Well, what y'all gonna do? Wait or leave?
:14:03
We're gonna wait
cos we wanna be near you.

- There are some empty seats down there.
- Uh, Mr. Ward...

:14:10
That's colored down there.
Don't even think about it.

:14:13
- People here are gettin' ready to leave.
- Aren't you hungry, Mr. Anderson?

:14:26
Good afternoon. Looks good.
:14:38
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
:14:41
I'm looking for some information.
:14:46
- I ain't got nothin' to say to you, sir.
- Just a few questions.

:14:53
I ain't got nothin' to say to you, sir.

The civil rights boys came to propose
setting up a voter registration clinic.

:15:19
Before the locals got a chance to say yes,
the Klan burned 'em down.

:15:22
- You give a man a vote but he can't use it.
- Yeah, that's the way it works.

:15:26
What did their office in Rossville say?
:15:28
That the boys came back here
to apologize to the congregation.

:15:32
"Sorry you folks didn't get to vote. "
:15:34
"I suppose most of you
never knew you even had one. "

:15:38
"Now you got no place to go on Sunday. "
:15:42
Apparently, after they came back here,
they talked to some locals down the road.

:15:46
- I think that's where we should start.
- Oh, they won't talk to you.

:15:51
These people have to live here
long after we're gone.

:15:54
They'd rather bite their tongue off
than talk to us.

:15:56
Bureau procedure, Mr. Anderson.
