:27:01
I'm forty-nine.
:27:03
At that time, I had white kids
going to school with me.
:27:07
I would have peanut butter.
:27:11
I don't want it...
:27:13
but I ate so much when
my mother gave it to me.
:27:16
With apple butter.
:27:19
I got two cans of it now.
:27:21
That I don't eat because...
:27:23
whitey was eating
ham sandwiches...
:27:26
and I was eating
peanut butter sandwiches.
:27:30
Sandwiches!
:27:33
I got to get out of this town
for some Southern times.
:27:35
Let me out of here.
That's right.
:27:37
Suck! The bus only cost
$17 to New York.
:27:41
I say, "l ain't made
$17 in two weeks."
:27:46
Got air to live.
:27:55
Riding a ship
coming out of Pearl Harbor.
:28:02
And all my white friends...
:28:05
then we drank water
out of the ditches.
:28:09
If I had a K-ration,
I gave them some of it.
:28:13
And...
:28:15
I would ride this bus.
:28:18
I couldn't sit with my friend
on this bus at Houston, Texas.
:28:20
I had to ride
at the back end of this bus.
:28:23
I'm about to get hot now.
As a matter of fact...
:28:25
you couldn't even go no place
down South riding a bus.
:28:35
Couldn't even get a soda...
:28:36
walk in there
and get you a sandwich.
:28:44
I don't give a damn
about who's racist.
:28:45
I just want equality.
:28:47
Be equal with the next guy,
because I'm paying my taxes.
:28:49
That's a different thing now.
:28:51
I'm a working man,
and I'm paying my taxes.
:28:53
The money is what's happening.
:28:54
See what I mean?
:28:57
It all counts...
when is what's happening.
:28:58
I'm talking about...
