-- reverend bernice king, those are two of the four children of dr. martin luther king and coretta scott king. when they spoke, the crowd just was actually swooning for them because of what they had to say. so eloquently speaking about their father and remembering him. but earlier in the morning, i had the privilege of speaking with reverend jesse jackson, a man who walked and talked with dr. king and this is what he says. >> in jamestown, virginia, where slaves landed to this place 132 miles, to go from the ships to have the statue erected between presidents jefferson and lincoln and washington, that's a big deal. >> reverend jackson reflecting on what this deal is to him, now seeing this dedication taking place. he says it brings everything full circle but there's much work to be done in terms of achieving his dream. eric? >> dan rather was speaking, he covered the civil rights movement and you grew up, kelly, during the civil rights era and we've seen dr. king's children and we saw his sister, dr. christine farris, she's now 84 years old speak. wha

before he took off for washington, i spoke with him as well as his sister, reverend bernice king. they drew parallels between the occupy movement and the civil rights movement. >> certainly, we have to applaud young people. number one, because the modern civil rights movement was basically young folk. >> so you see some real parallels between the civil rights movement that your dad and many others, foot soldiers, were involved in. you see the parallels with the "occupy wall street"? >> i certainly see that a movement could evolve from what they are doing. and my prayer is that it always stays nonviolent. if it reverts to violence, that would be terrible but i don't see that happening. >> at the root of both movements, we are talking the frustration of economic disparities, do you think that when you see some of the young people and people of all ages, not just young people but people right in the middle, people who are older, some who have jobs, some who don't, et cetera, when they are out there, did you feel like you could identify right away that this is very similar to how the

recently i spoke with bernice king and martin luther king iii. >> my point of view is -- >> the movementthe play. we certainly have seen the script. >> what did you think about the script? >> it's a fictitious production which means that it, you know, the actual writer created a lot of things and nobody actually knows what happened that night. so i don't know if it's -- i think it's difficult to really create -- recreate what happens. >> is that bothersome? >> also i think there's a body of work, of great work of who dad was and i believe there's another production as well that actually talks about -- in other words, why would you need to make up something that you think may have happened when there's so much that already exists that did happen? and people do not know about? so, you know, i think, you know, i applaud the effort. >> what happens in a case like that? can you say, you know what, this really isn't the image that we want anyone to capitalize off. do you feel like as the protecters of your dad's image, of his name, that you're able to do that? image, of his name, that you are

bernice king accepted the posthumous honors for her mother. >> let me thank the young lady that the nominated my mother -- miss kelly mccoy. >> it is an incredible honor to be here and to sit with dr. king. >> 11 women were inducted in this year's class. standing on the shoulders of the early women pioneers of seneca falls, new york. >> now your 11 insta-weather- plus forecast with tom tasselmyer. >> october rise with some unusually cool weather for this time of year. we are running well below normal. there are scattered showers are round. the doppler showing some scattered showers and the cool air in the morning lows. 40's run baltimore. 30's to our north and west. that chilly air continues to invade the region, producing snow in parts of west virginia. a few sprinkles are on the baltimore area, but we picked up 1/10 of an inch of rain. nowhere near the record high of 89 degrees. 45. the clouds prevented it from getting too cold at night. that would be the same story tonight. 40's north and west of town. low 50's on the eastern shore. down to freezing at oakland were with there will be wet s

to that end we heard fiery rhetoric from bernice king, the daughter of dr. king.ng about the social injustice that she and many of the other speakers and many in this vast audience on a beautiful day think exists in america today. talking about how the dream, my father talked about the dream and we are still working to accomplish that dream. even though this memorial here is being opened today, there is plenty of work to be done and a lot of speakers picking up on the theme beyond just martin luther king, iii and his sister. we're steps away from the lincoln memorial, alec. let's talk about the symbolism surrounding this memorial. it was in 1963 that dr. king gave his iconic i have a dream speech. it was august 28th. on the 48th anniversary of the speech, that was the original date, as you know to dedicate, to have this ceremony. it was washed out by hurricane irene. today, seven weeks later, a sublime day. what i want to mention, as part of that speech and the theme of the monument and its design and construction, dr. martin luther king said during that speech, h

