And now, live from the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City…
You can get a microphone over there.
Could you conceive the horror of your fair-skinned daughter
by some fur-head, liver-lip, goat-smelling, ape-faced nigger…
Can you conceive such a thing?
No!
Are you going to do something about it?
Yes!
Nat, where are you going today?
I'm going to Raleigh.
Raleigh? You're continuing your Southern tour?
Yes. Well, it's not a complete Southern tour.
We only have about four more days to go on it anyway.
They say that the reason those men attacked you
was because of a feeling against rock and roll music
and "Negro music," so called.
Now, what do you feel about that?
It wasn't the particular song I was singing.
It could've been "Nearer My God to Thee" as far as they were concerned.
That type, you know.
You don't expect a repetition of what happened in Birmingham, then?
Well, no, I mean, you don't expect it, of course. We didn't expectthat.
Are these the guns found in the car
the night King Cole was attacked?
-Yes, they were. -Are they loaded?
-Fully loaded. -Fully loaded.
Two men were charged with intent to murder, right?
That's right.
You think by your tour, uh,
that you're helping the cause of integration in the South?
Well, yes. I've been asked by a lot of people,
why do I play to segregated audiences?
But, uh, being a Negro performer
and you're having white as well as colored audiences,
you're helping a lot to bring people together.
I have no jurisdiction over the law.
Of course, I don't condone segregated audiences. I never have.
But I can't, in my own voice, just walk out on the stage in any state
and just say, "I demand integration."
Well, no, I don't think he's very hard to live with at all,
and I know that on the day that he had his round with Ben Hogan,
he's a perfect joy to live with.
Hello, this is Ed Sullivan.
Today we've been called upon to search our hearts and souls
and cleanse them of unnatural hate and fear of our neighbors.
The fight for freedom today is a fight for the ideal of brotherhood.
Bigotry and intolerance, racial or religious hate and discrimination,
are spiritual acts of treason.
Where legal remedies are not at hand,
redress is sought in the streets and protests.
-I may be poor! -I may be poor!
-But I am! -But I am!
-Somebody! -Somebody!
We call upon all of you to join in this great crusade for our brotherhood.
Brotherhood means a united America,
and a united America is perhaps the sole remaining hope
for our shattered world.
You have a fine act.
Blowin' in the wind
-Pearl, come up here! -Here we are.
