and bayard rustin said to me -- he was joking, just joking. he said, "john, you can't say you cannot be patient." said the catholic church believed in being patient. he was just kidding me. but then, there was some people who said something like, "in the speech, you're saying revolution, black masses." what are you talking about? and a. philip randolph came to my rescue. he said, "there's nothing wrong with the use of the word black masses. i use it myself sometimes. there's nothing wrong with the use of the word revolution. i use it in myself --" so, for the most part, we kept that in it. but near the end of the speech, the original text, i said, "if we do not see meaningful progress here today, the day may come where we may not confine our marching on washington, but we may be forced to march through the south the way sherman did nonviolently." they said, "oh, no. you can't go there." and that stayed in the speech until we got to the steps of the lincoln memorial. and both a. philip randolph and dr. king and mr. wilkins came to me. and at on

he had our cards on his porch, pistols line around, and it was not until bayard rustin came down from new york that he was called the american ghandi. it was not until he came into his house, moved into his basement to live, not until he got there and he really understood not only tactics but the power of nonviolence. up till you one more thing. i love this man. the talked to a guy named floyd mckissick chair near his bother with the speaker for their congress of racial equality. the leader was in jail in louisiana at the time. so mckissick stood in for him. now a state legislator in north carolina. he told me that his image of martin luther king, jr. is this gentle father figure who would taken by the hand, walking down the street, buy him an ice-cream, played with him, tickle him. that is a sign of what people don't see. multifaceted, always, always interested in growing beyond whatever he was. anything up front? >> to use the -- to questions. our age as the ford of hair wasn't? if so, what? >> account. well, you know, it's hard to say the cynical part of me wants to say yes. i don'
