civil rights. >> black power! this is the wrong way! ♪ ♪ ♪ we talk about it as separation of the races, customs

and traditions built up over the last 100 years that proved for the best interest of both, the colored and the white people. >> it was almost 100 years after the emancipation proclamation and america is still racially segregated. black people couldn't vote in the south. they couldn't even go into the public libraries. the public libraries were segregated. the churches were segregated. ♪ >> we are in atlanta, georgia in the ebenezer baptist church where the father and son are co-pastors. >> frankly, as others have said, i don't know what the future holds but i know who holds the future. this is our hope. this is that something that keeps us going.

>> martin luther king was immensely frustrated by the end of the 1950s because he had become famous. he's preaching all over the country. he knows that's his gift but he says people cry at my sermons but the next morning, it's still segregated. >> martin king called about 50 ministers from across the south to start a non-violent movement. the understanding of teaching non-violence was clear but there wasn't anybody that could teach it like jim lawson. >> james lawson has been to india and comes back with this storehouse of ghandhi tactics. >> martin king said come to nashville now, we need you now. so i went to nashville and organized other people. >> now tonight we have a most important business to try to accomplish, and that is to try to have one major role-playing

experience, which sort of tries to set the stage for an actual demonstration for an actual sit in. >> he talked about the civil rights movement in the '60s. people talk about birmingham but the incubator was nashville, tennessee. james lawson taught about non-violence. teaching people like james louis and diane gnash how to not swing back if somebody hits you with a night stick. >> we actually practiced sitting in, some took the role of students who were sitting at a lunch counter and others took the role of white thugs. we were practicing how to remain non-violent even in the face of violence. >> there had been other sit ins in those early months of 1960

they sat there all day and realized that white people were flummoxed. >> it is creating bewilderment and confusion among the white and negros themselves. >> when this disciplined platoon comes into a store and occupies the seats at the lunch counter, they refuse to move at the request of a store owner. they put on a bullish exhibition of what seems to be bad manners and crashing into a place where they are not welcome, i submit it comes with poor grace where their spokesman charges the store owner with bad behavior. >> mr. kilpatrick you have to agree with me all people should obey just laws but i would also say an unjust law is no law at all and when we find an unjust law i think we have a moral obligation to take a stand

against it. >> during the weeks after the sit ins began, opposition in the white communities of the south solidified and the first signs of violence appeared. >> the man came out and said that there was a fight down the side. there was a bunch of colored people on the stools of the counters so i instructed the men to put them under arrest.

but if he can wipe the tears from my daughter-in-law's eyes, i have the courage to vote for kennedy for president, and i have a suitcase full of votes. >> dr. king, have you heard anything from vice president nixon or any of his supporters? >> i've been confined and i haven't talked with anybody from washington or from the campaign. >> do you know of any efforts made on behalf of the kennedys? >> well, i understand that the kennedy group did make definite contacts and did a great deal to make my release possible. >> it turned out that phone call was given credit for kennedy's victory in one of the closest elections in modern history. king said, i hope that at last we have a president with the intelligence to understand this

problem. i'm convinced he has that understanding and now we'll have to see what his passion leads him to do. >> what together we can do. >> kennedy in his inaugural speech did not have a single mention of a domestic issue. they said all these people out there, in particular black people who voted for you and you've got to give them something. what they did then was add two words talking about freedom and human rights abroad and at home. that was the only mention. >> kennedy's administration is trying to keep a lid on the civil rights issue, and civil right activists are determined to push ahead. >> brave blacks and whites rode into the deep south together on gray hound and trail ways buses to challenge segregation as freedom riders.

