want to go down that extremist road. and all this talk about shutting down the government to shut down planned parenthood just makes them all the more willing to go for a democratic candidate, but let's keep fighting. >> chris van hollen, thank you for your time tonight. michael eric dyson. "politicsnation" with the reverend al sharpton starts right now. right now on "politicsnation," breaking news, a reporter and photographer killed on live tv. the gunman, a former co-worker who allegedly had a grudge. also in 2016 politics, can republicans stop donald trump? and finding faith ten years after katrina. i'll talk to a reverend of a church from the lower ninth ward who's holding services in his living room. we start with breaking news

in virginia. three people shot at point blank range on live tv. the shocking ambush killed a young reporter and photographer and injured the woman they were interviewing. viewers at home could hear the gun shots ring out in the middle of that interview, and the gunman, vester flanagan, posted his own video of the shooting on social media. we will not show you the actual video, but this is an image from what he shot. it shows just how close he got to the victims. the sheriff says this case is incredibly personal. >> it was extremely difficult this morning. i actual did a remote with miss parker and adam about three weeks ago when our schools opened up here. like many viewers, i was watching this morning's broadcast and couldn't understand really what was happening myself at that time.

>> investigators say flanagan used the name bryce williams as a news reporter. he worked at the same tv station as the victim before being fired in 2013. virginia state police say just hours after the shooting, state troopers tried to pull him over and he drove north. about a mile and a half later, his car crashed. state police say when troopers walked up to the car, they realized he shot himself. he died later at the hospital. we have a panel of experts to talk about this shooting, but we start in moneta, virginia, with msnbc's adam rice. we understand the shooter was on social media during the manhunt. >> reverend, good evening, that's right. he was actually tweeting as he was making his get-away. he talked about alison parker, the reporter here who was killed, that she had made some

comments toward him that he felt were offensive, maybe even racist. that adam ward the cameraman had gone to hr to complain about him after only one incident. and he posted the video of him coming up behind them, ambushing them, they didn't even know that he was standing behind them and then he opened fire. we're also learning about the last day of work for him at the roanoke station where he worked. they were going to fire him. he got angry, he was throwing things around. they had to herd some of the employees into separate rooms because they were concerned about their safety. they finally called the police and he was finally escorted out after he calmed down. i want to read to you part of this letter that he sent to abc news. a 23-page letter, some called a suicide note to friends and family. it says in part, quote, the church shooting was the tipping point. but my anger has been building

steadily. i've been a human powder keg for a while, just waiting to go boom. finally reverend, we're hearing from alison parker's mother. obviously the family is shocked. they said that alison loved her job. she loved contributing to the community here. they're just in complete shock. they said, this is a crazy world. you just never think it's going to happen to your own family. >> adam, thank you for your reporting tonight. again, the gunman shot three people, as one of them survived, vicki gardner, works at the local chamber of commerce. she was being interviewed when the shooting happened. the hospital treating her says she had surgery and is recovering now. the reporter, alison parker, was 24 years old. she had just moved in with her boyfriend, an anchor at the same tv station. he tweeted today, she was the most radiant woman i have ever met and for some reason, she

loved me back. she loved her family, her parents, and her brother. adam ward was 27 and graduated from virginia tech. he was engaged to a producer he worked with, and one report says she was in the control room when the shooting happened. today was supposed to be her last day at the station as she left for a new job. both parker and ward are both being remembered as fun-loving, hard-working, caring people. it begs the question, how could someone do this? i want to turn to former fbi profiler clint van zandt, dr. errol sothers and retired cheap deputy u.s. marshall matthew fog. thank you all for being here. >> thank you, reverend. >> i want to start with posts the shooter made to social media after the shooting.

there's even video of the shooting itself from his perspective. have you ever heard of anything like this? >> well, reverend, first, i'd like to offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victims of this tragic act. and no, it would seem that this individual has put this at a new level. it's interesting that his 23-page suicide note, manifesto, he talks about the virginia tech shooting, even the columbine shooting in 1999, almost idolizing them. but the fact that he would post this information and particularly videotape this attack brings it to an interesting and new level. almost seems as if he was trying to be a copycat, but at the same time, he was trying to achieve a new level of media awareness, if you will, for himself. >> clint, as a former profiler, what do these kinds of posts tell us about flanagan?

