a time of heightened racial tension in the u.s. mourners lined the street to honor the late congressman a recording of the late civil rights icon was played one last time for his fellow role make his. noble hate. live in peace. deal 1. 1 people i want to thank you very much. the words he granted the world to read by. i'm joined now for more by did abuse the sea devin's good morning to you stacey varney you've been following the commemorations inside the retard 1st for us began his his career as a baptist pastor he was a stalwart of the civil rights movement that's right who started out in the early sixty's risking his life bodily harm to try to bring equality to all americans and this is one of the reasons why he was so beloved because he was genuine and his

love for human for other humans and he was determined i mean arrested 40 times as an activist 5 times as a congressman never gave up because he felt like america needed to live up to its promise and to have a more perfect union and so this is why he's so beloved that even though he faced racism state sanctioned brutality various forms of white supremacy he never saw the years away from his message of love and he never veered away from this message of nonviolent civil disobedience which he referred to as good trouble decision of message for america right now when we see the country so divided so unable to speak with a common voice on so many issues right now do you think that was a person who would have been able to bridge this difficult divide america seen right well i think he's proven that he could do i mean he has he's been in congress

for over 30 years as i said he's was an activist and he was essential and bringing the voters' rights act on the civil rights act. and opening up a world to african-americans like me who would have had the life that we have if it was not for him and when you look at how he was honored in the rotunda nancy pelosi the speaker saying that he was beloved and reviewers across party lines. and it's an image already leader mitch mcconnell also talking about his great character you see how he was able to touch people from different parties and it wasn't just a political thing i think that what's really powerful about who this man is is the fact that people on the street still follow his example decades after he was beaten and arrested of nonviolence of standing up exactly exactly what you know characters so important you mention that as part of his legacy what i was using will be part

of that large i think part of his legacy is the black left matter movement there's no surprise that his his casket was stopped on black last matter boulevard that's a strong signal that he supports this movement and that he was really hardened by the diversity of people black white latino asian native american all coming together with one voice across the country i think that this is his legacy i think that people like me are his legacy i mean i come my family comes from the deep south mississippi and my mom's brothers and sisters would tell me stories about walking and seeing black people hanging from trees about being chased verbal e assaulted and being afraid to look a white person in the eye like i'm doing with you right now there was a fear of what could happen to them coming forward yeah so half a century know exactly and we have him to thank for this and this is part of his legacy and it's an ongoing journey to be used as above it's been snowing so very
