doctor king was also a prominent and prolific writer. this, from his 1963 book of sermons, strength to love. quote. darkness cannot drive out darkness. only light can do that. hate cannot drive out hate. only love can do that. and today, from assistance to radical resistance, many events to honor the life and legacy of doctor king in the east bay. from a day of service to a day of action, community members across oakland remember doctor king's legacy. several volunteer groups picking up shovels and trash bags and cleaning up the streets and planted trees across the town. at the same time, hundreds of people gathered at city hall and focused on reclaiming what organizers call the radical legacy of doctor king. it's so important that we honor doctor martin luther king jr. and those that stood beside him to really recognize their work and to take what they've done, to take what they've done and take it to the next level. and we're clear that when the enemy feels as if they're losing the fight, that's when they strike the hardest, the most v

king taught us and the king family's here, you know i'm always quoting coretta scott king.urs is a journey. ours is a journey. and the fight that we are in, which is the fight to uplift the people, the fight for freedom, the fight for civil rights, the fight for dignity, the fight for human rights, must be fought and won with each generation. and what we know is that our definition of the win is the definition that takes us over a period of time, where part of how we measure the win is are we making progress? how we measure the win is based on the knowledge that it is an enduring fight. and that we must be strong and that whatever the outcome of any particular moment, we can never be defeated. our spirit can never be defeated. because when that happens, we won't win. and as far as i know, and am concerned when i look at the group of leaders here, this is a group of winners. [applause] this is a group of winners. so let's stay in the fight. let's do what we got to do. and, again, i thank you, n.a.n., for all that you have done for me and so many people who are not in this ro

it's not that the king has died because of the king dies. then there's a new king. it's more a question of this legitimate see who has the right to rule and here we have i'm not sure how big this comes out these are these are some maps that i put together with a team with we had the leverhulme trust and here show the hunters the warrior the autonomous governments that were organized in different parts of south america. there were also one in mexico, an attempt mexico. and of course, in mexico there's a movement that is quite slightly different with merely the alamo. but we have the first hunters in la pass and in quito in 1809. and when the first hunter is organized in, be saka. and then in la paz, july 1809, the viceroy of peru is going to declare that if the king is absent, he is still the viceroy. he's still charge and, therefore. so the war begins in the southern andes between troops and from the southern provinces, peru coast guard to keep up, you know, into what today bolivia. erik, we'll talk more about. but war begins very early in this region troops sent fr

also, a train ride to honor martin luther king jr. our marianne favro will show us how some parents and chi there. earlier today, we saw him sign a number of executive orders in front of a huge crowd inside an arena. and now he continues to do the same. right now, we don't exactly know how many additional executive orders he plans to sign, but as we see there, he continues to sign more. we will keep you updated on that. and as president trump resumes office, he's making a lot of changes. and that includes one that will impact people who buy and sell cars. here's our marcus washington with more. well, new car buyers are paying extra close attention as donald j. trump is now the president. that's because there are concerns costs will soon increase with the new administration hitting and hinting at changes. now those include new tariffs on items from mexico, china and canada that may impact american auto production. not only that, but mr. trump is suggesting that he may drop incentives to buy electric vehicles. he's pledging his commitme

us of king. it points us back to king. it says when we move forward, you all, we got to do it in the spirit of king. >> king isn't the only one asking us to pay close attention to trump's words. tomorrow, reverend william barber, the civil rights leader who will deliver the keynote speech at the annual king day service at ebenezer baptist church, is even calling for prophetic listening sessions. in fact, organizers of that ceremony purposely scheduled it so that it wouldn't conflict with trump's speech, barber explained. we need to decipher that speech so we know where our battle lines are and what our struggles will be. doctor king didn't turn away from struggle. he turned toward it. the split screen between donald trump's inauguration and the services and marches honoring martin luther king's mission and legacy is already jarring. but consider the fact that tomorrow we could have been watching the swearing in ceremony of america's first woman president, as well as our country's first black and

doctor king's daughter, the reverend bernice king, made note of the contrast between the two men. >>ardless of how this day shows up for you, we must remember the mission and be in pursuit of it. >> this year, this year's celebration theme is mission impossible protecting freedom, justice, and democracy. in the spirit of nonviolence. and right here in the bay area. doctor martin. martin luther king, jr. s legacy was marked with powerful messages as well as marches. ktvu james torres has the story. mlk, mlk, mlk, fresh off of the caltrain people of all ages and backgrounds, prepared to march in san francisco as part of an annual tradition. >> we're still marching for the same thing unconditional love, freedom, freedom of speech, you know, bringing people together of all ethnicities. so that's what it means. >> the mlk march train happens every year, taking off from san jose and stopping in san francisco before hundreds of people marched the streets in celebration of all that he's done for us. >> so we come out to show our support. >> earlier this morning, the northern california chapt
