and disrupt the Democratic Convention?

I'm sorry, I'm not your man,

Who told you you are not our man?

18
00:02:10,750 --> 00:02:12,458
Were you not our man

19
00:02:12,541 --> 00:02:15,208
when you took command
of the Montgomery bus boycott

20
00:02:15,291 --> 00:02:17,583
or spoke with such eloquence
the night your home was bombed?

You're conveniently forgetting
I'm now co-pastor of Ebenezer,

When C,L, first heard you speak,
he rang me and said,

"Bayard, there's magic
going on down here,"

24
00:02:26,583 --> 00:02:28,791
You know what he saw? A star,

25
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,541
And when that star starts to shine
brighter than any other,

26
00:02:32,625 --> 00:02:36,708
including the most powerful Negro leaders
that came before,

27
00:02:36,791 --> 00:02:38,583
they will do everything in their power

28
00:02:38,666 --> 00:02:41,791
to extinguish your light
and put you in your place,

29
00:02:43,791 --> 00:02:46,875
Mrs, Ella Baker,
I have received a number of calls

30
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:50,625
from prominent men within the movement
who see no wisdom in these protests,

31
00:02:50,708 --> 00:02:53,500
Men with whom I share a strong kinship,

32
00:02:53,583 --> 00:02:55,708
Not once you leave the room,

33
00:02:56,458 --> 00:03:01,041
[softly] Friend, one of my greatest joys
is watching you rise,

34
00:03:01,625 --> 00:03:04,166
We need you to lead us into Los Angeles,

35
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:08,958
where we will most vigorously let Kennedy
and the entire Democratic Party know

36
00:03:09,041 --> 00:03:11,250
that unless they show up for our people,

37
00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:14,416
take a stand against segregation,
our people will not show up for them,

-Hear! Hear!
-Yes! Yes! Yes!

will be joining us in Los Angeles,

44
00:03:31,625 --> 00:03:32,500

"How's Uncle Bayard?"

-Aw, [chuckles]

I can't wait to hear what they have to say
about us making a move on LA,

61
00:04:19,083 --> 00:04:21,291
My convention, my party,

62
00:04:21,875 --> 00:04:24,708
I've spent the past 15 years
fighting Dixiecrats in Congress,

63
00:04:24,791 --> 00:04:27,166
going after and winning
on everything from poll taxes

64
00:04:27,250 --> 00:04:29,833
to the right to piss
in the goddamn Congressional commode,

65
00:04:29,916 --> 00:04:32,583
How dare his Black ass take aim
without first coming to me?

66
00:04:32,666 --> 00:04:34,791
[man] Had King reached out,
would you have said yes?

67
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:38,208
Hell, no, That fighting son of a bitch
needs to keep down South where he belongs,

68
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
I blame Rustin,

69
00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:45,500
Ever since the Montgomery bus boycott,

70
00:04:45,583 --> 00:04:47,666
he's got King thinking
he's the second coming,

71
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:50,833
The hell with Bayard Rustin,

72
00:04:50,916 --> 00:04:53,291
His attention-grabbing antics
are the exact opposite

73

about Martin Luther King and his queen,

Congressman Powell has done so much
for Harlem,

85
00:05:28,750 --> 00:05:31,958
Almost as much as he's done for himself,

86
00:05:32,041 --> 00:05:36,625
But this is a bold-faced lie,
and he knows it,

87

[man] I have to tell Martin, I have--

88
00:05:38,625 --> 00:05:40,083
Yes, I'm well aware of the fact

89
00:05:40,166 --> 00:05:42,708
that Martin is your boss
as well as your friend,

90
00:05:42,791 --> 00:05:45,250
but at least let me speak
with Bayard first,

91
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:48,375
as this is certain
to disorder his soul most of all!

I'll write a letter
tendering my resignation,

318
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,666
But in deference
to both you and the cause,

319
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:41,416
I'll sit in the corner and smile,

320
00:19:42,125 --> 00:19:45,916
After a day spent flooding the capital
and encircling the White House

321
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,750
so that the president of the United States
cannot get in or out of his own home,

322
00:19:49,833 --> 00:19:53,458
our intrepid protesters
would retire to tents

323
00:19:53,541 --> 00:19:55,375
which now cover the National Mall,

324
00:19:55,458 --> 00:19:57,833
Chief, do you plan
on pulling this together yourself?

325
00:19:57,916 --> 00:20:01,666
We all know there's only one person
who can organize an event of this scale,

326
00:20:04,125 --> 00:20:05,125
Bayard,

327
00:20:05,666 --> 00:20:07,916
I was under the impression
you were busy serving--

328
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,500
I mean, saving white people from the bomb,

329
00:20:10,583 --> 00:20:12,291
-[scattered chuckling]
-I go where needed,

330
00:20:12,375 --> 00:20:15,208
Chief, if memory serves me,
this is your third attempt,

331
00:20:15,291 --> 00:20:17,208
-He did not say "attempt,"
-Did you say something?

332
00:20:17,291 --> 00:20:20,666
"Attempt" is hardly the word I'd use
to describe the actions of a man

333
00:20:20,750 --> 00:20:23,958
who is single-handedly responsible
for integrating both the armed forces

334
00:20:24,041 --> 00:20:25,041
and the defense industry,

335
00:20:25,708 --> 00:20:27,291
-[man] Roy,
-[Roy] Yes, Medgar,

336
00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:29,000
Most of our folks in Mississippi

337
00:20:29,083 --> 00:20:31,500
have never been
outside of their hometowns,

338
00:20:31,583 --> 00:20:34,333
so the opportunity to march
with people from all over…

339
00:20:34,416 --> 00:20:35,250
There it is,

340
00:20:35,333 --> 00:20:39,208
…will afford them the chance to discover
not only are they not alone…

341
00:20:39,291 --> 00:20:40,125
He gets it,

342
00:20:40,208 --> 00:20:43,583
…but are engaged in a struggle
far greater than they ever dreamed,

343
00:20:43,666 --> 00:20:45,750
Thank you, Brother Evers,

344
00:20:46,291 --> 00:20:48,125
Chief, what size crowd are you projecting?

