john lewis and you were his pastor. >> it was really hard to serve john lewis. met him when i was a college student and later when i became the pastor of ebenezer church, i became his pastor. in some of my earliest memories are surveyed not only him but his wife who was quite old when i came japanese or church. i did a number of pastoral visits with lillian lewis who is a strong abominable spirit in her own way later from time to time i would spend some time with him in dyads i was preparing to preside over his funeral which happened while i was running for the senate. >> i was sitting there and i remember asking myself as i was thinking about john lewis, what was he thinking when he was crossing the bridge and nothing with thehe backpack on trenchcoat. i don't know but here's what i know, i know he was not thinking but at my death there will be three american presidents at his funeral. on both sides ofhe the aisle because we all respected john lewis. he was not thinking one day he would be the recipient of a presidential medal of freedom. i think he was just tr

you know, john lewis was a little bit different from from me. anyway, you may have eternalize a lot of what he did. we practiced non-violence. john internalized nonviolence. i'm i don't know if i could ever become a job this was but watching him and having to lobby him for a vote becoming his whip and the which job is to get the 218 if you're on the house side and you go to john you kind of knew. from the content of the legislation will not even talk to john about that because certain things about them. he was really as close to a pacifist as anybody i've ever met. and so when they came to war and peace john was always on the side of peace. i don't think he ever voted for but one defense bill the whole time i served with him. because there was always something there that he thought did not lead to peace. so it must have been a great experience. to be his pastor it was but let me ask you a little bit about going forward. you know, i've talked about the passion i often quote. enjoy santiano who said if we feel to learn the lessons of the past, we'r

>> and i just remember sitting there just saying, 'why isn't there a john lewis comic book?'what it took to bring the life of congressman john lewis to the pages of a graphic novel. but first, america's teenagers are in crisis. >> i tend to isolate myself when things get hard, but this was a whole different isolation. >> if a person is sick, you go to the doctor. same with mental health need. >> what can be done for teens in need when there aren't enough counselors to help them? ♪ soledad: i'm soledad o'brien. welcome to “matter of fact.” depending on where you live, the school year is underway or just weeks from starting. with the anticipation comes anxiety. covid-19 is still here along with the threats of monkey pox and other common flu and cold viruses. there's an economic uncertainty that has rocked many families. and the shortage of school staff presents new challenges. that's all weighing on teenagers in those classrooms, affecting their mental health. according to a 2021 survey by the american psychological association, young people requesting treatment for depressive

of 1965, it is impossible to think of the voting rights act without thinking about our collie, john lewis. john was beaten in the first march of selma and almost gave his life for the right to vote. martin luther king was there for the second march, to make sure it was successful. when people went to selma with john lewis for the march, for's memory of the march, people went and were touched. they spoke about it. how they went with john lewis to selma. and some of those same people voted not to continue the voting rights act. an act to give his name for. at this subcommittee, there's been 13 hearings for the last few years. voting rights for native americans, asian americans, disabled americans and other historically disadvantaged groups have once again come under significant threats in many parts of our country. the extensive record we have built from the hearings show that -- the top laws, producing opportunities for early voting, and closing polling locations and predominantly -- and other things. generally one, december 7 -- more they 440 bills had been introduced in 49 states in the

soledad: i'm curious how you feel about the passing of john lewis, of course, who was, i think, the modernfor four younger people who weren't around when the march actually happened. john: yes, it was a huge loss. he was literally on that bridge. the edmund pettus bridge, literally beaten within, you know, inches of his life, literally put his body on the line so that all of us could vote. and so i think it's important for us to realize that and contextualize that so that when we were talking about voting rights, now we realize that this has always been contested. this has always been a struggle and there have been many more years in this country where folks were actively excluded, actively disenfranchised actively denied their voting rights. then there have been years when we've been pretty close to full suffrage and we still have a ways to go. we have to be inspired by john lewis. we have to be inspired by dr. king and all the folks that organized the marches in selma and all across this country, saying it's important that all of us are included in the franchise, that we're all citizens

one vote on the john lewis bill, which manchin actually said while john lewis was living that he would off on, that he agreed. he told people when he was running that he supported. we haven't had -- we haven't gotten a living wage. manchin said he was for a living wage when he ran. so did sinema. all of these scenes have been pushed down in order to get this. we have to honor what is historic but we also have to say what is problematic. it is a moral right and because 90% of the things that were cut out will hurt poor people, low-wage people, and low-wealth people who represent 140 milli-people in this country. 30% of the electorate overall and 45% in seven battleground states. we have to address this. it is always been in the midst of american politics. dr. king talked about a lot when he said the moderates were the worst enemies because they were more interested in compromise. we still have to have that critique today. some don't like it. i come out of a sports background. when i played football and when i watch basketball, you win a championship seven-game series. you did not win on

