...who don't really have much
but those little homes...

1:28:05
...and a dream of the kind
of community we want...

1:28:08
...to raise our children in.
1:28:10
Well, now, I don't say
that we're perfect.

1:28:13
And there's a lot wrong in some
of the things we want.

1:28:16
But you've got to admit
that a man, right or wrong...

1:28:19
...has the right to want to have the
neighborhood he lives in...

1:28:21
...in a certain kind of way.
1:28:23
At the moment, the overwhelming
majority of people out there feel...

1:28:28
...that people get along better...
1:28:30
...take more of a common interest in
the life of the community...

1:28:34
...when they share
a common background.

1:28:40
Now wait.
1:28:41
Now wait.
1:28:43
I want you to believe me
when I tell you...

1:28:45
...that race prejudice simply
doesn't enter into it.

1:28:50
It's a matter of the people of
Clybourne Park believing...

1:28:54
...rightly or wrongly, as I say...
1:28:56
...that for the happiness
of all concerned...

1:28:59
...that our Negro families
are happier...

1:29:03
...when they live in
their own communities.

1:29:08
This, friends,
is the Welcoming Committee.

1:29:19
This is what you come all the
way across town to tell us, huh?

1:29:23
We've been having
a fine conversation.

1:29:25
I hope you'll hear me
all the way through.

1:29:27
Come on.
1:29:29
Well, you see, in the face
of all the things I've said...

1:29:32
...we're prepared to make your family
a very generous offer.

1:29:34
Thirty pieces and not a coin less.
1:29:37
Now, our association is prepared,
through the collective efforts...

1:29:41
...of our people...
1:29:42
...to buy the house from you at
a financial gain to your family.

1:29:45
Lord have mercy.
Ain't this the living gall!

1:29:53
All right.
1:29:55
Through?
1:29:56
Now, the exact terms
of the financial arrangement...

1:29:58
I don't want no exact terms
of no financial arrangements.