345
00:20:48,208 --> 00:20:50,458
One hundred thousand people,

346
00:20:50,541 --> 00:20:51,916
-[murmuring]
-[man 2] It can't be done,

347
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,375
Mr, Wilkins, forgive me,
but that's impractical,

348
00:20:54,458 --> 00:20:57,875
Elias here's from Alabama,
field organizer,

349
00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:02,125
Perhaps you have facts
to substantiate your claims?

350
00:21:02,625 --> 00:21:04,208
Previous DC demonstrations,

351
00:21:05,208 --> 00:21:07,625
In 1913, 8,000 suffragettes,

352
00:21:07,708 --> 00:21:10,041
in '26, 25,000 Ku Klux Klan,

353
00:21:10,125 --> 00:21:15,375
and in 1932, 42,000 veterans marched
and were attacked with tear gas and tanks,

354
00:21:15,958 --> 00:21:17,500
-[Roy] Who led the attack?
-The military,

355
00:21:17,583 --> 00:21:19,375
-And the race of the veterans?
-White,

356
00:21:19,875 --> 00:21:21,666
White boys,

[murmuring]

358
00:21:24,291 --> 00:21:28,083
Young man, your facts are correct,
Your sense of history is not,

359
00:21:28,583 --> 00:21:32,708
Those 42,000 men marched on Washington, DC
because it was the Depression,

360
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:34,541
And after dutifully serving their country,

361
00:21:34,625 --> 00:21:38,041
found themselves without jobs and homes
and food to feed their family,

362
00:21:38,125 --> 00:21:40,750
And when they took to the streets
and were attacked,

363
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:42,875
the world did, in fact, bear witness,

364
00:21:42,958 --> 00:21:45,500
Gandhi brought an empire
down to its knees--

365
00:21:45,583 --> 00:21:48,500
Will someone please tell this man
that this is not India?

366
00:21:48,583 --> 00:21:51,791
For decades, the NAACP
has been legally leading the charge,

367
00:21:51,875 --> 00:21:56,208
and now you're proposing
100,000 Black folks invade Washington, DC,

368
00:21:56,291 --> 00:22:00,291
-Have you talked to Martin about this?
-I lost his number, He lost mine,

369
00:22:00,375 --> 00:22:03,000
Well, Dr, King, who hasn't lost my number,

370
00:22:03,083 --> 00:22:06,458
has come to understand
that mass lobbying is sheer madness,

371
00:22:06,541 --> 00:22:10,708
Brown v, Board is the crowning glory
of this organization,

372
00:22:10,791 --> 00:22:14,041
yet all across the South,
when Negro children sleep,

373
00:22:14,125 --> 00:22:17,583
they see "whites only" signs
instead of their dreams,

374
00:22:17,666 --> 00:22:20,833
Counting on the courts
to eradicate racial inequity,

375
00:22:20,916 --> 00:22:22,083
that's madness!

376
00:22:26,375 --> 00:22:29,583
Mr, Randolph, you are a giant amongst men,

377
00:22:30,458 --> 00:22:32,166
but when it comes to this,

378
00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:35,083
the NAACP says no,

379

Now that Roy has made his position clear,

00:22:51,625 --> 00:22:54,958
Dr, King's number,
which you have allegedly lost?

Your idea has potential,

It wasn't your place to voice support,
but it was yours to help tear it down?

Your march is possible without the NAACP,
but not without Dr, King,

And Mr, Wilkins knows it,

I was about to ask something,

you just say it,

-Doesn't everyone?
-No,

409
00:24:15,625 --> 00:24:18,833
No, most people are
modest, cautious, afraid,

So say it, whatever's on your mind

Understandably so, given the threats
being leveled at he and his family,

00:26:01,583 --> 00:26:04,541
I started talking to him

[Martin decisively] Bayard!

762
00:44:32,208 --> 00:44:33,041
Martin,

763
00:44:33,833 --> 00:44:36,875
We all heard the president
announce on national television

764
00:44:37,416 --> 00:44:39,625
that he intends
to send a bill to Congress,

765
00:44:40,166 --> 00:44:43,500
It is my personal estimation
that in order to get the bill

766
00:44:43,583 --> 00:44:47,416
past Southern segregationists
will take a president of intelligence,

767
00:44:48,125 --> 00:44:52,000
political savvy, and the passion,

768
00:44:52,083 --> 00:44:54,916
Kennedy has the first two in abundance
but not the third,

769
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,083
Not when it comes to civil rights,

770
00:44:57,166 --> 00:44:59,458
So to ensure he does not relent,

771
00:44:59,541 --> 00:45:05,541
we must not relent in our commitment
to the country and to the race,

772
00:45:05,625 --> 00:45:08,000
And that is the reason
for the timely nature

773
00:45:08,083 --> 00:45:12,083
of this most improbable
yet most essential endeavor,

You do realize what's happening
right this second?

786
00:45:46,708 --> 00:45:50,000
My guess is Roy is starting
to build his case against me,

787
00:45:50,083 --> 00:45:51,791
We must ask ourselves,

788
00:45:51,875 --> 00:45:56,041
is this the man we wish to see labeled
Mr, March-on-Washington?

