Part 1 of 2
“Route 1 is… a thin stretch of asphalt cutting through all the old dreams of a nation.” – Robert Kramer
In 1988, nearly a decade after leaving the US for France, renegade filmmaker Robert Kramer returns. “Back,” he emphasizes. Not “home.” To try to understand the contemporary United States, he decides to travel the entire length of Route 1, from the Canadian border to Key West, filming all the way for five months. His companion on the trip is Doc—ostensibly Kramer’s friend, a brooding physician back after a harrowing decade working in Africa. But in fact, he’s a fictional character played by actor Paul McIsaac. This may seem like an odd choice, but McIsaac’s Doc is a compassionate man who readily engages with everyone from business owners, to factory workers, to army recruits.
For a road movie, ROUTE ONE/USA features remarkably few shots of the open road itself. Instead, we are treated to a series of stops along the way—an Indian reserve in Maine, Walden Pond, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC, a Georgia diner, Thanksgiving dinner at a homeless shelter, and evangelical churches that preach the “truth” about the anti-apartheid movement and the dangers of Disney. There are plenty of characters along the way too, and appearances by televangelist Pat Robertson and Jesse Jackson, as they campaign for president.
It’s not just the people who make the film though. Kramer has an extraordinary eye for people, patterns, and industrial processes (you’ll never look at Monopoly or tinned sardines the same way again), and his visuals shine through in this beautifully restored edition.
ROUTE ONE/USA was shot more than 30 years ago, but it feels remarkably contemporary in its portrayal of many of the racial, social, and economic challenges America continues to face.
“It is an extraordinary, fluidly shaped mosaic of the fragmented pockets of American life that together compose the mainstream.” —Caryn James, The New York Times

00:02:20.587 --> 00:02:22.821
6
00:02:22.821 --> 00:02:25.221
We decided to come back together.
7
00:02:25.221 --> 00:02:28.306
We\'d been away a long time, 10 years,
8
00:02:28.306 --> 00:02:31.889
Doc in Africa, me in Europe, making movies.
9
00:02:35.371 --> 00:02:37.365
Doc\'s Africa was war,
10
00:02:37.365 --> 00:02:40.854
bombed out hospitals, cities burning in the sun.
11
00:02:40.854 --> 00:02:43.066
He never talked about it.

00:02:50.101 --> 00:02:54.214
Coming back is what we said, not home, but back,
14
00:02:54.214 --> 00:02:58.047
back there behind you, the origins, the start.
15
00:03:00.177 --> 00:03:03.462
I was born in the shadow of the Empire State building.
16
00:03:03.462 --> 00:03:04.902
I know the Empire City.
17
00:03:04.902 --> 00:03:07.103
I didn\'t want to start our trip there.
18
00:03:07.103 --> 00:03:09.098
Let\'s go north, I said to Doc,
19
00:03:09.098 --> 00:03:10.497
All the way north, Doc,
20
00:03:10.497 --> 00:03:12.925
into the country, to the Canadian border,
21
00:03:12.925 --> 00:03:15.243
to where Route 1 starts,
22
00:03:15.243 --> 00:03:16.824
and then make our way down the coast
23
00:03:16.824 --> 00:03:19.353
through the old colonies, the old capitals,
24
00:03:19.353 --> 00:03:21.492
the states of our growing up,
25
00:03:21.492 --> 00:03:23.544
try to follow this road all the way down
26
00:03:23.544 --> 00:03:25.723
to the end in Key West.
27
00:03:25.723 --> 00:03:26.640
Let\'s go.

00:04:29.969 --> 00:04:31.219
31
00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:34.540
Listen to this.
32
00:04:36.239 --> 00:04:38.072
Song of the open road.
33
00:04:39.089 --> 00:04:42.108
Afoot in light hearted I take to the open road.
34
00:04:42.108 --> 00:04:44.331
Healthy, free, the world before me,
35
00:04:44.331 --> 00:04:49.331
the long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.
36
00:04:49.755 --> 00:04:51.433
Isn\'t that nice?
37
00:04:51.433 --> 00:04:53.523

[laughing]
38
00:04:53.523 --> 00:04:55.415
39
00:04:55.415 --> 00:04:56.913
How come you chose Whitman?
40
00:04:56.913 --> 00:04:59.113
41
00:04:59.113 --> 00:05:02.445
and there\'s the other America down the road there
42
00:05:02.445 --> 00:05:07.445
and I felt like I needed something to hold up against it.
43
00:05:07.678 --> 00:05:10.761
[machinery whirring]
44
00:05:19.766 --> 00:05:23.099
This is my new acquisition for the trip.
45
00:05:25.265 --> 00:05:26.994
Good slicker.
46
00:05:26.994 --> 00:05:31.994

00:06:05.667 --> 00:06:08.667
49
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.674
three short rings.
50
00:06:13.674 --> 00:06:16.424
Maybe it\'d be a long and a short.
51
00:06:18.768 --> 00:06:21.195
Usually, I didn\'t get away from it too far.
52
00:06:21.195 --> 00:06:23.021
It was busy.
53
00:06:23.021 --> 00:06:26.195
In the spring, and the driving, and lumber.
54
00:06:26.195 --> 00:06:28.803
They used to bring rafts of logs
55
00:06:28.803 --> 00:06:31.118
through the big rapids up here.
56
00:06:31.118 --> 00:06:32.639
That would be a busy time.
57
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.448
Find out if they got through all right,
58
00:06:34.448 --> 00:06:38.702
if they broke up any rafts or how they made out.
59
00:06:38.702 --> 00:06:40.202
It was busy.
60
00:06:43.301 --> 00:06:44.906
Yeah.
61
00:06:44.906 --> 00:06:47.656
But I liked it, I liked the work.
62
00:06:49.262 --> 00:06:50.679
Look at the dust.
63
00:06:52.222 --> 00:06:55.621
It doesn\'t get dusted much now.
64
00:06:55.621 --> 00:06:58.704

