as old Uncle Richard

161
00:10:50,646 --> 00:10:52,548
told me when I was a boy.

162
00:10:52,614 --> 00:10:54,283
Old Brer Rabbit

163
00:10:54,350 --> 00:10:57,052
when he can't
get through one way

164
00:10:57,119 --> 00:10:59,622
he change his way.

165
00:10:59,689 --> 00:11:02,992
And by and by,
he get where he wanna be.

166
00:11:03,059 --> 00:11:06,764
[laughs]
I get you now, sir.
I get you.

167
00:11:06,832 --> 00:11:08,899
That's right.

168
00:11:08,966 --> 00:11:10,702
We is free at last.

169
00:11:10,769 --> 00:11:12,571
- Yeah!
- Yes, indeed.

170
00:11:12,637 --> 00:11:15,408
Alright, we is free at last!

171
00:11:15,475 --> 00:11:17,543
[cheering]

172
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:19,412
Ain't got no more massas.

173
00:11:19,479 --> 00:11:21,948
Ain't nobody
gonna whup us again.

174
00:11:22,014 --> 00:11:25,820
Ain't nobody gonna
abuse our womenfolk.

175
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:27,355
That's right.

176
00:11:27,422 --> 00:11:29,391
Freedom sure taste good,
don't it?

177
00:11:29,457 --> 00:11:31,526
[cheering]

178
00:11:33,027 --> 00:11:35,866
Well, maybe it tastes good..

179
00:11:35,931 --> 00:11:39,202
...but it sure ain't
gonna fill our bellies.

180
00:11:41,505 --> 00:11:44,107
How is we gonna feed
our children?

181
00:11:45,343 --> 00:11:47,712
How is we gonna
put a roof over our heads?

182
00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:50,783
Now we is free..

183
00:11:50,849 --> 00:11:52,384
...what's we gonna do?

184
00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:57,557
I say we go somewhere
where the pickings is better.

185
00:11:57,624 --> 00:11:59,359
(all)
Yeah, yeah.

186
00:12:01,495 --> 00:12:03,130
Go where?

187
00:12:03,197 --> 00:12:06,535
- Do what?
- Well, I..

188
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:08,837
I don't know right off.

189
00:12:08,904 --> 00:12:10,205
Must be some place.

190
00:12:10,272 --> 00:12:13,443
You's ignorant, Virgil.
Bone ignorant.

191
00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:15,645
- Here now, Tom--
- 'It ain't your fault, Virgil.'

192
00:12:15,711 --> 00:12:17,346
We's all ignorant.

193
00:12:17,413 --> 00:12:20,317
We's just what the massas
wanted us to be.

194
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,353
Ain't none of us
been taught enough

195
00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:26,224
to earn our keep
in the white man's world.

196
00:12:27,959 --> 00:12:29,795
'We gonna leave here'

197
00:12:29,862 --> 00:12:33,299
'we better learn how
to dofor ourselves first!'

198
00:12:35,367 --> 00:12:37,904
Well, what do you say, Tom?

199
00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:39,841
What you say we do?

200
00:12:39,907 --> 00:12:41,876
I say..

201
00:12:41,943 --> 00:12:43,978
...we stays here..

202
00:12:44,045 --> 00:12:45,213
...and farms.

203
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:47,716
Just like we've been
doing all our lives.

204
00:12:47,783 --> 00:12:49,318
But not just for Harvey.

205
00:12:49,384 --> 00:12:53,656
It gonna be part <i>our</i> own land
for our own selves.

206
00:12:53,723 --> 00:12:55,391
<i>Our</i> dirt we farms!

207
00:12:55,458 --> 00:12:58,462
Now hold on a moment, Tom.

208
00:12:58,529 --> 00:13:01,031
All I knows,
all I ever seen in my whole life

209
00:13:01,098 --> 00:13:03,100
is this here plantation

210
00:13:03,167 --> 00:13:05,904
and that little town
of company shops.

211
00:13:05,971 --> 00:13:08,406
I wanna see
some of the world, Tom.

212
00:13:08,473 --> 00:13:11,878
What the good of freedom
if, if you can't go nowhere?

213
00:13:11,944 --> 00:13:13,713
'Course, you can go.

214
00:13:15,214 --> 00:13:18,418
That the whole idea of freedom.

215
00:13:20,153 --> 00:13:23,892
Lewis, you wants to wander
for a while.

216
00:13:23,958 --> 00:13:25,360
'Ain't nobody gonna stop you.'

217
00:13:25,426 --> 00:13:27,395
'Same for all of you.'

218
00:13:27,463 --> 00:13:31,166
But maybe we don't <i>have</i> to go!

219
00:13:31,233 --> 00:13:36,139
Maybe now we can find
what we wants right here.

220
00:13:36,206 --> 00:13:39,377
I say we gotta
give freedom a chance

221
00:13:39,443 --> 00:13:42,647
and here's a good a place
to start as any.

222
00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:46,285
''Sides..'

223
00:13:48,855 --> 00:13:51,291
...what's our daddy gonna do

224
00:13:51,357 --> 00:13:54,762
when he gets back
and we's all gone?

225
00:13:54,828 --> 00:13:56,830
How do we know he come back?

226
00:13:56,897 --> 00:14:00,100
All them years he been gone
and ain't no word.

227
00:14:05,373 --> 00:14:08,678
He comin' back 'cause he say
he gonna come back.

228
00:14:10,713 --> 00:14:12,583
And your daddy,
Chicken George Moore

229
00:14:12,649 --> 00:14:15,018
ain't never said nothin' in
his whole life he don't mean.

230
00:14:15,084 --> 00:14:16,687
You hear me, boy?

231
00:14:16,753 --> 00:14:19,189
Just askin', mama.

232
00:14:19,256 --> 00:14:22,560
Now I don't wanna hear
no more about leavin'

233
00:14:22,627 --> 00:14:26,265
'cause ain't nobody goin'
nowhere till my man come back.

234
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:30,202
We is a family

235
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:33,306
and we is gonna stay a family.

236
00:14:37,645 --> 00:14:39,113
[sighs]

237
00:14:52,261 --> 00:14:55,766
Tom, Martha and me, we sure
would like to throw our lot in

238
00:14:55,833 --> 00:14:58,502
with you folks.
If you want us, of course.

239
00:14:59,771 --> 00:15:00,872
Want you?