john lewis. great civil rights leader worked in his campaign and was setting up a rally for kennedy in the african-american community in indianapolis. so kennedy gets on the plane in muncie. he hears when he gets on the plane plane that king has been shot. and when he lands in indianapolis he hears that he's died and a report. he was there said he just was immobile right? he just sat this hand in his head. head in his hands and so he gets off the plane and the police the mayor said you can't go and the police commissions. you don't go over there. you can't go it's me dangerous. he said maybe for you, i could go with my wife until then sleep in the street, and i'd be fine if you can't do that. that's your problem. i'm going i don't want any police coming with me. so he goes to the park in a sense ethel to the hotel. and people are waiting and the amazing thing. it's hard for students understand. this is that without cell phones and all people didn't know me. i think i don't know what time king was

liz cheney herself even voted against the john lewis voting rights act.what more do you want for the woman? this is true not just of her but a peter meijer of course in michigan and so many others as you noted. these are horrifying times. our democracy is facing its greatest threats since at least the jim crow era, and i believe that democrats have to be messaging around this heading into november because everything is on the line. >> let me ask you about the democratic party here, and we should note, that they have had a hand in some cases in promoting some of the far-right challenges out of the primaries, pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars in republican primaries. earlier this month, congressman peter meijer, one of the house republicans voted to impeach trump, narrowly lost his primary race. his colleague congressman, adam kinzinger, blamed democrats for that loss. do you support this kind of strategy, or if even one of the extreme candidates get elected, would not have been worth the risk? >> i don't know what kind of data the have that may be m

stature to kiss john lewis' feet.hen he added at long last he left no sense of decency. so the judge who gave the go ahead to ransack the president's house is an obama donor with trump derangement syndrome. and he has so little integrity he just puts this all out there on facebook. so the fbi judge shopped for this guy who spends all day online shaming you for your white privilege. here is another thing he posted. >> take two steps forward. if you grew up in a father figure in a home. take two steps forward if you had access to a private education. i want you guys up here in the front just to turn around and look. we don't want to recognize that we have been given a head start but the reality is we have. >> jesse: you have the liberal librarian working with the corrupts fbi to get some radical fanatic crt loving judge to sign off on a warrant. to just raid the president's house. the president that they all hate. oh, and the judges, he took lois lerner's side when she deleted all those emails. yeah, he acted like she w

the freedom to vote act and the john lewis voting rights act.cial bills that died in the senate, thank you filibuster. this week, president biden met with a group of historians to remind them the importance of fighting democracy in america. according to the washington post. this is the group biden met with, among them regular nbc contributors, john meacham and michael beschloss, all burying distinguish, evidently qualified historians, but you'll note they all have something in common. you think the president might have wanted to hear from a black historian or scholar. black americans are being hit hardest by the attacks on voting rights, and always have been, throughout american history. we thought we would one ask one of -- if they had been invited, joining me now is carole anderson, a professor and chair of the african american studies department and author of the acclaimed work, one person, no vote, how voter suppression is destroying our democracy. carol, thank you for coming back on the show. simple first question. what would you have said

president obama awarded the medal of freedom back in 2011 alongside congressman john lewis. russell died today at 88 years old. his family has not yet mentioned a cause of death. bay area leaders are remembering russell today. oakland mayor libby schaff remembering him as someone who stood up for racial equality and social justice calling him an inspiration to us all we are, of course, going to continue our coverage on this story coming up in kron 4 sports. and later tonight during prime time. the nation's also morning, another fallen star today. actress michelle nichols has passed away at the age of 89 nichols broke barriers for black women in hollywood as star trek's lieutenant who during the 60's. the trailblazer also broke racial stereotypes during that time, widely known for participating in one of the first interracial kiss is on us television. nichols died saturday of natural causes and little mermaid fans mourning the loss of pat carroll. the emmy award-winning comedian played the voice of are the sea, which in the little mermaid, according to her family, she passed