>> well, we know this guy comes from the media. so it would be natural for him, in his challenged mind, to turn to the media to express his so-called grievances. and we have these guys, al, they collect grievances. you've reported on them for years. they go out in the world, they collect grievances, true, untrue, we don't know. the grievances change to an obsession and there's this tipping point. and he's astute enough to identify his own tipping point, which of course was the june 17th church shooting. that was, for him, enough to allow him to buy a gun and then to take action. so he's moving on this continuum to act out and it's been two years since he was fired, two years since these two

individuals could have done him any wrong, but again, as another guest on television said, he had to watch their success and in reality, his failure, i think this contributed to the volatility that we saw today. >> you know, someone who called themselves bryce williams in a lone fax to abc news, saying he put a down payment on a gun right after the charleston church shooting. he also says, quote, the church shooting was the tipping point, but my anger has been building steadily. i've been a human powder keg for a while, just waiting to go boom. what are investigators looking for in this so-called manifesto, matthew? >> i think they're looking for the motive as to why, maybe how this incident, maybe what started with him long ago, whether it was a race incident, and whether everything that we're talking about, the fact that he made the comment about

the incident that occurred in south carolina, all of this, i think they're looking at to try to see if there's a motive, a way they can determine these incidents that are happening by these folks that are vigilante lone wolves, but at the same time, they have a motive to go out and try to correct things, when really, doing it this way, it's just not the answer. normally, they take their lives. so the bottom line, it seems like an end product. there's no way out. i think if probably we could look at these incidents. i'm in orlando right now, with an organization called blacks in government. we've been looking at these trends and trying to understand it. it's a situation where we got to begin to see what's happening here in situations like this. do they really want to go this far, and is there a way we can stop it? >> well, let me ask this, clint, or any of you, how were they able to identify this gunman so quickly? because it seemed like they

right away identified him. how did that happen? >> yeah, we were fortunate in that two things took place. number one, the cameraman who was murdered, appeared to have caught a picture of the shooter that obviously the station would have looked at immediately, and number two, of course, this was someone who had been forcibly removed two years ago, so people in the station would remember him. so i would think the individuals working for that tv station identified the picture very quickly. law enforcement, once they had a name, they could put it to a vehicle. they could identify a rental car. they could start trapping his phone lines. they could do certain things with a rental vehicle to track that. the technology is out there, al. all law enforcement needs is a name or something to get off first base and they can find the shooter in a case like this. >> dr. sothers, there's a lot of questions tonight about how much planning went into this shooting. listen to the sheriff today.

>> that is a question that we are looking into. did he know before this morning that they would be located at this remote location doing a broadcast? did he see it aired that morning, this morning, as many people were watching? >> how investigators going to figure out how much planning went into this? >> well, one of the things we have to keep in mind, reverend, he's a former employee. he understands how these broadcasts are scheduled. he knows where people may be. he's a person who certainly understands the domain space. so they'll be looking now to see if, in fact, there were periods of time where he perhaps stalked them, sur veiled them, set up on them previously before today even. and i would imagine that he obviously had planned this out. he knew where they were going to be. but how he knew and exactly what he knew will tomorrow. we'll probably find out this is not the first time he had been in an area where they had been

