in this during the civil rights movement of all. vietnam era. and saw the moon come on. we're going to turn the whole world around. what more can the world can't survive with with the scores going on and on no this has to happen it's power to be. there is a change in tide in america and you're part of it today we're sending a mandate from the people to the government of the united states and to the representatives of utah specially the utah does not support a war we support peace and we support a plan for. this morning to become real to the american people the military is a war america is not and then needs to change. to get them here because my my dad is a neat combat and the way they were affected him. made her. some. he says in violent childhood in my house and so i hope that this will be a place for some sense of unity about finding another way i see as being like gone he's. gone he's walking his walk to the sea this is a big deal i think it will call attention to the fact that a lot of people feel similar you know similarly the way he feels deep down inside but mayb

. >> the exhibition is to bring together the voices of a new generation chicana artists, all of whom reference the works of the civil-rights movement in their works, but they are also responding to a new cultural concerns and new cultural circumstances. >> the works in the show include a large canvas depicting a woman washing the beach with her hair at the u.s./mexican border. the painting encourages the viewer to engage with the current debates over immigration and the politics of women and labor. influenced by the campaigns of the chicano civil rights movement, this oakland artist is a print maker whose work has helped and sustainability with the immigrant community as well as other current sociopolitical issues. this print-based work draws on appropriated agricultural worker manuals and high fashion labels to satirically address class issues, cultural identities, and consumerism. >> angelica -- her father was an agricultural worker, so she has drawn a lot from the materials the agricultural department sends to agricultural workers, referencing the depiction of farm workers and some of the information about

civil rights movement and the vietnam war. civil rights movement was all activism. all. vietnam war-- strongly affected by it, strongly affected the outcome, strongly affected the length of that war. we know that now. we looked at this, and we said, "jeez, you know, nobody's looking at it as what it is." how did it get here? where did it-- nobody mandated, "there shall be benefits," you know? how did this come about? well, right away, you run into the name pete seeger. right away you run into woody guthrie. we--i asked david to research it, and david came back with, there is no other work written on this subject, and that was irresistible to us. you know, we feel very strongly about it. we knew we had an advantage if we went to speak to the people who do it, you know? i don't have to walk in cold. i'm not, you know--it's like, "how did you boys meet?" i know, you know, who i'm talking to, and generally, we're at least acquaintances if not close friends, and we're talking about events that we did together or that we've done, you know, separately, but the same event, you know, at different times. and it gave us a window into these people that other people didn't have. we a

recalls the history of the movement in atlanta and, of course, you all know that atlanta is a leading american city today, but it was also really importance during the civil rights movement because it was the home to leading civil rights organizations, including the southern christian leaders and the student organization, the student gun violence coordinating committee. so, what i would like to do is focus in particular on this and other ways of lawyers and accidents to contributed who are unsigned and contributed to the history of the movement. i take a bottom-up perspective on constitutional law. and what i would like to do this after a man is discuss three ways of unsung lawyers and activists who i argue in my book and treated to the civil rights movement in import waste. the first points i want to emphasize is that all of these dissenters, and i style these people as dissenters have the same overarching goal of equality. they had different priorities and tactics for achieving equality. in fact, they did find equality in different ways. the first way or pragmatists. i call them pragmatists because they wanted to challenge jim-crow, but without destroying the

complained that he wrote, and it is if you read it, a brilliant book on the history of the civil rights movement and all anybody wanted to know was about martin luther's life. what were the little men that were seen at roswell per the first chapter? can you comment on the ufo connection to area 51? what about the ufos and aliens? go for it, anni? [laughter] >> curious crowd. nobody wants to know about war weapons when there's little green men to talk about. first i want to talk about the sources because it's important to me and as a jowrntist. i interviewed a lot of men for this book. really, the largest number of men that have ever gone on record about area 51, and they all go on record using their names, and there's one exception, and that is the source that i write about in the last seven pages of any book that many people want to know about, and this source remains anonymous for reasons of safety and security and also because that program, the program that he discussed with me is not declassified per se, and it's an interesting distinction as a journalist to make between being able to source your so

