$2-$3 million a day in this illicit oil trade. so lots of different kinds of revenue streams coming. then the traditional thing look you seize a town, you seize a village you make them pay tribute and you levy exorbitant taxes especially on non-muslims. you'll levy a tax on them as well. so multiple revenue streams without a doubt. can you wrap it up sarah? >> yeah. >> thank you. >> first of all, i can't thank you enough. >> thank you. thank all of you. >> and all of you, all of you for coming. eric stacking back is an incredible friend. he is the voice of intellectual courage and moral integrity and of the truth. i'm honored and privileged the to be his friend.

and other black leaders are saying when he's trying to organize poor people and critiques vietnam put forth with such power, he's betraying the movement he's un-american, he's a traitor to the country and so forth. so what does martin do? he says, you never i knew me. you never knew me. i'm called to love babies in vietnam, babies in appalachia, babies on the south side of chicago, in ethiopia. i'm a christian minister. for me justice is what love looks like in public just like p tenderness is what love feels like in private. there's no martin without ella baker, without stokley carmichael, without so many of the -- diane mark, we can go on -- diane nash, we can go on and on. >> talk about the santa clausification with respect to african-americans. because i think part of what you're describing is a kind of historical amnesia for the fact that dr. king was not always well loved within the black

community. and you cite a pretty remarkel -- remarkable poll from late in his life that says 55% of african-americans did not support dr. king on vietnam and ending poverty. and i think it was the ending poverty that caught me off guard. >> yes, yes. no, it's true, and it's very sad. you've got 72% of americans across the board, all color, and 55% of black people disapproving of martin. you remember what whitney young said to brother martin in terms of you're setting back the black freedom movement, and he said oh, what you said won't get you a foothold in the kingdom of truth. typical intra-struggle against black, within black leadership over where to go. see martin was saying corporations are not going to dictate what my conscious actually is. >> right. i know the difference between right and wrong. >> absolutely. and big money and all of the thrills and access to power are

not going to determine what i say. you see martin was like john coltrane man, he could have been doing my favorite things for the rest of his career and been a multi, multimillionaire. of he bringses in eric duffy young brothers we going to go free jazz. what's coltrane doing? being true to himself. well you see this is, to me, the real standard of what we need in this present moment. and so we got a lot of of black people, for example, who say they love martin luther king jr., and they talk about speaking truth to power, but they don't want to speak truth to the present power. >> uh-huh. >> yeah. they want to be in -- [inaudible] that's not brother martin. and there's nothing wrong with being accommodationist if you're honest about it and acknowledge what the limitations of it. but don't lie to yourself and act as if you're so prophetic. you've got to be honest and

candid about these things. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> you're watching booktv on c-span2, 48 hours of nonfiction books and authors every weekend. in this next event hosted by the landon foundation best selling author and mit professor noam chomsky discusses his latest book of essays focusing on u.s. foreign policy.
