william rufus king was born in 1786. he was a transplant from north carolina who helped found the city of selma, alabama. a sketch of the plantation called chestnut hill is pictured on the right. he attended college at the university of north carolina chapel hill although he did not graduate. he was elected to the u.s. house of representatives in 1810 as a jeffersonian democrat, a group we call the democratic republicans. he held a lifelong disdain for the national bank, opposed tariffs, and supported the work 1812. next elected to the senate from alabama in 1819 he believed the state's rights, greater access to public lands at the expense of the native american peoples, and making a profit planting cotton at the expense of enslaved african americans. his commitment to the racial hierarchy of the slaveholding south marked him as a political moderate. first lifelong loyalty to the party and to balance the ticket, he was selected as the vice presidential running mate. indied from tuberculosis april 1853 having barely serve

with king gone, buchanan continued his close connection, especially to king's niece.atherine ellis. in 1860, he hosted prince albert edwards an heir to the british , throne, during the american visit. in a touching moment in transatlantic friendship, buchanan traveled with the young prince to mount vernon to pay their respects at the tomb of george washington. in this portrait from the smithsonian american art museum, we see harriet lane holding a parasol and catherine ellis wearing a black shawl with her back to the viewer. both of whom stand to the left of president buchanan and prince albert edward. here again, the hidden piece of visual evidence proved critical to find the continuing connections with the family of william rufus king. thinking back on buchanan's failure as president, i began to wonder how his relationship with king and other southerners may have played a part. d heident buchanan meddle should not have. was an intrusion of the executive branch into the affairs of the judicial branch. his insistence the campus -- kansas territory be admitted to the u

when we think about doctor king, doctor king talked about loving one's enemies. the larger concept to doctor king was the idea of using nonviolent civil disobedience to coerce the united states into citizenship, full citizenship for african-americans and all people, by 64 they try to understand the language, what malcolm at times ignored was part of king's rhetoric that made president kennedy and lyndon johnson very uncomfortable. talking about radical structural transformation and not just reform, and ask about the assassination bus when we think about where we are in the context of george floyd, sandra bland, one thing you see from malcolm and martin is they realize the control justice system even in the context of the 1950s and 60s was a gateway to panoramic injustice. we need a radical transformation of not just criminal justice but the way the criminal justice system interfaces with all democratic institutions and that goes from public spaces where people are being surveilled in terms of housing, that goes for public schools that are pipelined to corrections

the king has only just died. with your mistress as your proclaimed king, well, what more can i say? >> the gravity of his role as the new constitutional king seems to pass edward completely by. >> you get the feeling that really, he is kind of liberated. now his father is gone. he can do exactly what he wants. >> he spends most of every week planning lunches and dinners and weekends at ft. belvedere or buying costly presents and jewels for wallace. a playboy king. >> edward's reliance on mrs. simpson grows. he neglects his official duties. he doesn't do the things that he's supposed to be doing. he doesn't do his job. so far his affair with mrs. simpson has been successfully kept from the public. but edward's passion for wallace is becoming all consuming. >> edward should be meeting and greeting his ministers, looking through state papers and signing off laws. and yet he lets things slide. >> edward charters a yacht to go around the mediterranean for a few days. >> edward thinks he is off duty. he can behave as a

thailand's king is facing his biggest challenge since ascending to the throne 4 years ago pro-democracy protesters are demanding curbs on his powers and they also want the prime minister a formal army general to resign the demonstrations are largely student led and have spread across thailand in recent months dozens were arrested or injured in rallies that took place in the last few days so what are the protesters main concerns about the time on a cape they accuse the king of moving beyond his role of a constitutional monarch which has been the law since 1932 they oppose his move to take personal control of tens of billions of dollars in crown assets the protesters also want to change it broadly worded laws that threaten anyone who criticizes the role family with up to 15 years in jail activists also complain the king spends much of his time in europe mainly in germany will bring in our guests in just a moment but 1st tiny change has this update from bangkok. this is the spot on friday where the thai government appeared to draw a line under their indulgent attitude towards student prote

king in 1967.et's listen. the language of the unheard. what is it america that has failed to hear? it has failed to hear the plate of the new growth has worsened over -- of the negro has worsened. it has failed to hear the promise of freedom and justice has not been met. that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality and humidity. our riots are caused by our nation's records of delay. as long as america postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. susan: as we close, what should americans today pick about the legacy of these two men? prof. joseph: i think they offer the chance of looking at our last generational opportunity to transform american democracy, to end institutionalized racism, to defeat white supremacy. for a few years, the united states was on that path. that opportunity receded and the country went in a different direction. the importance of

