errin haines, did you see a minute ago i played something i saw when i was in birmingham, alabama.ison cell that martin luther king had been in. april 3rd, 53 years ago, when he delivered his mount top speech and was assassinated the in ex-day. next day. for all the stuff happening today seems very, very relevant to martin luther king. voting, wage issues and southern states a little out of control when it comes to voting? >> yeah. you're absolutely right, and an excellent segment you had there in -- in montgomery, or in birmingham there with that, your wonderful tour guide. that just really kind of brought -- >> yes. >> -- stark relief. seeing that jail cell, that that was just -- to imagine dr. king in those circumstances, but also for the folks working there with the fortitude to recognize that that place is historic and should be preserved and that people should see it. it should remain for posterity, it's very important and i appreciate you sharing that. i was actually in memphis for the 50th anniversary of dr. king's assassination. as a native atlantan, my first time going to

errin haines and yamiche alcindor, thank you both for joining us tonight. coming, up the coronavirus pandemic, a gun violence epidemic, so many american families and businesses trying to crawl out of the financial hole caused by the economic shutdowns. with all these many urgent problems. what are republicans focused on in florida? transgender children. the bill just passed by florida house republicans is so cruel and invasive it made my next guest sweep as she spoke against it. that's next. how great is it that we get to tell everybody how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i mean it... uh-oh, sorry... oh... what? i'm an emu! no, buddy! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪ (naj) at fisher investments, we do things differently and other money managers don't understand why.
