:28:01
and I had quite a few white-type
of school kids with me.

:28:06
I'm forty-nine.
:28:08
At that time, I had white kids
going to school with me.

:28:12
I would have peanut butter.
:28:17
I don't want it...
:28:19
but I ate so much when
my mother gave it to me.

:28:21
With apple butter.
:28:24
I got two cans of it now.
:28:26
That I don't eat because...
:28:29
whitey was eating
ham sandwiches...

:28:32
and I was eating
peanut butter sandwiches.

:28:35
Sandwiches!
:28:39
I got to get out of this town
for some Southern times.

:28:41
Let me out of here.
That's right.

:28:43
Suck! The bus only cost
$17 to New York.

:28:47
I say, "l ain't made
$17 in two weeks."

:28:53
Got air to live.
:29:02
Riding a ship
coming out of Pearl Harbor.

:29:09
And all my white friends...
:29:12
then we drank water
out of the ditches.

:29:17
If I had a K-ration,
I gave them some of it.

:29:21
And...
:29:23
I would ride this bus.
:29:25
I couldn't sit with my friend
on this bus at Houston, Texas.

:29:28
I had to ride
at the back end of this bus.

:29:31
I'm about to get hot now.
As a matter of fact...

:29:34
you couldn't even go no place
down South riding a bus.

:29:44
Couldn't even get a soda...
:29:45
walk in there
and get you a sandwich.

:29:53
I don't give a damn
about who's racist.

:29:54
I just want equality.
:29:56
Be equal with the next guy,
because I'm paying my taxes.

:29:58
That's a different thing now.
