00:01:07,317 --> 00:01:09,652
We begin tonight with a man    
    who's been called everything

6
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,196
from a troublemaker        
            and charlatan

7
00:01:11,279 --> 00:01:13,323
to a one-person          
       civil rights movement.

8
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:14,866
Media manipulator,         
          a rabble-rouser,

9
00:01:14,949 --> 00:01:16,618
a tireless harbinger        
         of racial discord.

10
00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:20,580
A blabbermouth, a loudmouth,    
   too flamboyant, or an agitator,

11
00:01:20,663 --> 00:01:21,956
a racist, a race-baiter.

12
00:01:22,039 --> 00:01:23,166
-Yeah.               
       -[Interviewer]: Right?

13
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:24,334
-Oh yeah.             
        -All of those things?

14
00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:25,293
Right.

15
00:01:25,376 --> 00:01:28,129
The question that I always     
          hear from whites,

16
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:31,049
"Reverend Al, why do you      
    make everything about race?"

17
00:01:31,132 --> 00:01:34,176
The white media has painted    
        Reverend Al Sharpton

18
00:01:34,259 --> 00:01:35,929
with a broad stroke.

19
00:01:36,012 --> 00:01:40,015
The Black media rejects      
        this negative image.

20
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:44,479
And the Black question       
    that's just as troubling is,

21
00:01:44,562 --> 00:01:46,773
"Why are you doin' that?      
    Ain't nothin' gonna change."

22
00:01:46,856 --> 00:01:47,982
And that's the price you pay

23
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:49,734
or that's the price        
          you want to pay?

24
00:01:49,818 --> 00:01:51,777
That's the price you pay      
          for being someone

25
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:54,697
that gets involved in       
        a high-profile fight

26

all for things           
           you believe in.

27
00:01:56,157 --> 00:02:00,245
It's somewhere between       
         these two questions

28
00:02:00,328 --> 00:02:05,458
that I've had to do        
    a lot of my work in activism.

29
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:07,335
Many people in the         
       Black community see him

30
00:02:07,418 --> 00:02:13,299
as reflecting the spirit of such 
 men as Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey,

31
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:16,261
Dr. King, and his mentor,     
        Adam Clayton Powell.

00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:18,221
[Female interviewer]:       
    You're a civil rights leader.

33
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:21,141
And then there's this other    
       side of you, you know?

34
00:02:21,224 --> 00:02:22,976
You live in a fancy place--

35
00:02:23,059 --> 00:02:25,687
First of all, I don't see     
      that as a contradiction.

36
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:27,021
We fought for access.

37
00:02:27,105 --> 00:02:29,816
I think he's in the        
       civil rights business.

38
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:32,026
I don't think he's a        
        civil rights leader.

     every Black born in America

[string music]

42
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:08,438
The story of the lion and the   
   hunter would be a lot different

43
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:12,400
if the lion could         
           read and write.

        My fellow Americans,

I am about to sign into law    
    the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

46
00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:23,286
The reason the hunter       
      always comes off glorious

47
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,163
is he's the one that        
          writes the story.

48
00:03:25,246 --> 00:03:28,291
Let us close the springs      
          of racial poison.

49
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:31,502
[Sharpton]: The lion is      
    always depicted as less than

50
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:32,337
what he is.

51
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:36,841

53
00:03:38,343 --> 00:03:42,430
And that has been the       
       problem with many of us

54

Looting, murder, and arson have 
 nothing to do with civil rights.

We've legitimatized

      young mens' civil rights.

Every time we come into a case,

the first thing we have to do

Nobody proved they were      
            subway punks.

98
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:38,129
They would try to criminalize   
      and demonize the victim.

99
00:05:38,212 --> 00:05:41,466
The issue here is there was    
      an illusion in his mind,

100
00:05:41,549 --> 00:05:43,634
that he has a right to shoot    
     people with that illusion.

       say "nigger," the word?

104
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:49,474
Maybe the word           
         "nigger" was said.

105
00:05:49,557 --> 00:05:51,183
If they behaved themsleves     
        in this neighborhood,

00:05:51,267 --> 00:05:53,478
maybe they could walk       
      the streets and be free.

109
00:05:58,274 --> 00:06:01,527

   'cause people don't understand

that it's not just the case.

You are, though,          
           a media animal.

If you're an activist,       
         the media is a tool

117
00:06:15,124 --> 00:06:16,417
to get your message across.

We've got to turn these      
        stations upside down!

They like to fight,        
           so let's fight!

00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:26,052
We demand a special prosecutor.

Special prosecutor.

122
00:06:27,303 --> 00:06:29,347
We need a permanent        
         special prosecutor

123
00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:31,724
to investigate racial crime.

124
00:06:31,808 --> 00:06:38,398
Sometimes you have to be      
       loud to let people know

125
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:39,982
that is not the real story.

126
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:42,193
You people are           
          making it racist.

127
00:06:42,276 --> 00:06:43,569
No one looked at it that way

128
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:45,655
until you people started      
        to brainwash people.

129
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:47,281
[Sharpton]: We must        
         deal with reality.

130
00:06:47,365 --> 00:06:49,826
Either we have a racial problem

131
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:54,122
or Black people have a       
      mass hallucination going.

132
00:06:54,205 --> 00:06:56,624
All of our lives          
          you had to fight

133
00:06:56,707 --> 00:06:59,419
to make sure that you       
        controlled the story.

134
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:02,130
And I want the folks        
           at CBS to know,

135
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:04,340
if you can't tell         
          the story right,

136
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,217
don't tell it at all!

137
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:08,678
One of these days I'm       
         going in the door,

138
00:07:08,761 --> 00:07:10,721
and I'm gonna give 'em       
              the news.

139
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:12,557
Al Sharpton has          
         some photographers

140
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,852
who are videotaping us as we are 
      being videotaped for you.

141
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,396
We don't know exactly what

00:14:01,131 --> 00:14:03,467
and whoop-de-doo, we must     
        say we're gonna be at

287
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:04,844
Santucci's door Monday.

288
00:14:04,927 --> 00:14:07,304
We're going to monitor       
      the lawyers of the family

289
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:10,808
and Santucci, and make       
     sure that justice is done.

290
00:14:10,891 --> 00:14:11,892
This is serious.

291
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:13,853
Racism is alive and        
          well in New York.

292
00:14:13,936 --> 00:14:16,230
We just buried a boy.       
   And the only thing he did wrong

293
00:14:16,313 --> 00:14:19,316
was he was born on the       
      wrong side of the tracks.

294
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,110
How do you feel about       
    the press conference earlier,

295
00:14:21,193 --> 00:14:24,572
Attorney Maddox to make      
    comments on the allegations?

296
00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:25,739
[Sharpton]: I heard...

297
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:29,577
There was always          
       these racial incidents

298
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,829
and racial boundaries.

299
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,248
We knew not to go in        
       certain neighborhoods.

300
00:14:34,331 --> 00:14:39,753
Fights between various segments 
       of the city and Blacks.

301
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:41,881
[police radio chatter]

302
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:46,135
When I graduated          
     junior high school in '68,

303
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:48,053
I couldn't go to school      
        the first two months

304
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:51,640
because there had         
       been a teacher strike.

305
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:53,100
The Black Community        
            School Board

306
00:14:53,183 --> 00:14:56,687
wanted to fire some white     
      teachers in Brownsville.

307
00:14:56,770 --> 00:15:00,482
And the teachers had a strike,   
      closed the schools down.

308
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:01,942
[Reporter]:            
         What kind of scars

309
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:03,569
do you think            
        this is gonna leave?

310
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:05,404
Yes, there will be scars.

311
00:15:05,487 --> 00:15:07,364
The teachers must         
            realize that

312
00:15:07,448 --> 00:15:09,700
the communities must be heard.

313
00:15:09,783 --> 00:15:14,371
This kind of trauma        
         and back-and-forth

314
00:15:14,455 --> 00:15:16,707
was the climate in New York.

315
00:15:16,874 --> 00:15:17,833
[Ed Koch]: Good morning!

316
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:20,419
I'm Ed Koch running for mayor.

317
00:15:20,502 --> 00:15:21,545
I need your help.

318
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:22,963
Nice to say hello.         
           How am I doing?

319
00:15:23,047 --> 00:15:25,215
[Sharpton]: In the '80s,      
               Ed Koch

320
00:15:25,299 --> 00:15:29,094
immediately cut a lot of      
            the programs

321
00:15:29,178 --> 00:15:30,930
that serviced our community.

322
00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:32,514
We had               
      Neighborhood Youth Corps.

323
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:34,808
We had Manpower Training      
          and Development.

324
00:15:34,892 --> 00:15:36,143
We had Model Cities.

325
00:15:36,226 --> 00:15:38,228
Many of these things        
       Adam Clayton Powell had

326
00:15:38,312 --> 00:15:41,899
put through Congress called    
     the Anti-Poverty Programs.

327
00:15:42,066 --> 00:15:45,945
Koch would run around, talking   
   about, "They're poverty pimps.

328
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:48,072
"They're misusing         
           public funds."

329
00:15:48,155 --> 00:15:50,783
If we had given          
         to the poor people

330
00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:53,369
all the money that         
         we had appropriated

331
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:56,705
for the poor people,        
       the poor would be rich!

332
00:15:56,789 --> 00:16:00,417
Instead, we allowed        
    poverty pimps to skim it off.

333
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:05,631
And he was a Democrat,       
   but he could play to that side.

334
00:16:05,714 --> 00:16:07,424
And that created tension.

335
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:09,510
[chanting]

336
00:16:09,593 --> 00:16:14,473
[Sharpton]: That led all the    
   way up to Bernhard Goetz, '84.

337
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:17,267
'85 was the mayor's race.

338
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:19,144
And '86 was Howard Beach.

339
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:23,857
And I barely went home       
    to change clothes since then.

340
00:16:23,941 --> 00:16:26,235
[chuckles]

341
00:16:28,112 --> 00:16:30,030
[Man]: We know how         
          Howard Beach are.

342
00:16:30,114 --> 00:16:31,281
Howard Beach is no joke!

343
00:16:31,365 --> 00:16:33,117
They never welcomed Black     
    people in this neighborhood.

344
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,327
See a Black person,        
          a colored person,

345
00:16:35,411 --> 00:16:37,997
first thing is you         
       yell at them, you know?

346
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,957
This is the way it is       
        in this neighborhood.

347
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,709
We had great leaders        
            in New York--

348
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:43,877
Adam Powell, Malcolm X,      
              and all.

349
00:16:43,961 --> 00:16:47,965
But I wanted to expose       
       what they spoke about.

350
00:16:48,048 --> 00:16:51,051
Black is beautiful.        
         Black is beautiful.

351
00:16:51,135 --> 00:16:56,682
We're gonna walk side by      
    side with you or through you.

352
00:16:56,765 --> 00:17:00,144
It's gotta be with dignity     
           and integrity!

353
00:17:00,227 --> 00:17:02,312
We don't want any         
         more than you have,

354
00:17:02,396 --> 00:17:05,107
and we're not gonna accept     
       any less than you have.

355
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:07,401
It's one thing to         
         have a great orator

356
00:17:07,483 --> 00:17:11,320
that talks about the wickedness, 
        the hatred of people.

357
00:17:11,405 --> 00:17:15,034
It's another thing for you     
     to make them put them lens

358
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:18,787
and show these guys        
        calling you a nigger

359
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:20,789
in New York City, in the '80s.

360
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:24,626
[shouts of "Nigger!"]

361
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:25,461
Racism, huh?

362
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:26,670
Tell the fucker go home.

363
00:17:26,753 --> 00:17:28,881
-Go home, niggers!         
         -No media, go home!

364
00:17:28,964 --> 00:17:30,299
This is who they are.

365
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:33,635
This is who keeps us from     
       going to good schools.

366
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:35,429
This is who makes us have

367
00:17:35,512 --> 00:17:38,724
certain levels of         
     employment we couldn't get.

368
00:17:38,807 --> 00:17:40,476
This is who they really are.

369
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,812
This is your street? Fuck you!   
     White street! White street!    
            White street!

370
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:45,230
[Jesse Jackson]: Given       
     the racism in the country,

371
00:17:45,314 --> 00:17:47,608
we are the last hired       
        and the first fired.

372
00:17:47,691 --> 00:17:49,568
In times of war,          
          the first drafted

373
00:17:49,651 --> 00:17:51,153
and the first to die.

374
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:53,405
When the nation proper       
          is underemployed,

375
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:57,618
we're unemployed, and then     
   stigmatized for being that way.

376
00:17:57,701 --> 00:17:59,953
[Sharpton]: All          
          of the activists,

377
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:03,123
the ones that I've         
        studied and emulated,

378
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:07,586
came at a time when        
       what we wanted to say,

379
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:10,172
people did not want to hear.

380
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:12,466
So you had to be loud

381
00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:17,054
because you were not invited    
       to address the public.

382
00:18:17,137 --> 00:18:18,430
Reverend Sharpton has organized

383
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:21,058
a youth rally for tomorrow     
     afternoon in Howard Beach.

384
00:18:21,141 --> 00:18:23,769
He says it's to show the      
     public that young Black men

385
00:18:23,852 --> 00:18:25,896
have the right to         
       peacefully demonstrate

386
00:18:25,979 --> 00:18:29,733
in the predominantly        
   white section of Howard Beach.

387
00:18:29,817 --> 00:18:31,318
[Man]: I want you         
         to start assembling

388
00:18:31,401 --> 00:18:34,363
so we can start distributing    
    the armbands to the marchers.

389
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:36,698
[Sharpton]:            
      I could've made a speech,

390
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:38,742
but I decided we'd go out there

391
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:41,703
and let them make         
         the speech for me.

392
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:43,622
[indistinct chatter]

393
00:18:51,338 --> 00:18:53,715
No, no.              
    Don't put words in my mouth.

394
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,384
I'm not saying that.

395
00:18:56,385 --> 00:18:58,762
I'm just saying they had      
      no business at that time,

396
00:18:58,846 --> 00:19:01,223
four hours after          
       their car breaks down,

397
00:19:01,306 --> 00:19:02,975
to be eating pizza over there.

398
00:19:03,058 --> 00:19:06,103
Just because this is Howard    
   Beach, an all-white community,

399
00:19:06,186 --> 00:19:09,565
the media is what         
         caused all of this!

400
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:15,445
[crowd shouts           
     "Equal rights for whites!"]

 heard, this is not Johannesburg]

403
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:32,212
Peace? You want a piece of us?

You motherfuckers!

405
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:40,846
These are people who are saying 
 that they are opposed to someone

406
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:42,514
being killed by a mob,

407
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:45,392
and there's actually community   
    residents who would come out

408
00:19:45,475 --> 00:19:48,020
to support somebody        
       being killed by a mob.

409
00:19:48,103 --> 00:19:51,523
I mean, that's a kind       
       of collective insanity.

410
00:19:51,607 --> 00:19:55,152
That's a whole           
       community that's nuts.

411
00:19:55,235 --> 00:19:56,820
Which is what racism does.

412
00:19:56,904 --> 00:19:59,740
It drives the racists crazy.

413
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,618
All right?

414
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:07,414
We're gonna ask all the people   
      to be in the green area.

415
00:20:07,497 --> 00:20:09,750
Please cooperate with security.

Amen, amen, amen

00:20:17,132 --> 00:20:20,260
Remember Michael Griffith

419
00:20:21,011 --> 00:20:23,513
[Sharpton]: I was baptized     
        by Bishop Washington

420
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:24,848
when I was three.

421
00:20:25,265 --> 00:20:28,143
The next year is when       
        I started preaching.

422
00:20:28,435 --> 00:20:30,854
And I've been           
        preaching ever since.

423
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:33,440
A little bit louder

424
00:20:33,523 --> 00:20:36,985
All a preacher does is       
        take biblical stories

425
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:41,406
and use the story to therefore   
      get to the moral message

426
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:44,034
or ethical message         
         they're projecting.

427
00:20:44,117 --> 00:20:46,245
I transfer that          
        into social justice,

428
00:20:46,328 --> 00:20:49,915
whether it is Michael Griffith   
    being killed in Howard Beach

429
00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:52,584
or whether it's somebody      
      choked to death by a cop

430
00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:54,628
in Staten Island years       
        later, Eric Gardner.

431
00:20:54,711 --> 00:20:58,590
It is the story, but the      
      issue is racial violence.

432
00:20:58,674 --> 00:21:02,052
But you need the story       
       to make the issue live.

433
00:21:02,135 --> 00:21:03,512
[shouting]

434
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:09,017
Can we hear now from Reverend-- 
   our singing minister--Sharpton?

435
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,352
Reverend Al Sharpton.

436
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:13,981
Al Sharpton. Brief words.

437
00:21:14,314 --> 00:21:19,111
Twenty years ago,         
         World War II ended,

438
00:21:19,194 --> 00:21:24,992
with one race of people at their 
 Holocaust saying, "Never again."

439
00:21:25,075 --> 00:21:29,579
We've heard for 40 years      
      people remind us of that

440
00:21:29,663 --> 00:21:33,834
while we have been raped,     
    while we have been murdered,

441
00:21:33,917 --> 00:21:38,297
while we have been exploited,   
     while we have been denied.

442
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:43,093
Here we stand in          
           New York City,

443
00:21:43,176 --> 00:21:44,469
Howard Beach,

444
00:21:44,553 --> 00:21:48,640
where people used to come     
   from the South for opportunity.

445
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:51,601
Where people used to        
       come from the Caribbean

446
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:54,062
feeling their problems       
           would be over.

447
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:55,355
Now they don't even know

448
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:58,442
if their children can       
         get home at night--

449
00:21:58,525 --> 00:22:00,944
not because they          
        did something wrong,

450
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:03,655
but because of the         
        color of their skin.

451
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:07,451
I come today to say        
         to Governor Cuomo,

452
00:22:07,534 --> 00:22:11,288
who's been silent during      
         this whole crisis,

453
00:22:11,371 --> 00:22:13,123
who hasn't opened his mouth,

454
00:22:13,206 --> 00:22:15,459
even though he           
         comes from Queens.

455
00:22:15,542 --> 00:22:17,919
He's got political laryngitis.

456
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:19,796
To Mayor Koch and         
          the rest of them,

457
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,509
that we did not have our      
   children to be target practice

458
00:22:24,593 --> 00:22:28,555
for some white mobs that      
      can't behave themselves!

459
00:22:28,638 --> 00:22:31,933
Never again will          
          we come and weep!

460
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:33,185
We will organize!

461
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,103
We will go to the precinct!

462
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:36,646
We will go to Santucci!

463
00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:38,648
We will go wherever        
            we got to go

464
00:22:38,732 --> 00:22:42,652
until you leave          
         our children alone!

465
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:46,031
Next day, front page        
       of The New York Times--

466
00:22:46,114 --> 00:22:48,241
they had been ignoring       
         all of this stuff--

467
00:22:48,408 --> 00:22:52,162
was us standing in front of    
   that pizzeria in Howard Beach.

468
00:22:52,245 --> 00:22:54,915
[Mason] Howard Beach,       
           have you heard?

469
00:22:54,998 --> 00:22:56,333
You are Johannesburg.

470
00:22:56,416 --> 00:22:59,503
[Sharpton]: It was at that     
    rally I met Mason and Maddox.

471
00:22:59,753 --> 00:23:01,922
And they said,           
      we have a legal strategy

472
00:23:02,005 --> 00:23:03,924
of noncooperation.

