dr. king ain't no different. if you think you know dr. king and you don't know how he traverse evidence, navigated -- traversed, navigated the darkest and mow remost difficult days of his life, you don't know him. king did not have a dream speech in 1963. he is dead in 1968. that's five more years. so if you have him frozen in some frame at the lincoln memorial, at the march on washington, framed in '63, you don't who his. for the next five years he evolved on a whole lot of things. the man who said "i have a dream eye" said his dream had become a night mire. that's what martin said. the man who was responsible for integration, harry bell fontty, i believe we have integrated into a burning house. integrated into a burping house. hold on to you seat right quick. something else martin said you ain't going to believe but it's real. hold on. you going to hit you hard. >> the last call that martin made from this location, the lower rain motel -- low rain motel, was alabama back to his church in atlanta to speak to his secretary. talk to his dad

[laughter] you say to king, you know, you'd be 85 years old really dr. king. and you say,ohnson there's no way. 114. you would -- there's nobody 114. and king says, i'm right here. here.always been watching. and now, wouldn't you know it, the security coming in, here comes the press, washington. the t.v.sudden with cameras. they've seen what's happened in the room. and here comes the press and they've got all kinds of questions. they start shouting at this johnson. know, ronald reagan said that you would have declared a war on poverty in the 1960's, but poverty won. do you say to that, president johnson? what do you say about people who entitlementt an culture? and then people turn and they after dr. king. what do you have to say about ferguson, dr. king? what do you have to say about sharpton and jackson? you have to say about louis farrakhan? and you can see the men, these looking as if they're lost and just dumbfounded by these questions. just dumbfounded. but they turn back to you and say, tell us about community action today, 50 years later. you doing abou

and then dr. king grabs the television and he says change a the channel again, because he does know anything about a remote. now you find yourself changing the channels. it goes to the et and mtv and comedy channel and you are seeing everything from real housewives. dr. king is just holding his head. he looks like his head will blow off. he is seeing women in jail, "orange is the new black," pregnant teenagers. then he gets over and here come the rappers and the comedians, the n-word constantly. dr. king asks this is what they put on television? this is the worst of us. why would they put this on television? this is bottom feeding. you decide, these guys are having a rough day. i'm going to get them some water. i'm going to get them some water, because they are looking ashen, sunken, fading, and now they're whispering and saying things to you in whispers. you go outside, you get the water, you come back in, and there is nothing but the canes. you think, what happened to these men? so you come back here

dr. king david oyelowo. >> he was an american hero but he didn't walk around in his life thinking i'm a hero i'm an icon i'm a historical figure. he was a man with flawings, with failings with witnesses, with transcendent qualities as well. but where i connected with him is, you know he's a man of faith. i'm a man of faith. i'm a father of four. he was a father of four. and these were my entry points. he lived a life of not just talking about it, but actually doing it. >> rose: we conclude this evening with pat ribling-- patricia clarkson who stars in "the elephant man" with bradley cooper. >> i walk on stage every night as miss kendall and i have lived this life, in my own personal way. every night when i walk out there, i bring what i have lived in these 54 years it's a lot. and i'm thankful for that because every single night i bring that to the stage. >> rose: david oyelowo and patricia clarkson when we continue. funding for charlie rose has been provided by the following: additional fundi

dr. king. when teefourteen comes to memphis you often go to pray at the site because dr. king and so much to his life and continues to mean so much. if you have never met him you have got to know he is down to earth. just like your brother the person you always want to talk to. and teefourteen gave some of the most thoughtful commentary i have never heard. he is the brilliant man and has been for a long time. i know in some ways he has said whether controversial but he always speaks truth to power. but that is what i love about him. for me personally much like a brother i mitt his mother who he brought to the museum if you are a ben bradlee in the room i have heard of since i first heard him and did not know him so i want to introduce you to some of them present to others a man who is an icon in his own time and is not that old. icons are usually older he already is and it is a privilege and an honor to welcome him back to the national civil rights museum, my friend, mr. cornel west.