240
00:15:02,674 --> 00:15:04,844
You just try getting away,
Ol' George

241
00:15:04,910 --> 00:15:07,981
and you'll hear hound dogs
baying at your heels

242
00:15:08,048 --> 00:15:09,615
before long.

243
00:15:21,396 --> 00:15:24,199
- Come with me, wife.
- Where are we goin'?

244
00:15:24,266 --> 00:15:26,301
I's gonna spark
in the moonlight.

245
00:15:27,871 --> 00:15:29,606
Oh, yes, you is!

246
00:15:29,673 --> 00:15:31,042
And that's gonna be
some sparkin'

247
00:15:31,108 --> 00:15:32,777
with these two young ones
hangin' on our arms.

248
00:15:32,843 --> 00:15:35,312
Don't argue with me, woman.
Just come along.

249
00:15:39,918 --> 00:15:43,655
Damned if I'm gonna get
my niggers any part of my farm.

250
00:15:43,722 --> 00:15:47,326
Well, that land has been in
my family for over a 100 years.

251
00:15:47,393 --> 00:15:50,931
I'd as soon sell out
to some carpetbaggers.

252
00:15:50,998 --> 00:15:52,299
I'm with you, Fred.

253
00:15:52,366 --> 00:15:54,601
Them niggers puttin' on
enough airs as it is

254
00:15:54,668 --> 00:15:56,671
without makin' them landowner.

255
00:15:56,738 --> 00:16:00,241
They can all own land
as far as I'm concerned.

256
00:16:00,308 --> 00:16:03,446
- What you saying, Archie?
- Their graves.

257
00:16:03,512 --> 00:16:06,515
They can own them all they want.

258
00:16:06,582 --> 00:16:08,552
(Jackson)
'Now, boys,
I respect your sentiments'

259
00:16:08,618 --> 00:16:10,687
but we've gotta be realistic.

260
00:16:10,754 --> 00:16:12,289
Somebody has to work our land

261
00:16:12,355 --> 00:16:15,225
and the niggers
are done being slaves.

262
00:16:15,293 --> 00:16:16,694
I don't like breakin' up
my holdin' either

263
00:16:16,761 --> 00:16:18,596
but I got no cash to pay wages

264
00:16:18,663 --> 00:16:20,999
so I got to parcel out shares.

265
00:16:21,066 --> 00:16:24,871
I'll never owe nothin'
to a black except a whippin'.

266
00:16:24,938 --> 00:16:26,806
And I always pay my debts.

267
00:16:26,873 --> 00:16:29,309
Fred, you are livin'
in the past.

268
00:16:29,375 --> 00:16:31,912
You can't just go around
whippin' blacks.

269
00:16:31,979 --> 00:16:34,015
The federal authorities
ain't gonna allow it.

270
00:16:34,082 --> 00:16:36,051
He's talkin' sense, boys.

271
00:16:36,118 --> 00:16:38,420
There's gonna be a circuit judge
through here regular

272
00:16:38,487 --> 00:16:40,655
and the army's here
to back him up.

273
00:16:40,722 --> 00:16:42,992
We ought to band together
and string up a few of them

274
00:16:43,059 --> 00:16:45,461
just to set a proper example
for the rest.

275
00:16:45,528 --> 00:16:47,131
Now you're talkin'.

276
00:16:47,197 --> 00:16:50,501
There's a lot more minus
than plus to that notion.

277
00:16:50,567 --> 00:16:52,036
It might sound good, but there--

278
00:16:52,103 --> 00:16:55,305
I'll tell you about
plus and minus here.

279
00:16:55,373 --> 00:16:58,576
Plus is what I come out
of the war with.

280
00:16:58,643 --> 00:17:02,748
I come out plus
a Yankee miniball in my knee.

281
00:17:02,815 --> 00:17:04,283
Come out plus a limp
that I'm gonna have

282
00:17:04,350 --> 00:17:06,553
the rest of my natural days.

283
00:17:08,455 --> 00:17:11,559
And I'm minus my brother,
sheriff.

284
00:17:13,262 --> 00:17:15,296
And I'm telling you

285
00:17:15,363 --> 00:17:17,966
no white man killed him.

286
00:17:18,033 --> 00:17:20,869
No white man killed another
in the last month of war.

287
00:17:20,937 --> 00:17:22,872
Niggers killed him!

288
00:17:27,644 --> 00:17:30,014
Every step I take

289
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,516
every time
my leg twinges on me, I..

290
00:17:32,583 --> 00:17:35,453
...I recollect who's responsible
for the..

291
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,256
...for all the pluses
and minuses

292
00:17:37,322 --> 00:17:39,591
that I gotta live with now!

293
00:17:39,659 --> 00:17:42,061
Yeah, I recollect
who done it to me.

294
00:17:44,131 --> 00:17:45,464
Niggers!

295
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,809
Well, gentlemen,
I think I'd better leave now.

296
00:17:56,444 --> 00:17:58,581
I'm bound to uphold the law.

297
00:17:58,647 --> 00:18:00,749
Gave my solemn word to do that.

298
00:18:00,816 --> 00:18:02,886
And it seems to me
that upholdin' the law

299
00:18:02,953 --> 00:18:05,455
just ain't what
this meeting's all about.

300
00:18:05,522 --> 00:18:07,091
Just a minute, sheriff.

301
00:18:08,558 --> 00:18:10,628
I'm goin' with you.

302
00:18:14,465 --> 00:18:16,602
Senator..

303
00:18:16,668 --> 00:18:18,938
...these men respect you

304
00:18:19,005 --> 00:18:21,007
'and surely
you're not for violence.'

305
00:18:21,074 --> 00:18:23,476
I agree
that misdirected violence

306
00:18:23,543 --> 00:18:25,946
is dangerous, Mr. Jackson.

307
00:18:31,585 --> 00:18:33,388
What do you have to say,
senator?

308
00:18:33,455 --> 00:18:34,856
We ain't heard from you yet.

309
00:18:34,923 --> 00:18:37,226
Yeah, what do you think we ought
to do about it, senator?

310
00:18:37,293 --> 00:18:40,763
It is my intention to acquire
property in this county.

311
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:42,833
'A great deal of property.'

312
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:44,601
Uh, if it was anybody
but you, senator

313
00:18:44,668 --> 00:18:47,338
I'd say out of hand
you was plumb crazy!

314
00:18:47,404 --> 00:18:50,074
All the land of Dixie
ain't worth a horse's apple

315
00:18:50,141 --> 00:18:51,576
without slaves to work it.

