martin luther king jr. fits into the struggle because when we think of the historical memory of dr. king, we stopped him in time, he freeze frame 1963, the march on washington, he is opening up that speech, now is the time to make real the promise of democracy. when we think about the speech, we remember i have a dream but talking about preparation, this uncashed check for insufficient funds and we refuse to believe the bank of democracy is bankrupt. the last year of martin luther king's life we find a much angrier, vociferous king that nationally we refuse to acknowledge. the triple threat, militarism, racism and materialism. this is the same king who shares the stage with stokely carmichael on april 15th, 1967, massive anti-war protest in new york city that goes from central park to united nations, 300,000 people are there, it stokely carmichael will not support bill bj's rays in vietnam. they meet up afterwards in harry belafonte's apartment and stokely carmichael is teasing dr. king that he came out against the war publicly. his activism is for dr. king, more publicly talk about

martin luther king, jr. was here. where was stokely carmichael in that continuum? >> i think stokely is a bridge figure and fits in with dr. king and mal malcolm x as a figure ws on the stage of talking about human rights and pushing the envelope. he's the only major black power icon who is also a civil rights activist. so he doesn't just come into activism in the mid, late '60s when things goat get the hot. he knew dr. king -- >> ifill: they got along well. they were a good fit. stokely cries when king is assassinated. he considers him a friend, older brother, mentor, and father figure, but he was also mentored by women, so he's a very interesting figure who's also a critic of the vietnam war. he's a critic of economic injustice. so black power only tells a part of the story. >> ifill: it's interesting, even though he was considered to be the most difficult, the most controversial of the three of them in lots of ways, he lived longer than either of them did and was not assassinated like the other two. >> both king and malcolm died at 39. stokely carmichael moves to west africa, goes to guinea. in a way, moving to west af
