Good afternoon. Looks good.
:15:16
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
:15:19
I'm looking for some information.
:15:24
- I ain't got nothin' to say to you, sir.
- Just a few questions.

:15:32
I ain't got nothin' to say to you, sir.
:15:52
The civil rights boys came to propose
setting up a voter registration clinic.

:15:58
Before the locals got a chance to say yes,
the Klan burned 'em down.

:16:01
- You give a man a vote but he can't use it.
- Yeah, that's the way it works.

:16:05
What did their office in Rossville say?
:16:08
That the boys came back here
to apologize to the congregation.

:16:12
"Sorry you folks didn't get to vote. "
:16:14
"I suppose most of you
never knew you even had one. "

:16:18
"Now you got no place to go on Sunday. "
:16:22
Apparently, after they came back here,
they talked to some locals down the road.

:16:26
- I think that's where we should start.
- Oh, they won't talk to you.

:16:31
These people have to live here
long after we're gone.

:16:34
They'd rather bite their tongue off
than talk to us.

:16:37
Bureau procedure, Mr. Anderson.
:16:47
The church caught fire
and you ran home. Is that correct?

:16:51
Yes, sir.
:16:52
And then the four white men
stopped you?

:16:55
Yes, sir.
:16:57
And these four white men
attacked your husband?