789
00:45:56,125 --> 00:45:58,000
[Bayard] John Lewis
and the chief will defend me,

790
00:45:58,083 --> 00:46:00,000
[Roy] He was
in the Young Communist League,

791
00:46:00,083 --> 00:46:01,916
Which he renounced years ago,

792
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
-Imprisoned for refusing the draft,
-A moral decision, not a cowardly one,

793
00:46:06,083 --> 00:46:08,916
Even so, Roy will press on,

794
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,750
His mannerisms and reputation
make him an easy target,

795
00:46:12,833 --> 00:46:15,500
And when the white press
and the powers that be take aim,

796
00:46:15,583 --> 00:46:16,500
and they will,

797
00:46:16,583 --> 00:46:19,833
every person seated at this table

798
00:46:19,916 --> 00:46:23,166
will be in the line of fire
because of him,

799
00:46:26,041 --> 00:46:27,166

-Monday, August 26th,

Fridays complicated for Jewish friends,

-Who's with the National Park Service?
-No one,

861

If I'm not mistaken,
the mall falls under NPS jurisdiction,

862
00:49:42,750 --> 00:49:43,583
Correct,

863
00:49:45,916 --> 00:49:49,541
Chief Wells,
in little under seven weeks' time,

864
00:49:49,625 --> 00:49:51,291
a monumental, two-day event is--

865
00:49:51,375 --> 00:49:53,666
One day, It's no longer a two-day event,

866
00:49:54,833 --> 00:49:55,875
According to whom?

867
00:49:55,958 --> 00:49:59,750
Mr, Wilkins of the NAACP
also believes it should be one day,

868
00:49:59,833 --> 00:50:02,791
I'd be safe in assuming
you do not work for Mr, Wilkins,

869
00:50:02,875 --> 00:50:04,333
No, I do not,

870
00:50:04,416 --> 00:50:05,958
[chuckles] Well, neither do I,

871
00:50:06,041 --> 00:50:08,250
so I'm confused as to why
you even mentioned his name,

872
00:50:08,333 --> 00:50:09,166
Mr, Rustin--

873
00:50:09,250 --> 00:50:11,750
I am, however, very interested
in knowing who you do work for,

874
00:50:11,833 --> 00:50:13,875
Mr, Rustin,
we find what works best is for you

875
00:50:13,958 --> 00:50:15,708
to answer our questions, not the reverse,

876
00:50:15,791 --> 00:50:17,291
And I found a free-flowing exchange

877
00:50:17,375 --> 00:50:19,916
of information and ideas
works even better,

878
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,791
Well, when you put on an event
in your mall, we'll give that a go,

879
00:50:22,875 --> 00:50:25,166
but seeing as it's your gathering
in our mall--

880
00:50:25,250 --> 00:50:28,666
Your mall? Not the National Mall
or America's Front Yard--

-Since you insist on raising your voice--
-I have not raised my voice--

roadblocks instead of finding solutions--

didn't even bother to show up,

It is an act of civil disobedience,

00:54:20,833 --> 00:54:23,541
[Lewis] The president kept talking,
mostly about himself,

943
00:54:23,625 --> 00:54:26,583
How if anything goes wrong at the march,
it's gonna kill his bill,

944
00:54:26,666 --> 00:54:31,458
And why protest at the White House,
especially after his speech and his bill?

945
00:54:31,541 --> 00:54:33,208
What was Roy's response?

946
00:54:33,291 --> 00:54:34,291
He nodded mostly,

947
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,250
-Whitney and Jim?
-Watching Martin, who was listening,

948
00:54:38,333 --> 00:54:41,750
-[inhales] Then the president's brother--
-The attorney general was there?

949
00:54:41,833 --> 00:54:45,083
Kept saying we should cancel,
call the whole thing off,

950
00:54:45,708 --> 00:54:47,916
And this took place in the Oval Office?

951
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,166
Three days ago,

952
00:54:51,916 --> 00:54:55,125
Now, I received a very distressing letter
from Senator Douglas,

953
00:54:55,208 --> 00:54:57,375
I received one as well,
from Senator Humphrey,

954
00:54:57,458 --> 00:54:58,833
So did I, Senator Hart,

955
00:54:58,916 --> 00:55:00,416
-Regarding?
-Latrines,

956
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:03,375
-Isn't Park Services helping us out?
-No, they are not,

957
00:55:03,458 --> 00:55:06,375
Which is why I'm proposing the march
from a coalition with the unions,

958
00:55:06,458 --> 00:55:08,500
The AFL-CIO, the UAW--

959
00:55:08,583 --> 00:55:11,500
Both of whom are against a two-day event--

960
00:55:11,583 --> 00:55:12,833
You're on the AFL council,

961
00:55:12,916 --> 00:55:16,041
Well, I'm not sure about Meany,
but Reuther does, in fact,

962
00:55:16,125 --> 00:55:17,916
favor a one-day march
and no White House event,

963
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,500
Exactly what I said,

964
00:55:19,583 --> 00:55:22,541
We need to limit this to one day
and take the White House off the table,

965
00:55:22,625 --> 00:55:25,458
You try to get me fired,
Now you wanna see the march destroyed,

966
00:55:25,541 --> 00:55:28,208
Do you think I just woke up one day
and said to myself,

967
00:55:28,291 --> 00:55:30,250
"Let's stage the largest march ever

968
00:55:30,333 --> 00:55:33,375
and get former communist Quaker
Bayard Rustin to pull it all together?"

969
00:55:33,458 --> 00:55:34,791
No, I did not,

970
00:55:34,875 --> 00:55:38,333
But once we signed on,
we're in it no matter what,

971
00:55:39,458 --> 00:55:41,416
If you would just accept
the inevitable now,

972
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:43,541
instead of later
when economics force you to,

973
00:55:43,625 --> 00:55:46,125
it would give the appearance
of strength and unity,

974
00:55:47,500 --> 00:55:50,000
It's called being strategic,

975
00:55:52,958 --> 00:55:56,083
I know this may feel like an attenuation
of everything that we fought for--

976
00:55:56,166 --> 00:55:57,750
Because that's exactly what it is,

977
00:55:57,833 --> 00:56:01,333
A two-day event will make it clear
that we will not back down or back away,

978
00:56:01,416 --> 00:56:03,625
-If you allow Roy this one--
-Absolutely not,

979
00:56:03,708 --> 00:56:07,416
Bayard, you have Chief,
you have me, Dr, Hedgeman, and Jim,

980
00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:10,041
An uneasy alliance,
but an alliance nonetheless,

981
00:56:10,125 --> 00:56:13,375
And if I'm not asking attendees
to get arrested at the White House

982
00:56:13,458 --> 00:56:17,291
or, heaven forbid, sleep in tents,
I could get more congregations to sign on,

983
00:56:18,666 --> 00:56:21,333
-So no lobbying Congress?
-Or marching on the White House?

