john lewis, you were there. >> i cried, with so many other people. i said to myself, "we still have bobby." i went back to atlanta, attended the funeral with robert kennedy and hundreds and thousands of others. after the funeral was over, i got back in the kennedy campaign, went to oregon and later to california. i campaigned for bobby kennedy with caesar serve as -- shop as. it was a wonderful effort. we went all over los angeles, going into wealthy neighborhoods, knocking on doors, urging people to vote for bobby. and that evening the primary was over, bobby kennedy came up to me and said, "john, i'm going downstairs to make my victory statement. why don't you remain?" i was in his suite with his sister, several other individuals, the brother of medgar evers. and we listened to bobby, and he said, "on to chicago." and moments, minutes later, it was announced that he had been shot. dropped to the floor and cried and cried. i just wanted to get out of l.a. i got on a flight the next morning, flew to atlanta, and i think i cried all the way from l.a.

-- >> his name was john lewis. he had just been named head of sncc, the student nonviolent coordinating committee, and he was 23 years old. i will never forget the speech he delivered that day. >> we must get in this revolution, and complete the revolution. for in the delta of mississippi, in southwest georgia, the black belt of alabama, in harlem, in chicago, detroit, philadelphia, and all over this nation, the black masses are on the march for jobs and freedom. >> in the five decades since, john lewis has become an icon of the civil rights movement, a hero who faced down brutal southern police in the name of freedom and was beaten bloody for daring to do so. today, he is a 14-term congressman from georgia. recently, he and i returned to the national mall in washington to remember that day in 1963 and the march that changed america. >> people were all the way down. and you just saw hundreds and thousands of individuals. i'm john lewis. and i was the youngest speaker. ten of us spoke. i spoke number six. dr. king s

and he has committed himself to working with john lewis and others. there are other republicans who are interested. frankly, i think that mr. kantor is very likely going to be someone who is going to step up to the plate. he went down to selma, alabama, a year ago with john lewis. >> right. >> as you and i have done before, he walked across the edmund pettus bridge. he understands what people went through. i'm not sure that congressman barton from texas is in tune with what is going on. i also think that people need to understand, and i think that's what the president and the attorney general are doing. they're saying this is the department of justice, not the department of just us. and so we're going to see i think the president, the attorney general moving along with mr. sensenbrenner and john lewis and other republicans to put this law back on the books. >> well, i think that mr. -- congressman sensenbrenner is the right kind of conservative. let's conserve americans' right to vote, and we'll be following this every step of the way. congressman ema

congressman john lewis and jim sensenbrenner. >> to this day, i believe we are a better country.r people because of the voting rights act. we made progress, we have come a great distance. but the deliberate systematic attempt to make it harder and more difficult for many people to participate in a democratic process still exists to this very day. >> i believe that the voting rights act is the most successful of all of our important civil rights act that have been passed since the mid 1950s and eliminating discrimination. >> sometimes the differences between the house and the senate are the difference between here and the moon. hopefully not on this one. >> the push to breathe new life into the voting rights act was echoed yesterday. by former secretary of state hillary clinton speaking to the nation's largest african-american sorority at their convention. >> equality in our voting system is one we can, we should and we must fix. and unless congress acts, you know and i know more obstacles are on their way. >> joining me now, senator amy klobuchar, democrat from minnesota. senator

a group of peaceful marchers led by john lewis, young john lewis , an earlier attack by state troopers, called bloody sunday from the graphic photographs, became a catalyst for the voting rights act. your precious and sacred vote is one of the most powerful tools we have to create a more perfect union. to millions of others he, he is a hero. thank you for being here today. in 2006 republicans and democrats joined together to pass the reauthorization of the voting we were able to do it, one reason we were able to do it, is a courageous chairman of the how judiciary committee congressman sensenbrenner, a true leader of that effort. having video at that time as a ranking member and watching what went on, i could say we would not have been able to reauthorize that without his leadership in the house judiciary committee. i was proud to work with him back then and i thank him for coming here to testify today. i think that he and i and congressman lewis were very happy when we saw the president sign that in the rose garden. shelby county versus holder held that it was outdate and the five jus

are you john lewis? " robertid i am john lewis. i gave my full name and that was the beginning. [laughter] i admired this man. i loved this man. he lifted me. . he inspired me. he in tuesday with the philosophy and the discipline of nonviolent along with the man by the name thejim lawson. in a sense, he was a funny man. he could tell jokes, make you laugh. oh, yes, he would tell jokes. he would say to you try to preach? and i said sometimes/ when i was taking a shower. he would just laugh. he would laugh at his own jokes. [laughter] he thought was so funny. he was wonderful. one time we were traveling in alabama someplace and there was some restaurant. and i thought of the got arrested we go to jail on a full stomach. he thought it was funny about what was bill conner like? >> he was something. on one hand, he could be very mean. of jailwere taken out during the freedom ride in , he hadam, seven of us already arrested two young people at the city limits of birmingham. there was a young black man anyone -- a young white man. they refused to move. segregation was strictly enforced

