I'm a Black woman.

147
00:09:55,251 --> 00:09:58,168
Muskie's going to run away
with the Democratic primary.

148
00:09:58,251 --> 00:10:01,084
Even if you did get in the race,
the field's too crowded.

149
00:10:01,168 --> 00:10:03,959
Muskie. McGovern's running.
Lindsay's probably gonna run.

150
00:10:04,043 --> 00:10:06,168
Humphrey'll run.
Humphrey always runs. Mills.

151
00:10:06,251 --> 00:10:08,293
Scoop Jackson, for God's sake.
George Wallace.

152
00:10:08,376 --> 00:10:10,709
And what do they all have in common?

153
00:10:10,793 --> 00:10:12,459
Middle-aged white men.

154
00:10:13,043 --> 00:10:14,793
Who is representing the Blacks,

155
00:10:14,876 --> 00:10:18,001
the women, the Chicanos,
the youth, the working class?

156
00:10:18,084 --> 00:10:20,793
Well, one thing for sure,
you don't have enough money.

157
00:10:20,876 --> 00:10:22,084
I'll fundraise.

158
00:10:22,168 --> 00:10:23,501
Off of who?

159
00:10:24,001 --> 00:10:26,834
The Chicanos, the youth,
the working class?

160
00:10:26,918 --> 00:10:29,584
They don't have any money.
Not real money.

161
00:10:30,168 --> 00:10:32,793
If you wanted to even
have a token campaign,

162
00:10:32,876 --> 00:10:35,293
you'd have to start with... three?

163
00:10:35,376 --> 00:10:36,209
Three.

164
00:10:36,293 --> 00:10:38,376
At least 300,000.

165
00:10:38,459 --> 00:10:41,209
And that would be a bare-bones,
slimmed-down campaign.

166
00:10:41,293 --> 00:10:42,334
Mac.

167
00:10:43,168 --> 00:10:47,709
I go to speak at college campuses,
and I have boys, white boys,

168
00:10:47,793 --> 00:10:51,793
coming up to me talking about,
"Mrs. Chisholm, when are you gonna do it?"

169
00:10:51,876 --> 00:10:54,334
"When are you going to run for president?"

170
00:10:54,418 --> 00:10:58,584
If there are white boys
who think I could be president,

171
00:10:58,668 --> 00:11:01,293
who think I <i>should</i> be president,

172
00:11:01,376 --> 00:11:04,084
then how am I not gonna try
for everybody else?

173
00:11:04,168 --> 00:11:06,459
Well...

174
00:11:08,209 --> 00:11:10,251
You're certainly not afraid to run.

175
00:11:11,918 --> 00:11:13,418
I ought to know.

176
00:11:16,043 --> 00:11:17,251
Mac.

177
00:11:18,126 --> 00:11:19,209
Shirley...

178
00:11:25,251 --> 00:11:27,418
What would you need from us?

179
00:11:33,209 --> 00:11:37,459
I would need you to advise me,
same as always.

180
00:11:37,543 --> 00:11:39,793
Arthur, you can oversee the money.

181
00:11:39,876 --> 00:11:44,334
Conrad can take a bit of time off work
to handle the security.

182
00:11:50,459 --> 00:11:51,376
Nothing?

183
00:11:51,876 --> 00:11:52,793
Hmm.

184
00:11:52,876 --> 00:11:53,834
Nothing?

185
00:11:54,334 --> 00:11:56,459
Nobody's got anything to say?

186
00:11:59,001 --> 00:12:00,834
You're running for president.

187
00:12:01,959 --> 00:12:03,626
What is there to say?

188
00:12:06,126 --> 00:12:07,334
"Yes."

189
00:12:08,209 --> 00:12:10,626
Tell them I said, "Yes."

190
00:12:14,168 --> 00:12:16,251
I'm gonna have to find you
a campaign manager.

191
00:12:16,751 --> 00:12:19,376
- Needs to be somebody Black.
- Needs to be somebody good.

192
00:12:19,459 --> 00:12:20,834
I have to make some calls.

193
00:12:20,918 --> 00:12:23,126
Yeah, well, I gotta raise $300,000.

194
00:12:23,209 --> 00:12:26,001
Merry Christmas to you.

195
00:12:26,084 --> 00:12:28,501
One hell of a way
to start the New Year.

196
00:12:28,584 --> 00:12:30,459
You ready to do this again?

197
00:12:30,543 --> 00:12:32,418
-  One more time.
-  Wow!

198
00:12:43,793 --> 00:12:44,918
So?

199
00:12:45,918 --> 00:12:47,043
What do <i>you</i> think?

200
00:12:47,959 --> 00:12:50,043
A little late to be asking me now.

201
00:12:50,834 --> 00:12:52,751
But it's not <i>too</i> late.

202
00:12:54,209 --> 00:12:56,043
I've never known you not to win.

203
00:12:56,126 --> 00:12:57,543
Not once.

204
00:12:58,376 --> 00:13:00,418
Why should this time be any different?

205
00:13:03,376 --> 00:13:04,918
I should get a new camera.

206
00:13:05,584 --> 00:13:07,293
You're about to make history.

207
00:13:07,376 --> 00:13:11,543
Whatever you get, make sure it's used,
and make sure it's cheap.

208
00:13:35,334 --> 00:13:36,543
Robert?

209
00:13:37,626 --> 00:13:38,751
Robert!

210
00:13:38,834 --> 00:13:40,501
How are you, Mrs. C?

211
00:13:40,584 --> 00:13:43,168
Look at you. What is all that?

212
00:13:43,251 --> 00:13:46,334
Uh, well, you know.
I'm not a congressional aide anymore. So--

213
00:13:46,418 --> 00:13:48,584
So you went and got all hip on me.

214
00:13:48,668 --> 00:13:50,584
-  I suppose I did.

215
00:13:50,668 --> 00:13:52,459
Yeah, it's been a little while.

216
00:13:53,126 --> 00:13:55,918
<i>I would have to say
that the thing that I remember most,</i>

217
00:13:56,001 --> 00:13:57,668
a first-year congressman,

218
00:13:57,751 --> 00:14:02,543
{\an8}and you forced the Speaker to give you
a different committee assignment.

219
00:14:02,626 --> 00:14:04,584
I mean, how do you even...

220
00:14:05,293 --> 00:14:08,209
Just don't ever accept things
the way they are.

221
00:14:08,293 --> 00:14:09,709
Mrs. C, I gotta tell you,

222
00:14:11,376 --> 00:14:14,293
interning for you
is one of the most memorable experiences

223
00:14:14,376 --> 00:14:15,584
that I've ever had.

224
00:14:16,084 --> 00:14:18,043
I appreciate it. I do.

225
00:14:19,001 --> 00:14:22,501
And I understand you're doing
some impressive things at Cornell.

226
00:14:22,584 --> 00:14:24,584
Elected to the Board of Regents.

227
00:14:24,668 --> 00:14:26,668
Yeah, I'm just a student representative.

228
00:14:26,751 --> 00:14:28,501
The first ever.

229
00:14:29,334 --> 00:14:31,793
Robert, a bit of advice?

230
00:14:31,876 --> 00:14:33,001
Don't be humble.

231
00:14:33,084 --> 00:14:37,084
Humility in successful people
comes off as its own kind of arrogance.

232
00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:39,418
I don't know that I'm a successful person.

233
00:14:39,501 --> 00:14:41,209
- Robert.

234
00:14:42,126 --> 00:14:43,501
Okay. Yes.

235
00:14:45,043 --> 00:14:46,709
Yes. Understood.

236
00:14:46,793 --> 00:14:47,668
Hm.

237
00:14:50,334 --> 00:14:53,876
So, I have something I want to tell you.

238
00:14:55,126 --> 00:14:57,334
I am running for president.

239
00:14:59,876 --> 00:15:01,459
Of the United States?

240
00:15:04,168 --> 00:15:05,126
Holy...

241
00:15:06,001 --> 00:15:09,126
That's... I mean, that's...
Right the hell on, Mrs. C.

242
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:10,668
I mean, that's... that's great.

243
00:15:10,751 --> 00:15:14,418
You would be the most amazing president
that this country has ever seen.

244
00:15:14,501 --> 00:15:17,834
I mean, wow. That...
If there's anything I can do to help...

245
00:15:17,918 --> 00:15:20,376
Well, there is.

246
00:15:21,126 --> 00:15:24,376
I need you to be
my national student coordinator.

247
00:15:25,001 --> 00:15:26,001
I'm so... What?

248
00:15:26,084 --> 00:15:28,418
Overseeing all the student organizations

249
00:15:28,501 --> 00:15:31,668
affiliated with the campaign
in the states where I'm on the ballot.

250
00:15:31,751 --> 00:15:33,543
- Okay.
- Putting together campus rallies.

251
00:15:33,626 --> 00:15:35,251
Well, Mrs. C, um...

252
00:15:35,876 --> 00:15:36,834
I... I can't.

253
00:15:36,918 --> 00:15:39,043
I don't like the word "can't."

254
00:15:39,126 --> 00:15:40,668
Yes, I know. But I...

255
00:15:41,168 --> 00:15:43,918
Robert, this is the first year

256
00:15:44,001 --> 00:15:47,168
18-year-olds will be able to vote
in a national election.

257
00:15:47,751 --> 00:15:50,751
To get them to vote, they need to know

258
00:15:51,293 --> 00:15:53,668
that using their vote
can make a difference.

259
00:15:54,418 --> 00:15:56,334
<i>National</i> coordinator?

260
00:15:56,418 --> 00:15:58,043
I mean, I just turned 21.

261
00:15:58,709 --> 00:16:01,459
Old enough to be fighting
and dying in Vietnam.

262
00:16:02,626 --> 00:16:05,376
I mean, it's the middle
of the school year, and I can't...

263
00:16:05,459 --> 00:16:06,543
Mmm.

264
00:16:07,668 --> 00:16:10,459
Well, I mean, I... I...
I have to call the university.

265
00:16:10,543 --> 00:16:13,168
I mean... I mean, I gotta call my parents.

266
00:16:18,584 --> 00:16:23,584
Should we maybe knock on the door
and tell Mrs. Chisholm I've arrived?

267
00:16:24,168 --> 00:16:26,918
She knows we're waiting.
We should let her finish her lunch.

268
00:16:27,918 --> 00:16:28,918
New camera?

269
00:16:29,418 --> 00:16:31,001
Yeah, it's like new.

270
00:16:37,043 --> 00:16:38,293
Thank you.

271
00:16:38,376 --> 00:16:39,751
Sorry to keep you waiting.

272
00:16:39,834 --> 00:16:40,751
Not at all.

273
00:16:41,251 --> 00:16:43,459
Shirley, Stanley Townsend.

274
00:16:43,543 --> 00:16:44,418
Stan.

275
00:16:45,043 --> 00:16:47,876
- How are you, Mrs. Chisholm?
- I'm feeling pretty well.

276
00:16:47,959 --> 00:16:49,793
You've met everybody? Conrad.

277
00:16:49,876 --> 00:16:53,001
Arthur, Robert Gottlieb,
my youth coordinator.

278
00:16:53,084 --> 00:16:55,043
He certainly fits the "youth" part.

279
00:16:56,501 --> 00:16:58,418
I'm old enough to be in Vietnam.

280
00:17:00,751 --> 00:17:01,793
Yes, you are.

281
00:17:01,876 --> 00:17:04,668
Stan's a longtime
political operative.

282
00:17:04,751 --> 00:17:07,543
He's excited about the prospect
of working on the campaign.

283
00:17:07,626 --> 00:17:08,501
Very excited.

284
00:17:08,584 --> 00:17:10,168
Well, I think we all are.

285
00:17:10,668 --> 00:17:13,543
I can imagine. I will say,
we have a lot of ground to cover.

286
00:17:13,626 --> 00:17:14,709
So we need to decide

287
00:17:14,793 --> 00:17:17,251
how to most effectively position
your messaging.

288
00:17:17,334 --> 00:17:20,043
My position and my messaging
are very simple.

289
00:17:20,126 --> 00:17:22,584
I'm trying to give politics
back to the people.

290
00:17:22,668 --> 00:17:25,251
Absolutely.
But you're running a national campaign.

291
00:17:25,334 --> 00:17:29,584
So how do we convey your message
to voters across America?

292
00:17:29,668 --> 00:17:31,793
By telling voters across America

293
00:17:31,876 --> 00:17:34,876
I'm trying to give politics
back to the people.

294
00:17:36,918 --> 00:17:40,668
A national campaign,
it's a little more challenging than that.

295
00:17:40,751 --> 00:17:42,668
But it needn't be.

296
00:17:44,001 --> 00:17:48,168
Mrs. Chisholm... I'm signing on
for an underfunded operation

297
00:17:48,251 --> 00:17:51,959
because who you are
and what you're about meet the moment.

298
00:17:52,751 --> 00:17:55,126
But you have to meet voters
where they live.

299
00:17:55,209 --> 00:17:58,543
All I ask is that you trust
I can help you accomplish that.

300
00:18:06,543 --> 00:18:07,793
Okay.

301
00:18:07,876 --> 00:18:08,959
All right.

302
00:18:09,043 --> 00:18:10,834
Well...

303
00:18:12,501 --> 00:18:14,918
- Let's get you elected president.
- All right.

I have faith in the American people.

322
00:19:55,043 --> 00:19:55,959
Yeah.

323
00:19:56,043 --> 00:19:58,834
I believe that we are intelligent enough

324
00:19:58,918 --> 00:20:04,293
to recognize the talent, energy,
and dedication which all Americans,

325
00:20:04,376 --> 00:20:07,668
including women and minorities,
have to offer.

326
00:20:08,584 --> 00:20:13,626
We are all God's children,
and the will of each of us

327
00:20:13,709 --> 00:20:18,209
is just as precious
as the will of the most powerful of us.

328
00:20:18,709 --> 00:20:22,876
Our will can create a new America in 1972.

329
00:20:22,959 --> 00:20:23,959
Yeah!

330
00:20:24,043 --> 00:20:28,959
One where there is freedom from violence
and war at home and abroad.

331
00:20:29,043 --> 00:20:29,959
Yeah!

332
00:20:30,043 --> 00:20:34,001
Where there is freedom
from poverty and discrimination.

333
00:20:34,084 --> 00:20:40,001
Where there exists at least a feeling
that we are making progress for everyone.

334
00:20:40,084 --> 00:20:40,959
Yes!

335
00:20:41,043 --> 00:20:43,668
All of you who share this vision,

00:20:43,751 --> 00:20:45,418

337
00:20:45,501 --> 00:20:49,293
left out, forgotten,
ignored, or shunned aside,

00:20:49,376 --> 00:20:56,293
join me in an effort to regain our society
and regain control of our destiny.

Frankly, voters across this country,

when you are considering
the next president,

346
00:21:34,168 --> 00:21:38,251
there's one name
and only one name that you should speak.

00:21:38,834 --> 00:21:41,793
<i>And that name... is Shirley Chisholm.</i>

349
00:21:44,876 --> 00:21:46,043
<i>Shirley.</i>

350
00:21:46,126 --> 00:21:47,334
Mmm.

351
00:21:50,168 --> 00:21:51,209
Thank you, Ron.

352
00:21:51,793 --> 00:21:52,626
For?

353
00:21:52,709 --> 00:21:55,084
The endorsement, early and strong.

354
00:21:55,168 --> 00:21:58,959
Oh, Shirley, if you in this race,
you in it to win.

355
00:21:59,043 --> 00:22:01,209
Ron Dellums is not betting against you.

356
00:22:04,918 --> 00:22:07,043
- You competing in California?
- Mmm.

357
00:22:07,584 --> 00:22:08,459
Mmm.

358
00:22:09,043 --> 00:22:12,584
You run in California,
I will put all my capital behind you.

359
00:22:12,668 --> 00:22:15,084
You carry the Bay Area,
Oakland, San Francisco--

360
00:22:15,168 --> 00:22:17,918
Ron, California is winner take all.

361
00:22:18,418 --> 00:22:21,709
I don't have the time
or resources to put into California,

362
00:22:21,793 --> 00:22:24,334
just so Muskie can take all the delegates.

363
00:22:24,418 --> 00:22:26,376
Well... word of caution.

364
00:22:28,918 --> 00:22:31,001
Walter Fauntroy might be
a problem for you.

365
00:22:33,209 --> 00:22:35,168
Little Lord Fauntroy.

366
00:22:36,459 --> 00:22:39,668
They want to run him as the favorite son
candidate in the district.

367
00:22:39,751 --> 00:22:41,584
It's gonna put you two in opposition.