984
00:56:21,416 --> 00:56:24,041
-Or tents on the Mall?
-Turning into a goddamn picnic,

985
00:56:24,125 --> 00:56:26,791
That first day, sharing ideas,
writing them on the wall…

986
00:56:26,875 --> 00:56:28,791
Bayard, you have to understand
our disappointment,

987
00:56:28,875 --> 00:56:30,750
Do I want this? No,

988
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:34,500
But if we wanna make sure
100,000 people show up, we need help,

989
00:56:34,583 --> 00:56:38,500
And in order to get the unions
and their money, changes have to be made,

990
00:56:39,875 --> 00:56:42,541
If Sisters Dorie and Joyce
went out to Westchester

991
00:56:42,625 --> 00:56:43,958
or the Upper East Side,

992
00:56:44,041 --> 00:56:47,625
I know you'd come back with not only
enough money for one bus but three,

993
00:56:48,250 --> 00:56:50,500
Same with you Eleanore, Tom, Charlene,

994
00:56:51,166 --> 00:56:53,125
We are committed to the cause

995
00:56:53,208 --> 00:56:56,625
of altering the trajectory of this country
towards freedom,

996
00:56:58,250 --> 00:56:59,625
That's what's on the line,

997
00:57:02,291 --> 00:57:03,166
Nothing less,

998

[rhythmic jazz music playing]

I'd like to share what it was like
growing up in Hattiesburg,

1000
00:57:13,583 --> 00:57:15,125
As a young girl in Mississippi…

1001
00:57:15,208 --> 00:57:16,916
Regardless of how smart you were…

1002
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,291
…and never miss Sunday school,

1003
00:57:18,375 --> 00:57:20,750
…you were told that your dreams
were never gonna happen,

1004
00:57:20,833 --> 00:57:24,083
-Because of what you looked like,
-Because of the color of your skin,

are ill-housed and underpaid,

01:01:47,583 --> 01:01:49,791
Well, then I guess
we're gonna have to change the law,

1095
01:01:49,875 --> 01:01:53,166
-Thank you so very much for coming,
-[announcer] Today, from the Senate floor,

1096
01:01:53,250 --> 01:01:56,166
the following allegations were made
by Senator Strom Thurmond,

1097
01:01:57,041 --> 01:01:58,291
[Bayard] We'll be in touch,

1098
01:01:58,375 --> 01:02:02,708
[Thurmond] Mr, King's infamous alliances
with communists and agitators

1099
01:02:03,458 --> 01:02:05,208
has been a carefully guarded secret,

1100
01:02:05,291 --> 01:02:06,166
[Bayard] Eleanore!

1101
01:02:06,250 --> 01:02:08,416
-[Thurmond] Until now,
-Get Mayor Wagner on the phone,

1102
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:13,125
[Thurmond] Mr, Bayard Rustin,
not only Mr, King’s closest advisor,

1103
01:02:13,875 --> 01:02:15,291
he is also a communist,

1104
01:02:16,416 --> 01:02:19,916
This march is being built
by the Communist Party, It--

1105
01:02:20,666 --> 01:02:23,083
Tom, we're gonna need
three press releases,

1106
01:02:23,166 --> 01:02:26,208
ranging from purely pissed
to questioning the mental well-being

1107
01:02:26,291 --> 01:02:28,500
of the not-so-beloved senator
from South Carolina,

1108
01:02:29,041 --> 01:02:30,833
Eleanore, what's the name
of that woman reporter

1109
01:02:30,916 --> 01:02:31,916
from The Washington Post?

1110
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,875
-McNair?
-Susanna McBee?

1111
01:02:33,958 --> 01:02:36,541
-Bayard, Dr, King,
-Oh, thank you, I'll take it in my office,

1112
01:02:36,625 --> 01:02:38,916
I will not speak to anyone else
from the press except her,

1113
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,208
And get Mayor Wagner to call me back,

1114
01:02:42,791 --> 01:02:45,208
[Martin] Fortunately,
Roy's animus towards you

1115
01:02:45,291 --> 01:02:48,833
is eclipsed by his unadulterated hatred
for Strom Thurmond,

1116
01:02:49,625 --> 01:02:51,208
So we're safe for now, friend,

1117
01:02:51,708 --> 01:02:53,208
Thank you, friend,

1118
01:02:55,541 --> 01:02:56,625

Press release number one,

1121
01:03:11,166 --> 01:03:14,625
Years ago, when I was in Pasadena

1122
01:03:14,708 --> 01:03:17,583
doing speeches
for the Fellowship of Reconciliation…

1123
01:03:19,291 --> 01:03:20,291
[knocking on door]

1124
01:03:20,958 --> 01:03:23,875
Is this the office
of the famous Bayard Rustin? [chuckles]

1125
01:03:23,958 --> 01:03:25,000
[chuckles]

1126
01:03:29,833 --> 01:03:31,166
I'll finish the other two,

1127
01:03:34,875 --> 01:03:36,666
-I've been thinking,
-About?

1128
01:03:36,750 --> 01:03:38,208
What Ma Rustin said,

1129
01:03:39,375 --> 01:03:41,083
"Only associate with someone

1130
01:03:42,166 --> 01:03:43,541
with as much to lose,"

1131
01:03:45,583 --> 01:03:47,750
And who might that someone be?