. >> you know, goldie, john lewis is the only surviving member of the main big six sponsors of the marchwashington 50 years ago. he'll be speaking at our march in august of this year. let me show you what he said today about what we face 50 years later. >> violence, poverty, hunger, long-term unemployment, homelessness, voting rights, and the need to protect human dignity. we have come a great distance, but we are not finished yet. for a struggle is not a struggle that lasts one day, one week, one month, or one year. it is a struggle of a lifetime to redeem the soul of america. >> so john lewis who was beat on the bridge 48 years ago to lead to the voting rights act, who was the speaker with dr. king and others 50 years ago and will be standing with us now. i would rather take his word for the fact that we still have things to do than to take the word of someone who was surprised in a restaurant in harlem that people weren't yelling yo m-fer i need iced tea. i'm quoting him. and i think his own words define his cultural view and his exposure to all americans. eric bourelt and goldie, tha

i think that john lewis and jim simpson brenner have worked together in a bipartisan way on this kindion before. they're very close friends. hopefully they will take a look at the decision and the work that they did just a few years ago and maybe update it. the supreme court seems to be saying that there is still discrimination taking place. however, they think that the basis for reauthorizing the act was a little bit old and outdated. i would like to see them update the data because i think the data will still show that there are pockets in this country where people are resisting equity and fairness in the political process and let's fashion a bipartisan bill and get it passed. >> let me also talk to you about immigration because there's a lot of mixed signals coming out from the hill today. senator schumer says something can get out of the house, not before the recess, but something that democrats would support could get out of the house if they could go district by district. this is senator schumer speaking on "morning joe" today. if they can go district to district who wouldn't su

>> well, i think it's promising when we look at the senate hearing that we saw congressman john lewis congressman send is sensenbrenner said the voting rights is imperative and congress need to move as it in din 2006 in a bipartisan manner and we constitute section for the voting rights act so we can ensure we are protecting american voters. this summer i think members of congress will be very surprised by the outpour of constituents that will come to their town halls, that will be at their meetings, that will raise the issue of voting rights. >> i do want to talk about more monday specifically. one of the things that has continued to strike me about these protests, we had video there. a lot of the folks are protesting they don't look like us. i mean, here is something that was started by the national association for the advancement of colored people and a number of the people who have gotten arrested, again, not minority by any way, shape, form or fashion. what do you think is behind that? >> i think it's clear this issue cuts across many demographics, many constituencies because it'

while speaker john boehner got a nice photo op with john lewis, perhaps a more meaningful move wouldegislation on behalf of minorities in this corrupt. and a good place to start is in texas where in the wake of the supreme court striking down section 4 of the voting rights ac, legislators acted quickly to put into effect a new voter i.d. law. for more on this, i'm delighted to be joined by eddie berniece johnson, a democrat from the texas. good afternoon, ma'am. it's not quite the industry as you know of that historic event. but speaker boehner wanted to make sure he was part of the celebration before congress goes on recess. am i being a bit too cynical here, or is there something a bit odd about this speaker attending this event when many of his own party's policies work against the vet people that the civil rights movement was trying to help? >> well, first, let me thank you for having me on the program today and simply say that it's almost like it's a new beginning because we, of course, needed the speaker to be there to probably feel some of the feelings that all of us felt, esp

what was john lewis doing at comic con, the annual california celebration of sci-fi, anime and pop culturemarch is a graphic novel, part one of a memoire chronicling his remarkable life. >> i wanted to share this story with another generation. young people. the children. with teachers. to show that through peaceful, nonviolent actions, we can change america and when we change america, we can change the world. >> lewis was one of the organization organizers for the march on washington that was 50 years ago next month. >> christmas came early for a 6-year-old girl in arlington, texas. . >> madi has a rare form of brain cancer and her big wish was to play in the snow. madi's dream came true thanks to a dallas company that turn understand 20,000 pounds of ice into madi's own winter wonderland. coming up, who wants old dogs. how one woman's photos are making a difference. . >> finally tonight our making a difference report is about a woman whose photographs are giving older dogs that rare second chance. jill rappa port has the story. >> who wants to wear a wig. >> lori loves dogs so much she ma

