kennedy, a young john f. kennedy, was at that event. david rockefeller, who was part of a long history of industrial, financial family strengths, was also there. in fact he somewhat dated kathleen kennedy for a minute back at the time. and so the ties, these connections, were -- went through all sorts of social and events that people wouldn't be involved in. >> host: not just the social and the individuals but as you're just alluding to, the strength of the families as well. and those family ties that run deep. the morgan, rockefeller,

, john kennedy.ad known that, would you vote for john kerry for president, again knowing what you know now? >> guest: knowing what i know now and knowing what i know now about richard nixon, yes, i would vote for john f. kennedy. not simply because my last name is kelley. that would not have been the reason. i would vote for john f. kennedy based on the speech he gave in june of 1963 when he talked about civil rights and he introduced civil rights legislation. i think that speech ennobled his presidency. and his presidency was flawed. the cuban missile crisis, the step up in vietnam. but what he said on civil rights to me was a shining moment. he taught about civil rights is a moral right, as something that's clear is the constitution and the soul of the scriptures. that night, after he gave that speech, his popularity went from 60% to 47% like that. ebbers was murdered that night. john f. kennedy went into the presidency as most presidents do, thinking foreign policy is going to be their biggest iss

grandson of president kennedy. he just drove in after finishing his final exams, so he can now officially say he is a senior at yale. you know, some people after you take final exams, some students worry about what the results of his exams. when he is not writing op-eds, he writes for the yale "herald," serves as an emt, and he is the newest member of the profile in courage award committee. like his grandfather, he is no shrinking violet. he left all of us know including the chair exactly what he thought about generational gaps and things in gender and diversely, and very big for my very helpful. [laughter] he has taken on his work with wisdom, with gusto. we are very fortunate he is willing to serve. ladies and gentlemen, it is my great privilege to introduce jack schlossberg, who will introduce the 2014 profile in courage award recipient. thank you. >> thank you. if you ever want my criticism on anything, you just give me the word and i will be happy to. on behalf of my family i join them in welcoming you today.

kennedy's and that made all the difference. >> john kennedy taking the stance to define a in on national tv civil rights as a moral issue, we won't do it just because it is good strategy or because we are forced to do it but because it is right. that night they shot medgar evers in the back because they understood the climate, the whole issue had changed. when it became a moral issue for the president of the united states who was dragged kicking and screaming into civil rights it is like slavery becoming a moral issue. not just an issue of policy but they recognized this ultimately meant war. >> this reminded me that early on, thurgood marshall had no sense of who dr. king was. who is this preacher down south? as late as the 1960s the naacp is worried about him and lax collection of money, taking money out of their coffers etcetera but the strategic difference is such that thurgood marshall is of the opinion that dr. king is a great speaker. he is a wonderful speaker. he can change hearts and do this and do that. you walk away from a king speech and are so enthused you go back to segrega

wife victoria kennedy joining me with a preview of the kennedy institute in massachusetts.th us right here on "andrea mitchell reports," only on msnbc. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. who would have thought masterthree cheese lasagna would go with chocolate cake and ceviche? the same guy who thought that small caps and bond funds would go with a merging markets. it's a masterpiece. thanks. clearly you are type e. you made it phil. welcome home. now what's our strategy with the fondue? diversifying your portfolio? e*trade gives you the tools and resources to get it right. are you type e*? because you can't beat z

kennedy, she was a very private person.an irish priest will be sold at an auction. >> these letters reveal her innermost feelings and insecurities, including her thoughts about jfk's indiscretions and her terrible unhappiness following his assassination. our tom foreman has the details. >> i wondered perhaps you'd tell me some of the issues you think is important in this campaign. >> reporter: she was only 21 and on a trip to ireland when she met the man who would become part confessor, part adviser and part pen pal. the 73-year-old irish priest joseph leonard. from the start, she wrote about her most intimate thoughts. for example, a new york stockbroker she was dating. so terribly much in love for the first time and i want to get married. it's the deepest happiest feeling in the world. that relationship ended. when she met the young and ambitious john kennedy, she wrote about that too. he's like my father in a way. loves to chase and is bored with the conquest and once married needs proof he's still attractive so flirts w

it is offering a glimpse into the life of jackie kennedy. >> jackie kennedy was a private person and rarely revealing her feelings but there was someone she confided in, a man of the cloth from irish. she expressed her struggles with faith and wanted to get close to god again and meeting the young congressman, john f. kennedy, he's like my father in a way, loves the chase and bored with the conquest and needs proof he's still attractive and flirts with other women and recents you. the letters show life at the white house and in the spot light was hard for her. maybe i'm just dazzled and pictured myself in a glittery world of crowned heads and destiny and not a saturday housewife. that world is glamorous from the outside but if you are in it and lonely it can be a hell. this mother's day, her daughter paid tribute to her. my mother was a woman of tremendous courage and commitment and she worked hard to do her very best every day of her life. and she worked hard to protect her children. in 1964, i am so bitter against god. but i have to think there is a god or i would have no hope of f

