The Twilight Zone Rod Serling's words: Episode "He's Alive'' [View all]

[Ichingcarpenter]

''Where will he go next? This phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare. Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive.''

''He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because, through these things, we keep him alive.''

This episode aired 10 days after George Wallace's "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever!" inauguration speech.
