before the civil rights movement there were all kinds of activities that took place here. the baptist church was built in the 1880's. some letters to the editor saying every going to let black people go to church right here on market street? the election of jefferson davis and the organization of the confederacy. the martin luther king memorial. the leader of the whole civil really sprangt from that church. you have a wonderful contrast. one of those strange parallels. selma as thefrom civil rights movement changed from the focus on transportation to focus on voting. the marchers came. at saint jude's just a little bit west of town. through the streets of montgomery. they came through court square. this thoroughfare is main street because some any things that happened here. it is a national main street as well. aspects ofbeautiful the issues of civil war and civil rights. both in the same locale. we are want to take all the credit or all the blame. our cities to her staff recently traveled to montgomery, alabama, to learn about its rich history. you're watching american hi

civil rights. that this is actually a logical extension of the civil rights movement and that in fact african americans and others who experienced the benefits of progress on the civil rights front should be joining with gays and lesbians for similar reasons. can you reflect on that? >> sure. >> do you think it's a legitimate comparison? >> oh, absolutely. and i think -- but i think historical perspective is really necessary to have. i don't say that african americans are enjoying this thing that came to them. what i'm saying is that they pushed open the gates to freedom by getting people finally to deal with what equal citizenship means. the promise of equal citizenship was an enormous citizens' movement. and when they did and people started saying what does equal citizenship mean, they started saying why is it that women can't go to the ivy league colleges? >> right. why is it that women can't serve on juries in most states? >> right. >> why is it that the want ads are divided help wanted male, help wanted female and that most of the help wanted female ads were for girl friday in the "the new york ti

my father told me during the civil rights movement, cops would rate the headquarters of the naacp. they would lay down on the ground when lights went off and grabbed the hand of the person to the right and the person to the left, and then they would start to seeing. before i will be a slave, i will be there at in my grave. i will go home to my lord. that is courage in the face of fear. that first tool is commitment, and that second tool is courage. the third tool for people need to have in the arsenal is faith. we have got to believe that something bigger than ourselves -- i have to be transparent, when i was younger i was convinced the world revolved around me. people were stupid cannot figure that out.

in the 1950's the civil rights movement really does begin to militantly challenge southern white supremacy and jim crow laws. the leaders of these movements, the leaders of the labor movement and the civil rights movement, these are veterans of the new deal and world war ii. they had not forgotten the promise of the four freedoms. in 1960 the democratic party offers possibly its most progressive platform since 1944. kennedy is not the liberal that many of us might of wished for. but the democrats were poised to make history. lyndon johnson, southern white democrat, but had been a new dealer. in spite of his reputation as a southerner, he never actually voted against civil rights. when he becomes president he amazes his fellow citizens by redeeming the roosevelt vision at least to some extent. in the 1960's. in 1935 those that we think of as the greatest generation were 15 years old. in 1965 they are 45 years old. they are the ones who enacted medicare and medicaid, expanded social security. reform to the immigration laws. they created the environmental protection agency. many of them had b

which had been a bastion of which were white workers through itself into the black and brown civil rights movements. they supported demonstrations and even called -- demand that the governor of texas call a special session to address civil rights. i don't have time to go into all the activities of this coalition, but the book will be out in august and available at a bookstore near you. say that these networks that were established remain robust throughout the decade and grew the 70's. these are photos again from the united farm workers procession from the valley to austin in 1966. this story looks rather different through the multiracial lens. the photo on the right shows the state's most recognizable militant leader in the states ,lack civil rights union greeting mexican american farmworkers. he a just led a march from east texas and timed it to meet the mexican-american farmworkers when they arrived on labor day. you can see on the left, another photograph amidst the eagle, signs from the afl-cio and from the naacp. came together to demand this minimum wage increase as well as civil rights and la

teacher of black politics in america, it's ironic that bernie sanders campaign is the closest to civil rights movement has ever gotten to the white house. and it's ironic that the black electorate is expected to prevent it from happening. i say this because barack obama does not represent the civil rights movement agenda. it was part of the agenda to have a black president but obama was not a part of that agenda. jesse jackson was but he didn't get this far. bernie sanders in chicago is clearly every bit as much as those men are. this is the closest they've gotten to the white house but it's the nonwhite vote that ironically expected to prevent the civil rights movement from making it to the white house. that's something we need to talk about going forward. >> last question, brian, if trump does become the nominee, what do you think is going to happen? do you think the gop will unite behind him even though he's been so controversial? >> at the end of the day if he gets the nomination, i think most of the gop will have to rally around him. it would be the gop's nominee but it's going to be one of those

. >> if you think about the timeline of a modern-day civil rights movement, the beginning of that movement being 1954 brown versus board of education and the apex of the movement be the assassination of dr. king in 1968, the freedom ride is right in the middle of that history. it was the halfway point for those events. what happened here on the streets of montgomery really became a turning point for the movement. the freedom rise was a civil rights campaign to challenge the segregated laws in interstate travel across the south. the freedom rides again with two groups of integrated people, blacks and whites, leaving on greyhound buses traveling through the deep south to test whether the facilities and the modes of transportation work, and were compliant with the recent supreme court ruling in which the supreme court outlaws segregation in interstate travel. the groups that left washington, d.c. on may 4, 1961 would travel through the deep south and would arrive in new orleans on may 17, 1961, which would be the seventh anniversary of the brown versus board of education impaired as they left

that kurds reflects the core of the civil rights movement.oday, we posture recognize -- we pause to recognize those who took a stand for voting rights and equality. 1965 showoldiers of that these marchers carried the banner -- the foot soldiers of to5 carried the banner selma, and we honor their strength and acts of selflessness. honor, take the time to in my mind, the outstanding footsoldier, a man i deeply admire. congressman john lewis.

