dr. king is assassinated on thursday, april 4, 1968 at the lorraine motel. ,mmediately after his death many began to feel that they had received those minor increases after the life of the man was taken and what it did do was showcased to america that a nonviolent movement created a violent response. of the five political assassinations of the decade, dr. king's is the only one that resulted in violent uproar in its immediate aftermath. it's stained on america, this assassination, the pillar of , reallynonviolence here prompting the mayor and other local lawmakers to fix this. 12 days later the city of memphis reaches a strike resolution with the sanitation workers. they are given a very minor raise with that are working conditions and costumes. as of last year the sanitation workers, 13 or 14 of them finally receive a pension for their service. today sanitation workers in the city face a completely different haveience than they would 50 years ago. they receive pensions, better working wages,

in march of 1968, dr. king to come to memphis to give a speech, and he was so impressed by the unity of the movement in memphis, and we keen in mind in 1968, dr. king had been widely criticized as being irrelevant. that his philosophy of non-violence no longer worked, and the black power movement was gaining steam, and so, the civil rights movement across the united states had fractured. but he comd to memphis and seed a unified civil rights coalition, and he's so impressed he says i want to come back and lead a march. so they quickly organize a march for protest march for march 28, 1968, and this hand bill gives us -- tells people who are going to participate in the march what to do, where to gather, where to start, and so it just provides the civil rights movements position on the march, what they were trying to accomplish, and how they were trying to organize the march. there were so many people who showed up for this march it quickly after dr. king arrived it turned violent. there werefo young people, black

when it came to the peace movement you know and the whole you know -- common demonstration when dr. king came out against the war you know people forget. we look t at the vietnam war now as being unjust war but in its day most americans most african-americans supported the war and ernest was one of them so heca wasn't that different yu know is the movement started becoming more militant in early 60s the freedom riders and the national and a lot of direct action there were more conservative old per people in the movement who were very reluctant and there was a kaition studydy for a lot of waysic, you know turning new grungd as adam is with a lot of ground there for otherses to look at but, i mean, how the leadership of the naacp and champions for civil rights in this leadership but nonetheless therm more of a conservative accommodation as mindset and they did not want, they have a mutual interest -- with fbi keeping unregs and what happened in civilol ma they didt want unrest in birmingham they wanted it more steady gradual course is what they wanted to take. so in that way ernest was old

dr. king say that if you're going to keep somebody down in the ditch, you got to keep one foot down there to keep them down. but why don't we all just get up on the curb and sidewalk and try to walk together? i got elected when nobody thought i had a chance, and it poured down rain. everything was going against me. and suddenly we had a 74% black turnout, and i was trying to get 10% of the white vote, and we got 14%. >> yeah. >> and lo and behold, everything changed. >> yeah. you think that kind of thing can happen again in. >> i think it will happen. >> is he right? he says we need a multi-racial coalition. do you think we'll see that come this election this year? >> i love the kind of campaigns that stacey abrams and gillum are running in florida, particularly stacey abrams. it's like a nuke democratic playbook where she's saying and others are saying to some extent, let's not just go and try to find more sort of centrist independent soft republican white voters. let's enfranchise the people

one was working in a position of management at the label that had marched with dr. king60's. it was hard to ignore what was going on in the outside world. they get thrown into the mix right away april 5 with the unrest in the city. the mayor's office for the first time acknowledges stax records and called them and asked if they can provide artists to go on to the largest black radio to go to thee area station to calm people down so that the rioting did not get worse. while stax participated in that and did their part, it was with a lot of sadness and anger. things began to change after that. the front door that was always open was closed. what you see in 1968 and after is the company was starting to embrace their role within the black community. it was their job to take care of the people buying their records. the majority of the people buying their records were black. ♪ >> you start to see more of and involvement in civic causes. artists taking on stronger political stands. stax becoming a company that understood corporate responsibility before that was even of thing. t