of course, we all know that's not true. in the literature and as certainly throughout society, there's been a lot of talk since the civil rights movement and also some of the improvements that our people have experienced as a result of civil rights movement. more of us moving on up, having positions that we didn't have before. there's a question as to is the black community becoming polarized. in other words, as black people befan to have these positions and began to associate more so with other people, particularly whites in their close relationships, and in their attitudes and their values, perhaps even in the way they vote. are they becoming more -- at least middle class black people becoming more like whites than other black folks? and so this whole polarization argument is at the center of the research that we talked about. and one the things that we did, we looked at the american national election studies from 1986 to 2008, we wanted to be able to capture the phenomenon over time. and one the things that we found out that, well, there was some slight convergence. let me -- let's look behind the numbers. here's the irony. when you

we were then at the crest of the civil rights movement where people were re-examining the whole idea of authority and we had all these abuses of southern governors. we had just discovered that rivers were so dirty that they were catching on fire and water supplies were threatened. there were all these things that had been neglected and injustices that hadn't even been touched that we were discovering at the time that charles reich started writing his articles. it was in that context that he flowed forth with a new theory that would prevent these things from ever happening again. the problem was it dehumanized government, and it essentially tried to do away with the idea of authority, which in the context of a teacher trying to run a classroom is a very dangerous thing to do and has resulted in what we have today, which are inner-city schools which are completely out of control. c-span: in your bio in the back, you are involved in a lot of things in new york city including an officer of the new york city industrial development agency. what is that? >> guest: it's a corporate, it's just a way to try to get busine

of the coverage, almost relentlessly positive. >> good evening, we begin with breaking news tonight, possibly history in the making. >> this is where it all began in 1969 when riots sparked the civil rights movement gay rights movement. now we can tell now here in the village folks are celebrating. >> it's an historic day of celebration and controversy in the state of new york. late last night, new york became the sixth and the largest state in the union to allow same-sex marriage. >> reporter: new york grae pray comes ever june. >> dennis prager, host of a nationally syndicated radio show and john is joining us in the studio. most of the media gave this new york vote the equivalent of a standing ovation. >> whenever you have a political contest and one side wins they cover the victor. when obama run the election, they didn't do a series of, wow, he won the vote, what a bad guy. usually it's positive coverage. that's what happens. >> dennis prager, i think if you look at the media coverage in california when the same-sex marriage was defeated in the referendum, would you say the victors got the most positive coverage? >> of course not. exactly. it was problem hate and it was covered as prop hate

think he did raise some really, really important questions, but first of all historically his summation of the civil rights movement was oversimplified and beyond that he's just -- i mean, like, he's like one of the hippest and coolest people out there and i don't know when he decided to become an old man complaining about the kids today, but that's kind of what happened in that article. and now he's not going back. he's like -- people are like, haye, malcolm gladwell, what about egypt? what about tunisia? people are using facebook and twitter and ending dictatorships through these things. what do you think now? and he's like, i still think the same thing i thought before. i'm like, really, malcolm, because you're like -- i like your afro, but -- there's definitely valuable questions that he posed in that article but i think beyond that the reason why it's such a silly question, it's like saying, telephones are part of our lives, right? almost everyone here uses a phone in some way, a cell phone or a telephone, probably everyone here does. it just permanently changes everything. it's part of your life. evaluating w

civil rights movement in the 60s? >> i was involved in california. i was involved in the first fair housing, passing of the first fair housing law, run for fair housing act. >> when was that? >> in 1962. >> all involved with dr. king and others in civil rights movement in the 60s? >> no, sir, i was not. >> when did you become -- >> wait, wait, let me answer your question. >> when did you become a civil rights leader in your judgment? >> when i realize that many of those on your side of the aisle misappropriate that term and perverted it so it belonged to only certain people. >> when is that. >> when i was on the board of regence. i found that the university was giving points -- >> when is that? >> let me answer your question. when i found the university was giving extra points to certain people in order to achieve diversity and inclusion at the university of california. >> okay but you had no problem with people giving points to give contracts when you got a contract when your company is n a racial set aside contract for energy. >> get your facts right, reverend. >> did you not get three contracts. one of them for a million dollars sir? >> no. a california building officials, which is it one