473
00:23:04,007 --> 00:23:06,343
You keep doing what you doing,   
     we'll do what we're doing.

474
00:23:06,426 --> 00:23:08,929
[Reporter]: Attorneys       
   Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox,

475
00:23:09,012 --> 00:23:11,139
representing the          
         surviving victims,

476
00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:13,225
says Sandiford           
         and Timothy Grimes

477
00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:14,559
would not testify

478
00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:17,854
until Governor Cuomo appoints   
        a special prosecutor.

479
00:23:17,938 --> 00:23:19,773
People know that in this city

480
00:23:19,856 --> 00:23:23,193
that no white person        
       has ever been convicted

481
00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:24,569
of murdering a Black person.

482
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:29,282
The argument was that the     
   local Queens district attorney

483
00:23:29,366 --> 00:23:32,994
was not gonna indict these kids

484
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:35,414
because he did           
         not want to offend

485
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:36,873
the voters in Howard Beach.

486
00:23:36,957 --> 00:23:39,459
[Reporter]: Some believe      
   that Blacks are responsible for

487
00:23:39,543 --> 00:23:41,628
most of the crime         
           in their area.

488
00:23:41,711 --> 00:23:44,756
When they rob us, nobody      
       does anything about it.

489
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,259
There are white racists,      
      there are Black racists.

490
00:23:47,342 --> 00:23:48,718
But the vast majority of people

491
00:23:48,802 --> 00:23:51,638
in every one of those       
          groups is decent.

492
00:23:51,721 --> 00:23:54,683
I think that unfortunately,    
    Howard Beach was inevitable.

493
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:58,645
It's an inevitable result     
        of a national climate

494
00:23:58,728 --> 00:24:01,314
of an absence of national     
       leadership which says,

495
00:24:01,398 --> 00:24:05,527
people's rights, people's civil 
     rights, must be protected.

496
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:07,821
A lot of white people       
       can't understand this.

497
00:24:07,904 --> 00:24:13,034
New York City is the        
       Birmingham of the '80s.

498
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:14,619
[Sharpton]:            
        We felt the only way

499
00:24:14,703 --> 00:24:18,457
that we would get an        
        impartial grand jury

500
00:24:18,540 --> 00:24:23,128
is if someone outside of      
     the politics of the county

501
00:24:23,211 --> 00:24:25,172
were to investigate the case.

502
00:24:25,255 --> 00:24:28,758
If you can't prosecute       
      the lynch mob for murder,

503
00:24:28,842 --> 00:24:33,305
the Griffith family does not    
    want anything less than that.

504
00:24:33,388 --> 00:24:36,475
Nothing can work, and nothing   
 can work as it should, at least,

505
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:38,477
without Sandiford testifying.

506
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,147
Why did Dr. King march       
      from Selma to Montgomery

507
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:45,817
when they could've         
        flown in in an hour?

508
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:47,277
[shouting]

509
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:49,154
[Sharpton]:            
       It was that daily walk

510
00:24:49,237 --> 00:24:51,573
that arrested the         
      attention of the country.

511
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:56,411
People are marching in Alabama   
   for the right to vote, day one.

512
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,788
Day three, they're         
           still marching.

513
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:00,874
It was drama.

514
00:25:00,957 --> 00:25:02,501
[shouting, chanting]

515
00:25:02,584 --> 00:25:04,211
And I'm bringing          
          all of this into

516
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:06,338
what we were doing         
            in New York.

517
00:25:06,421 --> 00:25:10,759
The Post called us         
        loudmouths yesterday.

518
00:25:10,842 --> 00:25:14,888
But I think if the Post      
        understands history,

519
00:25:14,971 --> 00:25:16,306
They will understand that

520
00:25:16,389 --> 00:25:19,601
they're putting us         
        in some good company.

521
00:25:19,684 --> 00:25:22,395
[cheers and applause]

522
00:25:22,896 --> 00:25:27,859
We're coming.           
         The summer is here.

523
00:25:28,109 --> 00:25:30,820
And we have a new saying.

524
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:33,490
-No justice--           
         -[Crowd]: No peace.

525
00:25:33,573 --> 00:25:35,450
-No justice--           
         -[Crowd]: No peace.

526
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:37,410
-No justice--           
         -[Crowd]: No peace.

527
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:41,414
We'd finally got to where     
      the legal strategy worked

528
00:25:41,498 --> 00:25:42,791
as we kept agitating.

529
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:45,502
Governor Mario Cuomo appointed   
        a special prosecutor.

530
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:46,878
This is a special episode.

531
00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:49,756
It has lifted tensions       
         to a special level.

532
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:51,925
It requires a special response.

533
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:57,097
And that's what we intend by all 
    that we have done here today.

534
00:25:58,223 --> 00:26:04,062
[string music]

535
00:26:08,441 --> 00:26:10,569
[Man]: So I'm gonna turn      
    your speaker up a little bit.

536
00:26:10,652 --> 00:26:11,861
[Sharpton]: Okay.

537
00:26:11,945 --> 00:26:12,571
[Man]: Okay.

538
00:26:12,696 --> 00:26:14,781
[Man]: Airing commercial.

539
00:26:14,864 --> 00:26:16,157
[chatter]

540
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:17,450
[Man]: Okay, we're back.

541
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:20,579
This Wednesday, MSNBC       
       and The Washington Post

542
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:23,331
are cohosting the next       
         presidential debate

543
00:26:23,415 --> 00:26:24,958
in Atlanta, Georgia.

544
00:26:25,041 --> 00:26:25,917
The event will feature

545
00:26:26,001 --> 00:26:28,503
the leading 10           
       Democratic contenders,

546
00:26:28,587 --> 00:26:33,383
and I will be there front and   
    center for all of the action.

547
00:26:33,466 --> 00:26:35,385
-Hi, how are you doing?      
       -I'm good, how are you?

548
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:37,637
I'm all right.           
          How y'all doing?

549
00:26:37,721 --> 00:26:38,805
Good, how are you doing?

550
00:26:38,888 --> 00:26:40,640
-All right, how's everybody?    
          -Good to see you.

551
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:42,726
Did you-- Did you         
        call Holly and them?

552
00:26:42,809 --> 00:26:44,644
'Cause I want to go        
         in the media room.

553
00:26:44,728 --> 00:26:46,646
-I'm following you?        
             -Yes, sir!

554
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:48,982
Martin!              
     I think I changed my mind.

555
00:26:49,065 --> 00:26:52,027
I'm gonna announce tonight     
        I'm gonna run again.

556
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,111
[laughing]

557
00:26:53,194 --> 00:26:54,571
That's not a bad idea.

558
00:26:54,654 --> 00:26:57,282
[Woman]: We'll send        
     Yolanda to be your cabinet.

559
00:26:57,365 --> 00:26:58,658
Cabinet?

560
00:26:58,742 --> 00:27:00,410
She gonna be on          
         top of the ticket.

561
00:27:00,493 --> 00:27:01,453
I'm gonna be--

562
00:27:01,536 --> 00:27:03,705
[laughing]             
          --vice president.

563
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:07,334
[indistinct chatter]

564
00:27:08,543 --> 00:27:09,794
We love you in           
       Savannah, Georgia, man.

565
00:27:09,878 --> 00:27:12,839
-Thank you.            
       -You don't come enough.

566
00:27:14,507 --> 00:27:16,801
-Thank you, sir.          
       -All right, thank you.

567
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:17,969

            How are you?

569
00:27:19,596 --> 00:27:21,431
-All right, how you been?     
               -Good.

570
00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:23,433
You might wanna get the shot.

571

582
00:28:00,929 --> 00:28:04,391
This election is going to be

583
00:28:04,474 --> 00:28:07,894
one of the most important     
        in American history.

584
00:28:07,977 --> 00:28:11,648
And certainly the most       
     important in our lifetime.

585
00:28:11,731 --> 00:28:14,901
Voting rights is under attack.

586
00:28:14,984 --> 00:28:20,365
And this president has put over 
 150 federal judges on the bench,

587
00:28:20,448 --> 00:28:22,784
most of who for a lifetime.

588
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:26,746

      the level of conversation

00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:30,375

       then who's gonna do it?

590
00:28:30,583 --> 00:28:31,876
That's why I wanted us to hear

591
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,461
some of the candidates       
            this morning.

592
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:35,714
All of them came to our      
        national convention.

593
00:28:35,797 --> 00:28:37,924
But I wanted some to        
         come and greet us,

594
00:28:38,007 --> 00:28:41,970
because I still say the strength 
   of our community, the backbone,

595
00:28:42,053 --> 00:28:45,056
is and always has been       
          the Black church.

596
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:46,099

597
00:28:46,182 --> 00:28:47,684

       preaching this morning,

598
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:49,352
Don't let me get going.

             -Thank you.

602
00:28:57,861 --> 00:28:59,362
[Reginald T Jackson]:       
      My brothers and sisters,

603
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:03,366
our nation is on          
       the verge of shipwreck.

604
00:29:03,450 --> 00:29:04,784
-[Man]: All right.         
          -[Man]: Yes, sir.

605
00:29:04,951 --> 00:29:08,580
[Jackson]: And it's imperative   
        that the Black church

606
00:29:08,663 --> 00:29:13,293
again be the conscience      
           of the nation.

[audience affirming]

608
00:29:14,794 --> 00:29:19,632
[Jackson]: God did not just    
       call us to be priestly.

609
00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:24,471
He also called us         
          to be prophetic.

610
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:30,393
Too many of us are content     
        just to be priestly.

611
00:29:30,477 --> 00:29:32,729
We don't wanna rock the boat!

612
00:29:32,812 --> 00:29:35,690
We don't wanna           
        challenge the system!

613
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:38,568
Maybe they'll give         
         us a proclamation.

614
00:29:38,651 --> 00:29:41,946
Maybe they'll invite us      
       to give the invocation.

615
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:45,617
Maybe they'll invite us to     
   lunch at the governor's house.

616
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:50,538
But God has called         
         us to be prophetic.

617
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:52,707
To speak truth to power.

618
00:29:52,832 --> 00:29:54,793
[applause]

619
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:59,130
Brothers and sisters,       
      2020 is gonna demonstrate

620
00:29:59,214 --> 00:30:03,676
whether we are           
       prophetic or pathetic.

621
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,848
[audience affirming]

622
00:30:09,182 --> 00:30:13,311
[Jackson]: God wants us      
       not only to praise him!

623
00:30:13,394 --> 00:30:15,647
He wants us to serve him!

624
00:30:15,730 --> 00:30:21,486
That's why I like the name,    
    the National Action Network.

625
00:30:21,569 --> 00:30:24,364
We've gotta have some action!

626
00:30:24,447 --> 00:30:26,115
We gotta go to work!

627
00:30:26,199 --> 00:30:31,287
We've gotta turn the        
         world upside down!

628
00:30:31,704 --> 00:30:33,873
Black leaders are planning     
       massive demonstrations

629
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:36,459
in New York tomorrow to      
        protest what they say

630
00:30:36,543 --> 00:30:38,253
is rampant racial violence.

631
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:40,672
The demonstrations come      
      as a decision is awaited

632
00:30:40,755 --> 00:30:43,967
in a racial attack case that's   
     getting national attention.

633
00:30:44,050 --> 00:30:45,927
Richard Schlesinger        
           has our report.

634
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:47,762
[Richard Schlesinger]: One year 
    after Michael Griffith died,

635
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:51,182
a jury is still trying to decide 
      if a gang of white youths

636
00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:53,852
chased him to his death      
         on a busy highway,

637
00:30:53,935 --> 00:30:56,729
or if it was all just       
         a tragic accident.

638
00:30:56,813 --> 00:30:59,524
After 11 days, there        
        is still no verdict.

639
00:30:59,607 --> 00:31:01,818
My feeling is that         
       we're coming to an end.

640
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:03,611
[Schlesinger]: Black        
     activists who have watched

641
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:06,322
the trial closely plan a      
     mass demonstration tomorrow

642
00:31:06,447 --> 00:31:07,699
to tie up traffic,

643
00:31:07,824 --> 00:31:11,619
despite a judge's order hastily 
     issued today to stop them.

644
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:12,871
We marched in Howard Beach.

645
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:14,455
And we were called niggers.

646
00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:15,665
They threw sticks at us.

647
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:17,333
Nobody gave them a         
         restraining order.

648
00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:20,628
No one has been restrained     
      through this whole crisis

00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:21,963
but Black leadership.

     what's your reaction, sir?

651
00:31:23,756 --> 00:31:25,258
[Maddox]: The police        
       department informed us

652
00:31:25,341 --> 00:31:29,345
that we do not have the right to 
   freely travel on certain days.

653
00:31:29,429 --> 00:31:32,348
The First Amendment to the     
     United States Constitution

654
00:31:32,432 --> 00:31:33,683
is being trampled upon.

655
00:31:33,766 --> 00:31:37,103
The nerve of them to use      
   legal apparatus on the victims

656
00:31:37,186 --> 00:31:39,856
while they still have not     
     addressed the victimizers.

657
00:31:39,939 --> 00:31:43,735
So he can get his best handcuffs 
       ready for me tomorrow.

658
00:31:43,818 --> 00:31:46,029
We intend to block the bridges.

659
00:31:46,112 --> 00:31:48,114
We intend to block         
           subway trains.

660

We intend to block the       
        Long Island Railroad.

661
00:31:50,825 --> 00:31:52,702
And we intend to send       
        Johnson and Ben Ward

662
00:31:52,785 --> 00:31:55,830

    next time they have diarrhea,

663
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:58,625
they can use a box of       
       Maalox and this order.

If anyone starts any shit in the

         taken away from us

713
00:35:09,607 --> 00:35:11,818
by racist oppressors.

714
00:35:11,901 --> 00:35:14,737
This city will never be      
      the same after this day.

715
00:35:14,821 --> 00:35:16,864
For 10 years, for 10 years

716
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:18,950
we marched up and         
         down these streets.

717
00:35:19,033 --> 00:35:22,411
For 10 years, for 10 years,    
          we demonstrated.

718
00:35:22,495 --> 00:35:25,790
So now we've raised it to     
 the level of civil disobedience.

719
00:35:25,873 --> 00:35:27,542
You talk bad,           
              Ben Ward!

720
00:35:27,625 --> 00:35:28,918
You talk bad, Koch!

721
00:35:29,001 --> 00:35:32,797
You came in the midnight      
        hours and served us.

722
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,924
Now we're here to serve you.

723
00:35:35,007 --> 00:35:35,967
Come on with it!

724
00:35:36,050 --> 00:35:37,552
We're ready to go.

725
00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:39,053
We told you we'd be here.

726
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:40,054
We're here!

727
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:41,639
We ain't taking no more!

728
00:35:41,722 --> 00:35:42,849
[Crowd chants:] We're fired up!

729
00:35:42,932 --> 00:35:44,225
We ain't taking no more!

730
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:46,227
We're fired up, we ain't      
           taking no more!

731
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:48,229
We're fired up, we ain't      
           taking no more!

732
00:35:48,312 --> 00:35:50,815
Fired up, we ain't         
           taking no more!

733
00:35:50,898 --> 00:35:51,941
Fired up!

734
00:35:52,024 --> 00:35:53,776
[clapping]

735
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:55,361
[Male anchor]:           
        Echoes of a verdict.

736
00:35:55,444 --> 00:35:57,530
They rode over New York      
        and the nation today

737
00:35:57,613 --> 00:36:00,533
after a jury convicted       
        three young white men

738
00:36:00,616 --> 00:36:01,826
and acquitted a fourth

739
00:36:01,909 --> 00:36:04,120
in the death of a         
     Black man just a year ago.

740
00:36:04,203 --> 00:36:06,539
That fatal outburst        
           of mob violence

741
00:36:06,622 --> 00:36:11,002
etched the words "Howard Beach" 
   on the nation's consciousness.

742
00:36:11,085 --> 00:36:12,503
And the anger, white and Black,

743
00:36:12,587 --> 00:36:14,297
didn't end with          
         the jury's verdict.

744
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:15,882
[Reporter]: Mason         
       and other Black leaders

745
00:36:15,965 --> 00:36:17,258
spent the night in jail.

746
00:36:17,341 --> 00:36:18,467
They were arrested yesterday

747
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:21,137
when a group of          
        about 500 protestors

748
00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:22,763
blocked rush hour traffic.

749
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:24,724
It was called a Day        
            of Outrage--

750
00:36:24,807 --> 00:36:29,145
outrage which continued today   
 despite attempts by city leaders

751
00:36:29,228 --> 00:36:30,730
to put the best          
        face on the verdict.

752
00:36:30,813 --> 00:36:33,649
Mayor Koch says he's not gonna   
     give any special treatment

753
00:36:33,733 --> 00:36:36,319
to any of the people arrested   
       in the Day of Outrage.

754
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:39,822
The Day of Outrage,        
        as they refer to it,

755
00:36:39,906 --> 00:36:41,949
took place before         
             the verdict

756
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:43,242
in the Howard Beach case.

757
00:36:43,326 --> 00:36:45,620
They were knocking it,       
        condemning it, before

758
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:47,121
they knew what it was.

759
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:49,832
Is that the way          
          to get your way?

760
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:52,585
To demonstrate           
       and to impose yourself?

761
00:36:52,668 --> 00:36:56,547
'Cause I don't think that's    
     what Blacks or whites want.

762
00:36:56,631 --> 00:36:58,216
[Reporter]: It would        
       be safe to say, though,

763
00:36:58,299 --> 00:36:59,675
that you're not hailing      
        last night's verdict

764
00:36:59,759 --> 00:37:01,135
as justice in New York City.

765
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:02,428
We want to hold comment.

766
00:37:02,511 --> 00:37:04,722
We have to bury          
          Yvonne Smallwood

767
00:37:04,805 --> 00:37:06,140
tomorrow night in the Bronx.

768
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:08,726
28-year-old Black         
       mother of four children

769
00:37:08,809 --> 00:37:11,729
beaten to death by New York    
    City policemen in the Bronx.

770
00:37:11,812 --> 00:37:14,357
And so we're gonna have      
    this funeral tomorrow night.

771
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,068
This struggle of racism and    
     racially motivated violence

772
00:37:17,151 --> 00:37:18,569
in New York City          
          is not over with.

773
00:37:18,653 --> 00:37:21,322
The Howard Beach verdict      
       does not end anything.

774
00:37:21,405 --> 00:37:24,408
[indistinct chatter]

775
00:37:28,454 --> 00:37:32,500
We have everything         
          in this movement.

776
00:37:34,877 --> 00:37:37,004
We have nationalists.

777
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:39,173
We have revolutionaries.

778
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:41,384
We have people who want to     
      overthrow the government.

779
00:37:41,467 --> 00:37:47,473
[shouting, cheering, applause]

780
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:50,226
And the reason why we       
        will continue to have

781
00:37:50,309 --> 00:37:51,852
everything in this movement,

782
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,229
because it             
        frightens white folks

783
00:37:53,312 --> 00:37:56,816
when we have everything      
          in this movement.

784
00:37:56,899 --> 00:37:59,610
[cheers and applause]

785
00:37:59,694 --> 00:38:03,322
It lets white folks know that   
      we might be Malcolm today

786
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:05,324
and Martin Luther King       
              tomorrow.

