{\an8} In the 12th Congressional District
of New York,
4
00:00:52,166 --> 00:00:54,291
{\an8}a schoolteacher named
Mrs. Shirley Chisholm
5
00:00:54,375 --> 00:00:56,000
{\an8}was elected to Congress.
6
00:00:56,708 --> 00:00:59,208
Running sip. Come on.
7
00:01:00,875 --> 00:01:02,583
- Shirley.
8
00:01:04,291 --> 00:01:05,333
Mm.
9
00:01:09,875 --> 00:01:11,000
I'll see you later.
10
00:01:19,833 --> 00:01:23,041
Ladies and gentlemen of the press,
fellow representatives,
11
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:28,208
as Speaker of the House,
it is my honor to introduce
12
00:01:28,291 --> 00:01:32,166
the freshman class of the 91st Congress
13
00:01:32,250 --> 00:01:34,750
of the United States of America.
14
00:01:52,916 --> 00:01:56,750
Gentlemen, madam, welcome to Congress.
15
00:02:08,958 --> 00:02:10,500
Congratulations.
16
00:02:10,583 --> 00:02:12,958
- Thank you.
- Congresswoman Chisholm.

She worked hard, man.
She worked real hard.

00:03:13,875 --> 00:03:15,083
I'm a congressman.

Well... you know, she'll probably
get an apartment down there.
39
00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:32,416
Conrad, Shirley,
would you mind?
40
00:03:34,916 --> 00:03:37,208
You've always
been there for us.
41
00:03:37,291 --> 00:03:40,000
I remember, when we came
to Brooklyn from Puerto Rico,
42
00:03:40,083 --> 00:03:41,916
you made us feel part of the family.
43
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,791
You are my family.
44
00:03:44,708 --> 00:03:47,416
This is just
the beginning, honey. The real fight?
45
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:50,750
Men in Washington don't understand
how important the ERA is for us.
46
00:03:50,833 --> 00:03:55,125
Yes, and when the bell hits the floor,
I'll be there for you. I promise.
47
00:03:55,208 --> 00:03:56,875
And we're gonna be there for you.
48
00:03:57,750 --> 00:04:00,125

- I appreciate you too.

Let's go, Mama.

00:04:07,708 --> 00:04:09,708
You don't wanna
say goodbye to your sister?

00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:10,833
She's busy.

00:04:11,333 --> 00:04:12,541
Always is.

00:04:13,041 --> 00:04:14,458

Morning, Ms. Chisholm. How you doing?
67
00:04:59,166 --> 00:05:01,083
I'm feeling pretty well.
68
00:05:01,625 --> 00:05:06,583
My, imagine making 42.5 like me.
69
00:05:07,875 --> 00:05:12,916
Congressman, we've both been here
for at least a week.
70
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,541
And you say that to me nearly every day.
71
00:05:15,625 --> 00:05:17,208
Nearly every day,
72
00:05:17,291 --> 00:05:21,500
I'm amazed that you're able to make
as much money as the rest of us.
73
00:05:22,916 --> 00:05:24,125
Two things.
74
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:29,125
First of all, since you can't stand
the idea of my making 42.5 like you,
75
00:05:29,208 --> 00:05:32,208
when you see me coming
into this chamber, vanish.
76
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:36,125
Vanish so you don't have to confront me
with this 42.5.
77
00:05:36,208 --> 00:05:41,291
Secondly, you have to remember
the reason I'm here.
78
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:42,375
I'm paving the road
79
00:05:42,458 --> 00:05:47,333
for a lot of other people looking like me
to get elected to Congress and make 42.5.
80
00:05:50,708 --> 00:05:51,750
Hm.
81
00:05:52,333 --> 00:05:53,333
Shirley.
82
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,666
- Ron.
- Got a second?
83
00:05:55,750 --> 00:05:57,750
More than a second for a friendly face.
84
00:05:57,833 --> 00:06:00,541
Well, let's just see
how you feel after we talk.
85
00:06:00,625 --> 00:06:01,500
Okay.
86
00:06:01,583 --> 00:06:03,083
Want to give you a heads-up.
87
00:06:03,166 --> 00:06:05,916
They're putting together assignments
for new congressmen,
88
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,583
and... they're assigning you
to the Agricultural Committee.
89
00:06:09,666 --> 00:06:10,833
Agriculture?
90
00:06:10,916 --> 00:06:13,625
- Corn, wheat, cows?
- I don't know about no cows.
91
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:14,875
I represent Brooklyn.
92
00:06:14,958 --> 00:06:17,875
What am I gonna do for the people
of Brooklyn on the Agriculture...
93
00:06:17,958 --> 00:06:19,333
I wanted Veterans' Affairs.
94
00:06:19,416 --> 00:06:21,833
I went through the same
my first year in Congress.
95
00:06:21,916 --> 00:06:24,833
- Serve on the committee you're assigned.
- Agriculture? No.
96
00:06:24,916 --> 00:06:27,375
- That's just how it is.
- Who do I have to talk to?
97
00:06:27,958 --> 00:06:30,666
Speaker McCormack makes
all the committee assignments.
98
00:06:30,750 --> 00:06:33,500
But he's Speaker of the House.
99
00:06:33,583 --> 00:06:36,083
You don't talk
to the Speaker of the House.
100
00:06:37,666 --> 00:06:38,666
You...
101
00:06:39,708 --> 00:06:40,750
Oh Lord.
102
00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:44,375
There is no good reason to appoint me
to the Agricultural Committee.
103
00:06:44,458 --> 00:06:46,750
- You're a freshman.
- I represent the 12th District.
104
00:06:46,833 --> 00:06:49,750
- Take the assignment you're given.
- People need jobs and housing.
105
00:06:49,833 --> 00:06:51,666
- That's why they voted.
- Earn seniority--
106
00:06:51,750 --> 00:06:54,375
Seniority? I don't want to hear
about seniority, John.
107
00:06:54,458 --> 00:06:56,666
If you want me to fight you
on this, I'll fight you.
108
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:59,125
You are not going to fight anyone.
109
00:06:59,208 --> 00:07:00,791
I am Speaker of the House.
110
00:07:00,875 --> 00:07:04,583
I decide who sits where,
and you better fall in line,
111
00:07:04,666 --> 00:07:07,416
or you're gonna kill your career
before it even gets started.
112
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,333
Um, Andrew, here. Hold up a sec.
113
00:07:11,083 --> 00:07:13,541
"Don't make a fuss,
and do as you're told."
114
00:07:14,250 --> 00:07:16,583
Sh-- Shirley. Shirley. Shirley. Shirley.
115
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:19,958
I understand your frustration,
but it's just...
116
00:07:20,041 --> 00:07:23,208
- It's a process, Shirley.
- He's the leader of my own party.
117
00:07:24,208 --> 00:07:26,666
Congresswoman from Brooklyn,
and he wants to put me on an--
118
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:28,916
It's about seniority.
119
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,250
So wait my turn?
120
00:07:30,333 --> 00:07:31,666
Not wait, but...
121
00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:35,791
Shirley, it's your first term.
122
00:07:36,541 --> 00:07:39,291
- Given time, you'll do great things.
-"Given time"?
123
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:42,500
- I believe that. I do.
- You want to give Richard Nixon time.
124
00:07:46,958 --> 00:07:47,958
What?
125
00:07:49,958 --> 00:07:51,166
What?
126
00:07:59,333 --> 00:08:01,666
You'll find a way to fit in.
127
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:18,666
Mac, good to see you.
128
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:20,500
Shirley.
129
00:08:22,541 --> 00:08:23,875
Arthur.
130
00:08:24,708 --> 00:08:26,708
- Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.
131
00:08:32,875 --> 00:08:33,875
Come in.
132
00:08:34,541 --> 00:08:35,541
Thank you.
133
00:08:39,416 --> 00:08:41,625
Shirley, in October,
134
00:08:41,708 --> 00:08:47,250
you told the Committee to Elect Chisholm
in Florida if they could raise $5,000,
135
00:08:47,333 --> 00:08:50,041
that you would put your name
on the primary ballot.
136
00:08:51,208 --> 00:08:53,875
They raised almost 10,000.
137
00:09:07,583 --> 00:09:11,083
So what does that mean,
that they raised money?
138
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:15,708
Yes, Miss Shirley.
What exactly does that mean?
139
00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:26,708
Well, I told the women
if they raised the money,
140
00:09:26,791 --> 00:09:29,583
I'd put my name on the ticket.
141
00:09:31,625 --> 00:09:33,083
I'd run for president.
142
00:09:33,791 --> 00:09:34,916
President?
143
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,666
What do you want us to tell them?
144
00:09:40,708 --> 00:09:43,250
Shirley, if you run,
145
00:09:44,416 --> 00:09:45,500
you can't win.
146
00:09:47,208 --> 00:09:49,291
Well, not with that attitude, I can't.
147
00:09:50,583 --> 00:09:52,250
And why can't I win?
148
00:09:52,333 --> 00:09:55,125
Besides the fact that I'm a Black woman.
149
00:09:55,208 --> 00:09:58,125
Muskie's going to run away
with the Democratic primary.
150
00:09:58,208 --> 00:10:01,041
Even if you did get in the race,
the field's too crowded.
151
00:10:01,125 --> 00:10:03,916
Muskie. McGovern's running.
Lindsay's probably gonna run.
152
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,125
Humphrey'll run.
Humphrey always runs. Mills.
153
00:10:06,208 --> 00:10:08,250
Scoop Jackson, for God's sake.
George Wallace.
154
00:10:08,333 --> 00:10:10,666
And what do they all have in common?
155
00:10:10,750 --> 00:10:12,416
Middle-aged white men.
156
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,750
Who is representing the Blacks,
157
00:10:14,833 --> 00:10:17,958
the women, the Chicanos,
the youth, the working class?
158
00:10:18,041 --> 00:10:20,750
Well, one thing for sure,
you don't have enough money.
159
00:10:20,833 --> 00:10:22,041
I'll fundraise.
160
00:10:22,125 --> 00:10:23,458
Off of who?
161
00:10:23,958 --> 00:10:26,791
The Chicanos, the youth,
the working class?
162
00:10:26,875 --> 00:10:29,541
They don't have any money.
Not real money.
163
00:10:30,125 --> 00:10:32,750
If you wanted to even
have a token campaign,
164
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:35,250
you'd have to start with... three?
165
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:36,166
Three.
166
00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:38,333
At least 300,000.
167
00:10:38,416 --> 00:10:41,166
And that would be a bare-bones,
slimmed-down campaign.
168
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:42,291
Mac.
169
00:10:43,125 --> 00:10:47,666
I go to speak at college campuses,
and I have boys, white boys,
170
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:51,750
coming up to me talking about,
"Mrs. Chisholm, when are you gonna do it?"
171
00:10:51,833 --> 00:10:54,291
"When are you going to run for president?"
172
00:10:54,375 --> 00:10:58,541
If there are white boys
who think I could be president,
173
00:10:58,625 --> 00:11:01,250
who think I should be president,
174
00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:04,041
then how am I not gonna try
for everybody else?
175
00:11:04,125 --> 00:11:06,416
Well...
176
00:11:08,166 --> 00:11:10,208
You're certainly not afraid to run.
177
00:11:11,875 --> 00:11:13,375
I ought to know.
178
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,208
Mac.
179
00:11:18,083 --> 00:11:19,166
Shirley...
180
00:11:25,208 --> 00:11:27,375
What would you need from us?
181
00:11:33,166 --> 00:11:37,416
I would need you to advise me,
same as always.
182
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:39,750
Arthur, you can oversee the money.
183
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:44,291
Conrad can take a bit of time off work
to handle the security.
184
00:11:50,416 --> 00:11:51,333
Nothing?
185
00:11:51,833 --> 00:11:52,750
Hmm.
186
00:11:52,833 --> 00:11:53,791
Nothing?
187
00:11:54,291 --> 00:11:56,416
Nobody's got anything to say?
188
00:11:58,958 --> 00:12:00,791
You're running for president.
189
00:12:01,916 --> 00:12:03,583
What is there to say?
190
00:12:06,083 --> 00:12:07,291
"Yes."
191
00:12:08,166 --> 00:12:10,583
Tell them I said, "Yes."
192
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:16,208
I'm gonna have to find you
a campaign manager.
193
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:19,333
- Needs to be somebody Black.
- Needs to be somebody good.
194
00:12:19,416 --> 00:12:20,791
I have to make some calls.
195
00:12:20,875 --> 00:12:23,083
Yeah, well, I gotta raise $300,000.
196
00:12:23,166 --> 00:12:25,958
Merry Christmas to you.
197
00:12:26,041 --> 00:12:28,458
One hell of a way
to start the New Year.
198
00:12:28,541 --> 00:12:30,416
You ready to do this again?
199
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:32,375
- One more time.
- Wow!
200
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:44,875
So?
201
00:12:45,875 --> 00:12:47,000
What do you think?
202
00:12:47,916 --> 00:12:50,000
A little late to be asking me now.
203
00:12:50,791 --> 00:12:52,708
But it's not too late.
204
00:12:54,166 --> 00:12:56,000
I've never known you not to win.
205
00:12:56,083 --> 00:12:57,500
Not once.
206
00:12:58,333 --> 00:13:00,375
Why should this time be any different?
207
00:13:03,333 --> 00:13:04,875
I should get a new camera.
208
00:13:05,541 --> 00:13:07,250
You're about to make history.
209
00:13:07,333 --> 00:13:11,500
Whatever you get, make sure it's used,
and make sure it's cheap.
210
00:13:35,291 --> 00:13:36,500
Robert?
211
00:13:37,583 --> 00:13:38,708
Robert!
212
00:13:38,791 --> 00:13:40,458
How are you, Mrs. C?
213
00:13:40,541 --> 00:13:43,125
Look at you. What is all that?
214
00:13:43,208 --> 00:13:46,291
Uh, well, you know.
I'm not a congressional aide anymore. So--
215
00:13:46,375 --> 00:13:48,541
So you went and got all hip on me.
216
00:13:48,625 --> 00:13:50,541
- I suppose I did.
217
00:13:50,625 --> 00:13:52,416
Yeah, it's been a little while.
218
00:13:53,083 --> 00:13:55,875
I would have to say
that the thing that I remember most,
219
00:13:55,958 --> 00:13:57,625
a first-year congressman,
220
00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:02,500
{\an8}and you forced the Speaker to give you
a different committee assignment.
221
00:14:02,583 --> 00:14:04,541
I mean, how do you even...
222
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:08,166
Just don't ever accept things
the way they are.
223
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:09,666
Mrs. C, I gotta tell you,
224
00:14:11,333 --> 00:14:14,250
interning for you
is one of the most memorable experiences
225
00:14:14,333 --> 00:14:15,541
that I've ever had.
226
00:14:16,041 --> 00:14:18,000
I appreciate it. I do.
227
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:22,458
And I understand you're doing
some impressive things at Cornell.
228
00:14:22,541 --> 00:14:24,541
Elected to the Board of Regents.
229
00:14:24,625 --> 00:14:26,625
Yeah, I'm just a student representative.
230
00:14:26,708 --> 00:14:28,458
The first ever.
231
00:14:29,291 --> 00:14:31,750
Robert, a bit of advice?
232
00:14:31,833 --> 00:14:32,958
Don't be humble.
233
00:14:33,041 --> 00:14:37,041
Humility in successful people
comes off as its own kind of arrogance.
234
00:14:37,125 --> 00:14:39,375
I don't know that I'm a successful person.
235
00:14:39,458 --> 00:14:41,166
- Robert.
236
00:14:42,083 --> 00:14:43,458
Okay. Yes.
237
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,666
Yes. Understood.
238
00:14:46,750 --> 00:14:47,625
Hm.
239
00:14:50,291 --> 00:14:53,833
So, I have something I want to tell you.
240
00:14:55,083 --> 00:14:57,291
I am running for president.
241
00:14:59,833 --> 00:15:01,416
Of the United States?
242
00:15:04,125 --> 00:15:05,083
Holy...
243
00:15:05,958 --> 00:15:09,083
That's... I mean, that's...
Right the hell on, Mrs. C.
244
00:15:09,166 --> 00:15:10,625
I mean, that's... that's great.
245
00:15:10,708 --> 00:15:14,375
You would be the most amazing president
that this country has ever seen.
246
00:15:14,458 --> 00:15:17,791
I mean, wow. That...
If there's anything I can do to help...
247
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,333
Well, there is.
248
00:15:21,083 --> 00:15:24,333
I need you to be
my national student coordinator.
249
00:15:24,958 --> 00:15:25,958
I'm so... What?
250
00:15:26,041 --> 00:15:28,375
Overseeing all the student organizations
251
00:15:28,458 --> 00:15:31,625
affiliated with the campaign
in the states where I'm on the ballot.
252
00:15:31,708 --> 00:15:33,500
- Okay.
- Putting together campus rallies.
253
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:35,208
Well, Mrs. C, um...
254
00:15:35,833 --> 00:15:36,791
I... I can't.
255
00:15:36,875 --> 00:15:39,000
I don't like the word "can't."
256
00:15:39,083 --> 00:15:40,625
Yes, I know. But I...
257
00:15:41,125 --> 00:15:43,875
Robert, this is the first year
258
00:15:43,958 --> 00:15:47,125
18-year-olds will be able to vote
in a national election.
259
00:15:47,708 --> 00:15:50,708
To get them to vote, they need to know
260
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:53,625
that using their vote
can make a difference.
261
00:15:54,375 --> 00:15:56,291
National coordinator?
262
00:15:56,375 --> 00:15:58,000
I mean, I just turned 21.
263
00:15:58,666 --> 00:16:01,416
Old enough to be fighting
and dying in Vietnam.
264
00:16:02,583 --> 00:16:05,333
I mean, it's the middle
of the school year, and I can't...
265
00:16:05,416 --> 00:16:06,500
Mmm.
266
00:16:07,625 --> 00:16:10,416
Well, I mean, I... I...
I have to call the university.
267
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:13,125
I mean... I mean, I gotta call my parents.
268
00:16:18,541 --> 00:16:23,541
Should we maybe knock on the door
and tell Mrs. Chisholm I've arrived?
269
00:16:24,125 --> 00:16:26,875
She knows we're waiting.
We should let her finish her lunch.
270
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:28,875
New camera?
271
00:16:29,375 --> 00:16:30,958
Yeah, it's like new.
272
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,250
Thank you.
273
00:16:38,333 --> 00:16:39,708
Sorry to keep you waiting.
274
00:16:39,791 --> 00:16:40,708
Not at all.
275
00:16:41,208 --> 00:16:43,416
Shirley, Stanley Townsend.
276
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:44,375
Stan.
277
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,833
- How are you, Mrs. Chisholm?
- I'm feeling pretty well.
278
00:16:47,916 --> 00:16:49,750
You've met everybody? Conrad.
279
00:16:49,833 --> 00:16:52,958
Arthur, Robert Gottlieb,
my youth coordinator.
280
00:16:53,041 --> 00:16:55,000
He certainly fits the "youth" part.
281
00:16:56,458 --> 00:16:58,375
I'm old enough to be in Vietnam.
282
00:17:00,708 --> 00:17:01,750
Yes, you are.
283
00:17:01,833 --> 00:17:04,625
Stan's a longtime
political operative.
284
00:17:04,708 --> 00:17:07,500
He's excited about the prospect
of working on the campaign.
285
00:17:07,583 --> 00:17:08,458
Very excited.
286
00:17:08,541 --> 00:17:10,125
Well, I think we all are.
287
00:17:10,625 --> 00:17:13,500
I can imagine. I will say,
we have a lot of ground to cover.
288
00:17:13,583 --> 00:17:14,666
So we need to decide
289
00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:17,208
how to most effectively position
your messaging.
290
00:17:17,291 --> 00:17:20,000
My position and my messaging
are very simple.
291
00:17:20,083 --> 00:17:22,541
I'm trying to give politics
back to the people.
292
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:25,208
Absolutely.
But you're running a national campaign.
293
00:17:25,291 --> 00:17:29,541
So how do we convey your message
to voters across America?
294
00:17:29,625 --> 00:17:31,750
By telling voters across America
295
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:34,833
I'm trying to give politics
back to the people.
296
00:17:36,875 --> 00:17:40,625
A national campaign,
it's a little more challenging than that.
297
00:17:40,708 --> 00:17:42,625
But it needn't be.
298
00:17:43,958 --> 00:17:48,125
Mrs. Chisholm... I'm signing on
for an underfunded operation
299
00:17:48,208 --> 00:17:51,916
because who you are
and what you're about meet the moment.
300
00:17:52,708 --> 00:17:55,083
But you have to meet voters
where they live.
301
00:17:55,166 --> 00:17:58,500
All I ask is that you trust
I can help you accomplish that.
302
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:07,750
Okay.
303
00:18:07,833 --> 00:18:08,916
All right.
304
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,791
Well...
305
00:18:12,458 --> 00:18:14,875
- Let's get you elected president.
- All right.

