dr. martin luther king and his supporters when their lives were threatened for protesting racial segregation in alabama. it was a searing experience for white in his first taste of the ugly, smug brutality of southern racism and jim crow. byron wright white relished all of the work that he did in the department of justice. when robert kennedy was skon instantly advising his brother, he was de facto attorney general. the work was important to public service, and it was like his private practice, teamwork with hand-picked lieutenants who he had known for some time. maybe through kicks through the law school. almost all were of the same generation, veterans and military service and despite the pressure of work, it led to two attacks, white would later say that the deputy's job was the most satisfying work of my life. suddenly after 14 months light manipulating struck. the judge retired from the court after a nervous breakdown. within weeks president kennedy nominated white to succeed him. at first white was genuinely indifferent about the appointment and told he was on the short list by an assi

dr. martin luther king when he accepted -- no, actually -- in 1968 in where do we go from here, he talked about economic structure. he said that there's 40 million poor people in this country, and when you ask that question, you have to ask the very structure or the economy. he went on to say who owns the oil? who owns the iron ore, if the world is 2/3 water, why do we pay water bills? don't try that with the water company, it will not work. but it's true, we have seen in the past 20 years the income distribution become more inequal. we are only second to sweden in our inequality of our income distribution. if you talk to the other people. they will say, oh, this is class warfare, where you begin to talk about the differences of who earns what. or they need to work hard. there's nobody harder working than an undocumented person who's cleaning up somebody's house and getting paid under the table. >> i want to go to cecilia in just a second. but in reference to the prepaid card. you have a card that's called the preapproved card, tell us about what make this is approved card different. >> l

martin luther king? >> yeah, great question. early on, very early on bayard is encouraging dr. king to see linkages between economic justice and racism. he's doing this in the 1950s. he's also encouraging king very early on before anybody else does so to form alliances with labor. nobody's encouraging king to focus on economic justice, economic injustice more so than bayard rustin. nobody is encouraging king to form alliances with labor more so than bayard rustin. he does it in the 1950s, he does it in the 1960s. the whole way up. he is the one who introduces dr. king to a. phillip randolph who had an office here in if harlem, who is the founder of the brotherhood of carporters, a great labor laborer. so bayard makes connections for dr. king between labor and this budding civil rights movement. bayard was a fan of dr. king going to stand with the sanitation workers in memphis. and after dr. king was assassinated, bayard is the one who went down and helped that organization to continue on. he led a memorial martha stood with the sanitation workers as well. so, yes, there are let
