johnson says to dr. king, i couldn't have done anything until you got down there and mobilized the people. the whole mood of the country changed. your movement aroused them so i could go before congress in that night session. he said, that was the greatest thing that ever happened. king is saying, absolutely right. getting responsive government, that is what america is about. just president obama, it is up to us too. >> i think the two major changes in our political culture today that make it harder for president obama than it was for president johnson, one is that in the old days they formed friendships over party lines. they weren't rushing home to raise money for these campaign costs which i am convinced are the poison in the system today. [applause] how much time the stupid people -- i shouldn't say stupid people. how much time our congressmen and senators spend time raising money. television exacerbates it. -- they look at each other with tribal alliances rather than friendships. that makes it harder. i

there was probably more tension between dr. king and thurgood marshall then there was between king and johnson. thurgood marshall, he felt very uncomfortable with us breaking the law. the concept of civil disobedience was not something he adhered to. the first time i read an article about civil disobedience was written by harris morford in the howard university law review. i always thought he was black. [laughter] >> it is that famous exchange between wilkins and dr. king about, wilkins demanding to know, what have you desegregated? dr. king's reply, only a few human hearts. one of the hearts was apparently john kennedy's. >> i would like to say that he was moved by dr. king's words and example in the movement. after birmingham, demonstrations spread over to 200 cities like wildfire. president kennedy said there were even demonstrations on military bases overseas. we are your going to -- we are either going to put it out one at a time or bite the bullet. i think the sympathetic demonstrations that spread from birmingham created the

and dr. king would say when i talk to president kennedy he asked questions for an hour, but when i go to see president johnson he talks for an hour. [laughter] he said he knows what he wants to do and he knows what -- he said, i don't have to convince him of anything, but i think their only tension was i think johnson would have liked to have taken the poverty program, aid to education, all of those issues first and then come back to voting. and that was one point of tension. we didn't really have that choice. i mean, we didn't like the sit-ins, you know? we didn't like the back of the bus. there would have been much more relevant issues, but we were subject to the pressures of the people. and -- i mean, there was so much going on. well, we saw it on bloody sunday. >> yes. >> that was a nazilike community. >> you have said that the movement in the streets and the grassroots effort that was so widespread across the country was drafting the '64 bill azurely as the all white lawyers in the justice de

dr. kinglcolm x. all of those things come in. he has a deep love of poor black people and a deep love of social justice. tavis: how much of his path, versus the path of king that we know so well -- and we will come of his pathow much has to do with his age? was dead at 39. bywas seen as old and passÉ the black power generation. how much of that has to do with his age and era? he is 19 when he is arrested and is a young man. by the time he is a revolutionary, he is 24 years old. he goes to africa in london -- and london and is hanging out with dr. king and dr. benjamin spock. he is having an amazing life. he becomes the leader of a youth movement that is not just black. students for a democratic society. stokely becomes the leading anti-war protester in the united states. tavis: in many ways, he pushes dr. chang in the direction of being warble will -- dr. kane in the direction of being more vo cal. >> the headline and enormous rally that is the most important rally in the 1960's. dr. king, sto

[applause] they knew would mean sacrifice and struggle for their family. for many across the country, the kings would insist on the truth that all men and women are created equal. dr. king was not only nonviolent in his action but nonviolent in his words. that was a source of great a, andth to him and corett the movement. when the act was passed we never --some of youf were born. we would never dream that on this 50th anniversary we would look out in the mall, and there would be a monument, a memorial

president johnson had enormous respect for dr. king. they worked closely together to pass the civil rights act, the voting rights act, what we are celebrating this week, 50 years later. our panelists to discuss the relationship between these two men is about as good as it gets. first, doris concerns goodwin, a pulitzer prize winning author, a former member of the lbj white house staff and one of the first members of the white house fellows program that was created by president johnson and by john gardener. joe califano, who served as domestic affairs advisor, better put, domestic affairs

dr. king was a man of action. he was also a man of love. he was a man of peace. dr. king believed that we could only overcome the vicious violence of this nation by believing in each other, by loving each other. by literally loving the hell out of each other. he wasn't a ma'am bee pamby we are the world kind of figure who believed in love. his love was entrenched and rooted in the belief that god would give strength to those who were willing to stand up for justice, for truth and righteousness. this is why dr. king said i am a drum major for those good things. but we have to give up the arrogance to presume our way is the only way. when people nowadays go about social movements and compare themselves to dr. king, they're doing a grand disservice. because dr. king didn't use his christian beliefs to make this a christian nation. he used his religious beliefs to make this a just nation. he could work with a person who was an atheist better than he could work with a person who claimed to be a chr
