1408

of two local Creek children

1422
01:07:21,808 --> 01:07:24,110
and the numerous instances
of grafter guardians

1423
01:07:24,277 --> 01:07:26,980
robbing underage inheritors
of all wealth in our state,

1424
01:07:27,147 --> 01:07:28,915

that I represent this child.

Oh. They're colored,

1436
01:08:03,883 --> 01:08:05,685

can't be trusted with money.

1437

on account of my ancestors.

1440
01:08:12,325 --> 01:08:15,280
I knew in my soul
there was oil on it.

1441
01:08:15,195 --> 01:08:16,663
My folks believed me

1442
01:08:16,830 --> 01:08:18,231
and so did Mr. Smith,

1443
01:08:18,398 --> 01:08:20,233
even though Pan-Okie
said it was dry.

1444
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,401
It's funny.

1445
01:08:21,868 --> 01:08:23,436
When the land
had only weeds and lizards,

1446
01:08:23,536 --> 01:08:25,138
it was all mine,

1447
01:08:25,305 --> 01:08:26,973
but when people found out
there was oil on it,

1448
01:08:27,730 --> 01:08:28,942
they started thinking
it's theirs,

1449
01:08:29,109 --> 01:08:31,111
and I have to get
a white guardian.

1450
01:08:31,277 --> 01:08:33,480
All I'm asking
is to keep what's mine.

1451
01:08:33,646 --> 01:08:35,615
What was given fair and square.

1452
01:08:36,816 --> 01:08:38,318
Isn't that what the law is for?

1453
01:08:38,651 --> 01:08:40,186

1454
01:08:40,353 --> 01:08:42,455

01:36:28,455 --> 01:36:29,656
the call,

1927
01:36:29,823 --> 01:36:32,892
the adventure
just beyond the horizon.

1928
01:36:35,428 --> 01:36:37,731
I did meet other folks.

1929
01:36:37,897 --> 01:36:39,990
John D. Rockefeller,

1930
01:36:39,265 --> 01:36:40,700
the richest man in the world,

1931
01:36:40,867 --> 01:36:43,536
came to town and we cut a deal.

1932
01:36:43,703 --> 01:36:45,372
I was a natural-born negotiator,

1933
01:36:45,538 --> 01:36:47,707
or so he told me.

1934
01:36:47,841 --> 01:36:50,276
Mr. Rockefeller and his
Standard Oil Company

1935
01:36:50,443 --> 01:36:52,645
paid $36 million

1936
01:36:52,812 --> 01:36:54,614
for the rights to my land

1937
01:36:54,781 --> 01:36:56,820
and surrounding lots

1938
01:36:56,216 --> 01:36:59,119
known as
the Cushing-Drumright pool,

1939
01:36:59,285 --> 01:37:02,689
and I got 12.5% royalty.

1940
01:37:03,656 --> 01:37:04,924
I moved to Kansas City

1941
01:37:05,910 --> 01:37:06,593
and hosted cultural events

1942
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:09,362
where Duke Ellington
and Count Basie performed,

1943
01:37:09,529 --> 01:37:11,865
and the great boxer Jack Johnson

1944
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:13,566
put on exhibitions.

1945
01:37:16,803 --> 01:37:19,139
But the first thing
I did with my money

1946
01:37:19,305 --> 01:37:20,840
when I was 11 years old...

1947
01:37:22,475 --> 01:37:25,111
was buy the Busy Bee Cafe,

1948
01:37:25,945 --> 01:37:28,815
and open it to everyone.

1949
01:37:32,218 --> 01:37:34,187
As my mama said,

1950
01:37:34,354 --> 01:37:36,790
"God gave you gifts,"

1951
01:37:36,956 --> 01:37:39,859
"the only sin
is not to use 'em."

1952
01:37:50,700 --> 01:37:52,572
