Then in college....
:24:05
My high school grades was too low
to do any dipping.
:24:13
-So you moving in?
-Buster's Place there.
:24:16
The folks weren't paying their taxes,
I took over the payments.
:24:21
-Then I picked up a few more lots.
-Speculation.
:24:27
More like preservation.
This place was part of my growing up.
:24:33
I don't want it to fall to pieces.
We got plenty of empty buildings.
:24:39
-You still got them hands.
-Yeah.
:24:46
I don't get to church much anymore.
:24:50
Sundays when I'm down there,
I go visit Etta Mae.
:24:58
We saw Daddy today.
:25:01
Yeah, he was one of a kind,
your father.
:25:05
The old breed.
Businessman. Race man.
:25:15
We'd go into Jacksonville,
people would say:
:25:20
"You're Mr. Stokes' daughter."
:25:25
Then they'd all fuss over me.
:25:30
Yeah, we didn't have politicians,
we had men like your father.
:25:35
He carried some weight in that city.
:25:41
It got to where I could hardly breathe
when I was near him.
:25:46
That man loved you to death.
:25:49
I only felt his eyes on me.
Judging me.
:25:55
It's hard to live up to
what's come before us.
