{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
And it made big, strong people out you baby. Big, strong people out of us. And it got you ready for this big job.
[00:00:13]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
So all you can do now, if you don't want it, stand over there with the white folks and march against us.
[00:00:20]

{SPEAKER name="Brother Gildersleeve"}
And if you do march it- want it, march with us, but we got to have you out here in the street now. Because when you don't come out you lead them to believe that you didn't want it.
[00:00:33]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
So if you gon' make him feel you didn't want it, then get with him. I would rather see a negro when I come to Selma, Alabama marchin' with the white police, if they're not gonna march with me because it's one thing, I don't mind dying, but I'd hate to die askin' "Where was my folks, man?".
[00:00:58]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
Either be here on my side or be in front of me. Just let me see ya. Let me see ya! Where was my folks? That's all. I hate to ask, "Were you there when they crucified the boss?"
[00:01:18]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
That's a nice song to sing now but you have opportunities this time. I don't know what song is gonna come out of this one. It's gon' have some.
[00:01:30]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
It sure would be a heck of a thing when they start singing em when you, grand kids and great grand kids can stand up and sing [laughter]. Ya he was there baby.
[00:01:41]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
He was there and 20 years from now and 30 years from now, people gon' be askin' you "Where were you?".
[00:01:50]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
I'd like to tell you this story and then leave.{SILENCE}
[00:02:03]

{SPEAKER name="Dick Gregory"}
I talked to one of the fathers.
