4:17They've been traveling day and night. Carve it up to different nations. They're on their way to different countries. Carve it up to the north, south, east and west. They're on their way to a land of red. And they've been going down the heavily wide. You know we don't sing and never get tired. And they've been going things somewhere not going up there. And they've been going to shine all our travel over. You know we've done the same going like you've been so good to me. You know I come to sing God.

5:17This evening I'll come and sing Him. This evening you know all night long. Gonna tell His angels what you know of me. God in this morning. God told His angels. Him my name. Him my name. I wrote Him morning. I wrote Him morning. I feel like shouting. I feel like shouting. I feel like shouting. I feel like shouting.

6:20I've got faith on Him. I've got faith on Him. Faith on Him. Faith on Him. So, oh, God in good to me. I've got faith on Him. Faith on Him. Faith on Him. Faith on Him. Faith on Him. King my hand, beat me home.

29:11The soul of the sea, my love. The soul of the sea, my love. The soul of the sea, my love. I'm truly standing in the presence of greatness. I've been meaning to contact you. You see, it's my belief that you can play a significant role as an ally for the movement. No, anything I can do to support the cause I'm willing. As you know, we advocate non-violence as we strive for a peaceful resolution for the tyranny brought against all people. Because of this approach, we need more allies. You'll dock the king whatever I have to do. I'm in this fight with you. You just let me know. All right. Take care of that, boys.

30:11Thank you, Dr. King. Let the mom move the king. Hello, ma'am. I would like to order a turkey. Hello, ma'am. I would like to order a turkey sandwich, please. We don't serve niggers here. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see the sign. We don't need a sign and had his bird. Everybody knows we don't serve y'all kind here.

31:11Okay. I miss you, ma'am. Especially in Europe. How has the gospel artist been able to draw such a diverse and far-reaching fan base? Well, I've been blessed by the mighty Lord to have people who love the music. I've sung and told you and to emperors and queens. I've sung a million of people around the world. So, you know, it's hard to hear the word fan. When in my heart, I feel like we're all just a big old family. It's not only in the United States,

32:12but worldwide, especially in Europe. How has the gospel artist been able to draw such a diverse and far-reaching fan base? Well, I've been blessed by the mighty Lord to have people who love the music. I've sung and told you and to emperors and queens. I've sung a million of people around the world. So, you know, it's hard to hear the word fan. When in my heart, I feel like we're all just a big old family, all different colors. And it's the music that brings us together. It's like you're enjoying it. My hell, yeah. Now, this is how you're supposed to cook. We're in the world. Did you learn how to cook chicken like this? What do you mean? I'm from New Orleans. And if you can't cook, you ain't from New Orleans. I'm moving to New Orleans.

33:12You can ask John, I've been there for church, house, picnic, from here to Mississippi. And I'm aware this can't everybody cook. You better stop talking about the people's food. Yeah, I'd rather talk about it. Eat it. Much, much better. Now, as you keep this up now, you might snag your husband. Oh, no. I'm waiting on Jesus. He's the only husband I need. My heaven. Jesus is a confirmed bachelor. He won't be waiting a very long time. Very long. Sincerely, Martin. Hey, how do you feel the way things have changed? Seeing all these changes, what's your heart like? I'm about to tell you the truth. Some moments I see great change. Other than that, I pray for more. The God's will be done. I'm still, you must feel good.

34:12People's hearts are waking in there. Voices are opening. And that ain't nothing to Jesus. Am I another dream I have? I'm kind of dream. A few nights ago, I couldn't sleep. Had a lot of my mind. I'm sure you do. When I finally fell asleep, it was a deep sleep. Almost like it was real. What was in the dream, Martin? Well, I was people everywhere. And I'm not just talking about any people. People of every color, every nation, every religion. All of us treated equal. And that is a beautiful dream. Yes, it is.

35:14You want some more chicken junk? Well, you ain't heard about John Wood. What about John? Yeah, he's been all over the South, baby. John, Martin, tell it on you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. And the little seas to roll. All right now, y'all. See you next week, great work.

36:14Woo! Girl, that made me the best thing and I've ever heard of my life. Excuse me? Do I know you? Possibly. I've been picking up my friend James from rehearsing the last couple of nights. Oh, that's where I've seen you before. James played drums with the band, all right? So I guess we aren't strangers after all. I guess not. Well, I gotta go. Wait, can I give you a call sometime? Well, I don't think so. Oh, please. I'd like to get to know you. Just give me a few minutes of your time. Sigma was my second husband. And we fell in love quickly. I guess you can say he swept me off my feet. Jackson, Jackson. He was a charming one, that one.

