dr. taylor literally all of my life.assed, i talked to his successor at concord, gary simpson. as i hung up the phone, i wondered why was i so sad? someone in their 90s, you suspect they will not live forever, but i thought about how not only was i sad because we will not have him around anymore, but the likes of him we probably will never see again. a regal bearing, a silver tongue a fertile mind. integrity unquestioned. he represented and personified the real highest form of american preaching and experience of the black church. gardner taylor only happens every once in a while. i'm glad this while i got to meet him and got to know him. rest in peace, dr. taylor. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton.

dr. gardner c. taylor. anyone at the privilege of hearing him speak knows what our he had -- what power he had. he was a civil rights hero and he was a friend of dr. king who used his spellbinding sermons to spread the gospel and open people's hearts and minds. he taught and mentor to countless young ministers. so as we mourn his absence today we also take solace that he leaves a living legacy, and that he is in a better place. i am no preacher. i can't tell anything to this crowd about easter that you don't already know. i can offer a couple reflections very quickly before we begin. for me, the celebration of easter puts our earthly concerns into perspective. with humility and with all we give thanks to the extraordinary sacrifice of jesus christ our savior reflect on the brutal pain he suffered, the scorn that he absorbed, the sins that he bore, his extraordinary gift of salvation that he gave to us. we try as best we can to comprehend what he endured that we might receive god's light. but even as we grapp

dr. taylor the professor of vietnamese studies at cornell university said that it was the major achievement of the republic of vietnam. now, to delve into the detail of the program i will wait until my colleagues have a chance to answer and go over that program with you. >> as the vietnam war escalated, south vietnam -- can you hear me better now? as the war escalated, south vietnam led the united states with billet -- military force to the draft. the question is a start -- step for the doctor. you were drafted as a military doctor, how did you and your family feel when you were drafted? >> i think that before we get into that at that time, we need to understand the theory in which the vietnamese leave at the time. i mean that if you, a teacher or professor at school, you had to be in the army to learn about military training. after that they assigned you to work in the university southern school. you could go back to become a doctor. so everybody in the 60's, 70's, a family had people in someway, somehow connected to the army at that time. so, i grew up in that atmosphere. i finished med s