courtland was one of the organizers of the march and john lewis's representative on the coordinating committee as people was speaking and >> at the podium at the lincoln we were in the back of the lincoln memorial making changes to john speech. but job was so good. nobody at but notice he says because of the efforts of lewis, of course, mlk and many others. a year later, we had the 1964 civil rights bill which ended. segregation. is proud of how far the country has come but says there's still a long way to go with the deaths of george floyd. >> and everything, you know, it just says it's almost like we're going back 20 years in many respects. but from where we were in 1963, we have made tremendous price. >> that was daniel hamburg reporting for us this morning. coming up on the kron 4 morning news, a man was taken to the hospital after being shot in union city. we spoke with residents who are now calling for more security in the area. and nasa sending its most powerful rocket into space. we'll have a preview before. it's set to watch. plus, lawmakers on both sides are having mixed fee

john lewis studies homegrown extremism at george washington university and tells newsnation the clearest risk from these threats is lone wolf attacks like the one last week on the cincinnati fbi fisld office. it's really it's just that lone actor rights doesn't need to have a group affiliation or membership in some antigovernment white-supremacist group. it could just be someone who he's extremely online. someone who is taking in the rhetoric who you know is is sitting at home. that was evan lambert reporting for us tonight. meanwhile, georgia's >> investigation into potential tampering in the 2020 election. now features 2 of former president trump's closest allies, atlanta prosecutors have informed rudy giuliani that he's a target of their criminal probe and they are investigating if any laws were broken. when former president trump allegedly tried to pressure georgia state officials into overturning election results. giuliani has been ordered to testify before a special grand jury this wednesday. meantime, senator lindsey graham of south carolina has also been ordered to testify before

jackson, starting you, explain how they mixed up that bathroom cleaner with the john lewis. >> it's a nightmare scenario. you have a worker who was trying to carry a 2 1/2 gallon jug around and rather than do that they put it in a smaller container. another worker warned that that container could be used to pour and distribute beverages but they got district tracted. and so that jug was left on a table and was used by a third worker who was totally unaware. >> amazing. you say they got distracted. are investigators looking at this as a crime, some type of criminal negligence here? >> well, it looks like the california regulators for assisted care are involved. not the district attorney, they have said there is no apparent crime. california regulators want to understand the staffing issues. there are hundreds of people living here and clearly this staff was so sidetracked that they lost track of a critical potential lethal event there. >> your sources are telling you there is clear video here. what else does that video show? >> well, the video showed that basically the time lapse. time

civil rights since robert kennedy and the civil rights movement were filed, martin luther king and john lewis. so this is a historic day on every level. and you think about the fact that they have plenty of me overwhelming proof that these officers not jas was negligently execute and, and no not warrant but to make appointment. they also bad. oh warner that led to deadly conflict with that led to deadly consequences of this innocent black woman and knew they were like jennifer clock and the f b. i. agents who were working with the civil rights division. they made a point to acknowledge that they know they will fossil find the documents and that is critically important because they knew that those officers were likely rely on their falsified documents. that they would likely come to brianna's upon me, come to brianna's appointment, and kick in the door. they know that these fossil fat documents, this search war, would lead them to think that it was a dangerous situation that they were going to have guns drawn. and they knew that these false, so fide documents were likely to lead to serious bod

so the north was the site of the black church and black political power by congressman john lewis anothernister was beaten because they were marching for voting rights that was the heart of black power the movie is based on the novel by thomas dixon and he says the worst thing that ever happened in the history of civilization it was given the formally enslaved the right to vote the reversal of all that was beautiful and children history of civilization. to say that is the betrayal of civilization with these unscrupulous people in the north. >> it would almost be hard to believe if it was not happening now. >> that's why this is on reconstruction because i want people to realize what is happening now is a repeat when black people are experiencing the 131,415th amendment and it was all rollback by redemption and that's what we saw with the rise of donald trump and the rise of the tea party and thank god donald trump was denied a second turn because we being gay people are trends people our rights we never finished our discussion about those five ministers. so let me wrap that up. as you sai

john lewis had it right.specting women, which truly this is what this is about. desantis doesn't. he tears them down. he tears down lgbtq. en unconscionable what he's done, but he's running for president of the united states. if we are to beat him which i believe we will on november 8th, that show ends right here in florida, people need our help. >> congressman, this is eddie glaude. i've got a sense of how you want to fight governor desantis. he's a cultural warrior. he's going to fight on that terrain. he mobilizes and exaggerates grievance. how you going to fight on that terrain? given the don't say gay stuff and all that he's doing, how are you going to battle on the cultural war field? >> eddie, that's a brilliant question. he is on the battlefield of hate. i'm on the battlefield of love. there's faith, hope and love. and greatest it's in corinthians in the bible. i'm going to beat him because i'm running on love and love always wins. if he wants to run on hate and culture wars and dividing people and ma

