that's like king in birmingham. all of those things. so, daddy king did have this prophetic exodus come at that, and he and borders to the full month of preaching on the liberation in polls of exodus and as many people would say, that is the central narrative in african-american religion. so daddy king had that and had been involved in the double ecp. with the refinement and some of this other stuff, that is king elaborating it through the crossover artists who are his models, benjamin mays, were tied johnson, howard thurman and howard thurman king king sample his story of what happened at india to tell the story of what happened when king was in india. he was introduced once as an untouchable and he said -- he tells the congregation reporting back in ebenezer here is a fellow untouchable from america. and everybody -- you hear the audience when sing -- wincing. i could not stop on a hotel and get my kids some food. i am an untouchable. he got this from mayes. if you look at his speeches from morehouse and lincoln, king recycled a lot o

so he's our guide for what birmingham, both birmingham amreeka and birmingham america are like in this parade of time and it's a really tangible way to get a feeling for what's going on. this picture is taken and 93 because the book, which is a book on air america opens up on the football field in birmingham, alabama, in 1940. i did want to give people what to expect or what they think they know about arab americans either history or contemporary society. and its life intersects -- i started 40 because he is a person in birmingham becomes no because of the football game in 1940. i know this is a totally different conference. do you guys know what the iron bowl is? into southern college football tickets and a competition between the university of alabama and auburn. and this competition start the late 1800s but they stopped playing for 41 years before 1940 because of some dispute over who had to pay the referee. and finally they played in 1948, and hear of this game is and salem. his dad comes from what is palestine from ramallah, and his mom's parents came from lebanon, and they had im

that is in salem, so this is -- he is our guide for what birmingham -- birmingham amreeka and birmingham america are like in this time and it's a tangible way to get a feeling for what's going on. this picture was taken in 1948 because the book, which is a book on arab-american opens up on the football field and birmingham, alabama in 1948. and i definitely didn't want to give people what they would expect or think they know about american history or contemporary society. and ed's life intersects -- i started 40 because it as a person birmingham comes to be known because the surface football game in 1948, and i know this is a totally different conference what do you guys know what the iron bowl is? at between university of alabama and auburn. and they -- this competition start in the late 1800's but they stopped playing 41 years before 1948 because of some dispute over who had to pay the referee. finally they play again in 1948 and hear this game is at salem. his dad comes from what is palestine from ramallah, and his mom's parents came from lebanon and the emigrated to tennessee. so it

today they're visiting birmingham's central mosque. >> if i was to strap a bomb to myself and go intoacticing what i'm preaching. my religion is islam, the religion of peace. likewise, what america preaches and its actions don't go together. >> at the end of the day, until you can have free elections and open dialogue like we're having here now, then that's when you truly have peace. >> you can't bring democracy to iraq if you bomb cities and kill children and men and women. they're not going to love you. if you kill my child, i'm not going to love you. i'm going to hate you and this is what he has done. so mr. ambassador, you know, i'm -- i know you're a nice man. how can you defend mr. george bush's policy? and i hope as soon as he goes, mr. bush, somebody sensible comes in power in america, we'll be very grateful. >> let me say first -- let the record show he said i was a nice man, let's not forget that, all right? i've known president bush for almost 25 years. he's not anti-muslim. he's not anti-islam. >> reporter: but the ambassador can see he's facing a tough audience. still, he

mohammad ali is a birmingham artist knowns as aerosol arabic.se from painting graffiti on city walls to displaying his art in museums and stately halls. >> it is actually a guy who is making a equally for prayer. god has given me a gift, the ability to paint. i'm using my skills to try to make a change in society. you see something negative and you actively go to change that. >> mohammad ali's reaction to the negative atmosphere is to practice what he paints. >> people are increasingly becoming disillusioned or being led astray. this is not the way. i have done workshops with kids and i say to them, if you have issues, put it on a canvass, paint, express yourselves. >> that is the aim of his new project, a giant street mural that he'll be painting on the side of an islamic nursery along with students from a multifaith high school. >> the whole mural is supported by the reverend john, the chaplain of a local college. the headmaster of the faith based islamic ministry. everyone engaging together on this mural is powerful. >> this is a perfect time