broadcasting, but for some reason, as he said, the tipping point was reached today and he decided to act. >> matthew, they're searching his home. what do you think they're looking for? >> well, i think, again, they're looking for any documentation, anything that would indicate why he was upset, what his motives were, if he had planned this thing early on, if he said anything, wrote anything down, if he had any more weapons in the home, any explosives, anything that would indicate that he had planned to harm someone and to try to get a feel for this guy, to get an understanding. but you think this incident is going to change a lot of things, especially in the news world. the fact is, even if you go to the news stations, it's high security. so when you have a person that was on the inside, walked up to these people on the street and just started shooting at them, that's different. that's a whole different trend here that i think is going to open up. >> it's very frightening and

with it all going on in the world, here's another new kind of tragedy that only adds to the general feeling of what's going on in the world, to all of us, it's unbelievable. and again, i join you all in our sympathy and prayers to all of the families of the deceased. >> that's right. >> matthew fog, thank you for your time tonight. clint van zandt and dr. errol sothers, stay with me. when we return, we'll look at the history of vester flanagan, known as bryce williams. later, we'll shift to politics. is it really possible that trump could be the republican presidential nominee? also ahead, moving forward ten years after katrina, we'll talk to a minister whose church still hasn't been rebuilt. so he's holding sunday services

in his living room. why do so many people choose aleve? rand more doctors recommend for minor arthritis pain. plus, just two aleve can last all day. you'd need 6 tylenol arthritis to do that.

we're following reaction to the breaking news from outside roanoke verge. reporter alison parker and photographer adam ward killed on air during an interview this morning. earlier today, white house press secretary josh earnest weighed in. >> obviously the thoughts and prayers of everybody here at the white house are with the families of those who were injured or killed in that terrible incident. this is another example of gun violence that is becoming all too common in communities large and small, all across the united states. >> virginia governor terry mcauliffe released a statement that said in part, quote, we

cannot rest until we have done whatever it takes to rid our society of preventable gun violence that results in tragedies like the one we are enduring today. and former congresswoman gabby giffords tweeted, horrified to hear that two young journalists were shot and killed doing the job they loved. praying for the wdbj family. we'll be back with more in a moment. at with the eighth grade girls. but your jansport backpack is permission to park it wherever you please. hey. that's that new gear feeling. this week, these folders just one cent. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great.

they don't worry if something's possible. they just do it. at sears optical, we're committed to bringing them eyewear that works as hard as they do. right now, buy one pair and get another free. quality eyewear for doers. sears optical back to our breaking news, two journalists shot to death live on television in virginia. we're learning more about the

shooter. vester flanagan had an apparent troubling work history, one that may point to a motive in this shooting. today the general manager of wdbj addressed the history candidly on the air. >> vester was an unhappy man. he quickly, um, became -- gathered a reputation as someone who was difficult to work with. he was sort of looking out for people to say things that he could take offense to. and eventually, after many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him. and he did not take that well. we had to call the police to escort him from the building. >> it wasn't just wdbj where flanagan faced these problems.

flanagan had also previously clashed with another local tv station in florida. flanagan was let go from tallahassee tv station wtwc in march of 2000. after working there one year. flanagan then filed discrimination charges against the station. the station denied race had anything to do with his dismissal. but to point here to his performance and his behavior as well as budgetary reasons, they said. the case was settled out of court in 2001 for an undisclosed sum. what can vester flanagan's past tell us about what led to the shootings this morning? and could it have been prevented? back with me now, former fbi profiler clint van zandt and former fbi agent dr. erroll southers. clint, what does his employment history tell us about what kind of person vester flanagan was? >> well, this is a man who

appears to have had employment personality challenges for a number of years, as you say, al, this dates back to at least 2001. we're talking almost 15 years that there were issues going on. these are only the ones we've heard about. but i, like you, have heard both stations, one an nbc affiliate and one out of virginia, both say they conducted an investigation, had others conduct an investigation and they couldn't hang anything on his allegations whatsoever to support that. but the three of us sitting here right now, as well as all your viewers, we know people who want to be victims. i don't care if they're white, black, whatever color, race, creed they are, that they want to explain their challenges in life by someone else doing something to them, as opposed to them not meeting the challenge in life. that's just like cho, the

