My children are going to own that land.

I don't understand the reticence of saying this is what happened here.

It is just a weird line to draw in the sand.

I'm not being persecuted.

My life is in no way negatively affected by standing up and saying this is the truth of what happened here.

You know, a child was tortured to death.

Why can't we all confront it?

I don't understand.

the cultural insecurity that leads... And maybe this is just being a landowner in Mississippi.

You know what I mean?

Maybe I'm disconnected from other people's insecurity.

I don't think so.

But I don't understand why anyone would feel so insecure that they wouldn't want this history taught and wouldn't trumpet it.

Because by the way, shit isn't great, but you read the history of 1955, it's a lot better.

You know, like I actually find great comfort in reading about how horrible it was.

I just don't understand why people don't want every single person to know that history.

I don't get it.

Of course.

And by the way, like, I love nostalgia, even though I know it's dangerous.

Yeah.
