be marching here this afternoon to demand justice for jacob. this morning, newly obtained video appears to show 17-year-old kyle rittenhouse being chased by at least one man after the teen allegedly fired on demonstrators killing two and injuring another. rittenhouse's attorney saying his client feared for his life and had no choice but to fire multiple rounds towards his immediate attackers. according to a criminal complaint, rittenhouse faces charges of homicide and possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor. in this video a man appearing to be joseph rosenbaum, allegedly rittenhouse's first victim, is seen prior to the shooting confronting armed men out of frame. richie mcginnis, the daily ca call caller's chief rittenhouse shortly before his alleged confrontation with

we've covered stories like eric garner, tamir rice, this year, george floyd, breonna taylor and others. marchers saying those names represent what mlk spoke out on steps from here 57 years ago. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: they came from all over, thousands braving high heat, covid temperature checks, and wearing masks. retracing steps around the lincoln memorial where dr. martin luther king jr. once shared his dream with the country. criminal justice reform at the heart of friday's movement. >> demonstration without legislation will not lead to change. >> reporter: and then this. >> i just want to thank everybody who's been in support of getting justice for breonna taylor. >> i wish george were here to see this right now. >> reporter: family members of breonna taylor and george floyd emotional, taking the stage. jacob blake's father speaking too. this group walking all the way

from milwaukee to washington, 800 miles over 24 days. >> we've been called every name you can possibly think, every racial epithet you can think. >> if people are willing to come out here in masks, this is an indication only a small fraction of all the polls will be. >> reporter: sheila brewington grew up in the era of martin luther king jr. >> i hear emotion in your voice. >> yes. >> this hits home for you. > you know, those things don't leave you when you're a black child. >> reporter: friday she had her little ones with her, also this man with a sign that said, my grandma marched on washington in the '60s. i'm marching so that my grandkids won't have to. while the names of specific candidates rarely got mentioned yesterday, vice presidential nominee kamala harris did deliver a video address. the head of the dnc telling me the takeaway is for people to vote. janai? >> thank you so much. joining us now is global human rights activist martin

luther king iii. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> so yesterday it was remarkable seeing you speak to that massive crowd in the same spot where your father gave his famous "i have a dream" speech 57 years ago. what did that mean to you? >> you know, what i thought about more than anything else was while there were eight or ten families that we knew the names because they were high profile, i thought more than anything else about how many new cases i learned about that we've never heard about and so how tragic these incidents are around police brutality and misconduct. that was not the first time, however, that i've done an anniversary march, so i've been there before and every time i stand in that spot, i almost feel like my father is speaking through me. >> and you've called on people to pursue your father's vision of equality. how do you feel that we can best do that? >> well, i think, number one,

there are three or four things that we are in a sense demanding around two pieces of legislation. there's a george floyd legislation that has been passed in the house. there's a john lewis voter registration restoration act that has passed in the house. the senate, it has not even been taken up and so people are demanding, we're demanding that mitch mcconnell at least have a vote on these issues. and the other thing is that we're encouraging people all over the nation to register to strategize to organize and to vote. there's nothing more important than this election. usually in anniversary years we haven't had an election but because of the anniversary of the election this year, it makes it a little unique. >> and all summer long we have seen people taking to the streets, thousands of protestors out there yesterday. there's so much emotion, so much anger and anguish. what is your message to those

protesters this morning? >> there's nothing wrong with anger. it's how you channel it. not one incident occurred yesterday. there are times when people are rioting and looting. that wasn't happening so i'm not really sure. i think when you talk about the anger it's how you choose to channel your anger. people have a legitimate right to be angry and obviously should be angry but it's channeling that anger into a positive energy and using it to vote because if we vote in large numbers, we will change the conduct of this nation. unfortunately the president chooses to create division. we need unity and we need candidates that personify that. >> i want to ask you about that. the president calling protesters thugs and anarchists saying they don't even know who george floyd is. how do you respond to that? >> the president says things every day that just aren't true. there could be some individuals like that, but the overwhelming large majority of demonstrators generally are protesting

peacefully. but my father used to say a riot is the language of the unheard and so he never condoned violence, but he understood why people were pushed to that position and i look at it in this way, you know, in kenosha, wisconsin, people were not rioting before mr. blake was shot. so no one says anything about the conduct that created the action. every action creates a reaction and, yes, no one wants to see violence, but at some point we have to say, okay, we're not going to blame people. we're going to address the conduct. when we treat people with dignity and respect people respond differently. >> you are continuing the calls your father started so long ago. thank you so much for joining us this morning. eva, over to you. >> turning now to a dire situation in parts of louisiana where hurricane laura tore a path of destruction. at least 14 deaths are now blamed on the storm. rob is in lake charles where the struggle to restore basic