787
00:38:05,408 --> 00:38:08,369
[cheering, shouting]

788
00:38:11,831 --> 00:38:13,874
[applause]

789
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:16,460
Those that oppress us

790
00:38:16,544 --> 00:38:20,172
had the nerve to          
          try and advise us

791
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:24,677
on how we ought to try       
       to get free from them.

792
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,053
[laughing]

793
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:31,684
[cheers and applause]

794
00:38:36,022 --> 00:38:39,859
[Sharpton]: We are         
         intelligent enough

795
00:38:39,942 --> 00:38:42,194
not to let you tell us

796
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:47,408
what tactics that you       
        are comfortable with

797
00:38:47,491 --> 00:38:49,327
to hold us in slavery.

798
00:38:49,410 --> 00:38:52,371
[cheers and applause]

799
00:38:52,496 --> 00:38:55,374
[Sharpton]: You don't have     
      none of us under control.

800
00:38:55,458 --> 00:39:00,713
[cheers and applause]

801
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,218
And you will never have      
       us under control again.

802
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:10,389
[cheers and applause]

803
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,101
[Sharpton]: That          
          was Howard Beach.

804
00:39:15,895 --> 00:39:18,272
It felt like a victory,

805
00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:21,776
but you knew            
        that you won a case,

806
00:39:21,859 --> 00:39:24,987
not changed the system.

807
00:39:25,196 --> 00:39:26,489
I'd been in the          
         movement since 12,

808
00:39:26,572 --> 00:39:30,951
and I knew the difference     
           between moments

809
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:33,412
and movements that won.

810
00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:37,083
So it was a good          
         momentary victory.

811
00:39:37,166 --> 00:39:41,504
[cheers and applause]

812
00:39:41,754 --> 00:39:45,091
But I knew there was        
        no structural change

813
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:47,635
in the criminal justice system.

814
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:51,305
If you had some advice       
          for young people,

815
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:53,808
what would you tell 'em?

816
00:39:53,891 --> 00:39:56,602
Well, first thing I'd say,     
       get yourself together,

817
00:39:56,685 --> 00:39:59,563
because before you can       
     get anything else together,

818
00:39:59,647 --> 00:40:03,818
you gotta get me, I, yourself.

819
00:40:03,901 --> 00:40:06,654
Hey, that's very short,      
        but it's very direct.

820
00:40:06,737 --> 00:40:08,364
We have a young man        
            in the studio

821
00:40:08,447 --> 00:40:11,283
who I think is an         
      astounding young brother

822
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:15,204
because of his youth,       
       he's only 19 years old,

823
00:40:15,287 --> 00:40:16,580
and he's accomplished a lot.

824
00:40:16,664 --> 00:40:20,000
And he's here to make a      
    presentation to James Brown.

825
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:22,378
And we'd like to welcome      
             him warmly.

826
00:40:22,461 --> 00:40:25,881
His name is Al Sharpton.      
    How about it for Al Sharpton?

827
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:29,135
[applause]

828
00:40:29,218 --> 00:40:33,055
Al is the             
       national director of...

829
00:40:33,139 --> 00:40:34,974
-The National--          
        -The National Youth--

830
00:40:35,057 --> 00:40:36,976
-Movement.             
      -Movement, Incorporated.

831
00:40:37,059 --> 00:40:38,352
-Right, Al?            
           -That's right.

832
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:39,645
And what do we have here?

833
00:40:39,728 --> 00:40:43,274
Well, we come           
         to break tradition.

834
00:40:43,357 --> 00:40:45,443
We know that in the        
         recording industry

835
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:46,735
that they give a gold record

836
00:40:46,819 --> 00:40:49,363
to those that achieve       
          a million seller.

837
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:52,241
But we view your          
      million seller, Payback,

838
00:40:52,324 --> 00:40:55,244
as a Black record, because     
       it is relevant and says

839
00:40:55,327 --> 00:40:58,289
many of the things that      
   young Blacks have tried to say

840
00:40:58,372 --> 00:41:02,418
and could not musically express 
       in our own little way.

841
00:41:02,501 --> 00:41:05,963
And we feel The Payback is sort 
     of the like the theme song

842
00:41:06,046 --> 00:41:08,549
of young Black America in 1974.

843
00:41:08,632 --> 00:41:10,759
[cheers and applause]

844
00:41:10,926 --> 00:41:13,679
[Sharpton]:            
    James Brown was the biggest,

845
00:41:13,762 --> 00:41:18,893
most regarded, legendary Black   
   star in the world at that time.

846
00:41:18,976 --> 00:41:24,899
And this was at one of       
    the lowest points in my life.

847
00:41:25,274 --> 00:41:27,359
-Where were you born?       
        -Brooklyn, New York.

848
00:41:27,776 --> 00:41:29,320
[Charlie Rose]: Yeah,       
         your dad left you--

849
00:41:29,403 --> 00:41:30,488
When I was 10 years old.

850
00:41:30,571 --> 00:41:32,114
[Rose]: And how          
        does that shape you?

851
00:41:32,198 --> 00:41:33,657
How have you lived with that?

852
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:35,659
Well, it is certainly something

853
00:41:35,743 --> 00:41:39,538
that makes you reach outside    
   of your home for male figures.

854
00:41:39,705 --> 00:41:42,291
[Sharpton] I woke up one      
    morning. My father had left.

855
00:41:42,374 --> 00:41:46,670
He had left with my stepsister, 
        and they had a child.

856
00:41:46,879 --> 00:41:51,383
It impacted me more than      
      I would admit to myself.

857
00:41:51,634 --> 00:41:54,053
When my daddy left,

858
00:41:54,136 --> 00:41:56,555
my mother became          
         mother and father.

859
00:41:56,639 --> 00:42:01,018
Sixty percent of young       
      African children grow up

860
00:42:01,101 --> 00:42:03,145
with just their momma at home.

861
00:42:03,229 --> 00:42:05,272
Hello, Rev.            
        This is your mother.

862
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:08,192
And I think so very much      
    every time I hear you speak,

863
00:42:08,275 --> 00:42:09,777
every time I see you perform,

864
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:11,904
every time I see          
         your lovely work--

865
00:42:11,987 --> 00:42:15,324
I just think about how       
       good God has been to me

866
00:42:15,407 --> 00:42:17,910
now and through the years     
        that I delivered you

867
00:42:17,993 --> 00:42:19,578
for these, our people.

868
00:42:19,662 --> 00:42:24,542
[Sharpton]: I was looking     
        for a father figure.

869
00:42:24,625 --> 00:42:29,213
The wisdom of my mother      
         was she understood

870
00:42:29,630 --> 00:42:34,343
that if she didn't guide me    
   around the right male figures,

871
00:42:34,426 --> 00:42:37,930
that I was, because        
           of this hunger,

872
00:42:38,013 --> 00:42:42,518
would seek them out, and it    
   might be negative male figures.

873
00:42:42,601 --> 00:42:44,270
-Where did you grow up?      
    -[Sharpton]: In Brownsville,

874
00:42:44,353 --> 00:42:46,564
which is probably the       
       worst part in the city.

875
00:42:46,647 --> 00:42:50,317
Mike Tyson came out of there.   
      And you know, I'm 37 now.

876
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:52,444
Most--I can't think        
           of two friends

877
00:42:52,528 --> 00:42:54,029
that are not either        
          in jail or dead.

878
00:42:54,113 --> 00:42:57,449
[Sharpton] So when she brought   
      me to Bishop Washington,

879
00:42:57,533 --> 00:43:00,119
and he brought me         
         to a Reverend Jones

880
00:43:00,202 --> 00:43:01,412
and a Jesse Jackson,

881
00:43:01,495 --> 00:43:04,748
that was because she        
      was smart enough to say,

882
00:43:04,832 --> 00:43:06,834
"He's gonna need          
         that in his life."

883
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:11,589
My Father's Day is about those   
       that have fathered our       
             community.

884
00:43:11,672 --> 00:43:12,506
[audience affirming]

885
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:13,632
[Woman]: That's right!

886
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:16,635
Those that pay the extra price.

887
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,806
Those that have done        
       what needed to be done,

888
00:43:20,889 --> 00:43:24,685
even when others were       
        not willing to do it.

889
00:43:24,768 --> 00:43:27,271
I always gave her credit,

890
00:43:27,354 --> 00:43:33,360
that this uneducated        
      Black woman from Alabama,

891
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:37,615
never studied child-rearing,    
      never studied psychology,

892
00:43:37,698 --> 00:43:39,575
but she knew that.

893
00:43:39,658 --> 00:43:42,578
We got too many          
       young people in America

894
00:43:42,661 --> 00:43:45,914
who do not have two        
       parents to look up to,

895
00:43:45,998 --> 00:43:47,541
and there's only so        
            many hours--

896
00:43:47,625 --> 00:43:50,586
And that problem is        
    compounded by a young mother

897
00:43:50,669 --> 00:43:52,504
who is now being unemployed,

898
00:43:52,588 --> 00:43:54,882
whose job's been given       
      to international markets,

899
00:43:55,090 --> 00:43:56,383
who has no daycare help,

900
00:43:56,467 --> 00:43:58,469
who has no             
         type of assistance

901
00:43:58,552 --> 00:43:59,720
from the federal government.

902
00:43:59,803 --> 00:44:01,305
So he has no role model.

903
00:44:01,388 --> 00:44:02,765
His mother can't          
          take care of him.

904
00:44:02,848 --> 00:44:05,517
He's thrown in the streets     
    with no educational program.

905
00:44:05,601 --> 00:44:08,854
He watches television that     
   gives him a digest of violence.

906
00:44:08,937 --> 00:44:11,774
And then he's incarcerated     
      when he takes TV's advice

907
00:44:11,857 --> 00:44:14,193
and picks up a gun and       
    plays Have Gun - Will Travel.

908
00:44:14,276 --> 00:44:17,446
Probably if he had not left    
    and they had stayed together,

909
00:44:17,529 --> 00:44:20,115
I would have been a        
       much different person,

910
00:44:20,324 --> 00:44:21,784
'cause I probably         
        would've never known

911
00:44:21,867 --> 00:44:23,118
the difference of zip codes.

912
00:44:23,202 --> 00:44:26,246
I would've never saw the      
    father figure in Adam Powell,

913
00:44:26,330 --> 00:44:29,333
or Jesse Jackson,         
           or James Brown.

00:44:29,416 --> 00:44:32,628
[chatter]

915
00:44:32,711 --> 00:44:36,507
[Sharpton]: And I understood    
        what a lot of people

916
00:44:36,590 --> 00:44:37,716
didn't get to understand.

917
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,220
I knew both sides of        
        the Black experience.

918
00:44:41,303 --> 00:44:42,596
There's one thing         
            about you is

919
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,848
I know as long as you're      
       involved, I'm involved.

920
00:44:44,932 --> 00:44:46,392
I'm committed to          
          you 'cause I know

921
00:44:46,475 --> 00:44:47,976
you're trying to do something.   
          -Thank you, sir.

922
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:48,811
I sure thank ya.

923
00:44:48,894 --> 00:44:50,562
[Sharpton]: I learned       
          from James Brown

924
00:44:50,646 --> 00:44:54,400
that if you really         
          find your rhythm

925
00:44:54,483 --> 00:44:58,195
and find what you         
     believe in and what you do,

926
00:44:58,278 --> 00:45:04,368
that sooner or later, the world 
       will cross over to you

927
00:45:04,451 --> 00:45:06,704
rather than you          
         cross over to them.

928
00:45:06,787 --> 00:45:09,748

[ mournful vocalizing ]

931
00:46:27,701 --> 00:46:29,495
People have called for       
         charges to be laid,

932
00:46:29,578 --> 00:46:31,955
but this crowd is wondering    
         what does it take?

933
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:34,666
Back before there were video,   
     they could understand that.

934
00:46:34,750 --> 00:46:35,751
Now they can't.

935
00:46:35,834 --> 00:46:37,127
People are calling         
           it a lynching.

936
00:46:37,211 --> 00:46:39,046
[Anchor]: Frustration       
      over the lack of charges

937
00:46:39,129 --> 00:46:42,132
against the officers turned    
        into anger overnight,

938
00:46:42,216 --> 00:46:44,510
and it all comes as Minnesota   
     and the rest of the country

939
00:46:44,593 --> 00:46:47,846
are facing the dual toll      
      of rising jobless claims

940
00:46:47,930 --> 00:46:49,640
and cases of coronavirus.

941
00:46:49,723 --> 00:46:52,643
All you need is probable      
      cause to make an arrest.

942
00:46:52,726 --> 00:46:55,103
And there is no reason       
      why these four policemen

943
00:46:55,187 --> 00:46:57,523
should not have been        
          arrested by now.

[Reporter]: The nation       
    erupted into scenes of chaos,

947
00:47:07,282 --> 00:47:07,991
violence.

948
00:47:08,242 --> 00:47:10,577
There are people here who     
      are really, really angry

949
00:47:10,661 --> 00:47:13,205
about the systemic issues     
     that they're talking about.

950
00:47:13,288 --> 00:47:15,624
As part of Minneapolis       
         burned last night,

"When the looting starts,     
        the shooting starts."

953
00:47:20,838 --> 00:47:23,423
These criminal acts        
          are not protest.

954
00:47:23,507 --> 00:47:25,342
They are not statements.

955
00:47:25,425 --> 00:47:27,427
Does this violence help?

956
00:47:27,511 --> 00:47:28,679
It doesn't help anything,

957
00:47:28,762 --> 00:47:30,681
but it lets you know        
         that they're tired!

958
00:47:30,764 --> 00:47:33,475
They're tired of being       
      oppressed, being misused,

959
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:35,811
being abused, being        
          murdered at will!

960
00:47:35,894 --> 00:47:38,146
What do you mean by        
     "Justice should be served"?

961
00:47:38,230 --> 00:47:42,442
I'll leave that to the       
     justice system to work out.

962
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:44,987
There's this tinge         
          a horrific irony,

963
00:47:45,070 --> 00:47:48,907
to hear calls for         
     tranquility and status quo

964
00:47:48,991 --> 00:47:51,159
when justice has still       
         not been delivered.

965
00:47:51,243 --> 00:47:53,996
I'm not gonna pretend       
          for a millisecond

966
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:57,124
to know what it's like to be    
     a Black person in America.

967
00:47:57,207 --> 00:47:58,250
I don't.

968
00:47:58,333 --> 00:48:01,378
But the only thing I do know is 
   that we all need to do better.

969
00:48:01,461 --> 00:48:02,462
We need to love more.

970
00:48:02,546 --> 00:48:05,424
We need to respect more.      
             Do better.

971
00:48:05,507 --> 00:48:06,675
So part of             
         what we have to do

972
00:48:06,758 --> 00:48:08,594
is try to understand        
            the context.

973
00:48:08,677 --> 00:48:10,137
[Tucker Carlson]:         
          Oh, the context.

974
00:48:10,220 --> 00:48:12,639
And squint your eyes as you    
   said. "The context." Of course!

975
00:48:12,723 --> 00:48:15,434
There's a context to        
     setting fire to McDonald's,

976
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:16,727
says Professor Gloud.

977
00:48:16,810 --> 00:48:20,480
I think that this could      
         be a tipping point

978
00:48:20,564 --> 00:48:21,982
to have this conversation.

979
00:48:22,065 --> 00:48:24,109
But you cannot           
         have a conversation

980
00:48:24,192 --> 00:48:25,986
until these officers        
            are arrested

981
00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:28,739
and show that we are        
     dealing on a playing field

982
00:48:28,822 --> 00:48:31,992
that is even and that       
        is fair to everyone.

983
00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:34,828
Without that, it's         
        talk with no action.

984
00:48:34,912 --> 00:48:36,371
We don't just need         
           a conversation.

985
00:48:36,455 --> 00:48:42,169
We need the implementation     
      and execution of the law.

986
00:48:42,961 --> 00:48:44,755
[Man] Solidarity and respect.

987
00:48:44,838 --> 00:48:47,132
All right, thanks.

      the funerals and hotels.

990
00:49:00,187 --> 00:49:02,814
So whatever rooms you get,     
      Robert is gonna pay for.

991
00:49:02,898 --> 00:49:05,692
He told me to lay it out      
     and he would reimburse me.

992
00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:08,904
So put the credit card up     
      there. We'll pay for 'em.

993
00:49:08,987 --> 00:49:12,532
All right, anything        
        come up, let me know.

994
00:49:17,871 --> 00:49:19,998
Where am I going?

995
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:26,755
[Woman]: If the question comes   
    from the media about looting,

996
00:49:26,838 --> 00:49:30,634
we wanted to pass to you      
       first to set the tone.

997
00:49:32,302 --> 00:49:35,681
I wanna say I'm sorry       
      that it's taken this long

998
00:49:35,764 --> 00:49:36,974
to pass these bills.

999
00:49:37,057 --> 00:49:41,186
These are bills that        
     should've passed long ago.

1000
00:49:41,269 --> 00:49:45,273
And I wanna acknowledge the    
    fact that it should not take

1001
00:49:45,357 --> 00:49:50,612
a murder of a Black man in     
 Minneapolis to pass these bills.

1002
00:49:50,696 --> 00:49:51,947
These bills should've passed

1003
00:49:52,030 --> 00:49:55,242
after Eric Garner was       
     murdered in New York City.

1004
00:49:55,409 --> 00:49:57,285
[Gwen C a rr]:           
       We want a federal law.

1005
00:49:57,369 --> 00:50:00,539
And any time            
      anyone uses a chokehold,

1006
00:50:00,622 --> 00:50:02,249
they are immediately,

1007
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:05,585
immediately locked up       
            and charged.

1008
00:50:05,669 --> 00:50:06,962
[applause]

1009
00:50:07,045 --> 00:50:09,214
Don't wait five years       
             like mine.

1010
00:50:09,297 --> 00:50:11,383
My case drug on for five years.

1011
00:50:11,466 --> 00:50:15,012
And after five years,       
      the DOJ dropped the ball

1012
00:50:15,095 --> 00:50:17,806
and said that they         
       weren't going forward.

1013
00:50:17,889 --> 00:50:20,600
You may not be going        
         forward, but I am.

00:50:22,227 --> 00:50:25,105
To those that are         
        doing violent things,

1016
00:50:25,188 --> 00:50:29,901
don't use George Floyd       
      and Eric Garner as props.

1017
00:50:29,985 --> 00:50:32,279
If you are one           
          that is a looter,

1018
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:35,907
don't act like           
        you are an activist.

1019
00:50:35,991 --> 00:50:40,078
Because a activist goes      
       for causes and justice,

1020
00:50:40,162 --> 00:50:42,289
not for designer shoes.

1021
00:50:42,372 --> 00:50:44,416

[phone ringing]

1023
00:50:48,378 --> 00:50:53,550
Senator Schumer, it was      
       the outrage of the day

1024
00:50:53,633 --> 00:50:55,427
to call for militarization.

1025
00:50:55,510 --> 00:50:57,763
You can't say the week       
         with this president

1026
00:50:57,846 --> 00:51:00,015
'cause he does           
         at least one a day.

1027
00:51:00,098 --> 00:51:02,059
I'm doing the eulogy        
           at the funeral,

1028
00:51:02,142 --> 00:51:04,227
the first memorial         
        service on Thursday,

1029
00:51:04,311 --> 00:51:07,314
and then the one on Saturday,   
       and the one on Tuesday.

1030
00:51:07,397 --> 00:51:10,400
And I would hope that       
    we could let this family know

1031
00:51:10,484 --> 00:51:13,278
that we are gonna         
       see legislative change.

