and lawson, as gene says so well, lawson may be the most important living american that not enough americans know about. it's probably a bigger category than we'd want to admit. but he was a methodist minister, the son of a methodist minister, spent two years in jail for refusing to submit to the military draft in korea, a pure pacifist. he went to india. he met -- ghandi was gone by then, but he met ghandi's lieutenants and had firsthand experience with the tactics and techniques. he brought that back. howard thurman and other black leaders had an initial pilgrimage there. but what happened in the streets of the south -- and lawson ran his workshops about eight miles away from where i'm sitting in the basement of a brick methodist church on a very unremarkable street in nashville. but what happened in that basement intersected with the panoply of earthly power. and what we saw today was perfectly john lewis because here's the son of troy who preached to the chickens as president bush talked about so well, saying at least the chickens produced eggs unlike his colleagues in congress. it was l

that's why jim lawson was in nashville. they were in the basement of clark memorial church and that's where they learned how to do the things that have led us to this conversation today. to go to a point president obama made, it's a vivid, powerful expression of a fundamentally american evnlightenment idea. the individual has agency and our individual voices, if enough of us raise them, can create a chorus that lifts us to a better place. >> congressman, to jon's superbly crafted point today, offered a tableau of the history of the past few decades in our country. i thought one of the most indelible points made by president obama was to readjust our thinking for the modern era and identify one john lewis as among our founding fathers. >> well, i thought that was a very poignant point that president obama made. you know, when the fullest history of our nation is written, john lewis' name will be etched in that history as the story of one of our founding fathers who made our union more perfect. our job is to take up that mant

lawson about congressman lewis, i asked him, do you think john is a saint in the classical christian sense of being willing to die for his beliefs and not his appetites? and lawson said yes because john always tried to manifest the kingdom with which jesus spoke when he said thy kingdom come, and that's what america lost last night. >> reverend al, often when i speak to you and john meacham, it is in the context of a great american passing, and one of the things i enjoy so much about having you on, reverend al is because you know everybody and you know them personally. tell me things we don't know about john lewis or what he was like as a person that people who only know him in a political context don't know. >> he was probably the most humble public figure i have ever known, and i think john meacham is right. he was deeply committed to the judeo christian ethos. he saw the movement as a spiritual movement. he did not see it as political. he would always lecture even in the most private moments that we must do the right thing morally. if it was not moral, he was not part of it. part

it was an unwritten lawson ariel.'ll give you another -- south carolina, 1890, post reconstruction, birthplace of the confederacy. a black man finds his wife in bed with a white man and kills him. the governor of south carolina pardoned the black man because that is what public opinion dictated. the unwritten law was even more powerful than jim crow, more powerful than state-sponsored segregation in south carolina in 1890. this will continue to be the case until 1958. it was virtually impossible to punish someone who had committed a killing to avenge -- to kill the lover of their wife or perhaps someone who had been a lover of their sister or female relation and was not prepared to accept responsibility for or takinghem responsibility for their child -- any of a number of scenarios like that. as a lawyer, i had no idea about this when i started researching the case, but it will start in the sickles case really becoming a conversation in every living room in the united states. you had some limited instances where jurie

my heroes and what inspired me more than anything as a young man was to see what you and reverend lawsonbob moses and diane nash and others did and he got that kind of all shocks, thank you very much and next time i saw him i had been elected to the united states senate and i told him john, i am here because of you and on inauguration day in 2008, 2009 he is one of the first people i greeted and hugged on that stand and i told him this is your day to. he was a good, kind and gentle man and he believed in us even when we don't believe in ourselves. it is fitting that the last time john and i shared a public forum was on zoom and i'm pretty sure neither he nor i set up the zoom call because we do not know how to work it. and as a virtual town hall with the gathering of young actors who had been helping to lead the summers demonstrations in the wake of george floyd's death and "after words" i spoke with john privately and he could not have been prouder to see this new generation of people standing up for freedom and equality in a new generation that was intent on voting and protecting the r

dale lawson has been sitting with an american flag in the bell marin keys neighborhood where black lives matter sign was once posted. neighbors accused him of tearing it down which he denies. but he does criticize the black lives matter movement. >> they are a communist organization, they are anti- american, they are anti- president, so let's get this country on the right track and stay that way. >> neighbors say they are surprised to hear that type of sentiment in their neighborhood. one group has been tending across the street with black lives matter signs and american flags to show their opposition. the couple and martin is charged with a hate crime for painting over a black lives matter mural is now telling their side of the story. nicole anderson and david nelson were captured on video by witnesses painting over the mural just hours after it was finished. if convicted, both of them could face up to a year in jail and the couple told tucker carlson that they believe they are being treated unfairly. >> this is the double standard and the hypocrisy of the whole thing. it's okay for blm

jim lawson, who taught them about nonviolence right there in shville. and after that, even until the present, john lewis, from time to time, pops up at things that i'm doing, he's doing. we encounter each other, see each other, even in recent he became the warrose reputation from getting hit over the head down there on the bridge and all the other things that he did could be relied upon in policy discussions to get-- make the statement or give you the support that people would say, "well, okay, if you got l jois on your side, i guess maybe we ought to talk about doing that." was principled. he did what he thought he should do. but if he thought somebody else knew more than he did or had more experience than he did, he would listen prayerfully becse he was a spiritual guy, too. he was practical, uat he was spir and he was courageous. and he was useful to the movement forever because jt saying his name, getting his pport could be crucial a important times.as >> sreen: i want to ask you both this question. charlayne, you first. in the context of what isha

hesitate to speak about non- violence in the present of the master himself will hear from reverend lawson, shortly we were together recently in selma when they spoke at church. he taught the world about nonviolence to say this. the word in sanskrit means two things. it means nonviolence and it means insistence on the truth. and of that is what john lewis was all about. insisting on the truth and nonviolence. in washington and lincoln memorial he insisted on the truth wherever he went. he insisted on the truth and the congress of the united states, every time he stood up to speak. we knew, he was going to take us to a higher place of our understanding of what our responsibilities were and opportunities and he insisted, no matter how offended someone might be. he would insist on the truth. what he said, he said in my life, i've done all i can to demonstrate, the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence, is the more excellent way. now it is returned, he says, let freedom ring. he always talked about truth marching on. he always worked for a more perfect union. over the fourth of july we

toward freedom earlier, in 1959, in nashville, tennessee, tennessee, where the where they met james lawson learned lessons in gandhi's non- violent directn. lewis, vivian and others staged sit-ins in nashville. the goal was not securing the vote but eating undisturbed at a lunch counter. this was among the earliest civil rights battles, and there weren't nearly as many cameras as later there would be. what was there-- risks, abuse, hatred. lewis was arrested, something he did not fear. the sit-ins led to the freedom rides, the march on washington, the civil rights act, the voting rights act. lewis and vivian marched together, faced violence, did not strike back, and helped change america for good. together in life, together amid strife. and at the end, almost poetically, together once again. that's the "cbs weekend news" for this saturday. i'm major garrett, in washington. good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org captione >>> we'll start with the latest numbers in the covid-19 crisis. california reporting more than 9,800 new cases over