utilities could take weeks or even longer. good morning, rob. >> hey, good morning, eva. to give you an idea of how dire the situation is here, officials aren't even giving a timeline as to when power and water will come back online here. they're saying if you're a resident you can come in and look but then you got to leave, a look and leave. if you're going to stay, you're going to have to deal without those basic necessities until further notice. one of the hospitals yesterday evacuated all their patients because of just that. the national guard now starting to come in along with heavy equipment because cleanup is unimaginable. rebuilding will take years. this morning, new video showing destruction from one of the hardest hit areas of hurricane laura. 14 people dead. at least seven dying of carbon monoxide poisoning while using generators after the storm. the strongest hurricane winds to hit this part of louisiana in over 160 years leaving behind a trail of destruction. here inside the basketball arena

at mcneese state university, they have new windows compliments of hurricane laura. so much damage across this campus including the telephone poles that slammed down onto the street that runs through it. homes and businesses left in shambles. the storm ripping through vicki huber's newly renovated bridal shop. 7,000 gowns left exposed to the elements. >> we've worked our whole life to get to this point. this is what's left of it. >> how are you holding up? >> i have strong faith. that's what's going to get me through this. >> reporter: outside we discovered joseph darjan walking gingerly home from the hospital. >> how long is the walk from the hospital to your house? >> ooh. that's a walk. >> reporter: it was over two miles so we drove him home. he had ridden out the storm to care for his ailing wife but had a medical emergency himself. take a look at these chilling before and after images showing the scope of the devastation, entire neighborhoods wiped off the map.

that gentleman, mr. joseph, his apartment is still intact but no water or power so we're going to try to get him a lift out of town into baton rouge or new orleans later today. that woman you saw so emotional, vicki, she has that wedding boutique but she also has a wedding space. this is where she conducts weddings. this is the event space. this is the dance hall right here collapsed in. so she lost that, this and the retirement home that she and her husband were building south of town. that's gone too. heartbreaking stuff and there's a lot of stories like that unfortunately across southwest louisiana. a lot of the moisture is heading east so everybody getting a piece of this across the carolinas, mid-atlantic, that front kind of squeezing all this action to the east coast and with a little heating through the day today some of the storms that it triggers could be severe. damage be winds, maybe a tornado or two south of philadelphia, storms all the way north to albany and eventually out so sea and then we'll be done with

laura. but we are just ramping up into the height of hurricane season sadly, so there are two more disturbances in the atlantic that will be heading across the west and we'll be tracking those, no doubt about that, on this, the so yes, today is the 15th anniversary of hurricane katrina. you know what it did to mississippi and southeast louisiana. hurricane rita, a few weeks later that same year, hit here. now this is the storm of record,

hurricane laura leaving a permanent scar here in louisiana. guys? >> we'll be talking to you in the next half-hour. before we go on this half hour want to tell you about a very happy birthday for iris westman, she's 115. she's america's second oldest person. the whole town of northwood, north dakota turned out for an outdoor parade style party for her. a nevada lab confirms the first covid-19 reinfection in the u.s. that's coming up.

half hour with a major headline on the coronavirus. a lab in nevada confirming the first case of a person in the u.s. becoming reinfected. abc's trevor ault has more on what doctors are saying about the implications here. trevor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. this is a rare phenomenon but it's certainly something people who have already fought through covid-19 have been worried about and with the u.s. now fast approaching 6 million confirmed cases, this could have significant implications for our future of living with this virus. this morning, a startling confirmation, the first known case of reinfection of covid-19 in the u.s. >> the important message is that if you've had this virus and you had a response to it that it doesn't mean you can't get it again. >> reporter: a patient in nevada tested positive in april, recovered, then tested positive again 48 days later. >> the only things that we know work, distancing, wearing masks,

washing your hands, those things all protect you. and they still are important even if you've been infected. >> reporter: and the cdc is now facing explosive blowback after they updated guidelines to say asymptomatic americans don't necessarily need to be tested even if they were exposed. two groups representing thousands of local health departments are now demanding a reversal calling the change haphazard and saying it cost lives and livelihoods and impacts the standing of health officials across the country. meanwhile, california is scrapping its re-opening plan. >> we're going to be more stubborn this time and have a mandatory wait time between moves. >> reporter: los angeles law enforcement announcing charges against tiktok stars bryce hall and blake gray for allegedly hosting massive hollywood hills house parties. >> in the middle of a public health crisis, you should be modeling great behavior. >> reporter: and colleges continue to report surging

