there the words of nazis, the torches from the ku klux klan. >> they're message echoing.eople are disturbed by the chants and images from the march through living rooms across the nation. >> your organization has been tracking hate for years. what was so different about charlottesville? >> it was literally the largest rally of its kind we've seen in well over a decade. there's no question, something has changed. and it's deeply troubling. >> this represents a turning point. >> troubling because this white supremacist unite the white rally in charlottesville, virginia, defined a new daunting and divisive direction in our country. >> we are determined to take our country back. >> reformed neo-nazi and author christian piccolini believes the khakis and their made-up moniker, all tt-right, are just new name for an old hate. when you saw those torches, what did you think? >> we've seen an metastisis. >> their intolerance was met with resistance. >> the outbursts have been violent. >> the resistance was met with terror. one woman died in this crowd when that car suddenly accele

ku klux klan, pretended they needed some help they beat him up pretty bad.tairs and saw him and -- were going to put some bullet holes in it. that's when they left. that's why he had a lot of stitches put in said. i never did tell them we never did tell my mother that we were involved in civil rights because we're going to get a flat word, no. because of fear. this was a dangerous little town during that area. it did anything out of the ordinary, you step out of line, you could be killed. your house could be burned down. your family could be put into. they there were some a different obstacles can lose your job, everything in your home. the most families, so many were fearful during that time that we as kids we were called for kids. we with the kids, just take a chance. we didn't know we can anything to lose but didn't tell our parents. the only time my parents knew that we were involved when my sisters and brothers windchill. i had to go home and tell my mother, we were all, the very first march we all put our name in the book. we did that because come to l

ku klux klan -- pretended they need some help. and they beat him up pretty bad.e're going to put some bullet holes in and that's what they left and put in this head that after the the first distinct they were on time. but we remember to tell my mother that -- because we were going to get a flat word, no. because of fear. this was a danger little town during that area. if you did anything out of ordinary you stepped out of line, you could be killed. your house would be burned down and families will be put in jail there were some of obstacles and fearful during that timing. but we as kids -- we caught on the other side of the railroad track, because we were poor kid. [laughter] and so we were the kid that was willing to take a chance and we didn't know if we have anything to lose but we didn't tell our parents. only time my parents knew that we were involved when my brother was in jail. i went home and tell my mother -- we were all the very first march, we all put out a name in the book -- because of it we did that because to let them know who is many jail and the

we pay the price with the ku klux klan, but at least we did not pay a worse price. we could have. , we could bet war at each other's throats even today. said there are some civil wars which never end. i remember reading a few years , a a book by david reef journalist and bosnia -- in bosnia during the 1990's. he was interviewing a bosnian leader and as he was leaving, one of the staff members of this bosnian leaders slipped a piece of paper into his hands. when he left, he opened it up. one thing was written, 1358. battle --the here are people and the 1990's who believe they are still fighting a civil war from 600 years before. could we be doing the same today? quite possibly. wrong inings reconstruction, but there were at least some things we did right. author of the new book, "reconstruction and a new history." i know there are questions out there and we are going to transition. >> if you have a question, please stepped to the microphone gelso will be happy to answer questions. >> part of the problem, the average person will not know what you were talking about or

why do you allow david duke of the ku klux klan to say that you've been really helpful?e mainstream media. these guys don't exist unless you make them a big deal. they‘ re totally irrelevant as far as... first off, they're all cranks. donald trump has said that, i have said that. they're all cranks and some very... you know, spencer and duke, these guys are cranks. the only reason they exist is because msnbc and bbc is down there with the camera giving them a platform. if you cut them off, nobody would ever hear from them. look at the company you keep in europe. you told a rally of le pen supporters when they call you a racist, wear it as a badge. 0k. but don'tjust go there. what was the build up? i said donald trump has the lowest black unemployment in history. donald trump has the lowest hispanic unemployment in 25 years. if you look at the policies of donald trump, ok? anybody, martin luther king would be proud of them, of what he's done for the black and hispanic community for jobs. so i said if what they're going to do... you think martin luther king would be proud

i mean, the clue ku klux klan rising in the 1920s and '30s. how did the coury grapple with that and get through it? >> there are parallels because there was a great deal of anxiety about immigrants, there was a great de anxiety about global affairs becae we had come out of the first world war, and working class, middle class white movement refounded the ku klux klan. there were senators, governors who were explicitly members of the klan. how did we get through it calvin coolidge limited immigration so it took some oxygen out of the fair, but also a free press said this is not who we are, harding and coolidge said this is not who we are, t d, ultimately, our better angels prevailedast briefly. >> woodruff: there are so many other examples but one of the principle one is the red scare, after world r ii, the 1950s, is mccarthy era, and roy cohn was a figure, someone who co incidentally was a mentor to donald trump, was a figure. >> we hope itco'cidental. >> woodruff: yeah. in many ways the9 130s and early $1,950 are the most aknoll gauss periods.