it's the place where the lgbt civil rights movement was really born, and to have this state -- i don't meant to soupd so arrogant, but to have the center of the world do this, all eyes are on it. it will help propel this movement forward faster than any of the other states have. >> as we mentioned, come you go up at the bottom of the hour, those marriage ceremonies are set to start at the manhattan city clerk's office. this is a history-making day. new york, the state, the largest state in the union to approve same-sex marriages, and those marriages start today at the bottom of the hour. our coverage will continue. >>> i want to turn to norway where the healing is under way after friday's massacre. a memorial service just wrapped up in the capital of oslo. the death toll now at 93. police say the suspected, anders behring breivik, has confessed to the bombing in oslo and the shootings on utoya island at a youth camp. they are still looking for bodies both in oslo and on the island, and four people are still missing from the youth camp. >>> also, a short time ago police carried out what they are calling, quote, an operation in the eastern part of oslo. they say

reclaim our pride and make all right -- political rights of indigenous people to the point where we can and see a great social movement that rivals the women's movement, civilrights movement, environmental movement in american history and one of the reasons why we were able to do that with the american ma and what they call federal indian mob provided the legal framework for the social movement has resulted in the rise of moderate indian nations. what i wanted to study that body of law in my book because i does concern for that idea flawed because i think there's been a very troubling retreat, you know, from michael redd to the u.s. supreme court since 1985, you know, were indian nations have lost or 80% of their cases, you know, that come before the supreme court in some terms losing with an 80% of our cases, which means indian -- well, the prison inmates actually fare better or receive better treatment by the supreme court then our indian nations. so as a lifelong part tichenor of federal indian law, that troubled me and it's also as federal indian law that i was inspired as i always have been the notion suggested sort of a unique study of the law the for

civil rights movement was really born. and to have this to date and this city, which -- i don't mean to sound arrogant -- is the center of the world do this will mean allare upon it and i believe it will help move this forward more than any of the others have. >> tell me, ma'am, this is very personal for you. you have been with your partner at least a decade. do i have that right? >> yep. it will be ten years in september. >> it will be ten years in september. do you plan to get married? >> not today, but in the springtime, yeah. >> why not today for you? because i talked to a couple of couples, at least one couple yesterday, they said, you know what? we could have waited, we could have planned out a ceremony, but we wanted to be part of this historic day. you could have done that, as well. >> well, you know, as the city council speaker, i have the opportunity in a different way to be part of today. and we weren't sure how many people would get to go today so i didn't want to take a spot away from anybody else. and i also kind of want to have that party that we've been thinking of and waiting for for a long time. but you know, getting this bill passed

of money from proper bostonians. the early civil rights movement and environmental movement receive money from rich families. so there is a precedent there. but having said that, and there's only problems that we all recognize. i mean, ted thinks the world is collapsing. the oceans are collapsing. and what's happening in terms of the american empire is pretty startling from illegal constitutional viewpoint, political boomerang and everything else. so there so many problems, so many potential solutions. let me post what could have happened. in 2002 when george w. bush and dick cheney were beating the drums to invade iraq, there was about a nine-month window from the summer of 2002 to late march when the invasion occurred. george soros wrote against it. he spoke against it. he actually wrote a book against it. he gave interviews against it. on the other side, all that criticism were 300, and we were counting, former retired generals, admirals, leading diplomats, the head of the nsa, admirals, general zinni, the tg security advisers to the first bush, they wrote editorials. they wrote op-ed's. they gave interviews and they went back to their work. there was no infrastructure. i called george soros se

civil war to fight for the simple idea that no person should be able to own another one. this country went through a momentous women's rights movement that says more than one-half of all humanityestiny. this country went through labor movement. they used to say it was the restraint of trade and a labor union should have no rights. we won the right to organize on the job, and a union is a good thing. the right to organize, and basic human rights. we need you to tell the american people this, because there are some guys who want to control the message. they do not like the internet because they cannot control the message. they want to get us arguing among each other. liberty and justice for all is fine, but not so much those muslim people. not so much those gay people. not so much those labor union people. not so much those liberal, trade union people. not so much those people who want an america where all are included, where all or embraced and respected for who they are. you and i have to say no. the message is going to get through to the american people that we are not going to let this divide us or break us apart. we are not afraid of those fictitious sharia laws that they w
