[BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, spoken]
Coalhouse Walker's strategy of vengeance seemed to some the final proof of his insanity. Only a madman would shift the focus of his rage from Willie Conklin, a common bigot, to J.P. Morgan, the most uncommon and powerful man of his time. 

[Lightning flashes and thunder crashes. We now see the VIGIL WOMEN with candles.]

[WOMEN AT VIGIL]
A day of peace
A day of pride
A day of justice
We have been denied
Let the new day dawn
Oh, Lord, I pray!

[J.P. MORGAN tries to impress a flustered DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHARLES S. WHITMAN of the gravity of the situation. Also present is WILLIE CONKLIN who is being made to repair COALHOUSE'S car, and FATHER.]

[CHARLES WHITMAN, spoken, through megaphone]
Mr. Walker. This is District Attorney Charles S. Whitman. Do you hear me? I have Fire Chief Willie Conklin with me. He is restoring your car. Will you come out, sir?

[WILLIE CONKLIN, spoken]
Are you gonna let me be a martyr?

[CHARLES WHITMAN, spoken]
Mr. Conklin will receive due process. You both will!

[J.P. MORGAN, spoken]
How much longer are you going to stand for this? Give him his car and then hang the savage!