and so, dr. king would have a lot to say about the american empire, about to say about us, 50 years -- almost 50 years after his death. what did wed see in ferguson, missouri, the other day, racism, poverty, militarism. we have some work that has to be done. i hoch that this book, "death of a coining" will allow you see the journey he walked, and when he tried to tell his troops, everybody turned against him and on him. he kept getting up every day speaking his truth anyway, and how things finally concluded that he rather be dead than be afraid. those were his words. i'd rather be dead than be afraid. king said, i have no control. you have no control. over where you die or when you die or how you die. you only control what you die for. and i come to believe in my life -- this is tavis speaking -- better to live for a cause than just because. that means you have to be willing to speak the truth. to seek it, to speak it, to stand on it, and stay with it. and for those who think that somehow we hating on

dr. king was a tremendous leader, no question about it. you know, we don't think of the world the same way prior to martin luther king that he think of the world now. dr. king was the first person ever in the history of the world to say war is wrong, for example. no one had ever said that before. even jesus said we will have wars and rumors of wars. dr. king said, war is evil. it destroys communities. it destroys people. it destroys civilization. it destroys the land. it is a corruption of natural law. he said war is wrong. and we just don't think about war the same way now that folks thought about it before dr. king made that kind of analysis. he changed the perspective about that. and the power of nonviolence. we think of that differently after dr. king. gandhi in india had established the paradigm for nonviolence but it was dr. king that brought it to international, you know, awareness through the civil rights movement. you know. people lived during the times, they live during their ages. and we can't take them out of those ages and put

the first time i met john lewis was on the set of selma and i was stressed like dr. king. dr. king, it is so nice to see you again. i think i met you in 1957, or was it 58? he just had this moment with me and i could see how much he missed his friend. >> as long as i am unable to exercise my constitutional right to vote, i cannot determine my own destiny what is determined for me. for those who would rather see me suffer than six seed. -- succeed. that means protests, that means disturb the peace, that means jail. that means risk. we will not wait any longer. give us the vote. we are not asking, we are demanding. >> i think it was a director who said, it is a story about voice. >> it is about the people making their voice known. it is about a leader giving a voice to the voiceless. it is about humanity coming together to say enough is enough. that is what you see when dr. king asks for people who do not have a conscious -- conscience. help us tell the nation, help us tell the president this is not ok. there were people whose voices were trampled upon. all of these means by whic

dr. king's leadership and what that movement was able to do. fe is also different because of what booker t. washington was able to do. and in fact, martin luther king credited booker t. washington with some of the successes of the early parts of the civil rights movement because some of the movement was economic justice. later on when dr. king was assassinated, he was planning a poor people's march on washington. and the whole thing was to march 250,000 people to washington, d.c. and bring the united states government to a halt, lay down on runways so planes couldn't take off and that kind of stuff. and the demand was that everyone in america be guaranteed a minimum livable wage. that was what the king movement the civil rights movement ultimately ended at that point of saying we must have economic justice and there should be a guaranteed salary no matter whether you flipping hamburgers or lecturing before c-span. there ought to be a guaranteed minimum salary u for everybody in america. and so when you look at that, that smacks a little booker t

dr. martin luther king, jr., and others. we met with the leadership on both sides of the capital, house leadership, senate leadership, democrats, and republicans. if you have an opportunity to visit my office in the cannon house building, you will see a photograph of that morning with dr. martin luther king, jr., roy wilkins, rabbi prince, eugene carson blake, britney young, and young john lewis. [laughter] talking with the republican leader. if someone had told me then that one day i would be standing here in statuary hall being honored by the united states capitol historical society, i would have told them, "you're crazy, you're out of your mind, you don't even know what you're talking about." each time i come into this place -- and i have been here a while. i have been in congress for almost 28 years. i feel more than lucky. i feel blessed. each day i am here, i learn more and more about the significance of this building, the paintings, the statues, the different rooms. sometimes i feel these statues are speaking to me an