>> the freedom ride started with two buses, 13 people going from washington d.c. to new orleans. >> the concept of the freedom ride was to show that the desegregation laws were not being enforced in the south. >> even though the law the man says that a passenger can ride inner state and participate in lunchrooms and waiting rooms and bathrooms, the law says this, everyone cannot, particularly the negro. they are buying tickets from town to town and getting off in each down, going into waiting rooms, restaurants, cafes that are segregated in such a manner to enrage them and provoke them. that's what they are doing. >> we were aboard a gray hound

bus going to birmingham and surrounded by a mob. he followed us for about four miles until one of our tires went flat and finally threw a bomb into the bus, the bug filled very rapidly with black smoke. >> meanwhile, when the bus got to birmingham it was even worse. >> they dragged about six of the passengers out, both negro and white. they took them into corridors and alleys and began beating them, began hitting them with lead pipes. they knocked one man, a white man down at my feet and beat him and kicked him until his face was a bloody read pulp. >> the riders were severely beaten, could not continue. the nashville movement decided that we had to take up the freedom ride where it had left off. >> groups would be dispatched.

>> diane nash made the line that made the difference. >> she said we will not allow to destroy non-violence. this is the test. ten of the kids said we will go tonight and that's the stuff that makes you free. that's the stuff that is freedom. >> a group of them got on a bus in birmingham. when the bus pulled into the montgomery station, john louis could see hundreds of whites headed towards them with baseball bats, bricks, rocks. >> an angry mob came out of nowhere. they started beating the freedom riders. i was hit with a wooden crate. beaten, left lying in a pool of blood.

>> before police finally broke up the crowd with tear gas, they beat and injured at least 20 persons. >> after the riders are attacked and brutally beaten, the freedom riders essentially become trapped in the first baptist church. >> the church was surrounded and people were setting fire to cars. >> it is a very dangerous situation. no one could leave the church. >> dr. king had gone over to montgomery from atlanta to lend support to the freedom riders and so king, too, along with the riders is trapped at this church. >> it's very easy for us to get angry and bitter and violent in a moment like this but i think this is a testing point. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

exposure to the civil rights movement and prod the kennedy administration. >> martin luther king decided that they should have major demonstrations, only in areas at local law enforcement would react violently. >> do you think you can keep birmingham in the present situation of segregation? >> i may not be able to do it, but i'll do trying. >> bill conner has a well-known identity as one of the hardest hard liners in defense of segregation. he encouraged the hiring of clansmen on his police force. >> king is assuming that bill conner is going to provide the pictures and footage they need to outrage the country. >> commissioner conner used mass arrests, fire hoses, police dogs to break up the demonstrations. >> the demonstrations continued for weeks. you've got 12, 14, 20 adults max

with wallace that civil rights became top priority. >> this is not a sectional issue. difficulties over segregation and discrimination exist in every city, in every state of the union. but love alone cannot make men see right. we are confronted primarily with a moral issue. it is as old as the scriptures and as clear as the american constitution. >> and that was the first time the president made the question of ending racial segregation not because it's politically expedient to do so, because it is morally right to do so. >> next week i shall ask the congress of the united states to act to make a commitment it has not fully made in this century to the proposition that race has no place in american life or law. >> it's his most eloquent speech in some ways, most heartfelt

speech. >> and this nation for all its hopes will not be fully free until all its citizens are free. >> there is a kind of bitter irony in that within hours afterwards, medgar evers comes home and his wife and children are up because they want to tell him about the president's wonderful speech. >> shortly after midnight, medgar evers steps in his car in this driveway. then evers was murdered. the fatal bullet was fired from a vacant lot across the street from his home, crashing through his body and the window of his home. he was 37. >> i was appalled at the cowardly ambush of him at his home in front of his wife and children. it said something about how far we still had to go in reaching any semblance of social and

the energy that allows the march on washington to start coming together. >> we will keep this demonstration nonviolent. it will be peaceful. it will be dignified and disciplined. and i think it will have a great impact. >> in my judgment, there was perhaps only one man or woman in america who could have put that march together, and it was bayard rustin. >> we need the movement of best minds many of which are white as well as black. >> rustin was simply an organizational genius. he was the best and the brightest. >> do you feel that the president's civil rights program is actually not needed? >> i don't think it's needed.

and furthermore, i think it's unconstitutional. >> segregationists senators like strom thurmond are attempting to trumpet the fact that bayard is known to be gay as a way to undercut the march. >> there was an effort to block rustin being selected. and martin king said let he who has not sinned cast the first stone. dead silence. i recommend very strongly i recommend very strongly rustin be designated as the director and chief of staff of the march. people around him said i second that. >> freedom now movement, hear me. we are requesting all citizens to move into washington, to go by plane, by car, bus, any way that you can get there. go to washington. ♪ >> pass them down. >> the white house, the washington police department, the defense department were all drawing up these tremendous contingency plans for mass violence.

