What in us seeks truth?
:59:05
Our minds...
:59:07
...or is it our hearts?
:59:13
I tried to prove blacks could
get a fair trial in the South...

:59:16
...that we are all equal
in the eyes of the law.

:59:21
That's not the truth.
:59:23
The eyes of the law are human eyes...
:59:25
...yours and mine, and until we
can see each other as equals...

:59:29
...justice is never
going to be evenhanded.

:59:32
It will only be a reflection
of our own prejudices.

:59:36
So until that day...
:59:39
...we have a duty under
God to seek the truth...

:59:44
...not with our minds...
:59:46
...where fear and hate turn
commonality into prejudice...

:59:50
...but with our hearts...
:59:52
...but we don't know better.
:59:59
I want to tell you a story.
1:00:03
Please close your eyes...
1:00:07
...while I tell it.
1:00:13
I want you to listen to me.
I want you to listen to yourselves.

1:00:21
Go ahead.
1:00:22
Close your eyes, please.

This is a story about a little girl...
1:00:33
...walking home from the grocery
store one sunny afternoon.

1:00:38
I want you to picture this girl.
1:00:43
Suddenly a truck races up.
1:00:48
Two men grab her.
1:00:52
They drag her into a nearby field...
1:00:58
...and they tie her up...