as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination
311
00:18:35,666 --> 00:18:39,333
for the presidency
of the United States of America.
312
00:18:40,958 --> 00:18:46,666
I am not the candidate of Black America,
although I am Black and proud.
313
00:18:47,875 --> 00:18:51,416
I am not the candidate
of the women's movement of this country,

although I am a woman,
and I am equally proud of that.
315

I am not the candidate

317
00:19:08,541 --> 00:19:11,250
I stand here now without endorsements
318

from any big-name politicians
or celebrities.
319
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:21,500
I do not intend to offer
to you the tired and glib clichés
320
00:19:21,583 --> 00:19:26,333
which for too long have been
an accepted part of our political life.
321

I am the candidate

00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:52,125
And my presence before you now symbolizes
a new era in American political history.
323
00:19:52,791 --> 00:19:54,916
I have faith in the American people.
324
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,916
Yeah.
325
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,791
I believe that we are intelligent enough
326
00:19:58,875 --> 00:20:04,250
to recognize the talent, energy,
and dedication which all Americans,
327
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:07,625
including women and minorities,
have to offer.
328
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:13,583
We are all God's children,
and the will of each of us
329
00:20:13,666 --> 00:20:18,166
is just as precious
as the will of the most powerful of us.
330
00:20:18,666 --> 00:20:22,833
Our will can create a new America in 1972.
331
00:20:22,916 --> 00:20:23,916
Yeah!
332
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,916
One where there is freedom from violence
and war at home and abroad.
333
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,916
Yeah!
334
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,958
Where there is freedom
from poverty and discrimination.
335
00:20:34,041 --> 00:20:39,958
Where there exists at least a feeling
that we are making progress for everyone.
336
00:20:40,041 --> 00:20:40,916
Yes!
337
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,625
All of you who share this vision,

00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:45,375
who have been neglected,
339
00:20:45,458 --> 00:20:49,250
left out, forgotten,
ignored, or shunned aside,

00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:56,250
join me in an effort to regain our society
and regain control of our destiny.
341

Frankly, voters across this country,

when you are considering
the next president,
348
00:21:34,125 --> 00:21:38,208
there's one name
and only one name that you should speak.

And that name... is Shirley Chisholm.