316
00:18:51,643 --> 00:18:55,781
Our niggra, under the misguided
new business arrangements

00:30:43,045 --> 00:30:44,680
They've worked hard for me
over the years.

479
00:30:44,747 --> 00:30:46,950
I'd like to wipe
the slate clean with him.

480
00:30:47,016 --> 00:30:49,819
Consider it done.
Here's my hand on it.

481
00:30:49,886 --> 00:30:52,156
Thank you.

482
00:30:52,223 --> 00:30:54,625
Aren't you done yet, boy?

483
00:30:54,692 --> 00:30:57,695
Yes, sir, Mr. Drake.
I's trying, sir.

484
00:31:00,198 --> 00:31:02,434
Gots to fix it just right.

485
00:31:24,026 --> 00:31:26,495
Well, I guess that's about it.
Much obliged, boys.

486
00:31:32,236 --> 00:31:33,770
Lila.

487
00:31:35,305 --> 00:31:37,041
It's time, Lila.

488
00:31:39,812 --> 00:31:41,947
Lila?

489
00:31:42,014 --> 00:31:43,882
Oh, Sam, how can we?

490
00:31:43,949 --> 00:31:46,485
- All those years.
- I know, honey.

491
00:31:46,552 --> 00:31:48,922
There's nothing
we can do about it.

492
00:32:17,088 --> 00:32:19,591
Well, I'm gonna miss this place
and you folks.

493
00:32:21,060 --> 00:32:24,130
'Sorry, I had to sell, but I
really didn't have much choice.'

494
00:32:26,233 --> 00:32:29,903
'The new owner should be out
in a few days to talk to you.'

495
00:32:29,970 --> 00:32:33,574
'Meantime, I suggest
you go on putting in new crops.'

496
00:32:36,044 --> 00:32:38,412
I'm sure you'll find
Senator Justin a decent man

497
00:32:38,479 --> 00:32:40,649
to work for.

498
00:32:40,716 --> 00:32:42,185
He's agreed to wipe out
your debts

499
00:32:42,252 --> 00:32:44,419
so you can start from fresh.

500
00:32:59,939 --> 00:33:02,375
Mrs. Harvey and I
wanna thank you

501
00:33:02,441 --> 00:33:05,578
for all of your kindness
and your help over the years.

502
00:33:09,149 --> 00:33:11,119
Goodbye and good luck to you.

503
00:33:15,357 --> 00:33:16,858
Goodbye, Mr. Harvey.

504
00:33:18,193 --> 00:33:19,862
Mrs. Harvey.

505
00:33:22,698 --> 00:33:25,035
'Now what's the matter
with y'all?'

506
00:33:26,069 --> 00:33:27,604
Where's your manners?

507
00:33:28,906 --> 00:33:31,575
Say goodbye to the Harveys
and wish 'em well.

508
00:33:32,877 --> 00:33:35,681
- Bye, Massa Harvey.
- Bye, Massa Harvey.

509
00:33:35,747 --> 00:33:38,750
- Bye, Massa Harvey.
- Bye, Massa Harvey.

510
00:33:43,489 --> 00:33:46,860
You was better than some, massa.

[instrumental music]

512
00:34:18,331 --> 00:34:20,967
[dramatic music]

513
00:34:34,149 --> 00:34:37,120
Now that we know who he is,
I say let's kill him.

514
00:34:38,254 --> 00:34:40,857
- No.
- Why not?

515
00:34:40,923 --> 00:34:43,593
I didn't know you were so
particular about killin' whites!

516
00:34:46,663 --> 00:34:48,565
There'll be no killing.

517
00:34:48,632 --> 00:34:50,635
We go to the law.

518
00:34:50,702 --> 00:34:52,237
White man's law?

519
00:34:53,506 --> 00:34:55,107
That's right.

520
00:34:56,742 --> 00:34:58,144
I'm sorry I'm late.

521
00:34:58,210 --> 00:35:01,148
I had to help Martha
with some chores.

522
00:35:01,214 --> 00:35:02,215
And what we gotta do?

523
00:35:02,282 --> 00:35:04,651
What's that white man
doin' in here?

524
00:35:07,055 --> 00:35:08,256
What white man?

525
00:35:08,322 --> 00:35:11,260
There's only one white man
in here as I can see!

526
00:35:18,201 --> 00:35:19,869
Ol' George?

527
00:35:19,936 --> 00:35:23,541
When the killing starts,
like holds to like.

528
00:35:23,606 --> 00:35:26,545
You've got no call
to talk like that.

529
00:35:26,610 --> 00:35:28,679
He can't help that he white!

530
00:35:28,746 --> 00:35:30,648
I don't care!
I wants him out!

531
00:35:30,715 --> 00:35:32,184
Oh, you does, does you?

532
00:35:32,250 --> 00:35:34,353
And who is you to be giving
orders around here?

533
00:35:34,420 --> 00:35:37,056
I ain't the only one around here
that feels that way!

534
00:35:43,797 --> 00:35:46,534
Well, I ain't listening
to nobody say a word

535
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,403
against Ol' George.

536
00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:51,540
No, Tom, Tom, it's alright.

537
00:35:51,606 --> 00:35:55,177
Alright, I ain't one to tarry
where I ain't wanted.

538
00:35:58,115 --> 00:35:59,749
Ol' George?

539
00:36:03,054 --> 00:36:05,356
Now I say
we ain't going to no law!

540
00:36:06,824 --> 00:36:10,095
I say we even up our own tally!

541
00:36:10,162 --> 00:36:13,533
Lewis, you best sit down
and shut your mouth.

542
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,667
'Cause you said enough
for one day.

543
00:36:15,734 --> 00:36:17,237
And you're lucky
that mama weren't here

544
00:36:17,303 --> 00:36:19,139
to hear you say that.

545
00:36:22,943 --> 00:36:28,183
I said sit...down,
little brother.

546
00:36:35,425 --> 00:36:38,095
I ain't finished with you
about Ol' George yet.

547
00:36:42,367 --> 00:36:44,735
We gots to go to the law,
don't you see?

548
00:36:46,004 --> 00:36:48,706
Ain't supposed to be
no white man's law.

549
00:36:49,807 --> 00:36:52,479
Only supposed to be one law!

550
00:36:52,546 --> 00:36:55,415
- <i>The</i> law!
- You daft, Tom?