my ex-husband since august the 19th has been in birmingham alabama, downtown birmingham. they did not do a simple chest x-ray on him. he had pneumonia. he's fighting for his life. that doctor got in my son's face and my face and said, you will not dispute what i as a medical doctor or professional have told you. you are going to against me. we've come to realize that there were two deaths in the shelby medical center last year, pneumonia undiagnosed with a simple chest x-ray. he got a bill for that one day, $18,000. >> guest: the kind of story you're telling gets at the heart, i think, of many of the issues that i think we are all struggling with. look, 60% -- first of all, if you have a stroke, you don't necessarily know but it's slurred speech or you're not moving one side of your body. a family member needs to call 911 right away. a stroke needs to be treated within 90 minutes. and the -- what we have as a numbers, 60% of our strokes in our country are treated incompletely or inappropriately in our hospitals. we want to say it's that hospital or it's that doctor. for t

king's letter from a birmingham jail is one of the finest articulations of the moral prerequisites of the rule of law and its fundamental necessaryity to our legal, political, and societal foundations ever written. when i talked to school children, oftentimes i tell them to take a look at that letter. when you realize that letter was written without any access to books at the time. that he wrote under very difficult circumstances in a sparse jail cell. you appreciate even more the wisdom and the grace of the language that dr. king used. his articulation of natural rights guarded by natural law of just and unjust laws, of the objective and nonarbitrary basis for the rule of law, trust, government, and moral order is in my judgment without comparison. so as we call in this resolution people in this nation, particularly young people, to dedicate a portion of that day to service of the country, let us remember the vision of dr. king as he understood the true basis for laws in this country. when asked by some of the other ministers at birmingham why he would interfere, he basically answere

birmingham, 26. snow flurries this morning.o looking at very cold temperatures across much of florida as well. and you know what's amazing to me is that when you plan to, let's say, run a race, a mayorton or half marathon, a lot of people pick destinations across the country based on the weather. so orlando, florida, this time of year, 72 degrees for a high. 52 degrees for a low. perfect running weather. a half marathoner that ventured out, dealt with temperatures in the 30s, as if they were running in boston. >> oh, no. >> tomorrow is the full marathon. 55,000 people close to the 7,000 that went out this morning will ge out tomorrow morning and run more. orlando right now is getting a mix, a little bit of light rain, then to the north we still have sleet falling in flagler beach, in and around the daytona beach area. sleet mixing with snow at times in parts of northern and central florida. also looking at big changes. luckily, despite the frigid temperatures you see here, we are going to see improvements. temperatures will sta

they got there and my ex-husband since august 19 has been at the downtown birmingham hospital they did not do a simple chest x-ray and he had ammonia. it turned into respiratory failure and they are fighting for his life. that dr. got in our face and said you will not dispute what i as a medical doctor professional have told you. you are going against me. have come to realize they were two deaths in that hospital from ammonia and diagnosed with a simple just x-ray. he got a bill for that one day $80,000. >> guest: that storey gets up the hearts of many issues that i think we are all struggling with. if you have a stroke you do not necessarily know if it is slurred speech removing one side of the body a family member needs to call 911 right away us stroke has to be treated within 90 minutes. 60% of strokes and the country are treated incompletely or inappropriately in the hospital. we want to say it is that hospital or that dr.. for the most part what i find unbelievably hard-working people unbelievably trained the push against the limits of the complexity of delivery. we are fooled by