368
00:22:43,834 --> 00:22:49,626
"Now, Ronald, I'm not in opposition
to Shirley, you understand?"

369
00:22:49,709 --> 00:22:55,126
"I'm simply asking that she be
a good little girl and wait her turn."

370
00:22:55,209 --> 00:22:56,293
You...

371
00:22:56,376 --> 00:22:57,626
You got him down cold.

372
00:22:57,709 --> 00:22:59,709
- Mmm...

373
00:23:00,793 --> 00:23:03,001
Ron, thank you for believing.

374
00:23:04,751 --> 00:23:05,834
Shirley.

375
00:23:06,584 --> 00:23:09,751
You are like a big sister to me.

376
00:23:11,084 --> 00:23:15,376
However, this thing goes,
I'm with you till the end.

377
00:23:19,876 --> 00:23:21,084
Thank you.

378
00:23:22,209 --> 00:23:24,084
-  Of course.

379
00:23:24,876 --> 00:23:27,918
I'm hungry. Go and get some McDonald's.

380
00:23:28,001 --> 00:23:29,501
You know that's my favorite.

381
00:23:29,584 --> 00:23:32,459
-  May be able to go down the street.
- Strawberry shake.

382
00:23:32,543 --> 00:23:33,501
Strawberry...

383
00:23:35,793 --> 00:23:37,626
{\an8}The analysts are still analyzing,

384
00:23:37,709 --> 00:23:40,793
{\an8}and they don't understand that
something new is happening in America.

385
00:23:40,876 --> 00:23:43,501
{\an8}And this campaign,
the Shirley Chisholm campaign,

386
00:23:43,584 --> 00:23:45,626
is the note of the new politics.

387
00:23:45,709 --> 00:23:48,584
The rest of it
is just making tired old noises.

388
00:23:48,668 --> 00:23:54,043
{\an8}What I have said is very clear.
Shirley Chisholm views her candidacy

389
00:23:54,126 --> 00:23:56,918
{\an8}as a representation
of the right of a woman

390
00:23:57,001 --> 00:23:59,668
{\an8}and a Black to run
for the highest office in this land.

391
00:23:59,751 --> 00:24:04,376
{\an8}I have considered Senator McGovern
the best white male candidate.

392
00:24:04,459 --> 00:24:08,793
I am sick and tired of
people asking the question,

393
00:24:08,876 --> 00:24:13,584
"Mrs. Chisholm, are you serious
about running for president?"

394
00:24:14,168 --> 00:24:18,793
The fact that people,
even other women, feminists,

395
00:24:18,876 --> 00:24:21,793
can't take my campaign seriously

396
00:24:21,876 --> 00:24:27,209
is an indication of the prescribed role
this society has given to women.

397
00:24:28,168 --> 00:24:32,126
We acknowledge racial politics,
ethnic politics,

398
00:24:32,209 --> 00:24:34,543
but we are just beginning to admit

399
00:24:34,626 --> 00:24:37,626
that this country has
a problem with gender politics.

400
00:24:38,376 --> 00:24:44,459
We need to get over ourselves
and redirect the priorities of this nation

401
00:24:44,543 --> 00:24:47,126
to make it a haven
for all kinds of people,

402
00:24:47,209 --> 00:24:50,501
regardless of race, color, creed, or sex.

403
00:24:55,001 --> 00:24:56,709
- Yeah.
- Yeah, Chisholm.

404
00:25:51,209 --> 00:25:53,793
I want
to be part of something.

405
00:25:53,876 --> 00:25:57,043
I see what's going on in the country.
Vietnam, all of it.

406
00:25:57,543 --> 00:25:58,626
It's...

407
00:25:59,126 --> 00:26:00,126
I'm tired.

408
00:26:00,209 --> 00:26:03,584
I am barely 25,
and I am tired of the way things are.

409
00:26:04,376 --> 00:26:06,626
Tired of the men
that we're sending to Washington.

410
00:26:06,709 --> 00:26:10,084
Humphrey and Muskie, they are better
than Nixon, but is that the standard?

411
00:26:10,168 --> 00:26:13,043
- I hope not.
- To be better than the man that's corrupt?

412
00:26:14,168 --> 00:26:17,418
And I hear you talk about people
having the power to make change.

413
00:26:18,209 --> 00:26:19,959
And I don't know where to start.

414
00:26:20,043 --> 00:26:21,876
Are you registered to vote?

415
00:26:22,834 --> 00:26:24,709
Registered? No.

416
00:26:24,793 --> 00:26:28,709
Little girl, the first thing
you've got to do is vote.

417
00:26:29,668 --> 00:26:32,584
That ain't my scene.
Voting's bourgeois politics.

418
00:26:32,668 --> 00:26:35,334
If all you're doing
is outside yelling and screaming,

419
00:26:35,418 --> 00:26:39,251
that's all you're ever gonna be,
a yeller and a screamer.

420
00:26:39,334 --> 00:26:41,418
You have to be part of the process.

421
00:26:41,918 --> 00:26:45,334
The process doesn't exist
in politics for Black women.

422
00:26:46,293 --> 00:26:47,709
You're different.

423
00:26:47,793 --> 00:26:50,459
I saw what needed to be done,
and I did it.

424
00:26:51,126 --> 00:26:52,376
That's not different.

425
00:26:52,459 --> 00:26:54,001
That's necessary.

426
00:26:56,334 --> 00:26:58,084
I want you to come work for me.

427
00:27:00,168 --> 00:27:01,126
On your campaign?

428
00:27:01,209 --> 00:27:03,709
Or is that too bourgeois for you?

429
00:27:03,793 --> 00:27:04,626
Hmm.

430
00:27:05,584 --> 00:27:07,834
I got a baby. I'm a single mother.

431
00:27:07,918 --> 00:27:09,293
- And I just need to--
- Ah.

432
00:27:09,376 --> 00:27:12,668
Then you understand
what people are facing more than most.

433
00:27:12,751 --> 00:27:15,334
You don't have to work for us full-time.

434
00:27:15,418 --> 00:27:18,001
Just when you can, how you can.

435
00:27:19,084 --> 00:27:20,584
I don't have any experience.

436
00:27:20,668 --> 00:27:22,918
Well, I don't have any moola.

437
00:27:24,709 --> 00:27:29,209
But I can offer you
the opportunity to make a difference.

438
00:27:35,293 --> 00:27:37,626
Okay.

439
00:27:38,251 --> 00:27:39,334
Okay.

440
00:27:39,959 --> 00:27:42,084
- Okay.

441
00:27:51,001 --> 00:27:52,918
- Two signatures on the next page.
- Vote's Tuesday.

442
00:27:53,001 --> 00:27:55,626
- Sign where?
- Two signatures on this page.

443
00:27:55,709 --> 00:27:58,793
- Shirley... come on.

444
00:27:58,876 --> 00:28:01,084
-  You can't miss this flight.
-  Yes.

445
00:28:01,168 --> 00:28:03,251
- Shirley.
- Bob Dole, Senator Dole.

446
00:28:03,334 --> 00:28:06,793
...first thing in the morning. You'll
get in late so I won't bother you tonight.

447
00:28:06,876 --> 00:28:08,626
If you need anything, I'm heading home.

448
00:29:17,251 --> 00:29:18,251
Ma'am.

449
00:29:19,209 --> 00:29:20,209
We're here.

450
00:29:33,668 --> 00:29:34,876
Conrad?

451
00:29:41,834 --> 00:29:42,959
Conrad.

452
00:29:54,543 --> 00:29:56,126
Sorry to wake you.

453
00:29:58,418 --> 00:29:59,543
You're late.

454
00:29:59,626 --> 00:30:01,168
Flight was delayed.

455
00:30:03,709 --> 00:30:05,418
Is there anything to eat?

456
00:30:06,668 --> 00:30:08,126
What's that?

457
00:30:08,209 --> 00:30:10,168
Do we have anything to eat?

458
00:30:11,084 --> 00:30:13,209
I think
there's something in the freezer.

459
00:30:13,293 --> 00:30:14,751
There's nothing warm?

460
00:30:17,584 --> 00:30:20,751
- I could run and get you something--
- From where? It's late.

461
00:30:21,793 --> 00:30:23,376
Everything's closed.

462
00:30:23,459 --> 00:30:24,459
Well...

463
00:30:27,334 --> 00:30:28,751
It's all right. I... I'll...

464
00:30:28,834 --> 00:30:30,418
I'll... I'll warm something.

465
00:30:31,168 --> 00:30:33,709
I have to get up early
and meet with Stanley.

466
00:30:35,959 --> 00:30:37,709
It's all right.

467
00:30:39,418 --> 00:30:40,668
It's all right.

468
00:31:41,376 --> 00:31:46,043
<i>The US has been holding
presidential elections nearly 200 years.</i>

469
00:31:46,126 --> 00:31:49,043
<i>Each one significant,
but the election this year</i>

470
00:31:49,126 --> 00:31:53,168
<i>has been more than a demonstration
of stability and continuity.</i>

471
00:31:53,251 --> 00:31:57,376
<i>A combination of factors,
reforms within the two major parties,</i>

472
00:31:57,459 --> 00:31:59,876
<i>a new law giving young people
the right to vote,</i>

473
00:31:59,959 --> 00:32:03,584
<i>and a new political awareness
on the part of groups previously inactive,</i>

474
00:32:03,668 --> 00:32:09,168
<i>have made 1972 a potential turning point
in American political history.</i>

475
00:32:09,251 --> 00:32:13,126
Reaching your base,
turning them on, getting them out to vote.

476
00:32:13,209 --> 00:32:15,376
That's what this campaign is all about.

477
00:32:15,459 --> 00:32:19,793
We need 1,500 delegates
to get the nomination for president.

478
00:32:19,876 --> 00:32:20,918
And...

479
00:32:22,293 --> 00:32:24,418
that's how many we currently have.

480
00:32:24,501 --> 00:32:25,918
So, we got six months

481
00:32:26,001 --> 00:32:29,543
from now until the last primaries
in June to rack up some numbers.

482
00:32:29,626 --> 00:32:33,168
- How are we gonna earn those delegates?
- I got national polling--

483
00:32:33,251 --> 00:32:36,251
First two primaries are
New Hampshire and Florida on March 14th.

484
00:32:36,334 --> 00:32:38,043
Wouldn't be in the race without Florida.

485
00:32:38,126 --> 00:32:40,293
When asked,
"What do you know about Shirley Chisholm?"

486
00:32:40,376 --> 00:32:43,043
-  New Hampshire?
- Forget about New Hampshire.

487
00:32:43,126 --> 00:32:44,418
Muskie's got it sewn up.

488
00:32:44,501 --> 00:32:47,084
According to papers,
Muskie's got the nomination sewn up.

489
00:32:47,168 --> 00:32:50,209
46% of the respondents
knew that you were Black.

490
00:32:50,293 --> 00:32:51,626
38% knew you were a woman--

491
00:32:51,709 --> 00:32:54,126
38%? The name doesn't give it away?

492
00:32:54,209 --> 00:32:57,501
'Cause Shirley is one of those names
you see that goes either way.

493
00:32:57,584 --> 00:32:59,418
- Like Chris or Leslie.
- Alabama?

494
00:32:59,501 --> 00:33:01,709
- Shirley is not like Chris or Leslie.
-  No.

495
00:33:01,793 --> 00:33:02,959
-  Arizona?
- Mm-mmm.

496
00:33:03,043 --> 00:33:06,876
Point is, a plurality of the electorate
doesn't even know who you are.

497
00:33:06,959 --> 00:33:07,834
Ohio?

498
00:33:07,918 --> 00:33:10,918
Carl Stokes would attack me
to death if I get into Ohio.

499
00:33:11,001 --> 00:33:13,001
- Colorado?
-  May I finish my thought?

500
00:33:13,876 --> 00:33:16,126
Your lack of recognition is a challenge,

501
00:33:16,209 --> 00:33:18,959
but it also means voters
haven't formed an opinion yet--

502
00:33:19,043 --> 00:33:22,001
- Colorado?
- The reform wing is in the minority.

503
00:33:22,084 --> 00:33:24,501
- We should look to get on the ballot--
-  Shirley.

504
00:33:25,543 --> 00:33:27,918
We shouldn't actively campaign
in Colorado.

505
00:33:28,001 --> 00:33:30,251
Opinions about you
are going to be formed in debates.

506
00:33:30,334 --> 00:33:31,501
They're going to be critical.

507
00:33:31,584 --> 00:33:35,209
Shirley's a hell of a debater, man.
Ran circles around James Farmer.

508
00:33:35,293 --> 00:33:36,918
Farmer wasn't a career politician.

509
00:33:37,001 --> 00:33:39,876
The rest of these boys talk shit
faster than I can make it.

510
00:33:39,959 --> 00:33:42,584
-  California?

511
00:33:43,834 --> 00:33:44,668
Oh...

512
00:33:44,751 --> 00:33:45,876
California?

513
00:33:46,918 --> 00:33:48,584
- No.
-  Shirley!

514
00:33:48,668 --> 00:33:52,918
- Know how many colleges there are?
- California's a winner-take-all state.

515
00:33:53,001 --> 00:33:55,251
If we put our time
and energy into California,

516
00:33:55,334 --> 00:33:56,834
we'll walk away with nothing.

517
00:33:56,918 --> 00:34:00,459
It's a big, shiny object
that'll leave us distracted and defeated.

518
00:34:00,543 --> 00:34:01,418
No.

519
00:34:01,501 --> 00:34:05,418
Shirley, right now
your entire national campaign

520
00:34:05,501 --> 00:34:07,793
is built on one state, Florida.

521
00:34:21,126 --> 00:34:23,459
That's our campaign.
We'll build from there.

522
00:34:26,959 --> 00:34:29,293
And they can talk shit all they want.

523
00:34:29,376 --> 00:34:32,834
<i>Why are more and more millions
of Americans turning to Governor Wallace?</i>

524
00:34:32,918 --> 00:34:35,501
<i>Take a walk in your street
or park tonight.</i>

525
00:34:37,459 --> 00:34:40,418
{\an8}There's a lot of talk
these days about liberalism.

526
00:34:40,501 --> 00:34:43,834
{\an8}Well, what did liberalism do for America?

527
00:34:43,918 --> 00:34:48,709
{\an8}Brought us drug addiction in our streets,
brought a breakdown of law and order.

528
00:34:48,793 --> 00:34:53,251
{\an8}And now this idea they have of busing
our children to achieve racial balance.

529
00:34:53,334 --> 00:34:57,418
{\an8}That's their way of taking away your right
to raise your child how you see fit.

530
00:34:57,501 --> 00:35:01,251
{\an8} <i>Why are more and more millions
of Americans turning to Governor Wallace?</i>

531
00:35:01,334 --> 00:35:03,959
<i>Follow as your children
are bused across town.</i>

532
00:35:04,043 --> 00:35:07,209
Busing is an ineffective solution
to school integration.

533
00:35:07,293 --> 00:35:10,793
It is a burden carried
by the same children we're trying to help.

534
00:35:10,876 --> 00:35:12,418
That is a great answer for Florida.

535
00:35:12,501 --> 00:35:14,168
- But you can't say...
-"Can't"?

536
00:35:14,251 --> 00:35:17,459
...that you don't support busing
in Massachusetts or New York.

537
00:35:17,543 --> 00:35:20,459
It does sound
like something Wallace would say.

538
00:35:20,543 --> 00:35:22,501
What's your position on abortion?

539
00:35:22,584 --> 00:35:25,043
I am an ardent advocate
of family planning.

540
00:35:25,126 --> 00:35:26,793
- I am aware, however...
- Shirley--

541
00:35:26,876 --> 00:35:28,668
...that for a number of reasons...

542
00:35:28,751 --> 00:35:30,418
- Shirley--
- ...birth control is not enough.

543
00:35:30,501 --> 00:35:32,834
- Shirl--
- Contraceptive devices fail, and--

544
00:35:32,918 --> 00:35:34,668
Shirley, you can't say all that.

545
00:35:34,751 --> 00:35:37,876
- I'm sorry, Stanley. "Can't"?
- Too much nuance.

546
00:35:37,959 --> 00:35:39,543
- Mac.
-  I'm being honest.

547
00:35:39,626 --> 00:35:42,459
Your answer needs to be more direct.
The same with busing.

548
00:35:42,543 --> 00:35:46,793
Well, that's my answer on one side
of the Mason-Dixon or the other.

549
00:35:46,876 --> 00:35:49,626
And I am not leaving out the nuance.

550
00:35:49,709 --> 00:35:52,043
Hey! Hot off the press.