551
00:36:55,482 --> 00:36:59,487
(Virgil)
'Hmm? You try to set the law
on white folks'

552
00:36:59,554 --> 00:37:01,389
they're gonna lynch you,
brother.

553
00:37:01,455 --> 00:37:03,491
Maybe, maybe not.

554
00:37:03,559 --> 00:37:06,595
But we got to find out,
don't we?

555
00:37:06,662 --> 00:37:08,665
If we don't give the law
a chance

556
00:37:08,730 --> 00:37:10,933
freedom ain't worth a damn!

557
00:37:20,711 --> 00:37:23,881
Now who going into town
with me to see the sheriff?

558
00:38:04,663 --> 00:38:08,401
You is a plumb
stubborn fool!

559
00:38:10,570 --> 00:38:11,771
Damn you!

560
00:38:11,838 --> 00:38:13,940
What are you
so all fired up about?

561
00:38:15,242 --> 00:38:17,978
Why you gotta be the one
to step forward?

562
00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:20,382
You ain't even oldest!

563
00:38:20,448 --> 00:38:23,451
Why you gotta be the big man
every time?

564
00:38:28,691 --> 00:38:32,195
'Cause I wants to look my daddy
in the eye when next we meet.

565
00:38:34,131 --> 00:38:37,302
'Cause I want our children
growing up in freedom.

566
00:38:39,170 --> 00:38:41,439
'Cause too many suffered
to bring us this far.

567
00:38:41,506 --> 00:38:43,509
Now ain't the time to go back.

568
00:38:45,878 --> 00:38:48,481
'Cause somebody
got to stand up, Irene.

569
00:38:49,616 --> 00:38:51,217
Is that so?

570
00:38:53,386 --> 00:38:56,290
Well, somebody gotta mind
his wife and babies too.

571
00:38:58,326 --> 00:39:01,896
Now who gonna do that
after they...shoots you?

572
00:39:01,962 --> 00:39:03,665
- Or hangs you up?
- Irene.

573
00:39:03,733 --> 00:39:05,802
Oh!

574
00:39:05,867 --> 00:39:08,071
- Oh, don't go.
- Irene.

575
00:39:08,137 --> 00:39:10,073
Irene.

576
00:39:10,139 --> 00:39:12,609
- Oh, please, please.
- I've gots to.

577
00:39:15,879 --> 00:39:20,151
Oh, Tom, I'm so scared.

578
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,190
Tom.

579
00:39:24,256 --> 00:39:26,592
I don't want 'em to hurt you.

580
00:39:29,195 --> 00:39:31,631
I ain't nothing
without you, Tom.

581
00:39:33,735 --> 00:39:36,237
Irene, I's scared too.

582
00:39:37,739 --> 00:39:41,276
But I just can't not go.

583
00:39:49,619 --> 00:39:51,955
I hate you for doing this.

584
00:39:54,358 --> 00:39:56,728
I'd give anything,
say anything

585
00:39:56,795 --> 00:39:59,431
do anything to make you stay.

586
00:40:08,475 --> 00:40:11,211
But I is proud of you,
Tom Harvey.

587
00:40:13,815 --> 00:40:17,018
Oh, I's terrible proud of you.

588
00:40:33,069 --> 00:40:34,972
- Now.
- What?

589
00:40:36,007 --> 00:40:38,943
There's only one thing.

590
00:40:39,010 --> 00:40:41,513
I am going
into the company shops with you.

591
00:40:41,580 --> 00:40:42,749
No. You's talking crazy.

592
00:40:42,816 --> 00:40:44,983
- There's no telling what's--
- I am going.

593
00:40:45,050 --> 00:40:48,388
- You is, you is!
- Yes, Tom.

594
00:40:57,065 --> 00:40:59,201
You is one fine woman.

595
00:41:01,838 --> 00:41:03,706
That's what you is.

596
00:41:05,642 --> 00:41:07,711
You is one fine woman.

597
00:41:24,297 --> 00:41:26,466
(Biggs)
'Well, well, well.'

598
00:41:28,569 --> 00:41:31,272
You're a one smart man,
Tom Harvey.

599
00:41:34,275 --> 00:41:36,745
Fancy you figuring out
something like this?

600
00:41:39,949 --> 00:41:42,084
There's no doubt about it.

601
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:44,955
You got them dead to rights.

602
00:41:45,021 --> 00:41:47,591
You did good
coming to be though.

603
00:41:50,628 --> 00:41:52,797
Had you told anybody else
about this?

604
00:41:53,965 --> 00:41:55,500
Just my kin.

605
00:41:59,037 --> 00:42:01,340
What you gonna do
about it, sheriff?

606
00:42:01,407 --> 00:42:03,477
Well, I'm, I'm gonna
get after him, Tom.

607
00:42:04,444 --> 00:42:06,513
But I gotta handle this careful.

608
00:42:06,580 --> 00:42:08,750
I mean, this is,
this is not just locking up

609
00:42:08,816 --> 00:42:10,585
some Saturday night drunk.

610
00:42:12,021 --> 00:42:14,155
I gotta-gotta study.

611
00:42:14,222 --> 00:42:16,392
'I got to figure out
how to handle this.'

612
00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:28,372
But I...tell you
what I want you to do.

613
00:42:29,975 --> 00:42:32,410
Uh, you go on home

614
00:42:32,477 --> 00:42:34,346
'...and just go on
about your business.'

615
00:42:34,413 --> 00:42:37,149
It's best that folks
don't know you got anything

616
00:42:37,215 --> 00:42:39,117
to do with this just right yet.

617
00:42:39,184 --> 00:42:40,954
Yes, sir.

618
00:42:41,021 --> 00:42:43,089
You take care of it then?

619
00:42:45,158 --> 00:42:47,194
Well, I guess I got to, Tom.

620
00:42:48,329 --> 00:42:50,331
I guess I got to.

621
00:43:05,616 --> 00:43:08,886
- Tom?
- I think we done right.

622
00:43:10,488 --> 00:43:13,859
I think the law is the law.

623
00:43:13,926 --> 00:43:15,461
What happened?

624
00:43:15,527 --> 00:43:18,565
Heard me out and he going after
them, that's what happened.

625
00:43:20,333 --> 00:43:22,302
What you two doin' here?

626
00:43:24,137 --> 00:43:27,475
Well, you're one crazy fool.

627
00:43:29,077 --> 00:43:30,912
But you still our brother.

