(upbeat music)
00:02
I'm trying to find a way we can lift the burden
00:06
off the shoulders of black people of white supremacy.
00:08
What if we skip over all that hoping?
00:12
What if we skip over all of the pleading and the begging
00:15
and the marching and the shouting
00:18
and go straight to the power?
00:19
During the great migration,
00:20
about 6 million black people left the South
00:23
for cities in the North and West.
00:25
I suggest that black people return to the States
00:27
with the highest percentages already of black people
00:30
where they can gain political power.
00:32
If we're gonna make a go of it,
00:33
the South makes a lot of sense.
00:35
I was shaken and nervous,
00:40
maybe even afraid about leaving New York for Atlanta.
00:44
I've convinced myself that this is what we must do
00:47
as black people.
00:48
I don't know if you could convince that many people
00:51
to move that way.
00:52
The argument of like, "Hey, go South,"
00:54
is that much different from,
00:56
"Hey, up North, let's get this together."
00:58
You are encouraging black Chicago to stay here,
01:00
stay intact. I am.
01:01
This is our city.
01:02
I want for black boys to live in a world
01:08
where they do not have to think
01:09
about protecting their humanity.
01:12
Those who don't wanna see sharing of that power
01:16
will do all that they can to waylay that situation.
01:18
There is the X factor of these voter suppression bills.
01:21
Every freedom is at stake.
01:25
There's some things in life that are bigger than you.
01:28
It has to be about community success.
01:32
We are the cavalry we've been waiting on.
01:34
I have to figure out if I am being an apostle
01:38
of black power or am I chasing windmills?
01:42
We gotta get back and claim really what we built.