00:21:44,833 --> 00:21:46,000
Shirley.
352
00:21:46,083 --> 00:21:47,291
Mmm.
353
00:21:50,125 --> 00:21:51,166
Thank you, Ron.
354
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:52,583
For?
355
00:21:52,666 --> 00:21:55,041
The endorsement, early and strong.
356
00:21:55,125 --> 00:21:58,916
Oh, Shirley, if you in this race,
you in it to win.
357
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,166
Ron Dellums is not betting against you.
358
00:22:04,875 --> 00:22:07,000
- You competing in California?
- Mmm.
359
00:22:07,541 --> 00:22:08,416
Mmm.
360
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,541
You run in California,
I will put all my capital behind you.
361
00:22:12,625 --> 00:22:15,041
You carry the Bay Area,
Oakland, San Francisco--
362
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:17,875
Ron, California is winner take all.
363
00:22:18,375 --> 00:22:21,666
I don't have the time
or resources to put into California,
364
00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:24,291
just so Muskie can take all the delegates.
365
00:22:24,375 --> 00:22:26,333
Well... word of caution.
366
00:22:28,875 --> 00:22:30,958
Walter Fauntroy might be
a problem for you.
367
00:22:33,166 --> 00:22:35,125
Little Lord Fauntroy.
368
00:22:36,416 --> 00:22:39,625
They want to run him as the favorite son
candidate in the district.
369
00:22:39,708 --> 00:22:41,541
It's gonna put you two in opposition.
370
00:22:43,791 --> 00:22:49,583
"Now, Ronald, I'm not in opposition
to Shirley, you understand?"
371
00:22:49,666 --> 00:22:55,083
"I'm simply asking that she be
a good little girl and wait her turn."
372
00:22:55,166 --> 00:22:56,250
You...
373
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:57,583
You got him down cold.
374
00:22:57,666 --> 00:22:59,666
- Mmm...
375
00:23:00,750 --> 00:23:02,958
Ron, thank you for believing.
376
00:23:04,708 --> 00:23:05,791
Shirley.
377
00:23:06,541 --> 00:23:09,708
You are like a big sister to me.
378
00:23:11,041 --> 00:23:15,333
However, this thing goes,
I'm with you till the end.
379
00:23:19,833 --> 00:23:21,041
Thank you.
380
00:23:22,166 --> 00:23:24,041
- Of course.
381
00:23:24,833 --> 00:23:27,875
I'm hungry. Go and get some McDonald's.
382
00:23:27,958 --> 00:23:29,458
You know that's my favorite.
383
00:23:29,541 --> 00:23:32,416
- May be able to go down the street.
- Strawberry shake.
384
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:33,458
Strawberry...
385
00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:37,583
{\an8}The analysts are still analyzing,
386
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:40,750
{\an8}and they don't understand that
something new is happening in America.
387
00:23:40,833 --> 00:23:43,458
{\an8}And this campaign,
the Shirley Chisholm campaign,
388
00:23:43,541 --> 00:23:45,583
is the note of the new politics.
389
00:23:45,666 --> 00:23:48,541
The rest of it
is just making tired old noises.
390
00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:54,000
{\an8}What I have said is very clear.
Shirley Chisholm views her candidacy
391
00:23:54,083 --> 00:23:56,875
{\an8}as a representation
of the right of a woman
392
00:23:56,958 --> 00:23:59,625
{\an8}and a Black to run
for the highest office in this land.
393
00:23:59,708 --> 00:24:04,333
{\an8}I have considered Senator McGovern
the best white male candidate.
394
00:24:04,416 --> 00:24:08,750
I am sick and tired of
people asking the question,
395
00:24:08,833 --> 00:24:13,541
"Mrs. Chisholm, are you serious
about running for president?"
396
00:24:14,125 --> 00:24:18,750
The fact that people,
even other women, feminists,
397
00:24:18,833 --> 00:24:21,750
can't take my campaign seriously
398
00:24:21,833 --> 00:24:27,166
is an indication of the prescribed role
this society has given to women.
399
00:24:28,125 --> 00:24:32,083
We acknowledge racial politics,
ethnic politics,
400
00:24:32,166 --> 00:24:34,500
but we are just beginning to admit
401
00:24:34,583 --> 00:24:37,583
that this country has
a problem with gender politics.
402
00:24:38,333 --> 00:24:44,416
We need to get over ourselves
and redirect the priorities of this nation
403
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:47,083
to make it a haven
for all kinds of people,
404
00:24:47,166 --> 00:24:50,458
regardless of race, color, creed, or sex.
405
00:24:54,958 --> 00:24:56,666
- Yeah.
- Yeah, Chisholm.
406
00:25:51,166 --> 00:25:53,750
I want
to be part of something.
407
00:25:53,833 --> 00:25:57,000
I see what's going on in the country.
Vietnam, all of it.
408
00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:58,583
It's...
409
00:25:59,083 --> 00:26:00,083
I'm tired.
410
00:26:00,166 --> 00:26:03,541
I am barely 25,
and I am tired of the way things are.
411
00:26:04,333 --> 00:26:06,583
Tired of the men
that we're sending to Washington.
412
00:26:06,666 --> 00:26:10,041
Humphrey and Muskie, they are better
than Nixon, but is that the standard?
413
00:26:10,125 --> 00:26:13,000
- I hope not.
- To be better than the man that's corrupt?
414
00:26:14,125 --> 00:26:17,375
And I hear you talk about people
having the power to make change.
415
00:26:18,166 --> 00:26:19,916
And I don't know where to start.
416
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,833
Are you registered to vote?
417
00:26:22,791 --> 00:26:24,666
Registered? No.
418
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:28,666
Little girl, the first thing
you've got to do is vote.
419
00:26:29,625 --> 00:26:32,541
That ain't my scene.
Voting's bourgeois politics.
420
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,291
If all you're doing
is outside yelling and screaming,
421
00:26:35,375 --> 00:26:39,208
that's all you're ever gonna be,
a yeller and a screamer.
422
00:26:39,291 --> 00:26:41,375
You have to be part of the process.
423
00:26:41,875 --> 00:26:45,291
The process doesn't exist
in politics for Black women.
424
00:26:46,250 --> 00:26:47,666
You're different.
425
00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:50,416
I saw what needed to be done,
and I did it.
426
00:26:51,083 --> 00:26:52,333
That's not different.
427
00:26:52,416 --> 00:26:53,958
That's necessary.
428
00:26:56,291 --> 00:26:58,041
I want you to come work for me.
429
00:27:00,125 --> 00:27:01,083
On your campaign?
430
00:27:01,166 --> 00:27:03,666
Or is that too bourgeois for you?
431
00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:04,583
Hmm.
432
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:07,791
I got a baby. I'm a single mother.
433
00:27:07,875 --> 00:27:09,250
- And I just need to--
- Ah.
434
00:27:09,333 --> 00:27:12,625
Then you understand
what people are facing more than most.
435
00:27:12,708 --> 00:27:15,291
You don't have to work for us full-time.
436
00:27:15,375 --> 00:27:17,958
Just when you can, how you can.
437
00:27:19,041 --> 00:27:20,541
I don't have any experience.
438
00:27:20,625 --> 00:27:22,875
Well, I don't have any moola.
439
00:27:24,666 --> 00:27:29,166
But I can offer you
the opportunity to make a difference.
440
00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:37,583
Okay.
441
00:27:38,208 --> 00:27:39,291
Okay.
442
00:27:39,916 --> 00:27:42,041
- Okay.
443
00:27:50,958 --> 00:27:52,875
- Two signatures on the next page.
- Vote's Tuesday.
444
00:27:52,958 --> 00:27:55,583
- Sign where?
- Two signatures on this page.
445
00:27:55,666 --> 00:27:58,750
- Shirley... come on.
446
00:27:58,833 --> 00:28:01,041
- You can't miss this flight.
- Yes.
447
00:28:01,125 --> 00:28:03,208
- Shirley.
- Bob Dole, Senator Dole.
448
00:28:03,291 --> 00:28:06,750
...first thing in the morning. You'll
get in late so I won't bother you tonight.
449
00:28:06,833 --> 00:28:08,583
If you need anything, I'm heading home.
450
00:29:17,208 --> 00:29:18,208
Ma'am.
451
00:29:19,166 --> 00:29:20,166
We're here.
452
00:29:33,625 --> 00:29:34,833
Conrad?
453
00:29:41,791 --> 00:29:42,916
Conrad.
454
00:29:54,500 --> 00:29:56,083
Sorry to wake you.
455
00:29:58,375 --> 00:29:59,500
You're late.
456
00:29:59,583 --> 00:30:01,125
Flight was delayed.
457
00:30:03,666 --> 00:30:05,375
Is there anything to eat?
458
00:30:06,625 --> 00:30:08,083
What's that?
459
00:30:08,166 --> 00:30:10,125
Do we have anything to eat?
460
00:30:11,041 --> 00:30:13,166
I think
there's something in the freezer.
461
00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:14,708
There's nothing warm?
462
00:30:17,541 --> 00:30:20,708
- I could run and get you something--
- From where? It's late.
463
00:30:21,750 --> 00:30:23,333
Everything's closed.
464
00:30:23,416 --> 00:30:24,416
Well...
465
00:30:27,291 --> 00:30:28,708
It's all right. I... I'll...
466
00:30:28,791 --> 00:30:30,375
I'll... I'll warm something.
467
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:33,666
I have to get up early
and meet with Stanley.
468
00:30:35,916 --> 00:30:37,666
It's all right.
469
00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:40,625
It's all right.
470
00:31:41,333 --> 00:31:46,000
The US has been holding
presidential elections nearly 200 years.
471
00:31:46,083 --> 00:31:49,000
Each one significant,
but the election this year
472
00:31:49,083 --> 00:31:53,125
has been more than a demonstration
of stability and continuity.
473
00:31:53,208 --> 00:31:57,333
A combination of factors,
reforms within the two major parties,
474
00:31:57,416 --> 00:31:59,833
a new law giving young people
the right to vote,
475
00:31:59,916 --> 00:32:03,541
and a new political awareness
on the part of groups previously inactive,
476
00:32:03,625 --> 00:32:09,125
have made 1972 a potential turning point
in American political history.
477
00:32:09,208 --> 00:32:13,083
Reaching your base,
turning them on, getting them out to vote.
478
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:15,333
That's what this campaign is all about.
479
00:32:15,416 --> 00:32:19,750
We need 1,500 delegates
to get the nomination for president.
480
00:32:19,833 --> 00:32:20,875
And...
481
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:24,375
that's how many we currently have.
482
00:32:24,458 --> 00:32:25,875
So, we got six months
483
00:32:25,958 --> 00:32:29,500
from now until the last primaries
in June to rack up some numbers.
484
00:32:29,583 --> 00:32:33,125
- How are we gonna earn those delegates?
- I got national polling--
485
00:32:33,208 --> 00:32:36,208
First two primaries are
New Hampshire and Florida on March 14th.
486
00:32:36,291 --> 00:32:38,000
Wouldn't be in the race without Florida.
487
00:32:38,083 --> 00:32:40,250
When asked,
"What do you know about Shirley Chisholm?"
488
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:43,000
- New Hampshire?
- Forget about New Hampshire.
489
00:32:43,083 --> 00:32:44,375
Muskie's got it sewn up.
490
00:32:44,458 --> 00:32:47,041
According to papers,
Muskie's got the nomination sewn up.
491
00:32:47,125 --> 00:32:50,166
46% of the respondents
knew that you were Black.
492
00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:51,583
38% knew you were a woman--
493
00:32:51,666 --> 00:32:54,083
38%? The name doesn't give it away?
494
00:32:54,166 --> 00:32:57,458
'Cause Shirley is one of those names
you see that goes either way.
495
00:32:57,541 --> 00:32:59,375
- Like Chris or Leslie.
- Alabama?
496
00:32:59,458 --> 00:33:01,666
- Shirley is not like Chris or Leslie.
- No.
497
00:33:01,750 --> 00:33:02,916
- Arizona?
- Mm-mmm.
498
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,833
Point is, a plurality of the electorate
doesn't even know who you are.
499
00:33:06,916 --> 00:33:07,791
Ohio?
500
00:33:07,875 --> 00:33:10,875
Carl Stokes would attack me
to death if I get into Ohio.
501
00:33:10,958 --> 00:33:12,958
- Colorado?
- May I finish my thought?
502
00:33:13,833 --> 00:33:16,083
Your lack of recognition is a challenge,
503
00:33:16,166 --> 00:33:18,916
but it also means voters
haven't formed an opinion yet--
504
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,958
- Colorado?
- The reform wing is in the minority.
505
00:33:22,041 --> 00:33:24,458
- We should look to get on the ballot--
- Shirley.
506
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:27,875
We shouldn't actively campaign
in Colorado.
507
00:33:27,958 --> 00:33:30,208
Opinions about you
are going to be formed in debates.
508
00:33:30,291 --> 00:33:31,458
They're going to be critical.
509
00:33:31,541 --> 00:33:35,166
Shirley's a hell of a debater, man.
Ran circles around James Farmer.
510
00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:36,875
Farmer wasn't a career politician.
511
00:33:36,958 --> 00:33:39,833
The rest of these boys talk shit
faster than I can make it.
512
00:33:39,916 --> 00:33:42,541
- California?
513
00:33:43,791 --> 00:33:44,625
Oh...
514
00:33:44,708 --> 00:33:45,833
California?
515
00:33:46,875 --> 00:33:48,541
- No.
- Shirley!
516
00:33:48,625 --> 00:33:52,875
- Know how many colleges there are?
- California's a winner-take-all state.
517
00:33:52,958 --> 00:33:55,208
If we put our time
and energy into California,
518
00:33:55,291 --> 00:33:56,791
we'll walk away with nothing.
519
00:33:56,875 --> 00:34:00,416
It's a big, shiny object
that'll leave us distracted and defeated.
520
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:01,375
No.
521
00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:05,375
Shirley, right now
your entire national campaign
522
00:34:05,458 --> 00:34:07,750
is built on one state, Florida.
523
00:34:21,083 --> 00:34:23,416
That's our campaign.
We'll build from there.
524
00:34:26,916 --> 00:34:29,250
And they can talk shit all they want.
525
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:32,791
Why are more and more millions
of Americans turning to Governor Wallace?
526
00:34:32,875 --> 00:34:35,458
Take a walk in your street
or park tonight.
527
00:34:37,416 --> 00:34:40,375
{\an8}There's a lot of talk
these days about liberalism.
528
00:34:40,458 --> 00:34:43,791
{\an8}Well, what did liberalism do for America?
529
00:34:43,875 --> 00:34:48,666
{\an8}Brought us drug addiction in our streets,
brought a breakdown of law and order.
530
00:34:48,750 --> 00:34:53,208
{\an8}And now this idea they have of busing
our children to achieve racial balance.
531
00:34:53,291 --> 00:34:57,375
{\an8}That's their way of taking away your right
to raise your child how you see fit.
532
00:34:57,458 --> 00:35:01,208
{\an8} Why are more and more millions
of Americans turning to Governor Wallace?
533
00:35:01,291 --> 00:35:03,916
Follow as your children
are bused across town.
534
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,166
Busing is an ineffective solution
to school integration.
535
00:35:07,250 --> 00:35:10,750
It is a burden carried
by the same children we're trying to help.
536
00:35:10,833 --> 00:35:12,375
That is a great answer for Florida.
537
00:35:12,458 --> 00:35:14,125
- But you can't say...
-"Can't"?
538
00:35:14,208 --> 00:35:17,416
...that you don't support busing
in Massachusetts or New York.
539
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,416
It does sound
like something Wallace would say.
540
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:22,458
What's your position on abortion?
541
00:35:22,541 --> 00:35:25,000
I am an ardent advocate
of family planning.
542
00:35:25,083 --> 00:35:26,750
- I am aware, however...
- Shirley--
543
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:28,625
...that for a number of reasons...
544
00:35:28,708 --> 00:35:30,375
- Shirley--
- ...birth control is not enough.
545
00:35:30,458 --> 00:35:32,791
- Shirl--
- Contraceptive devices fail, and--
546
00:35:32,875 --> 00:35:34,625
Shirley, you can't say all that.
547
00:35:34,708 --> 00:35:37,833
- I'm sorry, Stanley. "Can't"?
- Too much nuance.
548
00:35:37,916 --> 00:35:39,500
- Mac.
- I'm being honest.
549
00:35:39,583 --> 00:35:42,416
Your answer needs to be more direct.
The same with busing.
550
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:46,750
Well, that's my answer on one side
of the Mason-Dixon or the other.
551
00:35:46,833 --> 00:35:49,583
And I am not leaving out the nuance.
552
00:35:49,666 --> 00:35:52,000
Hey! Hot off the press.
553
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:56,041
Before we do all that, can we please
just finish up what we've started here?
554
00:35:56,125 --> 00:35:57,250
These came out good.
555
00:35:57,333 --> 00:35:59,666
- They did.
- I'm leaving for Florida in the morning.
556
00:35:59,750 --> 00:36:02,583
By the time you all get there,
I'll have volunteers in place.
557
00:36:02,666 --> 00:36:04,333
I'll have all the venues booked.
558
00:36:04,416 --> 00:36:07,750
We're gonna be starting
with a speaking engagement at FSU.
559
00:36:07,833 --> 00:36:11,291
This trip has got to run
like a Swiss watch, son.
560
00:36:11,375 --> 00:36:13,291
We have to have
a strong showing in this primary.
561
00:36:13,375 --> 00:36:15,708
- I'll have it handled.
- Thank you, Robert.
562
00:36:16,625 --> 00:36:17,791
Of course.
563
00:36:17,875 --> 00:36:18,875
{\an8}All right.
564
00:36:19,625 --> 00:36:21,333
{\an8}- I'll see you in Florida.
- All right.
565
00:36:51,833 --> 00:36:56,250
Twenty-two primaries still to go
in this campaign '72.
566
00:36:56,333 --> 00:37:00,166
The politicians now are shifting
their efforts from New Hampshire's snow
567
00:37:00,250 --> 00:37:01,708
to Florida's sand.
568
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,791
You need to decide if you're going to
this National Black Political Convention
569
00:37:06,875 --> 00:37:10,041
in Gary, Indiana. There'll be leaders
from every cross-section.
570
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:12,583
- Radical, faith-based, conservative--
- We'll see.
571
00:37:12,666 --> 00:37:16,166
I got an invitation for you to speak
down here at the Pearly Club.
572
00:37:16,250 --> 00:37:17,500
That's an exclusive club.
573
00:37:17,583 --> 00:37:18,958
Exclusive white?
574
00:37:19,041 --> 00:37:20,208
Exclusive male.
575
00:37:20,291 --> 00:37:23,125
You'd be the first female speaker
they've ever had.
576
00:37:23,208 --> 00:37:24,958
A white men's club here in Florida?
577
00:37:25,041 --> 00:37:29,208
But you're not gonna attend
a Black political convention in Gary?
578
00:37:29,291 --> 00:37:31,958
Listen, why don't we just
table all the Gary talk
579
00:37:32,041 --> 00:37:33,958
and let her just get some sleep?
580
00:37:34,458 --> 00:37:36,208
We'll pick it up tomorrow.
581
00:37:37,208 --> 00:37:40,208
Hello. I'm calling on behalf
of Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm.
582
00:37:40,291 --> 00:37:43,833
The congresswoman will be holding
events while campaigning in Florida...
583
00:37:43,916 --> 00:37:45,416
Your vote can change America.
584
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,791
These fundraisers are an opportunity
to meet Shirley face-to-face.
585
00:37:50,208 --> 00:37:53,291
And I call to you, the youth of America,
586
00:37:53,375 --> 00:37:56,166
to take part in the fight for the future.
587
00:37:56,250 --> 00:37:59,208
Those of you who are able to vote
for the very first time
588
00:37:59,291 --> 00:38:02,208
must use your voices
and let the politicians know
589
00:38:02,291 --> 00:38:05,041
that the government
belongs to all the people.
590
00:38:05,125 --> 00:38:06,958
- Yes!
591
00:38:07,041 --> 00:38:08,250
{\an8}Register to vote!
592
00:38:08,333 --> 00:38:10,958
{\an8}If all you are is on the outside
yelling and screaming,
593
00:38:11,041 --> 00:38:13,916
{\an8}then that's all you'll ever be,
a yeller and a screamer.
594
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,291
Be a part of the process!
595
00:38:16,333 --> 00:38:18,958
US foreign policy
should avoid taking sides
596
00:38:19,041 --> 00:38:22,083
and focus on the humanitarian crisis
happening in the Middle East.
597
00:38:22,166 --> 00:38:24,291
What's your take on the Black Panthers?
598
00:38:24,375 --> 00:38:27,166
Well, it's a shame
the Black Panthers are necessary,
599
00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:29,458
but I understand why they are.
600
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,958
But it's important for us
to get the vote out to young people.
601
00:38:33,041 --> 00:38:35,791
It's the first election
that people who are 18 get to vote.
602
00:38:35,875 --> 00:38:39,750
This isn't just about
a fair wage. This is about our lives.
603
00:38:40,833 --> 00:38:44,125
