20 cents?

Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

Today in Jessup County, Mississippi...
:05:23
...amidst the violence of this week,
the eyes of the nation...

:05:27
...are fixed on the search
for the missing civil rights workers.

:05:31
I think it's all a big hoax. But if they
are in that swamp, then they asked for it.

:05:36
Naval reserves have joined FBI
agents in searching for the missing men.

:05:42
I think they planned it. They're sittin' up in
New York laughin' at us Mississippi folks.

:05:46
- You think it's a hoax?
- A big hoax. They gonna find nothin'.

:05:49
- Hi.
- Hey, now!

:05:51
Civil rights leaders are optimistic
as to the young men's whereabouts.

:05:52
Just passin' by. Just sayin' hello.
You're not out watchin' the parade?

:05:56
But privately there is mounting concern
that they will ever be found alive.

:05:57
How come you don't ask me questions?
Everybody's been talked to 'cept me.

:06:00
They came lookin' for trouble
and found it.

:06:03
This is Marek Barlbobi, Network News,
Jessup County, Mississippi.

:06:05
Why don't you send some of them
good-lookin' FBI boys to talk to me?

:06:09
Tell you what I think they oughta be doin'.
Lookin' up in Canada for them boys...

:06:09
Sorry about the intrusion.
I was at the hardware store and...

:06:13
- Pecan?
- I'm sick of pecans.

:06:14
...instead of our swamps around here.
:06:16
Freedom! Freedom!
:06:16
I'll tell you somethin' else. I think it's
a stunt dreamed up by NAAC people.

:06:19
Are you willing to stand and fight?
- Yes!

:06:22
NAAC people?
- NAACP.

:06:25
Know what it stands for? Niggers,
Alligators, Apes, Coons and Possums.

:06:30
Tell you what you got.
You got your NAACP.

:06:32
You got your SNCC. You got your COFO.
:06:36
You know what all that mess is?
B- U-L-L-S-H-I-T.

:06:40
You got it?
:06:46
One day we won't have to say
"Good morning, sir, Mr. Sheriff. "

:06:51
Maybe there'll come a time when
we won't have to say "Mr. Stuckey".

:06:55
How'd you find out about this?
:06:56
One day there'll come a time when
we'll just say "Stuckey" or "Sheriff".

:06:58
Bureau procedure, Mr. Ward.