king in the mass meetings and the special communion he established in selma and birmingham and a lot of small towns across the black belt. after having done that we i return to the king's crossover address to white. we understand a different. we can hear the earthier blacker white operating in the midst as well. i'm not going to say much about the most famous pieces of that tonight. and the questions we can get into that. if people have questions if i had a dream. for tonight's purpose, i'm really just going to try to evoke this backstage king as it were. king we know was an unbelievably dignified person. and dignity, the mask of dignity was very important to him. and when he introduces himself to the larger white society, right after the montgomery insurgency, in the book stride to freedom, he writes in the first couple of pages, he striked the loftiest persona. he describes, i was driving back fast. listening to the towns. listening to music playing. he goes on listening to the architecture. he was a very refined person. we know there was somebody in there with him in the car. ther

malcolm is also a bold enough to criticize president kennedy for not acting productively enough in birmingham alabama. what's interesting when we study malcolm x and look at his that malcolm really serves as a counterpart to king but in a way people usually don't think of. its counterpart to king has the good black man and malcolm is the bad nasty and high white black man. malcolm is a counterpart saying things king can't say very boldly in a very confrontational manner but that actually gives king of room to negotiate and not just king but also roy wilkins of naacp and whitney young of the urban league to negotiate because people are looking at all, as being so extreme of his robust criticism of american democracy and politicians but also the politics of white supremacy that it gives these other support its leaders room to maneuver but this notion, though quote that you take from malcolm had agreed gift of speaking to people. jimmy baldwin, the great african-american writer, genius richard of the 1960's and 70's has often said that malcolm had such a love for african-american people that he

windchill in oklahoma city is still 2, birmingham, it's 9.ans, new orleans has a windchill of 13 this morning. forecast highs today, we're still not going to get above freezing in oklahoma, all of st. louis and chicago. it is the duration of this event which has been so incredible. we have not gone above 32 degrees, the freezing mark, in nine days now in chicago. also nine days in st. louis and indianapolis. that means that none of the snow, none of the ice is melting. we expect that in minneapolis, but not in st. louis, where the average high should be around 37 this time of year. later on tonight this will be the danger zone. 26 is the forecast low there in orlan orlando, so, a lot of the oranges and strawberries are just south of orlando and tampa. those areas will be below freezing for an extended period of time and the most damage will be done tonight. if you noticed, orange juice prices already up about a dollar just in the last week. >> oh, yeah. >> so, this cold tonight is going to cause a ripple effect across the country. you know, a

its coat tobias in birmingham, alabama, host: tobias in birmingham, alabama, go ahead.r: hello? the use this time for major legislation, make more effort to address the economy. because it is not going to be an extreme priority to the place where -- i did not say that this climate change moving forward, but in reality -- i do not say that this climate change moving forward, but in reality, leaving obama -- blaming obama, talking about obama. you can find everything he will say or do is attacked, so you need to be very careful host: tobias, thanks for your call. guest: i think one of the things to buy as is pointing out there is the tension in the debate. in the long run, you are going to have an economic benefit from curbing read us gases, and it will spur innovation in green technology here at home, but it will be essential if we're going to shift to a low-carbon economy. in the short term, there will be some economic dislocation, and you'll be hearing a lot about that, including higher energy prices, as part of the congressional debate early next year. host: we have t

mayor of birmingham served for 20 years in birmingham and changed that city.this is a valid idea and he can't imagine his career or the sil rights movement moving forward without this kind of politics. host: the quote. our guest is the author of the book, congressman glenn brouder. he served for the state of alabama from 1989 to 1997. and will be with us in the 9:15. our first call is from florida. jackie on our independent line. caller: it would be nice if you would advise the people in this country what your political status is. c-span neglected to advise the people that mr. kitcher was a very staunch conservative and has been. so where do you stand? and the problem that i have with your comments is didn't alabama keep a poll tax in effect in alabama for several years? i'll take your answer off the air. guest: well, thank you very much for that question. i am a democrat. i served in 14 years in office as a democrat as a state legislature, state secretary of state and as a u.s. congressman. so i am a democrat. i am -- i have never been a highly partisan perso

