james kenned kennedy would haven john kennedy if he was mortimer. if ray robinsonr smith junior, do you think this somehow had a profound affect on his destiny as a fighter? >> guest: yes, i think that he started giving the name sugar ray robinson. >> host: terrific style. all these issues we spoke about in the first half-hour comedy shine through when your name is sugar ray robinson in a way walker smith junior, which is a name that sounds a little bit as they say -- >> guest: yeah, it does. it's a little different. the flick of sugar ray. i mean he would walk down fifth avenue, madison avenue, harlem, anywhere, and women are spotted hiand say sugar! sugar ray! you know, real sweetly. he had the name and he knew that it had a stylish cachet to it and he prayed on it. he really did. >> host: why do you think boxers like sugar ray, jack johnson, mohammed ali, joe frazier, why do you think oxfords, particularly african-american but not solely african-american boxers enter the american psyche as much as political symbols, cultural symbols in a way that really does tra

not only the idea that john would stand for all, he always the patience to tell a tudent about what it was like before. i remember on the state of the 2015, there was amelia robinson you see, she was with john that day 50 years prior. to meet here in hopes president obama. office.my before we will stop by john's office. amelia, just wait right outside the chambers here, ecause the president has an escort party, and in that escort party, i'm one of them, but stand there and we'll make sure president comes out you'll greet. he had a picture of that day that you will see john leading. and when john would tell you the the of the march across bridge, he'd walk you up to one ertain place and then he says, i can tell you no more because i cannot remember. almost they beat him, o his death on that bloody sunday. i remember sitting with tim john speak about what happened that fateful day what he never forget said. when he would tell the story of the march he would stop at the oment as i said before that i cannot remember past this point because i had been beaten and i carried back and i almost died. reflecting on the violence he endured humility that he gave a little blood

eugene robinson was speaking a bit earlier about the incredible courage of john lewis that was exemplified at many points in his journey. but i want you to talk a little bit about, if you can, moral courage. that is something that is called upon more perhaps today. >> i think his moral courage stems from his -- he believed in doing -- it is usually all of the testimonials keeping hope alive. while i agree with everything martin luther king iii said, i don't agree that this is john's final journey because he went -- he's now along with mandela and -- i believe that that spirit that kept him going is going to help people who are suffering right now. john's belief in the promise of this country, i think that that's going to help restore the image of america in the rest of the world. it's suffering now. but today we are being reminded of america's promise and the fact that his journey along the mall is long but it ends towards justice. that's what today is going to tell the world, that we all need to follow the face of john and believe in the promise of this country, however challenging it can

robinson. and historian, john meacham, the author of the forthcoming biography of john lewis, entitled, "his truth is marching on" which accomplishes in october. >> john meacham, obviously as nancy said, john lewis was considered the conscience of congress. he also was a christian who was christ like. you look at the attitudes and so many of them apply to the life day in and day out for those of us who knew and loved john up close, those of us who only knew him from his public image, this was a man who always understood blessed are the meek, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. blessed are the peacemakers. john, he was all of that and so much more. and how fitting that he was remembered the way he was yesterday in washington d.c. >> you know, the secular and the sacred intersect in the rotunda at moments like that. and lewis was, in fact, i believe, a genuine saint in the classic new testament sense of the term. a man who was willing to die, to suffer for that vision, joe, you quote from jesus. he heard the gospel in troy, alabama as a young child. his life in troy was so com

there was amelia bowing robinson, but of course there was john lewis. never in my wildest dreams did i think that i would grow up and become alabama's first black congresswoman. and not only walk the halls with john lewis, but get to sit on the same committee with john lewis. john was a slice of home for me in congress. you see, looking into his eyes, i would see home. and all i would want to do is emulate home. john was a chief deputy whip, so i wanted to be a chief deputy wit. john was on the ways and means committee -- whip. john was on the ways and means committee. it sounded good to me. ohn was always allowing people to radiate in his smile and in his light. he could never talk about voting rights. if i were within an earshot he would say, and terry sewell represents alabama -- terri sewell represents alabama, where's terri? and we'd laugh. those mosts were so precious to me. those are the moments i cherish. when i would call him the boy from troy and he would call me the girl from selma. i would say, but, john, we have so much more to do. but he w

john adams. martin luther king jr. jacque robinson and christopher columbus.ow, columbus is notable because activists have targeted several statues of him across the country over the past several weeks. last night president trump fired back at those who are responsible for these kind of actions. >> we will never let them rip america's heroes from our monuments or from our hearts by tearing down washington and jefferson these radicals would tear down the very heritage for which men gave their lives to win the civil war. >> across the country today including in seattle, l.a., boston, d.c. and richmond, virginia, the department of homeland security has assigned special rapid deployment teams to those cities and others specifically to protect federal monuments and statues from vandalism. here's acting dhs secretary ken cuccinelli last night on "the story." >> we also have teams predeployed to cities or areas where we think we are more likely to be problem areas. we will be very forward leaning in maintaining the peace and keeping americans and our history safe. >>