rather difficult week of course is the understatement of the day it's been me it's been completed dr king used to do you get invited to reason me to get this interview that she would not step away that she would push this deal through and she demanded from her. group so far enemies to fall over unless and there was a stretch implied. let's hear what the prime minister has to say. you know change of leadership at this point isn't going to make the negotiations uneasy and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic what it will do what it will do is bring in a degree of uncertainty that's uncertainty for people and what it will do is mean that is a risk that actually we delay the against your actions and that's a risk that wrecks it gets to lend or frustration. what she telling us there it's quite obvious because she's telling our enemies and the whole gaggle off for opponents within her own party and of course on the opposition benches if you shoot me down things will get worse because then we might end up was no breaks at everybody and bridges seems to begin to understand what t

dr. martin luther king jr. to fbi director j edgar hoover. contracts were left from serious academic and other studies. staff members and consultants began to conduct field surveys in 23 cities, including more than 1200 interviews, attitude and opinion surveys, and other serious studies of conditions and causes. the commission members broke into teams for site visits to the riot cities and personally observed close-up the human cost of wretched poverty and harsh racism. new york city mayor john lindsay and i were a two-person team for those site visits, as we had already automatically almost from the first, despite disparate backgrounds, made ourselves into a close working two-man team also to take the lead in pressing for our common goals for what the commission ought to do and say. mayor lindsay and i went to cincinnati, for example, for a closed, no press meeting with a well-educated and successful group of young male and female black militants in a meeting that it had taken our staff more than a week to set up. none of these young men and

we were out there for dr. kingthe soul of america, and that's what we must continue to do in the political arena. >> do you think the democrats bear any responsibility in the toxic tone? republicans like to say, well, it is on both sides. they do think like congresswoman maxine waters and her heated rhetoric. do you think democrats bear responsibility for where we are today as well? >> well, the great majority of the democrats in the house and in the senate, we don't have the bully pulpit like the president. i think the president, a person in the house, creates the climate, the environment through his action and through his words. >> and so, congressman, what about that ad, that campaign ad, that cnn considered racist and factually wrong and so did not put out that campaign ad that the president endorsed, the president tweeted out and then nbc and fox and facebook all followed suit and wouldn't air that ad. i mean, 50 years after the civil rights movement, are you surprised to see ads like this? >> i was so, not on

. >> dr. king would just simply say service is power.i think we have to get, we have to -- i think leah said this earlier, we really do have to the demystify politics and let people understand that this is about, it really is about service. it's about how you serve yourself, how you serve your community, how you serve your family are, how you have a voice in terms of your tax dollars. and, you know, it might sound like it's in the mushy middle, but the truth of the matter is it impacts everything that we do in life. so we can't afford, as african-americans in particular, to even detach ourselves from it. we just have to pick our lane, you know? we don't all have to go to the polling booth. i mean, we have to all go to the polling beaut, but we don't -- booth, but we don't have to work at polls, it's just basic, you know, do five steps, bring five people, you know? for the young people that tweet, tweet five people right before we leave here tonight, say are you registered? do you know where you're registered? do you know if your name is

that was at the heart of what dr. king understood. when you have moral absolutes that guide you, that keeps everybody within the four squares of that morality. it is when you do away with those absolutes that you, in ,act, if you feel good, do it and a total disregard for other people's right to religious expression as a way of expressing their individual commitment to the furtherance of life. great tonow, it is hear that there are those who advocacy formy that sort of consistency in the civil rights movement of this it is fascinating, interesting to hear those arguments. but i will not be deterred by them. just as the family research council will not be deterred. we are a christian-based organization but we respect the police -- the rights of others to believe their particular religious beliefs. frc.org if the viewers want to check it out. greensburg, kentucky. a republican. go ahead. caller: this is just an fyi. a guy called the other day about the 1960's and what he forgot, the program he was talking about , migration in, migration