551
00:35:52,126 --> 00:35:56,084
Before we do all that, can we please
just finish up what we've started here?

552
00:35:56,168 --> 00:35:57,293
These came out good.

553
00:35:57,376 --> 00:35:59,709
-  They did.
- I'm leaving for Florida in the morning.

554
00:35:59,793 --> 00:36:02,626
By the time you all get there,
I'll have volunteers in place.

555
00:36:02,709 --> 00:36:04,376
I'll have all the venues booked.

556
00:36:04,459 --> 00:36:07,793
We're gonna be starting
with a speaking engagement at FSU.

557
00:36:07,876 --> 00:36:11,334
This trip has got to run
like a Swiss watch, son.

558
00:36:11,418 --> 00:36:13,334
We have to have
a strong showing in this primary.

559
00:36:13,418 --> 00:36:15,751
- I'll have it handled.
-  Thank you, Robert.

560
00:36:16,668 --> 00:36:17,834
Of course.

561
00:36:17,918 --> 00:36:18,918
{\an8}All right.

562
00:36:19,668 --> 00:36:21,376
{\an8}- I'll see you in Florida.
- All right.

563
00:36:51,876 --> 00:36:56,293
Twenty-two primaries still to go
in this campaign '72.

564
00:36:56,376 --> 00:37:00,209
The politicians now are shifting
their efforts from New Hampshire's snow

565
00:37:00,293 --> 00:37:01,751
to Florida's sand.

566
00:37:03,043 --> 00:37:06,834
You need to decide if you're going to
this National Black Political Convention

567
00:37:06,918 --> 00:37:10,084
in Gary, Indiana. There'll be leaders
from every cross-section.

568
00:37:10,168 --> 00:37:12,626
- Radical, faith-based, conservative--
- We'll see.

569
00:37:12,709 --> 00:37:16,209
I got an invitation for you to speak
down here at the Pearly Club.

570
00:37:16,293 --> 00:37:17,543
That's an exclusive club.

571
00:37:17,626 --> 00:37:19,001
Exclusive white?

572
00:37:19,084 --> 00:37:20,251
Exclusive male.

573
00:37:20,334 --> 00:37:23,168
You'd be the first female speaker
they've ever had.

574
00:37:23,251 --> 00:37:25,001
A white men's club here in Florida?

575
00:37:25,084 --> 00:37:29,251
But you're not gonna attend
a Black political convention in Gary?

576
00:37:29,334 --> 00:37:32,001
Listen, why don't we just
table all the Gary talk

577
00:37:32,084 --> 00:37:34,001
and let her just get some sleep?

578
00:37:34,501 --> 00:37:36,251
We'll pick it up tomorrow.

579
00:37:37,251 --> 00:37:40,251
Hello. I'm calling on behalf
of Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm.

580
00:37:40,334 --> 00:37:43,876
The congresswoman will be holding
events while campaigning in Florida...

581
00:37:43,959 --> 00:37:45,459
<i>Your vote can change America.</i>

582
00:37:45,543 --> 00:37:48,834
<i>These fundraisers are an opportunity
to meet Shirley face-to-face.</i>

583
00:37:50,251 --> 00:37:53,334
And I call to you, the youth of America,

584
00:37:53,418 --> 00:37:56,209
to take part in the fight for the future.

585
00:37:56,293 --> 00:37:59,251
Those of you who are able to vote
for the very first time

586
00:37:59,334 --> 00:38:02,251
must use your voices
and let the politicians know

587
00:38:02,334 --> 00:38:05,084
that the government
belongs to all the people.

588
00:38:05,168 --> 00:38:07,001
-  Yes!

589
00:38:07,084 --> 00:38:08,293
{\an8}Register to vote!

590
00:38:08,376 --> 00:38:11,001
{\an8}If all you are is on the outside
yelling and screaming,

591
00:38:11,084 --> 00:38:13,959
{\an8}then that's all you'll ever be,
a yeller and a screamer.

592
00:38:14,043 --> 00:38:15,334
Be a part of the process!

593
00:38:16,376 --> 00:38:19,001
US foreign policy
should avoid taking sides

594
00:38:19,084 --> 00:38:22,126
and focus on the humanitarian crisis
happening in the Middle East.

595
00:38:22,209 --> 00:38:24,334
What's your take on the Black Panthers?

596
00:38:24,418 --> 00:38:27,209
Well, it's a shame
the Black Panthers are necessary,

597
00:38:27,293 --> 00:38:29,501
but I understand why they are.

598
00:38:30,043 --> 00:38:33,001
But it's important for us
to get the vote out to young people.

599
00:38:33,084 --> 00:38:35,834
It's the first election
that people who are 18 get to vote.

600
00:38:35,918 --> 00:38:39,793
This isn't just about
a fair wage. This is about our lives.

601
00:38:40,876 --> 00:38:44,168
-  You support busing.
- Are you asking me or telling me?

602
00:38:45,293 --> 00:38:47,543
My opponents is
twisting themselves into pretzels,

603
00:38:47,626 --> 00:38:49,668
trying to explain
where they stand on busing.

604
00:38:49,751 --> 00:38:51,126
I don't support busing.

605
00:38:51,209 --> 00:38:54,793
It's an artificial solution
to the segregation problem.

606
00:38:54,876 --> 00:38:57,251
Open housing is the real answer.

607
00:38:57,334 --> 00:38:59,584
But as long as the problem exists,

608
00:38:59,668 --> 00:39:02,126
an artificial solution
is better than none at all.

609
00:39:02,209 --> 00:39:05,084
<i>One of the most
active candidates of campaign '72</i>

610
00:39:05,168 --> 00:39:07,126
<i>is Shirley Chisholm of Brooklyn.</i>

611
00:39:07,209 --> 00:39:08,126
I love you, Shirley!

612
00:39:08,209 --> 00:39:10,459
I don't need your love, darling.
I need your vote.

613
00:39:10,543 --> 00:39:13,168
I'm gonna vote for you.
You or George Wallace.

614
00:39:13,251 --> 00:39:14,751
All right. Well...

615
00:39:14,834 --> 00:39:17,793
I'll say this. Shirley Chisholm
is the only other candidate

616
00:39:17,876 --> 00:39:21,043
who says the same thing
in the South that she says in the North.

617
00:39:21,543 --> 00:39:24,459
<i>Shirley Chisholm
will never be president.</i>

618
00:39:24,543 --> 00:39:26,376
<i>This is America.</i>

619
00:39:26,459 --> 00:39:28,626
{\an8} <i>That woman
needs to get out of the race.</i>

620
00:39:28,709 --> 00:39:31,334
{\an8} <i>She bristles at the suggestion
she step aside,</i>

621
00:39:31,418 --> 00:39:34,918
<i>lest she draw liberal votes away
from other presidential contenders.</i>

622
00:39:35,501 --> 00:39:38,793
<i>Why is it that it has to
always be white males, white males,</i>

623
00:39:38,876 --> 00:39:40,918
<i>white males, white males, white males?</i>

624
00:39:43,418 --> 00:39:47,376
<i>If you can't support me,
or you can't endorse me,</i>

625
00:39:47,459 --> 00:39:48,793
<i>get out of my way.</i>

626
00:39:48,876 --> 00:39:51,084
<i>You do your thing, and let me do mine.</i>

627
00:39:51,168 --> 00:39:54,793
You go to hell, you Black bitch!
You fucking Black bitch! I'll kill you!

628
00:39:54,876 --> 00:39:57,501
You fucking Black bitch!
I'll fuckin' kill you!

629
00:41:13,334 --> 00:41:14,459
Police got him.

630
00:41:16,626 --> 00:41:17,834
He was just some...

631
00:41:19,168 --> 00:41:20,543
some crazy.

632
00:41:22,168 --> 00:41:24,793
Hell of a world, eh?
People like that.

633
00:41:29,251 --> 00:41:31,918
Anyway, the police got him now.

634
00:41:33,584 --> 00:41:34,876
Where were you?

635
00:41:36,751 --> 00:41:39,168
He was that close to me.

636
00:41:41,584 --> 00:41:44,168
You're supposed to be my security.

637
00:41:45,501 --> 00:41:47,584
You're supposed to protect me.

638
00:41:48,459 --> 00:41:50,168
Where were you?

639
00:41:52,543 --> 00:41:56,668
I try as hard as I can
to be the man you want.

640
00:41:58,126 --> 00:42:01,043
Attentive, and mindful, and...

641
00:42:02,418 --> 00:42:05,418
But always... out of the way
and off to the side.

642
00:42:05,959 --> 00:42:07,209
I do it.

643
00:42:07,293 --> 00:42:10,793
I'm happy to do it because I know
how important all this is to you.

644
00:42:10,876 --> 00:42:12,293
It's not just for me.

645
00:42:12,376 --> 00:42:15,251
I know
all the good that you can do.

646
00:42:16,251 --> 00:42:17,668
So I'll be your shadow.

647
00:42:19,626 --> 00:42:25,626
Because I know, for whatever reason,
a shadow of a man is what you want.

648
00:42:28,043 --> 00:42:32,709
But don't get upset with me
when I'm a little too good at it.

649
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:11,251
<i>It has been said,
"Behind every great man is a great woman."</i>

650
00:43:11,334 --> 00:43:13,584
<i>Behind Shirley Chisholm
is Conrad Chisholm,</i>

651
00:43:13,668 --> 00:43:17,459
an investigator for the City Bureau
of Medical Services.

652
00:43:18,251 --> 00:43:20,334
You two have been married for 19 years.

653
00:43:20,918 --> 00:43:22,668
How would you describe each other?

654
00:43:25,584 --> 00:43:26,918
Well, I tell you.

655
00:43:27,959 --> 00:43:33,043
I remember a time when she was introduced
at a dinner by the MC.

656
00:43:33,126 --> 00:43:37,293
And it was very fitting, to me,

657
00:43:37,376 --> 00:43:42,126
that he described her
as 100 pounds of nuclear energy.

658
00:43:42,959 --> 00:43:45,126
And I think it was very appropriate.

659
00:43:46,126 --> 00:43:51,751
Well, I would describe my husband as

660
00:43:52,543 --> 00:43:54,543
200 pounds of patience.

661
00:43:56,501 --> 00:43:59,001
My husband is a remarkable man.

662
00:43:59,959 --> 00:44:02,418
I can truthfully say

663
00:44:02,501 --> 00:44:07,459
that I would not have
been able to reach the top

664
00:44:07,543 --> 00:44:10,168
unless I had a very understanding mate.

665
00:44:11,501 --> 00:44:15,418
And indeed, I know it has been
most difficult for him, occasionally.

666
00:44:16,751 --> 00:44:21,418
Well... I've had to sacrifice quite a bit,

667
00:44:21,501 --> 00:44:27,293
but I enjoy sacrificing it
for what she's doing.

668
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:32,084
Thank you both very much.

669
00:44:45,251 --> 00:44:49,668
<i>- ♪ Let me tells you what happened to me ♪</i>

670
00:44:50,293 --> 00:44:51,959
It's an embarrassment.

671
00:44:52,876 --> 00:44:55,334
I mean, this is
what the campaign's come to,

672
00:44:55,418 --> 00:44:57,251
Shirley and Wallace.

673
00:44:57,334 --> 00:45:01,668
Shirley got blown out in Florida,
less than 1% of the vote in Illinois.

674
00:45:01,751 --> 00:45:03,043
Same in Wisconsin.

675
00:45:03,126 --> 00:45:05,334
Less than 1% of the vote.

676
00:45:06,209 --> 00:45:07,709
And no delegates.

677
00:45:07,793 --> 00:45:10,251
You can spare Shirley the numbers.

678
00:45:10,334 --> 00:45:13,626
Three months from the convention,
and we're moving backward.

679
00:45:13,709 --> 00:45:14,709
Shirley...

680
00:45:15,918 --> 00:45:20,001
I dig her... speaking-truth thing,
but that doesn't get you votes.

681
00:45:20,084 --> 00:45:22,793
Stanley, what do you want?

682
00:45:23,793 --> 00:45:27,168
I want you to help me help Shirley.
I can't manage from the bleachers.

683
00:45:28,334 --> 00:45:30,709
You want me to help you sideline Shirley?

684
00:45:30,793 --> 00:45:33,251
Oh, hell no, Mac.

685
00:45:33,334 --> 00:45:34,918
You know me better.

686
00:45:35,001 --> 00:45:40,001
We just need to compartmentalize her...
so we can better guide the campaign.

687
00:45:40,084 --> 00:45:40,918
Just--

688
00:45:41,001 --> 00:45:43,918
Just guide it. Guide Shirley <i>for</i> Shirley.

689
00:45:45,418 --> 00:45:48,209
You know my history with Shirley?

690
00:45:48,876 --> 00:45:53,043
You knew her from, uh, when you formed
the Bedford-Stuyvesant Political League.

691
00:45:54,751 --> 00:45:57,209
She was still a senior
at Brooklyn College.

692
00:45:57,293 --> 00:46:00,459
Taught Shirley everything
I knew about politics.

693
00:46:00,543 --> 00:46:02,834
How to read people
and the games they play.

694
00:46:02,918 --> 00:46:05,418
How the system works,
how some people are kept out

695
00:46:05,501 --> 00:46:06,876
and others kept in.

696
00:46:07,834 --> 00:46:10,709
And after I taught Shirley all that,

697
00:46:11,751 --> 00:46:16,043
she turns around and runs against me
for president of my own league.

698
00:46:16,126 --> 00:46:17,626
You still work with her.

699
00:46:18,209 --> 00:46:19,584
You forgive her?

700
00:46:22,668 --> 00:46:24,043
Nothing to forgive.

701
00:46:26,209 --> 00:46:28,209
Shirley believes in the necessary.

702
00:46:29,251 --> 00:46:33,751
At the time, she thought
it was necessary for her to replace me.

703
00:46:36,126 --> 00:46:41,959
That's something to remember
when you talk about guiding Shirley.

704
00:46:55,293 --> 00:46:57,168
<i>♪ You drink your whiskey ♪</i>

705
00:46:59,084 --> 00:47:01,751
<i>- ♪ I'll drink my wine... ♪</i>
- Congresswoman Chisholm.

706
00:47:01,834 --> 00:47:04,251
- Walter.
- It sure is good to see you.

707
00:47:05,334 --> 00:47:07,376
May I get you a menu?

708
00:47:07,459 --> 00:47:10,709
No, I won't be staying that long.

709
00:47:10,793 --> 00:47:13,126
Oh... That's too bad.

710
00:47:13,918 --> 00:47:19,293
A meal is so much better...
when it's enjoyed with friends.

711
00:47:19,376 --> 00:47:20,251
Mmm.

712
00:47:21,168 --> 00:47:23,418
Well, Shirley.

713
00:47:25,834 --> 00:47:26,834
What can I say?

714
00:47:27,334 --> 00:47:30,001
It's a shame
you didn't do better in Florida.

715
00:47:30,084 --> 00:47:31,001
Hmm.

716
00:47:31,584 --> 00:47:34,543
But my, my. You did get 4% of the vote.

717
00:47:35,834 --> 00:47:38,251
Well, almost 4%.

718
00:47:39,501 --> 00:47:42,001
- Could have used a few more endorsements.
- Mmm.

719
00:47:42,584 --> 00:47:46,209
The whole Congressional Black Caucus,
and the only ones I have behind me

720
00:47:46,293 --> 00:47:47,918
are Mitchell, Conyers, and Dellums.

721
00:47:49,043 --> 00:47:51,626
I can hardly endorse you
when I'm running myself.

722
00:47:51,709 --> 00:47:56,459
As a favorite son candidate
in the district, that's it, Walter.

723
00:47:56,543 --> 00:47:58,709
You here, and Stokes in Ohio.

724
00:47:59,293 --> 00:48:00,751
That don't add up to much.

725
00:48:01,334 --> 00:48:06,418
But you want to tell the people,
our people, who should represent them.

726
00:48:07,126 --> 00:48:09,543
You're no better
than the fat cat white boys.

727
00:48:11,209 --> 00:48:12,209
Shirley.

728
00:48:15,668 --> 00:48:18,418
I made the march, Selma to Montgomery.

729
00:48:18,501 --> 00:48:21,418
I learned lessons of the flesh
on the front lines with Martin.

730
00:48:21,501 --> 00:48:25,918
So I'd appreciate
if you didn't suppose <i>about</i> me <i>for</i> me.

731
00:48:26,668 --> 00:48:28,459
How can I help you, Walter?

732
00:48:29,001 --> 00:48:31,668
I want you
to drop out of the primary in DC.

733
00:48:33,043 --> 00:48:36,043
- Ron warned me.
- Ron Dellums is a West Coast dilettante.