civil rights song called "now" that was banned from the radio in several states. the enemies of civil rights had very powerful weapons at their disposal, but the civil rights movemente high moral ground early, and the long arc of justice ultimately turned towards the american blacks. the larger and more systemic aspects of official racism were defeated in what could be called a second civil war. it was a strange war waged on one side by churches, children and young people and waged on the other by murderers, there arists, snarling dogs and fire hoses. despite assassinations and too many martyrs, voting rights were achieved, and jim crow was officially dismantled. by 1973 the thety of atlanta -- the city of atlanta, the city that famously became too busy to hate, had a black mayor, and former students of the atlanta university manifesto were now in charge of the municipality. although the 1970s were personally mournful years for lena who lost her father and husband and son between 1971 and 1972, the 1980s saw another extraordinary change in the career of moses calhoun's great granddaughter. she opened in a one-woman broadway show that brought her every honor and acc

leaders of the civil rights movement have been enthusiastic advocates. black caucus don' t get a vote but have an opportunity to speak out. and they have spoken enthusiastically about president obama' s nominee. we have confident that we have people on the left enthusiastic about the nomination. republicans on the right who have spoken favorably. it means the president followthrough to put forward a consensus nominee. will republicans follow through on their promise not to do their job? that' s got to change. fernando: the president is going to be in cuba. what is his objective? what is he trying to do? >> it will be an historic trip. the last time a president traveled to cuba, he had to do it on a battleship. president obama will be flying to cuba. it will be an opportunity to the u.s. had pursued a policy of trying to isolate cuba. and get them to do a better job of respecting basic human rights of the cuban people. it has not brought about the kinds of changes we would like to see. a little over a year ago, the president announced a change that we will do even our engagement with t

that's the one exception to that rule and that becomes a very powerful example for post war civil rights movements. america has a huge effect in terms of what happens on the battlefield, even though -- the debate isn't, does america matter in terms of the final victory. i think when you think about just the training issues the american army has, the question we should ask is, was -- how high was the cost for americans to have that effect? and what is always interesting about world war i you have the deadliest battle in american history, a 47-day battle at the end of the war. america is victorious but that's america's deadliest battle. nobody knows that. about that is doubly interesting is that very few people raise the we i would it was so deadly after the war. in the french case, the british case, you have the generals criticized for the high death tolls they allowed under their watch. pershing kind of walked away unscathed. nobody comes and says you did the wrong thing in terms of sacrificing these lives. did these men really have to die? the question is not that -- excuse me -- the issue is not

african american veterans come home and energized the civil rights movement and entirely new direction with new leadership and new ideas have not transformed civil rights movement in the united states. world war i does matter in american has jury. it actually is a pivotal can't let up a lot more that attempts to get for most readers of american has jury. -- american history. >> the idea actually came from the editor at the "oc weekly" at the time. he would ask me questions about mexican because i was the only latino and staff -- the only person of color. so i would always answer that it's silly stuff like what does this word mean in spanish, why do mexicans like paris doesn't talk is so much. he said there's a lot of ignorant people who have questions that we should make fun of them. why don't we do a column called "ask a mexican" to more people than your questions about mexicans and you're able to answer them. i wasn't offended by the idea. i didn't want to do it at first because i didn't think anyone would care. in journalism you wanted to use tories about -- the people i care about

martin luther king and his ideals, and i was active in the civil rights movement. i couldn't quite really thatstand how and why incarceration happened. i had many long discussions with my father after dinner, and i must say, my father was a very unusual japanese-american of his generation because so many japanese-americans who experienced the internment as adults and felt the pain, didn't want to inflict that pain and their anguish on to their children, so they didn't talk about it. surprise, i have talked to many younger japanese-americans who saw our musical, "allegiance," my came up to me and said grandma or grandpa were in camp, but that was all i knew because they did not share it. and i learned about my family's history and why my parents did not want to talk about it, for the first time by saying "allegiance." they knew nothing about the loyalty questionnaire. to give you some background on the loyalty questionnaire, right after the bombing of pearl harbor, young japanese-americans like all young americans, rust to their recruitment centers to volunteer to s

like donald trump has said stupid things and haley barber who said he didn't remember the civil rights movement being all that bad. i don't paint all liberals alike. i know it sounds like it because my book is a critique orn the democratic party. but for black americans, do a little homework. there is a rich relationship with the party of lincoln and black americans. lincoln and lis republican party was created because they wanted to break away from the wigs who wanted to expand slaves out west. lincoln wanted parody like martin luther king. there is a history there and a reason why black americans like me believe fundamentally believe the policies the conservatives offer empower us more than the democrats. you see after president obama's two term black americans are frustrated. travis smilely and others are saying i don't know if he delivered on the promise he made. and do we deserve to give him over 90% of our vote? this is a good thing. i think everybody should have their eyes wide open. i am a republican but it does mean you will earn my vote just because you have an r near your name. no ot

johnson, obviously, but you describe his appeal as based on white southern male backlash to the civil rights movement. does trump reflect that? >> guest: he does often reflect that. some of his language goes back to richard nixon's language unt law and order. he has specifically used that language. gold water was the most consequential running mate in history because he altered the republican party. the republican party was the party of lincoln, civil rights, and african-americans. when barry gold water came along, even though he wasn't a racist. he was a decent man and supported local civil rights law in phoenix but was against a federal civil rights bill and echoeded the segregation in this because he was in favor of state laws and thought civil right laws interfered with pub linebacker property laws. suddenly the map changed and the make-up of the two parties changed. southern white segregationist who were on a long flight from the democratic party shifted to the republican and that called for the realignment in the north where first african-americans left in groves. gold water got 6% of the afric