dr. martin luther king, jr.. the i find interesting is march 1945 mission to the tank factory was 20 years to the day from march 20 5, 1965, when dr. king walked across the bridge to vote and have you ever looked at yourself as the civil rights movement yet to come? you did not protest. you did not march. what you guys did is you became some of the best pilots in the country. asked thateen question a number of times. while we were going through , and i think the other panelists will attest to this, i don't think we dreamed at that time we were making an impact on the future of what was happening as far as racial integration and that type of thing. we thought we were doing our job as citizens of the united states and performing as soldiers in the military. the late 1970's and even more recent when two films came out. one was called "the tuskegee airmen," which had worldwide distribution. that was put out by hbo. the second one was "the red tails," a lucasfilm put out by george lucas. distribution.wide around that

dr. king's assassination. there's been a number of events and commemorative events taking place around that. what hasn't gotten as much attention, which is particularly important for my story, is that my parents got married in 1968. my mother is black, my father is white, made a very controversial decision to get married in '68, and at that time, there were dozens of states across the country that banned interracial marriage. now, because of this -- the case that rose up to the supreme court, loving v. state of virginia, the supreme court decided that those laws that banned interracial marriages were unconstitutional and it became legal across the country for people like my parents to get married. now, part of me feels like that was 50 years ago, and yet it doesn't feel like it was that long ago. and what's interesting from my own family perspective is that the argument that particularly some on my dad's side of the family made to convince my dad not to marry my mother was me and my brother, t

dr. king has some thoughts on this in his prophetic "beyond vietnam" speech, dismissive attitudes for vulnerable people is possible when machines and computers profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people. he called for a revolution of values to save the soul of our country. and he was assassinated one year to the day after he offered that speech. so passing these amendments is an imperative. it's not revolutionary. but it does indicate that san francisco leaders haven't lost touch with their souls. thank you. >> denise with the living wage coalition. the amendments to the ordinance are important to me because as a non-profit worker, i used to be a cal works program participant where i work providing valuable services to our community. i am a single mother of three children. and being paid just $15 an hour is not enough to survive in san francisco. i support increasing the wage rate and the living wage law to $2 above the minimum wage. and i wouldn't settle for

dr. martin luther king. let me explain a little bit. to focus on what was in our collection. we have been collecting images now, portraits. you will see a great diversity. in fact, the portrait gallery opened in 1968. that is an anniversary for us. this image of dr. martin luther king, he is at a news conference and he is announcing his great initiative for that year. campaign, big part of the campaign was what you see at the top, the margin in washington. after his death. he did not live to see that. it continued and it went on. the march on washington occurred in mid-may. they arrived from all over the country and stayed. you can see right there. they stayed there for six weeks to bring attention to the plight of the poor. nationwide. no center arrived in the rains arrived. the rain created mud before too many days. they were up to their ankles in mud. this is why we chose martin luther king. .his image of him in 1968 image. it has been asked, why didn't we to hismething referring assassination. the answer is this room only holds some 30 images. tell the entire story of mar

you echo in your words of dr. king. you said the silence of good people is worse than the actions of bad people. when you look at the really silence of the president here when it comes to condemning the crown prince despite what the cia has found, what will you and your fellow members of congress actually now that you know this and see this, what are you going to do about it? >> i hope this would be a bipartisan basis. we have seen some of the senators talk and make a note and say what they would do. i hope that there are sanctions that would come forward from congress. i think we should look at some sanctions and work with our international colleagues and allies to say it should be multi lateral sanctions going against saudi arabia. >> hoping is one thing and acting is another. let me just read you part of what jamal khashoggi's editor this morning writes in her "washington post" column. it is time for congress to act. if we do not khashoggi's death will be a blood stain on moral conscience that neither time nor saudi

