Funeral Oration by the priest in Alan Parker's movie. Music by Trevor JonesThey want me to say, "Let us not forget that two white boys also died helping negros help themselves." They want me to say, "We mourn with the mothers of these two white boys." But the state of Mississippi won't even allow these white boys to be buried in the same cemetary as this negro boy. I say, "I have no more love to give! I have only anger in my heart today, and I want you to be angry with me! That I am sick and I am tired, and I want You to be sick and tired with me! I..I..I am sick and tired of going to the funerals of black men who have been murdered by white men! And I..I am sick and tired of the people of this country who continue to allow these things to happen!" What is an unalienable right if You are a negro? What does it mean, "equal treatment under the law"? What..what does it mean, "liberty and justice for all"? Now I say to these people, "Look at the face of this young man, and You will see the face of a black man. But if You look at the blood shed, it is red! It is like yours! It is just like yours!"

This is the only movie i have ever actually felt emotional with, including this scene, the speech is so powerful >.>

This is so powerful - particularly because Obama won a few days ago!

We have come far 44 years ago to today. Tears of anguish have become tears of joy with progress from segregation and Jim Crow and lynchings by the Klan to now an African American elected president. We shall, over come, we are over coming, and now we have over come this day.
