And what about when it
isn't just the busses?
When it's the parks
and the restaurants?
When it's colored teachers
in white schools?
What about when we start votin',
Mrs. Thompson? 'Cause we are.
And when we do,
we are gonna put Negroes in office.
What about when the first colored
family moves into your neighborhood?
You know, Mrs. Thompson,
ain't nobody gonna think any less of you
if we just turn around
and go back to the house.
I don't want all
them beans, Selma!
Eat what you're gonna eat, and I'll

- Mama!
- Don't be a crybaby.
- But it's beans!
- Hush up, and let's say the blessing.
I'll say it.

She's been here the last
couple of nights at this time.
Drivin' for a few weeks,
apparently.
I didn't find out
until this mornin'.
- Well, Norman, you had to know.
- Not like this!
I'm sorry, but now you
can't ignore it anymore.
- Well, I won't. - Now...
She's got Mary Catherine over there.
Don't go makin' a scene in front
of the child. Let me go. Hmm?
- This is my problem. I can handle it.
- Yeah, handle it.
At home, in private.
Not in front of the girl
and a bunch of n*ggers.
I can get rid of 'em.
I'll get 'em out of there.
Let it wait for a few minutes till things
start up. Then she'll wanna leave.
- Yeah, well, don't you get
cute with me. - Hey!
I made plans to be here
tonight a long time before
- we found out about your wife,
and so did you. - Huh, Christ.
Give me five minutes.
Hmm?
Let's go.

There are a couple
folks already here.

of the day. - Mm-hmm.
- We need some cars on
those routes. - Okay.
Now, uh...
Miriam.
- Do you know him?
- Yes.
- Is he trouble?
- No. I can handle this.
Excuse us.
Miriam, you shouldn't be here.
Is that Mary Catherine over there?
You shouldn't be bringin'
her into a place like this.
Well, Tunker, I don't think
it's any of your business.
I don't think you
heard me right, boy.
I'm okay.
Miriam, don't be tellin' me
this isn't any of my business.
- Well then, don't try to run my life.
- You should leave.
- Tunker, there are some women dependin'
on me for a ride. - Can I help you?
They'll be here any minute.
- I'll leave then.
- Yeah, you got an ashtray?
If you don't have any business here,
I'd appreciate it if you'd leave the lot.
Well, if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it
if you got your black ass out of my face.
Miriam.
Miriam.
In a few minutes, 150 men are gonna
shut this lot down... any way they can.

why his little girl was

Winston, what do you think I should

- Get off my back, n*gger.
- What's happening?
- Come on, baby.
- Charlie!
- You gonna hit me, black boy, huh?
Odessa, we've gotta go.
You ain't drivin' your
n*gger maid out of here.
Get away from my car.
No, you get away from your car.
You wanna act like a n*gger?
Then you just get your daughter and
walk with the rest of the n*ggers.
What do y'all think we ought to do
with Mrs. Martin Luther Coon, huh?
- We're gonna show you what we
think about n*ggers. - Martin. Martin!
Martin.
All right.
If she leaves, she walks
with the rest of the n*ggers.
Miriam, you lost this one.
Let's go.
- Get her out of here.
- Don't let him treat you that way.
- Shut this parking lot down.
- You a man or a mouse?
Go to hell, Tunker. Just go to hell, you...
ignorant son of a b*tch.

You were told, n*gger, to get out of here
and by God, I'm gonna move you!
Open up a space to let her through.
We can get her out of here!
Why you still standing there? You bunch
of n*ggers think you can come in here
and cause trouble without thinkin'
we're gonna do anything about it?
Well, I got news for ya! We are gonna