1032
00:51:13,361 --> 00:51:18,408
It's not enough just to keep    
      showing the activist part

1033
00:51:18,492 --> 00:51:20,744
if the legislative         
         part is not there.

1034
00:51:20,827 --> 00:51:22,537
What made the           
           60s significant

1035
00:51:22,621 --> 00:51:26,166
is with all the marching,     
   and the drama, and the rallies,

1036
00:51:26,249 --> 00:51:28,960
we got the Civil Rights Act    
               of '64,

1037
00:51:29,044 --> 00:51:32,798
the Voting Rights Act of '65,   
        open housing of '68.

1038
00:51:32,881 --> 00:51:36,259
We have not had the        
        legislative response

1039
00:51:36,343 --> 00:51:39,179
to the litany of          
          cases of policing

1040
00:51:39,262 --> 00:51:41,056
all the way from          
         Rodney King to now.

1041
00:51:41,139 --> 00:51:43,183
It's time to be able        
          to translate that

1042
00:51:43,266 --> 00:51:47,145
into legislation,         
       not just conversation.

1043
00:51:51,024 --> 00:51:53,568
[Schumer]: I'm gonna send     
   everybody a speech I just gave

1044
00:51:53,652 --> 00:51:54,986
on the floor of the Senate,

1045
00:51:55,070 --> 00:51:58,365
where I was really strong     
       against the president.

[phone ringing]

1048
00:52:04,621 --> 00:52:05,872
Hello?

1049
00:52:05,956 --> 00:52:07,207
[Derrick Johnson]:         
      Hey, Rev, how you doin'?

1050
00:52:07,290 --> 00:52:10,127
Hey, how you feelin'?

1051
00:52:10,210 --> 00:52:11,670
[Johnson]: I'm good,        
         I'm good, I'm good.

1052
00:52:11,753 --> 00:52:15,006
I wanna start by saying      
   that the way you maneuver, man,

1053
00:52:15,090 --> 00:52:18,093
I'm loving it.           
   I've watched it, I'm learning.

1054
00:52:18,176 --> 00:52:22,848
Uh, I need to get some lessons   
     'cause you--you damn good.

1055
00:52:22,931 --> 00:52:25,767
Well, coming from the       
       president of the NAACP,

1056
00:52:25,851 --> 00:52:27,561
I take it as a           
        compliment, Derrick.

1057
00:52:27,644 --> 00:52:30,939
Well, America, we are       
       about to open the door

1058
00:52:31,022 --> 00:52:33,400
on our beloved city        
          called New York.

1059
00:52:33,567 --> 00:52:36,570
Mr. Sharpton was one        
         of several arrested

1060
00:52:36,653 --> 00:52:39,906
in a blocking of the        
    Brooklyn Bridge at rush hour,

1061
00:52:39,990 --> 00:52:43,535
not to mention a couple      
       of subway trains here.

1062

For which he gets an applause

1064
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,874
which does about          
          a two and a half

1065
00:52:48,999 --> 00:52:51,585
on the old popularity meter.

1066
00:52:51,668 --> 00:52:54,462
So we do 8 minutes...

1067
00:52:54,546 --> 00:52:57,924
and 34 seconds           
         during the funeral.

1068
00:52:58,008 --> 00:52:59,301
[Johnson]: 46 seconds.

1069
00:52:59,384 --> 00:53:01,595
No, well, I don't know.      
            You tell me.

Hey, Reverend,

         on the other line.

1077
00:53:16,193 --> 00:53:17,485
Let's get this straight.

   politically active Black people

1079
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:25,076

     they are actually causing,

1080

        occasions, purposely,

1081
00:53:28,330 --> 00:53:33,668
disruption of our city's life   
     not unlike the disruption,

00:53:33,752 --> 00:53:35,378
or peaceful demonstrations,

1083

       Martin Luther King, Jr.

      call to action out of it?

1085
00:53:39,591 --> 00:53:43,428

       for big march and rally

1086

on August 28, the anniversary   
     of the March on Washington,

00:53:46,473 --> 00:53:49,684

        people in Washington.

this is your space.

It should surprise no one that   
   Mr. Maddox, Mr. Sharpton have,

1092
00:54:00,153 --> 00:54:03,323
at various times,         
        been called hot dogs.

1093

You're out for           
         your own publicity,

          a lot of trouble,

1095
00:54:09,079 --> 00:54:10,997
and you're overdoing        
          this race thing.

      move on into the future.

Well, I think--

1099
00:54:17,879 --> 00:54:21,925
I think the charge of hot dogs   
    could be really put to rest.

1100
00:54:22,008 --> 00:54:24,469
If these cases did not exist,

1101
00:54:24,552 --> 00:54:28,640
there would be no reason      
     for us to come to anybody.

1102
00:54:28,723 --> 00:54:32,269
The media catches us in motion. 
    They don't start the motion.

1103
00:54:32,352 --> 00:54:35,689
And we've been marching long    
    before the media covered us.

         the '70s and '80s,

1106
00:54:39,150 --> 00:54:41,528

         loudmouths are for.

1113
00:54:55,083 --> 00:54:56,584
Let these guys talk first.

1114
00:54:56,668 --> 00:54:58,253
You can't debate          
       first before I give it.

1115
00:54:58,336 --> 00:55:00,672

      an answer, it's a story.

1116
00:55:00,755 --> 00:55:01,589
Go on and tell me.

1117
00:55:01,673 --> 00:55:03,300
[Sharpton]:            
        No, it is an answer.

1118
00:55:03,383 --> 00:55:05,051
What's the difference       
    between a "fag" and "nigger"?

1119
00:55:05,135 --> 00:55:06,803
You wouldn't sit still       
       for the word "nigger".

1120
00:55:06,886 --> 00:55:12,684
And sometimes we had to go     
     on the racy kind of shows.

1121
00:55:12,767 --> 00:55:14,102
No, I won't apologize.

1122
00:55:14,185 --> 00:55:16,730
In the manner in which       
    I use it, I do not apologize.

1124
00:55:17,856 --> 00:55:21,318

      for refusing to apologize

1125
00:55:21,401 --> 00:55:22,652
for using the word "nigger".

1126
00:55:22,736 --> 00:55:25,613
Do you realize           
     what that does for America?

1127
00:55:25,697 --> 00:55:28,283
[Sharpton]: The polished shows   
         wouldn't have us on

1128
00:55:28,366 --> 00:55:29,868
'cause they didn't         
       wanna talk about race,

1129
00:55:29,951 --> 00:55:33,955
and they certainly didn't want   
     to talk about it to people.

1130
00:55:34,039 --> 00:55:35,665
that were going to         
        tell them the truth.

1131
00:55:35,749 --> 00:55:40,045
This business of racism is     
     not new, and it's systemic.

1132
00:55:40,128 --> 00:55:42,005
You have to know that.       
        You have to know that

1133
00:55:42,088 --> 00:55:43,548
you're even unaware        
        that you're a racist.

1134
00:55:43,631 --> 00:55:47,385
They would have these guys     
   that will hoot and howl at you

1135
00:55:47,469 --> 00:55:49,012
in the studio audience.

1136
00:55:49,095 --> 00:55:52,932
And I am sick of          
     you people promoting racism

1137
00:55:53,016 --> 00:55:54,351
on its highest level,

1138
00:55:54,434 --> 00:55:56,895
and that's exactly         
         what you're doing.

1139
00:55:56,978 --> 00:55:58,897
[applause]

1140
00:55:58,980 --> 00:56:03,443
So it was that kind of almost   
     confrontational television.

1141
00:56:03,526 --> 00:56:06,529
You weren't here to help      
   build up America, most of you.

1142
00:56:06,613 --> 00:56:09,282
Your grandparents were,      
        right along with me.

1143
00:56:09,366 --> 00:56:11,659
And you wouldn't know       
       what it is to be Black.

1144
00:56:11,743 --> 00:56:14,496
That's why you can sit up     
     and say what you're saying.

1145
00:56:14,579 --> 00:56:17,957
You don't know what it is,     
       and you may never know,

1146
00:56:18,041 --> 00:56:19,209
because you're not Black.

1147
00:56:19,292 --> 00:56:20,835
[Sharpton]: We went        
      through everywhere else.

1148
00:56:20,919 --> 00:56:22,170
Richard Bey was all available.

1149
00:56:22,253 --> 00:56:25,173
And the question is, you      
     do that, or you do nothing.

1150
00:56:25,256 --> 00:56:26,758
We're not asking you        
             to like us.

1151
00:56:26,841 --> 00:56:30,136
We're saying that we should    
     be protected under the law.

1152
00:56:30,220 --> 00:56:34,808
Whatever America is,        
       white folks created it.

1153
00:56:34,891 --> 00:56:35,850
We did not.

1154
00:56:35,934 --> 00:56:38,895
It's a combination of       
     things that created racism.

1155
00:56:38,978 --> 00:56:40,021
[Donahue]: Like what?

1156
00:56:40,105 --> 00:56:41,398
Well, okay, you          
         have, as you said,

1157
00:56:41,481 --> 00:56:42,982
the whites created the world--

1158
00:56:43,066 --> 00:56:45,151
or created America,        
          I agree with you.

1159
00:56:45,235 --> 00:56:46,194
[shouting]

1160
00:56:46,277 --> 00:56:47,946
Wait a minute,           
        can I make my point?

1161
00:56:48,029 --> 00:56:49,155
Can I make my point?

1162
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,157
I am feeling for you.       
        I am very empathetic.

1163
00:56:51,241 --> 00:56:55,829
But then you had the buttoned   
       down more sophisticated      
            network types

1164
00:56:55,912 --> 00:56:57,580
that talked very measured.

1165
00:56:57,664 --> 00:57:00,333
It seems to me that part      
      of what you two gentlemen

1166
00:57:00,417 --> 00:57:01,584
are trying to do is perhaps

1167
00:57:01,668 --> 00:57:03,711
to change the legal        
        system in the street.

1168
00:57:03,795 --> 00:57:06,381
We're trying to          
         establish the fact

1169
00:57:06,464 --> 00:57:08,466
that there is a          
         prevalent racial--

1170
00:57:08,550 --> 00:57:10,301
[Ted Koppel]: My question     
     was, whether you're trying

1171
00:57:10,385 --> 00:57:12,929
to change the legal        
       system in the streets.

1172
00:57:13,012 --> 00:57:13,847
[overlapping voices]

1173
00:57:13,930 --> 00:57:15,014
I'm trying to answer you.

1174
00:57:15,098 --> 00:57:16,599
[Sharpton]: But          
         had the same basic

1175
00:57:16,683 --> 00:57:19,018
exclusion of Black thought,

1176
00:57:19,102 --> 00:57:23,440
the distorted depiction      
              of race.

1177
00:57:23,523 --> 00:57:27,235
They just did it in        
        a more polished way.

1178
00:57:27,318 --> 00:57:28,695
[Bey]: This morning's       
             newspapers,

1179
00:57:28,778 --> 00:57:30,822
"Sharpton 'The Informer' is    
      as an entertaining racist

1180
00:57:30,905 --> 00:57:32,782
"playing the race game       
         for fun and profit,

1181
00:57:32,866 --> 00:57:35,452
"the way generations of white   
    Southern racists played it."

1182
00:57:35,535 --> 00:57:36,744
There was a joke going around

1183
00:57:36,828 --> 00:57:38,079
that was in the          
        Wall Street Journal,

1184
00:57:38,163 --> 00:57:39,414
repeated in Esquire magazine.

1185
00:57:39,497 --> 00:57:42,250
What do you do if you       
        have Saddam Hussein,

1186
00:57:42,333 --> 00:57:44,377
Muammar Qaddafi,          
          and Al Sharpton,

1187
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:46,796
and in your hand is a       
        gun with two bullets?

1188
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,466
The answer is you shoot      
         Al Sharpton twice.

1189
00:57:49,549 --> 00:57:52,510
[Sharpton]: So if you go back to 
   the '80s and '90s in New York,

1190
00:57:52,594 --> 00:57:58,141
and you go to the editorial    
     room that decided the news,

1191
00:57:58,224 --> 00:58:00,685
they were all white.

1192
00:58:00,768 --> 00:58:02,812
Why would they help        
          a Black movement

1193
00:58:02,896 --> 00:58:06,858
that they know would come to    
   get them for racial exclusion?

1194
00:58:06,941 --> 00:58:09,027
The media is really        
         manipulating people

1195
00:58:09,110 --> 00:58:11,196
to feel and think         
           a certain way.

1196
00:58:11,279 --> 00:58:12,238
Nobody's controlling me.

1197
00:58:12,322 --> 00:58:13,865
Nobody comes down         
           here and says--

1198
00:58:13,948 --> 00:58:15,533
-[Sharpton]: Come on, Richard.   
   -[Mason]: You need to wake up.

1199
00:58:15,617 --> 00:58:17,285
You mean you're          
       doing this on your own?

1200
00:58:17,368 --> 00:58:18,495
That's right!

1201
00:58:18,578 --> 00:58:19,913
Okay, all right.

1202
00:58:19,996 --> 00:58:23,041
[Sharpton]: The way you      
        discredit a movement

1203
00:58:23,124 --> 00:58:26,544
is you discredit those that    
    are in front of the movement.

1204
00:58:26,628 --> 00:58:30,215
Former president Truman      
        was quoted by the AP

1205
00:58:30,298 --> 00:58:34,010
as saying that the march      
       from Selma was "silly."

1206
00:58:34,093 --> 00:58:35,845
The march was not silly at all.

1207
00:58:35,929 --> 00:58:37,514
[Sharpton]:            
       Martin Luther King, Jr.

1208
00:58:37,597 --> 00:58:39,766
National holiday in his honor.

1209
00:58:39,849 --> 00:58:41,893
You read books on         
         Martin Luther King.

1210
00:58:42,018 --> 00:58:45,271
Isn't it interesting they     
      never say he was indicted

1211
00:58:45,355 --> 00:58:48,942
for income tax fraud and      
     misappropriation of funds?

1212
00:58:49,025 --> 00:58:51,528
They don't want you to remember 
      the first thing they did

1213
00:58:51,611 --> 00:58:53,696
was try to make him a crook.

1214
00:58:53,780 --> 00:58:56,533
He had to go on trial       
         and get acquitted.

1215
00:58:56,616 --> 00:59:00,036
Adam Clayton Powell, indicted   
       for income tax evasion.

1216
00:59:00,119 --> 00:59:01,412
The gentleman's question was

1217
00:59:01,496 --> 00:59:03,206
that if the case          
          goes against me,

1218
00:59:03,289 --> 00:59:05,333
could it be used          
       against me politically?

1219
00:59:05,416 --> 00:59:06,960
You answer him, please?

1220
00:59:07,043 --> 00:59:07,919
No!

1221
00:59:08,002 --> 00:59:10,755
Marcus Gravey ran out       
      the country for a fraud.

1222
00:59:10,838 --> 00:59:14,717
So either all Black        
         leaders are crooks,

1223
00:59:14,801 --> 00:59:17,595
or there's the playbook      
          to discredit us.

1224
00:59:17,679 --> 00:59:21,641
Sharpton is back in the news,   
     arrested for grand larceny.

1225
00:59:21,724 --> 00:59:22,934
[Reporter]:            
        Sharpton appeared in

1226
00:59:23,017 --> 00:59:23,893
Manhattan Criminal Court,

1227
00:59:23,977 --> 00:59:26,229
and with lawyer          
      Alton Maddox at his side,

1228
00:59:26,312 --> 00:59:27,689
heard the charges against him.

1229
00:59:27,772 --> 00:59:29,983
It's my induction into       
     the Activist Hall of Fame.

1230
00:59:30,066 --> 00:59:34,612
There was too much evidence    
        that they knew better

1231
00:59:34,696 --> 00:59:36,864
than what they were projecting.

1232
00:59:36,948 --> 00:59:39,158
They knew that           
      I started in Breadbasket.

1233
00:59:39,242 --> 00:59:41,119
They did articles on me.

1234
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:44,539
Cut that part out that

1235
00:59:44,622 --> 00:59:46,416
that he grew up in the       
     King movement in the north.

1236
00:59:46,499 --> 00:59:49,168
We will not sit by and watch    
     them shoot 14-year-old boys

1237
00:59:49,252 --> 00:59:50,670
in the streets any longer.

1238
00:59:50,753 --> 00:59:52,297
Start him mid '80s.

1239
00:59:52,380 --> 00:59:54,591
[Reporter]: Who is         
      this 33-year-old preacher

1240
00:59:54,674 --> 00:59:55,717
without a church?

1241
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,261
[Sharpton]:            
        They had to redo me.

1242
00:59:58,344 --> 01:00:00,972
This is just a guy conning.

1243
01:00:01,055 --> 01:00:03,182
You know, he was in show      
     business with James Brown.

1244
01:00:03,266 --> 01:00:05,727
This is just performance.

1245
01:00:05,810 --> 01:00:08,938
At first, I resented it.      
    But then I came to understand

1246
01:00:09,022 --> 01:00:11,357
that the people          
         writing the stories

1247
01:00:11,441 --> 01:00:14,444
was part of the          
       institutionalized bias

1248
01:00:14,527 --> 01:00:16,237
I was fighting.

1249
01:00:16,321 --> 01:00:17,655
[Male anchor]:           
      To most white New Yorkers

1250
01:00:17,739 --> 01:00:20,366
and a sizeable number of      
     Black New Yorkers as well,

1251
01:00:20,450 --> 01:00:22,493
he is little more than       
        a pudgy exhibitionist

1252
01:00:22,577 --> 01:00:25,496
who can be counted on to      
     show up, bullhorn in hand,

1253
01:00:25,580 --> 01:00:27,248
at every racial incident.

1254
01:00:27,332 --> 01:00:28,958
So who is Al Sharpton anyway?

1255
01:00:29,042 --> 01:00:32,503
[Sharpton] The objective was to 
                stop

1256
01:00:32,587 --> 01:00:35,673
raising the issue of race

1257
01:00:35,757 --> 01:00:37,884
because they were guilty.

1258
01:00:38,885 --> 01:00:42,764
They had made a          
        intentional decision

1259
01:00:42,847 --> 01:00:44,849
to protect the status quo,

1260
01:00:44,932 --> 01:00:48,686
'cause the status quo       
        was protecting them.

1261
01:00:53,399 --> 01:00:55,735
[chanting] Stop the rape!     
           Stop the lies!

1262
01:00:55,818 --> 01:00:58,029
Women of color on the rise!

1263
01:00:58,112 --> 01:00:59,197
Stop your rape!

1264
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,323
Stop your lies!

1265
01:01:00,406 --> 01:01:03,076
Women of color on the rise!

1266
01:01:03,534 --> 01:01:05,411
Good afternoon, everybody.

1267
01:01:05,495 --> 01:01:06,788
I'm really glad to be here.

1268
01:01:06,871 --> 01:01:09,832
I'm here because, like       
     all of you, I'm pissed off

1269
01:01:09,916 --> 01:01:13,378
and I'm mad as hell at       
   what's happening to our people,

1270
01:01:13,461 --> 01:01:15,505
to our women, and         
           to our leaders.

1271
01:01:15,588 --> 01:01:20,551
So this is in support       
        of our Black sister,

1272
01:01:20,635 --> 01:01:21,594
Tawana Brawley.

