klu klux klan, i think the worse time in my career was when those four girls were killed in birmingham, alabama. that was the worst time because to have four little girls and have a klu klux klan guy put dynamite in a church and killed these children, and even though i knew of other atrocities, and even though we were shot at when we were kids by kluxs i think that was something that i could not hardly take. >> mud cat says he was so upset he got into a fight with a white teammate from texas who made a comment that would have normally just rolled off his back. >> he said, well, if we catch you in texas we will hang you from the nearest tree. i said i'm glad you said that. we're not in texas. we're in cleveland ohio, and i knocked him down. i was suspended but recognizing and hearing about those girls being murdered that way that was the roughest time of my life. i could put up with a lot of stuff in protecting myself, but that was the worst time for me. >> this oral history project is not without controversy. dr. durbin says at least one team has so far not made its alumni available preferring

it was last year after the struggle in birmingham alabama the late president kennedy came to realize that there was a basic issue that our country had to grapple with for the sense of concern and sense of immediacy. he made a great speech. a few days before, really, was on the same day the university of alabama was to be integrated and governor wallace stood in the door and try to block that integration. mr. kennedy had to have the national guard federalized. he stood before the nation and said in a liquid terms -- eloquent terms that problems we face in the area of civil rights is not merely a political issue. it is not merely an economic issue. it is a moral issue. it is as old as the scriptures and as modern as the constitution. it is a question of whether we will treat our negro brothers as we ourselves would like to be treated. and on the hills of that great speech, he went and recommended to the congress of our nation the must copper rings of civil rights bill ever recommended -- comprehensive civil rights bill ever recommended. fortunately, after many months of battles for a p

for example, in birmingham, alabama, this would not pass constitutional muster.se would be thrown out long before it got to because if the prosecution does not give evidence to a person to show why they have been charged to hold them in jail like these guys are being held, then the judge would dismiss at that case. jon: tom, do you see it differently? >> unfortunately i see it differently. what i would say i agree with eric in the sense, no, this should not pass constitutional muster but reality is, it often does. at federal level and many, many states and local jurisdictions across the country, the burden on the prosecution to disclose their case doesn't occur until the eve of trial and some circumstances during the trial itself. these guys were indicted by grand jury. the grand jury process itself a secret proceeding run by the prosecution. jon: they get to see the evidence. >> eventually they see the evidence. jon: grand jury. >> grand jurors do. transcripts after grand jury are held under seal. defense usually doesn't get them until day of trial very often in

during my lifetime, i remember the bombing of the 16th street baptist church in birmingham, alabama,re killed wearing their best sunday dresses. attive e may cool lins, age 14, cynthia wesley, 14. carol robertson, 14. denise mcnair, age 11. i've read about that bombing. i've even stood at the very spot where the bomb was planted. i visited the birmingham civil rights institute that is now across the street from the 16th street baptist church. and there i saw the shoes denise mcnair was wearing the day that she was killed, in an exhibit about the bombing. and i knew what journalism and history books tell us about the bombing of the 16th street baptist church, but none of that prepared me for the shock of the bombing in the movie. i actually rocked forward in my seat as if i was thrown against a dash board of the car. i felt something i had never felt before about that bombing, something history books could never make me feel. i felt the raw, physical shock of that explosion. it is the most shocking and horrifying thing i have seen on film, and it should be. because it is so tragically

they were killed when the ku klux klan bombed the 16th street baptist church in birmingham alabama. bombing came less than a month after the march on washington. i asked duvernay why she opened "selma" with this devastating attack. >> for me, our approach to violence in the film was one that we considered very carefully. i am an independent filmmaker so this is my first film. there's so much violence in this era were talking about, but i wanted it to be something reverential and respectful to the lives lost. in trying to figure out how we brought people into the story and how we established a reference -- reverence for these black lives that mattered at that time, that we approach it in a way that got you right at the top. four little girls was the catalyst for so much of what happened in selma, the very visceral shaking of the leaders of the civil rights movement to do something off the beaten path, out of the box with a push toward selma. but also in the way we designed those shots with real intention to get you stuck in your seat and make you watch this thing in a way that you do

it is colder in birmingham, alabama then it is here. so again, you know, everybody or at least a lot of people are dealing with what this arctic blast has had to offer up here. meanwhile we do expect a 20 degrees. that is bad enough. that is a solid 20 below our seasonal average but feel no better than single digits for everyone. tomorrow moderation but the wind kicks right back in so it feels like the teens anyway back the two lower 20's sat the day. we will finally approach seasonal on monday but is there a chance we will see rain or snow showers with a new storm by monday. so the the the hits just keep on coming in one way, shape or form for sure. if you love watching the weather we want to you join our team of weather watchers. e your name on the big board. you can sign up by heading to our web site at cbs philly.com/watchers. torey, over to you. >>> good morning everyone. still a slow go on the schuylkill and i-95 primarily. rush hour is upon us and on top of rush hour we have had a few incident, vehicle fire, spin outs traveling i

alabama 50 miles from montgomery. if we visited montgomery or birmingham, i saw the signs that said white man, colored men, white womensked my father why. he said that's what it is. don't get in the way. don't get in trouble. in the 10th grade i heard of rosa parks. i heard the words of martin luther king jr. on the road. and the words of dr. king and his leadership inspired me. so i got involved in the sit-ins as a student and later the freedom rides. and later the march on washington where i was the youngest speaker at the age of 23 in 1963. and then des moines from selma to montgomery. got arrested a few times. my folks thought i had lost my mind. but i made a decision that i would do whatever i could to bring down those signs, end segregation and rid discrimination in the american south. >> you can hear more of alex's congressmen and his book "march" book two. >>> the mystery of deflated footballs. is the nfl drag its feet to find out whodunit? many empty rolls!

he brought the fight to alabama, whether it's the montgomery busboy situation or the fight in birminghams is king's movie and king's show. i think the controversy is it makes lbj seem like the one that's putting the fbi in the early '60s on king when it was bobby kennedy, the attorney general who did it. we're in a tough field in history looking for factual accuracy. seems to me with so much at stake in a wonderful film like this that some of that could have been corrected. you could go online and read 100 historical accuracies in the film. it's a hollywood movie. nobody's expecting it to be accurate. but it's in my view blaming lyndon johnson for having a kind of bigoted attitude that he never had. and it certainly didn't have when he supported the civil rights act of 1957 and he deserves a lot of credit johnson, for selma. and andrew young has said exactly what i'm saying. >> gill robertson, douglas brinkley, thank you both. wolf blitzer is here with a preview of "the situation room." today you're examining north korea's military threats and you have the state department's spokeswoman