628
00:43:30,979 --> 00:43:32,115
You sure?

629
00:43:32,180 --> 00:43:34,549
He going after them, honey.
Don't worry.

630
00:43:46,931 --> 00:43:48,265
[knock on door]

631
00:43:49,834 --> 00:43:51,436
Yeah.

632
00:43:56,043 --> 00:43:58,945
- Can I come in?
- Sure.

633
00:44:07,689 --> 00:44:09,290
You alright?

634
00:44:12,695 --> 00:44:15,264
Ol' George, I sorry
about what happened.

635
00:44:15,330 --> 00:44:17,801
You knows how we feel about you.

636
00:44:17,867 --> 00:44:19,070
Yeah, I guess I do.

637
00:44:19,136 --> 00:44:21,371
After last night, I guess I do.

638
00:44:21,438 --> 00:44:22,606
Don't go on like that.

639
00:44:22,673 --> 00:44:25,844
Lewis got no more sense
than a bumblebee

640
00:44:25,911 --> 00:44:29,481
when his blood's up.
Don't mean nothin'.

641
00:44:29,548 --> 00:44:31,283
If Lewis didn't mean
what he said

642
00:44:31,349 --> 00:44:33,453
then why ain't he here
instead of you?

643
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:34,821
He come around, Martha.

644
00:44:34,887 --> 00:44:37,891
He just needs more time
to collect hisself.

645
00:44:40,294 --> 00:44:43,263
Well, Tom, I guess

646
00:44:43,330 --> 00:44:45,867
maybe I need some time too.

647
00:44:45,934 --> 00:44:47,635
Sure, you do.

648
00:45:01,251 --> 00:45:03,788
George.

649
00:45:03,855 --> 00:45:05,289
What?

650
00:45:05,356 --> 00:45:06,992
Maybe we've been here
long enough.

651
00:45:08,961 --> 00:45:11,898
Maybe we best be thinking
of striking out for ourselves..

652
00:45:13,432 --> 00:45:15,335
...while we're still
young enough.

653
00:45:18,939 --> 00:45:21,142
Now I'm sure
you've all been concerned

654
00:45:21,209 --> 00:45:25,447
about what's going to happen
now that Mr. Harvey has left.

655
00:45:25,514 --> 00:45:29,218
Well, let me reassure you
that nothing is going to change.

656
00:45:29,284 --> 00:45:32,855
'Mr. Harvey's agreement
with you will be honored.'

657
00:45:32,922 --> 00:45:35,092
'You will receive
a fair percentage'

658
00:45:35,159 --> 00:45:37,361
of the crops you raise.

659
00:45:37,427 --> 00:45:40,430
Well, what do you say to that?

660
00:45:40,497 --> 00:45:42,700
It's very kind of you, sir.

661
00:45:42,767 --> 00:45:44,869
But if Mr. Brent
gonna be in charge

662
00:45:44,936 --> 00:45:47,840
I don't think
my people wants to stay on.

663
00:45:52,012 --> 00:45:54,114
Well..

664
00:45:54,181 --> 00:45:56,016
...you're free, uh

665
00:45:56,083 --> 00:45:57,919
to go, of course

666
00:45:57,985 --> 00:46:00,388
'just as soon as
you pay up your debt.'

667
00:46:01,823 --> 00:46:03,491
What debt?

668
00:46:05,093 --> 00:46:08,298
According to the farm's ledger,
you was advanced $235

669
00:46:08,363 --> 00:46:12,368
worth of seed, grain and other
supplies against future crops.

670
00:46:12,435 --> 00:46:15,139
But Mr. Harvey said
he fixed that.

671
00:46:15,206 --> 00:46:17,141
Told us we was free and clear.

672
00:46:17,208 --> 00:46:19,877
Hmm, that's peculiar.

673
00:46:19,945 --> 00:46:21,947
The agreements are on file
at the county clerk's office

674
00:46:22,013 --> 00:46:24,616
and I don't recall seeing that
in the deed of sale.

675
00:46:27,787 --> 00:46:30,389
Now you work hard on your share.

676
00:46:30,456 --> 00:46:33,193
It'll reduce your debt
considerably.

677
00:46:33,260 --> 00:46:36,630
(Evan)
Two hundred and thirty five
dollars ain't all that much.

678
00:46:36,697 --> 00:46:38,498
But in the meantime

679
00:46:38,565 --> 00:46:40,535
don't nobody try leaving here.

680
00:46:40,602 --> 00:46:41,836
You see, it's a legal matter.

681
00:46:41,903 --> 00:46:44,439
We can get the sheriff
to lock you up.

682
00:46:45,975 --> 00:46:47,576
Senator, sir?

683
00:46:48,611 --> 00:46:51,581
Is this what you wants?

684
00:46:51,648 --> 00:46:55,152
I thought I made it clear, boy.

685
00:46:55,219 --> 00:46:57,555
'Mr. Brent speaks for me.'

686
00:47:01,059 --> 00:47:04,529
Aah, Mr. Johnson,
we were wondering

687
00:47:04,596 --> 00:47:07,834
what your plans are
now that Mr. Harvey's left.

688
00:47:07,901 --> 00:47:10,036
Well, I ain't got
no special p-plans, sir.

689
00:47:10,103 --> 00:47:12,339
I'll just go on
working my share, I guess.

690
00:47:12,405 --> 00:47:13,874
I'm afraid
that won't do, George.

691
00:47:13,941 --> 00:47:16,043
You see me and the senator,
we got certain feelings

692
00:47:16,110 --> 00:47:19,748
about, uh, white folks
sharecropping alongside niggers.

693
00:47:19,814 --> 00:47:21,816
Why should a smart
young fellow like you

694
00:47:21,883 --> 00:47:23,685
want to work
like a common field hand

695
00:47:23,752 --> 00:47:27,523
when there are other
opportunities to consider, huh?

696
00:47:27,590 --> 00:47:29,927
(Evan)
'We need somebody to keep
his eye on things for us'

697
00:47:29,993 --> 00:47:33,364
'to make sure
the work gets done.'

698
00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:35,432
Job's yours if you want it.

699
00:47:35,499 --> 00:47:38,603
Oh, I don't know, Mr. Brent,
I ain't much about overseein'.

700
00:47:38,670 --> 00:47:40,605
(Evan)
'I'll pay you a good wage.'

