and then on the 17th, the holiday, we'll be in washington, d.c., on the frederick douglas bridge with the same message, because we cannot give up, we cannot give out, we cannot give in until this legislation is passed. the john lewis bill as well as the for the people act. >> now -- freedom to vote, excuse me. >> we called for this next weekend drum major institute and you have called national action network and other groups will be with you in phoenix. donald trump will also be in arizona that day, and of course everyone will be in washington on the 17th. but as this week draws to a close, are you confident the biden administration's response to the far-right groups implicated in the january 6th attack, because on his remarks this week on the eve of the first anniversary of the attack, merrick garland stopped short of invoking these groups or assigning blame for political violence to one side of the spectrum. with that, is the law enforcement response from the department of justice and the fbi sufficient to take down these groups like the proud boys, the oath keepers, and the three p

that march started across the frederick douglas memorial bridge in d.c. what are folks saying to you and what are they demanding? >> yeah. well, they're demanding, chanting saying what do we want? voting rights, and when do we want it? now. hundreds of people are marching for voting rights here. this is martin luther king junior boulevard in southeast washington d.c. and this is thought of as a day off for many people. schools are closed. banks are closed. even the federal government is closed. the house and senate are out today, and that's why they're here. they're fighting for voting rights. they want the john lewis voting rights act passed. they say there's no celebration in the name of martin luther king junior without this legislation. here's what some folks i talked to had to say. >> there are only two sides. you side with mlk and john lewis and voting rights and the people who got you elected or with jim crow. right now manchin and sinema are letting us go back to crow. >> and you're frustrated? >> i'm extremely frustrated. >> and the frustration i

that's what frederick douglas say, whatidea b.tubman said, fannie lou hamer said. what kind of witness are we going to bear? all of our fellow citizens in various contecs, we just have to bear witness. we're not in full control of this thing. don't get discouraged. i was with my brothers and sisters, these are citizens engaged in a hunger strike. they're bearing witness. we've got to all bear witness across gender, across race, sexual orientation to see whether the best of the american spirit, the best of the human spirit and the best of the black tradition of deep love, genuine love, radical love of truth and beauty, goodness. >> well, in this moment -- well, in this moment, listen, you can't worry about what is unpopular, right? you have to do the right thing in this moment. >> it's about integrity. >> it's about integrity. >> not purity. none of us are pure, now. integrity. >> right. consistency and integrity. what mitch mcconnell did is not consistent, right? it's hypocrisy. and speaking of hunger strikes joe madison is on a h

c a peace march took place across frederick douglas memorial bridge. dr king's family took part in that march. it was a similar site in arizona demonstrators are urging congress to pass voting legislation. meanwhile in south florida, the annual wheels up guns down unsanctioned demonstration. those taking part in the ride out, say it honors dr king before delivering a speech on voting rights legislation in atlanta. president biden and vice president kamala harris paid tribute to civil rights battles of the past. they took part in a wreath laying ceremony at the crypt of the late reverend king and his wife, coretta scott king. cnn higher ground and all these students want to come out and help you know where it matters. most down here is just amazing. it's a great feeling, and i'm really excited to get to work today. back here. in the bay area. student volunteers took part in a community clean up in oakland. at least 50 students from oakland tech picked up trash in the eads avenue area as part of the 15th annual day of service. the event was organized by

and they'll be marching across the frederick douglas bridge here in washington. this is not necessarily viewed as a march on washington, as much as it is as a march through washington, through the communities that these folks believe would benefit from a voting rights bill the most. so what does this mean? they talk about the idea of no legislation -- no celebration without legislation. so they're calling for a national standard when it comes to voting rights. they're calling for getting big money out of politics. and striking down some of the hurdles that they believe 19 states have put in across the country, when it comes to voting rights. we spoke to a number of folks out here today, including the former chief of staff to representative john lewis, who said he's been fighting this for decades and he plans to continue. >> mr. lewis once said, you know, this isn't the fight of a day, a week, or a month. this is the fight of a lifetime. and this is something that we continue to have to do. and you know, old man like me, with 61 out here, you know, it's just impor

even h frederick douglas wasn't safefe. hehe was torn down in rochester, new york like brian kilmeade sleeze. t that's a head scratcher. the mary decaf imitated in tennessee. jesus christ decapitatedssee in miami probably because it needed a nose job godi even gone. he was vandalized in davis, california and we alldhi rememr what a he was and yetic the media and our politicians thought it was progress that this would help cities and help people. but what disney did to star wars they destroyed something and replaced ithey with somethig worse. the rest of us though we knew this was an excuse for mayhem, a gateway for more than just destroying statues and what came next ? businesses and police precincts destroyed. nothinggness is sacred. and whenen looting is defended as a good thing, society is as backwards as crisscrosses pants. there's a references c. it's the broken window theory on meth. you let society go to and it quite literally goes to . we have criminals released from prison to commit more crime on new york subways,