1273
01:01:21,678 --> 01:01:26,724
[cheers and applause]

1274
01:01:40,196 --> 01:01:44,033
[applause]

1275
01:02:06,264 --> 01:02:08,766
[applause]

1276
01:02:08,850 --> 01:02:10,768
They're gonna continue       
       taking advantage of her

1277
01:02:10,852 --> 01:02:12,562
'cause she's Black.

1278
01:02:12,645 --> 01:02:13,938
Since the people are white,

1279
01:02:14,021 --> 01:02:16,774
they're dealing with the      
       political campaigning,

1280
01:02:16,858 --> 01:02:18,943
they're gonna pay         
          the white judge,

1281
01:02:19,026 --> 01:02:21,863
and the white judge is       
      gonna throw the case out.

1282
01:02:21,946 --> 01:02:23,865
But as long as we're        
       here to fight for her,

1283
01:02:23,948 --> 01:02:25,950
it will not be thrown out.

1284
01:02:26,033 --> 01:02:27,535
[Reporter]: Last          
      November, Tawana Brawley

1285
01:02:27,618 --> 01:02:29,746
was found dumped along       
     a road in Dutchess County.

1286
01:02:29,829 --> 01:02:32,039
She was wrapped in a        
     feces-covered plastic bag.

1287
01:02:32,123 --> 01:02:34,208
Racial slurs were         
        scrawled on her body.

1288
01:02:34,292 --> 01:02:37,044
Her family claims that she     
    was abducted by six white men

1289
01:02:37,128 --> 01:02:39,714
and sexually abused        
           for four days.

1290
01:02:39,797 --> 01:02:41,382
One of the men           
      purportedly claimed to be

1291
01:02:41,466 --> 01:02:43,259
a law enforcement officer.

1292
01:02:43,342 --> 01:02:44,844
It was a cop.

1293
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:47,305
[Reporter]:            
      He was a police officer?

1294
01:02:47,388 --> 01:02:48,681
Showed me his badge.

1295
01:02:48,765 --> 01:02:51,392
[Sharpton]: My position      
        on the Brawley case,

1296
01:02:51,476 --> 01:02:52,852
which was always distorted,

1297
01:02:52,935 --> 01:02:58,483
was that this is a young lady   
       who made an accusation.

1298
01:02:58,566 --> 01:03:00,526
So she deserved a day in court.

1299
01:03:00,610 --> 01:03:01,944
And we promise this family

1300
01:03:02,028 --> 01:03:04,238
that we'll fight until       
         hell freezes over.

1301
01:03:04,322 --> 01:03:07,658
to get a special prosecutor    
      to go into the courtroom

1302
01:03:07,742 --> 01:03:09,577
and bring justice         
         to Tawana Brawley.

1303
01:03:09,660 --> 01:03:12,079
The case is plain.         
    We need a special prosecutor.

1304
01:03:12,163 --> 01:03:15,082
And that the attorney       
             general is

1305
01:03:15,166 --> 01:03:17,293
is the appropriate         
         person to appoint.

1306
01:03:17,376 --> 01:03:22,673
Tawana, I know you have gone    
   through a traumatic experience.

1307
01:03:22,757 --> 01:03:25,718
I and my colleagues        
        are here to help you.

1308
01:03:25,802 --> 01:03:27,303
[Sharpton]: The had the      
       state attorney general

1309
01:03:27,386 --> 01:03:31,808
become the prosecutor, who     
    I felt was playing politics.

1310
01:03:31,891 --> 01:03:33,017
And at the same time,

1311
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:35,770
he announced he was        
        going to investigate

1312
01:03:35,853 --> 01:03:37,730
the funds of National       
           Youth Movement.

1313
01:03:37,814 --> 01:03:39,106
So I knew that playbook.

1314
01:03:39,190 --> 01:03:41,818
Like they went at         
         Dr. King's charity.

1315
01:03:41,901 --> 01:03:44,737
Mr. Abrams says he has leads.

1316
01:03:44,821 --> 01:03:46,072
He's made no arrest.

1317
01:03:46,155 --> 01:03:48,574
He's acting as if         
         only Tawana Brawley

1318
01:03:48,658 --> 01:03:50,910
can give him the evidence     
       he needs for an arrest.

1319
01:03:50,993 --> 01:03:52,870
[Reporter]: The family       
        refuses to cooperate,

1320
01:03:52,954 --> 01:03:56,165
saying the authorities are     
   only interested in a cover-up.

1321
01:03:56,249 --> 01:04:00,586
I will not give in to       
    requests for a new prosecutor

1322
01:04:00,670 --> 01:04:02,129
because somebody's         
        unhappy with Abrams.

1323
01:04:02,213 --> 01:04:04,757
He's the best, as far as      
   I'm concerned, and that's that.

1324
01:04:04,841 --> 01:04:08,469
You can scream, shout, protest, 
     lay on the railroad tracks,

1325
01:04:08,553 --> 01:04:09,887
it won't make any difference.

1326
01:04:09,971 --> 01:04:11,472
The story and the controversy   
     surrounding Tawana Brawley

1327
01:04:11,556 --> 01:04:12,890
gets more and more curious.

1328
01:04:12,974 --> 01:04:15,601
There was a television report   
    last night that she's lying.

1329
01:04:15,685 --> 01:04:16,853
[Sharpton]: It's          
         easy to play back,

1330
01:04:16,936 --> 01:04:18,271
oh, Brawley was this or that,

1331
01:04:18,354 --> 01:04:20,940
but nobody ever stops to say,   
         well, first of all,

1332
01:04:21,023 --> 01:04:24,735
if two prominent          
      attorneys told the story,

1333
01:04:24,819 --> 01:04:25,903
mother backed it up,

1334
01:04:25,987 --> 01:04:28,489
and the guy prosecuting      
              the case

1335
01:04:28,573 --> 01:04:30,157
is a guy that           
       also is after Sharpton,

1336
01:04:30,241 --> 01:04:34,704
why wouldn't Sharpton believe   
      her and not believe him?

1337
01:04:34,787 --> 01:04:36,330
Oh, I got it.

1338
01:04:36,414 --> 01:04:38,374
All young Black girls lie.

1339
01:04:38,457 --> 01:04:39,500
Just make it up.

1340
01:04:39,584 --> 01:04:40,960
Tawana Brawley's          
      kidnapping and rape case

1341
01:04:41,043 --> 01:04:42,962
has been mysterious        
           from the start.

1342
01:04:43,045 --> 01:04:45,590
Just like Michael         
         Griffith and them.

1343
01:04:45,673 --> 01:04:46,799
They said they was lying.

1344
01:04:46,883 --> 01:04:48,175
Television station         
         reported witnesses

1345
01:04:48,259 --> 01:04:50,511
had placed the Black        
         teenager at a party

1346
01:04:50,595 --> 01:04:52,013
and accompanied          
        reputed drug dealers

1347
01:04:52,096 --> 01:04:53,890
at the time she said        
         she was kidnapped.

1348
01:04:53,973 --> 01:04:58,019
There has been a continuing    
          journalistic rape

1349
01:04:58,102 --> 01:05:00,897
of Tawana Brawley by        
      the establishment media.

1350
01:05:00,980 --> 01:05:02,106
The Brawley case          
         has been marked by

1351
01:05:02,189 --> 01:05:03,566
one strange twist         
           after another.

1352
01:05:03,649 --> 01:05:05,610
The continuing theatrics      
         often overshadowed

1353
01:05:05,693 --> 01:05:06,903
the alleged crime itself.

1354
01:05:06,986 --> 01:05:08,070
[Reporter]:            
          Sharpton dropped

1355
01:05:08,154 --> 01:05:09,739
another questionable bombshell.

1356
01:05:09,822 --> 01:05:11,240
The Reverend Al Sharpton      
               charged

1357
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:14,243
that a group linked to the Irish 
    Republican Army is involved.

1358
01:05:14,327 --> 01:05:16,245
It's almost as if the       
         lawyers themselves

1359
01:05:16,329 --> 01:05:19,624
are saying the facts in this    
    case don't matter that much,

1360
01:05:19,707 --> 01:05:21,709
because the general        
        proposition is true,

1361
01:05:21,792 --> 01:05:24,086
that there's            
      institutionalized racism

1362
01:05:24,170 --> 01:05:25,671
in the criminal justice system.

1363
01:05:25,755 --> 01:05:27,340
Every time we seem to be      
    getting closer to the answers

1364
01:05:27,423 --> 01:05:30,551
in the Tawana Brawley case,    
   there are a lot more questions.

1365
01:05:30,635 --> 01:05:32,261
The question of did        
          I believe Brawley

1366
01:05:32,345 --> 01:05:34,221
is like asking me do I       
      believe Michael Griffith

1367
01:05:34,305 --> 01:05:36,933
was breaking in the house     
     that night in Howard Beach.

1368
01:05:37,016 --> 01:05:39,769
I didn't go do an investigation 
       on either one of them.

1369
01:05:39,936 --> 01:05:42,647
There's enough           
        prima facie evidence

1370
01:05:42,730 --> 01:05:44,565
to go to court on this.

1371
01:05:44,732 --> 01:05:46,317
And that-- guess what?--

1372
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,612
is what all cases in        
         this country go by.

1373
01:05:49,695 --> 01:05:51,781
Why is it different for us?

1374
01:05:51,864 --> 01:05:54,617
My daughter was attacked      
      by some white officials.

1375
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:57,119
I have named them.         
         She has named them.

1376
01:05:57,203 --> 01:05:59,914
Why don't you get your people   
       there to pick them up?

1377
01:05:59,997 --> 01:06:02,416
[Mario Cuomo]: Tawana Brawley   
        I see as my daughter.

1378
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:05,544
We want a chance to prove     
     that she will be protected.

1379
01:06:05,628 --> 01:06:07,046
And we will all be protected

1380
01:06:07,129 --> 01:06:08,798
in the protecting         
         of Tawana Brawley.

1381
01:06:08,881 --> 01:06:11,968
To do that, she has        
        to cooperate with us.

1382
01:06:12,051 --> 01:06:15,346
The Brawley case was        
   sandwiched between Howard Beach

1383
01:06:15,429 --> 01:06:16,597
and Central Park 5,

1384
01:06:16,681 --> 01:06:18,140
and we were fighting        
            all of them.

1385
01:06:18,224 --> 01:06:21,102
More than 30 boys in New York   
    City went wilding last week,

1386
01:06:21,185 --> 01:06:23,104
and now eight of          
          them are in jail,

1387
01:06:23,187 --> 01:06:24,480
charged with several attacks,

1388
01:06:24,563 --> 01:06:27,358
including an especially      
    brutal one on a young woman.

1389
01:06:27,441 --> 01:06:32,947
[Sharpton]: No victim identified 
   the five boys at Central Park.

1390
01:06:33,364 --> 01:06:35,992
And Brawley, she          
        made identification.

1391
01:06:36,075 --> 01:06:38,953
We are not going          
          to let this girl

1392
01:06:39,036 --> 01:06:42,039
be the scapegoat of        
          a corrupt system!

1393
01:06:42,123 --> 01:06:43,916
Mason and Maddox          
          have obligations

1394
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,793
as officers of the court,

1395
01:06:45,876 --> 01:06:49,839
as well as attorneys        
         to Tawana Brawley.

1396
01:06:49,922 --> 01:06:51,298
They have an obligation      
           to the system.

1397
01:06:51,382 --> 01:06:54,010
They are representing       
        their own interests.

1398
01:06:54,093 --> 01:06:57,179
They obviously have        
         a political agenda.

1399
01:06:57,263 --> 01:07:00,683
If he serves a subpoena      
          on Tawana Brawley

1400
01:07:00,766 --> 01:07:02,518
or any member of her family,

1401
01:07:02,601 --> 01:07:04,270
we are prepared to be present

1402
01:07:04,353 --> 01:07:06,272
to block the serving        
          of that subpoena.

1403
01:07:06,355 --> 01:07:08,858
They will not appear in      
       front of a grand jury.

1404

And she saw what was        
     happening, it wasn't right.

1542
01:15:29,358 --> 01:15:31,985
So she pulled out her phone.

1543
01:15:32,069 --> 01:15:35,739
[somber music]

1544
01:15:43,747 --> 01:15:46,625
[camera shutters clicking]

1545
01:16:06,687 --> 01:16:12,401
I want us to not sit here

1546
01:16:12,484 --> 01:16:16,363
and act like we had

1547
01:16:16,446 --> 01:16:19,157
a funeral on the schedule.

1548
01:16:19,658 --> 01:16:21,034
[Woman]: That's right,       
            that's right.

1549
01:16:21,118 --> 01:16:22,911
[Man]: Right.

1550
01:16:23,412 --> 01:16:28,584
George Floyd should not be

1551
01:16:28,667 --> 01:16:30,043
among the deceased.

1552
01:16:30,210 --> 01:16:32,588
[mourners affirming]

1553
01:16:32,671 --> 01:16:38,802
[Sharpton]: He did not die     
    of common health conditions.

1554
01:16:39,511 --> 01:16:45,475
He died of a common American    
    criminal justice malfunction.

1555
01:16:45,559 --> 01:16:47,769
[mourners affirming,        
              clapping]

1556
01:16:47,853 --> 01:16:49,813
[Sharpton]:            
     One of the things, Martin,

1557
01:16:49,896 --> 01:16:53,025
that I've always had to      
             deal with,

1558
01:16:53,108 --> 01:16:54,276
as critics would say,

1559
01:16:54,359 --> 01:16:57,863
"All Al Sharpton wants       
           is publicity."

1560
01:16:57,946 --> 01:17:00,449
Well, that's            
        exactly what I want.

1561
01:17:00,532 --> 01:17:03,160
'Cause nobody calls        
        me to keep a secret.

1562
01:17:03,243 --> 01:17:07,205
[applause]

1563
01:17:07,289 --> 01:17:12,169
People call me to blow       
              up issues

1564
01:17:12,252 --> 01:17:14,046
that nobody else          
          would deal with,

1565
01:17:14,129 --> 01:17:18,508
'cause I'm the blow up man,    
   and I don't apologize for that.

1566
01:17:18,592 --> 01:17:22,220
[applause]

1567
01:17:23,430 --> 01:17:26,224
[Sharpton]:            
        George Floyd's story

1568
01:17:26,308 --> 01:17:28,894
has been the story         
           of Black folks,

1569
01:17:28,977 --> 01:17:34,274
because ever since         
           401 years ago,

1570
01:17:34,358 --> 01:17:36,735
the reason we could never be

1571
01:17:36,818 --> 01:17:39,821
who we wanted           
        and dreamed of being

1572
01:17:39,905 --> 01:17:42,407
is you kept your          
          knee on our neck.

1573
01:17:42,491 --> 01:17:46,411
[cheers and applause]

1574
01:17:52,668 --> 01:17:55,796
[Sharpton]: What happened     
     to Floyd happens every day

1575
01:17:55,879 --> 01:18:00,550
in this country in education,   
         in health services,

1576
01:18:00,634 --> 01:18:04,012
and in every area         
          of American life.

1577
01:18:04,096 --> 01:18:08,642
It's time for us to        
      stand up in George's name

1578
01:18:08,725 --> 01:18:12,270
and say, get your         
         knee off our necks!

1579
01:18:12,354 --> 01:18:14,356
[cheers and applause]

1580
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:16,400
[Sharpton]: We don't        
           want no favors!

1581
01:18:16,483 --> 01:18:18,485
Just get up off of us!

1582
01:18:18,568 --> 01:18:22,781
And we can be and do        
         whatever we can be.

1583
01:18:22,864 --> 01:18:27,244
[enthusiastic cheers        
            and applause]

1584
01:18:29,246 --> 01:18:33,291
[string music]

1585
01:18:40,966 --> 01:18:44,010
[Sharpton]: As a minister, I    
   have to look at the providence

1586
01:18:44,094 --> 01:18:46,638
of in the middle of        
         a nation lockdown,

1587
01:18:46,722 --> 01:18:49,641
George Floyd happens,       
       Breonna Taylor happens,

1588
01:18:49,725 --> 01:18:50,851
Ahmaud Arbery happens,

1589
01:18:50,934 --> 01:18:53,019
all within the           
         same span of time.

1590
01:18:53,145 --> 01:18:54,980
And all while everybody      
           was locked down

1591
01:18:55,063 --> 01:19:00,277
and had to watch the news     
    over and over and over again.

1592
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:04,573
And it's our job to come out    
 this other side of this pandemic

1593
01:19:04,656 --> 01:19:06,867
different than when we went in.

1594
01:19:06,950 --> 01:19:10,954
But I'm more hopeful        
          today than ever.

1595
01:19:11,037 --> 01:19:12,581
Why?                
        Well, let me go back.

1596
01:19:12,664 --> 01:19:15,625
Reverend Jackson always      
    taught me, stay on your text.

1597
01:19:15,709 --> 01:19:18,587
Go back to my text,        
            Ecclesiastes.

1598
01:19:18,670 --> 01:19:22,674
There is a time and a season.

1599
01:19:22,758 --> 01:19:25,010
And when I looked this time

1600
01:19:25,093 --> 01:19:29,139
and saw marches          
        where in some cases,

1601
01:19:29,222 --> 01:19:33,643
young whites outnumbered      
        the Blacks marching,

1602
01:19:33,727 --> 01:19:38,690
I know that it's a different    
    time and a different season.

1603
01:19:38,774 --> 01:19:42,194
When I looked and         
        saw people in Germany

1604
01:19:42,277 --> 01:19:44,029
marching for George Floyd,

1605
01:19:44,112 --> 01:19:47,699
it's a different time       
       and a different season.

1606
01:19:47,783 --> 01:19:51,995
When they went in front of the   
   parliament in London, England,

1607
01:19:52,078 --> 01:19:56,708
and said it's a different     
    time and a different season,

1608
01:19:56,792 --> 01:19:59,085
we need to go back to       
             Washington

1609
01:19:59,169 --> 01:20:03,924
and stand up in the shadows    
      of Lincoln and tell them,

1610
01:20:04,007 --> 01:20:08,637
this is the time of        
     dealing with accountability

1611
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:11,097
in the criminal justice system.

1612
01:20:11,181 --> 01:20:13,517
[applause]

1613
01:20:16,186 --> 01:20:18,688
[Woman]: I'd like to ask      
        Reverend Al Sharpton,

1614
01:20:18,772 --> 01:20:21,191
what is the purpose        
         of a family advisor

1615
01:20:21,274 --> 01:20:22,567
compared to a lawyer?

1616
01:20:22,651 --> 01:20:26,321
The lawyer is handling the     
       legal part of the case.

1617
01:20:26,404 --> 01:20:29,950
I am advising them as a minister 
    and as a community activist,

1618
01:20:30,033 --> 01:20:31,952
as we feel that has        
         racial overtones--

1619
01:20:32,035 --> 01:20:33,995
[Bey]: But it's not        
       your community, is it?

1620
01:20:34,079 --> 01:20:35,872
Well, what is my community?

1621
01:20:35,956 --> 01:20:37,207
[Bey]: You tell me.

1622
01:20:37,290 --> 01:20:38,542
Martin Luther King         
    marched all over the country.

1623
01:20:38,625 --> 01:20:39,835
Wasn't his community.

1624
01:20:39,918 --> 01:20:41,127
I mean, I mean, what        
      kind of question is that?

1625
01:20:41,211 --> 01:20:42,671
[Bey]: Well, is          
         that what you are?

1626
01:20:42,754 --> 01:20:43,922
You're now a national       
            Black leader?