701
00:47:40,672 --> 00:47:42,641
'And if things work out,
maybe someday'

702
00:47:42,708 --> 00:47:44,710
'you and your family can, uh'

703
00:47:44,777 --> 00:47:46,413
'move into the main house
here, huh?'

704
00:47:46,478 --> 00:47:48,547
'That's fair, ain't it?'

705
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:01,296
Alright, I'll do it.

706
00:48:01,364 --> 00:48:04,033
Good boy, Georgie, good boy.

707
00:48:04,100 --> 00:48:06,569
Uh, we'll settle
the details later.

708
00:48:06,636 --> 00:48:08,037
'Senator?'

709
00:48:08,104 --> 00:48:10,808
I think that's everything
for now, Evan.

710
00:48:10,874 --> 00:48:14,745
I'm looking forward to
a long and happy association.

711
00:48:14,812 --> 00:48:17,849
You'll find me a fair man
to work for

712
00:48:17,916 --> 00:48:20,885
if you're willing
to meet me...halfway.

713
00:48:24,824 --> 00:48:27,027
Next time I'm back here, George

714
00:48:27,094 --> 00:48:29,663
I expect to see all these
darkies out in the fields

715
00:48:29,730 --> 00:48:31,698
where they belong.

716
00:48:31,765 --> 00:48:34,202
I want you in town
reporting to me regular, huh?

717
00:48:40,943 --> 00:48:44,381
I do hope you're gonna
behave yourself, boy.

718
00:48:44,447 --> 00:48:46,182
I surely do.

719
00:48:52,690 --> 00:48:53,991
[knock on door]

720
00:48:59,998 --> 00:49:02,368
Oh, howdy, sheriff?
Come on in.

721
00:49:02,435 --> 00:49:04,070
Howdy, Evan?

722
00:49:11,513 --> 00:49:14,916
You know, Evan, we've been
friends for a long time.

723
00:49:16,251 --> 00:49:17,886
I want you to know that.

724
00:49:19,055 --> 00:49:20,790
Sure, I know that, Charlie.

725
00:49:20,856 --> 00:49:22,325
What's got into you?

726
00:49:22,392 --> 00:49:24,895
And, uh, I'm on your side.

727
00:49:26,430 --> 00:49:28,965
You understand that,
don't you?

728
00:49:29,032 --> 00:49:30,902
Sheriff, you been drinking?

729
00:49:30,968 --> 00:49:32,036
[scoffs]

730
00:49:32,103 --> 00:49:35,606
No, I, I don't think
I could get drunk tonight.

731
00:49:35,673 --> 00:49:37,843
No? Why?
Why can't you get drunk?

732
00:49:39,778 --> 00:49:41,514
'Cause I know
who every single one of them

733
00:49:41,580 --> 00:49:43,683

734
00:49:43,750 --> 00:49:45,985
I got proof.

735
00:49:46,052 --> 00:49:48,355
'Proof I'm gonna turn over to
the federal circuit court judge'

736
00:49:48,422 --> 00:49:50,658
'when he comes riding
through here next weekend.'

737
00:49:50,724 --> 00:49:53,727
- You got what?
- You heard me, Evan.

738
00:49:53,794 --> 00:49:56,765
I got proof.
Tom Harvey gave it to me.

739
00:49:56,832 --> 00:49:58,434
'Now I don't want the proof'

740
00:49:58,501 --> 00:49:59,836
'and I don't wanna know
what I know'

741

'but I know it for a real fact.'

Unless somebody does somethin'.

743
00:50:04,575 --> 00:50:06,844
Then I'm sworn to do somethin'
that'll make me a hated man

744
00:50:06,910 --> 00:50:09,913
in this county, for the rest
of my natural life.

745
00:50:09,980 --> 00:50:12,417
Unless, somebody does
something to Tom Harvey

746
00:50:12,484 --> 00:50:14,453
to make him pull back
his evidence.

747
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,022
Eh, do something like what? Uh..

748
00:50:17,089 --> 00:50:19,725
Evan, I'm sick enough as it is.

749
00:50:19,792 --> 00:50:22,229
Had myself for not
to go this far.

750
00:50:22,295 --> 00:50:25,799
Now, do I have to lay out
the whole plan for you too?

751
00:50:25,866 --> 00:50:29,704
No, no need for that.

752
00:50:29,770 --> 00:50:32,940
You've done enough, sheriff,
you've done enough.

753
00:50:43,254 --> 00:50:45,688
Uh, I guess you're just
have to see if I can--

754
00:50:45,755 --> 00:50:47,725
Evan, I don't-I don't wanna
know another word.

755
00:50:50,529 --> 00:50:52,130
Now, I'm an officer of the law.

756
00:50:52,197 --> 00:50:55,301
And sometimes an officer
of the law, well

757
00:50:55,368 --> 00:50:58,404
he just ain't got
no choice in somethings.

758
00:50:58,471 --> 00:51:00,274
You understand what I mean?

759
00:51:00,340 --> 00:51:01,674
Hmm.

760
00:51:03,143 --> 00:51:05,946
Won't nobody
misunderstand, sheriff.

761
00:51:06,013 --> 00:51:08,149
I'll see to that.

762
00:51:11,819 --> 00:51:15,891
Well, thank you, Evan,
I...much obliged to you.

going to the sheriff

tonight, George.

956
01:05:55,557 --> 01:05:57,527
Been so long..

957
01:05:57,594 --> 01:06:00,463
...just like
the very first time.

958
01:06:07,004 --> 01:06:08,072
Mm.

959
01:06:09,608 --> 01:06:11,409
- Tildy.
- Hmm?

960
01:06:11,476 --> 01:06:12,911
What's goin' on here?

961
01:06:14,379 --> 01:06:17,916
Tom whipped,
and this Evan Brent in charge.

962
01:06:17,984 --> 01:06:19,720
Nothin' that won't keep
till morning.

963
01:06:19,785 --> 01:06:22,088
- Yeah, but..
- Hush, now.

964
01:06:23,490 --> 01:06:24,691
Brent and his like done

965
01:06:24,757 --> 01:06:27,060
stole most our lives away.

966
01:06:28,263 --> 01:06:31,399
Let's keep this one night
for ourselves.

967
01:06:31,466 --> 01:06:34,336
[whispers]
Oh, my sweet, sweet mama.

968
01:06:44,715 --> 01:06:45,683
[rooster crowing]

969
01:06:45,750 --> 01:06:47,518
Yes, indeed.