. >> if his wife came to him and said, dr. king what you're pushing for is wrong. he said no it's not. then he asked them, how much money do you make? he said, hell, you need to be out here marching with us. white working class people have more in common with black and brown and indices end discness. he said white people are paid something different. they are paid a psychological wage. at least you're not a black person, at least you're not an "n-word." the racism passed on to them like heritage, they'll be able to forge connections with people together to really have a desperate system in mississippi. if we can address the issues, the lack of floushishing they experience, even in the physical, overcoming the rachel divide, the state itself will flourish. >> all those people in the state do want the them things, they watt to flourish. day lob, last point, you were there. >> that's right, i'm in tupelo right now. i think hyde-smith will probably still win. hearing more about the moore/jones contest. and then looking at that as an opportunity. that a democrat can tri

it was a divisive polarizing time with the assassination of dr. kingations against the war, political protests here. >> kids getting killed on college campuses. it was intense. i remind myself of that often. that was an intense time and we got through. >> it and that was when your father was coming up and his music was the sort of -- i guess the balm or the anthem tom that -- >> well, he had plenty of protest songs in his music as we well. he was able to hold two a opposing thoughts, to oppose the vietnam war and to play for the troops so that was a great model for me. >> how do you see your music, especially this new album, being relevant and useful for our time. >> well, i think a woman of my age, assuming her own validity has power. this is a mature life lived and not without serious bumps in the road and regrets and taking stock of myself, madness and loss and love and mortality and realizing in a long-term relationship it's inevitable and realizing one of you is going to li the other. i felt i had to write about that as well. and trauma, early tra

this story because a reverend was a leading minister in east high school area and he had brought dr. kingimes. and so when many of these athletes have been seven and eight, they had watched king in 1959, 1960 lead marches up and down east broad street right past the high school. and so for them to have to take that blow in the summer of 68, and a spring at 60 when martin luther king is assassinated, many of them had seen him in the flesh. and so it was a heartbreaking moment of course for the nation, for the city, but on a personal level for many, many, many people. they ate at a restaurant that was called novelty food bar in -- mrs. beatty operated that food bar and she was on stage when martin luther king, jr., when he gave his i have a dream speech in 1963. so there's a lot of connection to the nation, to dr. king leading up to this amazing moment. >> host: was this your high school? >> guest: no. i went to east high school one year but then i finished at franklin heights. i knew that it was a special place. it was segregated still 14 years after the 1954 brown v. the board of educatio

when dr. king came to town, he came here. everybody did.s had an office just upstairs, here. musicians like tommy johnson, sonny boy williamson ii, and elmore james all played here. and the likes of duke ellington, cab calloway, count basie, and louis armstrong all took the stage at places like the crystal palace ballroom and the alamo on farish street. what happened? where did it all go? >> geno: what killed farish street was immigration. once we were able to branch out of our own indigenous black-run businesses, the black-owned businesses died. >> anthony: right. >> geno: so great for the black race, but terrible for the black business. in fact, the only reason you're coming to farish street right now -- >> anthony: mm-hmm. >> geno: -- is we have two churches, two funeral homes, and the big apple inn. so you're gonna either die, worship, or come to my place to eat, and that's the only traffic we get. >> anthony: or all three, and that -- you know? >> geno: that's right. >> anthony: not in that order, but -- >> woman: how you doing? >> wom

sort of creates something that may not be related -- the same thing happened in the spring of '16, dr. kingd bobby is shot. it does seem to be atmospheric. your thoughts about that? it gets into our systems and people who are a little nutty to begin with or a little far out politically think, oh, here's my permission slip to shoot somebody. >> well, so 1963 was a year before i was born, so i wasn't really paying attention then, certainly. and, you know, but we -- we see this over and over again. and it seems to go in cycles. and our partisanship is somewhat, you know, sicyclic. i think we're at a pretty bad time right now. probably the worse that i've seen since i've been paying attention, you know, perhaps even the worse since the early 1960s. and i think -- i think people that we elect need to realize that their words do matter. and if they say certain things, they are giving certain individuals who, you know, probably have some possibly mental health issues or somewhat unstable, but it's not good for us as, you know, people who are in leadership positions to try to give these -- or to gi

