00:00911. This is Angie at the Dollar General. In what city? At Grand Saline and the man's on fire out in the parking lot. The man is on fire? Yes, the man just set himself on fire.
00:16I don't remember ever meeting anyone who was so personally hurt by injustice and inequality.
00:23For a majority of like the black people in this town, they're not going to go to Grand Saline.
00:27All I can tell you is the black folks are welcome in my place right here any day that they want to be.
00:33Grand Saline holding some kind of racism or racist idea as a community, that doesn't exist and I don't think we have to continue to talk about that.
00:44When you live and you are around it enough, you get a feel. The air is kind of palpable. You can feel that it's not comfortable to be here. The eyes are on you.
00:57We got to get past this fabricating crap and get back to reality. Just as rare as that dude setting himself on fire for the black community, just as rare as the KKK riding a parade right down the main street of Grand Saline, Texas. It ain't going to happen.
01:10You just can't erase the things that's been done about Grand Saline.
01:17You know how old he is? Out of all this age, he still remembers.
01:22The race of the blacks newly freed, they were considered less than human in a lot of cases and without soul in some cases throughout the South.
01:39Well, the losing of a war don't change your mind.