numbers. indiana university is now ordering 2,600 students from eight greek houses to quarantine following what the university called an alarming increase in cases, and at the university of notre dame, this week, in-person learning is set to resume. >> the virus hit us harder and more swiftly than we expected. >> reporter: here in new york city, the union representing school principals and administrators is blasting the city's plan to re-open for blended in-person learning september 10th. they say that plan is indefensible and the need to teach both in-person and online is going to create a staffing crisis. eva. >> trevor, thank you. joining us now from connecticut is dr. todd ellerin, an abc news medical contributor and infectious diseases physician. good morning to you, dr. ellerin. you just saw in trevor's report a nevada lab confirmed the first coronavirus reinfection here in the u.s. what does that mean for us and what does that mean for a vaccine if this virus is mutating?

>> good morning, eva. first off, i want to just, you know, comfort people in saying that we expected this. we know from the family of coronaviruses that cause the common cold people get reinfected. the more concerning part of this is that this patient was reinfected less than two months later and had more severe disease. the hope is with reinfection because we have memory immune cells that most reinfections will have less severe disease. that remains to be seen. what this underscores is the importance for labs not only to be able to identify covid-19 but to also be able to sequence the virus so we can tell whether there truly is reinfection or just persistence of old infection. the other point that was made in the story is that we can't feel like we're invincible after we get infected. we have to continue the basic infection prevention measures of

distancing, masking and hand washing. >> let's talk -- >> as far as the vaccine is concerned, this is a single case. you know, the more mutations, the more genetic diversity, the more challenging it will be for a single type of vaccine to be able to be the only one that we receive, but right now, remember, over 6 million patients have been infected and reinfection seems like a rare event at least at this point. >> let's talk about testing. earlier this week the cdc said people who have been exposed to the virus do not necessarily need to get tested if they are not showing symptoms. local health departments are saying not so fast, calling the cdc recs haphazard and bad policy. these are two very different messages for people. what should people know? >> as an infectious disease expert this change in guidance was very surprising. remember, we know that presymptomatic infection can be highly contagious, and we know that we have a thousand deaths a day in the united states and

tens of thousands of cases going on on a daily basis. we need to test more, not less. now, remember the cdc did say that, you know, anyone can be tested but you want to talk to your provider first. i would say most importantly anyone who is exposed to someone who's positive needs to be tested. that shouldn't change. >> all right. dr. todd ellerin, we appreciate your time as always, thank you for being with us this morning. janai. all right, now it's time to get over to rob marciano in lake charles, louisiana, where, rob, you've been showing us the incredible damage left behind there. >> yeah, they got hit hard with the pandemic so this is a one-two punch for sure and yesterday on top of all of that it rained much of the day as they started their first full day of cleanup and recovery. certainly insult to injury. this wasn't the only place that had bad weather yesterday. i want to take to you connecticut, this town, north bradford got hit hard with a severe thunderstorm tearing down trees and power lines, at one point 90% of the town was

without power so that is intense stuff there. also a tornado reported out of mississippi. that is just unreal, power flashes and the whole thing. tornado out of mississippi, this associated with the leftovers of hurricane laura which is moving into the northeast as we mentioned today and this front behind it kind of stalls and we'll see rounds of severe weather across parts of oklahoma, northern arkansas including little rock, maybe getting into memphis as well, damaging winds, a couple of tornados and a lot of heavy rain because this front just sits there. so four to seven inches of rainfall in some spots. that's going to be enough certainly to do flooding so that's on our radar right now. >> this weather report sponsored

by geico. one of many insurance companies that will be busy here in south louisiana this week. guys, back up to you. >> incredibly tough there. thanks again, rob, really appreciate it. coming up here on "gma," nba players head back to the court. the agreements reached on promoting social justice and the overall impact on the sports world from everything that's been going on here. and voice from the next generation. dr. martin luther king jr.'s granddaughter makes an impression at the march on washington. and geico loves helping riders get to where they're going, so to help even more, geico is giving new and current customers a fifteen percent credit on their motorcycle policies with the geico giveback. and because we're committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. the geico giveback. helping riders focus on the road ahead.