one of the architects of the new south, the day dr. kingave his address in washington, the south was under military occupation. the reason the minister said do not stop talking about the dream. d.c. was under military occupation, lock down that day. troops had been ordered to be on guard at the train station. the bus station. the airport. a car did not have a tag of d.c., maryland or virginia they were stopped and profiled. the day he gave that speech from texas across to florida to southern maryland, we could not use the public toilet or rent a room at the holiday inn. we cannot buy ice cream at howard johnson. black soldiers and latinos set behind -- our money was counterfeited. against those odds, marion volunteered to be an unarmed soldier in the army for justice. he was not killed as was better evidence a -- as medgar evars and dr. king. and malcolm. every soldier is a wounded soldier, but when the war is over, the unknown soldier had won the war. in the same south, the carolina panthers can play the falcons and the cowboys can play th

dr. martin luther king, jr. and amended piece in the face of war -- demanded peace in the face of war, solidarity in the face of division, and love in the face of hate. that was in a time of injustice done against american and -- african americans who felt the american system was lost. they felt it would be easier to tear down the structure of the old. for all of america's shortcomings, john lewis stood with those demanding the promise of america not be discarded but instead realized in full by being purified in practice. inlewis said to the crowd 1963 during the march on washington, he wanted the people to protest across the nation. comes, untilreedom the revolution of 1776 was complete." the designs and principles of our founders are good, though our nation fell short for far too long. we honor john lewis today, not as a revolutionary, but as one, to paraphrase dr. king, came to cash the check the architects of our republic wrote, the promissory note demanding every american is guaranteed the right of liberty,

it's a story about dr. kings most americans don't know and issue he faced, moral dilemmas that dr. king had to come up against starting with whether or not he's going to come out against the vietnam war if 1967. a lot of dilemmas. he used this line in the text, and i find myself wrestling with this. again, back to your film. king says, there's evil in the best of us and good in the worst of us. there's evil in the best of us and good in the worst of us. we're human. because we're human, we're fassible, we make mistakes. if i had been nina -- again, i don't want to give the movie away -- had to make a decision like the one she to make, if i had made that decision -- not giving the movie away -- how, i live with myself after that. in another way, how do you make decision that's aren't always right and live with yourself and not beat yourself up for that decision for the rest of your life if you think you had no other choice? >> right right right. exactly. i think it's different for every person. i think for nina s

but at the same time dr. king once wrote a book called "why we can't wait." i would recommend to the president and all the rest of us that we read that book about what king was saying 50 years ago about why we can't wait. and in time, as you know, there are two dimensions to time. there's chronos, the passage of time. and then there's chiros, an appropriate right critical moment in time. this is a chiros moment for this president and for all of us quite frankly and we can't mission, this don. we've got to step -- >> tavis, i want to ask you this because the children of eric garner were on tonight and they were smiling. are you saying the president can't be multidimensional? because you mentioned stephen colbert and then you mentioned going on b.e.t.? he can't be multidimensional dealing with this situation? >> no, what i'm saying is i'd like to know when this b.e.t. interview was scheduled. most folk were unaware of it. it sort of came out of nowhere. it wasn't mentioned in the listings. i don't know what the motivation was for doing that. what i'm suggesting

dr. martin luther king's untimely death in 1968. moreover she bore witness to trials entry galatians that came with public life and the hard decisions that followed as she and dr. abernathy renegotiated their social identities and adjusted their positions in the post-civil rights years. in truth, no one can tell this story with the label of integrity and intimacy better than mrs. abernathy herself. that said, i will hand the podium over to the lady of the hour mrs. juanita jones abernathy.