it made him sick, kennedy told an aide. kennedy was not alone. cbs news correspondent erika shaffer i've said on the nightly news, the snarling police dog set upon a human being is recorded into the problem of photoelectric file of every human being brain. so thank you. >> when i look back at the major changes in the law, they are almost always without a crisis. [inaudible] i think of 9/11 and so did all that was our greece, things move quite rapidly, and wondering, turn the question around, whether it's a crisis is, that captures the imagination, inherit democracy? do we need in order to make progress? >> i think there's a strong case for the. it's necessary but not sufficient. i think there has to be the groundwork laid. you could also point to a lot of crises when nothing happened. to go back to newtown, a specific example where you simply did not have organizations and the momentum that was a blatant in society to take advantage of it. by the time the crises of 63 happened, you didn't have, and maybe people weren't even aware of it in the mon

kennedy. >> he had a lot of guts. what he did to try to save his man after his boat was ran from a japanese destroyer is unbelievable. >> kennedy dove into a burning sea to pull his men back in the wreckage and then swam for two miles with an injured sailor despite his own serious injuries. he finally got word of their survival back to bit. robinson said he was asked if he wanted to attempt a rescue. >> if the commanding officer in the united states navy asked you to do something, it has to be the greatest idea in the whole freaking world. >> we were going in against japanese destroyers with little wooden boats. >> againsted toes, robinson sailed his own pt boat in 30 miles of enemy-controlled

he was told by the clerks that it's a big job that the justice kennedy is flowing opinion in the case that didn't necessarily mean they couldn't criminalize. >> so you described the book, you said in the book it would be an incredibly talking about the lawsuit. the movement was made up of a constellation of established groups that have been fighting for the equal rights and that they woul would up and the state strategy that groups had been pursued, and then you go on to say at the time they were two states that allowed. they shared a willingness to challenge the conventional wisdom especially if they believed that they were not good enough and you go on to talk about in the book starting a revolution. about two again speak on the framing of the book it seems to me that this story is happening alongside so much other work, and that work gets either largely dismissed were you sort of right about the establishment being conservative and then pushing against this bold idea or we mentioned mary twice in the whole book and most people think of her as the architect. >> host: it is an import

kennedy was dragging his heels on making things happen. the country was still kind of coming back from the cuban missile crisis and just wanted normalcy. king wrote about this. he had every january he would write an essay for the nation where he gave a report card about where civil rights had come over the last year and where it was going, and his essay for january of 1963 was pretty bleak. he was not very hopeful that something would happen. then -- of course, he says this to the national public, or to in the nation's readership, at the same time he was planning birmingham, and so what this book -- and birmingham at first was -- they kind of had to get momentum going, but this kind of -- this begins with the moment when that all turned. so, the momentum on civil rights changed at 1:00 p.m. on may 2, 1963, when the doors of the 16th street baptist church in birmingham, alabama, burst open and school christian poured fourth singing "we shall overcome." the executive director of the southern christian leadership conference and the strategic

you have a paragraph in the book where you'' olson then justice kennedy and go back and forth.as striking because a lot of that language came from it was not the case i wonder if that was of bits of an effort to to have more play in the doma decision not that it was not influential. >> one of the interesting things about these cases is there is attention that kaplan always felt doma the a joke in the office is e.d. windsor was already married and olivetti gay. she tried to make it seem like this is the tax case i am asking for a historic landmark case but she finds herself having to argue alongside olson who absolutely says i want a huge landmark decision and there is a moment there at court together. this tension bubbles up a little bad and they pretend to be a justice they say the more passionate and she thought to herself if he wins i will win also but if he loses i don't want to go down with him. so for all along both sides felt they did not want to argue alongside each other but they both benefited to be there together. the fact that chad olson won on the technicality that

kennedy, a young john f. kennedy, was at that event. david rockefeller, who was part of a long history of industrial, financial family strengths, was also there. in fact he somewhat dated kathleen kennedy for a minute back at the time. and so the ties, these connections, were -- went through all sorts of social and events that people wouldn't be involved in. >> host: not just the social and the individuals but as you're just alluding to, the strength of the families as well. and those family ties that run deep. the morgan, rockefeller, kennedys. >> guest: the roosevelts, james roosevelt, fdr's father, and jp morgan, the famous and powerful jp morgan,crafted together among a few other established families, the metropolitan club in new york, very exclusive club where these men could get together and talk about affairs of the day and decide things, in a very small, tight environment. >> host: borders on royalty almost. >> guest: it really was. when you think about it, even the terms today that are used for ascension, the throne, the hierar