he worked with his relationship with frederick douglas. douglas is an abolitionist.ard who had to deal with the sentiments of the country, he was radical. the two of them come together in a certain sense in the end. all of that then he only has a few days to appreciate that before he's killed and having been through such difficulty. he said when the war started. he felt such anxiety. he didn't think he would live through it when he looks back on it. for a lot of people seeing the level of that depression and how he had life preservers to get him out of it. he tells so many stories in it. that's the way he relaxed and replenishing. i find myself laughing even when i understood him and read about him. i knew how fun he would be. i think viewers will see the same thing. >> story telling was his way of getting his life preserving back. >> studying lincoln, the two most remarkable people were frederick douglas and abraham lincoln. >> mr. lincoln seemed dull and in different but measuring him by the sentiment of his country. a sin man he was bouned as a statement to con si

lee but wholesale toppling, defacing statutes across the country and statutes of frederick douglas and statutes of abraham lincoln here in my own hometown of philadelphia someone actually defaced a statute of a prominent abolitionist figure. what they felt they were doing, i don't know. so much of it seemed to be an act of irrational impulse and i see the removal or toppling this way i get to see removal by irrational impulse, that's when we are doing something little less considerate and less logical than we think we are doing. back in 2017, riot circled around in charlottesville and i sat down with rudy, officer, we worked up what we call a decision because how do you deal with monuments and statutes? and there are moments, on the one hand, you simply can't say it because the statute is there- in 2003 when american forces arrived in baghdad, one of the first things that happens is tearing down the enormous statute of saddam hussein. i think we are better planet without them but how do you arrive at decisions for people who are represented by statutes who haven't been around for 150 y

wholesale toppings facing of statues across the country putting statues of france, statues of frederick douglas, abraham blinken, here in my own hometown of philadelphia someone naturally defaced a statue of prominent abolitionist. what i thought they were doing i don't know but soo much of this seemed to be an act of irrational impulse. when i see the overall picture of the removal and toppling of statues this way i begin to see how much of it is done by irrational impulse when i start to have hesitations and that's when i have anxiety that we are doing something a little less considerate or logical than we think we are. back in 2017 when the charlottesville riot circled around a statue of robert e lee and charlottesville that was the moment when robert e lee almost became radioactive. at that time i sat down with a former student of mine john rudy, national park service officer, we worked up what we called a decision tree because how do you deal with monuments and statues? there are moments, on the one hand you can't say because the statue is there, that's not true. i remember 1956 hungarian

frederick douglas, abraham lincoln who i quoted on january 6th on the floor saying that no foreign monsterf ryan is to come to america, it will come from within. and that's true. it is our own demons and violent white supremacy has been our enemy from the beginning of the republic. just when we're on the precipice of getting through it, well then this nightmare flashback emerges on january 6th. >> i don't want to sound political here but there are many republicans who are not acknowledging this day, or who are mocking this day and say this is democrats trying to milk something, milk a minor event, an unfortunate event from the past for political gain. if even people who are serving in congress aren't wanting to know the truth of this day, i mean -- >> i feel bad for those people. they are essentially in a political religious cult, and their cult leader, donald trump, is telling them they can't believe their own eyes. the evidence of their own experience and their own ears. so we should try to embrace those people and help them through what they're going through because they've been fed lie

he actually told us that what frederick douglas said is true.have freedom and this is what it is about. it is about what you can contribute. what we saw instead in the development of a welfare state -- five years after roe v. wade as national law, we have more black babies dead took abortion than in the 1960's. they have created these pockets of poverty. he was changing his focus on the really poor. i think that we see it all the time. somebody mentioned the homeless situation. there was a policy change. now we are seeing people that really need as as a society. come elections have consequences. we are getting into extra help. host: our last call. can you make it quick? caller: the free press just came up. so much that they had done, where would he have been? what would have happened? host: ms. parker, we will give you the final word. guest: the problems that we are moving into now, it is because of systemic racism and looking at life patterns. we do not fix those problems with socialism. the virtues of capitalism and rule of law are outlined in

how dare frederick douglass have the same last name as steven douglas. i couldn't put their last names in the title. so i thought that describes them both. abraham lincoln frederick douglass and their battle to save america soul to make us a more perfect union to get the 13 states together. we got to make certain compromises then we had to beat the british. we did both but it put off a problem that had to be dealt with we thought would sunset the 1820s that went right to the 1860s all throughout time. we had great people stand up and lead us and sometimes for the most unlikely circumstances andrew jackson and orphan kid in the midwest. this guy should have been a criminal he ends up being a war hero two-term president and dominate 50 years of american politics, you take lincoln and douglas their their way they started and when he ended up, you would never predicted either one would be the people to save our country, but i would argue they did but can i take a step back a little and talk about where i started at fox? you guys been watching me a fox. so doe

most people at home know that because most people at home know who frederick douglass is, and it is not the one in the lincoln/douglasat slavery should be allowed in the new u.s. states, which lincoln opposed. and the fact that the virginia lawmaker got this wrong, specifically saying it was frederick douglass also shows us why this movement against teaching the truth about racism is actually quite dangerous. but it can be amusing when they make these kinds of mistakes. joining us is an associate professor of history at the ohio state university. professor, what does this mistake in this bill over the very famous lincoln/douglas debates tell us about the movement to restrict how schools accurately teach american history? >> it tells us that we should leave the teaching to teachers, and get the politicians and elected officials, especially those who are driven by a particular political agenda, that is designed to prevent students and people from learning about, as you pointed out, the ways in which race and racism have shaped the contours of american society and continue to shape the contours of american society. and