734
00:48:36,126 --> 00:48:39,001
Willie Brown is the power in California.

735
00:48:39,876 --> 00:48:41,501
Don't let Ron get in your head.

736
00:48:41,584 --> 00:48:44,084
Now, if you stay in the primary,

737
00:48:44,168 --> 00:48:46,834
you and me are only gonna
end up splitting the vote.

738
00:48:46,918 --> 00:48:49,793
Splitting the delegates
doesn't help you, doesn't help me.

739
00:48:49,876 --> 00:48:52,668
And the best way for me to help you
is for me to drop out?

740
00:48:52,751 --> 00:48:55,209
Only in DC,
where I'm on the ballot.

741
00:48:55,293 --> 00:48:58,626
Now, you and me both know
the nomination for president

742
00:48:58,709 --> 00:49:02,043
isn't gonna be decided
in the first round at the convention.

743
00:49:03,001 --> 00:49:04,668
Now, after that first round,

744
00:49:05,209 --> 00:49:10,334
after I get my... pound of flesh
out of the Democratic Party,

745
00:49:10,918 --> 00:49:14,126
I will release all my delegates to you
with the instruction to vote

746
00:49:14,209 --> 00:49:15,543
as <i>you</i> tell them to vote.

747
00:49:15,626 --> 00:49:18,084
I swear to God, Walter.

748
00:49:18,168 --> 00:49:20,376
Just more backroom politics.

749
00:49:20,459 --> 00:49:22,793
Nothing wrong with politics
when you're a politician.

750
00:49:29,459 --> 00:49:34,168
After the first round,
you will get all my delegates.

751
00:49:37,084 --> 00:49:40,834
{\an8}You literally have my word.

752
00:49:41,959 --> 00:49:43,626
Now, do I have yours?

753
00:49:47,876 --> 00:49:49,376
I said yes.

754
00:49:50,001 --> 00:49:52,459
What else was I supposed to say?

755
00:49:52,543 --> 00:49:54,668
He made sense. He gave me his word.

756
00:49:54,751 --> 00:49:56,834
I... just don't...

757
00:49:57,626 --> 00:50:00,043
Look.

758
00:50:00,126 --> 00:50:01,959
Walter's a good man,

759
00:50:02,043 --> 00:50:05,251
but Walter's always going...

760
00:50:07,293 --> 00:50:09,043
So you think I made a mistake.

761
00:50:09,126 --> 00:50:13,501
Walter has a tendency to disappoint,
and when it happens, it happens.

762
00:50:13,584 --> 00:50:15,334
That's all.

763
00:50:17,001 --> 00:50:18,668
<i>I got my ears open, Shirley.</i>

764
00:50:18,751 --> 00:50:22,126
<i>If I hear anything you should know,
I will be the first one to tell you.</i>

765
00:50:22,209 --> 00:50:24,918
-  <i>Thank you, Ron.</i>
-  <i>Of course.</i>

766
00:50:25,001 --> 00:50:26,293
<i>Of course.</i>

767
00:50:26,376 --> 00:50:29,084
<i>You just worry
about being the next president.</i>

768
00:50:29,918 --> 00:50:30,876
Hmm.

769
00:50:32,459 --> 00:50:34,001
So I need to get out the vote.

770
00:50:34,084 --> 00:50:36,793
If you want to mobilize students
on the campuses, you need to...

771
00:50:36,876 --> 00:50:39,543
- I'll tell you what my answer is.
- Before you say no--

772
00:50:39,626 --> 00:50:41,668
-  I already said no.
- How many could we get?

773
00:50:41,751 --> 00:50:43,209
Well, how many do we need?

774
00:50:43,293 --> 00:50:46,293
-  You told me "I'll think about it."
- As many as we can get.

775
00:50:46,376 --> 00:50:48,459
And I thought about it.

776
00:50:48,543 --> 00:50:51,418
Jesse Jackson will be there.
Louis Farrakhan. Bobby Seale...

777
00:50:51,501 --> 00:50:53,959
- They weren't gonna endorse me.
-  How do you spell that?

778
00:50:54,043 --> 00:50:55,959
- P-O-M-O-N-A.
-  They'll never endorse me.

779
00:50:56,043 --> 00:50:57,668
Shirley, you need some traction.

780
00:50:57,751 --> 00:51:00,793
You need to capitalize on your deal
with Walt Fauntroy.

781
00:51:00,876 --> 00:51:03,793
If you're looking for an endorsement,
when I get back to California,

782
00:51:03,876 --> 00:51:06,418
I could maybe talk
to the people with the Black Panthers.

783
00:51:06,501 --> 00:51:08,834
Oh Jesus. Yeah, let's bring
the radicals on board.

784
00:51:08,918 --> 00:51:10,918
That'll play great in the Midwest.

785
00:51:11,001 --> 00:51:12,043
- Shirley--
- Thank you.

786
00:51:12,126 --> 00:51:15,209
The guy who, um,
created <i>Star Trek</i> actually went there.

787
00:51:15,293 --> 00:51:16,459
Not-- Not even joking.

788
00:51:16,543 --> 00:51:19,584
- ...this event in Gary...
- Stanley, I am not going.

789
00:51:31,543 --> 00:51:32,959
Um, Barbara.

790
00:51:33,501 --> 00:51:35,418
Let her have her lunch, please.

791
00:51:36,168 --> 00:51:37,084
Please.

792
00:51:38,543 --> 00:51:39,668
Yeah...

793
00:51:39,751 --> 00:51:43,001
-  You know what? So...
-  So, we're going to California.

794
00:51:44,293 --> 00:51:45,418
Five thousand.

795
00:51:46,918 --> 00:51:48,501
Barbara. Barbara. Barb--!

796
00:51:48,584 --> 00:51:52,168
- Shirley, I want to go to the convention.
- I told her you were eating.

797
00:51:52,751 --> 00:51:54,418
It's all right, Arthur.

798
00:51:55,668 --> 00:51:57,793
I want to go to the convention in Gary.

799
00:51:57,876 --> 00:52:01,084
- I can... I can be your representative.
- No.

800
00:52:01,168 --> 00:52:04,709
I want to do something big
for this campaign before I go to Oakland.

801
00:52:04,793 --> 00:52:08,751
- Stanley said that you have to be there.
- I don't <i>have to</i> do anything.

802
00:52:08,834 --> 00:52:11,126
Why don't you want to go?
What are you so afraid of?

803
00:52:11,959 --> 00:52:13,418
Little girl.

804
00:52:16,834 --> 00:52:18,001
Sit down.

805
00:52:21,001 --> 00:52:22,251
Sit down.

806
00:52:34,084 --> 00:52:37,543
Let me tell you something
about this convention.

807
00:52:37,626 --> 00:52:41,168
They don't have
one single Black woman invited to speak.

808
00:52:41,251 --> 00:52:43,293
Not one. Not Coretta.

809
00:52:43,959 --> 00:52:47,668
Betty Shabazz, they got her
introducing Jesse Jackson.

810
00:52:47,751 --> 00:52:52,126
They have made it clear they don't care
what Black women have to say.

811
00:52:52,793 --> 00:52:53,876
They just...

812
00:52:54,376 --> 00:52:57,084
- That's just how they are.
-"They"?

813
00:52:57,168 --> 00:52:59,876
Men, always plottin' and plannin'.

814
00:53:00,459 --> 00:53:02,959
I see these men and the games they play.

815
00:53:03,043 --> 00:53:06,751
Black, white, they're all nothing
but hard-mout goats.

816
00:53:08,418 --> 00:53:09,459
"Hard-mout"?

817
00:53:09,543 --> 00:53:10,501
Ah...

818
00:53:10,584 --> 00:53:13,543
I slip into my Bajan roots
when I lose my religion.

819
00:53:18,876 --> 00:53:20,209
Politics makes you do that?

820
00:53:23,084 --> 00:53:24,126
Then...

821
00:53:25,418 --> 00:53:27,376
I don't think politics is for me.

822
00:53:36,126 --> 00:53:37,001
<i>Shirley!</i>

823
00:53:37,876 --> 00:53:38,751
{\an8}We need to talk.

824
00:53:38,834 --> 00:53:40,959
{\an8}- She has to go on.
- We need to talk to Shirley.

825
00:53:41,043 --> 00:53:43,501
Mac, we've got
an auditorium full of students.

826
00:53:43,584 --> 00:53:46,084
Tell them she'll be out.
We need to talk to Shirley.

827
00:53:50,584 --> 00:53:53,459
The networks just came out
with their debate schedules.

828
00:53:53,543 --> 00:53:55,168
You're not on them. None of them.

829
00:53:55,251 --> 00:53:57,043
They're saying
you don't meet the threshold--

830
00:53:57,126 --> 00:53:59,918
Whose threshold?
We were counting on these debates.

831
00:54:00,001 --> 00:54:01,209
They don't consider you--

832
00:54:01,293 --> 00:54:02,626
I filled out my paperwork.

833
00:54:02,709 --> 00:54:03,876
I've entered primaries.

834
00:54:03,959 --> 00:54:06,876
I'm polling above Lindsay,
McCarthy, Yorty.

835
00:54:06,959 --> 00:54:08,793
The networks don't care.

836
00:54:08,876 --> 00:54:11,459
- No other way to see it.
- Mrs. C, you have to go on.

837
00:54:23,793 --> 00:54:24,709
Sue them.

838
00:54:27,709 --> 00:54:28,918
Sue the networks?

839
00:54:29,001 --> 00:54:32,834
FCC mandates broadcasters
provide equal opportunity

840
00:54:32,918 --> 00:54:35,126
for any opposing political candidates.

841
00:54:35,209 --> 00:54:36,084
Any.

842
00:54:36,168 --> 00:54:38,668
So, you get a lawyer,
you get some paperwork,

843
00:54:38,751 --> 00:54:40,668
and you remind the networks

844
00:54:40,751 --> 00:54:43,168
that their licenses come
with a legal obligation.

845
00:54:47,376 --> 00:54:51,209
We got no money for a campaign,
but we're gonna sue the networks.

846
00:54:51,293 --> 00:54:52,876
-  Hello.

847
00:54:54,668 --> 00:54:57,793
- What's going on? What did I miss?
-  Hello. Thank you.

848
00:55:02,459 --> 00:55:05,334
Aren't you a lawyer?

849
00:55:05,418 --> 00:55:08,126
I'm studying to be a lawyer. What? Why?

850
00:55:12,168 --> 00:55:14,418
-  You wanna sue the networks?
-  Yes.

851
00:55:14,501 --> 00:55:17,959
The three pillars of
the Fourth Estate? ABC, NBC, CBS?

852
00:55:18,043 --> 00:55:21,376
Yeah. They're in violation
of their mandate, all three of them are.

853
00:55:21,459 --> 00:55:25,418
And them doing business as usual
just doesn't cut it. Not in this election.

854
00:55:28,084 --> 00:55:30,959
Look, you try to take on the big three,

855
00:55:31,043 --> 00:55:33,751
the money, the lawyers they have,
that whole scene,

856
00:55:33,834 --> 00:55:35,209
you're gonna lose in court,

857
00:55:35,793 --> 00:55:36,959
which is good.

858
00:55:37,584 --> 00:55:39,084
- That's good?
- It's good.

859
00:55:39,793 --> 00:55:42,376
No one's ever challenged
how the mandate's applied.

860
00:55:42,459 --> 00:55:44,584
If you lose, the case goes
to appellate court.

861
00:55:44,668 --> 00:55:47,626
You win there, if you can win there,

862
00:55:47,709 --> 00:55:50,501
you codify equal time as law, for like...

863
00:55:52,334 --> 00:55:53,876
Forever.

864
00:55:55,793 --> 00:55:59,626
But if we lose the appeal,
then nothing gets better,

865
00:55:59,709 --> 00:56:02,168
and we've made the whole situation worse.

866
00:56:02,251 --> 00:56:05,543
You'll have made it a lot worse. So...

867
00:56:07,251 --> 00:56:10,126
Before you take this to court,
make sure you've got a good case.

868
00:56:10,959 --> 00:56:13,334
You'd better make sure
you have a hell of a case.

869
00:56:16,668 --> 00:56:17,626

<i>The New York Times</i>
is going to do a profile piece on me.

876
00:57:14,918 --> 00:57:17,126
They would like to speak to the family.

877
00:57:17,709 --> 00:57:19,876
They would like to know
that you support me.

878
00:57:19,959 --> 00:57:21,626
Some things go without saying.

879
00:57:22,668 --> 00:57:25,126
In politics, some things need to be said.

880
00:57:28,668 --> 00:57:30,834
What is it you're doing
with this campaign?

881
00:57:31,543 --> 00:57:34,168
All people do, Shirley,
they talk about you.

882
00:57:34,251 --> 00:57:35,501
They say you're crazy.

883
00:57:35,584 --> 00:57:37,251
I don't care what <i>they</i> say.

884
00:57:37,334 --> 00:57:39,751
Because you're not the one
that has to hear it.

885
00:57:39,834 --> 00:57:42,668
You're not the one people ask,
"What's wrong with your sister?"

886
00:57:42,751 --> 00:57:46,751
"How come your sister bad behave?"
We don't do these things, but you--

887
00:57:46,834 --> 00:57:48,209
-"We"?
- But you going--

888
00:57:48,293 --> 00:57:49,126
Black women?

889
00:57:49,209 --> 00:57:52,084
- You gonna humiliate yourself. Us.
- The St. Hill sisters?

890
00:57:54,043 --> 00:57:54,959
You just...

891
00:57:56,209 --> 00:57:58,043
It's just how Papa raised you.

892
00:57:59,168 --> 00:58:01,251
- It's the truth.
- Hmm.

893
00:58:01,334 --> 00:58:02,626
So I don't blame you.

894
00:58:02,709 --> 00:58:05,084
No, you blame our father.

895
00:58:05,168 --> 00:58:06,501
He had four daughters.

896
00:58:07,126 --> 00:58:08,001
Four.

897
00:58:08,918 --> 00:58:11,751
But when he died,
he left you the little money he had.

898
00:58:11,834 --> 00:58:13,376
You were treated differently.

899
00:58:14,209 --> 00:58:15,376
And now you think...

900
00:58:15,959 --> 00:58:17,626
Now you think you're special.

901
00:58:19,168 --> 00:58:21,001
That's how Papa was with you.

902
00:58:21,084 --> 00:58:22,668
He made you believe things.

903
00:58:23,168 --> 00:58:24,418
They aren't true.

904
00:58:24,959 --> 00:58:28,251
He made me believe in myself.
Regardless of what people think--

905
00:58:28,334 --> 00:58:29,793
You have no regard?

906
00:58:29,876 --> 00:58:32,793
You don't care what
this campaign does to your friends?

907
00:58:32,876 --> 00:58:35,876
- I can do what is necessary.
- Family? That's what Papa would want?

908
00:58:35,959 --> 00:58:38,043
You are pushing us away over nothing.

909
00:58:41,668 --> 00:58:44,959
Muriel, is that
what you think my campaign is?

910
00:58:45,626 --> 00:58:47,251
Is that all it is to you?

911
00:58:48,168 --> 00:58:49,209
Nothing?

912
00:58:49,293 --> 00:58:53,084
Nothing is what you make
the rest of us feel like.

913
00:58:59,584 --> 00:59:00,793
No, Shirley.

914
00:59:02,626 --> 00:59:04,834

- About 1,800 altogether.

926
01:00:09,918 --> 01:00:11,793
And it was all small donations.

927
01:00:11,876 --> 01:00:13,168
Five dollars, two dollars.

928
01:00:13,251 --> 01:00:15,959
They show up,
claim to be from the Chisholm campaign,

929
01:00:16,043 --> 01:00:18,876
throw a party,
pour the liquor, steal the donations.

930
01:00:19,668 --> 01:00:21,959
-  People want their money back.
- I don't blame them.

931
01:00:22,043 --> 01:00:25,584
- They want their money back from <i>us</i>.
-  From the campaign?

932
01:00:25,668 --> 01:00:27,043
We didn't steal the money.

933
01:00:27,126 --> 01:00:29,668
Somebody did, but we're taking the blame.

934
01:00:29,751 --> 01:00:30,751
Jesus!

935
01:00:31,793 --> 01:00:32,959
I'm done.

936
01:00:33,043 --> 01:00:34,334
This isn't a campaign.

937
01:00:34,418 --> 01:00:35,543
It's a joke.

938
01:00:36,168 --> 01:00:38,834
You have no organization.
You have no infrastructure.

939
01:00:38,918 --> 01:00:41,334
You got people stealing
out from under your noses.