we live in american house, but in a world house, and as dr. kingaid on many occasion, we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters, if not, we will perish as fools. >> and having gone through what you went through in the civil rights era and 23 years old on the edmund petty bridge in selma, and what does it mean to you as a georgian to have stacey abrams as the standard bearer for the democratic party and so competitive in a race for the governor's mansion? >> well, i move nod the state n in -- i moved to the state in 1963 when i was 23 years old and i saw many changes as greater sense of hope, and greater is sense of optimism. i grew up in rural alabama, and 15 miles from montgomery, and living here and getting involved in the life and the city and the state of atlanta, her election will mean unbelievable, just unbelievable sense of hope and progress. not just for the state of georgia, but far reaching for south and the nation, and i think that she is going to inspire people around the world to believe that we all can change. that we all

president in this country and still people go back to the same characteristics that existed when dr. king was alive. so we have to do something culturally -- >> we have to stop capitalizing on fear and start capitalizing on goodness. all right. in about an hour, the shooter from saturday's synagogue massacre is due in court a day after being indicted on 44 charges. 32 of which bring the death penalty. we're going to go to pittsburgh for the latest. before we go, we just spoke about president trump's campaign blitz. turns out, he already reported personal messages to every single state. and jimmy fallon got his hands on some of the outtakes. >> okay, mr. president, up first is alabama. >> too much like obama. next. next. >> massachusetts. >> god bless you. >> new mexico. >> there's a "new" mexico? isn't the old one bad enough? make new mexico old again. put that on a hat. >> north dakota. >> i love north dakota. they have mt. rushmore. >> no, that's south dakota. >> i think they should put arms on mt. rushmore. that would be a true wonder. >> i'm sorry, what? >> arms. gh, now your insuranc

i remember this guy when i was marching or when dr. king was fighting for civil rights.s is too scary. i don't want to go back. and they came out and they voted. >> i think black women also, and i worked on "the view" with whoopee goldberg. she was the first person i ever heard say, he's going to be your next president, folks. she also knew something about white voters. that they'd respond. in 2015, he was talking about not letting people fighting ebola back into the country. xenophobia, the ebola chapter. one of the most urnnderreported and underremembered chapters of donald trump's xenophobia and his fear and hostility to the good works that people do when they leave this country. but she also predicted how white americans would respond to him. >> i felt this. we all know make america great again. make america white again. there were a lot of americans, a lot of people i knew that would talk about obama in a, yeah, well, you know, i just think once obama got elected president, once he was in charge it was very different than a guy running for president. and i think the

i was wondering do you know, do you know when and where president johnson's final meeting with dr. king was? >> that's a good question. i don't have an answer. see, i'm smart enough to know, but i know people that will have the answer, and so i don't. but that famous one, i'm glad you brought that up, that april 3rd meeting? says so much about this rivalry between the two. and maybe, if you don't mind, i will tell that story. and what you'll do is you see me afterwards, give me an e-mail, and i'll have my people find that answer out. on the king. but what happened was right after he announced he was not going to seek re-election, robert kennedy comes trying to determine whether the president would stay out of sort of the fray in the democratic primary. and see who the cabinet members could go. and he basically says, yes, they can make their own decisions. what's interesting about it is johnson, at the end of the meeting after the meeting goes to his people says, well, play me back the tape. and they went to play the tape, and there was nothing on it. bobby kennedy brought a scrambler to

there is a dr. king reality and malcolm reality. that reality is going to look dir different not just in regards to a region but even a community that lives in the same region. and so i think that's why you take the values that are important to us and then continue to go back to those values and draw from the values and draw circumstances. so exploitation is wrong. what does exploitation look like in dallas versus virginia? all of, you know, the immigration debate, the immigration discussion, i'm -- and i can't tell you what it does to me. i literally just driving back to the house, i have to drive by this horrific immigration detention center which is a $48 million detention center which is being stacked constantly. i see that off of 35 on the highway every time i go to downtown dallas and come back to my home. so i also should think regionally, if there is something in my backyard that i think i have a greater responsibility to it. so perhaps when i'm thinking about what i'm going to specialize in, then what i will factor into tha
