Oh, man, I'm watching this program
on termites.

:29:04
And them little itsy-bitsy things is
eatin' these people's whole house down.

:29:08
Oh, man, look.
:29:14
I've been invited to speak
at lbadan University in Nigeria.

:29:19
- You wanna go with me?
- Hey, look, man.

:29:22
You can have six million termites
in your house and don't even know it...

:29:26
till you going to get something to eat
and you bust through the floor.

:29:31
- What'd you say? Where?
- Africa. You been?

:29:36
Africa.
:29:37
All right, come on.
Let's go.

:29:45
What is it?
:29:51
You ever thought

When I was little, I tore out
this picture of Emmett Till.

:30:04
They put the barbed wire
around his neck...

:30:06
and strapped him
to that 75-pound cotton gin fan.

:30:10
And they cut out one ofhis eyes
'cause he looked at some white lady.

:30:16
Man.
:30:18
I couldn't take my eyes to it,
couldn't throw it away.

:30:25
When I heard about those...
:30:28
four little girls who got bombed
in that Birmingham church...

:30:35
the prohibitions ofthe Honorable
Elijah Muhammad prevented me...

:30:37
from speaking
my thoughts in action.

:30:42
Because Birmingham was part
ofthe civil rights struggle.

:30:44
You know, begging for our place
at the white man's table.

:30:48
But dead children
are dead children.

:30:51
So the anger I felt
I had to contain.

:30:57
I locked it up so tight...