- You support busing.
- Are you asking me or telling me?
604
00:38:45,250 --> 00:38:47,500
My opponents is
twisting themselves into pretzels,
605
00:38:47,583 --> 00:38:49,625
trying to explain
where they stand on busing.
606
00:38:49,708 --> 00:38:51,083
I don't support busing.
607
00:38:51,166 --> 00:38:54,750
It's an artificial solution
to the segregation problem.
608
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:57,208
Open housing is the real answer.
609
00:38:57,291 --> 00:38:59,541
But as long as the problem exists,
610
00:38:59,625 --> 00:39:02,083
an artificial solution
is better than none at all.
611
00:39:02,166 --> 00:39:05,041
One of the most
active candidates of campaign '72
612
00:39:05,125 --> 00:39:07,083
is Shirley Chisholm of Brooklyn.
613
00:39:07,166 --> 00:39:08,083
I love you, Shirley!
614
00:39:08,166 --> 00:39:10,416
I don't need your love, darling.
I need your vote.
615
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:13,125
I'm gonna vote for you.
You or George Wallace.
616
00:39:13,208 --> 00:39:14,708
All right. Well...
617
00:39:14,791 --> 00:39:17,750
I'll say this. Shirley Chisholm
is the only other candidate
618
00:39:17,833 --> 00:39:21,000
who says the same thing
in the South that she says in the North.
619
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:24,416
Shirley Chisholm
will never be president.
620
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,333
This is America.
621
00:39:26,416 --> 00:39:28,583
{\an8} That woman
needs to get out of the race.
622
00:39:28,666 --> 00:39:31,291
{\an8} She bristles at the suggestion
she step aside,
623
00:39:31,375 --> 00:39:34,875
lest she draw liberal votes away
from other presidential contenders.
624
00:39:35,458 --> 00:39:38,750
Why is it that it has to
always be white males, white males,
625
00:39:38,833 --> 00:39:40,875
white males, white males, white males?
626
00:39:43,375 --> 00:39:47,333
If you can't support me,
or you can't endorse me,
627
00:39:47,416 --> 00:39:48,750
get out of my way.
628
00:39:48,833 --> 00:39:51,041
You do your thing, and let me do mine.
629
00:39:51,125 --> 00:39:54,750
You go to hell, you Black bitch!
You fucking Black bitch! I'll kill you!
630
00:39:54,833 --> 00:39:57,458
You fucking Black bitch!
I'll fuckin' kill you!
631
00:41:13,291 --> 00:41:14,416
Police got him.
632
00:41:16,583 --> 00:41:17,791
He was just some...
633
00:41:19,125 --> 00:41:20,500
some crazy.
634
00:41:22,125 --> 00:41:24,750
Hell of a world, eh?
People like that.
635
00:41:29,208 --> 00:41:31,875
Anyway, the police got him now.
636
00:41:33,541 --> 00:41:34,833
Where were you?
637
00:41:36,708 --> 00:41:39,125
He was that close to me.
638
00:41:41,541 --> 00:41:44,125
You're supposed to be my security.
639
00:41:45,458 --> 00:41:47,541
You're supposed to protect me.
640
00:41:48,416 --> 00:41:50,125
Where were you?
641
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:56,625
I try as hard as I can
to be the man you want.
642
00:41:58,083 --> 00:42:01,000
Attentive, and mindful, and...
643
00:42:02,375 --> 00:42:05,375
But always... out of the way
and off to the side.
644
00:42:05,916 --> 00:42:07,166
I do it.
645
00:42:07,250 --> 00:42:10,750
I'm happy to do it because I know
how important all this is to you.
646
00:42:10,833 --> 00:42:12,250
It's not just for me.
647
00:42:12,333 --> 00:42:15,208
I know
all the good that you can do.
648
00:42:16,208 --> 00:42:17,625
So I'll be your shadow.
649
00:42:19,583 --> 00:42:25,583
Because I know, for whatever reason,
a shadow of a man is what you want.
650
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,666
But don't get upset with me
when I'm a little too good at it.
651
00:43:08,125 --> 00:43:11,208
It has been said,
"Behind every great man is a great woman."
652
00:43:11,291 --> 00:43:13,541
Behind Shirley Chisholm
is Conrad Chisholm,
653
00:43:13,625 --> 00:43:17,416
an investigator for the City Bureau
of Medical Services.
654
00:43:18,208 --> 00:43:20,291
You two have been married for 19 years.
655
00:43:20,875 --> 00:43:22,625
How would you describe each other?
656
00:43:25,541 --> 00:43:26,875
Well, I tell you.
657
00:43:27,916 --> 00:43:33,000
I remember a time when she was introduced
at a dinner by the MC.
658
00:43:33,083 --> 00:43:37,250
And it was very fitting, to me,
659
00:43:37,333 --> 00:43:42,083
that he described her
as 100 pounds of nuclear energy.
660
00:43:42,916 --> 00:43:45,083
And I think it was very appropriate.
661
00:43:46,083 --> 00:43:51,708
Well, I would describe my husband as
662
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:54,500
200 pounds of patience.
663
00:43:56,458 --> 00:43:58,958
My husband is a remarkable man.
664
00:43:59,916 --> 00:44:02,375
I can truthfully say
665
00:44:02,458 --> 00:44:07,416
that I would not have
been able to reach the top
666
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:10,125
unless I had a very understanding mate.
667
00:44:11,458 --> 00:44:15,375
And indeed, I know it has been
most difficult for him, occasionally.
668
00:44:16,708 --> 00:44:21,375
Well... I've had to sacrifice quite a bit,
669
00:44:21,458 --> 00:44:27,250
but I enjoy sacrificing it
for what she's doing.
670
00:44:30,166 --> 00:44:32,041
Thank you both very much.
671
00:44:45,208 --> 00:44:49,625
- ♪ Let me tells you what happened to me ♪
672
00:44:50,250 --> 00:44:51,916
It's an embarrassment.
673
00:44:52,833 --> 00:44:55,291
I mean, this is
what the campaign's come to,
674
00:44:55,375 --> 00:44:57,208
Shirley and Wallace.
675
00:44:57,291 --> 00:45:01,625
Shirley got blown out in Florida,
less than 1% of the vote in Illinois.
676
00:45:01,708 --> 00:45:03,000
Same in Wisconsin.
677
00:45:03,083 --> 00:45:05,291
Less than 1% of the vote.
678
00:45:06,166 --> 00:45:07,666
And no delegates.
679
00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:10,208
You can spare Shirley the numbers.
680
00:45:10,291 --> 00:45:13,583
Three months from the convention,
and we're moving backward.
681
00:45:13,666 --> 00:45:14,666
Shirley...
682
00:45:15,875 --> 00:45:19,958
I dig her... speaking-truth thing,
but that doesn't get you votes.
683
00:45:20,041 --> 00:45:22,750
Stanley, what do you want?
684
00:45:23,750 --> 00:45:27,125
I want you to help me help Shirley.
I can't manage from the bleachers.
685
00:45:28,291 --> 00:45:30,666
You want me to help you sideline Shirley?
686
00:45:30,750 --> 00:45:33,208
Oh, hell no, Mac.
687
00:45:33,291 --> 00:45:34,875
You know me better.
688
00:45:34,958 --> 00:45:39,958
We just need to compartmentalize her...
so we can better guide the campaign.
689
00:45:40,041 --> 00:45:40,875
Just--
690
00:45:40,958 --> 00:45:43,875
Just guide it. Guide Shirley for Shirley.
691
00:45:45,375 --> 00:45:48,166
You know my history with Shirley?
692
00:45:48,833 --> 00:45:53,000
You knew her from, uh, when you formed
the Bedford-Stuyvesant Political League.
693
00:45:54,708 --> 00:45:57,166
She was still a senior
at Brooklyn College.
694
00:45:57,250 --> 00:46:00,416
Taught Shirley everything
I knew about politics.
695
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:02,791
How to read people
and the games they play.
696
00:46:02,875 --> 00:46:05,375
How the system works,
how some people are kept out
697
00:46:05,458 --> 00:46:06,833
and others kept in.
698
00:46:07,791 --> 00:46:10,666
And after I taught Shirley all that,
699
00:46:11,708 --> 00:46:16,000
she turns around and runs against me
for president of my own league.
700
00:46:16,083 --> 00:46:17,583
You still work with her.
701
00:46:18,166 --> 00:46:19,541
You forgive her?
702
00:46:22,625 --> 00:46:24,000
Nothing to forgive.
703
00:46:26,166 --> 00:46:28,166
Shirley believes in the necessary.
704
00:46:29,208 --> 00:46:33,708
At the time, she thought
it was necessary for her to replace me.
705
00:46:36,083 --> 00:46:41,916
That's something to remember
when you talk about guiding Shirley.
706
00:46:55,250 --> 00:46:57,125
♪ You drink your whiskey ♪
707
00:46:59,041 --> 00:47:01,708
- ♪ I'll drink my wine... ♪
- Congresswoman Chisholm.
708
00:47:01,791 --> 00:47:04,208
- Walter.
- It sure is good to see you.
709
00:47:05,291 --> 00:47:07,333
May I get you a menu?
710
00:47:07,416 --> 00:47:10,666
No, I won't be staying that long.
711
00:47:10,750 --> 00:47:13,083
Oh... That's too bad.
712
00:47:13,875 --> 00:47:19,250
A meal is so much better...
when it's enjoyed with friends.
713
00:47:19,333 --> 00:47:20,208
Mmm.
714
00:47:21,125 --> 00:47:23,375
Well, Shirley.
715
00:47:25,791 --> 00:47:26,791
What can I say?
716
00:47:27,291 --> 00:47:29,958
It's a shame
you didn't do better in Florida.
717
00:47:30,041 --> 00:47:30,958
Hmm.
718
00:47:31,541 --> 00:47:34,500
But my, my. You did get 4% of the vote.
719
00:47:35,791 --> 00:47:38,208
Well, almost 4%.
720
00:47:39,458 --> 00:47:41,958
- Could have used a few more endorsements.
- Mmm.
721
00:47:42,541 --> 00:47:46,166
The whole Congressional Black Caucus,
and the only ones I have behind me
722
00:47:46,250 --> 00:47:47,875
are Mitchell, Conyers, and Dellums.
723
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,583
I can hardly endorse you
when I'm running myself.
724
00:47:51,666 --> 00:47:56,416
As a favorite son candidate
in the district, that's it, Walter.
725
00:47:56,500 --> 00:47:58,666
You here, and Stokes in Ohio.
726
00:47:59,250 --> 00:48:00,708
That don't add up to much.
727
00:48:01,291 --> 00:48:06,375
But you want to tell the people,
our people, who should represent them.
728
00:48:07,083 --> 00:48:09,500
You're no better
than the fat cat white boys.
729
00:48:11,166 --> 00:48:12,166
Shirley.
730
00:48:15,625 --> 00:48:18,375
I made the march, Selma to Montgomery.
731
00:48:18,458 --> 00:48:21,375
I learned lessons of the flesh
on the front lines with Martin.
732
00:48:21,458 --> 00:48:25,875
So I'd appreciate
if you didn't suppose about me for me.
733
00:48:26,625 --> 00:48:28,416
How can I help you, Walter?
734
00:48:28,958 --> 00:48:31,625
I want you
to drop out of the primary in DC.
735
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000
- Ron warned me.
- Ron Dellums is a West Coast dilettante.
736
00:48:36,083 --> 00:48:38,958
Willie Brown is the power in California.
737
00:48:39,833 --> 00:48:41,458
Don't let Ron get in your head.
738
00:48:41,541 --> 00:48:44,041
Now, if you stay in the primary,
739
00:48:44,125 --> 00:48:46,791
you and me are only gonna
end up splitting the vote.
740
00:48:46,875 --> 00:48:49,750
Splitting the delegates
doesn't help you, doesn't help me.
741
00:48:49,833 --> 00:48:52,625
And the best way for me to help you
is for me to drop out?
742
00:48:52,708 --> 00:48:55,166
Only in DC,
where I'm on the ballot.
743
00:48:55,250 --> 00:48:58,583
Now, you and me both know
the nomination for president
744
00:48:58,666 --> 00:49:02,000
isn't gonna be decided
in the first round at the convention.
745
00:49:02,958 --> 00:49:04,625
Now, after that first round,
746
00:49:05,166 --> 00:49:10,291
after I get my... pound of flesh
out of the Democratic Party,
747
00:49:10,875 --> 00:49:14,083
I will release all my delegates to you
with the instruction to vote
748
00:49:14,166 --> 00:49:15,500
as you tell them to vote.
749
00:49:15,583 --> 00:49:18,041
I swear to God, Walter.
750
00:49:18,125 --> 00:49:20,333
Just more backroom politics.
751
00:49:20,416 --> 00:49:22,750
Nothing wrong with politics
when you're a politician.
752
00:49:29,416 --> 00:49:34,125
After the first round,
you will get all my delegates.
753
00:49:37,041 --> 00:49:40,791
{\an8}You literally have my word.
754
00:49:41,916 --> 00:49:43,583
Now, do I have yours?
755
00:49:47,833 --> 00:49:49,333
I said yes.
756
00:49:49,958 --> 00:49:52,416
What else was I supposed to say?
757
00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:54,625
He made sense. He gave me his word.
758
00:49:54,708 --> 00:49:56,791
I... just don't...
759
00:49:57,583 --> 00:50:00,000
Look.
760
00:50:00,083 --> 00:50:01,916
Walter's a good man,
761
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,208
but Walter's always going...
762
00:50:07,250 --> 00:50:09,000
So you think I made a mistake.
763
00:50:09,083 --> 00:50:13,458
Walter has a tendency to disappoint,
and when it happens, it happens.
764
00:50:13,541 --> 00:50:15,291
That's all.
765
00:50:16,958 --> 00:50:18,625
I got my ears open, Shirley.
766
00:50:18,708 --> 00:50:22,083
If I hear anything you should know,
I will be the first one to tell you.
767
00:50:22,166 --> 00:50:24,875
- Thank you, Ron.
- Of course.
768
00:50:24,958 --> 00:50:26,250
Of course.
769
00:50:26,333 --> 00:50:29,041
You just worry
about being the next president.
770
00:50:29,875 --> 00:50:30,833
Hmm.
771
00:50:32,416 --> 00:50:33,958
So I need to get out the vote.
772
00:50:34,041 --> 00:50:36,750
If you want to mobilize students
on the campuses, you need to...
773
00:50:36,833 --> 00:50:39,500
- I'll tell you what my answer is.
- Before you say no--
774
00:50:39,583 --> 00:50:41,625
- I already said no.
- How many could we get?
775
00:50:41,708 --> 00:50:43,166
Well, how many do we need?
776
00:50:43,250 --> 00:50:46,250
- You told me "I'll think about it."
- As many as we can get.
777
00:50:46,333 --> 00:50:48,416
And I thought about it.
778
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:51,375
Jesse Jackson will be there.
Louis Farrakhan. Bobby Seale...
779
00:50:51,458 --> 00:50:53,916
- They weren't gonna endorse me.
- How do you spell that?
780
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,916
- P-O-M-O-N-A.
- They'll never endorse me.
781
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,625
Shirley, you need some traction.
782
00:50:57,708 --> 00:51:00,750
You need to capitalize on your deal
with Walt Fauntroy.
783
00:51:00,833 --> 00:51:03,750
If you're looking for an endorsement,
when I get back to California,
784
00:51:03,833 --> 00:51:06,375
I could maybe talk
to the people with the Black Panthers.
785
00:51:06,458 --> 00:51:08,791
Oh Jesus. Yeah, let's bring
the radicals on board.
786
00:51:08,875 --> 00:51:10,875
That'll play great in the Midwest.
787
00:51:10,958 --> 00:51:12,000
- Shirley--
- Thank you.
788
00:51:12,083 --> 00:51:15,166
The guy who, um,
created Star Trek actually went there.
789
00:51:15,250 --> 00:51:16,416
Not-- Not even joking.
790
00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:19,541
- ...this event in Gary...
- Stanley, I am not going.
791
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:32,916
Um, Barbara.
792
00:51:33,458 --> 00:51:35,375
Let her have her lunch, please.
793
00:51:36,125 --> 00:51:37,041
Please.
794
00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:39,625
Yeah...
795
00:51:39,708 --> 00:51:42,958
- You know what? So...
- So, we're going to California.
796
00:51:44,250 --> 00:51:45,375
Five thousand.
797
00:51:46,875 --> 00:51:48,458
Barbara. Barbara. Barb--!
798
00:51:48,541 --> 00:51:52,125
- Shirley, I want to go to the convention.
- I told her you were eating.
799
00:51:52,708 --> 00:51:54,375
It's all right, Arthur.
800
00:51:55,625 --> 00:51:57,750
I want to go to the convention in Gary.
801
00:51:57,833 --> 00:52:01,041
- I can... I can be your representative.
- No.
802
00:52:01,125 --> 00:52:04,666
I want to do something big
for this campaign before I go to Oakland.
803
00:52:04,750 --> 00:52:08,708
- Stanley said that you have to be there.
- I don't have to do anything.
804
00:52:08,791 --> 00:52:11,083
Why don't you want to go?
What are you so afraid of?
805
00:52:11,916 --> 00:52:13,375
Little girl.
806
00:52:16,791 --> 00:52:17,958
Sit down.
807
00:52:20,958 --> 00:52:22,208
Sit down.
808
00:52:34,041 --> 00:52:37,500
Let me tell you something
about this convention.
809
00:52:37,583 --> 00:52:41,125
They don't have
one single Black woman invited to speak.
810
00:52:41,208 --> 00:52:43,250
Not one. Not Coretta.
811
00:52:43,916 --> 00:52:47,625
Betty Shabazz, they got her
introducing Jesse Jackson.
812
00:52:47,708 --> 00:52:52,083
They have made it clear they don't care
what Black women have to say.
813
00:52:52,750 --> 00:52:53,833
They just...
814
00:52:54,333 --> 00:52:57,041
- That's just how they are.
-"They"?
815
00:52:57,125 --> 00:52:59,833
Men, always plottin' and plannin'.
816
00:53:00,416 --> 00:53:02,916
I see these men and the games they play.
817
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,708
Black, white, they're all nothing
but hard-mout goats.
818
00:53:08,375 --> 00:53:09,416
"Hard-mout"?
819
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:10,458
Ah...
820
00:53:10,541 --> 00:53:13,500
I slip into my Bajan roots
when I lose my religion.
821
00:53:18,833 --> 00:53:20,166
Politics makes you do that?
822
00:53:23,041 --> 00:53:24,083
Then...
823
00:53:25,375 --> 00:53:27,333
I don't think politics is for me.
824
00:53:36,083 --> 00:53:36,958
Shirley!
825
00:53:37,833 --> 00:53:38,708
{\an8}We need to talk.
826
00:53:38,791 --> 00:53:40,916
{\an8}- She has to go on.
- We need to talk to Shirley.
827
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,458
Mac, we've got
an auditorium full of students.
828
00:53:43,541 --> 00:53:46,041
Tell them she'll be out.
We need to talk to Shirley.
829
00:53:50,541 --> 00:53:53,416
The networks just came out
with their debate schedules.
830
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:55,125
You're not on them. None of them.
831
00:53:55,208 --> 00:53:57,000
They're saying
you don't meet the threshold--
832
00:53:57,083 --> 00:53:59,875
Whose threshold?
We were counting on these debates.
833
00:53:59,958 --> 00:54:01,166
They don't consider you--
834
00:54:01,250 --> 00:54:02,583
I filled out my paperwork.
835
00:54:02,666 --> 00:54:03,833
I've entered primaries.
836
00:54:03,916 --> 00:54:06,833
I'm polling above Lindsay,
McCarthy, Yorty.
837
00:54:06,916 --> 00:54:08,750
The networks don't care.
838
00:54:08,833 --> 00:54:11,416
- No other way to see it.
- Mrs. C, you have to go on.
839
00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:24,666
Sue them.
840
00:54:27,666 --> 00:54:28,875
Sue the networks?
841
00:54:28,958 --> 00:54:32,791
FCC mandates broadcasters
provide equal opportunity
842
00:54:32,875 --> 00:54:35,083
for any opposing political candidates.
843
00:54:35,166 --> 00:54:36,041
Any.
844
00:54:36,125 --> 00:54:38,625
So, you get a lawyer,
you get some paperwork,
845
00:54:38,708 --> 00:54:40,625
and you remind the networks
846
00:54:40,708 --> 00:54:43,125
that their licenses come
with a legal obligation.
847
00:54:47,333 --> 00:54:51,166
We got no money for a campaign,
but we're gonna sue the networks.
848
00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:52,833
- Hello.
849
00:54:54,625 --> 00:54:57,750
- What's going on? What did I miss?
- Hello. Thank you.
850
00:55:02,416 --> 00:55:05,291
Aren't you a lawyer?
851
00:55:05,375 --> 00:55:08,083
I'm studying to be a lawyer. What? Why?
852
00:55:12,125 --> 00:55:14,375
- You wanna sue the networks?
- Yes.
853
00:55:14,458 --> 00:55:17,916
The three pillars of
the Fourth Estate? ABC, NBC, CBS?
854
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,333
Yeah. They're in violation
of their mandate, all three of them are.
855
00:55:21,416 --> 00:55:25,375
And them doing business as usual
just doesn't cut it. Not in this election.
856
00:55:28,041 --> 00:55:30,916
Look, you try to take on the big three,
857
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,708
the money, the lawyers they have,
that whole scene,
858
00:55:33,791 --> 00:55:35,166
you're gonna lose in court,
859
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:36,916
which is good.
860
00:55:37,541 --> 00:55:39,041
- That's good?
- It's good.
861
00:55:39,750 --> 00:55:42,333
No one's ever challenged
how the mandate's applied.
862
00:55:42,416 --> 00:55:44,541
If you lose, the case goes
to appellate court.
863
00:55:44,625 --> 00:55:47,583
You win there, if you can win there,
864
00:55:47,666 --> 00:55:50,458
you codify equal time as law, for like...
865
00:55:52,291 --> 00:55:53,833
Forever.
866
00:55:55,750 --> 00:55:59,583
But if we lose the appeal,
then nothing gets better,
867
00:55:59,666 --> 00:56:02,125
and we've made the whole situation worse.
868
00:56:02,208 --> 00:56:05,500
You'll have made it a lot worse. So...
869
00:56:07,208 --> 00:56:10,083
Before you take this to court,
make sure you've got a good case.
870
00:56:10,916 --> 00:56:13,291
You'd better make sure
you have a hell of a case.
871
00:56:16,625 --> 00:56:17,583

