governor george romney, the father of mitt romney, ordered the michigan army national guard into detroitand president lyndon b. johnson sent in both the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions. amy: at the height of the detroit rebellion on july 28, 1967, president johnson appointed a national advisory commission on civil disorders to investigate the root causes of the unrest. the final report, known as the kerner commission, famously concluded that the united states was "moving toward two societies, one black, one white -- separate and unequal." the rebellions reshaped both newark and detroit and marked the beginning of an era of african-america political empowerment. three years later in 1970, newark elected its first black mayor, kenneth gibson. then in 1974, coleman young became the first black mayor of detroit. today the mayor of newark is ras baraka, the son of the famed poet and writer amiri baraka who was arrested during the 1967 newark rebellion. this is the late amiri baraka and the documentary "revolution 67, speaking about what happened to him during the unrest 50 years ago. sudden

government and the response by state and local officials, most notably by then republican governor george romney. any talk about what states did and did not do and what the government ultimately had to do to quell the violence in your city? some will say the fact it ended was the result of the national guard coming into the city. i can tell you as a child, it uncomfortable. i remember being nervous watching tv, and people telling me, it was as if we were in a city at war and who were the bad guys? there was a concern that who were these national guards coming to shoot or to be at war with. there was a lot of concern and dor as a child and what do i , if they come to my neighborhood, what am i supposed to do? am i supposed to identify myself as not being it that person? were they here just to shoot black people? some will say as a result of the governor and the president, the writing stopped. i can debate this now looking .ack at it host: representative brenda lawrence, thank you for being with us and sharing your first-hand perspective and what he remember 50 years later. we appreciate it. let's

imagine barack obama six months into his administration going on and on about john mccain or mitt romney or georgeng about al gore six months into his administration? but, you know, donald trump is all about one thing, winning and losing. that's how he defines everything in life. what's clearly bothering him is the suggestion that somehow his victory was illegitimate, that so you because of the russian involvement that he really wasn't a legitimate winner of the election and, therefore, not a legitimate president, that he didn't actually win. and that seems to be really bothering him, and it provokes this constant return to hillary clinton. i have great respect for hillary clinton, but i don't know anybody who talks about hillary clinton more than donald trump. >> i want to ask you about your special tonight, "the axe files." talk to activist john lewis. you have a powerful relationship with him. he relives a violent experience that he lived firsthand. let's all watch. >> through those earphones is a depiction of the scene that you faced when you sat there. i want to ask you to sit down, put those

george w. bush, john mccain and mitt romney over you in 2012. in 2016, donald trump emerged. what changed between 2012 when you were the insurgent in 2016 when donald trump played that role and won? >> first of all, in 64, goldwater won the nomination against the entire establishment and in 80, reagan won the nomination, those were the precursors to trump, the contract with america was in 94. i feel fortunate in that i worked with reagan as candidate and president while i was in congress, led the contract with america and the three have a continuity despite the traditional establishment. a couple things. trump is a lot better candidate than i. you have to start with that. a unique phenomenon, at one point he called and asked me on advice on debating and i laughed at him. i won't give you any advice, you have a unique style, you are stunningly effective and if you try to learn what i do you would get screwed up. just be who you are, do what you do. i think he is a better debater than i am. if you measure the audience rather than a princeton debate system like ted cruz. mitt ro
