ah, the ah, top story, this our, as the international economic form and st. petersburg comes to an end. the speakers have included. let me approach anyone else plans to develop a vaccine tourism industry. both our country is being destroyed before our very eyes. former us president donald trump last the bad news ministration, saying america being demeaned humiliated. morale is ruling between the u. k and france. about the number of illegal migrants coming across the channel into britain with u. k. calling for asylum seekers to be sent back. those are headlines this hour. i'll be back in an hour with another look. you're watching our team to national stay with us. the

news i'm action returns here we're going underground. nursing the stories buried by the mainstream media can be able to show the daughter and the reverend doctor martin luther king junior, bernice kings weeks going underground about racial justice and economic violence. and the american history of systemic white supremacy that you don't see in the history books a year after the police murder of george floyd and a century since that tells the rates massacre has led to the destruction of so called black wolf street. one of the worst single acts of racial violence in us history told us more coming up in today's going underground at 1st. this week marks 100 years since the tools are race massacre with a so called wall street,

the wealthiest black community in the united states and the time was destroyed by state sanction, mobs. it is now known as one of the single worst incidents of racial violence, of 20th century american history. it's arguably emblematic of all of reverend doctor martin luther king junior. 3 evils of racism, economic exploitation, and militarism. well, joining me now from atlanta, the daughter of reverend king, who's now the ceo of the martin luther king junior center for non violent social change. when he, thanks so much for coming on the show. it was apparently july 28, 960 that your dad went to talk to greenwood avenues 1st. baptist church. i mean, why do you think it's only now 100 years after that? we even and certainly the world has even heard of this black wolf street, historically as it relates to incidences. and as well as contributions of african american, african americans, it's been kind of hit me and under the table. and it's only been in recent years

when there's been such a, a force of the young people who really demanded more trunk than asked the side more honesty that these kind of things have been you know, coming to the surface. and you know, i think it's a travesty that we are just knowing the full history of it. i mean, some of us were aware of it, but i just think there's a greater consciousness now around issues of race that hasn't been there in previous years because i don't think we have made it consistent issue through the generation. i mean, to me, believe in the american dream perhaps is more disturbing because it may say to some people, but even when african americans rise up or entrepreneurial make businesses, they are killed, murdered, and there has a and businesses. well,

that's the reason my father them fascinated when he started talking about economic justice and how militarism was undermining the war on poverty is when he became a threat to our nation in a stablish status quo. so yes, you know, at the end of the day, i won't just say the united states of america, but i would say that there is a serious issue with black people across the world, whatever country he found it. and we've got to deal with that face to face. why is it that we've created the, the systems and structures, or should i say, why is it that people find the need to reduce other people in order for them to feel significant and powerful? and to keep power to themselves. so that's something that we've been with

in this world. that's what racism is. the belief that there are appear here in an area ration the people specifically the black people are inferior. and so we've got to confront bad head on and we're not going to back down and talking about white supremacy and the need for it to be dismantled when deconstructed and the need for creating more equitable systems and structures, countries and outcomes. we've talk about divide and rule on this show quite, quite a bit. i, i got to tell you that i think the editor of the show might say that i think i had an argument many years ago with her, with ignorance, about the different legacies of malcolm x and martin luther king junior. and as you just said, your father talked about militarism, and that may will be the reason that he was assassinated. where,

where did this emerge? this idea that somehow you have to take a side between malcolm x or your father? well, i mean, it emerged in the movement. i mean, there were people who clearly felt like my father was more passive and malcolm was more aggressive and they made an issue of that. and you know that particularly generational typically occurred as my father get older, which really wasn't that only 39 when you fascinated but into the sixty's. when he started turning into asperity, there were 18 in college and everything didn't. you know, there was a very serious disappointment that there was not greater progress, especially on the economic front. and so, because math was more in the chicago, people gravitated toward that message because he was speaking about, you know,