wrong but protesting with the tiki lights and not realizing that this is bringing the image of the kuwhich is a supremacist organization, and releasing deep seeded feelings in the country. >> and when you gave president obama the speech on race, and he did not want to, but he had to, and we often look to the president of the united states in this country, when we are looking for leadership when it comes to such painful pieces of video that we have had to watch several times in this segment, and what might be able to be said by this president that could get us to a better place? >> i am not sure that president trump is necessarily in a position to give a talk about the treatment of people of color an marginalized people in the country country. it is a subject that he has not broeshed in any specific detail either in the campaign or the presidency, and as gloria mentioned, in the campaign when those issues sort of came up, it was sort of a spectacle talking to african-americans, and specifically, what the he will, l do you have so lose, and referencing my african-american speaking to on

back in the air era of ku klux . we can get very upset when the reporting is improvedment. it's actually a sign of improvement that we know more about the fakes. maybe sometimes we're confusing more reporting about say narl disasters with the feeling that this phenom na itself is increasing. it's actually an increase of reporting. this is one rule of thumb among roughly 50 by the end of the chapters. and imagine we could teach this to schoolchildren. at low ages to learn how our processing of information is systematically skewing our picture of the world with statistics as therapy. go to the u.n. website. look at statistics and you're going to get surprised. the world is not as bad as you thought it was. >> i need a dose of that therapy. but it is interesting. there are less conflicts. there are lease people killed in war. although the syria war has skewed that upwards now. l listen, there are really awful things happening. there is is racism. there is anti-immigration, antimoo anti-migrants. there are actually really bad things happening right now. >> yes. and the book is

that got people talking in black klansmen spike lee tells the story of a black cop who infiltrates the ku klux klan. door here spike lee has been camping many many years way way back he was here with do the right thing which in my opinion should have won the palme d'or it didn't present the jury did not give spike lee it's likely still hates him for it he said if you have. come out with a baseball bat spike lee appeared on the red carpet supporting knuckle dusters reading the words love and hate. can might have got a bit political this year but good intentions. also needs to translate into action it's time there were more women directors competing for the awards this year just three of the twenty one films in competition are female directed that needs to change time is definitely. and certainly with that we were up another show so don't forget to check out our website for more on the program or of course follow us on social media for me and the rest of us as always thanks for joining us today again tomorrow. on the next edition of euro max we catch up with the one and only. thirty five ye

american history, and you look back in this book at times when things have gone astray in the past -- the ku klux klan, joe mccarthy, the vil war -- and in the end, america has come right. is there a chance that with the internet and socl media and the ability of foreign nations to meddle as they have done, this time is different? jon: there is always a chance, of course, but i'm with your countryman and my half countryman churchill who said that the future may kn able, but the past should give us hope. i resist what i continue to think about as the narcissism of the present, as though social d dia is somehow a more nefarious and woanging force than movable type, or radio or television. at every point of quantum leaps of communication in a democratic culture -- lowercase d -- we have had fears and anxieties th. would lead to demagogue it is true that television, both the social-media world and the reality tv world -- remember, trump was known to most americans as the host of "the apprentice" more than anything else -- did givee us demagogue the founders feared. that is unquestionable.t e con

but we now know that the fbi had an informant within the ku klux klan from the mid-1950's. and the fbi knew everything that the alabama klan was going to do before they did it. they knew in advance that there would be an attack on the whenom riders. in 1965, viola was murdered at the end of the march, from selma to montgomery, gary roe was in the car from which she was shot. and the fbi knew the next day what had happened and who had done it because they had an informant right in the car. there is even a suggestion that roe himself was a person who far -- who fired the shot. was clearly, j edgar hoover in bed with the ku klux klan and was an absolute opponent of the .ove meant -- of the movement as the director of the fbi, he reported to robert kennedy. but often, he didn't pass along the information, so the justice department didn't know half of what hoover new -- what hoover knew. it is an ambivalent legacy. add the sister leadership, the sister rank-and-file. one of the great moments of the labor movement came out of birmingham, alabama 1963. 2000 black children were pla