The New York Times
is going to do a profile piece on me.
878
00:57:14,875 --> 00:57:17,083
They would like to speak to the family.
879
00:57:17,666 --> 00:57:19,833
They would like to know
that you support me.
880
00:57:19,916 --> 00:57:21,583
Some things go without saying.
881
00:57:22,625 --> 00:57:25,083
In politics, some things need to be said.
882
00:57:28,625 --> 00:57:30,791
What is it you're doing
with this campaign?
883
00:57:31,500 --> 00:57:34,125
All people do, Shirley,
they talk about you.
884
00:57:34,208 --> 00:57:35,458
They say you're crazy.
885
00:57:35,541 --> 00:57:37,208
I don't care what they say.
886
00:57:37,291 --> 00:57:39,708
Because you're not the one
that has to hear it.
887
00:57:39,791 --> 00:57:42,625
You're not the one people ask,
"What's wrong with your sister?"
888
00:57:42,708 --> 00:57:46,708
"How come your sister bad behave?"
We don't do these things, but you--
889
00:57:46,791 --> 00:57:48,166
-"We"?
- But you going--
890
00:57:48,250 --> 00:57:49,083
Black women?
891
00:57:49,166 --> 00:57:52,041
- You gonna humiliate yourself. Us.
- The St. Hill sisters?
892
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:54,916
You just...
893
00:57:56,166 --> 00:57:58,000
It's just how Papa raised you.
894
00:57:59,125 --> 00:58:01,208
- It's the truth.
- Hmm.
895
00:58:01,291 --> 00:58:02,583
So I don't blame you.
896
00:58:02,666 --> 00:58:05,041
No, you blame our father.
897
00:58:05,125 --> 00:58:06,458
He had four daughters.
898
00:58:07,083 --> 00:58:07,958
Four.
899
00:58:08,875 --> 00:58:11,708
But when he died,
he left you the little money he had.
900
00:58:11,791 --> 00:58:13,333
You were treated differently.
901
00:58:14,166 --> 00:58:15,333
And now you think...
902
00:58:15,916 --> 00:58:17,583
Now you think you're special.
903
00:58:19,125 --> 00:58:20,958
That's how Papa was with you.
904
00:58:21,041 --> 00:58:22,625
He made you believe things.
905
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:24,375
They aren't true.
906
00:58:24,916 --> 00:58:28,208
He made me believe in myself.
Regardless of what people think--
907
00:58:28,291 --> 00:58:29,750
You have no regard?
908
00:58:29,833 --> 00:58:32,750
You don't care what
this campaign does to your friends?
909
00:58:32,833 --> 00:58:35,833
- I can do what is necessary.
- Family? That's what Papa would want?
910
00:58:35,916 --> 00:58:38,000
You are pushing us away over nothing.
911
00:58:41,625 --> 00:58:44,916
Muriel, is that
what you think my campaign is?
912
00:58:45,583 --> 00:58:47,208
Is that all it is to you?
913
00:58:48,125 --> 00:58:49,166
Nothing?
914
00:58:49,250 --> 00:58:53,041
Nothing is what you make
the rest of us feel like.
915
00:58:59,541 --> 00:59:00,750
No, Shirley.
916
00:59:02,583 --> 00:59:04,791