the argument dr. king makes in the letter is that african-americans had waited long enough and people in power were always telling him, wait a little longer. wait a little longer. he wrote the first drafts on scraps of paper in the jail. those were taken out, typed up. unfortunately, those handwritten drafts were thrown away as the document was being typed up. once dr. king left jail, he did more work on the letter. there are various versions of the letter where he crafted it he edited it. and then over the summer of 1963 it was published. portions were published in various newspapers and magazines. it was circulated as a mimeograph. then in the fall of 1963 it was published in this booklet published by the friend society, by the quakers. this has the full text of the letter. it also has this statement from the clergymen that king was responding to. what we've looked at today is a small selection of documents out of our archives. we focused on items dealing with race, the struggle for civil rights in ameri

so many of us are steeped in the speeches of dr. king and many great leaders, but perhaps no one more definitional than dr. king. he said something so fundamental that it reminds us how to handle this moment. he said in justice everywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. this is a problem for all new yorkers, it's a problem for all americans. it has to be treated as such. anyone who says to you that this is a problem held only by people of color or pertinent to young people misses what's going on here. this is all of our problems. and anyone who believes in the values of this country should feel called to action right now. anyone who cares about justice, that american value of justice should understand is a moment of change must happen. change that is as good as the people that we represent. i just want to say in spanish.

dr. king this the '# 0s, so much of this makes you think about that history where the police had strife with the peaceful protesters. so many issues come to bear. dr. king said so many things that resonate. if you can hear him again today, we are all tied in a single garment of destiny. we are all connected. what affects one directs us all indirectly. the wisdom of leaders like dr. king should be taken into account here by everyone. police, the mayor, all the political leaders nationally, demonstrators. we can help bridge the gap. these are all good people. we can get together and do better by the country to stop injustice, help the police, paycheck the country better. >> what do you think the mayor as well as the commissioner need to do. what's the one thing you want to see from each of them that might make this better soon? >> i think once officer lu is laid to rest both the mayor and commissioner and the leads of the police union should agree to reach out, sit down and have private meetings

one of the architects of the new south, the day dr. king was under military occupation. do not stop talking about the dream. militaryunder occupation, lock down that day. troops had been ordered to be on guard at the train station. the bus station. the airport. d.c.,d not have a tag of maryland or virginia they were stopped and profiled. the day he gave that speech from texas to florida to southern use the, we could not public toilet or rent a room at the holiday inn. we cannot buy ice cream at howard johnson. black soldiers and latino set behind -- our money was counterfeited. against those odds, marion volunteered to be an unarmed soldier in the army for justice. he was not killed as was better evarsce a -- as medgar and dr. king. when the war is over, the unknown soldier had one of war. in the same south, the carolina panthers can play the falcons and the cowboys can play the dolphins and in the south, boeing can build their plants. he made the south's investment worthy and a traffic. -- an attractive. the basic and hold the olympics and

one of the architects of the new south the day dr. kingwn that day. federal troops had been ordered to be on guard at the train station. the bus station, the airport. cars didn't have a tag from d.c. or virginia or maryland, they were stopped and profiled and put under suspicion. the day

obama used in regards to dr. king is the fierce urgency of now, dr. king meant that about social resistance being pressed forward now. the president has to understand it has to be met by equally strong resistance on the part of those who want to fight for justice. >> how does this compare in the 60s and the work your father did. >> it is interesting if you hear my father's speeches about riots in the 60s and race relations in the 60s really hasn't changed that much, holds true now, you don't have to condone rioting to understand where it comes from, understand that anger and frustration. and he talked about the violence. you know, one form of violence is lighting fires and shooting bullets, but another equally destructive violence is the institution's failure to response to poverty and to give people a chance. you can understand why people feel that they don't have a shot in america at raising their children in decency, giving them a good education, giving them a good and decent jobs, those are some of the issues we really have to address. >> doctor, w

have seen with my dr. king. says are chavez, shirley jackson. john lennon or marvin gay. could have thought i'd i just got more stuff be more happy. usethere are people saying me, this is the deepest well of life experience in the history america. no other generation has been thisrich, this free, and educated. shame on us, and shame on us as second shore if we don't say instead of waiting for them to ando us we need to go out bring them in, because this is a powerful opportunity. you've got 100 people under 30. to reiterate, the biggest general nergs the history of america, the most diverse generation in the mystery of america will soon be the most en mostated and the technologically these are minimum and raised doing service, and make no mistake, the generation that got barack obama not once, but twice -- every single election, you're getting 16 million to 20 million new voters. people who still believe in the american dream. interesting as it may sound or as far-fetched, i believe that there is a surprising shared interest between those who are old and those who are you