940
01:00:41,418 --> 01:00:42,668
Stanley, come on, now.

941
01:00:42,751 --> 01:00:45,584
This magical voter coalition
doesn't exist.

942
01:00:45,668 --> 01:00:48,418
When this blows all up,
the only thing anybody's gonna remember

943
01:00:48,501 --> 01:00:52,584
is that there were a bunch of Black folks
who made fools of themselves.

944
01:00:53,918 --> 01:00:55,959
Honest to God,
if you had any self-respect--

945
01:00:56,043 --> 01:00:58,293
If you got with the program, instead of--

946
01:00:58,376 --> 01:01:01,043
I don't need an Ivy League white boy
givin' me lip!

947
01:01:01,126 --> 01:01:02,751
Wait a goddamn minute!

948
01:01:02,834 --> 01:01:05,751
- Who the hell you think you talkin' to?
- It's not worth it!

949
01:01:05,834 --> 01:01:07,168
- You're pathetic.
- Stanley.

950
01:01:07,251 --> 01:01:09,501
- You're an embarrassment.
- Stanley. Stanley!

951
01:01:09,584 --> 01:01:11,376
Can we talk, please?

952
01:01:14,459 --> 01:01:15,334
Yeah.

953
01:01:18,418 --> 01:01:19,668
Yeah, of course.

954
01:01:20,709 --> 01:01:22,043
I'm sorry.

955
01:01:28,793 --> 01:01:32,501
Shirley, I am sorry, but somebody has
got to be the one to tell these people--

956
01:01:32,584 --> 01:01:35,793
Who the hell do you think you are,
talking to my people like that?

957
01:01:35,876 --> 01:01:37,751
They're not your servants.

958
01:01:37,834 --> 01:01:39,168
They're giving their time.

959
01:01:39,251 --> 01:01:41,793
You're drawing a check,
but you got too much mout

960
01:01:41,876 --> 01:01:43,126
to do how you get paid.

961
01:01:43,209 --> 01:01:45,626
Got plaster for every sore.

962
01:01:45,709 --> 01:01:48,668
Well, since you can't do,
let me relieve your load.

963
01:01:48,751 --> 01:01:49,626
You're done.

964
01:01:51,709 --> 01:01:54,709
- Woman, you are your own worst--
- Enough! The dog dead!

965
01:01:54,793 --> 01:01:55,834
Go!

966
01:02:31,626 --> 01:02:34,251
-  Thank you.
- You're welcome. You all right?

967
01:02:34,334 --> 01:02:35,501
I'm fine.

968
01:02:38,793 --> 01:02:40,418
Where are they, Arthur?

969
01:02:42,709 --> 01:02:44,543
I was there for white women.

970
01:02:45,084 --> 01:02:47,084
Why can't they support <i>me?</i>

971
01:02:47,709 --> 01:02:48,959
Same with Black men.

972
01:02:49,543 --> 01:02:51,543
Where are they?

973
01:02:51,626 --> 01:02:52,459
They'll come.

974
01:02:57,209 --> 01:02:59,793
Barely two months left to the convention.

975
01:03:00,959 --> 01:03:03,043
I'm running out of time.

976
01:03:06,751 --> 01:03:08,209
Too sentimental.

977
01:03:09,001 --> 01:03:10,709
I really am. I...

978
01:03:11,501 --> 01:03:14,751
just see what's going on
in the world, and it's...

979
01:03:15,334 --> 01:03:18,668
The agony of people, it moves me.

980
01:03:19,334 --> 01:03:20,709
It moves me.

981
01:03:22,626 --> 01:03:26,876
I... Conrad says
I'm not gonna live to see 55.

982
01:03:27,501 --> 01:03:31,168
Says I'm just too into this thing,
and I know I am.

983
01:03:31,251 --> 01:03:32,501
He's right.

984
01:03:34,918 --> 01:03:36,418
But it's deep with me.

985
01:03:36,501 --> 01:03:38,043
It's intense. I...

986
01:03:38,834 --> 01:03:41,543
I see too much sufferin'.

987
01:03:42,459 --> 01:03:46,543
And these politicians around here,
they... they don't care.

988
01:03:47,043 --> 01:03:48,501
They don't care.

989
01:03:48,584 --> 01:03:50,876
They just don't care.

990
01:03:51,709 --> 01:03:53,959
And I don't know how to not try.

991
01:03:54,501 --> 01:03:56,459
I believe in people. I do. I--

992
01:03:57,001 --> 01:03:58,459
I'm not naive.

993
01:04:00,043 --> 01:04:02,001
You're not realistic either.

994
01:04:02,876 --> 01:04:04,084
If you thought that

995
01:04:04,168 --> 01:04:07,293
everything you were gonna have to do
was gonna be easy...

996
01:04:09,834 --> 01:04:11,293
I mean, what do you wanna do?

997
01:04:12,043 --> 01:04:13,709
Wanna quit the campaign?

998
01:04:15,793 --> 01:04:18,043
End of the day,
it comes down to one of two choices.

999
01:04:18,126 --> 01:04:20,376
You either fight the fight
or quit the race.

1000
01:04:20,459 --> 01:04:22,334
And if you gonna quit the race,

1001
01:04:22,418 --> 01:04:25,126
get it done with,
and stop complaining about it.

1002
01:04:28,626 --> 01:04:30,668
Is this you being encouraging?

1003
01:04:32,793 --> 01:04:37,334
If you really are done
with... all of this mess,

1004
01:04:37,834 --> 01:04:40,959
I'm not gonna blame you,
and nobody else can.

1005
01:04:41,751 --> 01:04:43,918
People say I'm crazy.

1006
01:04:44,668 --> 01:04:46,459
<i>Am I crazy?</i>

1007
01:04:47,043 --> 01:04:48,209
Yes.

1008
01:04:48,293 --> 01:04:52,251
But maybe that's what it takes
to make a difference in this world.

1009
01:04:52,334 --> 01:04:56,043
And, by some slim chance,
you make it down in Miami,

1010
01:04:56,126 --> 01:04:58,168
I'mma be right there with you.

1011
01:04:58,793 --> 01:05:00,959
And I hope to God it happens.

1012
01:05:08,168 --> 01:05:09,668
Thank you, Arthur.

1013
01:05:10,293 --> 01:05:14,209
Thank you... for making us believe.

1014
01:05:16,043 --> 01:05:17,501
That's what matters.

1015
01:05:40,709 --> 01:05:43,959
-  You all right?
-  Yeah, I'm just, you know, I'm...

1016
01:05:44,043 --> 01:05:46,918
I'm really worried about
this FCC ruling the court handed down.

1017
01:05:47,001 --> 01:05:49,501
Isn't that what your man said
is likely to happen?

1018
01:05:49,584 --> 01:05:52,584
That we'd lose in court,
and then we'd take it to an appeal.

1019
01:05:53,168 --> 01:05:56,334
Yeah. I mean, he also said that,
you know, if we lose the appeal,

1020
01:05:56,418 --> 01:05:58,418
then the whole thing gets worse.

1021
01:05:58,501 --> 01:06:01,084
Eh, what's going to happen
is going to happen.

1022
01:06:03,126 --> 01:06:04,584
- What?
-  I'm...

1023
01:06:04,668 --> 01:06:07,168
Sorry. What's going to happen
is going to happen?

1024
01:06:07,251 --> 01:06:10,709
Mrs. C... that doesn't sound
anything like you.

1025
01:06:10,793 --> 01:06:12,209
I mean, you're the one...

1026
01:06:12,293 --> 01:06:16,084
You're the one who told me to
not accept things the way that they are.

1027
01:06:16,168 --> 01:06:17,126
And I meant it.

1028
01:06:17,209 --> 01:06:19,084
Yes. So everything makes a difference.

1029
01:06:19,168 --> 01:06:21,209
If I let you down,
if the appeal goes wrong...

1030
01:06:21,293 --> 01:06:23,543
- How are you letting me down?
- Not just you.

1031
01:06:23,626 --> 01:06:25,751
So many people are gonna be
massively impacted.

1032
01:06:25,834 --> 01:06:28,293
- You are putting in the work.
- It's not a small thing.

1033
01:06:29,709 --> 01:06:31,626
- Shirley Chisholm?
- Don't move!

1034
01:06:31,709 --> 01:06:34,126
- Right there! Let me see your hands!
- What?

1035
01:06:34,209 --> 01:06:36,209
Do you understand me? Do not move!

1036
01:06:36,293 --> 01:06:38,168
Don't tell me... Do not tell me what to do.

1037
01:06:38,251 --> 01:06:41,376
I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to him. Is he threatening you?

1038
01:06:41,459 --> 01:06:42,334
No!

1039
01:06:42,418 --> 01:06:44,834
No. He works with me.
Why are you asking me this?

1040
01:06:45,709 --> 01:06:48,459
Ma'am, they just shot George Wallace.

1041
01:06:57,709 --> 01:07:01,293
Five shots, point-blank.
It was a white boy that shot him.

1042
01:07:01,376 --> 01:07:04,168
- Chickens come home to roost.
- And he lived.

1043
01:07:05,418 --> 01:07:07,584
Wallace is a tough son of a bitch.

1044
01:07:08,084 --> 01:07:10,209
Nixon's going to visit him
in the hospital.

1045
01:07:10,709 --> 01:07:13,418
Nixon would make him
his vice president if he could.

1046
01:07:14,001 --> 01:07:15,793
What makes you think he won't?

1047
01:07:16,584 --> 01:07:17,626
I want to go visit him.

1048
01:07:22,209 --> 01:07:23,959
I want to visit Wallace.

1049
01:07:25,126 --> 01:07:27,043
I don't think it's a good idea.

1050
01:07:27,126 --> 01:07:28,918
I <i>know</i> it's not a good idea.

1051
01:07:29,001 --> 01:07:31,168
Nixon is gonna visit him.

1052
01:07:31,251 --> 01:07:32,751
McGovern's going. Humphrey--

1053
01:07:32,834 --> 01:07:34,418
They're signifying.

1054
01:07:34,501 --> 01:07:37,376
White men who wouldn't mind
getting a few of Wallace's voters.

1055
01:07:39,168 --> 01:07:40,293
Shirley.

1056
01:07:41,668 --> 01:07:44,793
Don't you know what it would mean
for you to go visit that man?

1057
01:07:44,876 --> 01:07:47,834
I know what it means
to have somebody try to take your life.

1058
01:07:48,334 --> 01:07:49,543
I know that.

1059
01:07:49,626 --> 01:07:51,584
Do you know what it would mean
to your base?

1060
01:07:51,668 --> 01:07:53,584
To Blacks, young people, progressives?

1061
01:07:53,668 --> 01:07:56,543
- The man is a stone-cold racist!
-"Segregation now, segregation tomorrow."

1062
01:07:56,626 --> 01:07:58,751
What does it say about you
when you ignore that?

1063
01:07:58,834 --> 01:08:01,126
What does it say about me as a Christian?

1064
01:08:01,834 --> 01:08:04,334
You are not running for Pope.

1065
01:08:04,834 --> 01:08:06,209
You're running for president.

1066
01:08:06,293 --> 01:08:08,501
All this, everything we put together,

1067
01:08:08,584 --> 01:08:10,959
and you want to throw it away
over Wallace?

1068
01:08:20,209 --> 01:08:23,209
You hired me to be your advisor.

1069
01:08:25,668 --> 01:08:27,334
That's hard as hell to do

1070
01:08:27,418 --> 01:08:29,668
when you won't listen
to the advice I give.

1071
01:08:35,626 --> 01:08:38,501
But you <i>are still</i>
going to advise me, right?

1072
01:08:42,668 --> 01:08:43,709
Mac?

1073
01:08:47,584 --> 01:08:48,584
I'll talk to him.

1074
01:09:27,876 --> 01:09:30,084
<i>What are the doctors saying?</i>

1075
01:09:30,751 --> 01:09:33,334
Well... I'll live.

1076
01:09:33,834 --> 01:09:35,209
So there's that.

1077
01:09:36,376 --> 01:09:37,418
But, uh...

1078
01:09:39,543 --> 01:09:41,376
shot me in the spine.

1079
01:09:41,959 --> 01:09:45,584
I will spend the rest of my days
looking at the world from a wheelchair.

1080
01:09:47,043 --> 01:09:49,709
Where do these people come from, Shirley?

1081
01:09:51,209 --> 01:09:54,751
I suppose it's the hate that hate creates.

1082
01:09:55,834 --> 01:10:00,959
It is not fair to lecture a man
who has got nowhere to go to.

1083
01:10:01,043 --> 01:10:01,959
Oh...

1084
01:10:02,043 --> 01:10:03,543
George...

1085
01:10:04,251 --> 01:10:06,501
I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

1086
01:10:07,126 --> 01:10:08,126
Mm-mm.

1087
01:10:08,751 --> 01:10:10,293
I've been where you are.

1088
01:10:11,001 --> 01:10:13,376
Had somebody try and take my life.

1089
01:10:13,459 --> 01:10:16,084
So close to God calling me home.

1090
01:10:16,168 --> 01:10:20,168
But... I know he spared me for a reason.

1091
01:10:22,043 --> 01:10:23,751
And I believe the same for you.

1092
01:10:25,209 --> 01:10:28,834
Now, what that reason is... Why?

1093
01:10:28,918 --> 01:10:31,543
Maybe... Maybe he wanted you to...

1094
01:10:37,001 --> 01:10:38,626
It's not for me to say.

1095
01:10:40,168 --> 01:10:43,918
But you have an opportunity.

1096
01:10:44,751 --> 01:10:48,501
To keep on how you've been
or be more than what you were.

1097
01:10:49,751 --> 01:10:52,501
And you better figure it out quick.

1098
01:10:52,584 --> 01:10:55,501
'Cause the next time,
the good Lord may not be satisfied

1099
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:57,584
with taking just half of you.

1100
01:11:06,418 --> 01:11:08,459
God is surrounding you.

1101
01:11:09,251 --> 01:11:15,001
May his light always guide you
and keep you safe in his arms.

1102
01:11:15,751 --> 01:11:17,293
In Jesus's name.

1103
01:11:17,876 --> 01:11:18,918
Amen.

1104
01:11:20,543 --> 01:11:22,251
Well...

1105
01:11:23,043 --> 01:11:25,251
You keep praying for me, Shirley.

1106
01:11:27,584 --> 01:11:28,918
Always have.

1107
01:11:36,251 --> 01:11:38,584
{\an8} <i>George Wallace
had an unlikely visitor today,</i>

1108
01:11:38,668 --> 01:11:40,459
<i>political opponent Shirley Chisholm.</i>

1109
01:11:40,543 --> 01:11:43,501
<i>The New York congresswoman was
one of the most unexpected visitors</i>

1110
01:11:43,584 --> 01:11:46,584
<i>to pass through this morning
to visit the Alabama governor.</i>

1111
01:11:46,668 --> 01:11:48,501
<i>One of the bullets is still lodged...</i>

1112
01:11:48,584 --> 01:11:52,626
You believe this shit?
And she's supposed to be Black.

1113
01:11:52,709 --> 01:11:56,376
<i>...his staunch segregationist and
populist views, seems like the last person</i>

1114
01:11:56,459 --> 01:11:59,584
<i>the congresswoman
would want to offer condolences to.</i>

1115
01:12:00,168 --> 01:12:02,334
<i>I think we've got to ask this point,</i>

1116
01:12:02,834 --> 01:12:04,501
<i>do we want to go on?</i>

1117
01:12:06,209 --> 01:12:09,918
Well, the question really is,
can we go on?

1118
01:12:11,251 --> 01:12:13,459
I think we have to be realistic.

1119
01:12:14,043 --> 01:12:15,959
Two months left in the primaries,

1120
01:12:16,043 --> 01:12:19,626
Dr. Wallace, if he stays
in the race, and McGovern.

1121
01:12:20,334 --> 01:12:21,918
There's just, for us,

1122
01:12:23,334 --> 01:12:25,293
no path to the presidency.

1123
01:12:26,501 --> 01:12:28,126
My numbers are improving.

1124
01:12:28,209 --> 01:12:31,501
Less than 3% of the vote
in Maryland and Michigan.

1125
01:12:31,584 --> 01:12:33,668
Better than less than 1%
in Wisconsin, but--

1126
01:12:33,751 --> 01:12:36,376
If I can't get the nomination,
I can still get delegates.

1127
01:12:36,459 --> 01:12:37,293
Shirley.

1128
01:12:37,376 --> 01:12:39,418
And if we can control
some of the delegates,

1129
01:12:39,501 --> 01:12:41,876
we can still force change
at the convention.