[ cheering ] >> and i would never forget the speech of martin luther king jr. on that day, dr. king spoke out of his soul. and he used that day and the steps of the lincoln memorial to preach a sermon not just to america, but to the world. >> i am happy to join with you

today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

there is nothing for me to say. >> it is said that the human mind has a greater capacity for remembering the pleasant than the unpleasant. but today was a day that will live in memory and in grief. >> no words are strong enough to express our determination to continue the forward thrust of america that he began. >> lyndon johnson wasn't that widely known to the country at large. johnson's aides say to him in this speech don't fight for civil rights. it's a noble cause, but it's a

lost cause. you know what johnson says to them? well, what the hell is the presidency for then? >> no memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor president kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill for which he fought so long. >> johnson gets that civil rights bill moving in the first few weeks after kennedy's assassination. >> dixiecrats led by richard russell announced a filibuster. that is they would continue to talk and prevent the bill from coming forward for a straight up or down vote. >> this bill which we feel is a perversion of the american way of life and a great blow at the right of dominion over private property that has been the genesis of our greatness. >> lbj and his allies knew they were short. so thus began a 24/7 campaign. he bullied. he cajoled.

he made deals in order to get enough senators on board. >> surprisingly, after a year on capitol hill, this bill is stronger than the one president kennedy first requested. president johnson should have the bill on his desk by the fourth of july. >> we hope to send in to mississippi this summer upwards of 1,000 teachers, ministers, and students to open up mississippi to the country. >> freedom summer, an operation to flood the state of mississippi with volunteers white and black students. >> we were there because we could assume that if the white mississippians mistreated us the way they mistreated the black people, that would be the basis on which to mobilize national opinion. >> we will treat anyone with great respect here in mississippi, but we will treat the people who come here, these children like any other backward

children should be treated. >> and here is the news. >> there is some mystery and some fear concerning three civil rights workers, two whites from new york city and a negro from mississippi. police say they arrested the three men for speeding yesterday, but released them after they posted bond. they have not been heard from since. >> they paid the fine and i released them and i escorted them to their car. and that's the last time we saw any of them. >> we got word that mickey and andy and james had been arrested. and there was no word what had happened to them.

>> mr. president, i wanted to let you know we have found the car. >> yeah? >> now this is not known. nobody knows this at all, but the car was burned and we do not know yet whether any bodies are inside of the car because of the intense heat. it is merely an assumption that probably they were burned in the car. >> or maybe kidnapped and locked up. >> i doubt people down there would even give them that much of a break. >> we believe that all men are entitled to the blessings of liberty, yet millions are being deprived of those blessings. not because of their own failures, but because of the color of their skin. we can understand without rancor or hatred how this all happened.

election laws from state to state prevents many from voting. political machines disenfranchise others by downright fraud. the negro citizen may go to register only to be told that the day is wrong or the hour is late, or the official in charge is absent. >> there are five counties in mississippi, each at least 57% negro in which no negroes at all are registered. >> today marks the beginning of a determined, organized, mobilized campaign to get the right to vote all over this state. >> martin luther king chooses the city of selma because it has the worst record of any southern city on black voting. >> we will seek to arouse the conscience of the federal government by marching by the thousands on places of

registration all over the city. >> now move. move. move. >> student protesters had already had a presence in selma going back to 1963, but had found it exceptionally tough going because the dallas county sheriff, jim clark, was an even tougher version of birmingham's bull conner. >> court is not in session this afternoon as you were informed. you came down to make a mockery out of this courthouse.

this courthouse is a serious place of business. you seem to take it to be just a disneyland or something on parade. >> we have had numerous negroes that couldn't read and write come down and say they were told to come, and if they didn't come, they would lose their pensions from the welfare department or their social security or have their land confiscated if they didn't show up to register to vote. and when they came down, they had no idea then what they were supposed to do. >> you are breaking the injunction by not allowing these people to come inside this courthouse and wait. this courthouse does not belong to sheriff clark. this courthouse belongs to the people of dallas county, and these are the people of dallas county. and they have come to register. and you know this within your own heart, sheriff clark. >> clark, he knew what he wanted to do to me, but he couldn't do it in the open because of all those cameras, right. >> we have come to be here because they are registering at this time. and i can't enforce the law.