[water rushing]
67
00:07:26.654 --> 00:07:28.205
We\'re living in the last times.
68
00:07:28.205 --> 00:07:29.687
I don\'t want to go on scripture and Bible,
69
00:07:29.687 --> 00:07:32.273
but we\'re living in the last days.
70
00:07:32.273 --> 00:07:35.000
I don\'t know if you people are,
71
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.567
but that\'s where we are now
72
00:07:36.567 --> 00:07:39.005
where that\'s what\'s coming on.
73
00:07:39.005 --> 00:07:40.944
74
00:07:40.944 --> 00:07:42.781
75
00:07:42.781 --> 00:07:43.803
76
00:07:43.803 --> 00:07:45.591
We feel they are.
77
00:07:45.591 --> 00:07:48.792
The prophecy of the Bible of these times,
78
00:07:48.792 --> 00:07:51.764
we believe that the end could be anytime
79
00:07:51.764 --> 00:07:54.022
but the Bible doesn\'t say when.
80
00:07:54.022 --> 00:07:56.617
But we know that it\'s time.
81
00:07:56.617 --> 00:07:59.700
[machinery whirring]
82
00:08:14.219 --> 00:08:16.441
83
00:08:16.441 --> 00:08:17.274
84
00:08:17.274 --> 00:08:18.107
85
00:08:18.107 --> 00:08:19.602
Is that a standard or?
86
00:08:19.602 --> 00:08:21.418
87
00:08:21.418 --> 00:08:23.263
You\'re not from the area and I recognized that right away.
88
00:08:23.263 --> 00:08:25.483
Like I said, a small town, you know the people.
89
00:08:25.483 --> 00:08:27.120
You know the people who aren\'t from the area
90
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.253
because you haven\'t seen them before.
91
00:08:29.253 --> 00:08:32.162
And it\'s customary for us to take a check,
92
00:08:32.162 --> 00:08:33.842
run a check on you to see if you\'re wanted
93
00:08:33.842 --> 00:08:36.495
or running away from someplace or somebody.
94
00:08:36.495 --> 00:08:39.054
And of course, we\'ll frisk you before I put you in the car
95
00:08:39.054 --> 00:08:40.215
to make sure you don\'t have a weapon
96
00:08:40.215 --> 00:08:41.623
\'cause I don\'t know where you\'re coming from
97
00:08:41.623 --> 00:08:42.744
or what you\'re doing up here.
98
00:08:42.744 --> 00:08:44.325
So it\'s just a precautionary--
99
00:08:44.325 --> 00:08:45.323
100
00:08:45.323 --> 00:08:48.906
It was just a precautionary measure for us.
101
00:08:53.554 --> 00:08:57.471
[French radio program]
102
00:09:13.325 --> 00:09:15.581
103
00:09:15.581 --> 00:09:17.422
It used to be the young people from Fort Kent
104
00:09:17.422 --> 00:09:19.189
used to go to Connecticut.
105
00:09:19.189 --> 00:09:22.327
But now they\'re New York, Connecticut,
106
00:09:22.327 --> 00:09:25.108
then round the Augusta and Biddeford area now
107
00:09:25.108 --> 00:09:27.267
where there\'s more industry around
108
00:09:27.267 --> 00:09:28.991
the Biddeford and the Lorch area.
109
00:09:28.991 --> 00:09:31.265
You got a lot of our people move down there.
110
00:09:31.265 --> 00:09:33.136
My daughter\'s moved in the Bath area
111
00:09:33.136 --> 00:09:34.125
because there\'s no work here,
112
00:09:34.125 --> 00:09:36.264
so she had to move out also.
113
00:09:36.264 --> 00:09:37.631
114
00:09:37.631 --> 00:09:39.400
115
00:09:39.400 --> 00:09:42.399
as a dispatcher down there.
116
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.366
Stayed in the family. [laughing]
117
00:09:46.366 --> 00:09:50.283
[speaking in foreign language]
118
00:09:56.647 --> 00:09:58.481
119
00:09:58.481 --> 00:10:01.938
it seemed to me we spent a lot of time
120
00:10:01.938 --> 00:10:04.513
going around on our bicycles with screwdrivers
121
00:10:04.513 --> 00:10:06.260
looking for hubcaps.
122
00:10:06.260 --> 00:10:07.093
Now, let\'s see.
123
00:10:07.093 --> 00:10:08.961
A set of four like this
124
00:10:08.961 --> 00:10:13.202
would probably bring you in about eight bucks.
125
00:10:13.202 --> 00:10:14.869
Wire rims, maybe 12.
126
00:10:16.287 --> 00:10:20.537
First time I got arrested was for stealing hubcaps.
127
00:10:30.707 --> 00:10:32.790
128
00:10:33.627 --> 00:10:34.460
O seven zero.
129
00:10:34.460 --> 00:10:36.499
130
00:10:36.499 --> 00:10:40.358
Okay, coming down in three, two, one.
131
00:10:40.358 --> 00:10:43.559
Some of that money will be pumped back into the reservation
132
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.269
to help the ailing Sockalexis Arena,
133
00:10:46.269 --> 00:10:47.698
programs for the elderly.
134
00:10:47.698 --> 00:10:49.781
135
00:10:50.626 --> 00:10:51.799
136
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.228
137
00:10:54.228 --> 00:10:55.648
138
00:10:55.648 --> 00:10:58.298
we\'re trying to gross a million dollars this year.
139
00:10:58.298 --> 00:11:00.530
That\'s our first year target.
140
00:11:00.530 --> 00:11:02.213
We\'ll try to net out at perhaps
141
00:11:02.213 --> 00:11:06.189
somewhere around 400 to 500 thousand dollars.
142
00:11:06.189 --> 00:11:08.517
143
00:11:08.517 --> 00:11:12.497
144
00:11:12.497 --> 00:11:15.002
and we have members mainly in the state of Maine
145
00:11:15.002 --> 00:11:16.790
and here on the reservation.
146
00:11:16.790 --> 00:11:20.045
After that, they\'re scattered all over the world really.
147
00:11:20.045 --> 00:11:22.675
[balls clattering]
148
00:11:22.675 --> 00:11:24.931
149
00:11:24.931 --> 00:11:28.431
it is a miracle to get by the disease era,
150
00:11:29.596 --> 00:11:31.745
to be able to get through the extermination era
151
00:11:31.745 --> 00:11:33.875
of Indian versus non-Indian.
152
00:11:33.875 --> 00:11:36.642
And that little proclamation I showed you of 1756,
153
00:11:36.642 --> 00:11:40.465
scalping Penobscot Indians by the English.
154
00:11:40.465 --> 00:11:44.385
It is a tremendous miracle that we\'re here.
155
00:11:44.385 --> 00:11:45.218
156
00:11:45.218 --> 00:11:47.186
will be pumped back into the reservation
157
00:11:47.186 --> 00:11:49.773
to help the ailing Sockalexis Arena,
158
00:11:49.773 --> 00:11:51.963
to fund programs for the elderly.
159
00:11:51.963 --> 00:11:53.138
The other portion of the money
160
00:11:53.138 --> 00:11:55.065
will enable the Penobscot Nation
161
00:11:55.065 --> 00:11:59.232
to continue exploring different economic ventures.
162
00:12:02.885 --> 00:12:05.468
Coming down in three, two, one.
163
00:12:06.699 --> 00:12:07.578
And some of that money--
164
00:12:07.578 --> 00:12:08.661
165
00:12:10.025 --> 00:12:11.025
M four zero.
166
00:12:14.804 --> 00:12:18.405
167
00:12:18.405 --> 00:12:20.277
is one time I hadn\'t seen her in a long time
168
00:12:20.277 --> 00:12:21.453
and I called her up,
169
00:12:21.453 --> 00:12:24.788
and I said I was gonna come visit her for mother\'s day.
170
00:12:24.788 --> 00:12:26.988
And she could do anything she wanted
171
00:12:26.988 --> 00:12:30.207
and she said she wanted to play bingo.
172
00:12:30.207 --> 00:12:31.845
So I went with her to play bingo
173
00:12:31.845 --> 00:12:35.428
and it was people just like this, you know,
174
00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:37.788
especially these old ladies.
175
00:12:37.788 --> 00:12:40.824
They really remind me of her.
176
00:12:40.824 --> 00:12:41.657
And we played
177
00:12:41.657 --> 00:12:44.725
and in the first or second game, I guess,
178
00:12:44.725 --> 00:12:47.392
I won $150 and she was thrilled.
179
00:12:49.670 --> 00:12:52.419
And as we got up to leave,
180
00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:56.845
I remember that she introduced me to all of her friends
181
00:12:56.845 --> 00:12:58.901
that she played bingo with all the time
182
00:12:58.901 --> 00:13:01.651
and she was really proud of that.
183
00:13:03.657 --> 00:13:06.074
It makes me feel warm sort of
184
00:13:07.907 --> 00:13:09.757
but also really sort of angry
185
00:13:09.757 --> 00:13:13.233
\'cause this is all that people have.
186
00:13:13.233 --> 00:13:17.943
I mean, she plays I think three, four times a week.

Has her own little basket she carries her dabbers in
188
00:13:22.207 --> 00:13:25.957
and her markers and talks to the same ladies.
189

193
00:13:36.377 --> 00:13:39.982
meaning a pulp and paper company poisoning the river,
194
00:13:39.982 --> 00:13:41.980

195
00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:43.230
or by accident,
196
00:13:45.922 --> 00:13:49.333

197
00:13:49.333 --> 00:13:52.071
whether or not there can be isolation
198
00:13:52.071 --> 00:13:55.208
and whether or not there can be survival.
199
00:13:55.208 --> 00:13:56.613
200
00:13:56.613 --> 00:13:59.712

205

I\'ve only changed in being more proud
206
00:14:13.162 --> 00:14:15.002
because I know more about myself
207
00:14:15.002 --> 00:14:19.252
and I want to hand it on to the future generations.

And we had a band here one time.
209
00:14:24.044 --> 00:14:27.106
As a matter of fact, we had a couple of Indian bands.
210
00:14:27.106 --> 00:14:31.134
They traveled extensively with the wild west shows.
211
00:14:31.134 --> 00:14:34.431
Some of the band members are pictured here

It\'s quite a struggle in these times when the economics
221
00:15:02.838 --> 00:15:06.538
and we\'re faced with millions of dollars
222
00:15:06.538 --> 00:15:10.371
and the Indians are now investing in business.
223
00:15:11.258 --> 00:15:13.560
I think we fare very well in the fact
224
00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:16.893
that they still maintain their identity.