1130
01:12:41,959 --> 01:12:45,418
Get delegates from where?
All that's left on the map...

1131
01:12:45,918 --> 01:12:47,626
Oregon's for McGovern. We know that.

1132
01:12:47,709 --> 01:12:50,543
We're not even on the ballot
in Rhode Island, South Dakota--

1133
01:12:50,626 --> 01:12:52,543
But there is California.

1134
01:12:52,626 --> 01:12:54,334
California is winner take all.

1135
01:12:54,418 --> 01:12:56,459
But what if we win California?

1136
01:12:56,543 --> 01:12:59,793
Shirley, you said yourself
it'd be a waste of time.

1137
01:13:00,293 --> 01:13:02,584
I'd do whatever it takes
to compete in California.

1138
01:13:02,668 --> 01:13:04,168
It takes money.

1139
01:13:04,251 --> 01:13:06,501
Do you have money? Because we need money.

1140
01:13:06,584 --> 01:13:08,709
- We can get money.
-  We... Jesus.

1141
01:13:08,793 --> 01:13:12,668
Look, even if we enter the primary,
how do we get traction?

1142
01:13:12,751 --> 01:13:14,209
Who wants to back you?

1143
01:13:14,293 --> 01:13:15,459
Now, come on, Mac.

1144
01:13:15,543 --> 01:13:18,251
- I am just being realistic.
- Yeah, I know. But come on.

1145
01:13:20,459 --> 01:13:21,626
You want to do this?

1146
01:13:21,709 --> 01:13:24,501
We'll... figure it out.

1147
01:13:24,584 --> 01:13:26,334
But at this point,

1148
01:13:27,584 --> 01:13:31,084
without something
that's going to make some noise...

1149
01:13:38,376 --> 01:13:41,459
<i>Well, then, no, if that's it...
Were they colored?</i>

1150
01:13:45,209 --> 01:13:47,376
<i>- Yeah, white.</i>

1151
01:13:47,459 --> 01:13:52,209
Our total expenses
for the campaign have been $215,000.

1152
01:13:52,293 --> 01:13:54,168
Our liabilities,

1153
01:13:54,709 --> 01:13:58,376
outstanding debts... bills...

1154
01:13:59,876 --> 01:14:01,668
Twenty-six thousand.

1155
01:14:02,418 --> 01:14:06,376
Our payroll, if we keep it really tight,

1156
01:14:06,459 --> 01:14:08,043
2,000 a week.

1157
01:14:09,168 --> 01:14:10,709
Our cash on hand?

1158
01:14:11,209 --> 01:14:13,001
We don't have any cash on hand,

1159
01:14:13,084 --> 01:14:17,043
so to have enough money
to pay all our obligations

1160
01:14:17,126 --> 01:14:20,209
and keep the campaign going
throughout the California primary,

1161
01:14:20,293 --> 01:14:23,418
we need about $36,000.

1162
01:14:25,751 --> 01:14:29,293
Where are we supposed to get $36,000?

1163
01:14:29,793 --> 01:14:31,959
I have my congressional salary.

1164
01:14:36,001 --> 01:14:40,668
We already put in 20,000 of our own money.

1165
01:14:41,251 --> 01:14:44,418
Now you want to put in
another 36,000 on top?

1166
01:14:44,918 --> 01:14:48,251
Wh-- Why are you doing this?
Why go on? I don't understand what--

1167
01:14:48,334 --> 01:14:49,376
Conrad.

1168
01:14:49,459 --> 01:14:52,876
People walking out on you,
giving up on you.

1169
01:14:53,501 --> 01:14:57,209
I don't understand why you want
to keep going out there alone.

1170
01:14:57,293 --> 01:14:58,918
- Torturing yourself.
- I'm not alone.

1171
01:14:59,001 --> 01:15:02,418
There are people who put their blood
and sweat into what we're doing.

1172
01:15:02,501 --> 01:15:05,334
What would you have me tell them?
"Fight, but not too much?"

1173
01:15:05,418 --> 01:15:07,584
- Why do it?!
- Because it's my money!

1174
01:15:07,668 --> 01:15:08,834
It's my money!

1175
01:15:43,251 --> 01:15:44,418
You're right.

1176
01:15:46,126 --> 01:15:47,459
It <i>is</i> your money.

1177
01:15:48,876 --> 01:15:50,376
It's <i>your</i> campaign.

1178
01:15:53,543 --> 01:15:56,501
So, why even pretend to care

1179
01:15:57,793 --> 01:15:59,126
about what I think?

1180
01:16:37,709 --> 01:16:40,918
We sure appreciate you
getting the word out to everybody.

1181
01:16:41,001 --> 01:16:42,251
Do whatever I can.

1182
01:16:42,334 --> 01:16:43,751
Get the people to vote.

1183
01:16:43,834 --> 01:16:45,918
Every delegate coming to the convention,

1184
01:16:46,001 --> 01:16:48,751
that's a voice
for equal rights, civil rights.

1185
01:16:48,834 --> 01:16:50,293
That can't happen without you.

1186
01:16:50,376 --> 01:16:53,293
Fight the fight, Shirley. Finish the race.

1187
01:16:53,376 --> 01:16:54,626
- Thank you.
- Yes.

1188
01:16:54,709 --> 01:16:56,959
- God bless you.
- We gotta get you across town.

1189
01:16:57,043 --> 01:16:59,126
We got two more churches to get to

1190
01:16:59,209 --> 01:17:02,668
and a fundraiser that Mac and Conrad
have been greasing them

1191
01:17:02,751 --> 01:17:03,959
until we get you there.

1192
01:17:04,043 --> 01:17:06,251
Then you got
the rest of the day to yourself.

1193
01:17:06,334 --> 01:17:08,001
- Arthur.
- I'll get the cab.

1194
01:17:09,501 --> 01:17:10,334
Muriel!

1195
01:17:14,043 --> 01:17:15,793
Not staying for services?

1196
01:17:16,293 --> 01:17:18,418
Well, I have some campaigning to do.

1197
01:17:18,501 --> 01:17:20,376
You're staying in the race?

1198
01:17:20,459 --> 01:17:23,918
Well, I still think there are good things
we can do at the convention.

1199
01:17:26,709 --> 01:17:31,501
Muriel, I hate that you and Mother
have to listen to other people.

1200
01:17:31,584 --> 01:17:33,293
I don't want that for you.

1201
01:17:33,376 --> 01:17:34,918
I don't want that for anybody.

1202
01:17:35,626 --> 01:17:36,584
Sure.

1203
01:17:37,459 --> 01:17:38,584
Have a good Sunday.

1204
01:17:40,001 --> 01:17:42,376
Muriel, I don't think I'm special.

1205
01:17:44,293 --> 01:17:47,668
I don't. I'm just how I am.

1206
01:17:49,168 --> 01:17:51,418
And I don't know any other way to be.

1207
01:17:55,959 --> 01:17:57,168
I'm sorry.

1208
01:18:13,209 --> 01:18:14,043
Sh...

1209
01:18:45,918 --> 01:18:48,334
Thank you so, so, so much.

1210
01:18:49,001 --> 01:18:50,001
Okay. Bye-bye.

1211
01:18:55,418 --> 01:18:57,543
We got the judgment
from the appellate court.

1212
01:18:57,626 --> 01:18:58,834
They ruled in our favor.

1213
01:18:58,918 --> 01:19:02,293
ABC has to include you in the debate,
and because we missed the one on CBS,

1214
01:19:02,376 --> 01:19:04,626
they're giving you a half hour
on air to yourself.

1215
01:19:04,709 --> 01:19:06,376
- Hot diggity dog!

1216
01:19:06,459 --> 01:19:09,126
- You did it.
- Boy's gonna make a hell of a lawyer.

1217
01:19:09,209 --> 01:19:13,334
Wait, no. I didn't do this all by myself.
The folks over at the Media Access--

1218
01:19:13,418 --> 01:19:16,001
Robert, good job.

1219
01:19:16,501 --> 01:19:17,959
- Thank you.

1220
01:19:19,626 --> 01:19:20,793
Good work.

1221
01:19:20,876 --> 01:19:21,751
You did it.

1222
01:19:21,834 --> 01:19:25,501
<i>What has kept me in this election
is that I am willing to fight the fight,</i>

1223
01:19:25,584 --> 01:19:27,501
<i>irrespective of the odds that I face.</i>

1224
01:19:28,251 --> 01:19:30,209
The only reason I am sitting here now

1225
01:19:30,293 --> 01:19:34,209
is because I am unwilling
to... to accept the inequality

1226
01:19:34,293 --> 01:19:36,751
imposed by the so-called liberal media.

1227
01:19:37,334 --> 01:19:39,084
- It's Barbara Lee.
- Thank you.

1228
01:19:40,501 --> 01:19:41,543
Hello.

1229
01:19:44,293 --> 01:19:46,376
Yes. Barbara. How are you?

1230
01:19:46,459 --> 01:19:48,793
<i>I'm all right. Saw you on TV.</i>

1231
01:19:48,876 --> 01:19:51,209
<i>Sounds like you're gonna
go through California.</i>

1232
01:19:51,293 --> 01:19:54,418
Well, we're considering options.

1233
01:19:54,501 --> 01:19:57,876
Do you believe California
can make a difference for your campaign?

1234
01:19:57,959 --> 01:20:00,334
The largest delegate count of any state?

1235
01:20:00,918 --> 01:20:02,834
Of course it can make a difference.

1236
01:20:02,918 --> 01:20:06,126
<i>Look, I told you that I wanted
to do something to help the campaign.</i>

1237
01:20:06,209 --> 01:20:09,001
Something big. I spoke to Chairman Newton.
He wants to meet you.

1238
01:20:09,084 --> 01:20:12,209
Wait, little girl. Slow down.

1239
01:20:12,793 --> 01:20:15,084
Chairman Huey Newton
of the Black Panther Party.

1240
01:20:15,168 --> 01:20:17,918
He's willing to try to get
the Black Panther party to endorse you.

1241
01:20:18,001 --> 01:20:19,876
But the meeting
needs to be on neutral territory.

1242
01:20:19,959 --> 01:20:24,001
And what does he consider neutral
for a congresswoman and a Panther?

1243
01:20:24,709 --> 01:20:26,793
He'll do it at Diahann Carroll's house.

1244
01:20:26,876 --> 01:20:28,293
Diahann Carroll?

1245
01:20:28,376 --> 01:20:29,751
The actress?

1246
01:20:29,834 --> 01:20:32,709
She looks like an angel but she fights
like the devil for civil rights.

1247
01:20:32,793 --> 01:20:36,043
Huey thinks that he can get the BPP
to give you an endorsement.

1248
01:20:36,126 --> 01:20:39,959
When it comes to this election,
every voice deserves to be heard.

1249
01:20:40,043 --> 01:20:42,418
Not just some people, <i>all</i> of the people.

1250
01:20:43,001 --> 01:20:44,209
Right the hell on.

1251
01:20:44,293 --> 01:20:46,251
<i>And after what you just did to the FCC,</i>

1252
01:20:46,334 --> 01:20:47,959
a Panther endorsement?

1253
01:20:48,959 --> 01:20:50,418
People are gonna notice.

1254
01:20:51,543 --> 01:20:53,084
They're gonna have to notice.

1255
01:20:55,793 --> 01:20:56,626
Okay.

1256
01:20:57,293 --> 01:21:01,043
<i>This will be the most open
Democratic Convention this country's seen.</i>

1257
01:21:01,126 --> 01:21:03,501
Nobody's gonna get through
on the first ballot.

1258
01:21:10,418 --> 01:21:11,834
- Barbara.
-  Diahann.

1259
01:21:14,376 --> 01:21:15,251
- Mmm.
- Mm.

1260
01:21:15,334 --> 01:21:17,834
I would like you
to please meet Mrs. Shirley Chisholm.

1261
01:21:17,918 --> 01:21:18,959
Mrs. Chisholm.

1262
01:21:19,043 --> 01:21:20,709
Shirley, please.

1263
01:21:20,793 --> 01:21:23,043
It is an honor, Shirley.

1264
01:21:23,126 --> 01:21:24,626
Nothing short of an honor.

1265
01:21:24,709 --> 01:21:25,959
Likewise.

1266
01:21:26,043 --> 01:21:28,751
Come on. Let's wait out back.
Huey isn't here yet.

1267
01:21:28,834 --> 01:21:32,376
Really? Caught traffic.
Was afraid we'd keep you waiting.

1268
01:21:32,459 --> 01:21:37,043
Panthers, they run on CP time.
They'll be late to their own revolution.

1269
01:21:40,043 --> 01:21:41,918
She's funny.

1270
01:21:43,376 --> 01:21:44,418
Oh...

1271
01:21:46,418 --> 01:21:48,418
- Yes, let's get you out of the sun.
- Mmm.

1272
01:21:51,584 --> 01:21:52,751
Ms. Carroll--

1273
01:21:52,834 --> 01:21:55,043
If you're "Shirley," then I'm "Diahann."

1274
01:21:55,126 --> 01:21:58,001
I truly appreciate
you facilitating this meeting.

1275
01:21:58,084 --> 01:22:02,043
Darling, bringing together
the Black Panthers and Shirley Chisholm,

1276
01:22:02,668 --> 01:22:05,876
it's like marrying thunder and lightning.

1277
01:22:08,751 --> 01:22:10,751
Oh... Hmm.

1278
01:22:10,834 --> 01:22:12,751
It is lovely here.

1279
01:22:12,834 --> 01:22:14,376
Beautiful house.

1280
01:22:14,459 --> 01:22:15,501
Thank you.

1281
01:22:16,334 --> 01:22:17,834
Certainly cost enough.

1282
01:22:17,918 --> 01:22:19,459
Money well spent.

1283
01:22:19,543 --> 01:22:21,834
Oh, it's not about the money.

1284
01:22:21,918 --> 01:22:24,126
In Hollywood,
they throw money at you for nothing.

1285
01:22:24,209 --> 01:22:25,876
The more money, the more nothing.

1286
01:22:27,251 --> 01:22:30,084
This house, I bought it after I did <i>Julia.</i>

1287
01:22:30,168 --> 01:22:33,251
Mmm... That was a remarkable program.

1288
01:22:33,334 --> 01:22:34,168
Hmm.

1289
01:22:35,334 --> 01:22:38,459
When I did that show, 1968,

1290
01:22:38,543 --> 01:22:42,293
the first Black woman to have
her own prime-time network program,

1291
01:22:42,376 --> 01:22:44,126
playing a nurse, a professional...

1292
01:22:44,209 --> 01:22:47,043
The letters that I used to get
from some folks.

1293
01:22:47,126 --> 01:22:49,084
Know what they hated the most?

1294
01:22:49,168 --> 01:22:51,001
There was no man in Julia's life.

1295
01:22:51,501 --> 01:22:52,584
Hmm.

1296
01:22:52,668 --> 01:22:54,209
She was on her own,

1297
01:22:54,293 --> 01:22:57,668
raising her son by herself,
and getting by.

1298
01:22:57,751 --> 01:22:58,751
Thriving.

1299
01:22:59,709 --> 01:23:03,584
And for a lot of men, when they see
a woman on her own, doing for herself--

1300
01:23:03,668 --> 01:23:06,293
I can't speak to your profession,

1301
01:23:06,376 --> 01:23:08,168
but in mine...

1302
01:23:08,668 --> 01:23:12,418
Men are so used to being in control
that equality, to them, feels like chaos.

1303
01:23:13,959 --> 01:23:15,668
Well, it is still a beautiful home.

1304
01:23:15,751 --> 01:23:17,418
- Oh... Isn't it, though?
- Mmm.

1305
01:23:18,001 --> 01:23:20,043
- Diahann.
-  Hmm.

1306
01:23:21,168 --> 01:23:22,584
Get ready for a little chaos.

1307
01:23:25,418 --> 01:23:26,293
Huey.

1308
01:23:27,293 --> 01:23:28,501
Come on over.

1309
01:23:32,126 --> 01:23:35,668
I would like you to meet...
Mrs. Shirley Chisholm.

1310
01:23:44,501 --> 01:23:45,376
Shirley.

1311
01:23:45,959 --> 01:23:46,959
Huey.

1312
01:23:48,001 --> 01:23:50,543
Thunder and lightning.

1313
01:24:04,001 --> 01:24:05,001
Hmm.

1314
01:24:16,168 --> 01:24:20,376
I've come to California
'cause I'm seeking your endorsement.

1315
01:24:20,959 --> 01:24:23,459
- Why?
- Why do I want your endorsement?

