dr. martin luther king, jr. spoke there in 1962.i'm joined by south carolina state senator marlon kimpson. give us a sense of the historic importance that it was at this church with this mass set of executions was carried out. >> well, the fact that we had a shooting in a church, americans woke up in great disbelief. there's a real sense of hopelessness, a real sense of mourning, but ironically there's also a sense of encouragement. today at the prior vigil, there were people of all gender, all races, all ages, all committed to make race relations and concentrate on the things that divide as you priority in the state of south carolina. >> it isn't like one of these police situations, is it? >> well, no. because i can tell you i travel from columbia, the state capital, where i was in the general assembly yesterday during session, last night i went to the command center when i arrived in charleston and law enforcement agencies from across the state, there's fbi, there was the city of charleston, the county, north charlton, the county

dr. martin luther king jr. and studies of american religion at harvard university. so nice to have you all here. i wanted to bring back cornell's understanding of this idea of the gift of black folk in this age, but not in order to say that, like we are the sack sacrificial lambs, but to get us to think about that socratic questioning that this moment of suffering ought to call us to. >> absolutely. and the illustrations that you give are the tangible outcomes of the collective efforts of black people through their suffering to create opportunities for others. one of the things that has troubled me even about the reporting of the incidents is the kind of emphasis at times on the immediate forgiveness of the shooter. because for me it harkens to some of the kinds of concerns that curtis evans writes about in "the burden of black religion." it's this thing where african-americans in the 1700s and the 1800s, african-american religion was supposed to provide salvation and healing and liberation for black people. but at the same time for whites it was supposed to provide

dr. martin luther king's assassination in 1968. president johnson signed it a week after martin luther king was killed, as basically a tribute to dr. king and dr. king's fight to end racially segregated housing in this country. well, the case that the supreme i sort of thought that's how it was going to go with this obamacare ruling, as a best-case scenario for obamacare. but that's not at all what happened. what actually happened with this ruling today is not only did millions of families not get kicked off their health insurance today, the ruling went further than just leaving the law in tact, than just leaving us at zero, leaving us at base line. the way this ruling was written today by chief justice john roberts, it appears to have strengthened the law, to have strengthened obamacare, so that once president obama is out of office, if some republican is elected after him who wants to gut the bill administratively, that president will not be able to do so on his or her own. and yes, a republican congress could work with a republic

dr. martin luther king's assassination in 1968. president johnson signed it a week after martin luther king was killed, as basically a tribute to dr. king and dr. king's fight to end racially segregated housing in this country. well, the case that the supreme court took up and that they heard oral arguments in today comes from dallas. there was no real reason, no real legal imperative why the court had to take this dallas case on the fair housing act, but the fact that the court did take it up has led to a lot of speculation that the roberts' court went out of their way to take this case, specifically so they can gut the fair housing act the way they gutted the voting rights act a year and a half ago. happy martin luther king day. >> that was martin luther king day, earlier this year, in january. and i was wrong, as it turns out. i mean, it was a surprising thing, at the time, it was a surprising thing, on martin luther king day this year, when the supreme court heard those arguments on that civil rights case, because, really, there