You\'ve asked me quite a question
371
00:25:45.051 --> 00:25:47.634
which is pretty hard to answer.
372
00:25:58.913 --> 00:26:00.996
Here\'s the gestion award.
373
00:26:01.877 --> 00:26:05.210
The community gave me a nice award here.
374
00:26:08.747 --> 00:26:11.075
And I was the first civil defense director here
375
00:26:11.075 --> 00:26:12.744
the town ever had.
376
00:26:12.744 --> 00:26:16.209
I was the first fire chief the town ever had.
377
00:26:16.209 --> 00:26:18.006
And yes, after that,
378
00:26:18.006 --> 00:26:22.144
I never got up in town meeting before in my life
379
00:26:22.144 --> 00:26:23.477
until that year.
380
00:26:24.832 --> 00:26:28.332
So then I was made the first police chief.
381
00:26:33.641 --> 00:26:36.207
382
00:26:36.207 --> 00:26:37.365
383
00:26:37.365 --> 00:26:40.032
That\'s all patriotic over there.
384
00:26:41.266 --> 00:26:43.211
There\'s nobody, you know what I mean?
385
00:26:43.211 --> 00:26:46.958
Nobody, I mean nobody any more patriotic than I am.
386
00:26:46.958 --> 00:26:49.410
387
00:26:49.410 --> 00:26:50.660
388
00:26:52.132 --> 00:26:54.732
I suppose it\'s the way that I\'ve been brought up is all.
389
00:26:54.732 --> 00:26:56.772
390
00:26:56.772 --> 00:26:57.605

00:27:08.361 --> 00:27:10.963
A long time ago is right.

403
00:27:27.575 --> 00:27:30.138
You know, I wanted to ask you a question.
404
00:27:30.138 --> 00:27:31.055
I noticed--
405
00:27:33.117 --> 00:27:34.265
406
00:27:34.265 --> 00:27:37.040
is that it came over from the Orient
407
00:27:37.040 --> 00:27:39.228
and our American chestnut
408
00:27:39.228 --> 00:27:43.895
had not developed the genetic resistance to the disease.
409
00:27:44.989 --> 00:27:48.322
They are the wartlike protrudances there
410
00:27:49.302 --> 00:27:51.479
at the end of my finger.
411
00:27:51.479 --> 00:27:53.624
Those are the actual fruiting bodies.
412
00:27:53.624 --> 00:27:57.165
They disseminate incredible numbers of spores
413
00:27:57.165 --> 00:27:59.445
and this is one of the mechanisms
414
00:27:59.445 --> 00:28:04.175
that has made the disease so incredibly successful,
415
00:28:04.175 --> 00:28:06.854
perhaps too successful here in the U.S.
416
00:28:06.854 --> 00:28:08.644
417
00:28:08.644 --> 00:28:09.477

420
00:28:11.637 --> 00:28:16.562
And this is where how and when things are going to change.
421
00:28:16.562 --> 00:28:19.211
It\'s not gonna be actually if things change
422
00:28:19.211 --> 00:28:20.643
but when they change.
423
00:28:20.643 --> 00:28:24.893
And what is happening right now is that the disease
424
00:28:25.824 --> 00:28:29.241
is going through an evolution of its own.

435
00:29:29.803 --> 00:29:32.575
It was a fleet of little fishing boats
436
00:29:32.575 --> 00:29:34.996
sailing across there towards the nuke.

are experiencing significant levels of depression.
461

He\'s very much involved in the affairs of mankind.

That to have real wisdom,

that you have to go to the source of wisdom

which to us is God.

you are not keeping your promise, are you?

People break their promises very, very often.

Sometimes they forget.
544
00:35:13.369 --> 00:35:17.470
Sometimes they make promises they just cannot keep.

548
00:35:23.105 --> 00:35:26.438
God never makes promises he cannot keep.
549
00:35:27.404 --> 00:35:29.541
And he never forgets.
550
00:35:29.541 --> 00:35:33.015
He can keep his promises \'cause he\'s powerful, isn\'t he?
551
00:35:33.015 --> 00:35:34.304
That\'s right.
552

God\'s promises are sure.

00:36:26.435 --> 00:36:31.242
and is able to read and then assimilate ideas for himself
562
00:36:31.242 --> 00:36:36.242
that is the person that is most likely to remain free.
563
00:36:36.269 --> 00:36:38.642
564
00:36:38.642 --> 00:36:43.514
we have a little concern about a dictionary definition
565
00:36:43.514 --> 00:36:45.435
from the Webster\'s Dictionary
566
00:36:45.435 --> 00:36:47.972
and other dictionaries that we\'ve seen.
567
00:36:47.972 --> 00:36:51.813
568
00:36:51.813 --> 00:36:53.002
over a year ago
569
00:36:53.002 --> 00:36:55.892
that the more recent Webster\'s Dictionaries
570
00:36:55.892 --> 00:36:59.126
have been changed in their meanings.
571
00:36:59.126 --> 00:37:01.391
And we went to the library,
572
00:37:01.391 --> 00:37:03.301
the public library here in Dover,
573
00:37:03.301 --> 00:37:07.313
and looked up the words democracy and republic
574
00:37:07.313 --> 00:37:09.681
and made these photocopies.
575
00:37:09.681 --> 00:37:10.681
576
00:37:10.681 --> 00:37:15.681
577
00:37:16.343 --> 00:37:18.926
and part of the definition says
578
00:37:21.167 --> 00:37:22.966
the principles and policies
579
00:37:22.966 --> 00:37:26.217
of the Democratic party in the United States,
580
00:37:26.217 --> 00:37:27.808
large D.
581
00:37:27.808 --> 00:37:32.808
And we were wondering why they homed in on only one party,
582
00:37:32.809 --> 00:37:35.996
the principles and policies of the Republican party.
583
00:37:35.996 --> 00:37:39.300
Are they not also in agreement with the word democracy
584
00:37:39.300 --> 00:37:40.698
as noted here,
585
00:37:40.698 --> 00:37:42.647
a government in which the supreme power
586
00:37:42.647 --> 00:37:43.898
is vested in the people
587
00:37:43.898 --> 00:37:47.309
and exercised by them directly or indirectly
588
00:37:47.309 --> 00:37:49.828
through a system of representation.

Czechoslovakia or Yugoslavia as being a republic.
593
00:38:07.809 --> 00:38:09.616
It doesn\'t seem to ring true
594
00:38:09.616 --> 00:38:13.827
as to a comparison with the United States.
595
00:38:13.827 --> 00:38:15.239

00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.412

00:38:34.295 --> 00:38:36.744
605

Let\'s see how many people have checked it out.

All these people.

No dates have been given.
608
00:38:42.994 --> 00:38:46.272
609
00:38:46.272 --> 00:38:50.439
may I speak with you about the supreme court case?
610
00:38:59.253 --> 00:39:01.749
611
00:39:01.749 --> 00:39:03.878
is to make the coat look the same way it would

when the customer is wearing it.
613
00:39:06.492 --> 00:39:08.611
So what we\'re doing now is filling it up with air
614
00:39:08.611 --> 00:39:10.350
so that it takes that same shape
615
00:39:10.350 --> 00:39:13.165
and we can even fit the shoulders exactly
616
00:39:13.165 --> 00:39:15.966
to the width of the jacket.
617
00:39:15.966 --> 00:39:17.963
So we\'ll fill it up with air
618
00:39:17.963 --> 00:39:21.651
and then we\'ll shoot steam from the inside out
619
00:39:21.651 --> 00:39:23.381
and that\'ll take out most of the wrinkles
620
00:39:23.381 --> 00:39:25.663
in the tough to press areas.
621
00:39:25.663 --> 00:39:28.746
[machinery whirring]
622
00:39:52.453 --> 00:39:55.162
One of the things I stress here with my employees
623
00:39:55.162 --> 00:39:57.544
is that I want them to feel
624
00:39:57.544 --> 00:40:00.060
like I\'m concerned about their future
625
00:40:00.060 --> 00:40:01.661
and I\'m working with them
626
00:40:01.661 --> 00:40:04.965
in helping them build for their future,
627
00:40:04.965 --> 00:40:08.004
but I don\'t want them totally dependent on me.
628
00:40:08.004 --> 00:40:11.696
I want them to be able to be dependent upon themselves.
629
00:40:11.696 --> 00:40:14.956
And the way that I look at it as a Christian
630
00:40:14.956 --> 00:40:19.206
is that if a man has a proper relationship with God
631
00:40:20.235 --> 00:40:23.253
and understands that he\'s a human being
632
00:40:23.253 --> 00:40:25.542
and he comes underneath the hierarchical structure
633
00:40:25.542 --> 00:40:29.465
of God dictating and directing his life,
634
00:40:29.465 --> 00:40:33.836
that that\'s the leadership that I need in my life
635
00:40:33.836 --> 00:40:35.882
is God giving me direction.
636
00:40:35.882 --> 00:40:36.788
And from that point,
637
00:40:36.788 --> 00:40:40.419
I don\'t need the United States government
638
00:40:40.419 --> 00:40:42.595
stepping in and telling me.
639
00:40:42.595 --> 00:40:44.735
640
00:40:44.735 --> 00:40:47.068
is an absolute perfect word!
641
00:40:48.888 --> 00:40:50.676

on tape or something
643
00:40:51.773 --> 00:40:53.483
and they said what you need to is sit down
644
00:40:53.483 --> 00:40:55.483
and reason with a child.
645
00:40:58.066 --> 00:41:00.566