self empowerment. and it was more appealing to that generation or young people. and so that's where some of the provide as well as, you know, the media would get to against the job. and there were things that were said by malcolm himself directly against non violence. so people began to see them as polar opposite. and we all know that in 1960 map, with the meta said there was a turning around of how he saw the white race. because he saw people with blue, with white skin in meta worshipping along with him. and so he began to change his perspective on white people in general and came back and you know, he and my father intersected briefly. i think that was 64 when with but briefly

at the signing of the civil rights at. and so i think there was a fear that the 2 would begin to merge and know suddenly malcolm is gone. well, i don't think anyone has heard beyond vietnam time to break the silence to anyone who could think that wasn't radical. did it, did it suit because i know you said that people perhaps don't remember your mum as, as much as they should. did it help your mother help campaign that people didn't know the vietnam speech as well? my mother was a piece advocate before she met my father and she was the main person. there were others, but she was the main person there. really encouraged him to speak out against the war in vietnam publicly. she said, martin, you know, we may, jo, voice in the peace movement. we need your moral authority. and i think her,

you know, trying to persuade him is what ultimately gave him the stress to do it because natalie was not courageous, but it was a risky step for him to take many friends betrayed him. many of those in the civil rights movement attacked him in the farm, the best c, l. c. started to dry up the organisation that he was president. that was, you know, leading the movement and saw because of her, her passion and understanding of the power of his words and his speech. she she began and before he knew, fascinated looking for way to preserve the papers because she felt future generation needed to understand the work that they were involved in an understand

his teaching. so ultimately, when he was fascinated, you know, she prayed and she felt that god was calling her to create this center. the martin team. jimmy set up a non ballot supposed to change the foundation of it, where the came papers and she went around the world after the assassination, literally around the world. with her book to my life, martin became junior. she started in the world and came back to the united states of america because she wanted people to know the pure math is in the teaching of back to martin that became junior. and that began her crusade of developing what i call this some people call it a the largest social change brand in the world. but the architect became began to become the architect of the king legacy. and then she started, you know, talking to the governors and mayors,

commissioners here in the states about setting saw inside the king holiday in january, his birthday is a holiday. so battle county got to 1983 when the holiday actions we're finding law . there are already many states celebrating the king how they many city celebrating the king holiday. because she, she made all the red killed, her whole life was about the work that they were doing. and she always felt that the word and the teachings of martin luther king junior would be financial for future generations in their quest to create a adjust humane, equitable, and peaceful world. and i think she did a tremendous job for one person to help. obviously, for one person who violently love her husband and decided to turn all of that pay, you know,

into partners. and that's why i comically we have martin with the king. you can read about pain, but we wouldn't be talking today. i really don't think we would because it was a part of her. it wasn't like, oh my, i lost my husband. what do i need to do now? it was ok. i lost my husband. we were partners in this work together. i have to continue moving forward and making sure that everything that we stood for and everything that he taught us and that he embody, continues in that. and that's what she did. i mean, some credit that vietnam speech with inspiring so many anti war activists and ending wars, i don't know how many millions may have been saved. is of suddenly the exit air from vietnam and from southeast asia. do you think many americans know about that? and what do you feel about the fact that you're saying it was that speech? it was that entrance into talking about foreign policy that had your phone.

i don't think it was just speaking against the war. i think it was tying it to economic that we had diverting font to take human lives rather than investing on to in rich and live people. because president johnson the call was poverty, but nothing was happening. you know, and so here you have the black soldier going fighting side by side for the freedom of america, but they come back home and then they go to segregated community. so he started identify these inconsistency and then became problematic for this for this mission and the power structure. is it problematic now to make those connections? oh yeah. i mean if you make those kind of connection, sometimes people think you're not patriarch. and very few people make those connections, but when you look at it today beyond war,

let's talk about what's happening, you know, across the world. and in particular, what has been highlighted in animation with police brutality. you know, many of all police forces have to come military when you look at the way that they, you know, are coming into the street, the face of protest. it's a lack of warranty. and in many instances, there are people progress and they've had the faith, militaristic officer. and so, you know, people are talking about it more, but i think what people are not doing is say, look, i'm the terry industrial complex is fine. but somewhere at about $50.00 to $6.00 more protecting out. and we only spend about to strip on health care $0.02 on health and wellness to maybe 2 or less on education.

