university fisk university at the time john lewis attended in 1963 there to wish him was i think 545 dollars no 640 $5.00 something like that that translates into today's $1.00 and $5500.00 a year to wish it sell is $21000.00. so at the end that martin luther king jr is live he wasn't just arguing for 'd our for racial equality he was arguing against capitalism so when we see john lewis not stand up for something like free college education which would have but which would disproportionately benefit people in his district and all the black people in cities like alabama i mean is that he like atlanta oh we see this complicated dynamic where the legacy looms large and it shapes his actions in one way or shape his actions that one way but the legacy doesn't didn't quite shape his actions in another way professor i'm aware that i've kept you talking for such a long time and to apologize we're told that the. the cost gets that the horse drawn carriage is about 2 minutes away from the bridge now. so i'd appreciate it if you if you wouldn't mind just staying with us until we actually see. t

these inflation scenarios are always the thing the government starts running in larger and larger fiske. deficit's and then they have to call on the central banks in order to fund these deficits because simply taxes and bond financing mentors there are inadequate and not enough so they've got to fire up the printers again and the central bank then virtually has to fund basically the entire government fiscal operation so right now the lebanese pound has already lost over 80 percent of its value against the us dollar food and clothing so costs have surged almost 200 percent and the citizen savings in the banks are literally frozen the banks have no more dollars to exchange and have imposed very strict capital controls and strict withdrawal limits in order to avoid complete collapse which is really scary as a citizen because all of a sudden your life savings are basically in accessible and it's basically becoming increasingly worthless day by day so in these 2 regions you've actually seen massive flight to safety such as gold such as crypto currency as well as that has really started to sh

i met a fisk student who told me about a student from chicago who wanted to do something about thoseus signs. i said, "invite diane nash to the workshop in september, because we are going to do something about those signs." john lewis had no choice in the matter. you should understand that. because all the stories we've heard this morning of john becoming a preacher, preaching to the chickens and other sorts of things, becoming ordained as a baptist minister, something else was happening to john in those early years. john saw the malignancy of racism in troy, alabama. there formed in him a sensibility that he had to do something about it. he did not know what that was, but he was convinced that he was called, indeed, to do whatever he could do. get in good trouble, but stop the horror that so many folk live through and in in this country and that part of the 20th century john was not alone. martin king at the same experience as a boy. i had the same experience from age 4 in the streets of methyl in to ohio. matthew mccullen, a pastor whose name you don't know in south carolina, had t

>> well, i think that what makes heroes and saints great is their humanity, and my mom from fisk university in her days doing sit-ins and demonstrations knew john lewis personally, and it was his humanity that really spoke, but i learned coming to the senate that he shaped their lives more than he knew. my parents were denied housing in the suburbs of new jersey time and time again, turned around because of the color of their skin. one of the courageous lawyers who organized a sting operation where white couples posed as my parents to eventually buy the house that i grew up in. when i went back to interview him for my book i was just stunned and got chills when he told me he was sitting comfortably on his couch and saw the march on the edmund pettus bridge and was so shaken by it and had to get up out of the comfort of his house and what he did is offer pro bono work to that civil rights organization that got my parents n.john's courage shaped my life from the very inception and then to get to know him personally when we were both on the shelf defining if our roots with henry lewis gates an

as a student at fisk university, lewis graduated from lunch counter sit-ins and bus boycotts to freedom rider. as would become his habit, where john lewis put his heart, his head followed. that's him, bruised, bandaged after he and other riders were beaten, shedding blood and standing up when others could not or would not. that became lewis' calling card. >> we must cry. we all must cry together. we want our freedom and we want it now. >> reporter: by 1963 at the age of 23, alongside martin luther king jr., he was dubbed one of the big six leaders of the civil rights movement who helped plan the historic march on washington. >> my friends, let us not forget that we are involved in a serious social revolution. >> reporter: and on a high bridge in selma, one of the low moments of the entire civil rights movement, there out front, john lewis. 600 peaceful protesters crossed the edmund pettus bridge into the harsh heat of history. it would be known as bloody sunday. violence unleashed by alabama state troopers, lewis struck in the head, suffered a fractured skull. >> i was the first one to

i continue to study in nashville at american baptist marriott fisk university. but when i got elected to congress they had john lewis day in alabama. and the troy state university band led the parade. and that chancellor of the university heard i wanted to attend tri-state so he invited me to come down to the next graduation, and they gave me an honorary degree, so i have an honorary doctorate from tri-state university. i got it the easy way. [laughter] my goal tonight is to do what i can to help make our world a world of peace. that is a long struggle. to do what i can to help build the beloved community here and in america and around the world, a community at peace with itself. so i have spent a lot of time traveling around the country and visiting other parts of the world speaking about love, , nonviolence. >> hi, my name is rhonda and i am a junior at eastern senior high school in the academy. i know you say that you are supposed to keep going with what you're doing but was there any time in the 1960's as a civil rights leader that your fear made you stop or

