>> nevertheless, if mccarthy, kennedy amassed enough delegates through the primary process, they might be able to put pressure on the democratic machinery. >> and the may 7th primary is critical to the kennedy strategy of demonstrating to party leaders across the country that he is the one democratic candidate who can win big. >> indiana can decide who is going to be the nominee for the democratic party and therefore, who is going to be the next president of the united states. >> mccarthy couldn't get any black vote. bobby kennedy managed to get black vote and also get a lot of the established democrats. so his support looked very broad. >> well, senator robert kennedy has won the first primary test in his attempt to secure the democratic nomination for the presidency. >> my father really focused on the people in this country. his appeal was to really the most disenfranchised classes, people who lived in appalachia, blacks who lived in the delta, people from harlem, watts, oakland, and of course farm

workers. very similar to martin luther king focusing on the poor and working people. >> in the aftermath of dr. king's assassination, it's coretta scott king who has the legacy of her husband to draw upon to make the case that change was needed now. >> my husband always said that if anything happened to him to carry on his work for his people. >> coretta was always an activist. before martin was an activist. and she continued to be outspoken in order to make the point that you can kill my husband, but this movement is going to go on. >> we have seen the power of nonviolence in the movement for civil rights. the campaign for the poor must go on. >> king's notion was to try to put pressure on congress to try

to do something about the issue of poverty. he was proposing, to use modern terms, an occupy movement on the national mall, not for a day or two, but to stay. >> i declare this to be the site our new city, resurrection city usa. >> as dr. king had dreamed, they built a shanty town to expose the nation's shame. they call it resurrection city and it sits on the lawn besides the reflecting pool at the lincoln memorial. >> we come here for one purpose and we don't intend to leave here until we conquer what we came for. >> this is a cbs news special report. peace talks in paris, the very first step. >> the very first step did begin today in paris. it was about as small as it could be. all of the problems attendant to a meeting of sovereign enemies were present -- who sits where,

what language do you talk in, what do you agree to argue about? >> there were tremendous expectations on the american side about these talks. when the delegation first arrived, they just took hotel rooms because they thought, well, this is only going to be a few weeks and then we'll get a negotiated settlement. >> the president is disappointed that the north vietnamese today were unwilling to discuss anything of substance. >> and then after a while, they had to rent apartments because it was going to drag on a lot longer than they thought. >> it is already saturday in vietnam, and the latest communist offensive is now in its sixth day. it may be that the communists are trying to remind the negotiators that the vietcong must have a seat at the conference table when the future of vietnam is discussed. >> well, it's a real horse race out in oregon, and in that democratic primary there that could mean so much to the presidential hopes of senator robert kennedy and senator eugene mccarthy, it's too close,

a cbs news estimate says, to call. senator kennedy did make clear over the weekend that the outcome in oregon he felt was crucial to his hopes for the nomination. >> i can't lose. i mean, i can't afford to lose if i'm going to remain a very viable candidate. >> oregon was just as bad a state as you could imagine for bobby. very few minorities, very suburban, middle class, was progressive but kind of polite, and he never clicked there. >> oregon was a mccarthy victory. we were certainly feeling euphoric that night. >> every wagon train got as far as the missouri river, but the real test began once you crossed the missouri and started up the oregon trail. and now, of course, we're on to california. >> the shockwave is spreading slowly through this kennedy election headquarters. the only word adequate to describe the result appears to be catastrophic. >> kennedy had lost.

what you saw on display is something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough, which is bobby's humor. >> based on the return by taking an entirely new look at my whole organization and my whole campaign is in order, which i've done, and i've decided to send my dog freckles home. >> the oregon primary was the first time a kennedy has ever lost an election. bobby kennedy knew he had to go into california and he had to win. hey it's me, lily from at&t. i'm back working from home and here to help. hey lily, i'm hearing a lot about 5g. should i be getting excited? depends. are you gonna want faster speeds? i will. more reliability? oh, also yes. better response times? definitely. are you gonna be making sourdough bread? oh, is that 5g related?