646
00:41:03.371 --> 00:41:04.709
I mean, that\'s so,
647
00:41:04.709 --> 00:41:06.937
I can\'t believe how dumb.
648
00:41:06.937 --> 00:41:09.530
I was gonna say stupid but I won\'t say that.
649
00:41:09.530 --> 00:41:11.759

00:41:11.759 --> 00:41:12.770

trying to reason with his three year old!
654
00:41:22.701 --> 00:41:24.237
My wife and I were going down the aisle
655
00:41:24.237 --> 00:41:25.938
through one store a few years back
656
00:41:25.938 --> 00:41:29.688
and this mother was reasoning with her child.
657
00:41:31.059 --> 00:41:32.695
And she bent down and she says,
658
00:41:32.695 --> 00:41:36.076
\"Now, you can\'t have that,\" and he spit in her face.
659

the basic problem with rebellion

that is in a child\'s heart is that he\'s born a sinner.

that there are consequences for rebellion.
672

it can\'t help but feel personal.

00:43:22.835 --> 00:43:25.601

to lead the 54th Regiment which was the first black regiment
1124
01:12:10.023 --> 01:12:14.033
from the north after the emancipation had been signed.
1125
01:12:14.033 --> 01:12:15.003
And people came,
1126
01:12:15.003 --> 01:12:19.197
men came all over the country, from Canada,
1127
01:12:19.197 --> 01:12:22.884
and also from the West Indie Islands to join this.
1128
01:12:22.884 --> 01:12:25.884
Some were slaves and some were free.
1129
01:12:29.397 --> 01:12:31.174
And you see the Latin phrase.
1130
01:12:31.174 --> 01:12:33.696
Does anyone speak Latin?
1131
01:12:33.696 --> 01:12:34.695
1132
01:12:34.695 --> 01:12:38.612
1133
01:12:42.061 --> 01:12:45.555
That\'s all right, it\'s not wired down.
1134
01:12:45.555 --> 01:12:47.828
It\'s liable to fall.
1135
01:12:47.828 --> 01:12:50.844
1136
01:12:50.844 --> 01:12:51.844
Omni is all.
1137
01:12:53.624 --> 01:12:55.874
1138
01:12:59.990 --> 01:13:01.996
he gave his life to serve the republic.
1139
01:13:01.996 --> 01:13:03.336
1140
01:13:03.336 --> 01:13:04.677
1141
01:13:04.677 --> 01:13:09.677
which there\'s no more than your life when you give it.
1142
01:13:09.727 --> 01:13:11.794
1143
01:13:11.794 --> 01:13:15.127
All gave his life to serve the republic.
1144
01:13:16.365 --> 01:13:18.028
1145
01:13:18.028 --> 01:13:20.867

01:13:43.384 --> 01:13:44.551
1148
01:13:48.137 --> 01:13:50.554
even though they were slaves,
1149
01:13:51.979 --> 01:13:56.896
there must have been a bond as they came over on that ship.
1150
01:13:58.893 --> 01:14:00.143
What can I say?
1151
01:14:09.919 --> 01:14:13.564
I may have had more than a great grandfather
1152
01:14:13.564 --> 01:14:15.790
in the Shaw Memorial.
1153
01:14:15.790 --> 01:14:18.850
And I\'m going to keep in contact with the other descendants
1154
01:14:18.850 --> 01:14:20.571
and maybe over the years,
1155
01:14:20.571 --> 01:14:22.832
we\'ll have another reunion.
1156
01:14:22.832 --> 01:14:24.501
1157
01:14:24.501 --> 01:14:25.920
did he die in the--
1158
01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:27.009
1159
01:14:27.009 --> 01:14:28.680
1160
01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:30.069
people who survived the Civil War--
1161
01:14:30.069 --> 01:14:31.701
1162
01:14:31.701 --> 01:14:36.107
He went back to Pittsfield and became a fireman.
1163
01:14:36.107 --> 01:14:39.332
1164
01:14:39.332 --> 01:14:40.302
1165
01:14:40.302 --> 01:14:43.561
I hope so where I\'m concerned.
1166
01:14:43.561 --> 01:14:45.671
I hope I have enough time
1167
01:14:45.671 --> 01:14:48.921
to put our family history down on paper
1168
01:14:53.751 --> 01:14:55.918
before I close these eyes.

01:15:01.894 --> 01:15:06.050

[speaking in foreign language]
1187
01:18:10.329 --> 01:18:12.042
It brings back little memories.
1188
01:18:12.042 --> 01:18:13.400
I spent a little time there.
1189
01:18:13.400 --> 01:18:14.619
1190
01:18:14.619 --> 01:18:16.123
How long were you there?
1191
01:18:16.123 --> 01:18:17.121

Oh very little, yes.

[speaking in foreign language]
1197
01:18:29.474 --> 01:18:33.286
I\'d like to look around a little, smell it.

01:18:33.286 --> 01:18:34.830
1199
01:18:34.830 --> 01:18:37.663
1200
01:18:40.872 --> 01:18:43.809
So do these anti-alcohol teas work?
1201
01:18:43.809 --> 01:18:44.677
1202
01:18:44.677 --> 01:18:46.557

01:18:46.557 --> 01:18:48.706
1204
01:18:48.706 --> 01:18:50.123
I need something.
1205
01:18:51.190 --> 01:18:53.023
They do miracles, huh?
1206
01:18:58.095 --> 01:19:02.928
Everything just finally ends up being just memories,
1207
01:19:02.928 --> 01:19:05.345
become like little chachkies.

01:19:32.472 --> 01:19:34.668
1210
01:19:34.668 --> 01:19:36.335
It\'s a decent place.
1211
01:19:38.100 --> 01:19:38.933
Clean.
1212
01:19:40.169 --> 01:19:41.567

[glasses clinking]
[speaking in foreign language]
1217
01:19:51.256 --> 01:19:54.923
I think you\'ve built a good life in America.
1218
01:19:56.401 --> 01:19:57.484
1219
01:19:59.663 --> 01:20:01.496
I\'ve been living good.
1220
01:20:03.103 --> 01:20:04.103
Got to work.
1221
01:20:05.223 --> 01:20:06.342
1222
01:20:06.342 --> 01:20:07.175