was called negro education in alabama and then his mother 's side was she herself was a graduate of fiskf 52 got a degree in library science and worked as a librarian until she was 92. i debated whether or not she should retire then and decided she would. it was a very distinguished family when his father became president lincoln university lincoln was known as the black princeton at the time. his father was the first black president because surely the white people who ran the school didn't think there was any blacks who were good enough to preside over it. even though it was an all black student body. so you can imagine the politics of that and ducted bond was not withering persona. i know that there were difficulties everyone came, everyone who was anyone including albert einstein. he was invited to speak at every college campus in the united states and spoken very few but he made a point but he made a point to speak at lincoln. julian met him, well, he was a very small boy but the family lore what julian always told that albert einstein said to julian, don't memorize anything that's a

from his years as a student at fisk university, to his last days as one of the most influential members of congress. he didn't let bad actors, he didn't let people who were trying to do him harm or even cancer slow him down from his fight for equality until the very end. he led many members of congress on that march in selma. civil rights pilgrimage that i and my husband were honored to join him a couple of years ago. where we went to memphis and montgomery, birmingham, selma. he walked the talk and walked with us and shared with us the memories of that painful journey. for him and all of those students and all of the people that he led across that bridge. and he took our hands and we all walked together. he then later that year came to indianapolis where he was the keynote speaker, because our community celebrated the kennedy king memorial initiative becoming a national historic site. indianapolis was the site where senator robert kennedy informed our city that dr. martin luther king had been killed 50 years on that night, 50 years ago. it was in indianapolis in 1968 that i learned tha

he attended fisk university and organized sit-in demonstrations at segregated lunch counters in tennessee. in 1961 he started participating in freedom rides. he was just a young man. but he would get on board a segregated bus and he would dare to sit in the whites only area. just to make a simple statement that any person of any race should be able to sit anywhere they choose to sit in america and it be okay. he literally risked his life just riding on a bus in the wrong seat. he became best known in 1963 when he helped organize the march on washington. he was part of what they called the big six in the civil rights movement. it was nationally recognized and we lose track of the fact in 1963 when he was one of the keynote speakers in the march on washington, he stood in front of the lincoln memorial at 23 years old. his focus on nonviolent protests, his focus on training people on how to be able to speak out for what is just and for what was right, his focus on challenging people to rethink justice and to be able to see all people created in the image of god, all people equal was a messag

portland, these were department of homeland security employees so these were people who were used to fisking passengers at the airport. they weren't necessarily crime fighters. now bill barr is saying no, this go round, these are crime fighters and they're going to be focused on solving crime. what does that even look like in this landscape phillip? >> yeah, so ice agents they have a very narrow set of crimes that they're trying to solve and it's really the crime of being here without appropriate documentation. that doesn't translate to people who have engaged in violence in terms of on the street and it doesn't translate to crowd control at all. but one of the things that's mes terrifying to me about this along with the announcement is that we've seen attempts to move in this direction previously. this president has come out and tried to support law enforcement in a very perverse way of supporting the worst efforts and impulses of law enforcement and it hasn't translatsed into law enforcement supporting this president in the way he had hoped. he tried to use the military to go take a photo

i was a student at fisk university and he was at the american baptist theological seminary. in fact, i met c.t. vivian at the same time. he was at the baptist seminary also and we met at workshops that reverend james lawson was conducting. lawson had been to india and had studied gandhi's movement firsthand and he was in nashville, a student himself at the time and he was instructing people in the community or -- and students, anyone who wanted to learn, really, in the philosophy and strategy of nonviolence. i am a fortunate, blessed person to have had both of these gentlemen in my life. not only as coworkers in the civil rights movement, but as friends also. they have -- i think we can -- while we are sad and experiencing loss, i am just so grateful that they came this way because the world is a different place since each of them lived. and it's much better. >> yeah. what do you -- what do you make of the -- you know, there are people who are coming out on the other side of the aisle that are praising john lewis, but the fact that, you know, he bled for the voting rights ac

fiske rey, let's see if we can put a deal together. that's what's happening here. >> phil, before we let you go, there's been a whole state of spacs recently >> yes. >> do you think if this company tried to go public on its own that the public would have accepted it? we have the biggest spac deal, this multi-plan health care deal, 1$11 billion you know your space so well, what do you think is driving that transaction >> oh, i think it's the excitement over pure electric vehicles if fisker would have tried to come out three months ago, not in a spac deal, would not have gone anywhere. nicola for years, they were trying to find a deal where they could go public and they were struggling until the deal was put together so what you're seeing here, andrew, really is i think the market as well as investors saying, now, wait, this is a good way for us to get into the pure play electric vehicle invest share. look, they don't have a vehicle right now at fisker. they're not going to have one until 2022 they have a steep hill to climb. i bet you y