>> we have come to register. and this is our reason for being here. >> you're blinding me with that light. move back. >> if you want to arrest us, arrest us. >> why don't you get out in front of the camera and go on. >> it's a matter of facing your sheriff and facing your judge. we're willing to be beaten for democracy. and you misuse democracy. you beat people bloody in order for them not to have the privilege to vote. >> i'm here to tell you tonight that the mayor of this city, the police commissioner of this

city, and everybody in the white power structure of this city must take a responsibility for everything that jim clark does in this community. >> we're marching today to dramatize to the nation, dramatize to the world the hundreds and thousands of negro citizens of alabama, but particularly here in the area denied the right to vote. we intend to march to montgomery to send our grievance to governor george c. wallace. >> governor george wallace's head of the alabama state patrol in tandem with his good buddy sheriff jim clark thinks that what these marchers deserve is a good beating.

the summer of '65, johnson gets that voting rights bill passed. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> sure, the '64 civil rights act led to dramatic changes. but politically, at least in the short-run, the voting rights act was even more dramatic. >> this is an examination room at the central post office in downtown birmingham where under

the federal voting rights act of 1965, federal officials are examining people to determine their qualifications to register and vote under the laws of alabama. >> once the voting rights act was passed and people got the right to vote, they stopped sitting in and started voting. and that turned out to be much more effective. >> the number of blacks who began voting across the south, the number of black office holders at the local level, the state level, at the congressional level, one of the greatest changes in american society. >> this is what james meredith intends to do for the next two weeks, march along the highways of mississippi, a state where he is one of the most hated men alive. his purpose, meredith hopes to encourage unregistered negroes along the way to qualify as voters. he also by his very presence

hopes to dispel some of the fear negroes have in the south. >> in 1965 with the passage of the voting rights act, you'd have thought anything was possible. but then very quickly after that, things start to fall apart. >> as james meredith was walking along the highway, a gunman stepped out of the woods and just blasted him with a shotgun. >> meredith was taken to a memphis hospital under police guard. his blood still remains on the highway. >> once he was shot, then there had to be some response by the movement. they had to show that the segregationists can't win that way. they got together and decided to continue the march. stokely carmichael and martin luther king.

stokely carmichael was very much unlike the national group in terms of his perspective. >> we feel that we must continue this march right now, that it is urgent to do it. and we will be calling on people of good will from all over the nation to join us in this march. >> martin luther king was almost at the level of sainthood. stokely carmichael understood that he needed that symbol in order to provide legitimacy for what he was trying to do. >> we want to put president johnson on the spot. he called a conference two days ago to fulfill these rights. we want those rights fulfilled. they cannot be fulfilled with words. words cannot stop bullets. and we need action and we need it now from the federal government. >> no more questions, gentlemen. >> all right. >> we have the march. >> the most impressive thing about this march on mississippi is a developing coalition among civil rights leaders. there are reports of differences between leaders, and they are

true. but their organizations have always been divided. a split among them is nothing new. put them all together on march on a highway in mississippi, and frictions emerge because of personal competition and individual ego. >> our sweat and blood built mississippi, and we got to take it over because we deserve to have it. that's what we are working for. >> stokely carmichael started expressing the goal now is black people exercising power. >> let me say first that this march is nonviolent. it is a nonviolent expression of our determination to be free. this is a principle of the march, and certainly we intend to keep this march nonviolent. >> mr. carmichael, are you as committed to the nonviolent approach as dr. king is? >> no, i'm not. >> why aren't you? >> i just don't see this as a way of life. i never have. and i also realize that no one in this country is asking the

white community in the south to be nonviolent. and that in a sense is giving them a free license to go ahead and shoot us at will. >> if there was a symbol of white anger at negro protest in the north this summer, it was cicero, illinois, a town chosen by dr. martin luther king as the pressure point in his open housing drive. >> dr. king takes the civil rights movement north to chicago. and the issue is housing. >> the northern scene was a far more complicated scene and did not have the advantage of the jim crowe law. >> it was one thing for northern liberals when the issue was integration in selma. it's quite a different thing when it was in cicero. >> if let's say 10 or 20 families moved into cicero, which is a town of 70,000?