1316
01:24:23,543 --> 01:24:25,668
Why do you think we would give it?

1317
01:24:25,751 --> 01:24:30,793
What did you say about us? The, uh...
"The Black Panther Party is shameful."

1318
01:24:30,876 --> 01:24:32,459
That's not what I said.

1319
01:24:32,543 --> 01:24:35,626
I said, "It's a shame
the Black Panther Party is necessary,

1320
01:24:35,709 --> 01:24:37,668
but I understand why it's needed."

1321
01:24:37,751 --> 01:24:42,126
It is needed to stand against ofays like
George Wallace, who you broke bread with.

1322
01:24:42,209 --> 01:24:45,084
I'd break bread with the devil
if it made him more Christian.

1323
01:24:46,459 --> 01:24:48,959
You understand that there is
a revolution going on?

1324
01:24:49,459 --> 01:24:55,251
And... And that the government that runs
this system is an inherently corrupt one?

1325
01:24:55,334 --> 01:24:59,876
But if you burn down the empire,
all that's left to rule over are ashes.

1326
01:25:00,459 --> 01:25:04,543
Democracy works. If it didn't,
we wouldn't be having this conversation.

1327
01:25:04,626 --> 01:25:06,834
You call brothers and sisters

1328
01:25:06,918 --> 01:25:09,501
getting beat up, shot,
choked to death by the police--

1329
01:25:09,584 --> 01:25:12,918
Exactly. And they need
to be held accountable.

1330
01:25:13,001 --> 01:25:15,418
And I'm going to force all the politicians

1331
01:25:15,501 --> 01:25:20,251
to <i>earn</i> the vote that we secured
with our rent flesh and spilt blood.

1332
01:25:20,334 --> 01:25:22,543
From Birmingham
all the way up to Binghamton.

1333
01:25:22,626 --> 01:25:25,001
You gonna do all that?
Schoolteacher from Brooklyn.

1334
01:25:27,293 --> 01:25:31,251
Yes, I am just a schoolteacher
from Brooklyn.

1335
01:25:31,334 --> 01:25:33,376
And Harriet was just a slave.

1336
01:25:33,459 --> 01:25:35,459
Rosa was just a domestic.

1337
01:25:37,084 --> 01:25:39,626
What is it you do for a living again?

1338
01:25:45,834 --> 01:25:48,334
The Black Panther Party
puts forth the call

1339
01:25:48,418 --> 01:25:52,418
to unite together to join
Sister Shirley Chisholm's campaign.

1340
01:25:53,376 --> 01:25:57,126
Shirley... has stood up
in the face to racism,

1341
01:25:57,668 --> 01:26:04,209
denouncing the sufferance of Black
and poor people at every opportunity.

1342
01:26:05,459 --> 01:26:07,376
Shirley deserves to be president.

1343
01:26:08,251 --> 01:26:09,668
And she will be.

1344
01:26:11,084 --> 01:26:13,293
When we deliver to her
the state of California.

1345
01:26:13,376 --> 01:26:16,834
<i>A place like California,
where it's a winner-take-all operation,</i>

1346
01:26:16,918 --> 01:26:20,418
{\an8}you're simply dissipating the potential
of Black delegate strength

1347
01:26:20,501 --> 01:26:22,584
{\an8}at the convention if you come here

1348
01:26:22,668 --> 01:26:26,209
{\an8}and try to run a Black
in a symbolic protest campaign,

1349
01:26:26,293 --> 01:26:28,918
and that's what Shirley Chisholm's
campaign will amount to.

1350
01:26:29,001 --> 01:26:32,751
<i>The winner-take-all votes, crucial
to the presidential nominating race.</i>

1351
01:26:32,834 --> 01:26:36,209
<i>George McGovern won
California's Democratic primary.</i>

1352
01:26:36,293 --> 01:26:38,418
<i>He got 44% of the vote.</i>

1353
01:26:38,501 --> 01:26:40,501
<i>Hubert Humphrey got 39%.</i>

1354
01:26:40,584 --> 01:26:42,334
<i>And other candidates got the rest.</i>

1355
01:26:42,418 --> 01:26:43,918
<i>The others, Muskie, Jackson,</i>

1356
01:26:44,001 --> 01:26:47,584
<i>Chisholm, Wallace, Yorty,
got a scattering few percent each.</i>

1357
01:26:47,668 --> 01:26:50,876
<i>But that gave McGovern
all 271 delegate votes.</i>

1358
01:26:50,959 --> 01:26:54,459
<i>And it's put him well on the way
to a first ballot nomination in Miam--</i>

1359
01:27:28,501 --> 01:27:31,668
Shirley, this is Oly Clark
with the Muskie campaign,

1360
01:27:31,751 --> 01:27:33,959
and Arnold Pinkney, with Senator Humphrey.

1361
01:27:34,043 --> 01:27:35,626
Ms. Chisholm, may we offer you...

1362
01:27:38,668 --> 01:27:41,084
Appreciate you coming in, Mrs. Chisholm.

1363
01:27:41,168 --> 01:27:42,668
How are you holding up?

1364
01:27:42,751 --> 01:27:45,543
I'm feeling pretty well.
Would have been better

1365
01:27:45,626 --> 01:27:48,834
if one of your candidates
had cared to drop out of the race.

1366
01:27:48,918 --> 01:27:50,543
We could say the same about you.

1367
01:27:50,626 --> 01:27:53,459
You run a good campaign, Mrs. Chisholm.
A real good one.

1368
01:27:55,709 --> 01:27:59,376
Shirley, I think we're all disappointed
with the results in California.

1369
01:27:59,459 --> 01:28:01,918
- Not just McGovern winning--
- If you can call it winning.

1370
01:28:02,001 --> 01:28:04,376
He didn't carry the state,
but he gets all the delegates.

1371
01:28:04,459 --> 01:28:07,668
Winner take all.
Those were the rules before the primary.

1372
01:28:07,751 --> 01:28:09,793
They were the rules when the people voted.

1373
01:28:09,876 --> 01:28:12,376
Not sure there's much
that can be done about it.

1374
01:28:12,459 --> 01:28:14,584
We think that there is.

1375
01:28:14,668 --> 01:28:17,418
We think we can make the case
to the Credentials Committee

1376
01:28:17,501 --> 01:28:20,709
that what happened in California
was not a democratic process,

1377
01:28:20,793 --> 01:28:23,209
and that the delegates
be awarded proportionally.

1378
01:28:23,709 --> 01:28:26,501
And we would like your campaign
to join us in the motion.

1379
01:28:27,959 --> 01:28:29,876
You all are killing me.

1380
01:28:30,459 --> 01:28:32,709
Now you're worried about being fair.

1381
01:28:33,543 --> 01:28:36,334
Vote doesn't go your way,
you just change the rules.

1382
01:28:36,418 --> 01:28:39,709
When you work on a skunk farm,
you can't complain when the shit stinks.

1383
01:28:39,793 --> 01:28:41,668
And right now, it stinks.

1384
01:28:41,751 --> 01:28:45,126
Do you want McGovern's campaign
to control the entire convention?

1385
01:28:45,209 --> 01:28:47,876
What exactly is the benefit to us?

1386
01:28:47,959 --> 01:28:49,959
You came in fourth in California.

1387
01:28:50,043 --> 01:28:52,459
You should be entitled
to some of those delegates.

1388
01:28:52,543 --> 01:28:54,168
And with the 28 you already have--

1389
01:28:54,251 --> 01:28:56,001
Senator Humphrey has asked me to relay

1390
01:28:56,084 --> 01:28:58,834
that he'd be willing to have
his Black delegates defer to you.

1391
01:28:58,918 --> 01:29:03,001
I understand you have arrangements
with Walter Fauntroy and Ron Dellums.

1392
01:29:03,084 --> 01:29:08,168
Altogether, you would go into the
convention controlling over 150 delegates.

1393
01:29:08,709 --> 01:29:13,834
McGovern only has 762 pledged delegates,
and he needs 1,500 to get the nomination.

1394
01:29:14,543 --> 01:29:15,584
I don't want to speak ill--

1395
01:29:15,668 --> 01:29:19,043
I would expect he would do
whatever it takes to get those delegates.

1396
01:29:19,626 --> 01:29:21,043
Whatever it takes.

1397
01:29:21,668 --> 01:29:25,668
We work together, we can keep him
from getting it on the first ballot.

1398
01:29:25,751 --> 01:29:27,959
If I support your suit.

1399
01:29:54,918 --> 01:29:56,543
If you do this, Shirley,

1400
01:29:57,709 --> 01:29:59,418
if you take this to Miami,

1401
01:30:01,126 --> 01:30:02,668
they will come at you.

1402
01:30:23,501 --> 01:30:26,876
{\an8} <i>Reporting from CBS News Convention
Headquarters in Miami Beach,</i>

1403
01:30:26,959 --> 01:30:29,293
<i>here is correspondent Walter Cronkite.</i>

1404
01:30:29,751 --> 01:30:31,834
The anti-McGovern
forces got together,

1405
01:30:31,918 --> 01:30:35,126
and they've challenged the legality
of the winner-take-all primary.

1406
01:30:35,209 --> 01:30:39,168
They claim that it, in effect,
denied all those millions

1407
01:30:39,251 --> 01:30:42,876
who voted for candidates other than
McGovern a voice in the convention.

1408
01:30:42,959 --> 01:30:46,834
So now, tonight, when Mrs. Pat Harris,
chairman of the Credentials Committee,

1409
01:30:46,918 --> 01:30:50,959
presents her report, there will be
a minority report on California.

1410
01:30:51,043 --> 01:30:54,168
That's a challenge to not seat
the Humphrey and other delegates,

1411
01:30:54,251 --> 01:30:57,584
but to give those 151 seats
back to McGovern's people.

1412
01:30:57,668 --> 01:31:01,043
{\an8}...with my 271-man delegation,

1413
01:31:01,126 --> 01:31:06,668
{\an8}and cast the votes
of that unanimous 271-man delegation.

1414
01:31:06,751 --> 01:31:08,668
{\an8}And I don't think I deserve any less!

1415
01:31:12,001 --> 01:31:13,709
<i>We obeyed the law!</i>

1416
01:31:14,209 --> 01:31:15,293
<i>The first time!</i>

1417
01:31:15,834 --> 01:31:17,209
<i>Seat my delegation!</i>

1418
01:31:17,293 --> 01:31:20,543
<i>I did it for you in Mississippi in '64.</i>

1419
01:31:20,626 --> 01:31:22,043
<i>In Georgia in '68.</i>

1420
01:31:22,126 --> 01:31:24,459
<i>And it's now California in '72.</i>

1421
01:31:24,543 --> 01:31:28,543
<i>I deserve no less.
Give me back my delegation!</i>

1422
01:31:28,626 --> 01:31:30,751
Willie Brown is going crazy.

1423
01:31:30,834 --> 01:31:33,584
What in the hell did McGovern promise him?

1424
01:31:34,084 --> 01:31:36,043
Secretary of Housing.

1425
01:31:36,126 --> 01:31:38,334
That's all they ever give Black folks.

1426
01:31:38,418 --> 01:31:41,043
- Secretary of Housing.
- Any word on McGovern's camp?

1427
01:31:41,126 --> 01:31:44,001
They're not interested
in making concessions at this time.

1428
01:31:44,084 --> 01:31:47,043
Why would McGovern make a deal
for delegates? He'll steal them.

1429
01:31:47,126 --> 01:31:49,293
Conrad, did you call down to maintenance?

1430
01:31:49,376 --> 01:31:51,709
They said there's nothing wrong
with the air conditioner.

1431
01:31:51,793 --> 01:31:55,418
Nothing wrong? They're all from Florida.
They don't know what good weather is.

1432
01:31:55,501 --> 01:31:57,584
Shirley...
Willie Brown is playing games.

1433
01:31:57,668 --> 01:32:01,418
This luncheon for the Black delegates...
You've got a coalition, Shirley.

1434
01:32:01,501 --> 01:32:04,084
Your delegates, Muskie's,
Humphrey's, Fauntroy's.

1435
01:32:04,168 --> 01:32:06,751
But you've got to keep them
from breaking for McGovern.

1436
01:32:07,251 --> 01:32:10,543
You need to bring
the Black delegates to Jesus.

1437
01:32:10,626 --> 01:32:14,459
Get them together and hold them together.

1438
01:32:16,501 --> 01:32:17,543
Okay.

1439
01:32:21,501 --> 01:32:22,709
It's so warm.

1440
01:32:24,209 --> 01:32:26,251
<i>Let's continue on with our program.</i>

1441
01:32:27,126 --> 01:32:29,834
Our next speaker...
Well, hell, you all know her.

1442
01:32:31,084 --> 01:32:34,376
She is the only Black woman crazy enough

1443
01:32:34,459 --> 01:32:37,793
to run for president
of these United States.

1444
01:32:37,876 --> 01:32:42,501
Give a warm welcome
for Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm.

1445
01:32:51,959 --> 01:32:53,334
Good afternoon.

1446
01:32:56,001 --> 01:32:59,168
Well... this is something.

1447
01:33:00,126 --> 01:33:01,043
Isn't it?

1448
01:33:02,793 --> 01:33:04,709
Look around this room today.

1449
01:33:05,959 --> 01:33:08,459
Go ahead. Look around.

1450
01:33:09,793 --> 01:33:12,876
Four years ago, less than 2%

1451
01:33:12,959 --> 01:33:16,501
of the delegates
at the Democratic Convention were Black.

1452
01:33:17,209 --> 01:33:21,543
Today there are 452 of you.

1453
01:33:27,293 --> 01:33:31,293
There are people here
promising you this, promising you that.

1454
01:33:31,918 --> 01:33:34,751
Well, my brothers and sisters,

1455
01:33:34,834 --> 01:33:39,376
let me tell it to you this afternoon
like it really is.

1456
01:33:39,459 --> 01:33:41,376
-  All right, now.
-  Right.

1457
01:33:42,251 --> 01:33:45,918
The only thing you have going,
my brothers and sisters...

1458
01:33:46,001 --> 01:33:48,209
There's only one thing you've got going.

1459
01:33:48,834 --> 01:33:52,751
Your... one... vote.

1460
01:33:52,834 --> 01:33:55,001
-  All right.

1461
01:33:55,084 --> 01:33:58,376
Don't sell that vote out!

1462
01:33:58,959 --> 01:34:03,168
The Black people of America
are watching us.

1463
01:34:03,876 --> 01:34:09,834
Find out what these candidates who
need our votes to get across the top

1464
01:34:09,918 --> 01:34:15,293
are going to do
for us concretely, not rhetorically.

1465
01:34:15,376 --> 01:34:16,793
Yeah! All right!

1466
01:34:23,043 --> 01:34:27,043
As I look at the faces
of the Black youth of this country

1467
01:34:27,126 --> 01:34:29,584
as I went from one place to another,

1468
01:34:30,543 --> 01:34:34,293
and they said, "Chisholm,
we know what you're going through."

1469
01:34:34,918 --> 01:34:37,751
"We know how rough and how tough,

1470
01:34:38,251 --> 01:34:40,459
but we know that you have the courage,

1471
01:34:40,543 --> 01:34:45,209
and the balls, and the audacity
to shake this system up

1472
01:34:45,293 --> 01:34:46,668
within the system."

1473
01:34:46,751 --> 01:34:49,793
-  Yeah!
- But I need your help to do it.

1474
01:34:50,876 --> 01:34:53,126
Hold on to your vote.

1475
01:34:53,959 --> 01:34:55,876
Hold on to your vote!

1476
01:35:28,418 --> 01:35:31,501
-  Sixty-one, 62, 63, 64, 65...

1477
01:35:31,584 --> 01:35:34,543
Twenty-one Louisiana delegates
are switching their pledge to you,

1478
01:35:34,626 --> 01:35:37,751
- Twelve from Mississippi.
- If they are switching, I'll take them.

1479
01:35:37,834 --> 01:35:40,418
I have 23 switching from Ohio,
nine from Pennsylvania,

1480
01:35:40,501 --> 01:35:43,418
and two from Florida.
They were originally pledged to Wallace.

1481
01:35:43,501 --> 01:35:46,126
Muskie's keeping his name
in the first round of balloting,

1482
01:35:46,209 --> 01:35:48,709
but he's directing
his Black delegates to vote for you.

1483
01:35:48,793 --> 01:35:50,084
Hey. Humphrey's dropping out.

1484
01:35:50,168 --> 01:35:51,709
-  What?
-  He withdrew?

1485
01:35:51,793 --> 01:35:53,751
He's dropping out
and releasing all his delegates.

1486
01:35:53,834 --> 01:35:55,043
To who? McGovern?