1627
01:20:44,005 --> 01:20:45,131
Is that what you are?

1628
01:20:45,215 --> 01:20:46,758
[Sharpton]: No, I         
        am a family advisor.

1629
01:20:46,842 --> 01:20:48,593
I mean, which question       
      do you want me to answer?

1630
01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:51,763
I am an activist fighting     
     injustice where I find it.

1631
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:55,016
[Bey]: You're Superman.      
   You go all over the world or--

1632
01:20:55,100 --> 01:20:57,853
[Sharpton]: I've seen other    
    people on your show, Richard,

1633
01:20:57,936 --> 01:20:59,938
like, uh...that          
          have been active,

1634
01:21:00,021 --> 01:21:01,064
and they weren't asked that.

1635
01:21:01,147 --> 01:21:02,941
I mean,              
      no one asks Curtis Sliwa

1636
01:21:03,024 --> 01:21:04,818
why does he have Guardian     
          Angels everywhere

1637
01:21:04,901 --> 01:21:06,319
when he lives in one community?

1638
01:21:06,403 --> 01:21:07,654
I mean, that's ridiculous!

1639
01:21:07,737 --> 01:21:08,864
[Bey]: But there's         
       some people that think

1640
01:21:08,947 --> 01:21:10,115
that you'll just look at a case

1641
01:21:10,198 --> 01:21:11,867
that you think might        
          be controversial,

1642
01:21:11,950 --> 01:21:13,618
you'll look at a case that     
   might be able to get headlines.

1643
01:21:13,702 --> 01:21:14,995
You might be able to make     
       something out of a case

1644
01:21:15,078 --> 01:21:16,288
to make a name for yourself.

1645
01:21:16,371 --> 01:21:18,915
We were all involved in      
       the Howard Beach case.

1646
01:21:18,999 --> 01:21:22,878
And Reverend Sharpton--      
        I did not know this.

1647
01:21:22,961 --> 01:21:26,298
Ms. Griffith told me this     
       about November of '77.

1648
01:21:26,381 --> 01:21:30,093
This was some nearly 11 months   
   after her son had been killed.

1649
01:21:30,176 --> 01:21:35,265
She indicated to me that      
     there was one man who had,

1650
01:21:35,348 --> 01:21:40,186
on a daily basis, called      
      her, or come to see her,

1651
01:21:40,270 --> 01:21:42,606
or asked her if she        
          needed something.

1652
01:21:42,689 --> 01:21:44,774
And this didn't ever        
        get in the headlines.

1653
01:21:44,858 --> 01:21:47,235
This person never called      
        any press conferences

1654
01:21:47,319 --> 01:21:50,697
when he made those         
     contacts with that family.

1655
01:21:50,780 --> 01:21:52,699
That person was          
        Reverend Al Sharpton.

1656
01:21:52,782 --> 01:21:55,243
The reality of it is, is      
    that there's a lot of things

1657
01:21:55,327 --> 01:21:58,580
that Reverend Sharpton       
       do for a lot of victims

1658
01:21:58,663 --> 01:22:01,458
that people never knew about.

1659
01:22:01,541 --> 01:22:03,043
He counseled the          
          Griffith family.

1660
01:22:03,126 --> 01:22:04,502
He counseled other victims.

1661
01:22:04,586 --> 01:22:08,673
And he's doing a great job with 
   respect to the Brawley family.

1662

1664
01:22:31,655 --> 01:22:33,823
Back up, back up.

1665
01:22:34,449 --> 01:22:36,201
-[Man]: What do we need?      
       -[Crowd]: A Black army!

1666
01:22:36,284 --> 01:22:41,748
-[Man]: What do we need?      
       -[Crowd]: A Black army!

1667
01:22:42,374 --> 01:22:45,877
[Sharpton]: Ms. Brawley will    
       not attend this hearing

1668
01:22:45,961 --> 01:22:48,630
unless the members         
          of the community

1669
01:22:48,713 --> 01:22:50,548
are allowed to go in with her.

1670
01:22:50,632 --> 01:22:52,175
[Man]: Right, right.

1671
01:22:52,258 --> 01:22:55,136
[Sharpton]: We have the      
     right to a public hearing.

1672
01:22:55,220 --> 01:22:58,682
We will not allow Glenda      
       to be disenfranchised.

1673
01:22:58,765 --> 01:23:03,019
We have come prepared       
       to give our show cause.

1674
01:23:03,103 --> 01:23:04,771
We will do it at          
          a public hearing.

1675
01:23:04,854 --> 01:23:07,565
We will not do it in        
         a private setting.

1676
01:23:07,649 --> 01:23:08,858
So we will stand here.

1677
01:23:08,942 --> 01:23:10,485
If the lawyers cannot       
         open the courtroom,

1678
01:23:10,568 --> 01:23:15,281
we will be leaving and holding   
       this court in contempt.

1679
01:23:15,573 --> 01:23:18,201
You sure you don't want to     
     bring your client up here?

1680
01:23:18,284 --> 01:23:20,370
Judge, my client already      
      knew the outcome of this.

1681
01:23:20,453 --> 01:23:24,833
She had no confidence in      
      the judicial system here.

1682
01:23:24,916 --> 01:23:27,627
Black people in this        
      state have no confidence.

1683
01:23:27,711 --> 01:23:29,546
[Judge]: Is that their defense?

1684
01:23:29,629 --> 01:23:30,964
--to the judiciary.

1685
01:23:31,047 --> 01:23:32,465
[Judge]: Let me ask        
          you, Mr. Maddox.

1686
01:23:32,549 --> 01:23:35,760
And I'm pretty sure Mr. Abrams   
      will ask for his 30 days.

1687
01:23:35,844 --> 01:23:38,680
That's the maximum         
          allowed by law--

1688
01:23:38,763 --> 01:23:39,973
[Judge]: Mister--Mr. Maddox.

1689
01:23:40,056 --> 01:23:41,307
--right now, we can all leave.

1690
01:23:41,391 --> 01:23:44,519
[Judge]: Mr. Maddox,        
        is it your defense--

1691
01:23:44,602 --> 01:23:45,645
[Maddox]: I have no defense.

1692
01:23:45,729 --> 01:23:47,105
Is it the defense in this case

1693
01:23:47,188 --> 01:23:50,025
that Black people         
       cannot receive justice?

1694
01:23:50,108 --> 01:23:52,402
[Maddox]: Yes.

1695
01:23:52,485 --> 01:23:55,071
That's your defense        
         to this motion to--

1696
01:23:55,155 --> 01:23:56,781
[Maddox]: Yes, absolutely.

1697
01:23:56,865 --> 01:24:00,785
Do you wish to be heard?

1698
01:24:01,953 --> 01:24:03,830
[Mason]: He agrees with us.

1699
01:24:03,913 --> 01:24:05,165
[Maddox]: He agrees with it.

1700
01:24:05,248 --> 01:24:07,208
-[Judge]: Pardon me?        
    -[Maddox]: He agrees with it.

1701
01:24:07,292 --> 01:24:08,877
[Judge]: Agrees          
        with that statement?

1702
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,964
-I doubt that.           
   -[Maddox]: I'm hoping he does.

1703
01:24:13,048 --> 01:24:14,382
[Judge]:              
       Who made the statement?

1704
01:24:14,466 --> 01:24:16,342
Mr. Ryan, do you          
       agree that Black people

1705
01:24:16,426 --> 01:24:18,845
can't receive justice       
           in this state?

1706
01:24:18,928 --> 01:24:20,472
No, I do not.

1707
01:24:20,722 --> 01:24:22,640
[Judge]: The moving        
          papers before me

1708
01:24:22,724 --> 01:24:24,434
have raised no factual issue.

1709
01:24:24,517 --> 01:24:28,438
All that the defense has raised 
   have been political in nature,

1710
01:24:28,521 --> 01:24:32,859
and might very well be raised   
    in another form and not here.

1711
01:24:32,984 --> 01:24:35,820
Glenda Brawley's in        
   criminal contempt of this court

1712
01:24:35,904 --> 01:24:38,156
and is sentenced and        
    committed to the county jail

1713
01:24:38,239 --> 01:24:41,659
for a period of 30 days.

1714
01:24:43,870 --> 01:24:46,956
We will be seeking         
      religious asylum for her.

1715
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,877
We challenge Bob Abrams      
       to come into the church

1716
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:52,420
and do what he's got to do.

1717
01:24:52,504 --> 01:24:57,300
We're going to force you to show 
   the world how beastly you are.

1718
01:24:57,884 --> 01:25:00,470
-Hi, Bob.             
            -Hi, hi, hi.

1719
01:25:00,553 --> 01:25:03,765
The advisors of Ms. Brawley    
       have apparently set up

1720
01:25:03,848 --> 01:25:06,518
a staged circumstance today,

1721
01:25:06,601 --> 01:25:10,814
and I've advised the sheriff    
     not to bite at their bait.

1722
01:25:10,897 --> 01:25:13,399
A media circus has been staged.

1723
01:25:13,483 --> 01:25:18,655
[shouting]

1724
01:25:20,031 --> 01:25:22,325
No justice, no peace!

1725
01:25:22,992 --> 01:25:24,452
-When do we want it?        
           -[Crowd]: Now!

1726
01:25:24,536 --> 01:25:26,287
-What do you want?         
         -[Crowd]: Justice!

1727
01:25:26,371 --> 01:25:27,956
-When do you want it?       
           -[Crowd]: Now!

1728
01:25:28,039 --> 01:25:29,916
-When do you want it?       
           -[Crowd]: Now!

1729
01:25:29,999 --> 01:25:31,000
[applause]

1730
01:25:31,084 --> 01:25:32,293
[Man]: WLIB Radio         
          in New York City.

1731
01:25:32,377 --> 01:25:34,170
It's Monday, June 27, 1988.

1732
01:25:34,254 --> 01:25:36,339
Good morning and greetings     
         to the WLIB family.

1733
01:25:36,464 --> 01:25:39,801
Anyone that understands      
      the history of our people

1734
01:25:39,884 --> 01:25:42,971
understand that any        
       time you start shaking

1735
01:25:43,054 --> 01:25:45,890
the root of this system,      
       then you're gonna have

1736
01:25:45,974 --> 01:25:49,018
a discredit campaign.       
    And what we've seen is that.

1737
01:25:49,102 --> 01:25:51,271
This is the largest crowd

1738
01:25:51,354 --> 01:25:53,815
that we have ever had       
             at Bethany.

1739
01:25:53,898 --> 01:25:55,775
Give yourselves          
              applause.

1740
01:25:55,859 --> 01:25:57,277
[applause]

1741
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,904
[Maddox]: Every time        
       that there's a report,

1742
01:25:59,988 --> 01:26:02,282
it attracts a large        
           white audience.

1743
01:26:02,365 --> 01:26:04,367
It's like seeing a         
         lynching, you know?

1744
01:26:04,450 --> 01:26:07,662
"I'm getting ready to see     
      these Black men lynched.

1745
01:26:07,745 --> 01:26:10,748
This is something I want to do. 
     I have a thirst for this."

1746
01:26:10,832 --> 01:26:15,712
And TV is satisfying        
            that thirst.

1747
01:26:18,089 --> 01:26:20,508
Wait, wait, wait.

1748
01:26:24,929 --> 01:26:26,472
Everybody that is on this list

1749
01:26:26,556 --> 01:26:30,226
has signed in from         
        a news media station

1750
01:26:30,310 --> 01:26:32,145
that thinks that          
         they can attack us

1751
01:26:32,228 --> 01:26:35,815
and we cannot answer them     
      by name have walked out.

1752
01:26:35,899 --> 01:26:37,108
I'll turn this over        
            to the army.

1753
01:26:37,192 --> 01:26:38,359
They will never be allowed

1754
01:26:38,443 --> 01:26:40,904
in a press conference       
          or rally of ours.

1755
01:26:40,987 --> 01:26:42,280
[cheers and applause]

1756
01:26:42,363 --> 01:26:45,325
The very strident, militant,    
       confrontational policy

1757
01:26:45,408 --> 01:26:48,953
that you've taken in terms of   
 dealing with the justice system,

1758
01:26:49,037 --> 01:26:51,497
uh, and the fact that       
        there has been, what?

1759
01:26:51,581 --> 01:26:54,542
At least four incidents      
         of racist violence

1760
01:26:54,626 --> 01:26:57,295
in this town over the       
       last four or five days

1761
01:26:57,378 --> 01:26:58,546
are somehow linked.

1762
01:26:58,630 --> 01:27:02,342
There are people in        
        this town, of color,

1763
01:27:02,425 --> 01:27:05,595
who are more concerned       
        about white feelings

1764
01:27:05,678 --> 01:27:09,015
than they are about        
        Black lives, you see?

1765
01:27:09,098 --> 01:27:14,145
And so they should be       
     happy that all we're doing

1766
01:27:14,229 --> 01:27:17,398
is to insist and demand      
              justice.

1767
01:27:17,482 --> 01:27:20,026
[Maddox]: The one thing that    
    the white man has always done

1768
01:27:20,109 --> 01:27:22,987
and the one thing         
     that he will never change,

1769
01:27:23,071 --> 01:27:27,116
he will always give you      
              a signal

1770
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:32,121
as to who he fears and       
       who you should follow.

1771
01:27:32,705 --> 01:27:37,961
But there are some of us      
   who watch out for his signals.

1772
01:27:38,044 --> 01:27:40,380
We ignore what he says,

1773
01:27:40,463 --> 01:27:44,634
because the Native American    
       told us many years ago

1774
01:27:44,717 --> 01:27:48,221
that the white man speaks     
        with a forked tongue.

1775
01:27:48,304 --> 01:27:52,350
[applause]

1776
01:27:52,433 --> 01:27:56,145
If we did not have         
        radio station WLIB--

1777
01:27:56,229 --> 01:27:57,897
-[DJ]: That's right.        
         -Where would we go?

1778
01:27:57,981 --> 01:28:00,233
People are gonna say, "Well,    
        you're talking about        
            separatism."

1779
01:28:00,316 --> 01:28:03,695
I don't care what         
         they call it, see?

1780
01:28:03,778 --> 01:28:05,113
White folks are crazy.

1781
01:28:05,196 --> 01:28:10,660
We know what the white man     
    did with the Native American.

1782
01:28:11,411 --> 01:28:17,625
Now the white man is calling    
    himself the native American.

1783
01:28:19,127 --> 01:28:24,549
White people will rewrite     
        history in your face.

1784
01:28:24,632 --> 01:28:26,426
[applause]

1785
01:28:26,509 --> 01:28:28,761
[Sharpton]:            
        We're tired of this!

1786
01:28:28,845 --> 01:28:30,305
Enough is enough!

1787
01:28:30,388 --> 01:28:32,390
Payback has come!

1788
01:28:32,473 --> 01:28:34,851
You now have the nerve,

1789
01:28:34,934 --> 01:28:36,352
after all we did for you,

1790
01:28:36,436 --> 01:28:40,356
to put your wicked         
       hands on our daughter!

1791
01:28:40,440 --> 01:28:43,860
You will pay for          
           Tawana Brawley!

1792
01:28:43,943 --> 01:28:46,738
You will pay for          
           Tawana Brawley!

1793
01:28:46,821 --> 01:28:49,407
[cheers and applause]

1794
01:28:50,408 --> 01:28:54,662
[somber music]

1795
01:29:01,627 --> 01:29:05,423
[Sharpton]: Later in life,     
      I became more conscious.

1796
01:29:05,923 --> 01:29:10,470
I saw Tawana, in many ways,

1797
01:29:10,553 --> 01:29:11,763
like the Black mother I had

1798
01:29:11,846 --> 01:29:17,143
that was fighting for       
       her kids, or my sister.

1799
01:29:17,226 --> 01:29:24,567
I saw in her a Black woman Black 
     men wouldn't stand up for.

1800
01:29:24,650 --> 01:29:29,405
And I wasn't gonna be the     
     one to walk away from her,

1801
01:29:29,489 --> 01:29:31,491
no matter how hard it got.

1802
01:29:31,574 --> 01:29:34,118
I just wasn't gonna do it.

1803
01:29:34,202 --> 01:29:35,787
Okay, that's close enough.

1804
01:29:35,870 --> 01:29:36,913
That's close enough.

1805
01:29:36,996 --> 01:29:38,456
I didn't tell you         
           all to do that.

1806
01:29:38,539 --> 01:29:43,044
[cheers and applause]

1807
01:29:44,212 --> 01:29:46,089
-No justice!            
         -[Crowd]: No peace!

1808
01:29:46,172 --> 01:29:47,965
-No justice!            
         -[Crowd]: No peace!

[cheers and applause]

1811
01:29:53,805 --> 01:29:58,017
[Sharpton]: To this day, I     
   don't know all of what happened

1812
01:29:58,101 --> 01:29:59,519
with Brawley.

1813
01:29:59,685 --> 01:30:02,230
But I know she           
         deserved the right

1814
01:30:02,313 --> 01:30:04,107
that everybody else deserved.

1815
01:30:04,190 --> 01:30:05,441

     it's better than any system

Nothing.

1843
01:31:07,712 --> 01:31:10,423
I'm saddened and angry       
   that we've come to this point,

1844
01:31:10,506 --> 01:31:13,384
where people would         
         use a young woman,

or use anyone in our community   
       for their own ambition.

      was on a show one night.

1850
01:31:29,233 --> 01:31:31,152
And a guy said to me,       
           "You done well.

You're doing all right now.

But I still disagree        
        with you on Brawley."

         you disagree with?

1854
01:31:37,533 --> 01:31:39,076
That they should've

"Well, I think she lied.

1856

And I think            
        the jury was right."

I said, "Let me ask        
          you a question."

1858
01:31:47,543 --> 01:31:48,669
He said, "Yeah?"

1859
01:31:48,753 --> 01:31:51,214
I said, "Do you think       
        OJ killed his wife?"

1860
01:31:51,297 --> 01:31:52,507
He said, "Absolutely."

1861

01:38:31,405 --> 01:38:34,450
but you still gotta put      
       pressure on the system.

1958
01:38:37,995 --> 01:38:39,914
[Reporter]:            
     Tulsa, Oklahoma bracing for

1959
01:38:39,997 --> 01:38:41,957
a possible             
      political storm tonight.

1960

[Reporter]: The city        
       expects 100,000 people

1961
01:38:44,251 --> 01:38:47,212
this weekend for President     
       Trump's campaign rally

1962
01:38:47,296 --> 01:38:49,882
and the city's           
       Juneteenth celebration.

1963
01:38:50,007 --> 01:38:51,383
[Reporter]: The          
        Reverend Al Sharpton

1964
01:38:51,467 --> 01:38:53,928
is expected to speak at      
     the Juneteenth celebration

1965
01:38:54,011 --> 01:38:55,262
in Tulsa tonight.

1966
01:38:55,346 --> 01:38:57,514
The city's mayor declared     
        a civil emergency...

1967
01:38:57,598 --> 01:38:59,475
[Sharpton]: Yeah.

1968
01:38:59,934 --> 01:39:01,560
You know how to do         
          Facetime, right?

1969
01:39:01,644 --> 01:39:05,064
Okay, yeah, we can do that.

1970
01:39:05,397 --> 01:39:06,982
[cheers and applause]

1971
01:39:07,066 --> 01:39:10,527
He said that he's done more    
         than any president

1972
01:39:10,611 --> 01:39:12,071
for Black people in the US.

