martin luther king jr.lause ] >> so while we commemorate his memory today with this great memorial, let us not confuse nor forget what he stood for and died for. the young people around this nation organizing are very something, but let us not forget the ideals he gave up his life for, love, peace, equality, jobs, education, nonviolence, decent housing, and an end to war. >> reporter: just a lot of living history out here on the mall right now, candy. and once again, we're told the president of the united states now on his way over to this memorial for his part of this event. >> you know, joe, i talked with congressman john lewis, a man who i know you know well, as i do. and one of the things that we were talking about president obama, he said that on inauguration day president obama gave to john lewis a picture of the day and wrote on it "because of you, john," and the idea that this memorial is being dedicated -- and it's been 15 years in the making. being dedicated at time that an african-american is ser

martin luther king and coretta scott king. when they spoke, the crowd just was actually swooning for them because of what they had to say. so eloquently speaking about their father and remembering him. but earlier in the morning, i had the privilege of speaking with reverend jesse jackson, a man who walked and talked with dr. king and this is what he says. >> in jamestown, virginia, where slaves landed to this place 132 miles, to go from the ships to have the statue erected between presidents jefferson and lincoln and washington, that's a big deal. >> reverend jackson reflecting on what this deal is to him, now seeing this dedication taking place. he says it brings everything full circle but there's much work to be done in terms of achieving his dream. eric? >> dan rather was speaking, he covered the civil rights movement and you grew up, kelly, during the civil rights era and we've seen dr. king's children and we saw his sister, dr. christine farris, she's now 84 years old speak. what are your reflectionses awe stand there th

king's own handwriting. it is preserved here at the library, the start of what is literally a treasure of dr. king's thinking at the critical moments in civil rights history. for king, the pivotal moment came the next year when rosa parks was arrested on a montgomery bus. this is her lawyer, fred gray, only 25 himself, with the bus seating chart. >> that was a sort of unwritten understanding that the first ten seats, all of those seats, were basically reserved for whites. mrs. parks, i believe, was sitting if i'm not mistaken, she was sitting here. >> the driver asked blacks in that row to give up their seats to a white man. >> everybody got up but ms. parks, and she didn't and was arrested. >> dr. king was asked to be spokesman for a high-risk protest, a bus boycott. his longtime aide, andrew young. >> he was new in the community. and he had no enemies yet. and so he was sort of a consensus candidate just because he was young and fresh and was clear that he was smart. >> the boycott began the day rosa parks

king. president obama will also be speaking. we thought we'd take a look at some of the scup tur itself and some of the controversy surrounding it. powerful and imposing, a 30-foot tall statue of dr. martin luther king jr. emerging from a stone of hope. it made an immediate impression on his son. >> the very first time that i came to the site i was almost overwhelmed. i really was impressed by this artist. he was able to capture the essence of my dad. >> reporter: but not everyone is pleased with how the statue turned out or with the fact that the memorial foundation chose a chinese artist to carve it. denver-based ed white, a 70-year-old artist sculpted seven scat ttatues of king beli it missed the mark. >> having a seven-foot sculpture of this man, he would not appreciate that because that was not him. >> reporter: dwight was involved in the project early on and is credited for sculpting small stone of hope donor gifts. foundation panel shows the chinese sculptor to carve the statue. >> w

king.i wrote him a letter when i was 17. he wrote me back. sent me a round-trip greyhound bus ticket. and invited me to come to montgomery to meet with him. and i walked in that church. i was so scared. i didn't know what to say or what to do. and he said, oh, you're the boy from troy? are you john lewis? and i said, "dr. king, i'm john robert lewis." and that changed my life. >> reporter: lewis would become the chairman of snic, the student non-viernt coordinate's committee, a group known for its protests and sitins. it was a critical part of the civil rights struggle. lewis born just outside troy, alabama was one of the 13 original freedom riders. also with us was the wife of john ralph abernathy, juanita, who was born in lindy, am alabama. it was her husband ralph along with dr. king who organized the famous montgomery bus boycott. history would label that as the beginning of the american civil rights movement. >> dr. king was a down to earth person. he was not a snob. he could have been

king. in that legacy, keep protesting. remain nonviolent. stay disciplined, stay focused. don't just before fios system, restructure it, march 4 and even playing field, public rules, clear goals, transparency and march on to fight racial injustice and economic inequality and fight the economic and racial injustice. we all matter. dr. ki would say you must use the right to earn for the sacrifice and blood of the martyrs bridge you must use your minds and bodies as living sacrifices. you must use your vote, are passed legislation, litigation, and laws to protect the vulnerable. use your love building coalitions to remain focused on being the road of hope for those in the hall of the ship, the 99%. dr. king argued that leadership at its best was not meant to follow public opinion polls. it was meant to mold public opinion. to not do what is convenient are popular, do what is right don't be compromised to your vision. we fall down sometimes but we get up again and again because the ground is no