and so we've got to deal with this issue in our country because we have become more we become more focused on might then more morality. and that's what my dad was talking about, that american needed to repent and needed to begin to really have a revolution of values that people need to be at the center. not pain, because oftentimes, what the wars are about in the day when you pull back the curtain, it is about power control and resort. and that's what got them in trouble bernice king. we're going to take a break that more from the ceo of the montana to king junior said of an oven and social change up to this break. ah,

an entire village in alaska has had to move. if another country threaten the wipe out in america. we do everything in our part, a project in water, they escaping climate change poses the same threat. right now alaska has seen some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world. we lost about 3535 feet of ground in just about 3 months. while we were measuring it is bad and that means the river is 35 pounds, then limiting was years or, or they were part of america, the 3rd from or america worse me the

news the welcome back. i'm still here with the daughter of the late reverend doctor martin luther king junior beneath king 100 years since the tulsa race massacre near liberals. when i say view, things have changed a lot since the days, of course, in the days of your father's struggles after all, derrick drove in the police officer has been convicted for killing george floyd. i understand that he's now file the court submission, asking for probation, saying he's just the product of a broken system. he could be an asset to the community. what do you make of that submission? the prosecution, there was demanding $3030.00 a love every attorney and going to represent the flying. so i'm not upset with him. it's unrealistic. i do not think the sitting judge is going to give him

back. so i'm not gonna even give it any energy because, you know, it doesn't deserve it. he deserves to get the highest possible because, you know, he, he took a human life and he did it so you know, cynically and with, without any sense of remorse at all. and so, you know, he's one person meaning just because he was convicted and whatever someone is going to get them in like this is been happening over and over again. i've been recording that coming for the even before the happened, the george board and things that are happening right after yours. so we're dealing with the fact that yes, things have changed. now going to say that all my life,

i think jane, of course things have changed. you know, we've seen a large influx of, of black leg is official. there are many african americans who are now part of the middle class and a few that are wealthy. there are people who can, you know, forge genuine, is friendship across race. when that was their dangerous back, especially in the south, back in the 5060, you know, they're more black americans going to college and, and david and lation nature. but at the end of the day, as my father said, the true challenge now that he will speak of the 1965, the voting rights that is working toward genia when equality. and that's where people began to cower. and that's where people begin to bow, desolate, didn't begin to, you know, making excuses. and that's what we're facing now. as

a nation, people do not want to pay the ultimate price to do away with racial equity. and yet we're going to have to face that and we're going to have to pay the supply and make the sacrifice in this nation. and until the majority of white america is truly committed to the dismantling of racism, which is called continue in the struggle and fight. because we're not going to accept systems and struggle trust structures and practices and policies that continue to show outcome where black for at the bottom in the light as it can be. i want to get to the goal for reparations in the work of the be love campaign in a 2nd, but it was another thing that is change. so certain liberals say is that they will black people in positions of power and they have been in recent years. who, what is your father mean when he said at the time back it back then he said to the

majority of black political leaders do not send to prominence on the shoulders of mass support. most of selected by whites, elevated by whites. is that error over or are there still people in positions of a degree of power who aren't living up to the values of martin luther king junior? we call the token is ensuring that there's one person that represent a particular group that called minority. so that's token is and some of them feel the case in this nation. in many regard, when we look at our corporate board when, when we look at the ceo of fortune 500 company, still white majority white male. and still this kind of beer, opening the door and,

and ensuring that other people are elevated so that there's equity. we have a long way to know. you know, i just think there is a great fear of being replace and be displayed by white males in america. i think that's why we have a lot of backlash in this country. we have a responsibility though. i'm going to say to make sure that as we look at a new way forward that we don't create the same outcome and results. and as have been previous has been period where now you created the same effect, but now white male, i left out and left by. we can't do that. we have to create a, a beloved community where all people and the talents are respected and