01:20:10.211 --> 01:20:13.136
1224
01:20:13.136 --> 01:20:18.136
I think of my father who came from Scotland and worked hard.
1225
01:20:18.838 --> 01:20:20.588
He didn\'t do so well.
1226
01:20:24.149 --> 01:20:27.515
1227
01:20:27.515 --> 01:20:31.765
I should do this, I should do that, right or wrong.
1228
01:20:35.839 --> 01:20:38.089
1229
01:20:43.972 --> 01:20:45.836
For me, I\'m going down.
1230
01:20:45.836 --> 01:20:50.753
I\'m going down to head on down U.S. 1 to New London
1231
01:20:50.753 --> 01:20:52.503
and see an old friend
1232
01:20:58.599 --> 01:21:01.079
from a long time ago.
1233
01:21:01.079 --> 01:21:03.079
1234
01:21:15.812 --> 01:21:17.145
1235
01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:22.692
He\'s been dead for just about two years.
1236
01:21:36.320 --> 01:21:38.351
When\'s the last time you saw him?
1237
01:21:38.351 --> 01:21:40.025
1238
01:21:40.025 --> 01:21:40.858
1239
01:21:42.104 --> 01:21:44.937
[hammer clanging]
1240
01:22:01.091 --> 01:22:03.258
No, I\'ve come to know you.
1241
01:22:04.104 --> 01:22:06.566
I\'ve come to know you through him.
1242
01:22:06.566 --> 01:22:08.733
We talked a lot about you.
1243
01:22:10.440 --> 01:22:12.736
But you stayed in touch though, didn\'t you?
1244
01:22:12.736 --> 01:22:13.766
1245
01:22:13.766 --> 01:22:16.599
it got, you know, a little harder.
1246
01:22:19.381 --> 01:22:20.214
1247
01:22:21.122 --> 01:22:24.372
Get this place cleared up a little bit.
1248
01:22:33.775 --> 01:22:35.108
1249
01:22:43.518 --> 01:22:47.013
1250
01:22:47.013 --> 01:22:50.346
and here\'s the model of it is over here.
1251
01:22:55.213 --> 01:22:58.046
1252
01:22:58.946 --> 01:23:03.840
1253
01:23:03.840 --> 01:23:06.942
just because I\'d love to see what happens, you know?
1254
01:23:06.942 --> 01:23:10.015
It\'s just like an adventure for me.
1255
01:23:10.015 --> 01:23:12.676
I mean, when you\'ve made stuff all your life,
1256
01:23:12.676 --> 01:23:14.074
you start looking around
1257
01:23:14.074 --> 01:23:16.718
for harder and harder things to make,
1258
01:23:16.718 --> 01:23:18.936
and crazier and crazier things to make
1259
01:23:18.936 --> 01:23:20.856
just to see how they turn out,
1260
01:23:20.856 --> 01:23:23.134
just to see what happens,
1261
01:23:23.134 --> 01:23:25.084
\'cause in the end, you know,
1262
01:23:25.084 --> 01:23:26.157
when you make something,
1263
01:23:26.157 --> 01:23:27.501
really, what you\'re doing
1264
01:23:27.501 --> 01:23:30.418
is trying to find out what happens.
1265
01:23:32.259 --> 01:23:33.485
A writer writes the book
1266
01:23:33.485 --> 01:23:37.670
to find out how it comes out in the end, you know?
1267
01:23:37.670 --> 01:23:39.235
1268
01:23:39.235 --> 01:23:41.652
1269
01:23:43.177 --> 01:23:46.227
Otherwise, why would he write it?
1270
01:23:46.227 --> 01:23:50.144
If he already knew what would be in it for him.
1271
01:23:59.300 --> 01:24:00.133
Whatever.
1272
01:24:01.491 --> 01:24:03.306
But anyway, that\'s the deal.
1273
01:24:03.306 --> 01:24:06.183
That\'s me, that\'s my story.
1274
01:24:06.183 --> 01:24:07.362
1275
01:24:07.362 --> 01:24:09.679
\'cause it\'s so beautiful?
1276
01:24:09.679 --> 01:24:11.014
1277
01:24:11.014 --> 01:24:14.674
When I get this thing totally happening--
1278
01:24:14.674 --> 01:24:17.424
[waves crashing]
1279
01:24:22.449 --> 01:24:23.721
1280
01:24:23.721 --> 01:24:26.890
What you have is a lot of the street kids down here.
1281
01:24:26.890 --> 01:24:27.852
You\'re getting some of the people
1282
01:24:27.852 --> 01:24:29.825
that are homeless down here
1283
01:24:29.825 --> 01:24:34.698
standing in the doorways at this hour right about now.
1284
01:24:34.698 --> 01:24:36.160
You got some people who stay in here
1285
01:24:36.160 --> 01:24:37.922
until the guards throw \'em out.
1286
01:24:37.922 --> 01:24:40.152
They\'re trying to stay warm.
1287
01:24:40.152 --> 01:24:40.985
It\'s incredible.
1288
01:24:40.985 --> 01:24:44.741
I\'m on the board of directors for Thomas Merton House.
1289
01:24:44.741 --> 01:24:46.408
It\'s a soup kitchen.
1290
01:24:50.665 --> 01:24:52.728
I\'ll swing by it for you down here.
1291
01:24:52.728 --> 01:24:57.145
And we serve about 250 to 300 meals a day for people.
1292
01:25:01.075 --> 01:25:03.992
14 years ago, I was new on the job.
1293
01:25:05.002 --> 01:25:06.840
I had never been in a black person\'s home
1294
01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:09.450
and I had never seen a prostitute.
1295
01:25:09.450 --> 01:25:11.173
They put me down here
1296
01:25:11.173 --> 01:25:13.213
and my job was to pick up prostitutes
1297
01:25:13.213 --> 01:25:16.760
and all I kept getting was homosexuals.
1298
01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:20.800
And I had the lowest offer proposition in many years.
1299
01:25:20.800 --> 01:25:24.822
Some guy offered to give me a hand job for five bucks
1300
01:25:24.822 --> 01:25:28.912
so I was the laughing stock for a while.
1301
01:25:28.912 --> 01:25:30.911
Now, you can see these guys over here on the left,
1302
01:25:30.911 --> 01:25:32.021
all these young kids out here.
1303
01:25:32.021 --> 01:25:34.877
They\'re all holding dope.
1304
01:25:34.877 --> 01:25:36.433
It\'s a game out here.
1305
01:25:36.433 --> 01:25:37.820
You know, we know, they know we know,
1306
01:25:37.820 --> 01:25:41.320
and we wait for them to make a move first.
1307
01:25:43.247 --> 01:25:48.247
We\'re starting to get into the heavily black area down here.
1308
01:25:48.658 --> 01:25:52.658
At one time, this was a very nice place to live.
1309
01:25:56.907 --> 01:25:58.793
That\'s Father Panek over there to our left,
1310
01:25:58.793 --> 01:26:00.141
just over that little river there.
1311
01:26:00.141 --> 01:26:02.391
We\'re gonna swing by there.
1312
01:26:03.765 --> 01:26:06.302
Be real careful \'cause they usually have a group out here
1313
01:26:06.302 --> 01:26:08.552
and they sure wouldn\'t mind
1314
01:26:09.822 --> 01:26:13.989

No ma\'am.
1319
01:26:39.380 --> 01:26:42.797
You want to hold that door for me please?
1320
01:26:55.446 --> 01:26:56.279

All right, nobody\'s in here.

1334
01:28:30.736 --> 01:28:32.877
Nobody talked about integration tonight.
1335
01:28:32.877 --> 01:28:35.826
Wouldn\'t that help a lot of students stay in school?
1336
01:28:35.826 --> 01:28:37.482
1337
01:28:37.482 --> 01:28:39.724
1338
01:28:39.724 --> 01:28:41.747
you know, blacks and whites
1339
01:28:41.747 --> 01:28:44.774
being 50, 50% in school together.
1340
01:28:44.774 --> 01:28:46.705
1341
01:28:46.705 --> 01:28:48.437
that would be nice to be.
1342
01:28:48.437 --> 01:28:50.791
But if you recall, the city of Bridgeport,
1343
01:28:50.791 --> 01:28:53.444
I mean, when I was growing up was pretty well,
1344
01:28:53.444 --> 01:28:55.224
the majority of people were whites in this city.
1345
01:28:55.224 --> 01:28:56.187
I mean, the majority of people
1346
01:28:56.187 --> 01:28:58.245
that were coming to the city was blacks and Spanish.
1347
01:28:58.245 --> 01:28:59.525
And now pretty well,
1348
01:28:59.525 --> 01:29:01.397
we control the makeup of the city
1349
01:29:01.397 --> 01:29:02.616
in terms of blacks and Spanish,
1350
01:29:02.616 --> 01:29:04.254
but that was not always the case.
1351
01:29:04.254 --> 01:29:07.814
What we have to ask ourselves is some many years ago,
1352
01:29:07.814 --> 01:29:09.106
something went wrong
1353
01:29:09.106 --> 01:29:11.295
which caused white folks to want to leave the city,
1354
01:29:11.295 --> 01:29:12.215
which caused white folks
1355
01:29:12.215 --> 01:29:14.642
to want to take their kids out of public schools.
1356
01:29:14.642 --> 01:29:15.475
1357
01:29:15.475 --> 01:29:18.737
1358
01:29:18.737 --> 01:29:21.126
should have a central board of education.
1359
01:29:21.126 --> 01:29:24.674
And therefore, they are the ones who should take care--

Don\'t you get on Cecil like that, sir.

I don\'t feel him.

in a position to talk about those things
1386
01:30:10.338 --> 01:30:12.469
that will help us to enhance those concerns
1387
01:30:12.469 --> 01:30:14.235
that we talk about, sir.

1402
01:30:49.066 --> 01:30:50.419
in some of the weapons there,
1403
01:30:50.419 --> 01:30:52.625
you can always get somebody to buy it.

01:30:52.625 --> 01:30:55.237
1405
01:30:55.237 --> 01:30:56.397
I heard there were a lot of automatic weapons.

