00:30That property was so valuable, and not from a monetary standpoint, but valuable because of the history.
00:37The first owner of the property, he was born in slavery times.
00:41My great-grandfather died without a living will.
00:44Before he died, he said, whatever you do, don't let the white man have my land.
00:52Okay, yeah, this is our beach. This is our land.
00:56Right? This is our water, our club, everything.
00:58This is our land. Okay.
01:01This is our land. This is our club, our space, anything.
01:05There's word of part of the property being sold to someone else that the family had no knowledge of.
01:11We was getting threats.
01:14They came down and put eviction notice on a lot of Curtis and Melvin houses.
01:19Hey!
01:19My uncle Melvin told me, I need your help.
01:23If they're saying we have to sign our rights away or go to jail, I'm going to jail.
01:28It was heartbreaking to see them chained.
01:32I went in at 52, come out at 61.
01:37It took the best years of my life.
01:39We fightin' power. We fightin' money.
01:44What are you doin'?
01:46They really wanted this land.
01:48Can't you see that you're breaking me?
01:50If you clear out Silver Dollar Road, what you gonna do with us?
01:53What you gonna do with poor people? Period.
01:56Will it heal my wounded heart?
01:59The family can shop from the rooftops.
02:01The truth.
02:03Nobody listen to them.
02:04Will it heal me before?
02:06This is ours.
02:08Far.
02:09Our ancestors left this here for us.
02:12Will it heal my wounded heart?
02:13All of this is what you're fightin' for.
02:16Eh, ah, ah.
02:20Eh, ah, ah.
02:22Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:35Oh.
02:36Oh.