01:00:09,875 --> 01:00:11,750
And it was all small donations.
929
01:00:11,833 --> 01:00:13,125
Five dollars, two dollars.
930
01:00:13,208 --> 01:00:15,916
They show up,
claim to be from the Chisholm campaign,
931
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,833
throw a party,
pour the liquor, steal the donations.
932
01:00:19,625 --> 01:00:21,916
- People want their money back.
- I don't blame them.
933
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,541
- They want their money back from us.
- From the campaign?
934
01:00:25,625 --> 01:00:27,000
We didn't steal the money.
935
01:00:27,083 --> 01:00:29,625
Somebody did, but we're taking the blame.
936
01:00:29,708 --> 01:00:30,708
Jesus!
937
01:00:31,750 --> 01:00:32,916
I'm done.
938
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,291
This isn't a campaign.
939
01:00:34,375 --> 01:00:35,500
It's a joke.
940
01:00:36,125 --> 01:00:38,791
You have no organization.
You have no infrastructure.
941
01:00:38,875 --> 01:00:41,291
You got people stealing
out from under your noses.
942
01:00:41,375 --> 01:00:42,625
Stanley, come on, now.
943
01:00:42,708 --> 01:00:45,541
This magical voter coalition
doesn't exist.
944
01:00:45,625 --> 01:00:48,375
When this blows all up,
the only thing anybody's gonna remember
945
01:00:48,458 --> 01:00:52,541
is that there were a bunch of Black folks
who made fools of themselves.
946
01:00:53,875 --> 01:00:55,916
Honest to God,
if you had any self-respect--
947
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,250
If you got with the program, instead of--
948
01:00:58,333 --> 01:01:01,000
I don't need an Ivy League white boy
givin' me lip!
949
01:01:01,083 --> 01:01:02,708
Wait a goddamn minute!
950
01:01:02,791 --> 01:01:05,708
- Who the hell you think you talkin' to?
- It's not worth it!
951
01:01:05,791 --> 01:01:07,125
- You're pathetic.
- Stanley.
952
01:01:07,208 --> 01:01:09,458
- You're an embarrassment.
- Stanley. Stanley!
953
01:01:09,541 --> 01:01:11,333
Can we talk, please?
954
01:01:14,416 --> 01:01:15,291
Yeah.
955
01:01:18,375 --> 01:01:19,625
Yeah, of course.
956
01:01:20,666 --> 01:01:22,000
I'm sorry.
957
01:01:28,750 --> 01:01:32,458
Shirley, I am sorry, but somebody has
got to be the one to tell these people--
958
01:01:32,541 --> 01:01:35,750
Who the hell do you think you are,
talking to my people like that?
959
01:01:35,833 --> 01:01:37,708
They're not your servants.
960
01:01:37,791 --> 01:01:39,125
They're giving their time.
961
01:01:39,208 --> 01:01:41,750
You're drawing a check,
but you got too much mout
962
01:01:41,833 --> 01:01:43,083
to do how you get paid.
963
01:01:43,166 --> 01:01:45,583
Got plaster for every sore.
964
01:01:45,666 --> 01:01:48,625
Well, since you can't do,
let me relieve your load.
965
01:01:48,708 --> 01:01:49,583
You're done.
966
01:01:51,666 --> 01:01:54,666
- Woman, you are your own worst--
- Enough! The dog dead!
967
01:01:54,750 --> 01:01:55,791
Go!
968
01:02:31,583 --> 01:02:34,208
- Thank you.
- You're welcome. You all right?
969
01:02:34,291 --> 01:02:35,458
I'm fine.
970
01:02:38,750 --> 01:02:40,375
Where are they, Arthur?
971
01:02:42,666 --> 01:02:44,500
I was there for white women.
972
01:02:45,041 --> 01:02:47,041
Why can't they support me?
973
01:02:47,666 --> 01:02:48,916
Same with Black men.
974
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:51,500
Where are they?
975
01:02:51,583 --> 01:02:52,416
They'll come.
976
01:02:57,166 --> 01:02:59,750
Barely two months left to the convention.
977
01:03:00,916 --> 01:03:03,000
I'm running out of time.
978
01:03:06,708 --> 01:03:08,166
Too sentimental.
979
01:03:08,958 --> 01:03:10,666
I really am. I...
980
01:03:11,458 --> 01:03:14,708
just see what's going on
in the world, and it's...
981
01:03:15,291 --> 01:03:18,625
The agony of people, it moves me.
982
01:03:19,291 --> 01:03:20,666
It moves me.
983
01:03:22,583 --> 01:03:26,833
I... Conrad says
I'm not gonna live to see 55.
984
01:03:27,458 --> 01:03:31,125
Says I'm just too into this thing,
and I know I am.
985
01:03:31,208 --> 01:03:32,458
He's right.
986
01:03:34,875 --> 01:03:36,375
But it's deep with me.
987
01:03:36,458 --> 01:03:38,000
It's intense. I...
988
01:03:38,791 --> 01:03:41,500
I see too much sufferin'.
989
01:03:42,416 --> 01:03:46,500
And these politicians around here,
they... they don't care.
990
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,458
They don't care.
991
01:03:48,541 --> 01:03:50,833
They just don't care.
992
01:03:51,666 --> 01:03:53,916
And I don't know how to not try.
993
01:03:54,458 --> 01:03:56,416
I believe in people. I do. I--
994
01:03:56,958 --> 01:03:58,416
I'm not naive.
995
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,958
You're not realistic either.
996
01:04:02,833 --> 01:04:04,041
If you thought that
997
01:04:04,125 --> 01:04:07,250
everything you were gonna have to do
was gonna be easy...
998
01:04:09,791 --> 01:04:11,250
I mean, what do you wanna do?
999
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,666
Wanna quit the campaign?
1000
01:04:15,750 --> 01:04:18,000
End of the day,
it comes down to one of two choices.
1001
01:04:18,083 --> 01:04:20,333
You either fight the fight
or quit the race.
1002
01:04:20,416 --> 01:04:22,291
And if you gonna quit the race,
1003
01:04:22,375 --> 01:04:25,083
get it done with,
and stop complaining about it.
1004
01:04:28,583 --> 01:04:30,625
Is this you being encouraging?
1005
01:04:32,750 --> 01:04:37,291
If you really are done
with... all of this mess,
1006
01:04:37,791 --> 01:04:40,916
I'm not gonna blame you,
and nobody else can.
1007
01:04:41,708 --> 01:04:43,875
People say I'm crazy.
1008
01:04:44,625 --> 01:04:46,416
Am I crazy?
1009
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:48,166
Yes.
1010
01:04:48,250 --> 01:04:52,208
But maybe that's what it takes
to make a difference in this world.
1011
01:04:52,291 --> 01:04:56,000
And, by some slim chance,
you make it down in Miami,
1012
01:04:56,083 --> 01:04:58,125
I'mma be right there with you.
1013
01:04:58,750 --> 01:05:00,916
And I hope to God it happens.
1014
01:05:08,125 --> 01:05:09,625
Thank you, Arthur.
1015
01:05:10,250 --> 01:05:14,166
Thank you... for making us believe.
1016
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,458
That's what matters.
1017
01:05:40,666 --> 01:05:43,916
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm just, you know, I'm...
1018
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,875
I'm really worried about
this FCC ruling the court handed down.
1019
01:05:46,958 --> 01:05:49,458
Isn't that what your man said
is likely to happen?
1020
01:05:49,541 --> 01:05:52,541
That we'd lose in court,
and then we'd take it to an appeal.
1021
01:05:53,125 --> 01:05:56,291
Yeah. I mean, he also said that,
you know, if we lose the appeal,
1022
01:05:56,375 --> 01:05:58,375
then the whole thing gets worse.
1023
01:05:58,458 --> 01:06:01,041
Eh, what's going to happen
is going to happen.
1024
01:06:03,083 --> 01:06:04,541
- What?
- I'm...
1025
01:06:04,625 --> 01:06:07,125
Sorry. What's going to happen
is going to happen?
1026
01:06:07,208 --> 01:06:10,666
Mrs. C... that doesn't sound
anything like you.
1027
01:06:10,750 --> 01:06:12,166
I mean, you're the one...
1028
01:06:12,250 --> 01:06:16,041
You're the one who told me to
not accept things the way that they are.
1029
01:06:16,125 --> 01:06:17,083
And I meant it.
1030
01:06:17,166 --> 01:06:19,041
Yes. So everything makes a difference.
1031
01:06:19,125 --> 01:06:21,166
If I let you down,
if the appeal goes wrong...
1032
01:06:21,250 --> 01:06:23,500
- How are you letting me down?
- Not just you.
1033
01:06:23,583 --> 01:06:25,708
So many people are gonna be
massively impacted.
1034
01:06:25,791 --> 01:06:28,250
- You are putting in the work.
- It's not a small thing.
1035
01:06:29,666 --> 01:06:31,583
- Shirley Chisholm?
- Don't move!
1036
01:06:31,666 --> 01:06:34,083
- Right there! Let me see your hands!
- What?
1037
01:06:34,166 --> 01:06:36,166
Do you understand me? Do not move!
1038
01:06:36,250 --> 01:06:38,125
Don't tell me... Do not tell me what to do.
1039
01:06:38,208 --> 01:06:41,333
I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to him. Is he threatening you?
1040
01:06:41,416 --> 01:06:42,291
No!
1041
01:06:42,375 --> 01:06:44,791
No. He works with me.
Why are you asking me this?
1042
01:06:45,666 --> 01:06:48,416
Ma'am, they just shot George Wallace.
1043
01:06:57,666 --> 01:07:01,250
Five shots, point-blank.
It was a white boy that shot him.
1044
01:07:01,333 --> 01:07:04,125
- Chickens come home to roost.
- And he lived.
1045
01:07:05,375 --> 01:07:07,541
Wallace is a tough son of a bitch.
1046
01:07:08,041 --> 01:07:10,166
Nixon's going to visit him
in the hospital.
1047
01:07:10,666 --> 01:07:13,375
Nixon would make him
his vice president if he could.
1048
01:07:13,958 --> 01:07:15,750
What makes you think he won't?
1049
01:07:16,541 --> 01:07:17,583
I want to go visit him.
1050
01:07:22,166 --> 01:07:23,916
I want to visit Wallace.
1051
01:07:25,083 --> 01:07:27,000
I don't think it's a good idea.
1052
01:07:27,083 --> 01:07:28,875
I know it's not a good idea.
1053
01:07:28,958 --> 01:07:31,125
Nixon is gonna visit him.
1054
01:07:31,208 --> 01:07:32,708
McGovern's going. Humphrey--
1055
01:07:32,791 --> 01:07:34,375
They're signifying.
1056
01:07:34,458 --> 01:07:37,333
White men who wouldn't mind
getting a few of Wallace's voters.
1057
01:07:39,125 --> 01:07:40,250
Shirley.
1058
01:07:41,625 --> 01:07:44,750
Don't you know what it would mean
for you to go visit that man?
1059
01:07:44,833 --> 01:07:47,791
I know what it means
to have somebody try to take your life.
1060
01:07:48,291 --> 01:07:49,500
I know that.
1061
01:07:49,583 --> 01:07:51,541
Do you know what it would mean
to your base?
1062
01:07:51,625 --> 01:07:53,541
To Blacks, young people, progressives?
1063
01:07:53,625 --> 01:07:56,500
- The man is a stone-cold racist!
-"Segregation now, segregation tomorrow."
1064
01:07:56,583 --> 01:07:58,708
What does it say about you
when you ignore that?
1065
01:07:58,791 --> 01:08:01,083
What does it say about me as a Christian?
1066
01:08:01,791 --> 01:08:04,291
You are not running for Pope.
1067
01:08:04,791 --> 01:08:06,166
You're running for president.
1068
01:08:06,250 --> 01:08:08,458
All this, everything we put together,
1069
01:08:08,541 --> 01:08:10,916
and you want to throw it away
over Wallace?
1070
01:08:20,166 --> 01:08:23,166
You hired me to be your advisor.
1071
01:08:25,625 --> 01:08:27,291
That's hard as hell to do
1072
01:08:27,375 --> 01:08:29,625
when you won't listen
to the advice I give.
1073
01:08:35,583 --> 01:08:38,458
But you are still
going to advise me, right?
1074
01:08:42,625 --> 01:08:43,666
Mac?
1075
01:08:47,541 --> 01:08:48,541
I'll talk to him.
1076
01:09:27,833 --> 01:09:30,041
What are the doctors saying?
1077
01:09:30,708 --> 01:09:33,291
Well... I'll live.
1078
01:09:33,791 --> 01:09:35,166
So there's that.
1079
01:09:36,333 --> 01:09:37,375
But, uh...
1080
01:09:39,500 --> 01:09:41,333
shot me in the spine.
1081
01:09:41,916 --> 01:09:45,541
I will spend the rest of my days
looking at the world from a wheelchair.
1082
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,666
Where do these people come from, Shirley?
1083
01:09:51,166 --> 01:09:54,708
I suppose it's the hate that hate creates.
1084
01:09:55,791 --> 01:10:00,916
It is not fair to lecture a man
who has got nowhere to go to.
1085
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:01,916
Oh...
1086
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:03,500
George...
1087
01:10:04,208 --> 01:10:06,458
I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
1088
01:10:07,083 --> 01:10:08,083
Mm-mm.
1089
01:10:08,708 --> 01:10:10,250
I've been where you are.
1090
01:10:10,958 --> 01:10:13,333
Had somebody try and take my life.
1091
01:10:13,416 --> 01:10:16,041
So close to God calling me home.
1092
01:10:16,125 --> 01:10:20,125
But... I know he spared me for a reason.
1093
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:23,708
And I believe the same for you.
1094
01:10:25,166 --> 01:10:28,791
Now, what that reason is... Why?
1095
01:10:28,875 --> 01:10:31,500
Maybe... Maybe he wanted you to...
1096
01:10:36,958 --> 01:10:38,583
It's not for me to say.
1097
01:10:40,125 --> 01:10:43,875
But you have an opportunity.
1098
01:10:44,708 --> 01:10:48,458
To keep on how you've been
or be more than what you were.
1099
01:10:49,708 --> 01:10:52,458
And you better figure it out quick.
1100
01:10:52,541 --> 01:10:55,458
'Cause the next time,
the good Lord may not be satisfied
1101
01:10:55,541 --> 01:10:57,541
with taking just half of you.
1102
01:11:06,375 --> 01:11:08,416
God is surrounding you.
1103
01:11:09,208 --> 01:11:14,958
May his light always guide you
and keep you safe in his arms.
1104
01:11:15,708 --> 01:11:17,250
In Jesus's name.
1105
01:11:17,833 --> 01:11:18,875
Amen.
1106
01:11:20,500 --> 01:11:22,208
Well...
1107
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,208
You keep praying for me, Shirley.
1108
01:11:27,541 --> 01:11:28,875
Always have.
1109
01:11:36,208 --> 01:11:38,541
{\an8} George Wallace
had an unlikely visitor today,
1110
01:11:38,625 --> 01:11:40,416
political opponent Shirley Chisholm.
1111
01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:43,458
The New York congresswoman was
one of the most unexpected visitors
1112
01:11:43,541 --> 01:11:46,541
to pass through this morning
to visit the Alabama governor.
1113
01:11:46,625 --> 01:11:48,458
One of the bullets is still lodged...
1114
01:11:48,541 --> 01:11:52,583
You believe this shit?
And she's supposed to be Black.
1115
01:11:52,666 --> 01:11:56,333
...his staunch segregationist and
populist views, seems like the last person
1116
01:11:56,416 --> 01:11:59,541
the congresswoman
would want to offer condolences to.
1117
01:12:00,125 --> 01:12:02,291
I think we've got to ask this point,
1118
01:12:02,791 --> 01:12:04,458
do we want to go on?
1119
01:12:06,166 --> 01:12:09,875
Well, the question really is,
can we go on?
1120
01:12:11,208 --> 01:12:13,416
I think we have to be realistic.
1121
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,916
Two months left in the primaries,
1122
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,583
Dr. Wallace, if he stays
in the race, and McGovern.
1123
01:12:20,291 --> 01:12:21,875
There's just, for us,
1124
01:12:23,291 --> 01:12:25,250
no path to the presidency.
1125
01:12:26,458 --> 01:12:28,083
My numbers are improving.
1126
01:12:28,166 --> 01:12:31,458
Less than 3% of the vote
in Maryland and Michigan.
1127
01:12:31,541 --> 01:12:33,625
Better than less than 1%
in Wisconsin, but--
1128
01:12:33,708 --> 01:12:36,333
If I can't get the nomination,
I can still get delegates.
1129
01:12:36,416 --> 01:12:37,250
Shirley.
1130
01:12:37,333 --> 01:12:39,375
And if we can control
some of the delegates,
1131
01:12:39,458 --> 01:12:41,833
we can still force change
at the convention.
1132
01:12:41,916 --> 01:12:45,375
Get delegates from where?
All that's left on the map...
1133
01:12:45,875 --> 01:12:47,583
Oregon's for McGovern. We know that.
1134
01:12:47,666 --> 01:12:50,500
We're not even on the ballot
in Rhode Island, South Dakota--
1135
01:12:50,583 --> 01:12:52,500
But there is California.
1136
01:12:52,583 --> 01:12:54,291
California is winner take all.
1137
01:12:54,375 --> 01:12:56,416
But what if we win California?
1138
01:12:56,500 --> 01:12:59,750
Shirley, you said yourself
it'd be a waste of time.
1139
01:13:00,250 --> 01:13:02,541
I'd do whatever it takes
to compete in California.
1140
01:13:02,625 --> 01:13:04,125
It takes money.
1141
01:13:04,208 --> 01:13:06,458
Do you have money? Because we need money.
1142
01:13:06,541 --> 01:13:08,666
- We can get money.
- We... Jesus.
1143
01:13:08,750 --> 01:13:12,625
Look, even if we enter the primary,
how do we get traction?
1144
01:13:12,708 --> 01:13:14,166
Who wants to back you?
1145
01:13:14,250 --> 01:13:15,416
Now, come on, Mac.
1146
01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:18,208
- I am just being realistic.
- Yeah, I know. But come on.
1147
01:13:20,416 --> 01:13:21,583
You want to do this?
1148
01:13:21,666 --> 01:13:24,458
We'll... figure it out.
1149
01:13:24,541 --> 01:13:26,291
But at this point,
1150
01:13:27,541 --> 01:13:31,041
without something
that's going to make some noise...
1151
01:13:38,333 --> 01:13:41,416
Well, then, no, if that's it...
Were they colored?
1152
01:13:45,166 --> 01:13:47,333
- Yeah, white.
1153
01:13:47,416 --> 01:13:52,166
Our total expenses
for the campaign have been $215,000.
1154
01:13:52,250 --> 01:13:54,125
Our liabilities,
1155
01:13:54,666 --> 01:13:58,333
outstanding debts... bills...
1156
01:13:59,833 --> 01:14:01,625
Twenty-six thousand.
1157
01:14:02,375 --> 01:14:06,333
Our payroll, if we keep it really tight,
1158
01:14:06,416 --> 01:14:08,000
2,000 a week.
1159
01:14:09,125 --> 01:14:10,666
Our cash on hand?
1160
01:14:11,166 --> 01:14:12,958
We don't have any cash on hand,
1161
01:14:13,041 --> 01:14:17,000
so to have enough money
to pay all our obligations
1162
01:14:17,083 --> 01:14:20,166
and keep the campaign going
throughout the California primary,
1163
01:14:20,250 --> 01:14:23,375
we need about $36,000.
1164
01:14:25,708 --> 01:14:29,250
Where are we supposed to get $36,000?
1165
01:14:29,750 --> 01:14:31,916
I have my congressional salary.
1166
01:14:35,958 --> 01:14:40,625
We already put in 20,000 of our own money.
1167
01:14:41,208 --> 01:14:44,375
Now you want to put in
another 36,000 on top?
1168
01:14:44,875 --> 01:14:48,208
Wh-- Why are you doing this?
Why go on? I don't understand what--
1169
01:14:48,291 --> 01:14:49,333
Conrad.
1170
01:14:49,416 --> 01:14:52,833
People walking out on you,
giving up on you.
1171
01:14:53,458 --> 01:14:57,166
I don't understand why you want
to keep going out there alone.
1172
01:14:57,250 --> 01:14:58,875
- Torturing yourself.
- I'm not alone.
1173
01:14:58,958 --> 01:15:02,375
There are people who put their blood
and sweat into what we're doing.
1174
01:15:02,458 --> 01:15:05,291
What would you have me tell them?
"Fight, but not too much?"
1175
01:15:05,375 --> 01:15:07,541
- Why do it?!
- Because it's my money!
1176
01:15:07,625 --> 01:15:08,791
It's my money!
1177
01:15:43,208 --> 01:15:44,375
You're right.
1178
01:15:46,083 --> 01:15:47,416
It is your money.
1179
01:15:48,833 --> 01:15:50,333
It's your campaign.
1180
01:15:53,500 --> 01:15:56,458
So, why even pretend to care
1181
01:15:57,750 --> 01:15:59,083
about what I think?
1182
01:16:37,666 --> 01:16:40,875