shooter at virginia tech, who looked out the window on that fateful day and held everybody on campus, students, professors, everyone, responsible for his own failures. and he picked up the gun, just like this individual did, believing that violence somehow can be a form of conflict resolution. obviously that doesn't work. but with 310 million guns in america, we are going to continue to see people try to resolve their conflicts at the tip of a gun. >> dr. southers, in the lawsuit flanagan filed against the tallahassee station, he alleges that he was, quote, called a monkey by a producer, that a supervisor said that blacks are lazy and do not take advantage of free money. the station denies these charges are true. are investigators going to look at this lawsuit for clues into what happened in virginia? >> well, undoubtedly they will, reverend. they'll look at this lawsuit.

they'll look at the previous employment that he had. he makes allegations throughout his career, as clint mentioned, about being racially harassed, sexually harassed. he points out in his 23-page suicide note that he was being ostracized for being a gay black man. and also as clint points out, an individual who cites mass shooters as being victims and he picks up a weapon to address his issues. what's also interesting, you see the things that have happened to him in the way of employment being terminated and other issues. unfortunately, these are the kinds of issues that would not raise to the level of being entered in a database should he go out and in effect apply to buy a firearm as he did. so even though he's been terminated once before, even though he's been a troubled and almost, we've heard, a violent employee, it's not something that would preclude him from

buying a firearm legally in this country. >> now, one man who says he and the suspect grew up together as kids talked about flanagan's character. watch this. >> i heard about the people who got shot. then it came up later on and i recognized it's vester. my neighbor from across the street, the little boy, we grew up together. i'm older than he is, but i'm no shock right now. i'm devastated. i don't know what to say. he's not the kind of monster, not the one i knew. evidently something snapped in his mind. i don't know. >> did he ever have any anger issues? >> no, the total opposite. he was very demur. i don't know what happened. >> is it possible that something could have happened to make him snap, clint? >> well, number one, al, i don't believe people snap. i think there's a build-up that goes on. and realize this individual who is being interviewed, he speaks

of the shooter. he speaks of the known killer when he was a boy. if there was some mental health issues, personality issues and things, these likely developed later in life. so i'm positive he's accurately portraying the young man he knew without benefit of this guy and later life, dealing unsuccessfully with all of the challenges that he had. >> you know, a man claiming dr. southers to be bryce williams, sent a 23-page document to a local abc station, prior to the shooting, in which he referenced the virginia tech and the columbine shootings. he also said, quote, yes, it will sound like i am angry. i am. and i have every right to be. but when i leave this earth, the only emotion i want to feel is peace. what can we learn about someone who would say something like this? >> well, what's interesting about that, again, he's pointing

to suspects in mass shootings who, like himself, claim to be victims, choose violence as the course of action in the pursuit of peace, and it seems somewhat ironic. but there's a copycat nature to what's happened here, with regard to what he chose to do, mentioning them in a 23-page suicide note is awfully telling. but also the fact that he talks about this tipping point, about this shooting in south carolina being a tipping point, that he actually calls dylan rough out, where he said, if he wants a race war, then bring it on. that doesn't sound like a man who wants peace to me. it sounds like a man who has challenges, life is complex, it's not working out the way he'd like it to be, and he's decided now he's going to go after the people most recently responsible for the spiral of the demise of his life. >> clint van zandt and dr.