. >> tune in tomorrow in the 2:00 eastern hour for more of my hour with bernice king and martin luther king iii. >>> even if you can't be at the dedication ceremony, you can visit the memorial online right now in some new ways. josh levs is here. >>> josh, how close is this virtual tour to the real thing? >> it is actually very close. it is really impressive. for so many people who can't be there, you can visit it online. as fred was just saying. take a look here from the website of it. mlk memorial.org. it shows you this 30-foot likeness. i haven't gotten to show you this yet. this is really impressive. this is a time lapse video. you watch this with me. you are now going to see the actual creation of this memorial within seconds due to the magic of time lapse there. as we see it, i will tell you what they did. they took 159 granite blocks and assembled them. once they were all up, the artist came in and did the fine carving in order to achieve that likeness of dr. king. you are also seeing this, the section in the front, dr. king's likeness and the second in the back that is a mounta

. >> bernice king, dr. aughter talked about growing up with her father he and tells the story when jfk was assassinated her father knew it could happen to him. >> when kennedy was assassinated my mother and father were together and he said, you know, that's what's going to happen to me. and it was one of those moments of pause for both of them at the time and so she always instinctually knew that that day would come and ask dad a question and get a response. there were times i just need a fatherly, you know hug and can't get it, but then i look at the fact that he gave his life for the benefit of humanity and because i understood from my relationship with christ that he gave his life for all of us. and for my father to give his life to the benefit of humanity, i'm willing to accept that kind of sacrifice and just deal with the tears as they flow. >> mike: isn't it amazing, he lived with that, well not fear, but the possibility that his life could be taken at any moment. >> alisyn: of course, and fox news of

bernice king accepted a posthumous honors for her mother, which she felt was long overdue. >> let meo thank the young lady that nominated my mother, who is here tonight, ms. kalle mckelway. >> it is an incredible honor to be here and to be sitting with dr. king. >> in all, levin minute -- 11 women, historical and living, were inducted, standing on the shoulders of the early pioneers in seneca falls, new york. >> a lovely story. congratulations, senator. still to come, thousands of people gathered in ticket -- in kentucky to honor a local hero. >> he ran through energy -- enemy fire tuesday fellow soldiers. what you -- to save his fellow soldiers. >> federal prosecutors tried to use a center's own words against him in his bribery trial. ♪ [ female announcer ] have you ever seen a glacier while sunbathing? why not? have you ever climbed a rock wall in the middle of the ocean? or tried something really wild? why not? it's all possible in the nation of why not. royal caribbean's floating nation. where you are free to do anything you want. which may be nothing at all. royal caribbean inte

how much politics have been a part of many of the speeches here, not just by king's daughter, bernice kingwas pretty political today as you heard, candy. >> he certainly was. did you get a sense -- because i know you've been talking to folks down there very early, talking to folks all day long -- was this an opportunity to come out and see history being made? did they come out to see the president? what was the general feel for why people came today? >> reporter: well, certainly a sense of history. i believe everyone here, we e spoke with, talked about how important it was to come because this is history and what dr. king stood for and being honored today. they wanted to be here, because as you mentioned all throughout the program, this is the fist monument on the mall to a nonpresident or war hero, the first to a black man, i believe. so they wanted to be here for this occasion. you saw everyone coming out. we had aretha franklin singing, all of the civil rights leaders speaking, and the crowd here taking it in as we well know. one thing about president obama is he made a reference, as ma

first time was a moving experience for king's children as martin luther king iii and reverend bernice kingay's event. >> well, it is a connector perhaps for some people it will be first connector. obviously with the internet people know a lot about our father, but those that come to visit, i think the inspiration of the words that they encounter may awaken something. they'll want to understand better who this man was and the kind of change he affected in terms of advancing our society globally. >> this man we're talking about was your father. martin luther king iii. when you go to this memorial site, when you saw it for first time, what was the emotion you felt? >> the emotion i will characterize by words of our daughter, our daughter is 3 years old. and we took her back in may before the monument actually opened. and this is what is amazing about it is exactly how i felt. she said i'm not going to cry. i said, andrea, what did she just say? just as i said, she said it again, i'm not going to cry. she looked up at the monument and said this is awesome. >> it seems like a very poignant loca