We sure appreciate you
getting the word out to everybody.
1183
01:16:40,958 --> 01:16:42,208
Do whatever I can.
1184
01:16:42,291 --> 01:16:43,708
Get the people to vote.
1185
01:16:43,791 --> 01:16:45,875
Every delegate coming to the convention,
1186
01:16:45,958 --> 01:16:48,708
that's a voice
for equal rights, civil rights.
1187
01:16:48,791 --> 01:16:50,250
That can't happen without you.
1188
01:16:50,333 --> 01:16:53,250
Fight the fight, Shirley. Finish the race.
1189
01:16:53,333 --> 01:16:54,583
- Thank you.
- Yes.
1190
01:16:54,666 --> 01:16:56,916
- God bless you.
- We gotta get you across town.
1191
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,083
We got two more churches to get to
1192
01:16:59,166 --> 01:17:02,625
and a fundraiser that Mac and Conrad
have been greasing them
1193
01:17:02,708 --> 01:17:03,916
until we get you there.
1194
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,208
Then you got
the rest of the day to yourself.
1195
01:17:06,291 --> 01:17:07,958
- Arthur.
- I'll get the cab.
1196
01:17:09,458 --> 01:17:10,291
Muriel!
1197
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,750
Not staying for services?
1198
01:17:16,250 --> 01:17:18,375
Well, I have some campaigning to do.
1199
01:17:18,458 --> 01:17:20,333
You're staying in the race?
1200
01:17:20,416 --> 01:17:23,875
Well, I still think there are good things
we can do at the convention.
1201
01:17:26,666 --> 01:17:31,458
Muriel, I hate that you and Mother
have to listen to other people.
1202
01:17:31,541 --> 01:17:33,250
I don't want that for you.
1203
01:17:33,333 --> 01:17:34,875
I don't want that for anybody.
1204
01:17:35,583 --> 01:17:36,541
Sure.
1205
01:17:37,416 --> 01:17:38,541
Have a good Sunday.
1206
01:17:39,958 --> 01:17:42,333
Muriel, I don't think I'm special.
1207
01:17:44,250 --> 01:17:47,625
I don't. I'm just how I am.
1208
01:17:49,125 --> 01:17:51,375
And I don't know any other way to be.
1209
01:17:55,916 --> 01:17:57,125
I'm sorry.
1210
01:18:13,166 --> 01:18:14,000
Sh...
1211
01:18:45,875 --> 01:18:48,291
Thank you so, so, so much.
1212
01:18:48,958 --> 01:18:49,958
Okay. Bye-bye.
1213
01:18:55,375 --> 01:18:57,500
We got the judgment
from the appellate court.
1214
01:18:57,583 --> 01:18:58,791
They ruled in our favor.
1215
01:18:58,875 --> 01:19:02,250
ABC has to include you in the debate,
and because we missed the one on CBS,
1216
01:19:02,333 --> 01:19:04,583
they're giving you a half hour
on air to yourself.
1217
01:19:04,666 --> 01:19:06,333
- Hot diggity dog!
1218
01:19:06,416 --> 01:19:09,083
- You did it.
- Boy's gonna make a hell of a lawyer.
1219
01:19:09,166 --> 01:19:13,291
Wait, no. I didn't do this all by myself.
The folks over at the Media Access--
1220
01:19:13,375 --> 01:19:15,958
Robert, good job.
1221
01:19:16,458 --> 01:19:17,916
- Thank you.
1222
01:19:19,583 --> 01:19:20,750
Good work.
1223
01:19:20,833 --> 01:19:21,708
You did it.
1224
01:19:21,791 --> 01:19:25,458
What has kept me in this election
is that I am willing to fight the fight,
1225
01:19:25,541 --> 01:19:27,458
irrespective of the odds that I face.
1226
01:19:28,208 --> 01:19:30,166
The only reason I am sitting here now
1227
01:19:30,250 --> 01:19:34,166
is because I am unwilling
to... to accept the inequality
1228
01:19:34,250 --> 01:19:36,708
imposed by the so-called liberal media.
1229
01:19:37,291 --> 01:19:39,041
- It's Barbara Lee.
- Thank you.
1230
01:19:40,458 --> 01:19:41,500
Hello.
1231
01:19:44,250 --> 01:19:46,333
Yes. Barbara. How are you?
1232
01:19:46,416 --> 01:19:48,750
I'm all right. Saw you on TV.
1233
01:19:48,833 --> 01:19:51,166
Sounds like you're gonna
go through California.
1234
01:19:51,250 --> 01:19:54,375
Well, we're considering options.
1235
01:19:54,458 --> 01:19:57,833
Do you believe California
can make a difference for your campaign?
1236
01:19:57,916 --> 01:20:00,291
The largest delegate count of any state?
1237
01:20:00,875 --> 01:20:02,791
Of course it can make a difference.
1238
01:20:02,875 --> 01:20:06,083
Look, I told you that I wanted
to do something to help the campaign.
1239
01:20:06,166 --> 01:20:08,958
Something big. I spoke to Chairman Newton.
He wants to meet you.
1240
01:20:09,041 --> 01:20:12,166
Wait, little girl. Slow down.
1241
01:20:12,750 --> 01:20:15,041
Chairman Huey Newton
of the Black Panther Party.
1242
01:20:15,125 --> 01:20:17,875
He's willing to try to get
the Black Panther party to endorse you.
1243
01:20:17,958 --> 01:20:19,833
But the meeting
needs to be on neutral territory.
1244
01:20:19,916 --> 01:20:23,958
And what does he consider neutral
for a congresswoman and a Panther?
1245
01:20:24,666 --> 01:20:26,750
He'll do it at Diahann Carroll's house.
1246
01:20:26,833 --> 01:20:28,250
Diahann Carroll?
1247
01:20:28,333 --> 01:20:29,708
The actress?
1248
01:20:29,791 --> 01:20:32,666
She looks like an angel but she fights
like the devil for civil rights.
1249
01:20:32,750 --> 01:20:36,000
Huey thinks that he can get the BPP
to give you an endorsement.
1250
01:20:36,083 --> 01:20:39,916
When it comes to this election,
every voice deserves to be heard.
1251
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,375
Not just some people, all of the people.
1252
01:20:42,958 --> 01:20:44,166
Right the hell on.
1253
01:20:44,250 --> 01:20:46,208
And after what you just did to the FCC,
1254
01:20:46,291 --> 01:20:47,916
a Panther endorsement?
1255
01:20:48,916 --> 01:20:50,375
People are gonna notice.
1256
01:20:51,500 --> 01:20:53,041
They're gonna have to notice.
1257
01:20:55,750 --> 01:20:56,583
Okay.
1258
01:20:57,250 --> 01:21:01,000
This will be the most open
Democratic Convention this country's seen.
1259
01:21:01,083 --> 01:21:03,458
Nobody's gonna get through
on the first ballot.
1260
01:21:10,375 --> 01:21:11,791
- Barbara.
- Diahann.
1261
01:21:14,333 --> 01:21:15,208
- Mmm.
- Mm.
1262
01:21:15,291 --> 01:21:17,791
I would like you
to please meet Mrs. Shirley Chisholm.
1263
01:21:17,875 --> 01:21:18,916
Mrs. Chisholm.
1264
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,666
Shirley, please.
1265
01:21:20,750 --> 01:21:23,000
It is an honor, Shirley.
1266
01:21:23,083 --> 01:21:24,583
Nothing short of an honor.
1267
01:21:24,666 --> 01:21:25,916
Likewise.
1268
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,708
Come on. Let's wait out back.
Huey isn't here yet.
1269
01:21:28,791 --> 01:21:32,333
Really? Caught traffic.
Was afraid we'd keep you waiting.
1270
01:21:32,416 --> 01:21:37,000
Panthers, they run on CP time.
They'll be late to their own revolution.
1271
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,875
She's funny.
1272
01:21:43,333 --> 01:21:44,375
Oh...
1273
01:21:46,375 --> 01:21:48,375
- Yes, let's get you out of the sun.
- Mmm.
1274
01:21:51,541 --> 01:21:52,708
Ms. Carroll--
1275
01:21:52,791 --> 01:21:55,000
If you're "Shirley," then I'm "Diahann."
1276
01:21:55,083 --> 01:21:57,958
I truly appreciate
you facilitating this meeting.
1277
01:21:58,041 --> 01:22:02,000
Darling, bringing together
the Black Panthers and Shirley Chisholm,
1278
01:22:02,625 --> 01:22:05,833
it's like marrying thunder and lightning.
1279
01:22:08,708 --> 01:22:10,708
Oh... Hmm.
1280
01:22:10,791 --> 01:22:12,708
It is lovely here.
1281
01:22:12,791 --> 01:22:14,333
Beautiful house.
1282
01:22:14,416 --> 01:22:15,458
Thank you.
1283
01:22:16,291 --> 01:22:17,791
Certainly cost enough.
1284
01:22:17,875 --> 01:22:19,416
Money well spent.
1285
01:22:19,500 --> 01:22:21,791
Oh, it's not about the money.
1286
01:22:21,875 --> 01:22:24,083
In Hollywood,
they throw money at you for nothing.
1287
01:22:24,166 --> 01:22:25,833
The more money, the more nothing.
1288
01:22:27,208 --> 01:22:30,041
This house, I bought it after I did Julia.
1289
01:22:30,125 --> 01:22:33,208
Mmm... That was a remarkable program.
1290
01:22:33,291 --> 01:22:34,125
Hmm.
1291
01:22:35,291 --> 01:22:38,416
When I did that show, 1968,
1292
01:22:38,500 --> 01:22:42,250
the first Black woman to have
her own prime-time network program,
1293
01:22:42,333 --> 01:22:44,083
playing a nurse, a professional...
1294
01:22:44,166 --> 01:22:47,000
The letters that I used to get
from some folks.
1295
01:22:47,083 --> 01:22:49,041
Know what they hated the most?
1296
01:22:49,125 --> 01:22:50,958
There was no man in Julia's life.
1297
01:22:51,458 --> 01:22:52,541
Hmm.
1298
01:22:52,625 --> 01:22:54,166
She was on her own,
1299
01:22:54,250 --> 01:22:57,625
raising her son by herself,
and getting by.
1300
01:22:57,708 --> 01:22:58,708
Thriving.
1301
01:22:59,666 --> 01:23:03,541
And for a lot of men, when they see
a woman on her own, doing for herself--
1302
01:23:03,625 --> 01:23:06,250
I can't speak to your profession,
1303
01:23:06,333 --> 01:23:08,125
but in mine...
1304
01:23:08,625 --> 01:23:12,375
Men are so used to being in control
that equality, to them, feels like chaos.
1305
01:23:13,916 --> 01:23:15,625
Well, it is still a beautiful home.
1306
01:23:15,708 --> 01:23:17,375
- Oh... Isn't it, though?
- Mmm.
1307
01:23:17,958 --> 01:23:20,000
- Diahann.
- Hmm.
1308
01:23:21,125 --> 01:23:22,541
Get ready for a little chaos.
1309
01:23:25,375 --> 01:23:26,250
Huey.
1310
01:23:27,250 --> 01:23:28,458
Come on over.
1311
01:23:32,083 --> 01:23:35,625
I would like you to meet...
Mrs. Shirley Chisholm.
1312
01:23:44,458 --> 01:23:45,333
Shirley.
1313
01:23:45,916 --> 01:23:46,916
Huey.
1314
01:23:47,958 --> 01:23:50,500
Thunder and lightning.
1315
01:24:03,958 --> 01:24:04,958
Hmm.
1316
01:24:16,125 --> 01:24:20,333
I've come to California
'cause I'm seeking your endorsement.
1317
01:24:20,916 --> 01:24:23,416
- Why?
- Why do I want your endorsement?
1318
01:24:23,500 --> 01:24:25,625
Why do you think we would give it?
1319
01:24:25,708 --> 01:24:30,750
What did you say about us? The, uh...
"The Black Panther Party is shameful."
1320
01:24:30,833 --> 01:24:32,416
That's not what I said.
1321
01:24:32,500 --> 01:24:35,583
I said, "It's a shame
the Black Panther Party is necessary,
1322
01:24:35,666 --> 01:24:37,625
but I understand why it's needed."
1323
01:24:37,708 --> 01:24:42,083
It is needed to stand against ofays like
George Wallace, who you broke bread with.
1324
01:24:42,166 --> 01:24:45,041
I'd break bread with the devil
if it made him more Christian.
1325
01:24:46,416 --> 01:24:48,916
You understand that there is
a revolution going on?
1326
01:24:49,416 --> 01:24:55,208
And... And that the government that runs
this system is an inherently corrupt one?
1327
01:24:55,291 --> 01:24:59,833
But if you burn down the empire,
all that's left to rule over are ashes.
1328
01:25:00,416 --> 01:25:04,500
Democracy works. If it didn't,
we wouldn't be having this conversation.
1329
01:25:04,583 --> 01:25:06,791
You call brothers and sisters
1330
01:25:06,875 --> 01:25:09,458
getting beat up, shot,
choked to death by the police--
1331
01:25:09,541 --> 01:25:12,875
Exactly. And they need
to be held accountable.
1332
01:25:12,958 --> 01:25:15,375
And I'm going to force all the politicians
1333
01:25:15,458 --> 01:25:20,208
to earn the vote that we secured
with our rent flesh and spilt blood.
1334
01:25:20,291 --> 01:25:22,500
From Birmingham
all the way up to Binghamton.
1335
01:25:22,583 --> 01:25:24,958
You gonna do all that?
Schoolteacher from Brooklyn.
1336
01:25:27,250 --> 01:25:31,208
Yes, I am just a schoolteacher
from Brooklyn.
1337
01:25:31,291 --> 01:25:33,333
And Harriet was just a slave.
1338
01:25:33,416 --> 01:25:35,416
Rosa was just a domestic.
1339
01:25:37,041 --> 01:25:39,583
What is it you do for a living again?
1340
01:25:45,791 --> 01:25:48,291
The Black Panther Party
puts forth the call
1341
01:25:48,375 --> 01:25:52,375
to unite together to join
Sister Shirley Chisholm's campaign.
1342
01:25:53,333 --> 01:25:57,083
Shirley... has stood up
in the face to racism,
1343
01:25:57,625 --> 01:26:04,166
denouncing the sufferance of Black
and poor people at every opportunity.
1344
01:26:05,416 --> 01:26:07,333
Shirley deserves to be president.
1345
01:26:08,208 --> 01:26:09,625
And she will be.
1346
01:26:11,041 --> 01:26:13,250
When we deliver to her
the state of California.
1347
01:26:13,333 --> 01:26:16,791
A place like California,
where it's a winner-take-all operation,
1348
01:26:16,875 --> 01:26:20,375
{\an8}you're simply dissipating the potential
of Black delegate strength
1349
01:26:20,458 --> 01:26:22,541
{\an8}at the convention if you come here
1350
01:26:22,625 --> 01:26:26,166
{\an8}and try to run a Black
in a symbolic protest campaign,
1351
01:26:26,250 --> 01:26:28,875
and that's what Shirley Chisholm's
campaign will amount to.
1352
01:26:28,958 --> 01:26:32,708
The winner-take-all votes, crucial
to the presidential nominating race.
1353
01:26:32,791 --> 01:26:36,166
George McGovern won
California's Democratic primary.
1354
01:26:36,250 --> 01:26:38,375
He got 44% of the vote.
1355
01:26:38,458 --> 01:26:40,458
Hubert Humphrey got 39%.
1356
01:26:40,541 --> 01:26:42,291
And other candidates got the rest.
1357
01:26:42,375 --> 01:26:43,875
The others, Muskie, Jackson,
1358
01:26:43,958 --> 01:26:47,541
Chisholm, Wallace, Yorty,
got a scattering few percent each.
1359
01:26:47,625 --> 01:26:50,833
But that gave McGovern
all 271 delegate votes.
1360
01:26:50,916 --> 01:26:54,416
And it's put him well on the way
to a first ballot nomination in Miam--
1361
01:27:28,458 --> 01:27:31,625
Shirley, this is Oly Clark
with the Muskie campaign,
1362
01:27:31,708 --> 01:27:33,916
and Arnold Pinkney, with Senator Humphrey.
1363
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,583
Ms. Chisholm, may we offer you...
1364
01:27:38,625 --> 01:27:41,041
Appreciate you coming in, Mrs. Chisholm.
1365
01:27:41,125 --> 01:27:42,625
How are you holding up?
1366
01:27:42,708 --> 01:27:45,500
I'm feeling pretty well.
Would have been better
1367
01:27:45,583 --> 01:27:48,791
if one of your candidates
had cared to drop out of the race.
1368
01:27:48,875 --> 01:27:50,500
We could say the same about you.
1369
01:27:50,583 --> 01:27:53,416
You run a good campaign, Mrs. Chisholm.
A real good one.
1370
01:27:55,666 --> 01:27:59,333
Shirley, I think we're all disappointed
with the results in California.
1371
01:27:59,416 --> 01:28:01,875
- Not just McGovern winning--
- If you can call it winning.
1372
01:28:01,958 --> 01:28:04,333
He didn't carry the state,
but he gets all the delegates.
1373
01:28:04,416 --> 01:28:07,625
Winner take all.
Those were the rules before the primary.
1374
01:28:07,708 --> 01:28:09,750
They were the rules when the people voted.
1375
01:28:09,833 --> 01:28:12,333
Not sure there's much
that can be done about it.
1376
01:28:12,416 --> 01:28:14,541
We think that there is.
1377
01:28:14,625 --> 01:28:17,375
We think we can make the case
to the Credentials Committee
1378
01:28:17,458 --> 01:28:20,666
that what happened in California
was not a democratic process,
1379
01:28:20,750 --> 01:28:23,166
and that the delegates
be awarded proportionally.
1380
01:28:23,666 --> 01:28:26,458
And we would like your campaign
to join us in the motion.
1381
01:28:27,916 --> 01:28:29,833
You all are killing me.
1382
01:28:30,416 --> 01:28:32,666
Now you're worried about being fair.
1383
01:28:33,500 --> 01:28:36,291
Vote doesn't go your way,
you just change the rules.
1384
01:28:36,375 --> 01:28:39,666
When you work on a skunk farm,
you can't complain when the shit stinks.
1385
01:28:39,750 --> 01:28:41,625
And right now, it stinks.
1386
01:28:41,708 --> 01:28:45,083
Do you want McGovern's campaign
to control the entire convention?
1387
01:28:45,166 --> 01:28:47,833
What exactly is the benefit to us?
1388
01:28:47,916 --> 01:28:49,916
You came in fourth in California.
1389
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,416
You should be entitled
to some of those delegates.
1390
01:28:52,500 --> 01:28:54,125
And with the 28 you already have--
1391
01:28:54,208 --> 01:28:55,958
Senator Humphrey has asked me to relay
1392
01:28:56,041 --> 01:28:58,791
that he'd be willing to have
his Black delegates defer to you.
1393
01:28:58,875 --> 01:29:02,958
I understand you have arrangements
with Walter Fauntroy and Ron Dellums.
1394
01:29:03,041 --> 01:29:08,125
Altogether, you would go into the
convention controlling over 150 delegates.
1395
01:29:08,666 --> 01:29:13,791
McGovern only has 762 pledged delegates,
and he needs 1,500 to get the nomination.
1396
01:29:14,500 --> 01:29:15,541
I don't want to speak ill--
1397
01:29:15,625 --> 01:29:19,000
I would expect he would do
whatever it takes to get those delegates.
1398
01:29:19,583 --> 01:29:21,000
Whatever it takes.
1399
01:29:21,625 --> 01:29:25,625
We work together, we can keep him
from getting it on the first ballot.
1400
01:29:25,708 --> 01:29:27,916
If I support your suit.
1401
01:29:54,875 --> 01:29:56,500
If you do this, Shirley,
1402
01:29:57,666 --> 01:29:59,375
if you take this to Miami,
1403
01:30:01,083 --> 01:30:02,625
they will come at you.
1404
01:30:23,458 --> 01:30:26,833
{\an8} Reporting from CBS News Convention
Headquarters in Miami Beach,
1405
01:30:26,916 --> 01:30:29,250
here is correspondent Walter Cronkite.
1406
01:30:29,708 --> 01:30:31,791
The anti-McGovern
forces got together,
1407
01:30:31,875 --> 01:30:35,083
and they've challenged the legality
of the winner-take-all primary.
1408
01:30:35,166 --> 01:30:39,125
They claim that it, in effect,
denied all those millions
1409
01:30:39,208 --> 01:30:42,833
who voted for candidates other than
McGovern a voice in the convention.
1410
01:30:42,916 --> 01:30:46,791
So now, tonight, when Mrs. Pat Harris,
chairman of the Credentials Committee,
1411
01:30:46,875 --> 01:30:50,916
presents her report, there will be
a minority report on California.
1412
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,125
That's a challenge to not seat
the Humphrey and other delegates,
1413
01:30:54,208 --> 01:30:57,541
but to give those 151 seats
back to McGovern's people.
1414
01:30:57,625 --> 01:31:01,000
{\an8}...with my 271-man delegation,
1415
01:31:01,083 --> 01:31:06,625
{\an8}and cast the votes
of that unanimous 271-man delegation.
1416
01:31:06,708 --> 01:31:08,625
{\an8}And I don't think I deserve any less!
1417
01:31:11,958 --> 01:31:13,666
We obeyed the law!
1418
01:31:14,166 --> 01:31:15,250
The first time!
1419
01:31:15,791 --> 01:31:17,166
Seat my delegation!
1420
01:31:17,250 --> 01:31:20,500
I did it for you in Mississippi in '64.
1421
01:31:20,583 --> 01:31:22,000
In Georgia in '68.
1422
01:31:22,083 --> 01:31:24,416
And it's now California in '72.
1423
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:28,500
I deserve no less.
Give me back my delegation!
1424
01:31:28,583 --> 01:31:30,708
