Every great dream begins with a dreamer.
Traveling...you always should wait until daybreak. Not to be noticed.
Sometimes when I'm going back them clouds come in so low it feels like a dream.
I meet all kinda people coming and going who ain't trying to be seen either.
I normally just pass, but this time I had to ask...who they were.
Broom Hilda.
Broom Hilda? I heard that called a witch and...
...another story of a princess in a woman's body with a child's mind.
Why would a slave master name her that?
Django.
He's the perfect, heroic cowboy out for love.
Django? I heard of a coffin toting killer bent on revenge called that name...
but he was from another country and white. Why would a slave master name a slave...?
They told me the strangest story. These two people didn't quite seem real.
Like storybook characters themselves..
I just remember my heart and mind being pulled in lots of different directions...
...but, I had never seen anything like this before...something so important in our history.
They said that they killed all the masters at a plantation...
...and just left all the slaves behind. Explain that?
They weren't even their own people. They were property.
Look at me!
I remember having a lot of complicated complex reactions, because it's such ummm...it doesn't fit.
Guns in all that...
...When you look at Gladiator or Braveheart it's about his woman.
I'm not going to save slavery. I ain't going to be able to cure it. I not going to be able to make a person think one way or the other... .
I can do is: I can make sure woman knows she's safe and that's the most important thing I can do. I didn't have to kill nobody!
The slave is docile. I want to see our Spartacus. I want to see the black slave takeup arms and avenge his woman.
If I remember correctly...didn't Spartacus dedicate his life to freeing all the slaves?
Night came and I had somewhere I had to be. I hope their next story has a better ending.
My very soul told me...Ain't nobody truly free nowhere as long as there's just one slave anywhere.
Broom Hilda working the Underground Railroad and Django being on the run because he is a wanted man.
Whenever you ready.
I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.
Ain't nobody truly free nowhere as long as there's just one slave anywhere.
Harriet Tubman made 18 trips back to the South to free slaves in her lifetime.