1973
01:39:12,154 --> 01:39:14,531
What do you think of that?

1974
01:39:15,491 --> 01:39:19,203
Are you the opening act?      
    Are you the comedian tonight?

1975
01:39:19,787 --> 01:39:21,872
[Sharpton]: Mother Crutcher,    
         how are you doing?

1976
01:39:21,956 --> 01:39:24,708
Good to be seen, babe.

1977
01:39:24,792 --> 01:39:25,918
Thank you.

1978
01:39:26,001 --> 01:39:28,337
I told y'all I'd be        
      here when y'all need me.

1979
01:39:28,629 --> 01:39:33,300
[Woman]: Now, you need to move   
   yourself physically to the left

1980
01:39:33,384 --> 01:39:35,427
about an inch.

1981
01:39:35,803 --> 01:39:37,304
[News anchor]: So of course,    
      Trump is throwing it back

1982
01:39:37,388 --> 01:39:39,306
to the bad old days        
         on this Juneteenth

1983
01:39:39,390 --> 01:39:42,017
with another George        
        Wallace-style threat

1984
01:39:42,101 --> 01:39:44,937
to those who don't         
       support his reelection.

1985
01:39:45,020 --> 01:39:47,147
Rev, I wanna start with you.

1986
01:39:47,231 --> 01:39:49,149
What do you make of        
        that kind of language

1987
01:39:49,233 --> 01:39:53,487
coming out of the president of   
 the United States on Juneteenth?

1988
01:39:53,570 --> 01:39:56,115
I think that it is offensive.

1989
01:39:56,198 --> 01:39:58,367
I think that it is insulting.

1990
01:39:58,450 --> 01:40:00,494
[phone ringing]

1991
01:40:01,036 --> 01:40:05,040
Yeah, Mike, Chris did a      
    walkthrough with the police.

1992
01:40:05,124 --> 01:40:06,583
Yeah, I'm sorry--         
          I walked through

1993
01:40:06,667 --> 01:40:08,794
with two of the police       
              officers.

1994
01:40:08,877 --> 01:40:10,504
And it's a very open field.

1995
01:40:10,587 --> 01:40:15,718
There's not a lot of cover--    
     well you can see everybody.

1996
01:40:15,801 --> 01:40:17,011
So it's kind of open.

1997
01:40:17,094 --> 01:40:20,723
I don't believe--         
        It's a security risk.

1998
01:40:22,349 --> 01:40:26,562
[Michael Hardy]: So is the     
         concern a shooter?

1999
01:40:27,021 --> 01:40:28,230
I mean, it's--it's--

2000
01:40:28,313 --> 01:40:31,108
[Hardy]: Do you have a       
       recommendation, Chris?

2001
01:40:31,191 --> 01:40:34,445
Honestly...Rev shouldn't...

2002
01:40:34,528 --> 01:40:36,447
really shouldn't do this.

2003
01:40:36,530 --> 01:40:39,950
I don't believe it's        
     feasible with the climate,

2004
01:40:40,034 --> 01:40:42,411
with the reports          
         that we're getting

2005
01:40:42,494 --> 01:40:43,746
even from the officers of

2006
01:40:43,829 --> 01:40:46,081
the amount of people        
         that are out there.

2007
01:40:46,165 --> 01:40:49,376
I mean, I think, Hardy,      
      the best thing you can do

2008
01:40:49,460 --> 01:40:51,879
is let them secure         
        as much as they can.

2009
01:40:51,962 --> 01:40:54,548
I'm going to do it.        
        I don't, you know...

2010
01:40:54,631 --> 01:40:55,883
We get threats all the time.

2011
01:40:55,966 --> 01:40:56,925
[Hardy]: Right.

2012
01:40:57,009 --> 01:40:58,302
I'm not going to          
          not do the rally.

2013
01:40:58,385 --> 01:41:00,012

President of the

I love you.

01:41:29,458 --> 01:41:31,126
Sorry, baby.

    of 16-year-old Yusuf Hawkins

2029
01:41:35,172 --> 01:41:38,509
has had a chilling effect on    
     race relations in New York.

2030
01:41:38,592 --> 01:41:40,969
Hawkins was shot dead       
        after a confrontation

2031
01:41:41,053 --> 01:41:44,431
with a gang of whites in an    
   Italian-American neighborhood.

2032
01:41:44,515 --> 01:41:48,352
The peace seems to be getting   
     harder and harder to keep.

Kill 'em mother fucker,      
            we kill 'em!

2037
01:42:01,323 --> 01:42:02,866
This is all the media's fault!

2038
01:42:02,950 --> 01:42:05,160
The media should not        
     publicize this kind of crap

2039
01:42:05,244 --> 01:42:08,038
because they're all wanting    
   wars to start in another place.

2040
01:42:08,122 --> 01:42:10,499
These things should        
           be kept quiet.

2041
01:42:10,582 --> 01:42:12,167
Al Sharpton, go home!

              new tape.

2043

01:42:28,267 --> 01:42:31,186
[Woman]: Get an ambulance!

2049
01:42:32,688 --> 01:42:37,067
[Sharpton]: Until you face     
       what could be the end,

2050
01:42:37,151 --> 01:42:41,905
you guess what you would do if   
    you looked death in the face.

2051
01:42:42,656 --> 01:42:45,159
But it's different when you    
     think you're looking death

2052
01:42:45,242 --> 01:42:47,703
in the face, and death       
          is saying to you,

01:42:47,786 --> 01:42:49,621
"Now what you gonna do?"

Al Sharpton is in         
        the hospital tonight

2056
01:42:52,958 --> 01:42:54,501
with a stab wound to the chest.

2057
01:42:54,585 --> 01:42:56,378
Police say a white man       
      from the Bensonhurst area

2058
01:42:56,461 --> 01:42:59,047
attacked Sharpton as        
     he prepared to lead a march

01:42:59,131 --> 01:43:00,382
in that community.

2060
01:43:00,465 --> 01:43:02,217
They rushed him here to      
       Coney Island Hospital,

2061
01:43:02,301 --> 01:43:05,304
where doctors treated him for   
     a wound in the upper chest,

2062
01:43:05,387 --> 01:43:07,014
just below the collarbone.

2063
01:43:07,097 --> 01:43:09,349
The weapon?            
       A 5-inch kitchen knife.

2064
01:43:09,433 --> 01:43:12,019
[Sharpton]: It changed       
           me in two ways.

2065
01:43:12,102 --> 01:43:14,021
One way, it made me know

2066
01:43:14,104 --> 01:43:17,316
that I really was not gonna    
    stop no matter what they did.

2067
01:43:17,399 --> 01:43:19,067
[Reporter]: How do         
      you feel about the attack

2068
01:43:19,151 --> 01:43:21,403
and the guy who came out of    
     the crowd and attacked you?

2069
01:43:21,486 --> 01:43:25,699
Well, I think that he is      
         the personification

2070
01:43:25,782 --> 01:43:26,909
of a lot of hate,

2071
01:43:26,992 --> 01:43:29,328
and I don't have ill        
        feelings toward him.

2072
01:43:29,411 --> 01:43:32,122
I would much rather concentrate 
       on the justice system.

2073
01:43:32,206 --> 01:43:36,335
[Sharpton]: Second thing,     
   if I am going to die for this,

2074
01:43:36,418 --> 01:43:39,129
I want to change to society.

2075
01:43:39,213 --> 01:43:41,173
That means you've         
         got to change laws.

2077
01:43:45,260 --> 01:43:48,972
there seems to be         
         some divisiveness.

2078
01:43:49,056 --> 01:43:50,307
Are you calling for calm?

2079
01:43:50,390 --> 01:43:52,517
Are you supporting         
          the march today?

2080
01:43:52,601 --> 01:43:55,437
Oh, I'm absolutely         
          calling for calm.

2081
01:43:55,520 --> 01:44:00,525
Maddox was always more in the   
   nationalist, Malcolm tradition.

01:44:00,609 --> 01:44:04,655
[applause]

2083
01:44:04,863 --> 01:44:06,114
[Sharpton]: They          
          made a decision,

2084
01:44:06,198 --> 01:44:07,950
them three or four days      
       I was in the hospital,

2085
01:44:08,033 --> 01:44:09,493
that they were not gonna      
             let whites

2086
01:44:09,576 --> 01:44:14,248
attend the rallies         
     anymore like Slave Theater.

2087
01:44:14,331 --> 01:44:16,041
That's when I left.

2088
01:44:16,124 --> 01:44:18,502
Maddox understood I        
       was going another way.

2089
01:44:18,585 --> 01:44:24,341
We just saw our roles and     
     our traditions differently.

2090
01:44:26,051 --> 01:44:28,262
Vernon Mason went         
          to Harlem went me

2091
01:44:28,345 --> 01:44:31,473
and helped me start        
      National Action Network,

2092
01:44:31,556 --> 01:44:33,141
an organization          
          on the principles

2093
01:44:33,225 --> 01:44:34,601
of Martin Luther King.

2094
01:44:34,685 --> 01:44:39,564
We must not reduce ourselves    
   to, "If you don't do it my way,

2095
01:44:39,648 --> 01:44:41,400

01:44:41,483 --> 01:44:45,028
"If you ain't out here       
     with me, you ain't right."

2097
01:44:45,112 --> 01:44:47,948
Because all of us don't      
         need to be outside.

2098
01:44:48,031 --> 01:44:51,785
Somebody better be inside     
         helping us outside,

2099
01:44:51,868 --> 01:44:55,247
or we gonna be outside forever.

2100
01:44:55,330 --> 01:44:57,165
[Sharpton]: Mrs. Coretta Scott   
                King,

2101
01:44:57,249 --> 01:45:00,544
Martin Luther King's widow,    
   was the one that challenged me.

2102
01:45:00,627 --> 01:45:04,339
She says, "Al,           
           let me ask you,

2103
01:45:04,423 --> 01:45:06,758
why did you say 'so-and-so'    
         in this occasion?"

2104
01:45:06,842 --> 01:45:12,389
I will never bow down to one    
    of these chicken shit negroes

2105
01:45:12,472 --> 01:45:16,059
that y'all have elected      
      to one of these offices,

2106
01:45:16,143 --> 01:45:17,311
that have done nothing

2107
01:45:17,394 --> 01:45:19,771
but kiss crackers'         
       behinds all their life!

2108
01:45:19,855 --> 01:45:21,523
[applause]

2109
01:45:21,606 --> 01:45:24,609
[Sharpton]: And I'm trying     
      to explain and justify--

2110
01:45:24,693 --> 01:45:26,903
I mean, it was almost       
         like I'm in a court

2111
01:45:26,987 --> 01:45:28,530
being a defense attorney.

2112
01:45:28,613 --> 01:45:31,366
And I'm half shocked that     
       Mrs. Coretta Scott King

2113
01:45:31,450 --> 01:45:35,162
knows about all this stuff     
           I did and said.

2114
01:45:35,245 --> 01:45:37,164
And then she says,

2115
01:45:37,247 --> 01:45:40,167
"Al, you realize that       
         words have power?"

2116
01:45:40,250 --> 01:45:41,501
So as we rebuild the family,

2117
01:45:41,585 --> 01:45:45,297
know that what you         
        put in Black children

2118
01:45:45,380 --> 01:45:46,631
is what will grow in them.

2119
01:45:46,715 --> 01:45:49,217
[Sharpton]: "So you oughta     
       be careful with that."

2120
01:45:49,301 --> 01:45:54,431
She says, "You can         
       either go for the crown

2121
01:45:54,514 --> 01:45:58,352
"that we talk about        
          in Christianity,

2122
01:45:58,435 --> 01:46:00,729
"or you can go for the crowd.

2123
01:46:00,812 --> 01:46:01,938
You gotta choose."

2124
01:46:02,022 --> 01:46:03,398
[Sharpton]: This is your life.

2125
01:46:03,482 --> 01:46:05,192
It's like a blank         
           piece of paper.

2126
01:46:05,275 --> 01:46:07,277
You can write on          
          it what you want,

2127
01:46:07,361 --> 01:46:09,321
or the world will         
        write on it for you.

2128
01:46:09,404 --> 01:46:13,408
You should write for yourself   
    the things that are positive

2129
01:46:13,492 --> 01:46:15,077
and powerful for you.

2130
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:18,497
You don't give people       
        room to misinterpret,

2131
01:46:18,622 --> 01:46:23,126
because the cause is the bigger 
     than the applause you get.

2132
01:46:23,251 --> 01:46:24,294
The Reverend Al Sharpton says

2133
01:46:24,378 --> 01:46:26,254
he'll run for the         
           US Senate seat.

2134
01:46:26,338 --> 01:46:29,216
We must be concerned        
          about the agenda

2135
01:46:29,299 --> 01:46:31,343
that empowers our community.

2136
01:46:31,426 --> 01:46:34,429
[Sharpton]: And I had to learn   
        to discipline myself.

2137
01:46:34,513 --> 01:46:37,516
[Reporter]: Amadou Diallo was   
    shot by four police officers

2138
01:46:37,599 --> 01:46:39,768
who fired 41 shots at him.

2139
01:46:39,851 --> 01:46:42,312
[shouts of "Amadou!"]

2140
01:46:42,396 --> 01:46:43,939
[Sharpton]:            
        This is not the end.

2141
01:46:44,022 --> 01:46:45,148
This is the beginning.

2142
01:46:45,232 --> 01:46:46,858
We intend to            
       nationalize this fight.

2143
01:46:46,942 --> 01:46:52,155
I became more defined as in the 
      lane that I was born in.

2144
01:46:52,239 --> 01:46:54,074
It was not I had changed.

2145
01:46:54,157 --> 01:46:56,743
I had returned,          
        and that's who I was.

2146
01:46:56,827 --> 01:47:02,207
We are angry, but we are bright 
    enough and intelligent enough

2147
01:47:02,290 --> 01:47:04,501
to channel our anger        
           to get results!

2148
01:47:04,584 --> 01:47:06,253
[Reporter]: The Reverend      
    Al Sharpton and others today

2149
01:47:06,378 --> 01:47:09,840
found justice not outside of    
     the system, but through it.

2150
01:47:09,923 --> 01:47:11,007
[Woman]: Please welcome

2151
01:47:11,091 --> 01:47:12,968
Democratic             
       presidential candidate

2152
01:47:13,051 --> 01:47:14,719
Reverend Al Sharpton!

2153
01:47:14,803 --> 01:47:15,804
[applause]

2154
01:47:15,887 --> 01:47:18,306
[Sharpton]: There's        
        a difference between

2155
01:47:18,390 --> 01:47:21,143
making news and making history.

2156
01:47:21,226 --> 01:47:23,019
I think you gotta go        
      beyond your comfort zone.

2157
01:47:23,103 --> 01:47:26,398
A civil rights activist who now 
 hosts his own program on MSNBC--

2158
01:47:26,481 --> 01:47:29,025
Welcome to PoliticsNation.     
          I'm Al Sharpton.

2159
01:47:29,109 --> 01:47:31,194
In the '50s,            
         it was Emmitt Till.

2160
01:47:31,278 --> 01:47:34,114
Now it is Trayvon Martin.

2161
01:47:34,197 --> 01:47:37,492
This boy should be alive today!

2162
01:47:37,576 --> 01:47:38,618
The work we've done with

2163
01:47:38,702 --> 01:47:40,537
the Taskforce for         
       21st Century Policing,

2164
01:47:40,620 --> 01:47:42,497
that at times you've        
          participated in,

2165
01:47:42,581 --> 01:47:44,124
terrific recommendations.

2166
01:47:44,207 --> 01:47:45,792
Appreciate you, sir.        
             Thank you.

2167
01:47:45,876 --> 01:47:48,712
And Mrs. King was a        
         large part of that.

2168
01:47:55,135 --> 01:47:56,386
[Reporter]:            
           Developing now,

2169
01:47:56,470 --> 01:47:57,846
crowds are gathering        
       in the nation's capital

2170
01:47:57,929 --> 01:48:00,640
for a rally called         
       The Commitment March--

2171
01:48:00,724 --> 01:48:03,185
Get Your Knee Off Our Necks.

2172
01:48:03,268 --> 01:48:05,979
It also marks the         
          57th anniversary

2173
01:48:06,062 --> 01:48:07,397
of the March on Washington,

2174
01:48:07,481 --> 01:48:10,025
one of the most important     
     civil rights demonstrations

2175
01:48:10,108 --> 01:48:12,402
in our nation's history.

2176
01:48:12,486 --> 01:48:15,697
Joining us now, the organizer   
   of today's march on Washington,

2177
01:48:15,780 --> 01:48:17,657
my dear friend, the        
        Reverend Al Sharpton.

2178
01:48:17,741 --> 01:48:20,160
He is the President of the     
      National Action Network.

2179
01:48:20,243 --> 01:48:24,414
He also hosts MSNBC's       
           PoliticsNation.

2180
01:48:24,498 --> 01:48:25,707
I understand the anger,

2181
01:48:25,790 --> 01:48:28,001
but your anger should       
        be directed in a way

2182
01:48:28,084 --> 01:48:30,754
that you're going to deal     
    with what you're angry about.

2183
01:48:30,837 --> 01:48:35,425
You cannot let your anger make   
   you like what you're fighting.

2184
01:48:35,509 --> 01:48:36,676
Nobody's more angry than me.

2185
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,221
I've been fighting these      
         issues for decades.

2186
01:48:39,304 --> 01:48:42,307
But am I angry enough       
         to channel my anger

2187
01:48:42,390 --> 01:48:43,808
toward what I'm angry about?

2188
01:48:43,892 --> 01:48:46,937
Or, am I gonna start being     
     like what I'm angry about,

2189
01:48:47,020 --> 01:48:49,189
reckless and violent?

2190
01:48:49,272 --> 01:48:51,691
[indistinct chatter]

2191
01:48:52,359 --> 01:48:54,194
97.6--you are good to go!

2192
01:48:54,277 --> 01:48:55,737
-Thank you.            
             -Of course.

2193
01:48:55,820 --> 01:48:57,364
-How are you doin', boss?     
         -Good, how are you?

2194
01:48:57,447 --> 01:48:58,782
[Yamiche Alcindor]:        
        Yesterday was crazy.

2195
01:48:58,865 --> 01:49:00,450
I was at that gathering      
         at the White House,

2196
01:49:00,617 --> 01:49:02,494
hoping that none of those     
       germs will kill us all.

2197
01:49:02,577 --> 01:49:05,497
You see how careful        
         we're trying to be.

2198
01:49:05,580 --> 01:49:06,748
It's crazy.

2199
01:49:06,831 --> 01:49:08,458
[Alcindor]: Nobody was tested.   
         It was just crazy.

2200
01:49:08,542 --> 01:49:10,794
We tested everybody, and      
     those that we had to let in

2201
01:49:10,877 --> 01:49:12,963
we tested in brackets       
            in the back.

2202
01:49:13,046 --> 01:49:13,713
Yeah.

2203
01:49:13,797 --> 01:49:15,298
[Sharpton]: Everybody's here?

2204
01:49:15,382 --> 01:49:16,925
The busses are in,         
     but they have to walk over

2205
01:49:17,008 --> 01:49:18,051
from Union Station.

2206
01:49:18,134 --> 01:49:19,344
Good to see you.          
           You all right?

2207
01:49:19,427 --> 01:49:20,762
-They treating you all right?   
               -Yeah.

