this is in 1867 with a foundation of the ku klux klan. they would have been like any other failed white group. the order of the white camellia. there is a bunch of southern groups trying to recapture southern pride through racial solidarity and resentment at freed blacks. they were all pretty much a failure. but one of them the ku klux, this clan people rumored they offered it to robert e. lee and lee said ask forrest. but there was one man that everybody thought embodied the bitterness and the grievances of the southern poor. these were poor white people who created this myth that they couldn't survive with these uppity blacks and scalley wags who had kept them down. this white supremacist group was different than the other ones. it didn't have the aristocracy or the plantation it had this new image that people were ghosts and they were calvary men and who better to emblemat emblematic, so they got sheets and got on horses at night. look what he said, this is at a time when there's no habeas corpus and there's thousands of union troops i

if they send the black men to hunt the ku klux, shoot the radicals. so he was absolutely defined, turned out that was trying to work with northern to create a business, he was poor but to southerners he galvanized what would have been another white supremist group that wouldn't have had much success, there was something about the ku klux klan that appealed to the south and this man and this man alone had the history and the energy and the anger and the venom to make it into something that would playing american life for the next century because the secret of the ku klux klan wasn't that it was racist, there were a lot of other racist organizations, and it wasn't that it was violent, there were a lot of other violent organizations, but it had this myth that it appealed not to the wealthy but to the people who were victims and poor and the victims of northern capitalists and northern industrialists and nathan forest saw that and he played on that and he was the -- the creator in some sense of the ku klux klan. that career started at shilo. let me try to

this is a ku klux klan banner om the knights of the ku klux klan and as you know the klan began after the civil war, it sort of goes underground, and then it sort of bursts new as a result of the film "the birth of a nation" and the klan becomes not a southern phenomena but ' and 30s and this banner is what people would use to celebrate their investment and their participation of the clue clux klan. so these are the kind

what you're looking at in the case is an authentic robe of the ku klux klan. the klan was actually formed in polas polaski, tennessee in 1866. at the height. k -- height of the klan movement, we were told they had 600 members. we consider them to be the first terrorist group because of the way they terrorized, murdered and attacked people. this is the 1900s skpch. and this is a part of the era where black people and the organization started to become more visible to promote unity and civil rights for people. this is the era where the naacp came into being at this time. ida b. wells, roy wilkins. this part of the movement kind of symbolizes different agendas as well. you had people preaching for better equality when it came to jobs and economic development and education, and then you have people like ida b. wells here who, at a very young age, at 14, was already a schoolteacher. but her passion was to actually publ publicize the atrocities. she would write stories about the lynchings and she would public photographs about the black men who were lynched througho

this is a ku klux klan banner. it began after the civil war, and it goes underground and then it sort of bursts new as a result of the film "the birth of a nation." and the klan becomes not a southern phenomena, but a national phenomena in the '20s and '30s and this banner is the kind of thing that people would use to celebrate their investment and their participation in the ku klux klan, so these are the kind of things that we have to make sure we tell the painful stories as well. and then i think that one of the things that is reallyis to recognize that so enough of what shapes a community is work. and so we wanted to make sure that we found things that would give people an understanding of the way that black america worked. and one of the most important stories, often a story that's not clearly understood, is the story of the pullman porter. this is a wonderful thing. in some ways we've become to a point where pullman in a stereo way as people who only served, who actually worked on the railroad to make sort of,

then he told her he was a hitman for the ku klux klan.other killings back east. and we now knew that this guy was from that area. from the composites alone, we were convinced we were on the right road. >> the registration card from the motel lists the name of the driver. while it's phony, police discover a trail of similar ail yuss. >> so we could place him in, i think, seven or eight different motels. we never found him after august 20th, which was the night of our shooting. it's like he just disappeared off the face of the earth. >> the salt lake city police catch a break when one astute motel owner writes down the camaro's real license plate number. a month later, this information pays off. >> i think 11:00 one night, i got a call saying head to the airport, they found this guy and they're flying you to i think the little town was called erlanger, kentucky, and they had arrested him at a motel on our warrant. >> in an odd turn of events, police in boone county, kentucky, while arresting a burglar at a local motel, encounter an angry an

they were not the fire breathing ku klux klanners at all. they were rational moderates. one of them, let's go to the bottom. let's look at the list of people who signed the letter. these are not just ordinary pastors, right? these are religious leaders. bishop of alabama. auxiliary bishop. bishop of the alabama west florida conference of the methodist church. another methodist bishop. this must be the catholic bishop and the catholic bishop as well. here we have the presbyterians. here we have someone who is a pastor of birmingham. we'll see a slide of it in a little bit. also, we have a rabbi, right? bet you didn't know there was a jewish temple. there were enough jews to have a temple. one rabbi in town signs onto exactly the same letter. one of these fellows, because king mentioned it in the letter, it's i don't know whether it's -- i think it must be bishop carpenter desegregated a catholic college nearby. these are the racial moderates. these are people that actually took brave stances with their own denominations and their own people in favor of some movement on ci

ku here and welcome and thank you for your presentation. [ applause ] >> thank you secretary, and what a great opportunity it is to address this group and talk to all of but the work that we're doing in i-civics and a lot of folks are doing around the nation on civic education. what icivics does is provide young people with the knowledge, skills and dispositions for intelligent citizenship, and it's so important for us as we're talking today about voter engagement to think about how do we prepare young people, tomorrow's voters, to be not just capable of voting, but being able to do so intelligently and in an engaged way where they're participating in democracy and they're working to advance our nation in our individual states and community. i don't think it would be a surprise to folks in this room who are really paying attention to politics and to the way people are engaging in politics that there are a lot of folks participating in the political system who aren't terribly well educated about how our system of government works, that we have three branches of government, for example,