erroll southers, thank you both for your time. >> thank you. ahead we turn to 2016 politics and republicans today grappling with problems posed by donald trump's campaign. also, faith after katrina. i'll talk to a reverend who's held services in his living room, after his church was devastated by the storm. can you spot the difference? the wind farm on the right was created using digital models and real world location-based specs that taught it how to follow the wind. so while the ones on the left are waiting, the ones on the right are pulling power out of thin air. pretty impressive, huh? now, two things that are exactly the same have have never been more different. ge software. get connected. get insights. get optimized. when you're not confident you have complete

are republicans like marco rubio in denial about the power of donald trump? today after one of trump's most shocking moments yet on the campaign trail, senator rubio says trump won't win the nomination. >> ultimately the republican party will reach out to all voters, based on who our nominee is, and i don't believe donald trump will be our nominee. i think our nominee is going to be someone that embraces the future, that understands the opportunities before us, that is optimistic, but realistic about the challenges before us. >> but is that just wishful thinking? his prediction comes a day after trump lashed out at a well-known latino journalist at a press conference. >> excuse me, sit down, you weren't called. sit down. sit down. go ahead. >> i have the right to ask a question. >> no, you don't. you haven't been called. >> i have a right to ask a question. >> go back to univision.

>> you cannot deport 11 million -- >> trump security then removed univision's jorge ramos and he was removed from the event. he was later let back in. but this morning trump was still attacking him. >> he was totally out of line last night. i was asking and being asked a question from another reporter. i would have gotten to him very quickly, and he stood up and started ranting and raving like a mad man and frankly, he was out of line. and most people, most newspaper reports said i handled it very well. he was totally absolutely out of line. >> could any other candidate get away with attacking reporters like this? probably not but it might only help trump with his base. just days ago, one prominent republican pollster came away stunned after talking to trump supporters, saying, quote, it's

totally conceivable that trump will be the nominee. this is real. and my legs are shaking. and the republican leadership, they need to wake up. marco rubio says trump won't get the nomination. is he right? or does he need to wake up too? joining me now are maria theresa kumar and john nichols. john, are republicans just realizing how serious the trump threat is? >> i think they're slowly beginning to realize it. you've seen a little bit of pushback from jeb bush. he's trying in some ways to challenge trump. you're seeing even a little more messaging there from rubio. but i do not believe, reverend, that they're up to speed on it yet, because i don't think they understand the extent to which a lot of their base doesn't like the republican leadership. and so when trump goes further and further to more extreme positions, instead of harming

himself, as i think yesterday should have, i do think he may be right, he's helping himself with some of that base. >> maria, if any other candidate kicked a journalist out of an event like that, they'd be in huge trouble. what do you think, will it hurt trump? >> well, that's the thing, this is an american journalist that happened to be latino that was pulled out of a press conference. i can't remember the last time that ever happened. the fact that there's not more outrage and pushback -- >> even from other journalists. >> from other journalists, exactly. they're allowing trump to set a precedent of who's going to answer what questions and to their liking. you don't want a manufactured election where you have press conferences that prevetted. that's not good for anybody, especially the american people. i think what trump does, though, it provides him. lacking policy, it allows him to have a space of looking tough, but being a bully. i don't know how far that will go with the exception of gavel annizing an extreme base.

he'll get republicans who are more moderate saying, i don't want this person to be my candidate. >> but when you look at it, john, he's banned "the des moines register" from his press conferences because he didn't like him. now he goes after jorge ramos, even though he let him come back in. isn't this a dangerous precedent where candidates decide who can attend the press conferences while they're running for president of the united states? >> sure. we shouldn't underestimate the push and pull with fox news as well. this is a lot of media outlets that donald trump has been in fights with, or wrestling matches with. it's clearly a part of his shtick -- >> the fact that he can decide who's allowed in the room to question him, that's a little beyond fighting and going back and forth. all of us can fight with people in the media, but if you're having an open press conference

and you're running for president, is it fair to say, you can select who can be in the room? >> i think it's very troubling, reverend. and let me take it one step further. what he was saying about jorge ramos was incredibly troubling. he was literally claiming that this very well established, highly regarded journalist was ranting like a mad man. he was claiming he was yelling and screaming. you can look at the video and see what wasn't happening. that the questions were being asked in a relatively calm and respectful way. and when a candidate for president sees a respected journalist being removed from the room, being ejected from the room, and that candidate doesn't say, hey, take your hands off that guy -- >> that's different. >> -- that's a bad scene. >> fundamentally, it looks like he's a thug, that he doesn't want to answer the tough