970
01:06:47,585 --> 01:06:50,988
The family sure owes a lot
to these two birds.

971
01:06:51,055 --> 01:06:53,258
With the money they won me

972
01:06:53,325 --> 01:06:55,728
I bought us some land
in Tennessee.

973
01:06:55,794 --> 01:06:57,463
Land so rich and black.

974
01:06:57,530 --> 01:07:01,100
You can plant a, a pig's tail
and a hog will grow.

975
01:07:01,167 --> 01:07:02,569
[laughs]

976
01:07:02,636 --> 01:07:04,071
Daddy.

977
01:07:04,138 --> 01:07:06,407
Ain't you heard a word we said?

978
01:07:08,075 --> 01:07:09,877
We can'ts go to Tennessee.

979
01:07:09,944 --> 01:07:11,880
'We can'ts go nowhere.'

980
01:07:13,048 --> 01:07:15,318
Oh, you mean Brent's bunch?

981
01:07:15,384 --> 01:07:18,555
Oh, wouldn't worry
about that none.

982
01:07:21,258 --> 01:07:24,127
I've been in worse situations
in the war.

983
01:07:25,162 --> 01:07:27,031
- 'Daddy.'
- Hmm?

984
01:07:27,098 --> 01:07:29,300
(Tom)
'What you gettin' at?'

985
01:07:32,237 --> 01:07:34,406
Alright.

986
01:07:34,473 --> 01:07:37,544
Let's look at it like
it was a military operation.

987
01:07:37,610 --> 01:07:38,712
Yeah?

988
01:07:38,778 --> 01:07:41,948
'Here we are surrounded
by the enemy.'

989
01:07:42,015 --> 01:07:45,754
Outnumbered, outgunned
and half our troops

990
01:07:45,821 --> 01:07:47,489
are women and children.

991
01:07:47,556 --> 01:07:49,257
'Now..'

992
01:07:49,324 --> 01:07:51,360
'...on the face of it,
it looks a bit bad.'

993
01:07:51,426 --> 01:07:54,330
'Look like we're in
a hopeless position.'

994
01:07:55,765 --> 01:07:58,167
And that's our one strong point.

995
01:08:00,937 --> 01:08:03,842
Don't really sound like
no strong point to me, daddy.

996
01:08:03,907 --> 01:08:05,343
The way I figure it.

997
01:08:05,410 --> 01:08:07,278
Uh, Brent
and this, uh, senator must be

998
01:08:07,345 --> 01:08:09,615
feelin' mighty smug
right until here.

999
01:08:09,682 --> 01:08:12,218
Feel like they got us
right where they want us.

1000
01:08:12,284 --> 01:08:15,756
Toeing the line,
scared to death.

1001
01:08:15,822 --> 01:08:19,259
Well, from now on..

1002
01:08:19,326 --> 01:08:22,363
...we gonna do everything
we can do to make sure

1003
01:08:22,430 --> 01:08:25,066
they go right on
feelin' that way.

1004
01:08:29,904 --> 01:08:31,073

1005

(George)
'Clumsy fool!'

1006
01:08:32,941 --> 01:08:34,644
Here, look after Mrs. Randall.

1007
01:08:34,711 --> 01:08:37,280
I wanna see
what's goin' on out there.

1008
01:08:39,149 --> 01:08:40,718
[dog barking]

1009

(George)
'You dumb black boy'

1010
01:08:42,086 --> 01:08:44,155
'now, can't I trust you
to do nothin' right?'

1011
01:08:44,221 --> 01:08:46,892
'I want every grain
of that back in the sack.'

1012
01:08:46,957 --> 01:08:48,160
(Tom)
'I's trying, Mr..'

1013
01:08:48,226 --> 01:08:50,563
[indistinct chatter]

1014
01:08:52,465 --> 01:08:54,835
I is trying, Mr. George,
I is trying.

1015
01:08:54,902 --> 01:08:57,069
Yeah, but you ain't tryin'
harder, look, I don't want

1016
01:08:57,136 --> 01:08:58,739
no sack full of dirt,
you do it careful.

1017
01:08:58,806 --> 01:09:01,041
- Yes, sir.
- Those darks!

1018
01:09:01,108 --> 01:09:02,309
Oh, yeah, it's bad enough
on their slavery

1019
01:09:02,376 --> 01:09:04,646
now they're just
downright useless.

1020
01:09:06,448 --> 01:09:07,850
I's done, sir.

1021
01:09:07,917 --> 01:09:10,219
So what you waitin' on, boy?

1022
01:09:10,286 --> 01:09:13,757
Get the rest of the sack
out of there!

1023
01:09:13,824 --> 01:09:15,826
Yes, sir.

1024
01:09:15,892 --> 01:09:18,228
Would you move
your black backside?

1025
01:09:18,295 --> 01:09:19,697
Move it! Move it!

1026
01:09:24,535 --> 01:09:27,506
- Well, George.
- Oh, Mr. Brent.

1027
01:09:27,573 --> 01:09:29,007
I see you've learned
a thing or two.

1028
01:09:29,074 --> 01:09:31,411
Well, I wasn't too sure
about takin' this job

1029
01:09:31,478 --> 01:09:33,480
overseeing them darkies
as you well know.

1030
01:09:33,546 --> 01:09:34,647
But..

1031
01:09:34,714 --> 01:09:38,151
...I wanna tell ya,
it beats farming all to hell.

1032
01:09:38,219 --> 01:09:39,553
I wanna thank you.

1033
01:09:39,620 --> 01:09:41,455
It's alright, son.

1034
01:09:41,522 --> 01:09:44,960
- Just don't you let up here.
- Oh, don't you worry.

1035
01:09:45,026 --> 01:09:47,730
So I keeps on them all the time.

1036
01:09:47,797 --> 01:09:51,133
You'll do, Georgie, You'll do.

1037
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,605
Oh, please, sir. Please.

1038
01:09:58,843 --> 01:10:00,778
We don't want no more trouble.

1039
01:10:02,447 --> 01:10:05,049
If a my man goes up
in front of the judge..

1040
01:10:06,117 --> 01:10:08,487
...well, they'll kill him sure.

1041

I got...two little babies, sir.

1042
01:10:15,897 --> 01:10:18,366
Now, what are we gonna do
if they kills my man?

1043
01:10:21,970 --> 01:10:24,105
Oh, please, sir.

1044
01:10:25,541 --> 01:10:28,711
You mean, Tom wants to forget
this whole thing..