freedom and they have to build a new world for themselves, in the world of discrimination, violence, ku klux klan. so they start churches, schools, schools and churches. and one writer says schools break out like wild flowers and define a school as anyplace where three people gather together and one of them can read and write. by the 1960s, we have 100 african-american colleges in the united states. we've got tulsa, we've got wilmington, and all of these communities become targets for white mobs. because white supremacy says african-americans, that no black person can do any better than the poorest white person. that's right. this goes on. now, so our reality in terms of the political and whatever is a little different. now, we're also operating in a community -- and the reason why i went to holing springs as a civil rights worker is because they were 70% black. if we can get register a few people to vote without getting them killed, we can elect a sheriff and a judge. by the time barack obama gets elected in 2008, there were 19 million african-americans registered to vote, 405 black ma

that she was running for governor, and she sflulfully uc won that after, in a runoff election with ku klux klan candidate. she became the governor. and we had an issue about how to educate children who are primary spanish speakers. back then, they just said, do we teach them in english or in spanish? m.a. ferguson was asked that when she was governor in 1923 or 1924. she said, how do we teach children who are primarily spanish speakers? and she responded what is the most infamous quote in texas political history when she said if english was good enough for jesus christ, it's good enough for the skilled children of texas. now, i don't know if that's true. i don't know if that's lore or legend. but it brings history right into today, and it makes people think about, you know, maybe there are some lessons to be had from what's occurred before. similarly when today you'll get to go to the archives. i think it's one of the options and we, have you know, i think the eye-watering documents over there. a couple of them are illustrative of i restoration. so you may not be able to see it. but w

okay, david duke -- he was the head of the ku klux klan -- give me a break. is it a label just for the sake of being pc, politically correct? especially since i didn't mean any offense. you have to be sensitive to those who might be offended, thus we have the reason for using the n-word instead of the word nigger. but how am i supposed to know that? i'm not some mind-reading gypsy, and then he krekcorrects him, ts rumanian, you bigot. >> we often sit in this class during this discussion saying in the 1950s and 1960s, certain words were used in fairly regularity. these were examples of derogatory terms and they were used in open form, and you understood because there was a context. nobody came to you because it sounded like another word. they didn't come after you at all. nowadays it becomes harder to explore these words and why they're appropriate and why they're not. particularly in literature. yes? >> me and my little brother used to watch "all in the family" every single night, and i didn't realize it was offensive until i was like older. i was just thinki

discussion today because if this same thing had occurred on the east coast, how much more of a ruk kus we would have heard. how much more we would have taken into consideration. i'm the only member on this committee from arizona. yeah, we lost a border agent. but we're further impugned because these gun are going to show up at crime scenes particularly in arizona from here to whenever. as well as the mexican government. and the mexican people who've lost over 300 people. and i think that i'm very taken back by when you said, you know, we shouldn't be doing this. we shouldn't be gun walking. and that everybody knows that's inappropriate. well, i'll tell you what. that shows me exactly why i'm so appalled. is that if there was a doctrine out there that said, listen, if you walk guns you're going to do time, that's the penalty that should be placed here. because that's what we're going to have to endure. and i'm finding it very upsetting that arizona is taking this on the face, and we trivialize what's going on here. i think we should be able to share all information. we talked about in l

he was the head of the ku klux klan. give me a break. it's more patronizing some label just for the sake of politically correct especially since i didn't peen any offense. he's saying his meaning should be taken more importantly than the word he used. thus we have the reason for using the "n" word instead of the word niggeer. how am i supposed to know that? i'm not some mind reading gypsy. >> he says that's romanian reading skrik you bigot. >> if you think how many times we change our language for fear of offending someone. part of our discussioning is we often said in our class during the 1970s and 1960s certain words were used with fair regularity in media and print and no one was offended. we talks about all in the family" where they used nigger, wop, kike. because it sounded like another word, they didn't come after you at all. nowadays it becomes harder to explore these as language particularly in literature. >> speaking of all in the family, me and little brother used to watch that every single night. i didn't realize that it was o

the murders of the american colonel and major, saying they were retaliation for the burning of the kuur american soldiers killed in a few days since the quran burning. thousands of people take to the streets and 27 killed in the protests. all of this began after the bung of copies of the quran at an airbase earlier this week. our military said it was a mistake and president obama apologized in a letter to afghan president harm my karzai saying it was accidental. counting down to the next major contest in the republican race for the white house. voters cast ballots in michigan and arizona on tuesday and then on super tuesday, march 6th, people in ten dates go to the policy. but have you ever wondered why these contests are held on a particular day of the week? now there's a push to move them to the weekend but the federal government is saying not so fast. we are in the west coast newsroom with more. the big question, why on tuesday, why not saturday? why, why, why? >> well, harris, dust off your history books. we have a lesson for you. can you believe that this law goes all the way bac

the way the last time they really made a decision in this area was 1964 involving publicly kag of a kugainst an individual who spoke at that rally that he was inciting violence. and the court has said unless you can prove that the person involved in the publication and the person making the speech knew that what they were doing was going to cause imminent violence, there's no crime and you cannot be prosecuted. so in the case of the website here, they're going to say we're not trying to inspire violence. and as a matter of fact, our publication of this has given the police evidence to investigate. so they're going to say we're actually helping law enforcement. that would be a hard defense to get around. and the other thought i would leave you with having watched your coverage of what's going on in syria, the syrian government would probably love to come in and say publication of those videos are in-smiring rebels to attack legitimate soldiers of the syrian government. and that's exactly the kind of suppression of free speech i think that we try avoid in the united states. >> you would