kennedy was at that event. david rockefeller was part of a long history of estoril financial strength. in fact, he dated kathleen kennedy for a minute. the thais commend these connections who went through a series of social event that people would be involved in. >> host: was not the social and individuals, but the strength of the families as well and has family ties, the morgans, rockefellers, kennedys. >> host: james roosevelt and jpmorgan can be immensely famous and powerful jpmorgan created together among a few other established families at the metropolitan club in new york, which was an exclusive club where these men could get together and talk about affairs of the day and decide to a small group. >> host: it is royalty almost. >> guest: it really was. today they are used for drawing up the hierarchy in terms of industry and banking today. the heir to the throne of jpmorgan chase. even the terminology has that same to it and certainly back in the beginning erratic at portion of it there's only three or fou

kennedy, a new crusade came to washington led by ronald reagan.im to try and tap that great american spirit that opened up this completely undeveloped continent from coast to coast and made it a great nation. schoumacher: john f. kennedy and lyndon johnson had called on the government to help those in need. ronald reagan called on the government to get out of the way so people could help themselves. reagan administration budget director, david stockman, told congress that the job corps had flunked the cost/benefit test. too much cost, not enough benefit. the cost? $15,000 a slot, he said. more than a harvard education. it made me laugh to see david stockman resurrecting that old canard this year as a justification for closing up the job corps. that was all discussed back in the '60s. the fact is it's not true. the actual costs of the entire job corps operation per enrollee is about 6,000 bucks. now, that's a lot of money. i'm not trying to minimize it. but the question is, is it better to spend $6,000 to transform that young man or woman and turn

and justice kennedy wrote lawrence and was considered a swing vote on all these issues. he said he was told by these clerks that it's a big job and justice kennedy is beautiful flowing opinion in the lawrence case didn't necessarily mean that the state would criminalize the behavior. >> host: you describe the book and i will just read this any say in the book it would be an incredibly bold -- the movement was made up of a constellation of established groups fighting for years for equal rights. a federal lawsuit with completely up and the state-by-state strategy the states have been pursuing and then you go on to say at the time they were just two states that allowed same sex marriage and you said chad in broad shared a willingness to challenge the conventional wisdom wisdom and you go on later to talk about or earlier in the book to talk about chad starting a revolution. i guess against the framing of the book question for a moment it seems to me that this story is happening alongside so much other work. that work either gets largely dismissed and write about the gay est

he walked across the street to kennedy high school where he got help. we will also tell you some parents are not convinced their children are safe. they have been coming to the school and taking their kids home. >> i can keep him safe. i'm not saying they didn't, but they did. but i can keep him safe, too. >> reporter: sylvia whitley raced to the school after hearing about the shooting on the news. the students were getting into their classrooms when they reported shots nearby. a group of people were fighting in the park across the street from kennedy high school and that is then a suspect fired a shot at a 14-year-old boy, a student at kennedy. the boy was shot in the leg and taken to children's hospital in oakland. administrators put their emergency plan in place locking down the school and a nearby elementary school. >> we have emergency preparedness strategies in place. school was locked down. teachers were told to stay in their class until all was clear and the kids would be kept safe. >> there are a lot of people in the area, not just students, so

finally the kennedy family doctor who had treated president kennedy for his back comments to delano to try to help. she watches him walk and she sees right away that he is crooked. he has this extreme case of asymmetry. she she tells him this and he so relieved because it's a simple solution. you just to even out your shoe. she also tells him he has it been as to my leo fletch because his second toe is longer. the reason we know all of this is because he taped it. the fact to me that here's a man who was flat on his back in tremendous pain and has the presence of mind in terms of preserving history, his own history to turn on the tape recorder and 40 years later i'm sitting in the lry

kennedy isn't a big macho alabamaian.s a small, neatly dressed man so rove spread a rumor according to former staffers that kennedy was a pedophile. he did it in a dooefs way. he told republicans at the university of alabama that when they went home on vacation they ought to spread the rumor to create the effect of a rumor coming from every corner of the state to lend credence. it was devastating to kennedy who managed to eke out a win but didn't seek re-election. >> just to be clear, i don't want toru mor monger myself you had campaign staffers telling you this in your reporting. >> that's correct. >> 1994. rove is running a campaign against ann richards. rumors start popping up about her sexuality including a push poll about whether people would be more or less likely to vote for ann if they knew she would be a lesbian. >> you are injecting into the political dialogue rumors that have the effect of either impugning your opponent or changing an unfavorable political narrative into one that's more favorable to your candid