1132
01:03:49,666 --> 01:03:50,541
Who do you think?

1133
01:03:52,708 --> 01:03:56,625
[Eleanore] She goes on to talk about
your dedication to justice and peace

1134
01:03:56,708 --> 01:03:58,208
and calls you heroic,

1135

-[all laugh]
-So, last night, thinking about the march…

1139
01:04:07,291 --> 01:04:10,291
We need to provide
toll booths with leaflets

1140
01:04:10,375 --> 01:04:13,750
so that those arriving by cars
know where to go once they're in DC,

1141
01:04:14,458 --> 01:04:16,375
It's, uh, just after one,

1142
01:04:18,041 --> 01:04:18,875

1143

-Mr, Rustin, sir,

I've been hounding the mayor
about a project,

1147
01:04:32,458 --> 01:04:36,750
Today he called me back and said yes,
So, starting next week…

move as one, work as one,

1159
01:05:38,958 --> 01:05:40,916
If we desire a society of peace,

1160
01:05:42,625 --> 01:05:46,083
then we cannot achieve
such a society through violence,

1161
01:06:02,083 --> 01:06:04,916
You will leave your weapons at home,

1162

You will wear white identifying armbands,
wear a white hat, and carry a whistle,

1163
01:06:12,750 --> 01:06:14,583
It is your responsibility

1164

to create an atmosphere of peace
for all to witness and follow,

As I was saying, this is probably--

What if, strictly hypothetical,

01:09:43,083 --> 01:09:46,416
there was someone attached
to this fine organization you've created

whose mere presence

1239
01:09:48,666 --> 01:09:51,291
was dangerous and detrimental
to the cause you love?

1240
01:09:52,375 --> 01:09:56,500
Someone whose past affiliations,
political and otherwise,

1241
01:09:57,500 --> 01:10:00,125
combined with their quiddity and flair,

1242
01:10:00,208 --> 01:10:03,500
could be used by those in power
to inflict great harm,

1243
01:10:03,583 --> 01:10:05,083
not just to the march,

1244
01:10:06,250 --> 01:10:09,500
but the acts of vengeance
from those in power

1245
01:10:09,583 --> 01:10:13,333
could very easily derail the fight
for racial justice in this country

Would you keep that person
in their position,

01:10:19,333 --> 01:10:22,708
or would your sense of duty
as a custodian of the cause

1249
01:10:22,791 --> 01:10:26,375
compel you to send him/her,
her/him on his/her way?

1250
01:10:28,750 --> 01:10:30,250
Hypothetically speaking…

1251
01:10:32,750 --> 01:10:34,375
I'd send them on their way,

1252
01:10:35,375 --> 01:10:39,750
Unless the person in question
happened to be me,

1253
01:10:40,291 --> 01:10:41,416
[scattered laughing]

1254
01:10:41,500 --> 01:10:44,625
Julia and Janifer Rustin
raised me to be humble and never brag,

1255
01:10:44,708 --> 01:10:48,041
but seeing as no one else on the team
was raised-- Blyden, are you a Quaker?

1256
01:10:48,125 --> 01:10:49,708
-Hell, no,
-They'll speak instead,

1257
01:10:49,791 --> 01:10:52,583
Norm, how many first aid stations
have been secured?

1258
01:10:52,666 --> 01:10:55,875
Twenty-two, run by teams
of mostly Negro medical practitioners,

1259
01:10:55,958 --> 01:10:57,125
Water?

1260
01:10:57,208 --> 01:10:59,000
There'll be six water tanks,
1,500 gallons each,

1261
01:10:59,083 --> 01:11:02,500
ensuring that the 27 portable fountains
are operational all day long,

1262
01:11:02,583 --> 01:11:03,583
Transportation?

1263
01:11:03,666 --> 01:11:07,125
All in all, we have 2,220 chartered buses,

1264
01:11:07,208 --> 01:11:10,083
CORE North Carolina, 11 buses,
SNCC Mississippi, seven,

1265
01:11:10,166 --> 01:11:11,833
[Bayard] And Reverend Powell's church?

1266
01:11:11,916 --> 01:11:15,458
They've chartered five, I could continue
state by state, but, Joyce?

1267
01:11:15,541 --> 01:11:16,791
Forty Freedom trains,

1268
01:11:16,875 --> 01:11:19,375
And thanks to the UAW,
six chartered flights,

1269
01:11:19,458 --> 01:11:23,666
bringing in workers from Chicago,
Grand Rapids, Flint, Detroit,

1270
01:11:23,750 --> 01:11:25,958
Syracuse, Rochester, and New York,

1271
01:11:26,041 --> 01:11:27,875
Also, per Mr, Rustin's request,

1272
01:11:27,958 --> 01:11:32,541
the mayor has approved the implementation
of the subway rush hour schedule at 5 a,m,

1273
01:11:32,625 --> 01:11:35,458
so that passengers can make
their 6 a,m, bus departures the day of,

1274
01:11:35,541 --> 01:11:37,041
Blyden, who are the Guardians?

1275
01:11:37,125 --> 01:11:39,166
A fraternal order
of New York City's Black police,

1276
01:11:39,250 --> 01:11:43,166
And how many will be in Washington, DC
to ensure a safe and peaceful march?

1277
01:11:43,250 --> 01:11:44,291
Over 1,000,

1278
01:11:44,375 --> 01:11:46,750
-Latrines?
-Two hundred and ninety-two,

1279
01:11:46,833 --> 01:11:51,833
And a chartered plane of celebrities,
including Harry Belafonte, Marlon Brando,

1280
01:11:51,916 --> 01:11:54,250
James Baldwin, Charlton Heston--

1281
01:11:54,333 --> 01:11:55,541
Moses,

1282
01:11:55,625 --> 01:11:59,083
Diahann Carroll, Sammy Davis Jr,,
Lena Horne, and Burt Lancaster

1283
01:11:59,166 --> 01:12:00,916
will also be in attendance,

1284
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,500
All of which has been achieved
in seven weeks,

1285
01:12:03,583 --> 01:12:07,750
And that is why
I would never send me on my way,

1286
01:12:08,333 --> 01:12:10,291
-[cheering, laughing]
-[man] Yeah!

