to take a vote at this time.

The people must be heard!

- I believe the people have been heard.

I think it's time

to vote on this issue.

Miriam, would you ask the good doctor

how much he's getting from Valley Corp?

I'd be very interested in knowing that.

- Sarah, that is not appropriate.

May I interject, please?

Oh, here we go.

Uh, yes. Come forward.

L. Donn Murray?

Yeah. What about it?

Go to hell.

Miriam, I am still speaking.

Excuse me, Madam President.

I just wanted to ask if anybody

in this room was familiar...

with Antonio Gonsalvez,

attorney at law.

- Dr. Ralmer?

You must know who he is.

Mr. Gonsalvez was a community

leader in Obregon, Texas...

where Valley Corp

built a casino resort.

With the support of Mr. Gonsalvez...

Valley Corp was able to displace

much of the Latino community...

with the promise of future employment

which never materialized.

Friends of mine in the

Texas Attorney General's office...

have informed me

that Mr. Gonsalvez...

has received a sizable amount

of Valley Corp stock...

in exchange for helping to

shepherd this project through.

Mm-hmm.

This sound familiar now,

Dr. Ralmer?

I think we've heard enough.

The council is ready to vote.

I been lookin' all over

this dead-ass town for work...

and I can't find nothin'.

I was the best driver

you ever had, and you know that!

Goddamn you, Jack Herrod!

You be on time in the mornin'.

# Well, in the mornin'#

# When I rise #

- # When I rise #

How you doin', Mr. Malcolm?

- # #

# When I rise

I wanna rise boldly #

# When I rise #

# Boldly #

- # When I rise #

# Early in the mornin'#

- # When I rise #

# Early in the mornin' #

- # When I rise #

# Won't hear lies

Won't doubt the Father #

# Won't hear lies, Won't doubt the Father #

- # Lord #

# When I #

# When I #

# Rise # #

Evenin'.

Evenin'.

Most of my life I-

I lived in my f-father's shadow.

The darkness of that shadow

kept me from...

hearin' his true voice.

And the pain I felt

f- from losin' him-

I can't describe it.

I grew up...

right- right down there.

That road right down there.

I was raised with

my father's love and kindness...

a-and a mission...

to do what's right.

After he was taken from us...

I stopped believing

in that mission.

I didn't believe we had the power

to change the way things are.

Tonight, I see

the spirit of Raul Malcolm...

in my wife Sarah

and in all of you.

Because of her leadership

and your unity and courage...

Gospel Hill can remain

a home for us all.

I-I wish that for-for

all- all your children. I hope-

I hope they grow up

in a community...

like mine.

A community...

named after the word of God.

Named after the word of God.

- Amen.

Gospel Hill.

- Amen.

Amen. Gospel Hill.

All right.

- Amen.

A- Amen.

# You can't turn me around #

# Oh, no #

# Oh, no #

- I'm so proud of you.

# Oh, no #

# Oh, yeah, just #

- # Keep on movin' on #

# Lord, I gotta keep on #

- # Keep on movin' on #

# Keep on movin'#

- # Keep on movin' on #

Peace, brother.

Peace be with you.

Mr. Malcolm.

Considering the

state of the country

and the recent shootings of

Dr. King and Senator Kennedy...

aren't you concerned

about your own safety?

Dr. King and Senator Kennedy

aren't the first to pass on.

There are people dyin' all over the world

for what they believe in.

No, no. No, I don't wanna die.

But I can't live in fear either.

That ain't livin'.

Only thing I'm afraid of is God.

And there have been many who

have fallen at the hands of others.

Men kill and men die...

but the world is still here.

When I'm gone-

when all y'all are gone-

the world will still be here.

And the work... will keep goin' on.

Amen to that.

- Thank you, brother.

We're with you, Mr. Malcolm.

- Stay strong now.

I love you, Pop.