the side of john lewis, or bo connor, abraham lincoln or jefferson davis. >> sadly domestic enemy to our voting system and our honoring our constitution are right at 1600 pennsylvania avenue with their allies in the congress. >> maga republicans threaten economic security, threat to our very democracy. >> joe, that is the soul of your party, you are going to lecture us on the soul of the nation? where is your soul standing up to your party? are when will we hear you hold your own party or yourself accountable for the massive failures, wide-open border, crippling high inflation, surging crime in every big city because your pals supported defund, dismantle, no-bail law, record high gas prices you caused and foreign policy, one disaster after another? what we saw from biden earlier today was another election day conversion or election conversion on the issue of policing. biden is trying to pretend he wants to fund the police and understand stas behind law enforcement. hope he feels this way when hunter's home gets raided. >> the answer is fund the police. fund the police. and give them

if you read it john lewis about the civil rights movement, one of the interesting quotes lewis has is about how much of the civil rights movements is rooted the foundation are all about that idea we are created in the image of god. and that is the argument that they made very successfully i would argue about why racism they are working to and was so long. >> you mentioned and the book the netflix per trail of politics and people involved in politics. what would you say too people of faith who feel like they have a contribution to make. for feel like the climatete is e that isn't ready to listen to what they may have to share. or that it may not be useful, interesting or winnable if youy will? >> are the thing in addition to everything you just listed that i hear most frequently it's just all too muddy. i do not want to do it. the whole thing turns me off and i kinda feel pox on both of their houses i am fresher with both sides. it is one of the quotes i have in the book from martin luther you mentioned earlier. send your very best. send your very best into the public arena. in preachi

trouble when you are trying to stop it, causing trouble for somebody else, it's good trouble as john lewis would say. >> the old way of naming people troublemakers is like putting your knee on a man's neck is in trouble but if i come to town and say let's march that's trouble. so what is the idea of a troublemaker. it is a narrative shift of sorts like changing how we see that and respect it in so many ways the idea of it. so, the other piece that in the beginning one of the stories as you talk about so much of this as you get into it and unpack it and see the humanity of people but also the vulnerability and how they put themselves out there for the good of the people ngand that the challenge and tht people are doing that every day and it's gone unnoticed. >> you look at donella who got the video -- others stopped and started filming it. she just innately felt this is wrong what's going on here. she didn't study political science somewhere, she wasn't a part of the naacp. she's just an ordinary girl that said wait a minute, this is wrong. let me record it. i don't even think she knew what

just mentioning john lewis giving staff free food for three months.photograph of prince charles with mia mottley, the prime minister of barbados. this is marking the 40th anniversary. i'm slightly surprised by this. , the only national black british newspaper. i feel slightly a stain that i don't know enough to completely fact check that. i will take your word for it. but it is, as i said earlier, i think it's important that prince charles has chosen to use this special editing of the 40th anniversary edition to have himself pretrade with a leading political figure. which is a country where there is a very loud conversation about the monarchy and becoming a republic. the royalfamily knows it has work to do to renew its links with that nation. but i think it's sad and impossible not to view this in the light of the ongoing disputes between meghan markle and prince harry and the royal family. it cannot be a coincidence that the royal family has been accused of racism or at the very least, of nurturing some racist members within its ranks. prince charles

tomorrow we'll going to mention julian, not you seen hung up don't come to new orleans are you done, john lewis? i want to get all captain comes home clean it up. i extend my heartfelt gratitude to board chairman of the korean war veterans memorial foundation, general john h. talalay and his team for working diligently to complete the wall of remembrance. could you, in to know such a man hamilton journey? it shouldn't g to john can you lori about your go to louisville believe it or yeah cushing hall william voted unanimously than keeping it coming down. i also want to express my deepest respects to late colonel william weber, who dedicated his whole life to ensure the korean war never forgotten and for an advocate for the wall of remembrance project, tom young, soldier you know you too young. jun flooding me with a ton of money that he hangs on while you get a ton the mean will give it tangibly possible your trust in me that i didn't turn 100 it only taylor for you yet hello. and when you get to that i am hasn't done veterans and families 72 years ago many young americans bravely ran the fires