he went into birmingham and local communities did not want him there. they thought he was grandstanding, seeking attention. so when you begin to understand all of this debacle is, i think then you begin to appreciate hisç?$sp'y sacrifices. because by the time dr. king comes along and the movement had already begun. you could say the movement had begun when the first resistance came from the slaves and the rhythm kept going. but the litigation aspect of the civil rights movement began in the early century after the formation of the naacp. you had the brown decision as if we cannot give up the authority of a lot to racial discrimination. so the decision was made. but now, you're in a position where you're challenging the most powerful organizing force in american society. it is class, culture, the role of gender, everything is organized around this issue, and now you are saying you have to be constructed. well, the face of the movement that dr. king led was that we need to start this deconstruction now. we need to implement the changes now. gradualism wil

host: birmingham, alabama. bobby on the democrat line. i would like to hear the president address medicare and medicaid because medicaid is being killed by all the young women and everyone else going on medicaid, having more children just to get more money from medicaid. then you have your older people on medicare barely making enough to buy their medicine. on less history serves me wrong, i believe many years ago the government borrowed money from medicare. was that money never paid back? they have given back the stimulus money. what needs to be paid back is the money that was taken away from medicare. the last thing i want to say is president obama is the most disrespectful president we have ever had. some of the things that we have been saying to the president are disrespectful. by one of many like to hear him address medicare and medicaid. host: stephen, northampton, pennsylvania. caller: i have a problem with a false this coming from the congress on the democratic side, trying to reward people for non- activity. socialism has come to

birmingham, alabama, janet on the republican line, good morning.ller: first of all, i want to back the caller from colorado. no one mentioned the goldstone report. i called in months ago and brought it up on c-span because no one even brought it up on c- span. as far as the gaza protest, nobody -- and you did not hear it on the news at all, the local news, cnn, fox, msnbc -- none of them talked about it. the best place to get your news -- i will name a couple of web sites, if i may. kiwani one is presstv.com. you will find things that you will never hear about on the news. also, you can go to america- hijckeacked.com. it speaks about the attacks of 9/11 because of our foreign policy, because we support israel and all of that, and the oppression of the cost indians. also, there is another one that you can go to -- the oppression of the palestinians. also, there are two more that you can go to. you can go to stopaipac.com and you can go to neocon zionistthreat.com. >> thank you for the call. here is another article about is google making a stupid. he

has boasted on the bbc of his support for suicide has been invited to speak on the university of birmingham campus. the matter of freedom of expression. does the prime minister agree that freedom of expression is vital is not the same as providing a platform for hate. we have to shut down these incubators of hate against our values against the jewish people. >> i think he raises a very important issue about how our universities will respond overtime to what is an attempt by some people to use them as a breeding ground for extremist activity. we have always got to get right the balance between academic freedom, which is at the heart of what universities are about, and the maintenance of security in our country. i know that most vice-chancellor is going to play through. >> on e borders the home secretary had some impressive elements in their reports injected a fairly great amount of problems. has the prime minister perceived how this is coming to be overcome and if not is there any point at all in closing the front door and leaving the back door open? >> my right honorable friend who deals th

he went into birmingham and local communities did not want him there. they thought he was grandstanding, seeking attention. so when you begin to understand all of this debacle is, i think then you begin to appreciate his many sacrifices. because by the time dr. king comes along and the movement had already begun. you could say the movement had begun when the first resistance came from the slaves and the rhythm kept going. but the litigation aspect of the civil rights movement began in the early century after the formation of the naacp. you had the brown decision as if we cannot give up the authority of a lot to racial discrimination. so the decision was made. but now, you're in a position where you're challenging the most powerful organizing force in american society. it is class, culture, the role of gender, everything is organized around this issue, and now you are saying you have to be constructed. well, the face of the movement that dr. king led was that we need to start this deconstruction now. we need to implement the changes now. gradualism will