king.u feel that spiritual presence there? >> well, i mean, when i was there, i certainly felt that presence. you know, any time you're talking about our father -- for me -- and i guess because i'm the one that's in the ministry, it invokes that spiritual esend. if you're talking about him -- essence. if you're talking about him. it's hard for me to that memorial and not connect with who he was as a spiritual leader. and, you know, i had an opportunity to observe people who were coming to the monument. and i think for many of them, some of them were pausing, some of them -- a few places that you can sit there, sit and contemplating. and i think that's what dr. king does. he causes us to pause. and really think about what we're doing. what we're engaged in and how we can better our society and our world. >> now most of you can't be at the dedication ceremony in washington, so here's a way that you can feel like you're there. you can actually visit the memorial on line right now in some new a

king.to thank congressman john conyers who three days after the assassination put forth to the bill and it was popularized in song, ronald reagan signed the bill to help erect a monument. to all of them, we owe a very special round of applause. put your hands together, will you? [applause] i was glad to be a part of his core of disciples to work, organized a march and parade with him. here are today, one of the 32 miles from jamestown where the slave ships when the 432 miles. i remembered my last birthday with dr. king, january 15, 1968. he was planning a march on washington. it was a poor people's campaign to occupy the mall. were willing to engage in civil disobedience to do whatever was necessary in the nation's capital to get the attention of the government to shift the war in vietnam to a war on poverty at home. in his last sunday morning sermon delivered at the washington national cathedral, four days before his assassination, dr. king said we're coming to washington to demand that th

king. her and her brother, martin luther king, the iii. they brought it back to the economic circumstances of day and the injustice they think their father would see in today's society. so far, that's been the theme from some of the speakers that we've seen. that's not so much a reflection and joy and celebration of dr. king's life and of all the things that you cited and the fact that this memorial is in existence and being dedicated today, but also a reminder of the principles that he stood for. it's seven weeks late. hurricane irene washed out the first plans for the ceremony. august 28, 1963, that was the date 48 years later that they hoped to have this ceremony. obviously, hurricane irene came along seven weeks later. here we are on a beautiful sublime day on the national mall. president obama will be speaking later. one more thing, if we can get that shot back up of the memorial itself. in the 1963 speech. he set het his hue a stone of hope. you can see the symbolism, the granite moun

king. when i was growing up she would tell me the story about how he came to speak on support of the sanitation strike, she wanted to go and hear this amazing thing. she had never been in his presence before. she had seen him the week before and she thought that man had such pretty skin, but she participated in the march that went in chaos, and he came back and vowed to come back the following week, and she was like i want to be in his presence, and she asked her mother, big mama, my grandmother, can i go and hear him speak, and there was a rumor that somebody was going to bomb the church, and big mama was like sit your butt down, you are not going anywhere near that church, and she did not get to go, and the next day he was gone, and she lost that chance to be in his presence. that was the biggest regret of her life. >> the maid character in the play has your mother's name. >> yes, my mother's name. >> and then you engineered an alternate universe. >> yeah, it's a way to give my mother a r

king. today's figures show it is not working. it is his failure that means we -- whatly 1,000,001 peopl this government is pledged to do is everything we can to get our economy moving. that is why we cut corporation tax and why we are reforming the system. this is why we created the zone. i know what he wants. he wants us to change course on reducing our deficit. we would end up with interest rates like portugal and spain and italy. we it would send our economy into a tailspin. >> we want people to get back to work. what the prime minister does not seem to understand that unemployment goes month of. the cost goes up. hear people are in work. teen-age a credible flight for growth. it is not just young people. when was the last time the unemployment reached a level it has today. >> he is wrong. there are 50,000 more men and women than there were at the time of the election. there are half a million more credible jobs. he specifically asked about a credible growth plan. i would ask where is hi

king's. as i stand here today, i am reminded of what my father told me as a child, that there are two great men in this world m -- lk and jfk. at the time i understood this statement was significant but did not understood. why as a grown man, a father, and a husband, i appreciate why and i appreciate the fact that these men were heroes because they held fast to their convictions. they chose the path cannot travel because they had a vision of a greater good. dr. king's message of equality inspired the mission for our corporate foundation when we started it over 50 years. ago little did we know that soon thereafter, we would have the opportunity to contribute to something as powerful as this memorial. for many of us as a company working on this project for over 10 years has had a profound impact. it has been a great honor and a great privilege and a responsibility as well to be committed and to be in it wholeheartedly. it has united us in ways that we never expectant. what many of us find most

