one notabley absent was diane nash. explained why. >> the march, the photographers i was all set to much. they had me on the front line. and then george bush came out and got in the march, and i left. [cheers and applause] i determine that i was not marching anywhere with george bush. the selma movement stands for nonviolence and peace and democracy and fairness and voting rights, and george bush stands for just the opposite. he stands for violence and war and stolen elections. and, for goodnessis administration had people tortured. i think this occasion was not appropriate for him to be here. i think for him to appear to be leading people involved in the nonviolent movement in this country for a photograph to go across the world would make it look as though we have sold out. i think that is an insult to people whose lives were taken. reverend reed, jimmy lee jackson . it is an insult to me, and i think it is an insult to everybody who really does believe in nonviolence. that being said, i want to mention just a couple

i was talking with bob moses and diane nash earlier.deming that people understand what their interests are and will show up across parties, across racial groups, across what seemed to be desperate interests but saying no more. >> you have come to a place where it's about our moral center. voting rights, television the key of our democracy. we have seen republicans, democrats, black and whites come together. but the other thing, selma we didn't change washington, d.c. from d.c. down. we changed it from selma up. we believe we neat state-based fusion movements that right now. that's why moral monday has spread to about 12 other states. we're going back in a major way to push particularly. you're concerned about criminal justice reform, you have to be concerned about voting rights. education, voting rights. this is selma. we say north carolina is selma today. and the nation -- if you want to see what they will do how far they will go look at this bill that was crafted by tom thilillis. now that the headache has been removed. that's what th

diane nash says to me, i love what black lives matter is doing.where we were at one point. they will have their successes and they absolutely understand themselves as connected to the movement that occurred here. >> i wouldn't discount the power of sort of the pop culture. listen, we are not a culture, we are a country that knocks down our historic buildings. we don't preserve our past the way a lot of other countries do. we talk to very young kids. melissa and i both met kids that were 8 years old and they've seen that movie. when i pointed to diane nash and i said that woman was in the movie. when you go back, they were fascinated by it. people are hungry for it. >> when congressman lewis walked out, we didn't have to introduce him. >> well, you bring up a good point, joy, about the movie and i want to bring you back in and clint because how pivotal is that movie going to be especially for the younger generation that is just now learning about it. >> you saw what happened at the academy awards. what i want to say, though, beyond that the point t

and now with so much education on it and get to meet john lewis and ambassador andrew young and diane nash but we got to meet the people. it was like wow, we are connected to the movie. i felt like "selma" the film is an extension of what they created during that time period. that film is educating younger people of what happened people that didn't know. and it's also raising the conversation of where we are right now. and, obviously, all these situation happening in america is raising the conversation. >> jon: you mean that racism is over. >> year it's over. yeah. >> jon: yeah. >> is that what it is? ( laughter ) that's what we call it. >> jon: what it is, we just happened to catch the last-- the last one of it on an iphone. that's all. just-- >> that's the last-- that's the end of it. credits go right there. >> jon: the young boys went o the bus went you know what, racism is over. but let's do the last one. do you want to be the last? >> that was the last song for racism. we hope so. >> jon: yeah, no. it must be odd-- what i always find interesting is there is the movement now to take th