1287
01:12:15,708 --> 01:12:16,916
Yes, yes, yes,

1288
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,375
How does so much get accomplished
in such a short amount of time?

1289
01:12:20,458 --> 01:12:25,166
By working 12 to 15 hours a day every day
and because of Bayard,

1290
01:12:25,250 --> 01:12:28,916
Chief, Dr, Hedgeman,
you ever get a word stuck in your head

1291
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,625
that you just can't shake?

1292
01:12:31,250 --> 01:12:32,083
Now what?

1293
01:12:32,166 --> 01:12:35,000
While Bayard and the Rustinettes
were putting on their little revue,

1294
01:12:35,083 --> 01:12:38,125
the word I couldn't shake, Pasadena,

1295
01:12:39,291 --> 01:12:42,500
-[tense music playing]
-[Powell] Martin, you ever been?

1296
01:12:42,583 --> 01:12:43,958
[Martin] What's that got to do
with anything?

1297
01:12:44,041 --> 01:12:47,583
[Powell] How about you, deputy director?
Ever spent time in Pasadena?

1298
01:12:49,666 --> 01:12:51,000
-Hm?
-[chuckles]

1299
01:12:51,083 --> 01:12:54,208
[Powell] Can't recall?
Well, I just happened to have…

1300
01:12:54,291 --> 01:12:56,375
[music continues]

1301
01:12:56,458 --> 01:12:58,458
The hell did the GD thing go? I had it,

1302
01:12:58,541 --> 01:13:00,041
No, I'm done, Done,

1303
01:13:00,583 --> 01:13:03,125
-[papers rustling]
-I look at this program,

1304
01:13:03,666 --> 01:13:05,666
I do not see one woman's name,

1305
01:13:05,750 --> 01:13:08,875
Not Ella Baker or Diane Nash,

1306
01:13:08,958 --> 01:13:11,875
not Dorothy Height or Gloria Richardson,

1307
01:13:11,958 --> 01:13:14,416
Myrlie Evers, Rosa Parks,

1308
01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:16,958
Not, not, not, not, not,

1309
01:13:17,041 --> 01:13:18,625
Uh, correct me if I'm wrong,

1310
01:13:18,708 --> 01:13:21,416
but a decision was made early on
that only leaders

1311
01:13:21,500 --> 01:13:23,916
of participating organizations
would be allowed to speak,

1312
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,875
-[Powell] Hold up, where's my name?
-[Martin] That includes no politicians,

1313
01:13:26,958 --> 01:13:29,708
[Powell] Look, I am more
than just a politician,

1314
01:13:30,208 --> 01:13:32,458
You hotfoot down
to 7th Avenue and 125th Street

1315
01:13:32,541 --> 01:13:35,041
and stop anyone,
say the name Adam Clayton Powell--

1316
01:13:35,125 --> 01:13:37,416
Dr, Hedgeman, might I suggest

1317
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:40,375
we reconvene
once a solution has been found?

1318
01:13:40,458 --> 01:13:42,916
Good, Now back to the point
I was about to make--

1319
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,083
Adam, you are a guest here,
You cannot continually--

1320
01:13:46,166 --> 01:13:48,583
Would one of you mind
checking the glove compartment--

1321
01:13:48,666 --> 01:13:52,250
-Adam!
-You might be head nigga down South--

1322
01:13:52,333 --> 01:13:53,958
Congressman Powell!

1323
01:13:55,916 --> 01:13:59,000
We have moved on!

1324
01:14:05,625 --> 01:14:07,875
This meeting is adjourned,

1325
01:14:18,833 --> 01:14:20,083
Keep the faith, baby,

1326
01:14:25,833 --> 01:14:27,541
[footsteps going downstairs]

1327
01:14:32,125 --> 01:14:34,125
[phone ringing]

1328
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:35,833
[sighs]

1329
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,166
Evening, G-man,

1330
01:14:42,791 --> 01:14:43,750
Please tell Mr, Hoover to--

1331
01:14:43,833 --> 01:14:44,833
[woman] Mr, Rustin,

1332
01:14:47,583 --> 01:14:48,416
Who is this?

1333
01:14:49,166 --> 01:14:50,000
[woman] Claudia,

1334
01:14:51,625 --> 01:14:52,791
Elias' wife,

1335
01:14:53,375 --> 01:14:55,250
Oh, uh, yes,

1336
01:14:55,750 --> 01:14:57,416
[groans, clears throat]

1337
01:14:58,125 --> 01:14:59,000
[inhales sharply]

1338
01:15:00,125 --> 01:15:01,458
[exhales] How are you?

1339
01:15:02,833 --> 01:15:04,333
[Claudia] Thank you for asking,

1340
01:15:04,958 --> 01:15:06,458
I have good news,

1341
01:15:07,083 --> 01:15:08,333
My father has decided

1342
01:15:08,416 --> 01:15:11,708
to officially hand over
his congregation to my husband,

1343
01:15:12,833 --> 01:15:13,833
Oh, that is…

1344
01:15:15,250 --> 01:15:16,416
wonderful indeed,

1345
01:15:17,208 --> 01:15:19,333
[Claudia] I'm glad to hear
you feel that way,

1346
01:15:20,708 --> 01:15:23,791
So if you wouldn't mind telling my husband

1347
01:15:25,333 --> 01:15:27,875
it is time for him to return home

1348
01:15:28,916 --> 01:15:31,458
to the path our Lord ordains,

1349
01:15:33,291 --> 01:15:34,208
Mrs, Taylor--

1350
01:15:34,291 --> 01:15:36,541
I wanna thank you for the time,

1351
01:15:38,541 --> 01:15:41,625
the inordinate amount of time
that you've taken with Elias,