when that decision came down yesterday you know who i was thinking of, john lewis who was beaten almostath in 1961 on the freedom ride who was almost beaten to death on the bridge between selma and montgomery when they were fighting for voting rights. i thought of all those now forgotten martyrs, young black men and women who died fighting for voting rights. i thought of a man beaten two or three times. i thought of all of those guys who stood up so that everyone in this country irrespective of race, religion, creed, income, we're all eke quul in that voting booth i thought of them. it was a betrayal of their martyrdom that this court said it's going to be okay for you to go back and try to put discriminatory laws against voting in different places. they tried last year. you know that. you tawgd about it on the show. the voter i.d., the other efforts to disqualify voters at the polls. they're now encouraged to do that. the supreme court has said go and do likewise >> stephen: again if it doesn't work out, if there is still discriminatory racial discriminatory action at the polls to try

asking the democrats to hold off on the highly partisan rhetoric as we seek to push forward the john lewisthankfully is already being talked about as the lewis sensenbrenner bill which shows that at least for some people in congress, there is the intention of forging bipartisan consensus right now. >> you know, one of the thing that struck me in the aftermath of this is that it was really the record turnout among african-american and latino voters that really changed the electorate, elected a democratic president, and you know, in essence, when you hear progressives talk about the environment or lgbt rights. you name it. that agenda would be very different, frankly, if, and we wouldn't have a president obama and congress would look very differently without the black and latino vote. i just wonder, does democratic party realize that as well. we focus politically a lot on republicans but this is a moment for democrats and other parts of the progressive moment. this is not just a black/white issue anymore. >> no. this has always been an issue at the core of our democracy itself. this voting r

john lewis on the one hand. that is what people are looking at. what's going to happen in the house. really, i think the focus should certainly be on those southern states. if you flash back to the 1970s during those initial discussions about reauthorizes the voting rights act, the discussion was all about the south. there was some argument that maybe it should apply nationally to every state. of course, it ended up being reauthorized in the way that it was repealed in many ways by the supreme court. so i think you got to look at those southern states. you mentioned those and those representatives there. you look at a state, for instance, like south carolina. it isn't only expanding voting i.d. laws. they're making it difficult to vote. they're discussing in south carolina a bill that would make it harder for disabled people to vote, that would essentially say if you're disabled, you have to get a note from your doctor to get an absentee ballot. there are all sorts of measures going on. i think we're going to have a long, hot summer about the cult

the supreme court ruled against that protection was a huge loss for progressives like john lewis.onservatives who oppose the law reach the same conclusion about its fate that the court had put a dagger in its heart. though they tended to be happier about seeing that dagger there. you can fell by the way they responded to the news. mississippi announced it would be going forward with a voter i.d. law that had not been approved by the federal government. alabama announced it, too, would be rushing ahead to the voter i.d. law. in texas, the attorney general announced his state would put their voter i.d. law into effect immediately. according to data from the state of texas, itself, up to 800,000 people in texas would not have the kind of i.d. you would need to vote. and among all those people, hispanic voters, more than twice as likely not to have the new acquired i.d. because all would have such a clearly, clearly discriminatory effect. the federal government had blocked that voter i.d. law until the supreme court threw out the key parts of the voting rights act allowing that blocki

stood in a small cell with john lewis. on june 23rd, 1969, from that small cell nelson mandela, prisoner and husband wrote this: my dearest, a new world will be won not by those who stand at the distance with their arms folded, but by those who are in the arena goes garments are torn by storms and whose bodies are maimed in the course of the contest. honor belongs to those who never fore sake the truth. even when things seem dark and gray. who try over and over again who are never discouraged by insults, humiliation, or even defeat. since the dawn of history, mankind has honored and respected brave and honest people. men and women like you, darling, an ordinary girl who hails from a country village hardly shown on those maps. my sense of "devotion" to you precludes from me from saying more in public than i've already done in the note which must pass through many hands. one day we will have the privacy which will enable us to share the tender thoughts which we have kept buried in our hearts. nelson mandela.
