king. the american secretary sent him specific orders. he received the orders. the second week of april, and so he's looki in thething. countryside. he's looking at what he is, again, what's really out there. he's looking at what the king thinks is out there, and so what does he do? general gage, you know what you would have done, right? you would have resigned. [laughing] and told him, your majesty, i have a sore thumb, i can't fire, i can't go on. why didn't he do that? i don't know. he was kind of a mysterious fellow. we really don't know him and we won't ever really know him. one of the nice things that the king did was, he had already dispatched gage replacement who waseneral how. and so gage knew if he didn't do what the king wanted, that general how was going to replace him. general how probably is going to get here the third week in may, the end of makeup of 1875, and gage knew that so why didn't he developed a bad stomach? or a four-foot, whatever, let general howe deal with this m

martin luther king jr.rst started coming to this house in the late 1950's, early 1960's. as a young minister, that's when he met my parents. he was ministering in montgomery, his first church, dexter. and he would come to selma and to selma university, which is directly across the street from the house, to participate in classes and to give lectures at selma university. so he would come and spend the night here in the early years. during that time you probably had a 30% african-american population. 70% caucasian population here. and there was some racial tension here. selma was a product of the south. it had come through the early part of the century. into the 1920's and 1930's and 1940's under jim crow. the races had gotten to the point where everyone was existing and things were somewhat fragile during that time. my father moved here from indiana, was raised in anderson, indiana. my mother had deep, deep roots here in selma. and in alabama. so she was a native. and they made the decision to make selma the

king had lived.his work in chicago had been somewhat disappointed and i think it's probable there was a gathering in washington. i haven't been doing that well. there is one other element they were bringing people of many ethnic and different racial backgrounds back together to try to unify them for the purpose of protest and some kind of coherent message that they were going to deliver to congress. good african-americans and the people of puerto rican background you have white people from appalachia so the idea that you can combine all of these different ethnic backgrounds into one unified message was another challenge they face. i am interested in a civil rights question. you get into all of the dimensions of him as a human. as a writer what would you say would be a moment where you felt the most personal connection to king i think i would say that one i can't that while i can understand his courage i think it's towards the end of the speech you see his courage facing death and coming to terms with