1352
01:15:41,708 --> 01:15:43,750
but that is over,

1353
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:46,416
Claudia--

1354
01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:48,541
[Claudia] You believe
in Elias' possibilities,

1355
01:15:50,208 --> 01:15:52,958
I know his limitations,

1356
01:15:56,791 --> 01:15:58,291
-[phone clunks]
-[hang up tone]

1357
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:02,833
[solemn music playing]

1358
01:16:13,166 --> 01:16:14,791
-Chief Wells,
-Mr, Rustin,

1359
01:16:15,291 --> 01:16:17,125
My associate is handing out a map,

1360
01:16:17,208 --> 01:16:19,625
which details the location
of key support systems,

1361
01:16:19,708 --> 01:16:21,750
water fountains, lost and found,

1362
01:16:21,833 --> 01:16:23,291
I'm also pleased to inform you

1363
01:16:23,375 --> 01:16:26,333
that over 1,000 New York City Marshals
will be present,

1364
01:16:26,416 --> 01:16:28,166
The Guardians have been schooled

1365
01:16:28,250 --> 01:16:30,708
in the tenets and practices
of passive resistance

1366
01:16:30,791 --> 01:16:32,875
and, therefore, will not be armed,

1367
01:16:32,958 --> 01:16:36,166
For the first time since Prohibition,
every liquor store in the area

1368
01:16:36,250 --> 01:16:37,500
will be closed for the day,

1369
01:16:37,583 --> 01:16:40,291
All elective surgeries have been canceled,

1370
01:16:40,375 --> 01:16:43,416
and congressmen are telling
their female staff to stay home,

1371
01:16:44,083 --> 01:16:45,250
And why is that?

1372
01:16:46,375 --> 01:16:49,166
Is it because a number of people,
specifically a number of men

1373
01:16:49,250 --> 01:16:51,083
with skin my color, will be in town?

1374
01:16:51,875 --> 01:16:53,583
The last time I turned on the television,

1375
01:16:53,666 --> 01:16:57,333
I saw a pack of white hooligans
attacking Negroes at a lunch counter

1376
01:16:57,416 --> 01:17:00,750
and a white police officer
ordering children to be hosed,

1377
01:17:01,500 --> 01:17:05,458
But to blame all for the actions of a few
would be unfair,

1378
01:17:06,375 --> 01:17:10,416
As a matter of fact,
that's what's called being racist,

1379
01:17:12,458 --> 01:17:15,708
You two, you look like
you might be the engineers I requested,

1380
01:17:15,791 --> 01:17:16,666
That we are,

1381
01:17:17,416 --> 01:17:19,833
On the day of your march,
the entire DC police force

1382
01:17:19,916 --> 01:17:21,125
has been mobilized,

1383
01:17:22,500 --> 01:17:25,416
along with 500 reserves,
2,500 National Guard,

1384
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:27,625
4,000 Army soldiers,

1385
01:17:27,708 --> 01:17:30,333
and, per orders of the Pentagon,
19,000 troops,

1386
01:17:30,416 --> 01:17:32,375
Well, I hope you'll have something
for them to do,

1387
01:17:32,458 --> 01:17:34,708
because they will not be needed here,

1388
01:17:34,791 --> 01:17:37,458
And whoever has direct dealings
with Mr, Hoover,

1389
01:17:37,541 --> 01:17:40,833
let him know that on August 28th,

1390
01:17:40,916 --> 01:17:45,166
Black, white, young, old,
rich, working-class, poor

1391
01:17:45,250 --> 01:17:47,583
will descend on Washington, DC,

1392
01:17:47,666 --> 01:17:50,041
and there's nothing he can do to stop it,

1393
01:17:51,375 --> 01:17:54,541
I need a sound system which will allow
someone speaking here

1394
01:17:54,625 --> 01:17:57,208
to be heard all the way back there

1395
01:17:57,291 --> 01:18:00,583
because sound is how you turn
a crowd into an audience,

1396
01:18:01,708 --> 01:18:04,333
And as each of our heroines rises,

1397
01:18:04,416 --> 01:18:07,458
Chief would proclaim
their remarkable deeds to the world,

1398
01:18:07,958 --> 01:18:11,416
-So seen but not heard,
-They could write their own introductions,

1399
01:18:11,500 --> 01:18:15,333
With all due respect, Mr, Randolph,
a woman should introduce them,

1400
01:18:15,416 --> 01:18:19,125
And don't ask me for recommendations,
because a number of women have informed me

1401
01:18:19,208 --> 01:18:22,083
that they will not be participating
in the march,

1402
01:18:22,166 --> 01:18:23,583
That's unfortunate to hear,

1403
01:18:24,250 --> 01:18:26,208
[sighs] What is unfortunate, sir,

1404
01:18:26,875 --> 01:18:29,916
are the circumstances
that led them to the decision,

1405
01:18:30,708 --> 01:18:33,291
[Randolph] Bayard,
what's the word in Washington?

1406
01:18:34,166 --> 01:18:37,125
Uh, well, we need $16,000 to $20,000
for a sound system,

1407
01:18:37,208 --> 01:18:38,958
How are the numbers?

1408
01:18:39,041 --> 01:18:41,458
-[Bayard] Rachelle?
-Our latest estimate is 88,000,

1409
01:18:41,541 --> 01:18:44,875
If we have one person less than 100,000--

1410
01:18:44,958 --> 01:18:48,625
Interesting enough, last couple of days,
Congressman Powell has been hounding me

1411
01:18:48,708 --> 01:18:50,041
about speaking at the march,

1412
01:18:50,125 --> 01:18:51,291
You wanna know why?

1413
01:18:52,416 --> 01:18:54,708
Aunt Bess is throwing a cookout,

1414
01:18:54,791 --> 01:18:56,041
-[all laugh]
-Aunt Bess?