martin ticking and john lewis. we have to applaud this justice department forgetting guilty verdicts in the george floyd police killing, getting a guilty verdict in the lynch mob that killed ahmaud arbery and now getting these charges for breonna taylor, a black woman. we need to applaud them and remind people that is why we vote. >> all right, many thanks. again, our condolences to mary and margaret grier and -- thank you for sharing your story. always to our attorney general big crump, thank you for joining us again, as well. coming up, wnba star brittney griner remains in custody unjustly imprisoned in russia, after receiving a nine year sentence this week. we will have a update on efforts to bring her home. but first, my colleague richard louis with today's top new stories. richard? >> breath, good to see you. president biden, according to his doctor, tested negative for covid-19 this morning. the president experienced a rebound case of covid this week. he will be in strict isolation, pending a second negative

can you speak to why additional legislation like the freedom to vote act and the john lewis bill would complement the work we have done here? ms. nelson: yes. because election sabotage happens not just after ballots are cast and the votes are tabulated, it can happen in the way that electorate is shaped through voter oppression laws and through laws that erect barriers to the ballot. the john lewis of voting advancement act is critical to strengthening protection against voting discrimination we lost in the voting rights act of 1965 when the supreme court struck down the provision and disabled it. we also need the freedom to vote act to set minimum standard for access to the polls so voters and in florida and georgia and texas can benefit from same-day voter registration, for example, or robust vote by mail just like voters in california and colorado and other states. the uniformity of those voting measures will restore and bring greater confidence to our electoral system and will complement the work of the ecra. sen. klobuchar: mr. blunt. sen. blunt: mr. gore, professor muller, and pr

and the way for congress to take action is to pass a john lewis voting rights act.ou need two more votes in the senate to do so. so the democrats would have to, somehow get two more votes in the senate and hold on to the house in the midterms. so this getting into a political discussion. because right now, as tom said, there are four votes on the supreme court that have expressed support for this radicaldoctrine in the past. all it takes is one more. then it autobiography could be katie bar the door. and maybe you want to get legislation pass at the federal level to undo this. one good thing you guys have been reporting is that republicans seem to want to the feet from the jaws of victory. historical trends say they would gain seats when the democrats control the white house. but we'll see what happens. i mean, the republicans are trying to lose elections. and they're putting up these radical candidates who probably would like such an extremist legal theory as this one. >> all right, tom rogers. thank you very much. we'll be reading the new piece for newsweek. and s

in the black political power part which is by congressman john lewis another ordained minister was beinging rights. the movie some of the birth nation is based on the movie. and in it he says the worst team ever happened in history of civilization is not the defeat of the south by the north it was given the formally enslaved the right to vote. it was the reversal of all that was beautiful and true the history ofll civilization. it is an amazing passage. that was the betrayal. that was the up turning of civilization. by these unscrupulous people in the north. almost be hard to believe were happening now. >> that is why any of the series before this on reconstruction. i wanted people to realize what's happening now is a repeat of the robot reconstruction. 18601877 the maximum amount of freedom 13th, 14th and 15th amendment. it was allnd rolled back by the critical reduction. as the rise of donald trump and the rise of the tea party. and thank god donald trump was denied a second term. because we, meaning black people women, gay people, trans people, never finished our discussion about five

the growth of the black church and the growth of black political power which is why congressman john lewised minister was beaten on the pettus bridge. what were they marching for? voting rights as that was the heart of black power. the movie that, the movie birth of a nation is based on the novel and in it he says the worst thing that ever happened in the history of civilization was not the defeat of the south by the north, it was giving the formerly enslaved the right to vote. it was the reversal of all that was beautiful and true in the history of civilization. it is an amazing passage. he said that was the trail. that was the turning of civilization by these unscrupulous people in the north, these scalawags. >> it would almost be hard to believe if it werehappening now . >> yes, and that's why i made the theory before this on reconstruction because i wanted people to realize that what's happening now is a repeat and a roll back to reconstruction. reconstruction is that period where blacks faced the maximum amount of freedom and it was all rollback by that period called redemption and th

bill such as the john lewis voting rights act.the people act, offer an opportunity to restore voter protections, but they have been opposed by most republicans -- not only trump supporting election deniers, but also so moderate republicans, including senator mitt romney and congresswoman liz cheney. now, while i applaud congresswoman cheney's -- it is hard to view any republican as a true defender of democracy if they continue to tolerate discriminatory voting laws in republican led states. we are just over two months until the midterms. our democracy is more vulnerable than ever. it is not just maga republicans chipping away at voting rights, but in my view, g. o p as a whole, standing in the way of passing voting protections, as they cynically embrace obvious lies for short term gains. we are wise to their gain and we remain vigilant against their efforts. it is -- [inaudible] and all of us to call them out. i got you.