01:30:56.397 --> 01:30:58.813
1407
01:30:58.813 --> 01:31:01.585
you got machine guns, Uzi\'s, automatics.
1408
01:31:01.585 --> 01:31:02.936
You got some M-16\'s.
1409
01:31:02.936 --> 01:31:04.910
You got a little bit of everything out here
1410
01:31:04.910 --> 01:31:06.752
and that\'s why you find people always saying,
1411
01:31:06.752 --> 01:31:08.102
hey, what can we do about it?
1412
01:31:08.102 --> 01:31:09.580
They call to the police.
1413
01:31:09.580 --> 01:31:10.413
The police come out,
1414
01:31:10.413 --> 01:31:12.339
they respond for a minute or so and do what they can
1415
01:31:12.339 --> 01:31:13.521
but then that\'s it.
1416
01:31:13.521 --> 01:31:15.950
Like even in the doorway there where the little school\'s at,
1417
01:31:15.950 --> 01:31:18.191
see where the bullet holes are in the door there?

You know, where it shows you there.
1419
01:31:19.990 --> 01:31:22.036
The holes are pretty, pretty big there
1420
01:31:22.036 --> 01:31:24.492
and then you got one there.

Why don\'t you open the door, y\'all?

Open that door up.

You know, right in here, and it\'s a school.

and over the years has deteriorated.
1616
01:40:28.640 --> 01:40:30.877
My personal feelings on that
1617
01:40:30.877 --> 01:40:34.151
is that I feel that there should be a relocation in part
1618
01:40:34.151 --> 01:40:35.771
but there should be some type of state
1619
01:40:35.771 --> 01:40:37.443
or federal funds available
1620
01:40:37.443 --> 01:40:41.556
or program available to make these people in some fashion
1621
01:40:41.556 --> 01:40:43.312
have a feeling of ownership
1622
01:40:43.312 --> 01:40:45.930
and own their own condo or apartment
1623
01:40:45.930 --> 01:40:47.631
because I feel that that\'s one way
1624
01:40:47.631 --> 01:40:49.851
that we can get around the problem of destruction,
1625
01:40:49.851 --> 01:40:51.851
and fire, and vandalism.
1626
01:40:54.215 --> 01:40:56.818
I\'m David D\'Addario from Bridgeport Connecticut,

President of D\'Addario Industries.
1628
01:40:58.788 --> 01:41:02.350
I became president of D\'Addario Industries two years ago
1629
01:41:02.350 --> 01:41:05.968
when my father tragically passed away in an airplane crash.
1630
01:41:05.968 --> 01:41:07.931
Our family has been living
1631
01:41:07.931 --> 01:41:12.223
and located our company here in Bridgeport since 1927
1632
01:41:12.223 --> 01:41:15.373
and we\'re involved in 36 different companies,
1633
01:41:15.373 --> 01:41:16.824
mostly in Connecticut,
1634
01:41:16.824 --> 01:41:20.513
dealing basically in the construction, waste management,
1635
01:41:20.513 --> 01:41:23.105
and oil petroleum companies.
1636
01:41:23.105 --> 01:41:25.546
That is the People\'s Savings Bank\'s original building
1637
01:41:25.546 --> 01:41:26.924
in downtown Bridgeport.
1638
01:41:26.924 --> 01:41:28.583
As you can see, they\'ve renovated it
1639
01:41:28.583 --> 01:41:32.105
and kept the old structure which is very nice
1640
01:41:32.105 --> 01:41:34.807
and gives the city a flavor of history.
1641
01:41:34.807 --> 01:41:37.875
As you move towards its left and directly behind it,
1642
01:41:37.875 --> 01:41:40.467
you\'ll see their next phase of expansion
1643
01:41:40.467 --> 01:41:44.896
and development which was a approximately 11 or 12 story
1644

People\'s Bank building.
1645
01:41:46.824 --> 01:41:50.896
Recently, they decided to build a extremely large building
1646
01:41:50.896 --> 01:41:53.865
which hopefully will be what people are talking
1647
01:41:53.865 --> 01:41:57.054
the most major building between New York and Boston.
1648
01:41:57.054 --> 01:41:59.815
It\'s a 450,000 square foot building
1649
01:41:59.815 --> 01:42:01.675
which will house People\'s Savings Bank
1650
01:42:01.675 --> 01:42:03.353
and Connecticut National Bank.
1651
01:42:03.353 --> 01:42:05.684
As we move over to the right,
1652
01:42:05.684 --> 01:42:07.343
you see the Hi-Ho Center
1653
01:42:07.343 --> 01:42:09.465
which is owned by D\'Addario Industries.
1654
01:42:09.465 --> 01:42:12.714
That\'s an 800,000 square foot shopping mall
1655
01:42:12.714 --> 01:42:15.876
with a 3,000 car parking garage attached to it.
1656
01:42:15.876 --> 01:42:19.203
We purchased the center approximately two years ago
1657
01:42:19.203 --> 01:42:21.851
because of our strong believe in the downtown area
1658
01:42:21.851 --> 01:42:23.386
and its revitalization.
1659
01:42:23.386 --> 01:42:25.379
Our roots are here and we felt that
1660
01:42:25.379 --> 01:42:28.270
we\'d want to be a big player in the downtown picture.
1661
01:42:28.270 --> 01:42:30.499
And that\'s about 14 acres of downtown
1662
01:42:30.499 --> 01:42:32.972
and represents a pretty large investment
1663
01:42:32.972 --> 01:42:34.722
in the downtown area.

The Indians who taught them much about survival were there
1691
01:43:56.338 --> 01:44:00.167
and they all were able to celebrate and give thanks to God.
1692
01:44:00.167 --> 01:44:02.205
And that\'s what Thanksgiving is.
1693
01:44:02.205 --> 01:44:03.827
It\'s not turkey day.

01:44:03.827 --> 01:44:07.327
It\'s Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving to God.