2208
01:49:20,845 --> 01:49:24,599
If they don't take care      
      of you, you let me know.

2209
01:49:27,394 --> 01:49:31,856
[chanting "No           
        justice--no peace!"]

2210
01:49:31,940 --> 01:49:33,400
No racist police.

2211
01:49:33,483 --> 01:49:35,652
[Man]: Show me what        
        democracy looks like!

2212
01:49:35,735 --> 01:49:38,405
[Group]: This is what       
        democracy looks like!

2213
01:49:38,530 --> 01:49:42,409
[Sharpton]: You slowly helped   
     some families to understand

2214
01:49:42,492 --> 01:49:45,287
that it's bigger than them,

2215
01:49:45,370 --> 01:49:49,082
and that their loved one      
       can be the Emmett Till,

2216
01:49:49,165 --> 01:49:50,584
can be the symbol,

2217
01:49:50,667 --> 01:49:52,502
then we can change it       
         for other families.

2218
01:49:52,586 --> 01:49:54,671
We can't bring 'em back.      
          I wish we could.

2219
01:49:54,754 --> 01:49:56,047
[Reporter]:            
         Reverend Sharpton,

2220
01:49:56,131 --> 01:49:57,632
What is your call to action?

2221
01:49:57,716 --> 01:50:03,430
We want to push the George     
   Floyd Policing and Justice bill

2222
01:50:03,513 --> 01:50:04,848
and the John Lewis voting bill.

2223
01:50:04,931 --> 01:50:07,684
They ought to go to        
     their senators, email them,

2224
01:50:07,767 --> 01:50:09,394
and say those bills must pass.

2225
01:50:09,477 --> 01:50:12,439
But we can make a         
         historic statement

2226
01:50:12,522 --> 01:50:13,773
if we just work together.

2227
01:50:13,857 --> 01:50:17,360
Anything you need, let us know. 
        All right? Anything.

2228
01:50:17,444 --> 01:50:20,697
I'm gonna give you my number    
        if you need anything.

2229
01:50:25,619 --> 01:50:29,456
You have to have somebody     
    that's been there with them,

2230
01:50:29,539 --> 01:50:31,333
they know what to talk about,

2231
01:50:31,416 --> 01:50:32,959
that's not coming in        
      with platitudes and all,

2232
01:50:33,043 --> 01:50:36,379
but they're coming         
        with real-life stuff.

2233
01:50:36,463 --> 01:50:37,380
And I've been there.

2234
01:50:37,464 --> 01:50:39,466
[cheers and applause]

2235
01:50:39,549 --> 01:50:44,679
[Sharpton]: When I go up, have   
     Mr. Blake, Philonise Floyd,

2236
01:50:44,763 --> 01:50:48,141
Breonna's mother, and       
      Arbery's father standing,

2237
01:50:48,224 --> 01:50:50,310
ready to come down when I call.

2238
01:50:50,393 --> 01:50:53,480
I always questioned        
         when I was younger,

2239
01:50:53,563 --> 01:50:55,899
why did God let this happen?

2240
01:50:56,483 --> 01:50:59,861
To me, my father, my sister.

2241
01:51:00,278 --> 01:51:03,907
[cheers and applause]

2242
01:51:04,199 --> 01:51:05,492
No justice!

2243
01:51:05,575 --> 01:51:06,993
[Crowd]: No peace!

2244
01:51:07,077 --> 01:51:08,203
No justice!

2245
01:51:08,286 --> 01:51:09,412
[Crowd]: No peace!

2246
01:51:09,496 --> 01:51:10,497
No justice!

2247
01:51:10,580 --> 01:51:11,748
[Crowd]: No peace!

2248
01:51:11,831 --> 01:51:13,416
[Sharpton]: And I thought     
       about it later in life,

2249
01:51:13,500 --> 01:51:14,918
that if I hadn't          
         went through that,

2250
01:51:15,001 --> 01:51:16,878
I probably couldn't have      
    ministered to those families,

2251
01:51:16,961 --> 01:51:19,547
'cause I would've never      
       known that experience.

2252
01:51:19,631 --> 01:51:25,595
2020, we must deal         
       with police brutality.

2253
01:51:25,679 --> 01:51:28,723
2020, we must deal with those

2254
01:51:28,807 --> 01:51:32,060
that want to rob          
         our right to vote.

2255
01:51:32,143 --> 01:51:33,561
[applause]

2256
01:51:33,645 --> 01:51:36,564
[Sharpton]: So I know what a    
   lot of those families I end up

2257
01:51:36,648 --> 01:51:41,027
later in life had to go      
   through, 'cause I was that kid.

2258
01:51:41,111 --> 01:51:45,490
And I didn't come to        
        shame 'em or use 'em.

2259
01:51:45,573 --> 01:51:47,409
I came to help 'em

2260
01:51:47,492 --> 01:51:49,494
and help the cause.

2261
01:51:49,577 --> 01:51:53,540
I bring you the brother      
          of George Floyd,

2262
01:51:53,623 --> 01:51:55,458
Philonise Floyd.

2263
01:51:55,583 --> 01:51:59,587
But you can't ignore        
   their needs to help the cause.

2264
01:51:59,671 --> 01:52:03,258
And I never talk about it,     
      won't talk about it now.

2265
01:52:03,341 --> 01:52:05,635
That's between me         
          and the families.

2266
01:52:05,719 --> 01:52:07,637
It's part of that vow I made.

2267
01:52:07,721 --> 01:52:12,726
[Philonise]: I wish George were 
     here to see this right now.

2268
01:52:12,809 --> 01:52:15,687
That's who I'm marching for.

2269
01:52:15,770 --> 01:52:20,442
I'm marching for          
        George, for Breonna,

2270
01:52:20,525 --> 01:52:25,238
for Ahmaud, for Jacob,

2271
01:52:25,321 --> 01:52:30,493
for Michael Brown, Trayvon,

2272
01:52:30,577 --> 01:52:35,415
and anybody else who        
          lost their lives.

2273
01:52:35,498 --> 01:52:38,460
All to evil...

2274
01:52:40,211 --> 01:52:42,046
[indistinct chatter]

2275
01:52:42,130 --> 01:52:44,174
Sorry man.

01:53:13,953 --> 01:53:16,289
[Man]: Atatiana Jefferson!

01:53:16,372 --> 01:53:17,791
Jemel Roberson!

2282
01:53:17,874 --> 01:53:19,626
Ahmaud Arbery!

2283
01:53:19,709 --> 01:53:21,503
Sylville Smith!

2284
01:53:21,586 --> 01:53:23,546
DeAndre Barber!

2285
01:53:24,214 --> 01:53:25,799
Terence Crutcher!

2286
01:53:25,882 --> 01:53:27,300
Trayvon Martin!

2287
01:53:27,383 --> 01:53:29,552
[Woman]: You need         
          some water, Rev?

2288
01:53:42,649 --> 01:53:44,609
[indistinct chatter]

2289
01:53:44,692 --> 01:53:48,029
[Man]: Testing, one,        
          two, three, four.

2290
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:51,241
[distant cheers]

2291
01:53:51,324 --> 01:53:53,535
-[Man]: Say his name!       
       -[Group]: George Floyd!

2292
01:53:53,618 --> 01:53:57,914
-[Man]: Say his name!       
       -[Group]: George Floyd!

2293
01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:00,416
[Sharpton]: This          
          is the first time

2294
01:54:00,500 --> 01:54:01,876
in the history of this state

2295
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:06,506
that a white police officer    
   has been convicted of a murder.

2296
01:54:07,173 --> 01:54:11,719
This is the first time       
       in a long ray of fights

2297
01:54:11,803 --> 01:54:17,892
that we've seen three       
     counts guilty in all three.

2298
01:54:17,976 --> 01:54:20,770
We don't find pleasure in this.

2299
01:54:20,854 --> 01:54:23,481
The war and the          
         fight is not over.

2300
01:54:23,565 --> 01:54:24,732
Just two days from now,

2301
01:54:24,816 --> 01:54:27,485
we're going to have to       
      deal with the funeral of

2302
01:54:27,569 --> 01:54:31,239
Daunte Wright in this       
             same area.

2303
01:54:31,322 --> 01:54:36,077
Before we do anything,       
        we first wanna pray.

2304
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:39,831
We believe in a God that can    
     even get through the cracks

2305
01:54:39,914 --> 01:54:45,378
of the jury room and bring     
     conscious and bring truth.

2306
01:54:45,461 --> 01:54:47,755
And that jury, we         
          wanna thank them

2307
01:54:47,839 --> 01:54:50,717
for letting God          
       give them the strength.

2308
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:53,261
Wherever they are tonight,     
        we want them to know

2309
01:54:53,344 --> 01:54:57,682
we broke down in tears       
     when we heard the verdict.

2310
01:54:57,765 --> 01:55:00,685
We had to hold each        
      other and hug and tears,

2311
01:55:00,768 --> 01:55:02,937
because too many          
         nights we've cried,

2312
01:55:03,021 --> 01:55:06,816
many of us for decades,      
        spent nights in jail.

2313
01:55:06,900 --> 01:55:09,736
But today we can          
         wipe our tears away

2314
01:55:09,819 --> 01:55:11,529
and fight on for another day.

2315
01:55:11,613 --> 01:55:12,947
There's sunlight.

2316
01:55:13,031 --> 01:55:16,284
We're gonna keep going 'til we   
   bring it for the Eric Gardners

2317
01:55:16,367 --> 01:55:19,454
and the Breonna Taylors, whose   
     boyfriend is here tonight.

2318
01:55:19,537 --> 01:55:20,246
[Man]: Kenny Walker.

2319
01:55:20,330 --> 01:55:21,205
Kenny Walker.

2320
01:55:21,289 --> 01:55:22,332
[applause]

2321
01:55:22,415 --> 01:55:26,377
Sean Bell, so many that      
       did not get this night,

2322
01:55:26,461 --> 01:55:27,587
this night is for them.

2323
01:55:27,670 --> 01:55:29,505
Let us pray.

2324
01:55:31,090 --> 01:55:32,300
What about the meeting?

2325
01:55:32,383 --> 01:55:33,927
Are you satisfied with       
       what went on in there?

2326
01:55:34,010 --> 01:55:35,511
We asked the police        
      commissioner point blank

2327
01:55:35,595 --> 01:55:38,806
to suspend--            
        emphatically suspend

2328
01:55:38,890 --> 01:55:39,891
the officer in question.

2329
01:55:39,974 --> 01:55:43,561
And we got a lot          
      of runaround about that.

2330
01:55:43,645 --> 01:55:45,855
[Sharpton]: Dear God,       
            we thank you

2331
01:55:45,939 --> 01:55:49,108
for giving us the strength     
         to stand together.

2332
01:55:49,192 --> 01:55:51,903
Sometimes we would         
        question each other.

2333
01:55:51,986 --> 01:55:55,281
Sometimes we say this is just   
      gonna be a waste of time.

2334
01:55:55,365 --> 01:55:58,409
A young man was shot and his    
   murderer has not been punished.

2335
01:55:58,493 --> 01:56:01,245
And, I mean, you can talk     
   about long range, short range,

2336
01:56:01,329 --> 01:56:03,748
any kind of            
      investigations you want.

2337
01:56:03,831 --> 01:56:06,542
[Sharpton]: And Lord,       
           let George know

2338
01:56:06,626 --> 01:56:09,420
that his name is          
       going down in history.

2339
01:56:09,504 --> 01:56:10,922
And we give you the praise.

2340
01:56:11,005 --> 01:56:14,759
Thank you, and God,        
       we give you the glory.

2341
01:56:14,842 --> 01:56:17,971
These blessings we ask       
         in your name, amen.

2342
01:56:18,054 --> 01:56:19,681
[All]: Amen!

2343
01:56:19,764 --> 01:56:20,890
Amen!

2344
01:56:20,974 --> 01:56:22,058
[applause]

2345
01:56:22,141 --> 01:56:23,768
[Sharpton]: You          
        have white policemen

2346
01:56:23,851 --> 01:56:25,812
policing the community that    
       have the same mentality

2347
01:56:25,895 --> 01:56:27,063
that this man has.

2348
01:56:27,146 --> 01:56:28,815
So, I mean, you're talking     
        about the grand jury

2349
01:56:28,898 --> 01:56:30,692
and an investigation, a      
      DA, means nothing to us.

2350
01:56:30,775 --> 01:56:32,318
The only thing that        
        means something to us

2351
01:56:32,402 --> 01:56:33,528
is direct action--

2352
01:56:33,611 --> 01:56:37,532
pull the white policeman out    
    and deal with that situation.

2353
01:56:38,783 --> 01:56:39,909
Reverend Alfred Sharpton,

2354
01:56:39,993 --> 01:56:41,452
chairman of the          
      National Youth Movement.

2355
01:56:41,536 --> 01:56:43,788
[Terrence Floyd]: Reverend     
   Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton,

2356
01:56:43,871 --> 01:56:45,707
they lived to see this.

2357
01:56:47,834 --> 01:56:50,086
Their fight wasn't in vain.

2358
01:56:50,712 --> 01:56:53,006
It just didn't happen       
          when they did it.

2359
01:56:53,089 --> 01:56:54,215
But it happened now.

2360
01:56:54,298 --> 01:56:57,093
Let's make sure,          
    Reverend Al, that this moment

2361
01:56:57,176 --> 01:57:02,807
will be documented for       
       our children yet unborn

2362
01:57:03,516 --> 01:57:08,688
as they continue on        
       the journey to justice.

2363
01:57:08,771 --> 01:57:10,857
[Sharpton]: I never        
         thought I would see

2364
01:57:10,940 --> 01:57:13,943
a policeman convicted       
        on all three charges.

2365
01:57:14,027 --> 01:57:15,695
Movements need victories.

2366
01:57:15,778 --> 01:57:17,989
The George Floyd verdict      
        gave us that victory.

2367
01:57:18,072 --> 01:57:19,741
[Female reporter]:         
          Congratulations.          
         Thank you so much.

2368
01:57:19,824 --> 01:57:22,493
[Sharpton]: When I         
       started at 18 years old

2369
01:57:22,577 --> 01:57:23,703
as a youth director for

2370
01:57:23,786 --> 01:57:26,205
Shirley Chisolm for President   
               in '72,

2371
01:57:26,289 --> 01:57:30,293
we never dreamed of a Black    
     woman being vice president.

2372
01:57:31,210 --> 01:57:33,838
When we would boycott       
             and picket

2373
01:57:33,921 --> 01:57:36,466
supermarkets and          
       stores in my teen years

2374
01:57:36,549 --> 01:57:38,051
in Operation Breadbasket,

2375
01:57:38,134 --> 01:57:42,722
it was not even in         
        the realm of fantasy

2376
01:57:42,805 --> 01:57:47,143
that we'd see Black CEOs      
      of Fortune 500 companies.

2377
01:57:47,226 --> 01:57:49,854
Don't tell me           
        things won't change.

2378
01:57:49,937 --> 01:57:53,357
I kept telling family after    
     family that we keep going,

2379
01:57:53,441 --> 01:57:56,110
at some point,           
        we'll break through.

2380
01:57:56,194 --> 01:58:01,074
I sat on the stage when a Black 
   man named Barack Hussein Obama

2381
01:58:01,157 --> 01:58:05,286
put his hand on Abraham Lincoln 
   and Martin Luther King's bible

2382
01:58:05,369 --> 01:58:07,622
and was sworn in president     
        of the United States.

2383
01:58:07,705 --> 01:58:13,419
I've seen too much change to    
   feel that nothing will change.

2384
01:58:15,838 --> 01:58:18,925
I've seen a lot of         
        things go backwards,

2385
01:58:19,008 --> 01:58:23,137
but I keep the change in my head 
    because the change I've seen

2386
01:58:23,221 --> 01:58:28,017
makes me know that if we keep   
    going, we can break through.

2387
01:58:28,101 --> 01:58:33,397
I want to use for a subject,    
       "No Justice, No Peace."

2388
01:58:33,481 --> 01:58:35,316
[applause]

2389
01:58:35,399 --> 01:58:39,278
I want 50, 100 years from     
      now for somebody to say,

2390
01:58:39,362 --> 01:58:44,158
there was a time police used    
     to get way with brutality.

2391
01:58:44,242 --> 01:58:47,578
There was a time that they     
      gave a Voting Rights Act,

2392
01:58:47,662 --> 01:58:48,871
and it lasted 50 years,

2393
01:58:48,955 --> 01:58:51,374
and the Supreme Court       
       took the gut out of it.

2394
01:58:51,457 --> 01:58:54,252
And oh, there was a little     
        fat guy from Brooklyn

2395
01:58:54,335 --> 01:58:55,795
who dropped out of college.

2396
01:58:55,878 --> 01:58:58,005
When he got older,         
         he lost the weight.

2397
01:58:58,089 --> 01:59:00,925
He was on the front line      
       to help in all of that.

2398
01:59:01,008 --> 01:59:02,760
Nobody will care          
   what kind of apartment I have.

2399
01:59:02,844 --> 01:59:04,929
Nobody will care          
       how much money I made.

2400
01:59:05,012 --> 01:59:07,181
They'll care that         
         I was one of them.

2401
01:59:07,265 --> 01:59:10,560
Did those two or three       
         things in history.

2402
01:59:10,643 --> 01:59:13,312
That's all. That's all.

2403
01:59:13,396 --> 01:59:17,733
And when I see my mentors     
    in heaven, I can tell them...

2404
01:59:17,817 --> 01:59:20,194
I got some stuff done.

2405
01:59:21,654 --> 01:59:23,823
[Reporter]: I wonder        
   if this moment feels different

2406
01:59:23,906 --> 01:59:26,075
on a legislative          
          and policy front.

2407
01:59:26,159 --> 01:59:27,410
[Sharpton]: I do.

2408
01:59:27,493 --> 01:59:30,163
We're dealing with a police    
       case in Columbus, Ohio.

2409
01:59:30,246 --> 01:59:32,540
Dealing with a shooting      
         in North Carolina.

2410
01:59:32,623 --> 01:59:35,293
We're dealing with         
      the killing here, Daunte.

2411
01:59:35,376 --> 01:59:37,003
If now is not the time,

2412
01:59:37,086 --> 01:59:39,964
I don't know when it        
       ever will be the time.

2413
01:59:40,047 --> 01:59:42,133
[Reporter]: Reverend Al      
    Sharpton, thank you so much,

2414
01:59:42,216 --> 01:59:45,011
on a day like today, for      
   making some time to talk to us.

2415
01:59:45,094 --> 01:59:51,267

2416
02:00:09,035 --> 02:00:17,585
[music]

2417
02:00:17,710 --> 02:00:22,757
There's a truth we        
        cannot stop facing

2418
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:25,051
It is what it is

2419
02:00:25,176 --> 02:00:27,970
It is what it is

2420
02:00:28,054 --> 02:00:32,934
There's a hope          
     we will not stop chasing

2421
02:00:33,017 --> 02:00:35,686
Now til the end

2422
02:00:35,770 --> 02:00:38,856
Now til the end

Couldn't breathe

2424
02:00:41,150 --> 02:00:46,739
Searched the whole world     
        to find some relief

2425
02:00:46,989 --> 02:00:48,950
Helped me see

2426
02:00:49,992 --> 02:00:51,077

2427
02:00:51,160 --> 02:00:52,912

It can take in a day more    
     than years can leave you

2445
02:01:35,288 --> 02:01:41,460

       and we make it worse