questions. what we want is someone who can. at least answer the tough questions. that's what the american people are looking for. >> first he tried to say, he wasn't clear on who ramos was. then he told him to go back to univision. so did you know him, did you tell him to go back to univision? you can't have it both ways. >> and for every single latino and our allies who heard, go back to univision, basically saying this is not our country. jorge ramos is basically american. we heard the dog whistle, and i think that will hurt the republican party. someone has to start standing up to trump and saying, this is not acceptable for a dialogue of disenfranchising the second largest population in america. >> let me ask you, john about

"the washington post" article. an article says, if republicans had simp leel held votes on immigration reform in 2013, or in early 2014, it probably would have passed. that likely would have made it harder for trumpism to take hold to the degree that it has so far. did the gop create their own trump problem, john? >> well, of course. there's no question that the republican party which had leaders who actually recognized the need to get your head around the immigration issue right after the 2012 election, who talked openly about the importance of it, and then just did not move on this thing. the fact of the matter is that this is a party that has tried to play both sides of this issue, tried to say they care about immigration reform, but yet also accepted a wing or at least a portion of the party that is militantly opposed to

showing basic respect for immigrants to this country. and i think they have created a gap into which donald trump has walked. and i will add one other thing, reverend. keep an eye on what some of these other things are doing. instead of denouncing trump, they are walking with him into that void. >> okay, but in following that up directly, maria, we look at the fact jeb bush is doing a little more to take trump on today, listen to him. >> this guy is now the front-runner. he should be held to account just like me. he should be asked, as he was yesterday, how are you going to pay for it? go through these questions and what you'll find is, this guy doesn't have a plan. he's appealing to people's angst and anger. >> is this a good strategy for bush, or will it backfire, maria? >> one, they're good sound bites. i wish he had done it in the middle of the summer when all this non-sense started.

it's hateful language and we need more leadership. i think the fact that even marco rubio is trying to thread and tell the republican party, the future lies through the latino vote and through having frank and honest conversations is right. but they're doing it too late. the more they get the whole leadership behind them, the stronger we'll be. but right now, there's no one pushing against donald trump's message. >> maria theresa kumar and john nichols, thank you both for your time tonight. >> thank you. still ahead, remembering a trail blazer in the civil rights movement who i was lucky enough to spend time with earlier this year. and his church ruined in hurricane katrina, now ten years later, a minister from the ninth ward still has hope and faith. and he's sharing it with others. . 96% of them are doing rain-fed agriculture. they're all competing with each other; they're all making very low margins,

making enough to survive, but not enough to get out of poverty. so kickstart designs low cost irrigation pumps enabling them to grow high value crops throughout the year so you can make a lot of money. it's all very well to have a whole lot of small innovations, but unless we can scale it up enough to where we are talking about millions of farmers, we're not going to solve their biggest challenge. this is precisely where the kind of finance that citi is giving us, is enabling us to scale up on a much more rapid pace. when we talk to the farmers and ask them what's the most important thing. first of all they say we can feed our families. secondly, we can send our children to school. it's really that first step that allows them to get out of poverty and most importantly have money left over to plan for the future they want. it's the brand more doctorsose recommend for minor arthritis pain. plus, just two aleve can last all day.

>> we're looking back this week at the ten years since hurricane katrina. it's hard to forget these striking images of the lower ninth ward of new orleans. a mostly low income african american neighborhood where many residents didn't have the means to rebuild. ten years later, mt. neebo bible baptist church in the ninth ward still stands empty as they raise funds to complete a new building.

in the meantime, the reverend holds sunday morning services in his family's living room. >> he was an old creature, but he said -- >> his ninth ward home became a house of worship and it is to this very day, the living room turned sanctuary on sunday, folding chairs assembled in rows like pews. his wife is the music director and worship leader at the church where sunday services stretch into afternoon fellowship. congregation has about 50 members now, a fraction of what it had before the storm. >> what does the future hold for a small congregation on flood street in the ninth ward. joining me now the reverend charles dupe lessis .