37:15Sounds like a whirlwind romance. It was. But you know like everything else in life. It took a time. But if you look at this column, I'm telling you, we are still on track to improve our revenue 28%. Only 28%. Malia, 28%. It's good. You won't track for a band a year. Good is not enough. Not the way I work. I need better. Well, what do you propose we do? You see here, it says that it looks like the balances we're not receiving all our balances from the venues. Well, most of them, yes. But you know, from time to time, they have different reasons. Why? It excuses them all, like, the excuses. Why they don't want to pay. I mean, some promoters, they pay late. Some of them not at all. No, we're not playing that game. Everybody got to pay late due. Spread the word to all the venues.

38:16I've won all the money's up front before I perform on stage. That'll take care of that. Yes, ma'am. Well, is there anything else? Yes, there is. All right? There was another figure to perform on. In Los Vegas. In Los Vegas? No seat. Malia! Look, the promoters are offering 25,000 dollars a week for you to sing at the Flamingo Hotel. Tell them I decline. I'm sorry. I just don't understand. Why? Because I'm not compromising my principles over money. Not doing it. The show ministry is just rather good news. To send us, not to drugs. I'm not performing in a place that sells alcohol. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. I will let them know. Anything else?

39:16Good. Yes. Dr. King has also requested that you make more appearances as Israeli. Yes, yes, of course. Let them know it's fine. Okay. Is there something going on? I feel like you want to say something. You could talk to me. I've been getting a lot of home calls. Oh. I just don't know how to say this. Just speak your mind, baby. The sick man's been singing with enough of one man. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the extra. Thank you. Thank you so much. My thanks, ma'am.

40:19Can you call later? Later. I'll call you later. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Okay. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. See you later.

41:19Maywea, listen. You're experiencing extensive diabetes and heart complications. But you've been traveling, touring back to back, recording. Your body needs rest. Dr. I appreciate everything you say. And you say, I really do, but this is my calling. This is what I do. God's work. Well, you know, you can do God's work and get rest, too. The end of the day, the decision is yours. But if you don't make some serious changes, and I mean quickly, then listen, just slow down, OK? Yeah. Thank you, Dr..

42:36Martin, they were right. They're preparing them for the march. Mainly, I appreciate you traveling all this way from Louisville to Assistant March. Martin, like I said before, I'm always here. It's just so hard. It's just so much heat spread down the cell. Eight is a die disease. We have yet to find the cure. My people are in a critical moment in this country, as we said, our next move. But what challenges do we face down here in Louisville? I'm a brother. Eight days in for me of some inequalities, discrimination, housing, and development. What are the inequalities that we see? Well, limited housing for blacks on one side while a wife or a given the ability to live free. That sounds just like New Orleans. On one side of the street, you have the halves, and on the other, you have the hadnots. The only difference is our blacks. The only difference is our black brothers and sisters

43:36in this city deserve to live the same freedoms as our white brothers and sisters. Why does everything for us have to be so hard? Because we're not marching for just us. We're marching for those men and women. We managed up the confidence to walk off that bus. Men and women who may not understand the magnitude of what they're about to face. We reached with the task of educating them. Raising up a new generation. Young minds, that will embrace the potential of new possibilities. Young minds lack the patience we want to have. It's like they've worn everything now. Perseverance, they'll get it. The equal housing will be a luxury, future generation will take for granted. We've all been called for a magnificent moment.

44:42Today, in this place, we will be visited by history. We're not going to lie to you today. You will be met with some of the most vicious acts of hatred some of you have ever encountered. But remember what brought you here. What your reasons were for braving those fears that paralyzed most yet rose you up from your complacency. Freedom is what we seek here today. A call for something that is greater than ourselves. A moment in your life where you must make a decision, a formidable decision. Decision is not whether we move or we know we must move. The decision is whether we move with the force and strength power from enough to shatter the very stones

45:44of hatred that have surrounded us on all sides. It'll only walk. It'll try the very center of your heart and resound in the depths of your souls yet we find the heart. No way we travel this dream out alone. But God is with us on this journey towards justice. God is not just in the first step, he's in the last step and his step is eternal and will carry us towards freedom. Amen, dear. That's right. All right. Let's go. We'll explain to your fans the intricate friendship you had with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Martin. Martin. He wasn't just a treasure to the world. He was a treasure to me.