>> they'd get killed. >> it was the beginning of serious white backlash against the entire civil rights movement. >> the nation suddenly learned what it should have known, that racial prejudice was not just a southern problem. it was nationwide. whites in the north could comfort themselves by pointing a finger at the south, they could do so no longer. >> once again showing open hostility. these people here are firmly opposed to these marches. moreover, they don't see where they serve any useful purpose. >> most of the national press categorizes chicago as a defeat for king. >> i can say that i have never seen even in mississippi and

alabama mobs as hostile and as hate-filled as have i seen in chicago. >> there was a growing feeling that king's movement wasn't working. he had lost a lot of support from whites and blacks, martin luther king is a good man. he is my brother. he is still like me. we're all catching hell. he's got his approaches of freedom. he is doing his best. and he is changing now too. he sees now that it seems to be impossible to do what he want to do. >> king was rapidly being eclipsed by a younger and much more militant faction of the black power movement. together ironically was segregation. once that has been overcome, then the question is what do you want? >> i would like for all of us to believe in nonviolence, but i'm here to say tonight that if

i think there is a realization in this country that black power is not just a mere slogan, nationally or internationally. it is real that black people can come together and start determining for their lives how they're going to live and controlling their economic and political lives. so it means you have to build a movement so strong in this country that if one black man is

touched, every black man will rise up and let this country know they're not going to tolerate. >> you talk about loving these honkies to death. during these rebellions, you have to stop looking and start shooting. >> black power. >> the issue is one that moves across civil rights, moves across poverty. we get this explosion of violence. you have the watts riots. then subsequently riots in newark, in detroit. >> the riots spring to the fore the problems of inner city life. a consequence of a generation of neglect in america's urban centers. >> this happened on 12th street in detroit in july. next time it could happen downtown or in your town. >> when you stood on the lincoln memorial, you said "i had a dream." did that dream envision the federal government preventing

the society doing for the negroes that which you think had to be done? >> it was a high moment, a great watershed moment. but i must confess that that dream that i had that day has turned into a nightmare. now i'm not one to lose hope. i keep on hoping. i still have faith in the future. but i've had to analyze many things over the last few years, and i would say over the last few months i've gone through a lot of soul-searching and agonizing moments. and some of the old optimism was a little superficial. and now it must be tempered with a solid realism. and i think the realistic fact is that we still have a long, long way to go. >> martin luther king jr. was killed tonight in memphis, tennessee, shot in the face as he stood on the balcony of his

hotel room. >> martin was gone. and the main part of everything was over. and we knew that the movement would never be the movement as it was, but then the things that we had lived and really fought for was one. >> i just want to do god's will, and he has allowed me to go up to the mountain. i've looked over and i've seen the promised land. i may not get there with you, but i want you to know tonight

that we as a people will get to the promised land. so i'm happy tonight. i'm not worried about anything. i'm not fearing any man. mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord. >> there were many kinds of sacrifices made for freedom. most liberation struggle is trying to bring about a better world and a better society. >> we had to give everything we had to the movement. we accepted a way of peace as a way of life to wear nonviolence as way of life, as a way of living. >> we forged an agenda in the mind of the country.

the movement begins with montgomery, becomes the sit-in campaign, the freedom ride, the birmingham campaign, the mississippi summer, the selma to montgomery march. >> history will record that those singular cumulative acts of courage transformed the south. transformed the country. >> we wanted to change america, make america better, not just for our generation, but for generation yet unborn. >> all of the civil rights, all the marches, all the people who have died in the civil rights struggle will have died in vain if once the opportunity, once
