- The country still
was very segregated.

00:03.103 --> 00:05.939 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- [Man] There were no African
Americans living there.

00:05.939 --> 00:08.074 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
You know, they tried
to purchase 50 acres

00:08.074 --> 00:11.044 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and they had to send
Orpheus who looked white.

00:11.044 --> 00:13.046 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- To cut the deal
to sell the property

00:13.046 --> 00:15.682 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
was probably a normal
thing for them to do.

00:15.682 --> 00:18.151 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
But then they learned
that he's married

00:18.151 --> 00:21.521 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to Marian Anderson and
the deal now is off.

00:22.455 --> 00:23.857 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
The sellers were saying

00:23.857 --> 00:26.593 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that if we sell you the property

00:26.593 --> 00:31.531 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
then the property around that
would have no real value.

00:31.531 --> 00:34.567 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- [Man] They expanded the
purchase to a hundred acres.

00:34.567 --> 00:36.302 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
They thought that
would scare them off.

00:36.302 --> 00:38.671 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(gentle music)

00:38.671 --> 00:40.540 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
But they did, they did
buy the hundred acres

00:40.540 --> 00:43.243 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and they had a real farm there.

00:43.243 --> 00:46.312 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- [Marian] The horses
that we have here,

00:46.312 --> 00:49.115 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
when they see you coming
they'll come up to the gate

00:49.115 --> 00:52.152 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and make a nice little
sound to let you know

00:52.152 --> 00:53.620 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that they're glad you're here.

00:55.789 --> 01:00.693 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- She had calves,
pigs, not, you know

01:02.128 --> 01:04.464 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
those cute little pigs.
Hogs, those big, big hogs.

01:06.666 --> 01:09.335 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
They had Kerry Blue Terriers,

01:10.470 --> 01:11.771 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
beautiful, beautiful dogs.

01:15.542 --> 01:18.111 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Chickens, they
had some chickens.

01:20.080 --> 01:21.681 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
So it was quite a place.

01:22.849 --> 01:25.718 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And I remember going
there when I was a kid

01:25.718 --> 01:28.855 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and just being totally
fascinated by all of that.

01:30.056 --> 01:32.625 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
