my own really strong preconceptions about the south for me it's about being in the hearts of the bible belt it's about prejudice and the history of segregation but actually being told that the story of islam in america begins of all places here centuries before muhammad ali or malcolm x. and it's a story that begins with slavery. it starts here because most of the slave ship from africa came to work the plantations of the south among them were muslims. forbidding from practicing their faith they found secret ways to keep islam alive calling the faithful to prayer here in mississippi is abdul rashid he believes that one way they achieve this was through. the africans brought them there was a here. people lose came from mississippi i don't think that i've been hearing about the link between the call to prayer and the songs that slaves used to sing in the fields are they similar the call to prayer. are if you ever went to a baptist church then you can hear this in a baptist church all of the. this is especially as this is an. archipelago. singing the whole congregation to sing you know. love.

here in the bible belt, in the panhandle.id a large part of that is because of that conversation at a national stage among these presidential candidates over in washington, d.c. and at a certain point that comes and enters into communities like his own. he said that he wants those candidates to continue to speak out because he's seen progress in communities like here in amarillo. stephanie? >> thank you. let's turn to the nine candidates who are addressing today how they plan to help the nation's poorest populations. what do you think we'll hear? >> reporter: stephanie, we're getting set up at the poor people's campaign event in washington, d.c. you're right. nine presidential candidates are going to be here making their pitch and basically the whole point of this organization is to highlight the idea that wealth should be reallocated and that there is a large racial and income inequality gap. this is a group that last year put out its basically moral agenda, the things they care about and what this group would like to see up

question bernie i think this out i did not ask joe biden who his corporate sponsors are because bible belt ultra long time it took a lot of money from banks and credit card companies and corporations and by and. bernie sanders main forte is that he's against corporate money for the common people he doesn't accept the money all these years he could have done that with but he held back a bit you know about a lot and as a reporter mentioned he seemed to focus but he said it's does seem to focus his attacks more on the current president donald trump than on joe biden so we've had the 1st 2 debates in this very crowded field of 20 candidates who would you say looking the strongest so far after these debates i think was a bit more of that quite well yesterday she was on the stage today which is very well yesterday and she's one of the most electable candidates with solid proposal detail ones now and he's got a lot more support recently so i think it's sort of mind biden sanders errors and. senator warren so we have to have a cheek side of these 2 debates and it will take a few days to see how th

in order to avenge that blasphemy some christians from the bible belt in the us rekindled the anti rock music. and when fundamentalists are angry there are calls to burn the heretic so reluctant to teenagers would throw away their treasured beatles possessions was the ku klux klan with bonfires of books and records this one was of longview texas they seized the opportunity to show their christian feel. it was a huge wave of protest radio stations would no longer air the albums off of the records were burnt to the k.k.k. was involved in that scheme they said we have to fight these people typical of the religious bigotry in american society where if you had believers the heat was on the beatles were statements used. to be did. you have said. yes i did as well as helping i couldn't believe that they let me hear my record company insisted john lennon apologize which he actually did and then things fell back into place but still he was forced to apologize i'm. not i'm not and it went great. i. think. i'll just spend one in. the thread caused by this controversy is one of the reasons the beat

thousands of visitors and certainly in kentucky and much of the area that i was traveling through, bible belt and that was an aspect of my trials. >> he was accompanied by his brother, john. you invited him to come with you and -- >> the second southern journey i think that his brother invites himself along. he is doing medical training that he has tuberculosis. obviously in that way there is no way to treat it and he thought a horseback ride in texas which was the ultimate destination of the journey. he's along for the ride into thithesomewhat jokingly i invity brother who i knew wasn't going to come and basically said i have a life. [laughter] >> they were fascinated when i told him what i was doing and he had never seen what he called america's outback. he's a very -- he doesn't fit the american stereotype. he's not a big backslapping beer swilling type. he's a wonderful guy with a tv personality. he has a similar thing of humor. i was a little worried about him, but he appears from new orleans across louisiana and part of texas. to provide some comic relief in his rather jaundiced comment

. >> here in the heart of the american bible belt, on the fringe of vast sprawling army and air forcees, like a patient accommodating land lord, is fayetteville, north carolina. imagine, most of a suburban strip mall of strip clubs and a downtown which is charming, elegant even, and a scene about everything. it's an old town, fayetteville. that tower marks the spot where north carolina ratified the federal constitution back in 1789. i'm standing on what was a slave market. sherman fought battles here in the civil war. now it's a military town and 160,000 acres back there is the army's ft. bragg where soldiers prepare to go to war. nestled up beside that is the air force base. two institutions, two professional military men, one woman. and that woman, michelle theer, now found herself caught between her husband, marty, the air force captain and her former lover, army staff sergeant john diamond who just wouldn't go away. >> i told him, i don't want to leave my husband. i never told him, i love you, i never said, i want to be with you. i mean, i think i was pretty straight up. >> now wi

because this is still bible belt, even in the black part of the state, which are the majority of the it's going to be talking about the issues that are still very important to the democratic primary electorate which is health care, the economy, it's really fixing and make sure -- the medicare for all is taking off across the base of the democratic party, because it's something we know is still a major issue that still needs to be improved upon. so focusing on issues that are sort of like the bread and butter while still being able to talk about abortion rights, civil rights, lbgtq rights, and talking about an opportunity for all is really going to resonate in a large way in these parts of the country. >> they want to know that you can win, period. they're the ones who are like, we want trump out of office. so showing them that you have a plan to not just beat -- it's similar to what cory booker just did. it's not just about beating donald trump. we have to fix the problems that existed before he got into office and will continue while he's in office. that's what progressives are look
