I'm Not There. (2007): Jack Recieves The Civil Rights Award

The clip Jack Recieves The Civil Rights Award from I'm Not There. (2007)

I remember, uh,
Kennedy's funeral was on TV, and we were sitting outside.
You could hear it.
I was pulling up chunks of grass with my fist
and feeling like we were splitting apart.
And... And, yeah, I asked him
what did he think made us so different?
And he said it was simple.
You know, I thought that I could change things,
and he knew that no one could.
You know, look at Kennedy.
Then there was the fiasco at the Civil Liberties Union,
where Jack received the Civil Rights Award
and drank three vats of wine for the trouble.
Thank you.
I wanna accept this on behalf of, uh,
everybody that went down to Cuba.
First of all, because you're all young, you know?
And it's took me a long time to get young,
and now I consider myself young.
And I'm proud of it.
It ain't old people's world out there.
I mean, you all shouldn't even be here.
I mean... it's not like before.
There's no black or white,
no more left wing, right wing, you know?
There's up wing and there's down wing,
which is why I think that, you know,
this man who shot President Kennedy,
this Lee Oswald,
I think I saw something that... that he felt... in me.
Hey, but I'm just saying...
You can boo, but booing's got nothing to do with it!