>> thank you for having me. >> what do you remember from the days and weeks following katrina? >> we returned to our city in november. when we got to the church, we were taken to the church, our engineer went in, but he wouldn't allow us in. but when he saw it, our hearts just sank. >> how did your faith guide you during those challenging days? >> we were in tuskegee, alabama, where we had evacuated to and we were in the conference center and one of the ladies at the desk asks us, were we going back. my wife and i answered almost simultaneously that we were. we believe god was sending us back, even if nobody came back,

we wanted to share the word of good and help rebuild our community. >> how did you come to the decision to hold church services in your home? >> again, we weren't able to get back into our home until 2009, with help of the mennonite disaster service and a church in illinois and many volunteers. we were coming in once a month for a meeting with a group called churches supporting churches started by dr. c.t. vivian and dr. dwight webster. one of the members asked me, pastor, when you going to have service again? and i said next week at your house. so we started having services at her home. when our home was completed in 2009, we started having services there each sunday. >> well, what challenges do you still face in rebuilding your church? >> finances mostly. we've had help from the fleiss moore community church in

illinois, the mennonite church and now we're working with the premiere foundation in flies more to help with the funds we need to complete the structure, so we can go back into our community and do a greater work. >> new orleans is a deeply religious city. what kind of role has religion played in healing the big easy in the past ten years, reverend? >> we've seen how the church and the community has come together to revitalize our community. we've seen how men and women of faith have garnered their strength in god and in each other and helping to restore and rebuild our community. >> what kind of changes have you seen in the lower ninth ward and what work still needs to be done? >> well, we've seen some good changes with homes being rebuilt, families returning. we just had our community center

re-open, the fire station that was closed and the firemen who were in trailers for nine years, finally got a station. we see businesses not coming back like they should. we had a ground-breaking for cbs, one of the major corporations to come back to our city. and we're looking forward to others coming back. we have one grocery store on the north side. the young man who did it spent his life savings to do it. but we have a lot of struggles still in the lower ninth ward. >> if people wanted to help rebuild mount neebo, how do they do that? >> they can go to our website and the premiere foundation and we have a go fund me site also. >> your website mount neebo is? >> it's mount neebo bible baptist church no dot biz. >> reverend, thanks so much for

that's where at&t can help. at at&t we monitor our network traffic so we can see things others can't. mitigating risks across your business. leaving you free to focus on what matters most. tonight we mark the passing of a civil rights icon. amelia boynton robinson died today at the age of 104. all her life she blazed new trails. in 1964, she became the first woman to run on a democratic ticket in alabama. and the first black woman to run for congress in the state. the next year, she helped lead the march across the edmund pettus bridge in what came to be known as bloody sunday. she was left beaten and

unconscious in this picture which brought attention to the movement. recently her story was featured in the film "selma." earlier this year, alabama first elected black congresswoman, terri sewell invited boynton robinson to be her guest at the state of the union. before the president's speech, she talked to me about her hopes for a new generation of activists fighting discrimination. >> they are americans and to act like it, to work like it and to demand that every segment of discrimination be torn away from this tcountry that is supposed o be the land of the free, the home of the brave. >> in march, i was honored to walk across the edmund pettus

bridge with miss boynton robinson and the president to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the selma march. today her son said the fight for civil rights was her life's purpose. when you look at a life spanning over a century, and a life that did so much for so many for so long, it challenges all of us to not only uphold what she and others gave their life for. but to stop making excuses based on what age or stage we are in life. she used every moment to make the nation and world better. she never complained about she was in her 80s, 90s, over 100, she kept going and she kept a movement going. and she kept her country getting better. god blessed amelia boynton

robinson with a long life and she blessed us with a live of service. thanks for watching.