1487
01:35:55,126 --> 01:35:58,168
Like he promised, he's telling all
his Black delegates to vote for you.

1488
01:36:02,918 --> 01:36:08,043
With Humphrey's delegates,
California's, Fauntroy's, you have almost...

1489
01:36:10,834 --> 01:36:13,126
Two hundred and fifty delegates
pledged to you.

1490
01:36:14,126 --> 01:36:16,793
So McGovern can't get
the nomination in the first round.

1491
01:36:20,751 --> 01:36:22,834
- Ahh!

1492
01:36:22,918 --> 01:36:23,834
Yes!

1493
01:36:26,001 --> 01:36:26,918
Yeah!

1494
01:36:27,001 --> 01:36:29,168
Let's do this!

1495
01:36:29,251 --> 01:36:32,043
Robert! Robert, hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

1496
01:36:32,126 --> 01:36:35,793
We have not done anything yet.
You get on the phone to McGovern's people.

1497
01:36:35,876 --> 01:36:39,876
And you tell them if he wants my delegates
then he'd better start talking about

1498
01:36:39,959 --> 01:36:43,168
what's going into the platform,
who he's going to appoint,

1499
01:36:43,251 --> 01:36:44,959
to what cabinet positions.

1500
01:36:45,043 --> 01:36:46,043
Shirley.

1501
01:36:49,668 --> 01:36:50,626
Thank you.

1502
01:36:51,168 --> 01:36:53,209
I'm going to get something to eat.

1503
01:36:53,293 --> 01:36:55,543
Can't conquer the world
on an empty stomach!

1504
01:37:06,168 --> 01:37:07,251
Congressman.

1505
01:37:07,834 --> 01:37:09,876
Senator McGovern's
very excited to see you.

1506
01:37:11,209 --> 01:37:13,043
- Can I get you a drink?
- Thank you.

1507
01:37:16,084 --> 01:37:19,126
...and then to get 250 delegates
at the last moment?

1508
01:37:19,209 --> 01:37:20,709
- Whoo!
-  What was he gonna do?

1509
01:37:20,793 --> 01:37:22,293
I did not expect him to keep...

1510
01:37:22,376 --> 01:37:24,376
<i>Mr. Abernathy,
why are you on the floor?</i>

1511
01:37:24,459 --> 01:37:28,043
<i>Well, we're out here
fighting the cause for poor people.</i>

1512
01:37:28,126 --> 01:37:33,376
<i>As you know, one fourth
of our people are poor in the country,</i>

1513
01:37:33,459 --> 01:37:35,418
<i>And I'm fighting that struggle...</i>

1514
01:37:35,501 --> 01:37:37,501
Hello, it's Shirley.

1515
01:37:38,376 --> 01:37:39,793
I got your message.

1516
01:37:44,668 --> 01:37:47,709
Not that busy. Would've taken the call.

1517
01:37:51,126 --> 01:37:56,209
Well, we didn't quite get there,
but we did okay.

1518
01:37:57,376 --> 01:37:59,251
We're gonna do some good things here.

1519
01:38:00,584 --> 01:38:02,668
Some really good things.

1520
01:38:03,376 --> 01:38:05,584
I'm proud
of the things you <i>did</i> do.

1521
01:38:06,459 --> 01:38:08,668
Mom and I are watching the news.

1522
01:38:09,876 --> 01:38:11,209
You done well, Shirley.

1523
01:38:11,918 --> 01:38:13,501
You done really well.

1524
01:38:16,959 --> 01:38:18,293
Pop was right.

1525
01:38:19,626 --> 01:38:20,751
You <i>are</i> special.

1526
01:38:27,709 --> 01:38:28,876
I love you.

1527
01:38:31,376 --> 01:38:32,334
I...

1528
01:38:35,626 --> 01:38:37,043
I love you too.

1529
01:39:10,293 --> 01:39:11,793
Shirley? Come here.

1530
01:39:15,459 --> 01:39:17,376
CBS News. They want a statement.

1531
01:39:17,459 --> 01:39:19,251
Now they want a statement.

1532
01:39:19,334 --> 01:39:21,543
They had seven months.
Now they want a statement.

1533
01:39:21,626 --> 01:39:23,459
- I have a statement for you!
- Conrad.

1534
01:39:23,543 --> 01:39:25,793
- I'll give you a statement!

1535
01:39:27,251 --> 01:39:28,793
This is Congresswoman Chisholm.

1536
01:39:33,251 --> 01:39:35,001
And where did you hear that?

1537
01:39:37,209 --> 01:39:39,626
Then I would say
that your sources are wrong,

1538
01:39:39,709 --> 01:39:41,209
and I have no further comment.

1539
01:39:43,626 --> 01:39:44,626
What?

1540
01:39:45,834 --> 01:39:48,251
They're asking for my response

1541
01:39:48,334 --> 01:39:51,751
on Walter Fauntroy
releasing his delegates to McGovern.

1542
01:39:51,834 --> 01:39:54,084
- What?
- Walter wouldn't release his delegates.

1543
01:39:54,168 --> 01:39:58,543
- That's McGovern's campaign trying to--
- It's not coming from McGovern's campaign.

1544
01:39:59,543 --> 01:40:01,751
There's more than one person saying it.

1545
01:40:05,918 --> 01:40:07,084
Find Walter.

1546
01:40:07,168 --> 01:40:08,251
Walter.

1547
01:40:09,418 --> 01:40:11,459
Are you releasing
your delegates to McGovern?

1548
01:40:11,543 --> 01:40:13,501
- Shirley, hold on--
- Answer me.

1549
01:40:14,209 --> 01:40:17,126
- Can you give us a minute?
- They don't need to go anywhere.

1550
01:40:17,209 --> 01:40:18,709
Yes or no?

1551
01:40:20,459 --> 01:40:22,834
Yes, I'm giving my delegates to McGovern.

1552
01:40:22,918 --> 01:40:24,834
- Backstabber.
- No need for all of that.

1553
01:40:24,918 --> 01:40:28,043
We had an agreement.
You promised your delegates to me.

1554
01:40:28,126 --> 01:40:31,959
I told you I'd give you my delegates <i>if</i>
the voting went beyond the first ballot.

1555
01:40:32,043 --> 01:40:35,793
McGovern's going to have all he needs.
He's getting my delegates, Willie's--

1556
01:40:35,876 --> 01:40:37,834
Ugh, you and Willie are weak.

1557
01:40:37,918 --> 01:40:40,251
Selling out your own
for scraps off the table.

1558
01:40:40,334 --> 01:40:42,584
Trying to make sure
we don't get four more years of Nixon.

1559
01:40:42,668 --> 01:40:44,709
McGovern can't win over the party.

1560
01:40:44,793 --> 01:40:47,251
What makes you think
he can win this election?

1561
01:40:47,751 --> 01:40:50,793
You can fold if you want,
but the rest of us, we're fightin'.

1562
01:40:50,876 --> 01:40:52,543
Rest of who?

1563
01:40:52,626 --> 01:40:55,001
All the Black delegates
are going to McGovern.

1564
01:40:56,043 --> 01:40:58,834
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Your man, Ron Dellums.

1565
01:40:59,501 --> 01:41:02,543
He's telling all the Black delegates
to get behind McGovern.

1566
01:41:02,626 --> 01:41:04,084
- Yours too.

1567
01:41:06,501 --> 01:41:08,834
I tried to warn you about him, Shirley.

1568
01:41:08,918 --> 01:41:09,959
I tried!

1569
01:41:10,043 --> 01:41:13,334
The Black delegates
at this convention have a mandate

1570
01:41:13,418 --> 01:41:16,793
<i>from their people
not to support Shirley Chisholm.</i>

1571
01:41:16,876 --> 01:41:20,959
<i>Shirley Chisholm doesn't have
a chance. Blacks, on the first vote,</i>

1572
01:41:21,043 --> 01:41:24,918
are going to vote in terms
of meaningful political responsibility.

1573
01:41:25,001 --> 01:41:26,751
-  <i>So the reaction was...
- Sentimental.</i>

1574
01:41:26,834 --> 01:41:30,001
-  <i>Will not have political effect?
- No political effect whatever.</i>

1575
01:41:31,126 --> 01:41:34,293
-  I'm looking for Ron Dellums.
- I'm looking for Congressman Ron Dellums.

1576
01:41:34,376 --> 01:41:36,626
Congressman Ronald Dellums.

1577
01:41:36,709 --> 01:41:39,543
- I need to find Ron.
- I need you to find Ron Dellums.

1578
01:41:39,626 --> 01:41:41,834
- I asked for Congressman Dellums.

1579
01:41:41,918 --> 01:41:44,709
- You told me...
- ...to Shirley, and now going to McGovern.

1580
01:41:45,918 --> 01:41:47,501
- Mrs. C.
- Did you find Ron?

1581
01:41:47,584 --> 01:41:49,834
I looked everywhere I could think,
but nobody's seen him.

1582
01:41:49,918 --> 01:41:52,168
- Did you check McGovern's suite?
- They wouldn't let me in.

1583
01:41:52,251 --> 01:41:53,376
Go back down there.

1584
01:41:53,459 --> 01:41:55,293
No, I tried, but they wouldn't let me in.

1585
01:41:55,376 --> 01:41:57,834
You go back down there.
You get in the room.

1586
01:41:57,918 --> 01:41:59,459
Kick in the door if you have to.

1587
01:41:59,543 --> 01:42:01,626
Shirley, Ronald's on TV.

1588
01:42:01,709 --> 01:42:04,959
<i>Frankly, no other candidate
running for president could have.</i>

1589
01:42:05,543 --> 01:42:08,668
<i>It's through his vision for this party
that we've seen the beginnings</i>

1590
01:42:08,751 --> 01:42:11,126
<i>of a very powerful movement
in this country.</i>

1591
01:42:11,876 --> 01:42:16,001
<i>A movement that has
just realized its potential power.</i>

1592
01:42:17,084 --> 01:42:20,959
<i>Yet, at this moment... cynical,</i>

1593
01:42:22,334 --> 01:42:27,834
<i>even diabolical forces are moving to stop
the candidacy of Senator George McGovern.</i>

1594
01:42:28,751 --> 01:42:32,126
<i>Now, we have to ignore
the dreamers and the fools,</i>

1595
01:42:32,918 --> 01:42:34,251
<i>and get behind a candidate</i>

1596
01:42:34,334 --> 01:42:38,043
<i>who actually has the ability
to win the election in November.</i>

1597
01:42:39,501 --> 01:42:42,876
<i>That is why I am giving
my full endorsement</i>

1598
01:42:43,626 --> 01:42:45,293
<i>to Senator George McGovern.</i>

1599
01:42:50,876 --> 01:42:56,376
<i>A man who has the extraordinary ability
to lead this party into the future.</i>

1600
01:42:57,043 --> 01:42:58,959
Start working the phones.

1601
01:42:59,043 --> 01:43:01,584
Get to every delegate you can.
They cannot break away.

1602
01:43:01,668 --> 01:43:04,418
I don't care what McGovern's
promising Dellums. He can't.

1603
01:43:04,501 --> 01:43:06,001
- Go!
- Put out a statement.

1604
01:43:06,084 --> 01:43:10,043
- Ronald's got another thing coming.
- I need you to put out a statement.

1605
01:43:10,126 --> 01:43:13,084
And... release my delegates.

1606
01:43:13,168 --> 01:43:14,793
- No. Don't do this.
- Release?

1607
01:43:14,876 --> 01:43:17,626
- Shirley. No, we can still find a way--
- No. Mac.

1608
01:43:17,709 --> 01:43:18,834
Mac!

1609
01:43:19,709 --> 01:43:21,751
I owe you everything.

1610
01:43:21,834 --> 01:43:25,251
But right now, I need you to do as I ask.

1611
01:43:26,834 --> 01:43:28,501
Put out a statement.

1612
01:43:29,126 --> 01:43:30,793
Release my delegates.

1613
01:43:33,084 --> 01:43:34,293
Please.

1614
01:43:37,876 --> 01:43:39,168
I'll call the DNC.

1615
01:44:53,876 --> 01:44:57,084
Well... we had something.

1616
01:44:58,376 --> 01:45:00,251
Maybe just for a second, but...

1617
01:45:01,459 --> 01:45:02,668
we had something.

1618
01:45:07,168 --> 01:45:08,584
- I hate him.
- Mmm.

1619
01:45:08,668 --> 01:45:10,543
- I hate Dellums.
- No.

1620
01:45:12,293 --> 01:45:14,709
Ron was just doing what he had to do.

1621
01:45:16,584 --> 01:45:18,918
I'm not mad at him.

1622
01:45:24,126 --> 01:45:29,834
I understand the pressures
and everything that man was going through.

1623
01:45:30,626 --> 01:45:33,626
He stood out for so long.

1624
01:45:35,001 --> 01:45:40,043
And for me, when everybody
was ridiculing him and what have you, and...

1625
01:45:46,043 --> 01:45:48,168
I want you all to know

1626
01:45:49,793 --> 01:45:51,501
there are no bad feelings.

1627
01:45:54,751 --> 01:45:58,626
You find Ron,
and you tell him to come home to Shirley.

1628
01:46:00,918 --> 01:46:02,084
Okay?

1629
01:46:03,334 --> 01:46:05,251
You don't owe him a thing.

1630
01:46:07,293 --> 01:46:09,293
I owe him forgiveness.

1631
01:46:12,751 --> 01:46:13,668
Mm-hmm.

1632
01:46:14,543 --> 01:46:17,251
You find him,
and you tell him to come home.

1633
01:46:30,543 --> 01:46:34,293
I dragged you kids
all the way down to Florida.

1634
01:46:39,001 --> 01:46:40,751
It wasn't for nothing.

1635
01:46:45,334 --> 01:46:48,543
All the reasons that any of us had
to come down to this convention,

1636
01:46:48,626 --> 01:46:50,876
we all came for the best one.

1637
01:46:52,584 --> 01:46:53,751
We came for you.

1638
01:46:56,251 --> 01:46:57,543
Then keep on.

1639
01:47:00,376 --> 01:47:02,584
If I can't get there today,

1640
01:47:02,668 --> 01:47:05,793
you have to believe
you can get there tomorrow.

1641
01:47:11,501 --> 01:47:18,251
And if the best I was able to do
is to remind people what's possible...

1642
01:47:20,876 --> 01:47:22,709
then I'm thankful.

1643
01:47:31,043 --> 01:47:32,459
Thank you, Shirley.

1644
01:47:33,918 --> 01:47:35,543
Thank you so much.

1645
01:47:36,501 --> 01:47:37,668
Thank you.

1646
01:47:46,293 --> 01:47:49,168
Chairman O'Brien is on the extension.

1647
01:47:57,751 --> 01:47:58,918
Okay.

1648
01:48:14,376 --> 01:48:16,001
This is Shirley Chisholm.

1649
01:48:16,959 --> 01:48:18,376
I'm going to make a statement

1650
01:48:18,459 --> 01:48:21,126
that I'd like for you to give
to my pledged delegates.

1651
01:48:21,209 --> 01:48:23,918
My intention over the last seven months

1652
01:48:24,001 --> 01:48:29,209
has been to remind people
that politics in America belongs to them.

1653
01:48:30,126 --> 01:48:36,084
I have wanted to be nothing more,
nothing less, than a catalyst for change.

1654
01:48:42,834 --> 01:48:45,751
<i>Shirley Chisholm,
she opened the door for all of us.</i>

1655
01:48:45,834 --> 01:48:48,334
<i>For women of color,
and especially for Black women.</i>

1656
01:48:48,418 --> 01:48:51,543
<i>She opened that door for everybody,</i>

1657
01:48:51,626 --> 01:48:54,084
<i>and she gave everybody the confidence</i>

1658
01:48:54,168 --> 01:48:57,251
<i>that they too could run
and that they too had a voice.</i>

1659
01:49:00,376 --> 01:49:01,918
My name is Barbara Lee.

1660
01:49:02,001 --> 01:49:05,293
I represent the 13th
Congressional District of California,

1661
01:49:05,376 --> 01:49:06,751
as a member of Congress.

1662
01:49:06,834 --> 01:49:09,959
What Shirley Chisholm
tried to do was teach us

1663
01:49:10,043 --> 01:49:12,459
not only do you have to fight
to help people now,

1664
01:49:12,543 --> 01:49:14,793
but you have to fight
to change this madness.

1665
01:49:14,876 --> 01:49:17,959
Her legacy is directly connected to today.

1666
01:49:18,043 --> 01:49:23,418
And so many of us have felt like
we could take that baton and keep running.