1415
01:18:56,125 --> 01:18:57,958
Nobody has an Auntie Bess,

1416
01:18:58,041 --> 01:19:01,125
Aunt Wilhelmina, Aunt Clarissa, Aunt--

1417
01:19:01,208 --> 01:19:03,500
I have an Aunt Bess!

1418
01:19:03,583 --> 01:19:05,125
And 20 guests have confirmed,

1419
01:19:05,708 --> 01:19:08,916
By the time cousins call cousins,
neighbors invite neighbors,

1420
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,000
Aunt Bess best be cooking for at least 50,

1421
01:19:13,041 --> 01:19:17,208
Mr, Deputy Director,
you best be cooking for 200,000,

1422
01:19:17,291 --> 01:19:18,875
-You heard it here first,
-Ooh,

1423

Pledge cards,

1424
01:19:25,375 --> 01:19:28,416
It feels a bit off-putting
to be begging the day of,

1425
01:19:30,291 --> 01:19:34,291
"I do solemnly swear to commit myself
to the civil rights struggle,"

1426
01:19:35,708 --> 01:19:38,875
"And do pledge my heart, mind, and body,

1427
01:19:39,416 --> 01:19:42,875
unequivocally and without regard
to personal sacrifice,

1428
01:19:43,833 --> 01:19:48,250
to the achievement of social peace
through social justice,"

1429
01:19:48,958 --> 01:19:50,875
"I pledge to carry
the message of the march

1430
01:19:50,958 --> 01:19:55,500
to my friends and neighbors back home
and to arouse them to an equal commitment

1431
01:19:55,583 --> 01:19:56,875
and an equal effort,"

1432
01:19:58,416 --> 01:20:00,166
"I will march, and I will write letters,"

1433
01:20:00,666 --> 01:20:02,583
"I will demonstrate, and I will vote,"

1434
01:20:02,666 --> 01:20:05,916
"I will work to make sure that my voice
and those of my brothers

ring clear and determined
from every corner of this land,"

1436
01:20:21,875 --> 01:20:22,750
My wife…

1437
01:20:27,666 --> 01:20:30,875
Her father is retiring
and leaving his church on to me,

1438
01:20:32,833 --> 01:20:34,166
She called to tell me,

1439
01:20:38,750 --> 01:20:40,625
Did she also tell you she's pregnant?

1440
01:20:46,625 --> 01:20:47,458
[softly] Elias…

1441
01:20:49,416 --> 01:20:52,166
you may think you're killing off
one aspect of yourself,

1442
01:20:52,666 --> 01:20:53,708
but you're not,

1443
01:20:54,500 --> 01:20:56,333
You're killing all of yourself,

1444
01:20:58,625 --> 01:21:00,166
I am a married man,

1445
01:21:01,750 --> 01:21:03,916
about to be a father, and you, sir,

1446
01:21:05,250 --> 01:21:08,500
are a sick man,
and you need to stop following me,

1447
01:21:11,375 --> 01:21:13,500
She also implied
she hadn't heard from you,

1448
01:21:14,375 --> 01:21:17,333
Have you visited this park at night?
Mt, Morris Baths?

1449
01:21:17,958 --> 01:21:18,916
Who got to you?

1450
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,916
The vice squad? The FBI?

1451
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,125
Do they have pictures?

1452
01:21:22,916 --> 01:21:26,250
For the desires of the flesh
are against the spirit,

For the desires of the flesh

of this catastrophe-in-wait,

the so-called "man," Bayard Rustin,

1459
01:22:16,791 --> 01:22:18,541
is not only a communist,

1460
01:22:19,125 --> 01:22:20,583
he is also a pervert,

The Council of Churches has committed

01:22:42,625 --> 01:22:45,000
to build 80,000 box lunches
the evening before, correct?

Uh, and decided that cheese sandwiches
would be so much better,

[Martin] Bayard--

1489
01:23:57,250 --> 01:23:59,333
You are one of the smartest men I know,

1490
01:24:00,375 --> 01:24:01,625
so explain to me why,

1491
01:24:02,583 --> 01:24:04,333
after all that's left undone,

1492
01:24:05,041 --> 01:24:09,125
am I yet again forced
to justify my existence,

1493
01:24:11,625 --> 01:24:14,625
Each of us are taught in ways
both cunning and cruel

1494
01:24:14,708 --> 01:24:16,791
that we are inadequate, incomplete,

1495
01:24:17,291 --> 01:24:20,083
And the easiest way to combat
that feeling of not being enough

1496
01:24:20,166 --> 01:24:22,333
is to find someone we consider less than,

1497
01:24:22,416 --> 01:24:25,625
Less than because they are poorer than us
or because they are darker than us

1498
01:24:25,708 --> 01:24:27,250
or because they desire someone

1499
01:24:27,333 --> 01:24:30,125
our churches and our laws say
they should not desire,

1500
01:24:30,833 --> 01:24:32,958
When we tell ourselves such lies,

1501
01:24:33,041 --> 01:24:35,750
start to live and believe such lies,

1502
01:24:35,833 --> 01:24:39,791
we do the work of our oppressors
by oppressing ourselves,

Strom Thurmond and Hoover
don't give a shit about me,

1504
01:24:47,666 --> 01:24:52,875
What they really want to destroy
is all of us coming together

1505
01:24:52,958 --> 01:24:55,166
and demanding this country change,

1506
01:24:59,916 --> 01:25:01,750
Are they expecting my resignation?

1507
01:25:04,416 --> 01:25:05,250
Some are, yes,

1508
01:25:05,875 --> 01:25:07,791
Then they're going to have to fire me

1509
01:25:08,625 --> 01:25:10,166
because I will not resign,

1510

On the day that I was born Black,

I was also born a homosexual,

to offer you something
I'm not ready to give,

Maybe when I'm older

I'll…

who, wrapping themselves