Willie Brown is going crazy.
1425
01:31:30,791 --> 01:31:33,541
What in the hell did McGovern promise him?
1426
01:31:34,041 --> 01:31:36,000
Secretary of Housing.
1427
01:31:36,083 --> 01:31:38,291
That's all they ever give Black folks.
1428
01:31:38,375 --> 01:31:41,000
- Secretary of Housing.
- Any word on McGovern's camp?
1429
01:31:41,083 --> 01:31:43,958
They're not interested
in making concessions at this time.
1430
01:31:44,041 --> 01:31:47,000
Why would McGovern make a deal
for delegates? He'll steal them.
1431
01:31:47,083 --> 01:31:49,250
Conrad, did you call down to maintenance?
1432
01:31:49,333 --> 01:31:51,666
They said there's nothing wrong
with the air conditioner.
1433
01:31:51,750 --> 01:31:55,375
Nothing wrong? They're all from Florida.
They don't know what good weather is.
1434
01:31:55,458 --> 01:31:57,541
Shirley...
Willie Brown is playing games.
1435
01:31:57,625 --> 01:32:01,375
This luncheon for the Black delegates...
You've got a coalition, Shirley.
1436
01:32:01,458 --> 01:32:04,041
Your delegates, Muskie's,
Humphrey's, Fauntroy's.
1437
01:32:04,125 --> 01:32:06,708
But you've got to keep them
from breaking for McGovern.
1438
01:32:07,208 --> 01:32:10,500
You need to bring
the Black delegates to Jesus.
1439
01:32:10,583 --> 01:32:14,416
Get them together and hold them together.
1440
01:32:16,458 --> 01:32:17,500
Okay.
1441
01:32:21,458 --> 01:32:22,666
It's so warm.
1442
01:32:24,166 --> 01:32:26,208
Let's continue on with our program.
1443
01:32:27,083 --> 01:32:29,791
Our next speaker...
Well, hell, you all know her.
1444
01:32:31,041 --> 01:32:34,333
She is the only Black woman crazy enough
1445
01:32:34,416 --> 01:32:37,750
to run for president
of these United States.
1446
01:32:37,833 --> 01:32:42,458
Give a warm welcome
for Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm.
1447
01:32:51,916 --> 01:32:53,291
Good afternoon.
1448
01:32:55,958 --> 01:32:59,125
Well... this is something.
1449
01:33:00,083 --> 01:33:01,000
Isn't it?
1450
01:33:02,750 --> 01:33:04,666
Look around this room today.
1451
01:33:05,916 --> 01:33:08,416
Go ahead. Look around.
1452
01:33:09,750 --> 01:33:12,833
Four years ago, less than 2%
1453
01:33:12,916 --> 01:33:16,458
of the delegates
at the Democratic Convention were Black.
1454
01:33:17,166 --> 01:33:21,500
Today there are 452 of you.
1455
01:33:27,250 --> 01:33:31,250
There are people here
promising you this, promising you that.
1456
01:33:31,875 --> 01:33:34,708
Well, my brothers and sisters,
1457
01:33:34,791 --> 01:33:39,333
let me tell it to you this afternoon
like it really is.
1458
01:33:39,416 --> 01:33:41,333
- All right, now.
- Right.
1459
01:33:42,208 --> 01:33:45,875
The only thing you have going,
my brothers and sisters...
1460
01:33:45,958 --> 01:33:48,166
There's only one thing you've got going.
1461
01:33:48,791 --> 01:33:52,708
Your... one... vote.
1462
01:33:52,791 --> 01:33:54,958
- All right.
1463
01:33:55,041 --> 01:33:58,333
Don't sell that vote out!
1464
01:33:58,916 --> 01:34:03,125
The Black people of America
are watching us.
1465
01:34:03,833 --> 01:34:09,791
Find out what these candidates who
need our votes to get across the top
1466
01:34:09,875 --> 01:34:15,250
are going to do
for us concretely, not rhetorically.
1467
01:34:15,333 --> 01:34:16,750
Yeah! All right!
1468
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:27,000
As I look at the faces
of the Black youth of this country
1469
01:34:27,083 --> 01:34:29,541
as I went from one place to another,
1470
01:34:30,500 --> 01:34:34,250
and they said, "Chisholm,
we know what you're going through."
1471
01:34:34,875 --> 01:34:37,708
"We know how rough and how tough,
1472
01:34:38,208 --> 01:34:40,416
but we know that you have the courage,
1473
01:34:40,500 --> 01:34:45,166
and the balls, and the audacity
to shake this system up
1474
01:34:45,250 --> 01:34:46,625
within the system."
1475
01:34:46,708 --> 01:34:49,750
- Yeah!
- But I need your help to do it.
1476
01:34:50,833 --> 01:34:53,083
Hold on to your vote.
1477
01:34:53,916 --> 01:34:55,833
Hold on to your vote!
1478
01:35:28,375 --> 01:35:31,458
- Sixty-one, 62, 63, 64, 65...
1479
01:35:31,541 --> 01:35:34,500
Twenty-one Louisiana delegates
are switching their pledge to you,
1480
01:35:34,583 --> 01:35:37,708
- Twelve from Mississippi.
- If they are switching, I'll take them.
1481
01:35:37,791 --> 01:35:40,375
I have 23 switching from Ohio,
nine from Pennsylvania,
1482
01:35:40,458 --> 01:35:43,375
and two from Florida.
They were originally pledged to Wallace.
1483
01:35:43,458 --> 01:35:46,083
Muskie's keeping his name
in the first round of balloting,
1484
01:35:46,166 --> 01:35:48,666
but he's directing
his Black delegates to vote for you.
1485
01:35:48,750 --> 01:35:50,041
Hey. Humphrey's dropping out.
1486
01:35:50,125 --> 01:35:51,666
- What?
- He withdrew?
1487
01:35:51,750 --> 01:35:53,708
He's dropping out
and releasing all his delegates.
1488
01:35:53,791 --> 01:35:55,000
To who? McGovern?
1489
01:35:55,083 --> 01:35:58,125
Like he promised, he's telling all
his Black delegates to vote for you.
1490
01:36:02,875 --> 01:36:08,000
With Humphrey's delegates,
California's, Fauntroy's, you have almost...
1491
01:36:10,791 --> 01:36:13,083
Two hundred and fifty delegates
pledged to you.
1492
01:36:14,083 --> 01:36:16,750
So McGovern can't get
the nomination in the first round.
1493
01:36:20,708 --> 01:36:22,791
- Ahh!
1494
01:36:22,875 --> 01:36:23,791
Yes!
1495
01:36:25,958 --> 01:36:26,875
Yeah!
1496
01:36:26,958 --> 01:36:29,125
Let's do this!
1497
01:36:29,208 --> 01:36:32,000
Robert! Robert, hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
1498
01:36:32,083 --> 01:36:35,750
We have not done anything yet.
You get on the phone to McGovern's people.
1499
01:36:35,833 --> 01:36:39,833
And you tell them if he wants my delegates
then he'd better start talking about
1500
01:36:39,916 --> 01:36:43,125
what's going into the platform,
who he's going to appoint,
1501
01:36:43,208 --> 01:36:44,916
to what cabinet positions.
1502
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:46,000
Shirley.
1503
01:36:49,625 --> 01:36:50,583
Thank you.
1504
01:36:51,125 --> 01:36:53,166
I'm going to get something to eat.
1505
01:36:53,250 --> 01:36:55,500
Can't conquer the world
on an empty stomach!
1506
01:37:06,125 --> 01:37:07,208
Congressman.
1507
01:37:07,791 --> 01:37:09,833
Senator McGovern's
very excited to see you.
1508
01:37:11,166 --> 01:37:13,000
- Can I get you a drink?
- Thank you.
1509
01:37:16,041 --> 01:37:19,083
...and then to get 250 delegates
at the last moment?
1510
01:37:19,166 --> 01:37:20,666
- Whoo!
- What was he gonna do?
1511
01:37:20,750 --> 01:37:22,250
I did not expect him to keep...
1512
01:37:22,333 --> 01:37:24,333
Mr. Abernathy,
why are you on the floor?
1513
01:37:24,416 --> 01:37:28,000
Well, we're out here
fighting the cause for poor people.
1514
01:37:28,083 --> 01:37:33,333
As you know, one fourth
of our people are poor in the country,
1515
01:37:33,416 --> 01:37:35,375
And I'm fighting that struggle...
1516
01:37:35,458 --> 01:37:37,458
Hello, it's Shirley.
1517
01:37:38,333 --> 01:37:39,750
I got your message.
1518
01:37:44,625 --> 01:37:47,666
Not that busy. Would've taken the call.
1519
01:37:51,083 --> 01:37:56,166
Well, we didn't quite get there,
but we did okay.
1520
01:37:57,333 --> 01:37:59,208
We're gonna do some good things here.
1521
01:38:00,541 --> 01:38:02,625
Some really good things.
1522
01:38:03,333 --> 01:38:05,541
I'm proud
of the things you did do.
1523
01:38:06,416 --> 01:38:08,625
Mom and I are watching the news.
1524
01:38:09,833 --> 01:38:11,166
You done well, Shirley.
1525
01:38:11,875 --> 01:38:13,458
You done really well.
1526
01:38:16,916 --> 01:38:18,250
Pop was right.
1527
01:38:19,583 --> 01:38:20,708
You are special.
1528
01:38:27,666 --> 01:38:28,833
I love you.
1529
01:38:31,333 --> 01:38:32,291
I...
1530
01:38:35,583 --> 01:38:37,000
I love you too.
1531
01:39:10,250 --> 01:39:11,750
Shirley? Come here.
1532
01:39:15,416 --> 01:39:17,333
CBS News. They want a statement.
1533
01:39:17,416 --> 01:39:19,208
Now they want a statement.
1534
01:39:19,291 --> 01:39:21,500
They had seven months.
Now they want a statement.
1535
01:39:21,583 --> 01:39:23,416
- I have a statement for you!
- Conrad.
1536
01:39:23,500 --> 01:39:25,750
- I'll give you a statement!
1537
01:39:27,208 --> 01:39:28,750
This is Congresswoman Chisholm.
1538
01:39:33,208 --> 01:39:34,958
And where did you hear that?
1539
01:39:37,166 --> 01:39:39,583
Then I would say
that your sources are wrong,
1540
01:39:39,666 --> 01:39:41,166
and I have no further comment.
1541
01:39:43,583 --> 01:39:44,583
What?
1542
01:39:45,791 --> 01:39:48,208
They're asking for my response
1543
01:39:48,291 --> 01:39:51,708
on Walter Fauntroy
releasing his delegates to McGovern.
1544
01:39:51,791 --> 01:39:54,041
- What?
- Walter wouldn't release his delegates.
1545
01:39:54,125 --> 01:39:58,500
- That's McGovern's campaign trying to--
- It's not coming from McGovern's campaign.
1546
01:39:59,500 --> 01:40:01,708
There's more than one person saying it.
1547
01:40:05,875 --> 01:40:07,041
Find Walter.
1548
01:40:07,125 --> 01:40:08,208
Walter.
1549
01:40:09,375 --> 01:40:11,416
Are you releasing
your delegates to McGovern?
1550
01:40:11,500 --> 01:40:13,458
- Shirley, hold on--
- Answer me.
1551
01:40:14,166 --> 01:40:17,083
- Can you give us a minute?
- They don't need to go anywhere.
1552
01:40:17,166 --> 01:40:18,666
Yes or no?
1553
01:40:20,416 --> 01:40:22,791
Yes, I'm giving my delegates to McGovern.
1554
01:40:22,875 --> 01:40:24,791
- Backstabber.
- No need for all of that.
1555
01:40:24,875 --> 01:40:28,000
We had an agreement.
You promised your delegates to me.
1556
01:40:28,083 --> 01:40:31,916
I told you I'd give you my delegates if
the voting went beyond the first ballot.
1557
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,750
McGovern's going to have all he needs.
He's getting my delegates, Willie's--
1558
01:40:35,833 --> 01:40:37,791
Ugh, you and Willie are weak.
1559
01:40:37,875 --> 01:40:40,208
Selling out your own
for scraps off the table.
1560
01:40:40,291 --> 01:40:42,541
Trying to make sure
we don't get four more years of Nixon.
1561
01:40:42,625 --> 01:40:44,666
McGovern can't win over the party.
1562
01:40:44,750 --> 01:40:47,208
What makes you think
he can win this election?
1563
01:40:47,708 --> 01:40:50,750
You can fold if you want,
but the rest of us, we're fightin'.
1564
01:40:50,833 --> 01:40:52,500
Rest of who?
1565
01:40:52,583 --> 01:40:54,958
All the Black delegates
are going to McGovern.
1566
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:58,791
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Your man, Ron Dellums.
1567
01:40:59,458 --> 01:41:02,500
He's telling all the Black delegates
to get behind McGovern.
1568
01:41:02,583 --> 01:41:04,041
- Yours too.
1569
01:41:06,458 --> 01:41:08,791
I tried to warn you about him, Shirley.
1570
01:41:08,875 --> 01:41:09,916
I tried!
1571
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:13,291
The Black delegates
at this convention have a mandate
1572
01:41:13,375 --> 01:41:16,750
from their people
not to support Shirley Chisholm.
1573
01:41:16,833 --> 01:41:20,916
Shirley Chisholm doesn't have
a chance. Blacks, on the first vote,
1574
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:24,875
are going to vote in terms
of meaningful political responsibility.
1575
01:41:24,958 --> 01:41:26,708
- So the reaction was...
- Sentimental.
1576
01:41:26,791 --> 01:41:29,958
- Will not have political effect?
- No political effect whatever.
1577
01:41:31,083 --> 01:41:34,250
- I'm looking for Ron Dellums.
- I'm looking for Congressman Ron Dellums.
1578
01:41:34,333 --> 01:41:36,583
Congressman Ronald Dellums.
1579
01:41:36,666 --> 01:41:39,500
- I need to find Ron.
- I need you to find Ron Dellums.
1580
01:41:39,583 --> 01:41:41,791
- I asked for Congressman Dellums.
1581
01:41:41,875 --> 01:41:44,666
- You told me...
- ...to Shirley, and now going to McGovern.
1582
01:41:45,875 --> 01:41:47,458
- Mrs. C.
- Did you find Ron?
1583
01:41:47,541 --> 01:41:49,791
I looked everywhere I could think,
but nobody's seen him.
1584
01:41:49,875 --> 01:41:52,125
- Did you check McGovern's suite?
- They wouldn't let me in.
1585
01:41:52,208 --> 01:41:53,333
Go back down there.
1586
01:41:53,416 --> 01:41:55,250
No, I tried, but they wouldn't let me in.
1587
01:41:55,333 --> 01:41:57,791
You go back down there.
You get in the room.
1588
01:41:57,875 --> 01:41:59,416
Kick in the door if you have to.
1589
01:41:59,500 --> 01:42:01,583
Shirley, Ronald's on TV.
1590
01:42:01,666 --> 01:42:04,916
Frankly, no other candidate
running for president could have.
1591
01:42:05,500 --> 01:42:08,625
It's through his vision for this party
that we've seen the beginnings
1592
01:42:08,708 --> 01:42:11,083
of a very powerful movement
in this country.
1593
01:42:11,833 --> 01:42:15,958
A movement that has
just realized its potential power.
1594
01:42:17,041 --> 01:42:20,916
Yet, at this moment... cynical,
1595
01:42:22,291 --> 01:42:27,791
even diabolical forces are moving to stop
the candidacy of Senator George McGovern.
1596
01:42:28,708 --> 01:42:32,083
Now, we have to ignore
the dreamers and the fools,
1597
01:42:32,875 --> 01:42:34,208
and get behind a candidate
1598
01:42:34,291 --> 01:42:38,000
who actually has the ability
to win the election in November.
1599
01:42:39,458 --> 01:42:42,833
That is why I am giving
my full endorsement
1600
01:42:43,583 --> 01:42:45,250
to Senator George McGovern.
1601
01:42:50,833 --> 01:42:56,333
A man who has the extraordinary ability
to lead this party into the future.
1602
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:58,916
Start working the phones.
1603
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,541
Get to every delegate you can.
They cannot break away.
1604
01:43:01,625 --> 01:43:04,375
I don't care what McGovern's
promising Dellums. He can't.
1605
01:43:04,458 --> 01:43:05,958
- Go!
- Put out a statement.
1606
01:43:06,041 --> 01:43:10,000
- Ronald's got another thing coming.
- I need you to put out a statement.
1607
01:43:10,083 --> 01:43:13,041
And... release my delegates.
1608
01:43:13,125 --> 01:43:14,750
- No. Don't do this.
- Release?
1609
01:43:14,833 --> 01:43:17,583
- Shirley. No, we can still find a way--
- No. Mac.
1610
01:43:17,666 --> 01:43:18,791
Mac!
1611
01:43:19,666 --> 01:43:21,708
I owe you everything.
1612
01:43:21,791 --> 01:43:25,208
But right now, I need you to do as I ask.
1613
01:43:26,791 --> 01:43:28,458
Put out a statement.
1614
01:43:29,083 --> 01:43:30,750
Release my delegates.
1615
01:43:33,041 --> 01:43:34,250
Please.
1616
01:43:37,833 --> 01:43:39,125
I'll call the DNC.
1617
01:44:53,833 --> 01:44:57,041
Well... we had something.
1618
01:44:58,333 --> 01:45:00,208
Maybe just for a second, but...
1619
01:45:01,416 --> 01:45:02,625
we had something.
1620
01:45:07,125 --> 01:45:08,541
- I hate him.
- Mmm.
1621
01:45:08,625 --> 01:45:10,500
- I hate Dellums.
- No.
1622
01:45:12,250 --> 01:45:14,666
Ron was just doing what he had to do.
1623
01:45:16,541 --> 01:45:18,875
I'm not mad at him.
1624
01:45:24,083 --> 01:45:29,791
I understand the pressures
and everything that man was going through.
1625
01:45:30,583 --> 01:45:33,583
He stood out for so long.
1626
01:45:34,958 --> 01:45:40,000
And for me, when everybody
was ridiculing him and what have you, and...
1627
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,125
I want you all to know
1628
01:45:49,750 --> 01:45:51,458
there are no bad feelings.
1629
01:45:54,708 --> 01:45:58,583
You find Ron,
and you tell him to come home to Shirley.
1630
01:46:00,875 --> 01:46:02,041
Okay?
1631
01:46:03,291 --> 01:46:05,208
You don't owe him a thing.
1632
01:46:07,250 --> 01:46:09,250
I owe him forgiveness.
1633
01:46:12,708 --> 01:46:13,625
Mm-hmm.
1634
01:46:14,500 --> 01:46:17,208
You find him,
and you tell him to come home.
1635
01:46:30,500 --> 01:46:34,250
I dragged you kids
all the way down to Florida.
1636
01:46:38,958 --> 01:46:40,708
It wasn't for nothing.
1637
01:46:45,291 --> 01:46:48,500
All the reasons that any of us had
to come down to this convention,
1638
01:46:48,583 --> 01:46:50,833
we all came for the best one.
1639
01:46:52,541 --> 01:46:53,708
We came for you.
1640
01:46:56,208 --> 01:46:57,500
Then keep on.
1641
01:47:00,333 --> 01:47:02,541
If I can't get there today,
1642
01:47:02,625 --> 01:47:05,750
you have to believe
you can get there tomorrow.
1643
01:47:11,458 --> 01:47:18,208
And if the best I was able to do
is to remind people what's possible...
1644
01:47:20,833 --> 01:47:22,666
then I'm thankful.
1645
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:32,416
Thank you, Shirley.
1646
01:47:33,875 --> 01:47:35,500
Thank you so much.
1647
01:47:36,458 --> 01:47:37,625
Thank you.
1648
01:47:46,250 --> 01:47:49,125
Chairman O'Brien is on the extension.
1649
01:47:57,708 --> 01:47:58,875
Okay.
1650
01:48:14,333 --> 01:48:15,958
This is Shirley Chisholm.
1651
01:48:16,916 --> 01:48:18,333
I'm going to make a statement
1652
01:48:18,416 --> 01:48:21,083
that I'd like for you to give
to my pledged delegates.
1653
01:48:21,166 --> 01:48:23,875
My intention over the last seven months
1654
01:48:23,958 --> 01:48:29,166
has been to remind people
that politics in America belongs to them.
1655
01:48:30,083 --> 01:48:36,041
I have wanted to be nothing more,
nothing less, than a catalyst for change.
1656
01:48:42,791 --> 01:48:45,708
Shirley Chisholm,
she opened the door for all of us.
1657
01:48:45,791 --> 01:48:48,291
For women of color,
and especially for Black women.
1658
01:48:48,375 --> 01:48:51,500
She opened that door for everybody,
1659
01:48:51,583 --> 01:48:54,041
and she gave everybody the confidence
1660
01:48:54,125 --> 01:48:57,208
that they too could run
and that they too had a voice.
1661
01:49:00,333 --> 01:49:01,875
My name is Barbara Lee.
1662
01:49:01,958 --> 01:49:05,250
I represent the 13th
Congressional District of California,
1663
01:49:05,333 --> 01:49:06,708
as a member of Congress.
1664
01:49:06,791 --> 01:49:09,916
What Shirley Chisholm
tried to do was teach us
1665
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:12,416
not only do you have to fight
to help people now,
1666
01:49:12,500 --> 01:49:14,750
but you have to fight
to change this madness.
1667
01:49:14,833 --> 01:49:17,916
Her legacy is directly connected to today.
1668
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:23,375
And so many of us have felt like
we could take that baton and keep running.
