Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

Today in Jessup County, Mississippi...
:05:10
...amidst the violence of this week,
the eyes of the nation...

:05:14
...are fixed on the search
for the missing civil rights workers.

:05:18
I think it's all a big hoax. But if they
are in that swamp, then they asked for it.

:05:22
Naval reserves have joined FBI
agents in searching for the missing men.

:05:28
I think they planned it. They're sittin' up in
New York laughin' at us Mississippi folks.

:05:32
- You think it's a hoax?
- A big hoax. They gonna find nothin'.

:05:35
- Hi.
- Hey, now!

:05:37
Civil rights leaders are optimistic
as to the young men's whereabouts.

:05:38
Just passin' by. Just sayin' hello.
You're not out watchin' the parade?

:05:41
But privately there is mounting concern
that they will ever be found alive.

:05:42
How come you don't ask me questions?
Everybody's been talked to 'cept me.

:05:45
They came lookin' for trouble
and found it.

:05:48
This is Marek Barlbobi, Network News,
Jessup County, Mississippi.

:05:50
Why don't you send some of them
good-lookin' FBI boys to talk to me?

:05:54
Tell you what I think they oughta be doin'.
Lookin' up in Canada for them boys...

:05:54
Sorry about the intrusion.
I was at the hardware store and...

:05:58
- Pecan?
- I'm sick of pecans.

:05:58
...instead of our swamps around here.
:06:00
Freedom! Freedom!
:06:01
I'll tell you somethin' else. I think it's
a stunt dreamed up by NAAC people.

:06:03
Are you willing to stand and fight?
- Yes!

:06:06
NAAC people?
- NAACP.

:06:09
Know what it stands for? Niggers,
Alligators, Apes, Coons and Possums.

:06:14
Tell you what you got.
You got your NAACP.

:06:16
You got your SNCC. You got your COFO.
:06:20
You know what all that mess is?
B- U-L-L-S-H-I-T.

:06:24
You got it?
:06:29
One day we won't have to say
"Good morning, sir, Mr. Sheriff. "

:06:34
Maybe there'll come a time when
we won't have to say "Mr. Stuckey".

:06:38
How'd you find out about this?
:06:38
One day there'll come a time when
we'll just say "Stuckey" or "Sheriff".

:06:41
Bureau procedure, Mr. Ward.
:06:43
And one day there'll come a time when
the sheriff won't even be a white man.

:06:54
Sheriff Stuckey.
:06:57
He got his phone call.
:06:57
Hello.
