1:18:01
and what they think
about your chances.
1:18:03
They say you are inferior.
1:18:05
Come on!
1:18:06
Come on!
1:18:08
Come on! Come on!
1:18:11
"You are just a bunch of niggers
and spics and poor white trash."
1:18:16
"Education is wasted on you."
1:18:21
"You cannot learn!"
1:18:23
You're lost!
1:18:27
I mean all of you.
1:18:29
I want all the white students
to stand up.
1:18:33
All my white students,
stand up.
1:18:35
Come on.
1:18:36
Stand up.
Stand up.
1:18:38
That's it.
Come on, stand up.
1:18:41
These are my white children,
1:18:44
and they're the same
as all of you.
1:18:47
They've got no place to go.
1:18:48
Otherwise, they would have
abandoned us a long time ago,
1:18:52
but they couldn't.
1:18:55
So here they are at eastside,
just like the rest of us.
1:18:59
You can sit down.
1:19:00
Are you getting my point,
people?
1:19:03
Yes!
1:19:04
Is it sinking in?
1:19:06
Yes!
1:19:07
We sink, we swim.
1:19:10
We rise, we fall.
1:19:11
We meet our fate together!
1:19:18
Now, it took the help
of a good, good friend
1:19:24
to make me know
and understand that,
1:19:27
and i do understand it,
and i'm grateful.
1:19:30
I'm eternally grateful.
1:19:35
And i've got a message
for those people out there
1:19:39
who've abandoned you
and written you off.
1:19:42
Can you hear me?
1:19:44
Yes!
1:19:45
Can you hear me?
1:19:46
Yes!
1:19:47
Good!
1:19:49
You are not inferior!
1:19:55
Your grades may be.
1:19:57
Your school may have been.
1:19:59
But you can turn that around