And so while we\'re here today,
1696
01:44:10.648 --> 01:44:13.266

1697
01:44:13.266 --> 01:44:17.433

1698
01:44:19.457 --> 01:44:20.876

01:54:00.130 --> 01:54:02.880
1880
01:54:03.749 --> 01:54:06.986
1881
01:54:06.986 --> 01:54:08.570
1882
01:54:08.570 --> 01:54:10.202
1883
01:54:10.202 --> 01:54:11.229
I\'ll make sure it\'s that.
1884
01:54:11.229 --> 01:54:13.755
[laughing]
1885
01:54:13.755 --> 01:54:14.588
1886
01:54:14.588 --> 01:54:17.437
when the photographer was taking his pictures?
1887
01:54:17.437 --> 01:54:20.752
1888
01:54:20.752 --> 01:54:22.592
in the future.
1889
01:54:22.592 --> 01:54:27.021
1890
01:54:27.021 --> 01:54:30.701
Trying to give \'em pride and everything else
1891
01:54:30.701 --> 01:54:32.451
in their future life.
1892
01:54:50.550 --> 01:54:55.546
1893
01:54:55.546 --> 01:54:58.614
I just don\'t want no fast food restaurant.
1894
01:54:58.614 --> 01:55:00.112
1895
01:55:00.112 --> 01:55:03.834
1896
01:55:03.834 --> 01:55:06.254
I worked in American Steak House,
1897
01:55:06.254 --> 01:55:09.252
then I worked in Drum Stix,
1898
01:55:09.252 --> 01:55:13.669
then I worked in Roy Rogers, and then in Burger King.
1899
01:55:14.995 --> 01:55:16.832
It\'s not fun no more.
1900
01:55:16.832 --> 01:55:18.460
1901
01:55:18.460 --> 01:55:21.960
[deliberative jazz music]
1902
01:55:42.724 --> 01:55:43.639
1903
01:55:43.639 --> 01:55:47.928
I\'m going to court for a crime I didn\'t commit.
1904
01:55:47.928 --> 01:55:49.580
I got caught in a stolen car
1905
01:55:49.580 --> 01:55:53.089
in which my friends didn\'t tell me about it.
1906
01:55:53.089 --> 01:55:57.467
And I\'ve been going for the past two months
1907
01:55:57.467 --> 01:55:59.856
and today should be my final day going
1908
01:55:59.856 --> 01:56:02.256
so they could tell me what\'s the deal.
1909
01:56:02.256 --> 01:56:05.654
Either I get probation or what, so.
1910
01:56:05.654 --> 01:56:08.110
1911
01:56:08.110 --> 01:56:09.642
It\'s very deceptive in its appearance
1912
01:56:09.642 --> 01:56:12.791
in that it\'s quite big actually once you get inside of it.
1913
01:56:12.791 --> 01:56:14.843
But we\'ve decided to move here
1914
01:56:14.843 --> 01:56:16.814
for purposes of actually retirement.
1915
01:56:16.814 --> 01:56:18.643
We wanted a place that was stable
1916
01:56:18.643 --> 01:56:20.971
and that would not be built upon.
1917
01:56:20.971 --> 01:56:23.830
And we\'re protected all around here, in fact.
1918
01:56:23.830 --> 01:56:26.496
If you look toward the back here,
1919
01:56:26.496 --> 01:56:28.666
there\'s a lake toward the back.
1920
01:56:28.666 --> 01:56:33.399
It\'s absolutely spectacular and it can\'t be built at all.
1921
01:56:33.399 --> 01:56:37.232
And it\'s right out back here, very, very nice.
1922
01:56:40.605 --> 01:56:43.175
1923
01:56:43.175 --> 01:56:47.604
in the east side of Bridgeport and my friends,
1924
01:56:47.604 --> 01:56:50.843
they ran out of the car and I just stood there
1925
01:56:50.843 --> 01:56:51.865
and I got arrested.
1926
01:56:51.865 --> 01:56:54.365
I got taken in and from there,
1927
01:56:56.843 --> 01:56:58.853
my mother came to get me.
1928
01:56:58.853 --> 01:57:00.802
They had a $10,000 bond
1929
01:57:00.802 --> 01:57:02.878
but under my mother\'s signature,
1930
01:57:02.878 --> 01:57:05.448
I was able to get out with no problem.
1931
01:57:05.448 --> 01:57:08.478
So I have to be going to court today.
1932
01:57:08.478 --> 01:57:11.372
It should be my final decision on what to do.
1933
01:57:11.372 --> 01:57:12.581
1934
01:57:12.581 --> 01:57:14.942
I actually was a public defender
1935
01:57:14.942 --> 01:57:17.862
and I was on the opposite side of the coin.
1936
01:57:17.862 --> 01:57:19.952
Well now, I prosecute.
1937
01:57:19.952 --> 01:57:23.481
I\'ve been prosecuting for exactly eight and a half years
1938
01:57:23.481 --> 01:57:25.751
in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
1939
01:57:25.751 --> 01:57:28.531
And if I say anything during the course of this dialog,
1940
01:57:28.531 --> 01:57:30.331
I\'m going to have to include a disclaimer
1941
01:57:30.331 --> 01:57:33.301
and that is anything I say is my representation
1942
01:57:33.301 --> 01:57:36.478
and not the representation of any municipal
1943
01:57:36.478 --> 01:57:38.179
state or federal agency.
1944
01:57:38.179 --> 01:57:40.591
So everything is of my own opinion.
1945
01:57:40.591 --> 01:57:42.637
I\'ve been in Bridgeport for,
1946
01:57:42.637 --> 01:57:43.940
as I said, about eight and a half years
1947
01:57:43.940 --> 01:57:47.147
and it seems like a hell of a long time.
1948
01:57:47.147 --> 01:57:49.240
Dealing with juveniles is very, very different
1949
01:57:49.240 --> 01:57:51.577
than dealing with other types of criminals.
1950
01:57:51.577 --> 01:57:54.108
You have to remember that some of them are children.
1951
01:57:54.108 --> 01:57:55.468
They actually are children.
1952
01:57:55.468 --> 01:57:56.909
And they actually can be saved
1953
01:57:56.909 --> 01:58:01.076
if you want to use that social worker phraseology.
1954
01:58:04.437 --> 01:58:08.687
1955
01:58:10.204 --> 01:58:13.408
Not really sure since I\'ve never been in trouble
1956
01:58:13.408 --> 01:58:14.566
with the cops or anything.
1957
01:58:14.566 --> 01:58:17.424
So this is my first time being in trouble with the police
1958
01:58:17.424 --> 01:58:21.507
and I never had a record before, so I\'m not sure.
1959
01:58:23.252 --> 01:58:24.170
1960
01:58:24.170 --> 01:58:25.684
Even photographing all around here,
1961
01:58:25.684 --> 01:58:27.642
it\'s a very beautiful area.
1962
01:58:27.642 --> 01:58:29.141
It\'s gorgeous.
1963
01:58:29.141 --> 01:58:31.402
I live a schizophrenic existence.
1964
01:58:31.402 --> 01:58:33.092
When I go into Bridgeport,
1965
01:58:33.092 --> 01:58:36.153
it\'s a totally, totally different existence.
1966
01:58:36.153 --> 01:58:37.539
If I go to the courthouse,
1967
01:58:37.539 --> 01:58:40.761
I see kids who live in the ghettos and the projects
1968
01:58:40.761 --> 01:58:43.616
who may be freezing during the course of a winter night
1969
01:58:43.616 --> 01:58:45.070
because they don\'t have any heat.
1970
01:58:45.070 --> 01:58:48.236
I come home to a nice, warm house,
1971
01:58:48.236 --> 01:58:51.994
a wife, two children, two cats and a dog,
1972
01:58:51.994 --> 01:58:54.132
and it\'s fantastic.
1973
01:58:54.132 --> 01:58:57.614
And yet I have to put what I see during the course of a day
1974
01:58:57.614 --> 01:58:59.327
at the juvenile courthouse,
1975
01:58:59.327 --> 01:59:01.254
I have to put it out of my mind
1976
01:59:01.254 --> 01:59:05.103
because if I remembered it and if I kept it in my mind,
1977
01:59:05.103 --> 01:59:07.717
I literally would go out of my mind.
1978
01:59:07.717 --> 01:59:09.502
Want to cut it right there?
1979
01:59:09.502 --> 01:59:10.335
1980
01:59:10.335 --> 01:59:12.181
I want to ask you how can you put it out of your mind?
1981
01:59:12.181 --> 01:59:17.181
1982
01:59:19.962 --> 01:59:21.331
Well, let me put it this way.
1983
01:59:21.331 --> 01:59:24.383
I put it out of my mind by sheer willpower,
1984
01:59:24.383 --> 01:59:27.141
a simple thing called sheer willpower.
1985
01:59:27.141 --> 01:59:29.608
1986
01:59:29.608 --> 01:59:30.884
1987
01:59:30.884 --> 01:59:33.481
1988
01:59:33.481 --> 01:59:36.330
1989
01:59:36.330 --> 01:59:38.829
one, two, three, four, five.
[snapping fingers]
1990
01:59:38.829 --> 01:59:39.662
Right?
1991
01:59:39.662 --> 01:59:40.500
1992
01:59:40.500 --> 01:59:42.567
1993
01:59:42.567 --> 01:59:43.400
you know what I mean?
1994
01:59:43.400 --> 01:59:44.561
1995
01:59:44.561 --> 01:59:48.319
1996
01:59:48.319 --> 01:59:49.820
because you\'re young.
1997
01:59:49.820 --> 01:59:50.653
1998
01:59:50.653 --> 01:59:51.927
1999
01:59:51.927 --> 01:59:53.379
2000
01:59:53.379 --> 01:59:54.296
2001
01:59:54.296 --> 01:59:57.129
2002
01:59:57.129 --> 01:59:58.307
2003
01:59:58.307 --> 02:00:00.896
2004
02:00:00.896 --> 02:00:02.978
Start working, save your money,
2005
02:00:02.978 --> 02:00:05.645
and then have your family, okay?
2006
02:00:07.386 --> 02:00:08.636
2007
02:00:10.402 --> 02:00:12.646
2008
02:00:12.646 --> 02:00:14.207
but I want you to know I do like that
2009
02:00:14.207 --> 02:00:16.184
because I\'m concerned about America!
2010
02:00:16.184 --> 02:00:18.172
I\'m concerned about its people!
2011
02:00:18.172 --> 02:00:19.771
And I want you to know in time
2012
02:00:19.771 --> 02:00:21.734
just because I\'m down in the deep,
2013
02:00:21.734 --> 02:00:23.905
tomorrow, I will rise up.
2014
02:00:23.905 --> 02:00:27.083
Who would have ever thought that little Cecil Young,
2015
02:00:27.083 --> 02:00:28.990
a little black child like me
2016
02:00:28.990 --> 02:00:30.363
born and raised in the ghetto,
2017
02:00:30.363 --> 02:00:33.132
born and raised in poverty could ever reach to a point
2018
02:00:33.132 --> 02:00:36.478
where I could be in city hall one day doing what I\'m doing.
2019
02:00:36.478 --> 02:00:38.434
Who would ever think that, huh?
2020
02:00:38.434 --> 02:00:41.273
I was busted for selling marijuana in 1965
2021
02:00:41.273 --> 02:00:42.913
when I was 16 years old.
2022
02:00:42.913 --> 02:00:45.264
I was involved in demonstrations with police,
2023
02:00:45.264 --> 02:00:46.881
raising cane here and there.
2024
02:00:46.881 --> 02:00:48.001
What did I do?
2025
02:00:48.001 --> 02:00:50.857
I realized in Hartford that they had a pardon board
2026
02:00:50.857 --> 02:00:53.191
that sooner or later if I got my act together,
2027
02:00:53.191 --> 02:00:54.500
I would go up to that board
2028
02:00:54.500 --> 02:00:56.686
and request that they erase my past,
2029
02:00:56.686 --> 02:00:59.219
erase it with all of the good things that I\'ve been able to.
2030
02:00:59.219 --> 02:01:00.253
And I want Bridgeport,
2031
02:01:00.253 --> 02:01:01.130
I want America,
2032
02:01:01.130 --> 02:01:02.972
I want the rest of the world to know
2033
02:01:02.972 --> 02:01:04.931
that I have changed my life.
2034
02:01:04.931 --> 02:01:07.318
I have began to turn around those things
2035
02:01:07.318 --> 02:01:10.571
that people have said that you could never turn around.
2036
02:01:10.571 --> 02:01:12.070
I got out of that darkness.
2037
02:01:12.070 --> 02:01:13.549
I got out of that drug life.
2038
02:01:13.549 --> 02:01:15.491
I got out of that life of crime,
2039
02:01:15.491 --> 02:01:16.840
out of running rampant,
2040
02:01:16.840 --> 02:01:18.561
out of looking like this and looking like that,
2041
02:01:18.561 --> 02:01:19.911
I got out of that kinda life.
2042
02:01:19.911 --> 02:01:21.587
I\'m living a new life now.
2043
02:01:21.587 --> 02:01:23.019
As some folks have said,
2044
02:01:23.019 --> 02:01:25.749
I\'m a new creature in Christ and that\'s good.
2045
02:01:25.749 --> 02:01:27.292
That\'s good and it\'s working.
2046
02:01:27.292 --> 02:01:31.019
It\'s workable and I\'ll say to anybody whoever you may be,
2047
02:01:31.019 --> 02:01:32.641
just because you\'re down
2048
02:01:32.641 --> 02:01:34.650
don\'t mean you got to stay down, huh?
2049
02:01:34.650 --> 02:01:37.050
You can fall down, you can get knocked down,
2050
02:01:37.050 --> 02:01:39.140
but it don\'t mean you have to stay down.
2051
02:01:39.140 --> 02:01:41.154
I was an elected town committee member.
2052
02:01:41.154 --> 02:01:43.891
I was the first black in this city to run for mayor.
2053
02:01:43.891 --> 02:01:45.702
Who else do you know ran for mayor in this city
2054
02:01:45.702 --> 02:01:47.281
but Cecil Young, huh?
2055
02:01:47.281 --> 02:01:49.568
Come on, we got to give credit where it due.
2056
02:01:49.568 --> 02:01:51.681
We got to give blessings where they deserve to go
2057
02:01:51.681 --> 02:01:53.173
and that\'s what it\'s all about.
2058
02:01:53.173 --> 02:01:54.773
Someday, I will be on the walls.
2059
02:01:54.773 --> 02:01:57.022
Someday, I will be up there like on the walls
2060
02:01:57.022 --> 02:01:58.012
with these other mayors.
2061
02:01:58.012 --> 02:02:00.412
You got John Mandanici, McLevy.
2062
02:02:00.412 --> 02:02:01.808
Someday they\'re gonna have a picture,
2063
02:02:01.808 --> 02:02:03.649
let me see where I want to be at.
2064
02:02:03.649 --> 02:02:04.482
Let me see.
2065
02:02:04.482 --> 02:02:05.315
Maybe they put me down at the end.
2066
02:02:05.315 --> 02:02:06.754
It don\'t matter, we been at the end before.
2067
02:02:06.754 --> 02:02:07.997
Long as I\'m up on the wall
2068
02:02:07.997 --> 02:02:08.830
and that\'s what it\'s all about.
2069
02:02:08.830 --> 02:02:09.663
2070
02:02:09.663 --> 02:02:10.671
2071
02:02:10.671 --> 02:02:13.000
The power\'s in my hand to open up those mountains
2072
02:02:13.000 --> 02:02:14.634
that can\'t even conceive of being open.
2073
02:02:14.634 --> 02:02:16.710
Let me tell you something, brother, what I\'m talking about.
2074
02:02:16.710 --> 02:02:19.292
You understand what I\'m saying?
2075
02:02:19.292 --> 02:02:20.125
Watch this.
2076
02:02:20.125 --> 02:02:20.982
Open up.
2077
02:02:20.982 --> 02:02:21.873
Anything you conceive,
2078
02:02:21.873 --> 02:02:23.292
all you have to do is work at it, brother.
2079
02:02:23.292 --> 02:02:24.743
That\'s what it\'s all about.
2080
02:02:24.743 --> 02:02:27.033
Someday, I\'m gonna run this building.
2081
02:02:27.033 --> 02:02:29.760
Someday, I\'m gonna run this building.
2082