1045
01:10:31,047 --> 01:10:33,651
...and drop the charges?

1046

Oh, sheriff, sir,
I swears to God

1047

you ain't never gonna hear
from him again.

Well, you seem like a good girl.

1049
01:10:43,495 --> 01:10:46,164
So I'm gonna do somethin'
that I hadn't ought to do.

1050
01:10:55,242 --> 01:10:57,377
This is your husband's property.

1051
01:10:58,613 --> 01:11:01,449
You do with it
what's you wanna do.

1052
01:11:13,864 --> 01:11:15,800
God bless you, sir.

1053

[dog barking in distance]

1054
01:11:39,461 --> 01:11:42,263
I think that's about
everything he asked for.

1055
01:11:44,232 --> 01:11:45,868
Thank you, sir.

1056
01:11:45,935 --> 01:11:47,603
Just a minute there, boy.

1057
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,575
I ain't done with you yet.

1058
01:11:53,778 --> 01:11:54,779
Yes, sir?

1059
01:11:54,846 --> 01:11:57,181
Fetch me a dipper
of water, nigger.

Ah.

1063
01:12:28,786 --> 01:12:31,088
Yeah, I do believe
that it's the sweetest water

1064
01:12:31,156 --> 01:12:33,657
I ever tasted.

1065
01:12:33,725 --> 01:12:35,292
Yes, sir.

1066
01:12:35,359 --> 01:12:37,262
Fetch you some more, sir?

1067
01:12:38,030 --> 01:12:39,832
No.

1068
01:12:39,899 --> 01:12:42,268
I'll assure
you did appreciate it.

1069
01:12:44,737 --> 01:12:46,640
You shapin' up
into a good boy, Tom.

1070
01:12:46,707 --> 01:12:48,208
- Good boy.
- Thank you, sir.

1071
01:12:48,275 --> 01:12:50,044
I's tryin', sir.

1072
01:12:50,111 --> 01:12:52,245
Yeah, you can run along now.

You see that uppity Tom
how he fetch me

1076
01:13:13,872 --> 01:13:16,842
a dipper of water,
nice and polite?

1077
01:13:16,908 --> 01:13:19,478
- Yes, I did.

Well, is somethin'
troubling you, senator?

1083
01:13:33,260 --> 01:13:34,996
Well, it's been my experience

1084
01:13:35,064 --> 01:13:36,564
that one should not depend on

1085

have things well in hand.

I do not reject the miracle.

it should be put to the test.

A little drive out
there unannounced..

gettin' on, George.

Hold them.

- Let's go.
- No.

1274
01:24:19,987 --> 01:24:22,055
Not yet.

1275

Mathilda, I know
you's sorry to be leavin'

1276
01:24:25,393 --> 01:24:26,794

maybe 14, 15 years.

I lost count.

1282
01:24:42,078 --> 01:24:45,349
I helped Irene
birth all the grandchildren.

1283

Seen 'em grow.

1284
01:24:50,023 --> 01:24:53,526
I held her second baby
in my arms when she died.

1285
01:24:55,528 --> 01:24:58,164
We buried that sweet lamb
at the end of the cabin row

1286
01:24:58,231 --> 01:25:00,367
by the willow.

1287

you is a foolish old man.

There ain't nothin' hard
about being happy.

1296
01:25:33,440 --> 01:25:37,243
This ain't never been our home.

1297
01:25:37,310 --> 01:25:39,780
Never belong to us, no way!

1298
01:25:41,515 --> 01:25:45,354
This here is Massa Harvey's
nigger quarters.

1299
01:25:47,289 --> 01:25:50,158
When we ride out of here

I ain't never gonna
think of it again.

the senator for these new mules.

Bud.

1326
01:28:05,417 --> 01:28:08,387
The first slave in this family

1327
01:28:08,455 --> 01:28:10,690
was my granddaddy

1328
01:28:10,757 --> 01:28:12,960
Kunta Kinte.

1329
01:28:13,027 --> 01:28:14,862
But he weren't always a slave.

1330
01:28:15,897 --> 01:28:19,201
Before he's a slave
he was free man

1331
01:28:19,268 --> 01:28:21,237
in another country.

1332
01:28:21,303 --> 01:28:24,808
A country called Africa.

1333
01:28:24,874 --> 01:28:28,378
But then the slavers,
uh, they catch him

1334
01:28:28,444 --> 01:28:31,314
when he went to find some wood

1335
01:28:31,381 --> 01:28:34,219
to make a drum

1336
01:28:34,286 --> 01:28:36,288
and they brung him to America.

1337
01:28:36,353 --> 01:28:39,691
Uh-uh, place called,
called Annapolis.

1338
01:28:40,425 --> 01:28:42,829
But Kunta Kinte..

1339
01:28:42,895 --> 01:28:45,933
...he never forget
where he come from.

1340
01:28:45,999 --> 01:28:48,669
He never forget Africa.

1341
01:28:48,735 --> 01:28:52,106
He never forget
the words he spoke as a child.

1342
01:28:53,141 --> 01:28:55,710
<i>How ko,</i> mean a fiddle

1343
01:28:55,777 --> 01:28:58,546
and <i>Kamby Bolongo</i> mean a river.

1344
01:28:58,613 --> 01:29:00,549
'And he never stop
fightin' against his chains'

1345
01:29:00,616 --> 01:29:02,585
'tryin' to be free once more.'

1346
01:29:02,651 --> 01:29:05,722
Not even after they cut off
half his foot

1347
01:29:05,789 --> 01:29:08,092
to keep him from running away.

1348

[instrumental music]

1349
01:29:11,562 --> 01:29:13,931
And before he die

1350
01:29:13,998 --> 01:29:18,003
he give that dream of freedom
to his daughter.

1351
01:29:20,206 --> 01:29:21,506
Kizzy.

1352
01:29:23,142 --> 01:29:25,312
My mama.

1353
01:29:25,378 --> 01:29:28,315
And before she die

1354
01:29:28,381 --> 01:29:30,517
she give that dream to me.

1355
01:29:31,652 --> 01:29:33,688
And I've tried
to keep that dream alive

1356
01:29:33,755 --> 01:29:35,891
in all you children..

1357
01:29:37,226 --> 01:29:39,161
...till that day come.

Hear me, old African..

...the flesh..

1360

which my Grandmother Cynthia
told me.

to know more about our family

more about its history.

finally 12 years to complete.