regard. and there is, there is equity, there is fairness, there is sharing all of those kind of thing. and so, you know, but again, it's not going to happen until we change our values. and my heart was very prophetic when, when he encouraged 67 in his book, where do we go from there? chaos, a community that we much rapidly began the shift or my thing oriented society to a person instead of society as part of the revolution about. and he also said we must begin to shift our loyalty from being sectional. or in other words, from being group oriented from being, you know, aligned and only loyal to your, you know, that the group that you identify with. whether that be from a national nation standpoint, whether there be from a racial stamp,

one or religious standpoint, to becoming more ecumenical, that there must be an old variety, a loyalty to humanity. and until we have that value system where that's at the front of our mind when we implemented policy, when we are putting in place practices, when we are engaging each other, i think we're still in the with the same outcome which is black is going to continue to be at the bottom, brian and well, and we'll just make a little incremental span. i think you said the tranquilizing drug of gradualism is how we put up. but americans and people in britain actually were about to have a photo id. voter law may be coming here and it's, and your foundation obviously, is committed to no violence. how can you think of the democratic change if voters

suppression, which is what's been alleged in the united states and even here seems to be gathering momentum. yeah, that's the backlash that i was talking about. anytime there's a step forward, there's always this backlash to push you to step back. and so the momentum is then we have to continue to push for we had to continue to organize. we had to continue to mobilize, we had to continue to strategize. that's what daddy and them did. i mean, when they went through the montgomery movement set back, they had pushed back, but they had the re, gabby sales. and i think the challenge we have here in this mission is the people of good will at the find the way to coordinate and collaborate and move together. and the syncopated way to deal with the both the suppression issue. i try to get into all of the different issues around, you know, sunday voting, you know,

ballad box, etc. those are all important. but the most egregious part of these pieces of legislation are the provisions that allow the governor and even the state legislatures to come in and remove local election gord from power. and they make decisions, which means they can go in and overturn elections best bang us. no matter what party you a part of because it can create some in the f one you can create, you know, you know, can fraud and all kinds of stuff. and so that's what we have to be concerned about . and that's why so many losses have been filed against many of these pieces of legislation and why it's important that we focus all of adkins and non getting this . federal legislation passed. john lewis, voter advancement and the, the for the people in caught in the senate. now,

so many people calling for our president now vice president comma are taking on their responsibility at his request to, to, to in the syllabus. because this is the heart and soul of democracy voting. and now they have controversial histories, of course, as a former prosecutor and massive conservation. just finally, i mean, your cooling for reparations and very cool. reparations from colonial former colonial powers here in western europe for what government have done to people of color over over centuries. i mean, do you think that reflects what your father said about the crucial dimension of economics? i mean, he said that in the much for jobs, he said, abraham lincoln read call marks. and he quoted ok, see in babylon, ruder famous communist poets is economics crucial to all of this?

and how successful have you been in this call for reparations? yes, the struggle. i mean there are many people calling for. we know we had people testifying on capitol hill ford. my bad actually said if you've done something against the people at that time for 100 years, then you must turn around and do something for those 2. and so i just said in though he didn't directly you going reparations, he would say that there has to be a form of reparation. it didn't call our country anything to desegregate in kaufman . and yet, there is a great debt that is owed, as indicated in his i have a dream speak to the black community for the years of exploitation about labor. and, you know, frankly, rick,

weighing in the main ways of getting labor and here and gaining well in this nation who, slavery and then everything we talked about. we, you know, we can, you know, going about our business, and then you still trying to assure you. and take things from and we're not doing anything. and so there is a debt and when you have debt on your balance sheet, you have to clear it up. and it's time for, you know, nations of the world where this kind of exploitation has taken play to clear up the debt to go. and i mean, those december of those 2 were exported marginalized shield treated in you mainly in this world police king. thank you. thank you. as the show will be back on monday for more detail on the financing declarations of the leak from a us funded lab in china may be responsible for getting millions of people around the world in the past 12 months until then. we talked about social media, tell us

a few things. your button can live up to the dream. and martin luther king had for america. ah ah, no look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with him and a robot must protect its own existence with.
