Not raccoons, you idiot. Niggers .

And they want to go
to school with us.

:22:06
With us? They do?

[TV Reporter]
Shortly after Govern or Wallace

:22:10
had carried out his promise
to block the door way,

:22:13
Kennedy ordered these cretary
of defense to use military force.

:22:16
Here, by video tape,
is the encounter

:22:18
by General Graham, commander
of the National Guard,

:22:21
and Govern or Wallace.
:22:22
Because these National Guardsmen
:22:25
are here today as
federal soldiers for Alabama,

:22:28
and they live within our borders.
:22:30
They are our brothers.
:22:32
We are winning in this fight,
:22:35
because we are awakening
the American people

:22:38
to the dangers that
we have spoken about so many times

:22:41
that is so evident today- -
:22:43
A trend to ward military
dictatorship in this country.

:22:50
And so, at day's end,
:22:52
the University of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa had been desegregated,

:22:55
and students Jimmy Hood
and Vivian Malone

:22:58
had been signed up
for summer classes.

:23:03
Ma'am, you dropped your book.
:23:05
Ma'am.
:23:07
[Chet Huntley] Govern or Wallace
did what he promised.

:23:09
By being on the Tuscaloosa campus,
he kept the mob...

:23:12
Say, wasn't that Gump?
:23:14
Naw, that couldn't be.
:23:16
It sure as hell was.
:23:22

A few years later,

:23:24
that angry little man
at the school house door

:23:26
thought it'd be a good idea
and ran for president.

:23:32
But somebody thought
that it wasn't.

:23:35
But he didn't die.
:23:43
My bus is here .
:23:45
Is it the number 9?
:23:47
No, it's the number 4.
:23:48
It was nice talking to you.
:23:54
I remember when that happened,
:23:56
when Wallace got shot.
:23:57
I was in college.
:23:58
Did you go to a girls' college
