00:11We heard over the radio that King had been killed, and so I knew instantly that I wanted
00:20to go. You know, I think that people's emotions just had really been rubbed raw. The whites
00:29that lived there really were offended by the fact that we were honoring King, because
00:37they hated King. So this woman comes out of nowhere, and in her pocketbook she has a liquor
00:45bottle, and she hurls the liquor bottle at me and hits me in the shoulder, and then spits
00:52on me. You know, I really wanted to pick up a chair, pick up a rock, pick up a gun,
01:01pick
01:01up whatever I could. There was an undercurrent in the black community that maybe this pacifism
01:11isn't in the right direction. Maybe we need to strike back more. When they hit us, we
01:16hit them. You know, my weapon, if you will, was my camera.