2083

How y\'all doing today?
2084
02:02:32.492 --> 02:02:34.075

2085
02:02:36.715 --> 02:02:39.616
[deliberative jazz music]
[people chattering]
2086
02:02:39.616 --> 02:02:41.760
2087
02:02:41.760 --> 02:02:43.333
or to the surroundings around here,
2088
02:02:43.333 --> 02:02:46.093
so everything is fireproof and metal [mumbles].
2089
02:02:46.093 --> 02:02:48.701
[people chattering]
2090
02:02:48.701 --> 02:02:49.534
What\'s up?
2091
02:02:49.534 --> 02:02:50.540
2092
02:02:50.540 --> 02:02:51.373
You better never not have
2093
02:02:51.373 --> 02:02:52.896
no mother fuckin [mumbles] in there.
2094
02:02:52.896 --> 02:02:54.092
2095
02:02:54.092 --> 02:02:56.781
2096
02:02:56.781 --> 02:03:01.364
2097
02:03:02.987 --> 02:03:04.653
All right, what we have straight ahead of you there
2098
02:03:04.653 --> 02:03:06.180
is just a holding tank there.
2099
02:03:06.180 --> 02:03:08.101
That\'s when they\'re brought in from the street
2100
02:03:08.101 --> 02:03:11.053
\'til we process them in there.
2101
02:03:11.053 --> 02:03:12.812
This is our booking area here
2102
02:03:12.812 --> 02:03:16.508
for all the proceedings going on here.
2103
02:03:16.508 --> 02:03:18.710
We videotape as well.
2104
02:03:18.710 --> 02:03:21.127
We have our monitor up there.
2105
02:03:22.379 --> 02:03:26.361
We have our booking officers Jimmy and Kenny
2106
02:03:26.361 --> 02:03:29.310

2108
02:03:31.057 --> 02:03:32.807
2109
02:03:33.950 --> 02:03:36.024
I got a bruise right here on my shoulder
2110
02:03:36.024 --> 02:03:38.116
where they kicked me at.
2111
02:03:38.116 --> 02:03:38.949
They stopped me.
2112
02:03:38.949 --> 02:03:41.116
I have done nothing wrong.
2113
02:03:42.369 --> 02:03:43.286
Right here.
2114
02:03:45.900 --> 02:03:47.090
Right there.

02:03:47.090 --> 02:03:48.199
They done that tonight.
2116
02:03:48.199 --> 02:03:50.587
I haven\'t done nothing to him.
2117
02:03:50.587 --> 02:03:51.850
They say [mumbles] conduct.
2118
02:03:51.850 --> 02:03:52.808
I didn\'t do nothing to him.
2119
02:03:52.808 --> 02:03:53.969
They threw me down.
2120
02:03:53.969 --> 02:03:55.597
I\'m not arguing with him.
2121
02:03:55.597 --> 02:03:56.839
I gotta go to work in the morning.
2122
02:03:56.839 --> 02:03:57.672
I\'m a working man.
2123
02:03:57.672 --> 02:04:01.672
I got a wife and three kids like everybody else.