46:44He was an icon. Even before I met him I knew God himself had sent him here to heal this world. When did you realize you would become a pivotal part of the movement? Oh, I knew early on. God spoke it to me. Martin would share his dreams for this world. He wanted us to be united. He wanted us to be one.

49:21Things of the powerful words from ourointed system are hanging out. The words that stood out clearly, proudly and boldly for me, the very last line. And the walls came tumbling down. The walls that are surrounded the Negro race for many a year now. The walls of injustice have imprisoned our people for generations. The walls that have kept our children from seeing the optimistic possibilities that should be freely given to every girl and every boy. The walls have kept our young black men attacked from every side and prevented our young black women from the respect in which they are entitled. I just don't buy to tell you tonight. I'm tired of sitting back and sitting still. We will march against the pervasive hatred that has bound us from freedom.

50:23We will march against the oppression that has clenched innocent minds on the basis of color. We will march against the rapid attacks of police brutality and inequality. There's nothing dwelling on earth that God has not in. He's in the mountains and in the valleys and Mississippi, Alabama. He's in high places yet dwells in the low. He's wasting when you're up and even closer when you're down. His love surrounds you and you're joy, and even more in your pain at the church scene, man. Please give a warm and lateral welcome to Miss Mahalia Jackson. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

51:23Thank you. That's a line, man. I know y'all look. Why have you come on now? Have you feelin' alright? Say, God is great. God is great. Yes, it's so good to see your faces. You know, I want to stop with my favorite song. It's called How I Got Home. Do you know that song? That was written by my good friend, Miss Clara Lorde. You know, sometimes in life, we go through things and it seems like it's impossible to make it through. Things come round, we don't expect, and it feels like we can't make it over. We have problems at work, problems at home. And we can't even walk down the street without being beaten down for the color of our skin. How did y'all know that we have the same young? That we're taller and taller.

52:25Alright? We're ready to go in the town. Well, let me tell you about me. How I got home. How I got home. How did I make it over. Oh, my show. Look back and wonder. How did I make it over. Oh, I made it over. Come in, oh, no. All these years. Oh, my show. Look back and wonder. How did I make it over. Oh, my show. But you know, as I see Jesus. The man.

53:28Oh, my show. Look back and wonder. How did I make it over. Oh, my show. Look back and wonder. Look back and wonder. Look back and wonder. Look back and wonder. Look back and wonder. I've been falling in the eyes. All these years. What you know, my show. Look back and wonder. How did I make it over. I'm all the way out. I'm done. In love with you.

54:31I'm gonna walk the streets of the home. In life, home. I'm gonna keep my soul. And I'm gonna view the whole street. They've been traveling. Yeah, yeah. I'm in a home at Greenwich. They only went to the great country. They come from another town. East and West. They only went to a land of reds. They're gonna join the heavenly club. Yes, we go and shout. There's a good time. And there we go and shout. For we have a new year. And we don't shout. All our trouble over.

55:33You know we got to make up. We can't forget. So long to be here. Hello? Miss Malia? Yes. You got a phone call? No, we're calling Mr. Malia. It's not the king. Hello? It's not the king. Hello? Hello, Martin. Everything okay? What's this?

56:33It's been a mighty long day. I think I could use some encouragement. Of course, Martin. I completely understand. Let's see. I think what comes to mind is this. I must tell Jesus all of my trials. I cannot bear these burdens alone. In my distress he kindly will help me.

57:37He ever loves and cares for his own. I must, Martin. You must tell Jesus. You must tell Jesus. I cannot bear these burdens alone. I must tell Jesus. I must tell Jesus. Jesus can help me.

58:40Jesus alone. Thank you. And then, certainly, the world turned dark. Hey. What is it? I'm so sorry. Simon, about what? What is it? I'm sorry.

59:42I'm sorry I talked to King. He's dead. I'm sorry. I killed him baby. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. In time like me, will you stay here?

1:00:49In time like me. Lord, we'll be friends. What being very showable. We'll be together. We'll show love. Your ankle. And we'll be friends.

1:01:53We'll be friends. Oh, that rock is Jesus. Yes. He's my only friend. That rock is Jesus. Lord, you are different. But be very showable.

1:02:53Be there, very showable. Your ankle. And we'll be friends. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

1:03:59Yes. Yes. But be very showable. Be there, very showable. Your ankle. And we'll be friends.

1:05:02We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends.

1:14:26I believe that someone in the bread somewhere. He is everywhere. Every time I hear a newborn baby cry. I see the sky. I know I know I will.

1:15:40We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends.

1:16:48We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends. We'll be friends.