also martin luther king iii and bernice king. president obama will also be speaking. we thought we'd take a look at some of the scup tur itself and some of the controversy surrounding it. powerful and imposing, a 30-foot tall statue of dr. martin luther king jr. emerging from a stone of hope. it made an immediate impression on his son. >> the very first time that i came to the site i was almost overwhelmed. i really was impressed by this artist. he was able to capture the essence of my dad. >> reporter: but not everyone is pleased with how the statue turned out or with the fact that the memorial foundation chose a chinese artist to carve it. denver-based ed white, a 70-year-old artist sculpted seven scat ttatues of king beli it missed the mark. >> having a seven-foot sculpture of this man, he would not appreciate that because that was not him. >> reporter: dwight was involved in the project early on and is credited for sculpting small stone of hope donor gifts. foundation panel shows the chinese sculptor to carve the statue. >> we got the best man for the job. more. >

so earlier this week, martin luther king iii and his sister, bernice king, mlk's kids, talked to ourld about their father's legacy and what this memorial means for them some 14 years this thing has been in the making. >> this particular mom monument took less time than most of them if not all of them, so i think that speaks volumes that we were able to move it along in that time period. but, you know, the irony is that his life span in terms of impact in this world was just about 14 years. so there's some kind of parallel to the work that he did, as well. >> and you'll be able to see more of fredericka's interview with the king's children at noon eastern time today. >>> also tonight, 7:30 eastern, something very special. that i'm looking forward to sharing with you all. an exclusive, emotional and rare interview. six members of martin luther king jr.'s inner circle. got them altogether in one place and that one place was the basement of historic ebenezer baptism church. please join me for freedom's foot soldiers tonight at 7:30 eastern time. cnn saturday morning continues in just a m

this is his late -- the daughter of his late daughter bernice king. expected to be a smaller crowd than they thought back in august when the ceremony was originally scheduled. but it was delayed by hurricane irene. still thousands of people there today to celebrate. the president himself will be delivering an address at 8:00 this morning. >> looks like nice weather out there, lisa. >> yes. we are going to have our fair share of some nice fall-like weather as well. this morning drove through a stray shower out there. and right now it's drying out considerably. so a look from our camera. we have some clouds around but also a deck of lower clouds beginning to dissipate, and the higher clouds as well. but from live doppler 7 hd you will see a little bit of moisture right over the bay and around hayward. 880 and union city, this is about what is left of that moisture southwest flow that moved up overnight. so this morning, from the north bay to the san mateo coast, and even around down half moon bay, we saw a few stray showers but now we are looking at som

that's why king's very own daughter, the reverend bernice king said her father would have supported themic justice. one part of the 99% movement has now formed a demands working group and called for a national convention, a list of suggested demands includes a jobs plan and single-payer health care. but the suggestions by the working group have not yet been embraced by the movement as a whole. let's bring in the director of africana studies dr. james peterson. good to have you with us. >> how are you? >> doing fine. how do you think martin luther king would have seen the 99% movement and why is it so important? >> well, it's clerly dr. king would have embraced the movement. remember his principals of nonviolence. remember when he gave his life for the movement he was focused on addressing poverty directly and marching, nonviolently, to washington with. when he got shot in memphis when he was working with the sanitation workers, this was his platform precisely. so i'm just disgusted by this in some ways, ed. representative west and i hope the people from the 22nd district in florida can

martin luther king iii and bernice king spoke to fredericka whittfield recently about seeing the imagel yy aialized on the nat mall. they say the 14-year process to build the memorial has a lot of symbolism. >> this particular monument took less time than most of them. if not all of them. so i think that speaks volumes that we were able to move it along in that time period. but, you know, the irony is that his life span in terms of impact in this world was just about 14 years. so there's some kind of parallel to the work that he did as well. >>> also, much more on the dedication of the memorial tonight when t.j. has an exclusive and emotional interview with six members of dr. king's inner circle. one of them, congressman john lewis. >> and when dr. king received the nobel peace prize in 1964, he spoke about -- we cry for joy. we don't cry for pain. when the cup runs over, you talk about the world house. they were all in the state house. it's one house. not just an american house, but the world house. >> freedom's foot soldiers, a conversation with t.j. holmes. you won't want to miss it