king.e often talks about -- the president talks about how change is never easy, change is hard and brought that up again today and also said, those with power and privilege, will always decry any call for change as divisive. which of course also seemed to be a reference to the polarization going on in washington today. so it was a day of celebration and a day of politics here, fredricka. >> athena jones, thanks so much, coming from the nation's capital. >> all right. today is a proud day for the king family. i recently sat down with two of the late civil right leader's children to hear what they think about their father's memorial. >> i remember our mother often saying to us, any time we would have dinner or any other kinds of conversations, honor and suffering is redemtive and i think about all of the sacrifice that so many people paid and to be standing here to see this is kind of like a redeeming moment for us. >> how significant is it that his memorial is the only one in the washington

king?his voting rights bill came into being to end not only discrimination in its overt expressions and voter registration, but also to remove the atmosphere of intimidation for economic reprisals and the creation of fear that cause people not to vote. one of the things we have found is that when you have federal registers in communities, many more negros go out to register because they see a different atmosphere, and they are not over arched over under gerted with the fear of economic intimidation in which they deal with some of the local registers they have dealt with on so long. >> i tried to get a memorial earpiece, and that would pay tribute to the era, and we could not find them. more and more states are pushing voter id laws, and making it harder for older, poor and disinfranchised to vote, and more of them don't have i.d.s, and joining me now to talk about the issue is congressman steve cone, a democrat from tennessee. good to have you with us this morning. >> nice to be with you fr

king's teachings. he calls on us to stand in the other person's shoes, to see through their eyes, to understand their pain. he tells us that we have a duty to fight against poverty even if we are well off, to care about the child in the decrepit school even if our own children are doing fine, to show compassion toward the immigrant family with the knowledge that most of us are only a few generations removed from similar hardships. to say that we are bound together as one people and must constantly strive to see ourselves in one another is not to argue for a false unity, that papers over our differences and ratifies an unjust status quo. as was true 50 years ago, as has been true throughout human history, those with power and privilege will often decry any call for change as divisive. they'll say any challenge to the existing arrangements are unwise and destabilizing. dr. king understood that peace without justice was no peace at all. that aligning our reality with our ideals often requires the speaking

"you did a good job." when he got to dr. king, he said, "you had a dream." >> what does the dedication of this memorial mean to you personally? >> the dedication of this memorial just is -- it's unre

king. dr. king used to come to your home when he was in new york and stayed there.l us, you know, the world is memorializing him this weekend with a monday mustn't, but you knew dr. king. tell us who he was to you, the kind of person and character he was. >> dr. tinge was what i dearly hoped all america would know him to be. i think a lot has been lost to us by those who -- not the divine intervention is not the miracle of all things, but to be totally dependent on divine intervention can sometimes lead you askew. everybody says we're the next dr. king. i hasten to answer that question, where was the first dr. king before you met him? he was silent. he was somewhere off into the rural parts of black america, and the most humble of an environment with a tiny church, a wife who was pregnant. they came to him and said we'd like you to be part of our movement, and he said, no, i don't think i can do that. they said action would you at least come to the church? he said, yes, i can listen to what you have to say. i'll never forget, a.d. nixon, the one who invited him was

king. he kept on marching until change finally came. and then even after the civil rights act and the voting rights act passed, african-americans still found themselves trapped in pockets of poverty across the country. dr. king didn't say those laws were a failure, and he did not say this is too hard or let's settle for what we got and go home. instead, he said let's take those victories and broaden our mission to achieve not just civil and political equality, but also economic justice. let's fight for a living wage and better schools and jobs for all who are willing to work. in other words, when met with hardship, when confronting disappointment, dr. king refused to accept what he called the isness of today. he kept pushing towards the oughtness of tomorrow. and so as we think about all the work that we must do, rebuilding an economy that can compete on a global stage, fixing our schools so that every child -- not just some, but every child gets a world class education, and making sure tha

king. try. standing here like a fool in high-heeled shoes at 77 years of age. [applause] so, you see, i knew dr. king. and to talk about dr. martin luther king is to talk about hope. the first time i met him in the early 1960's, when i was about 12 -- [laughter] i was really struck by what a quiet man he was. always seemed quiet, but the first time i heard him speak, suddenly, it was is it if he was bringing up fire of hope over all of us -- it was as if he was bringing a fire of hope over all of us. we all needed, desperately, a man like dr. king to turn our hopes and dreams into action. he aroused in us a total commitment to his dream, which drew 1/4 of a million of us here in 1963. in those days, i must confess that i was afraid to come to washington, because it was the south and it operated like the south. i was of little girl from new york, and not always scared the girl-- i was a littlte from new york and that always scared the hell out of me. i can remember good reason for it feeling