>> king had more to lose. i think that king understood the fact that-- and malcolm says red-- coletta scott king where he meets her shortly before his death in selma, he had just spoken at to td so he send selma and he-- doctor king is in jail and he tells her that i'm not here to hurt the movement. i admire your husband. i'm here to help him and he's talking those white folks to know that unless they give king what he wants there will be other forces he has to deal with so between them the meeting would not have helped king in that historical context. king needs to be someone who is perceived by the mainstream and someone who can negotiate with kennedy, who can negotiate with lyndon johnson. .. he comes to see he has to go for broke and talk about the death and breadth of racism and white supremacy and that's why there's more meetings with lyndon johnson and lyndon johnson does not show up at his funeral. all the celebrities of the time. jackie kennedy, hubert humphrey, bobby kennedy . they all go to doctor k

the king had lung cancer.nces himself that he's getting better. >> even though george feels he is on the mend, there is a trip that he has been planning to do, but he's not up to it and he asks princess elizabeth and prince philip to go in his stead. >> but five days after his daughter arrives in kenya, at home in sandringham, at the age of just 56, the king dies. >> princess elizabeth is queen the moment her father dies thousands of miles away at sandringham. they said they have to get the news to her before the news is announced on the radio. and communications in 1952 are very difficult. >> the palace sends out a coded message to communicate to elizabeth, but there's a problem. the code had to be deciphered and nobody had the code book. but the palace thinks elizabeth will be told. and so the palace tells the world, but elizabeth doesn't know. >> elizabeth's private secretary is in the local town when he hears that the king has died. but at this point it's unconfirmed. >> princess elizabeth was in her room

king towers over us. the sculpture is flanked by a granite wall, 14 quotes are on that wall, not one uses the word racism or segregation or racial injustice or apartheid, not one. they are arranged like cross stitches, 1963, 1967, 1964, completely out of context of the movements and mobilizations in which king spoke them. the monument was made in china to save money. a man who risked his life and went to jail 30 times to challenge american racism who was quick to point out the racism of the north as well as the south, who wrote from jail in 1963 that the biggest problem was not the klan but the white moderate. that man of god and courage is now honored with a memorial that refuses to speak the problem of racism. it is into this moment, this moment when the history of the civil rights movement is regularly invoked and distorted and used to celebrate the greatness of the united states, that we turn to our speakers tonight. both of tonight's speakers write eloquently to help us make sense of this paradox, of

king described riots. as temp attention of children i'll people who don't have an option to put that effect cry out to say i am somebody and hear this sent to me you know what you don't want to me and can i understood that. and he realized that the sinai. staff. of resistance is dead he it used in the south would not work in the know up is that everyone isn't in washington i senatorial committee was set up to investigate rising violence in the ghettos king was summoned to put forth his position on the talking basically. economic and social yes that's correct 100 because i think. that it is necessary to see at this point that the issues which we confront all the hard. core economic issues for about a decade we worked on public accommodations and the right to vote and as i said earlier it was necessary to do this an audit to remove a stigma or an audit to remove the humiliation of a caste system but now we moving into an area where we must demand basic reforms that will deal with these basic economic issues

king. king is talking about citizenship that's robust, not just voting rights and end of segregation, but citizenship for him, guaranteed missing wages, decent housing and food justice and it means racial integration and i think that malcolm got aspects of king's notion of racial integration wrong. and for king, it wasn't about he wants to just hang out with white folks. king understood that racial integration meant an integration of resources, and a redistribution of resources and justice, right? so we think about things like george floyd. when we think about ahmaud arbery or sandra bland those things would not happen in integrated society because you can't pick and choose in the very specific neighborhoods, the very specific geography who you're going to racially terrorize. we have codes demarcated as ghettos and we can occupy those zip codes and malcolm new that, and king over time began to ask the movement to understand. >> and let me focus in on the point about radical black dignity. i

was the king who became the radical king and that's when he began to move toward malcolm x. . on april 4th 1968 martin luther king was assassinated in memphis. a few days later at his funeral the black community was not only mourning its national leader 3 years after the violent death of malcolm x. it was laying to rest the 2 dreams that it shapes the history of african americans . and their all the dell and weak across the southeast of a story can say hail the size of plaid this is a very slow moving average of low pressure it is bringing the rain and also some thunderstorms down 3 monday some rather heavy rain and strong winds across tasmania and some blustery conditions along coastal areas of victoria and also those showers pushing across into new south wales not quite make it across the tasman sea say that about stops for a week across by thousands of new zealand but the rain already pushing in across the west so those rain showers arriving late in the day on monday it'll probably say fairly shabby on choose a city quite cloudy a high of 20 degrees so not feeling too bad f

king, dr. king's notion of citizenship is going to be different. king is a defense attorney. he's defending white people to black people and black people to white people. and when we think about dr. king, king talking about citizenship that's very robust. not just voting rights, not just the end of racial segregation, but citizenship for him means guaranteed living wage, it means decent housing. he talked about food justice, environmental justice. citizenship for king also means racial integration, and i think that malcolm got the aspect of king's racial integration just wrong. for king it wasn't about he wants to hang out with white folks. king understood that racial integration meant an integration of resources and a redistribution of resources and justice, right? so we think about things like george floyd, when we think about ahmaud arbery or sandra bland, those things wouldn't happen in a racially integrated society, right? because you can't pick and choose in the very specific neighborhoods, the very specific geography who you're going to racially terrorize. we are zip c

king's lead. dr.ing has always made the argument the kennedy administration should not think about black citizenship as something that was peripheral to the united states of america and american democracy. dr. king made the argument it was central. king is making the argument racial justice should be the beating heart of american democracy. that day, president kennedy says the same thing. that is what is so important. kennedy says that because of all these demonstrations. kennedy speaks at the midway of a 10 week period at a time where 60,000 americans were arrested. when kennedy says there is a revolution happening, he is not kidding. he is showing leadership by saying, this revolution can be violent or peaceful. because we are the united states of america, we have to remember who we are, what our core values are. this issue of systemic racism and white supremacy should have been over 100 years ago. 1963 is the centennial of the emancipation proclamation. kennedy showed extreme neri leadership after
