1:27:02
I'm sure that you people must be
aware of some of the incidents...
1:27:06
...that have happened in various parts
of the city when...
1:27:10
...colored people have moved
into certain areas.
1:27:14
Because we have what
I think is going to be...
1:27:17
...a unique type of organization
in American community life.
1:27:21
Not only do we deplore
that kind of thing...
1:27:23
...but we're doing
something about it.
1:27:27
Now, we feel that...
1:27:29
We feel that most of the trouble
in this world...
1:27:32
...when you come right down to it...
1:27:34
...most of the trouble exists because
people don't sit down and talk.
1:27:38
You can say that again, mister.
1:27:40
That we don't try hard enough
in this world...
1:27:42
...to understand the other fellow's
problems, his point of view.
1:27:45
Now that's the truth.
1:27:47
Well, you see, our community
is made up of people...
1:27:50
...who've worked hard
as the dickens...
1:27:52
...to build up that little community.
1:27:54
Now, we're not rich or fancy people.
1:27:58
I mean, we're just hard-working,
honest people...
1:28:01
...who don't really have much
but those little homes...
1:28:05
...and a dream of the kind
of community we want...
1:28:08
...to raise our children in.
1:28:10
Well, now, I don't say
that we're perfect.
1:28:13
And there's a lot wrong in some
of the things we want.
1:28:16
But you've got to admit
that a man, right or wrong...
1:28:19
...has the right to want to have the
neighborhood he lives in...
1:28:21
...in a certain kind of way.
1:28:23
At the moment, the overwhelming
majority of people out there feel...
1:28:28
...that people get along better...
1:28:30
...take more of a common interest in
the life of the community...
1:28:34
...when they share
a common background.
1:28:40
Now wait.
1:28:41
Now wait.
1:28:43
I want you to believe me
when I tell you...
1:28:45
...that race prejudice simply
doesn't enter into it.
1:28:50
It's a matter of the people of
Clybourne Park believing...
1:28:54
...rightly or wrongly, as I say...
1:28:56
...that for the happiness
of all concerned...
1:28:59
...that our Negro families
are happier...