dr. martin luther king and the march in selma and talk with the actor playing dr. he was an american hero but he didn't walk around in his life thinking i'm a hero i'm an icon i'm a historical figure. he was a man with flawings, with failings with witnesses, with transcendent qualities as well. but where i connected with him is, you know he's a man of faith. i'm a man of faith. i'm a father of four. he was a father of four. and these were my entry points. he lived a life of not just talking about it, but actually doing it. >> rose: we conclude this evening with pat ribling-- patricia clarkson who stars in "the elephant man" with bradley cooper. >> i walk on stage every night as miss kendall and i have lived this life, in my

you can't wait on dr. king to come back. it's not going to happen. >> let me ask you this. if there are merits to both kinds of movements, ultimately there's nothing like a ballot box. if you look back at the 2013 municipal election, the african-american turnout was 26%. if i recall -- in ferguson. if i recall, that was somewhat mirrored around the country as well. so ultimately, if change has to happen, charles blow from "the new york times" said, sure, ultimately someone has got to get moving and who is going to push towards the ballot box in the political process? >> i think voting is important. voting is what gets you on those juries so you can make different decision when it comes to the michael browns or trayvon martins of the world. voting helps you get the type of leadership and police force that you want. voting does matter. we should all register to vote. remember, public accommodations didn't come from people coming from the ballot box. it didn't come from the ballot box. it came from people on the ground willing to risk their lives. those laws were co-signed and

. >> because dr. king and many leaders in this country today know this, whether it's charles or religious leaders, they know that violence turns an ear to need to listen deaf. the people stop listening. they will ignore a situation when people turn to violence. it ends the discussion. what's happened this past week in new york city and other cities, people are protesting. protests are disruptive. we were talking, you could hear protests in the streets. that speaks volume tos to me. that's when america will listen and change, i think. >> not when they block the west side highway or all exits. >> that's an inconvenience, but it's not violence, it's not looting or stealing. >> ben stine, so great to see you. >> honored to be here. when i think of martin luther king jr., i think of a lion, a man of peace and destiny. when i think of al sharpton, a weasel. his purpose is self-promotion. he doesn't care if he's lighting fires or what the consequences are as long as it promotes him. the fact president obama is li

dr. martin lr king, jr.ust got back to berlin, germany the reason you had the fall of the walls is president mikkel gore khof was. [ inaudible ] by the civil rights movement. the movement has been removed, relinquished from our society. from all of ethnicity and background. people thought we had arrived. but i am here to say that the civil rights movement would always be needed within society. and that's why we are here today as the southern christian leadership conference. >> association mr. steele, first of all as we continues our conversation i want to roll in pictures of a protesting happening right now in boston, liver pictures from boston a demonstration that's happening right now. you know, there was a lot of anger expressed by the police union, we just aired a bit of that moments ago about the comments from the mayor of new york, bill de blasio, the police union here in new york believes it's been thrown under the bus, that all the officers have been thrown under the bus by the mayor here. i need you

dr. king's infidelity through core etta scott king, through that perspective. >> my approach to the infidelities go and face her after this? >> she is joined by fellow producer oprah winfrey who co-stars adds activist annie lee cooper. >> knock it off. >> oprah, you have worked with many directors. what is it about her that stood out with you? >> i think the thing that ava has is the quality that everybody looks for in their friends. you hope that you can get it in a boss, in other relationships. she is a great validator. because everybody in life is looking to know that they matter. what she is able to do is make every person, regardless of if they're the star, david oyelowo, or whether you're an extra who's never been on a movie set before, feel like you are special. that you are valued. and that your being here really matters to this film. >> okay, now rise behind him. you got to look for him. remember, i told you, i got to tell this funny story. we're out with the extras and doing the scene with the racists. and you're trying to get the people. and they're lovely people. white people who hav
