and also martin luther king. when i look at these two great leaders, i say there is something about each one of them that contributed significantly to black progress for people of african descent. there are things about both of them also that we could criticize. martin luther king may have stayed with the nonviolence thing too long some people say. later in his life, he questioned whether or not nonviolence could work in an unethical society because the premise of nonviolence is sooner or later the folks who are pressing you will get embarrassed or something. feel like we are making ourselves look bad. what if the folks who are oppressing you don't have that kind of humanity? some folks don't have shame. if you are trying to shame someone who does not have any shame, you are in trouble. martin luther king ultimately came to that point and questioned that. read his books. at one point, martin luther king questioned, can nonviolence work? this was after he went to chicago. the kind of structures in chicago were not

he is cool and all, but martin luther king jr. was more influential in terms of overall history as a race leader because booker t. washington said we are just going to sit calmly and accept the situation. martin luther king worked for equality and for change. not just for black people. he worked for better standards of living for everyone in america and booker t. washington seems very intent on pursuing a personal agenda and elevating his status in politics. and being the first at the white house. martin luther king accomplished everything he did without an official office. and he is better. >> he is just better, right? >> he is also better because you are saying booker t. washington was the first, the only to be appointed to an office, but that does not make him the man overall because if you asked someone in the country whether they are 6, 16, or 60 who the preeminent symbol of racial equality is, martin luther king is the answer they come up with and that legacy holds more weight than any presidential appointment. >> ok, all ri

i start the book with a quote from martin luther king, "letter from birmingham jail." it's a signal to the reader that the thought to get something as much of civil rights at sports. if you think, when you read the book and on about his legacy and his with several key moments and figures in the civil rights movement. he was a kindergartner, start a school night before, the year of brown v. board. he was profoundly influenced by the murder of emmett till, he was 12 here's old, leaving his house in north nashville and sneaking downtown to watch sit-ins at the lunch counter a few blocks where he entered high school a week after martin luther king's "i have a dream" speech. he was in high school when the civil rights act and the voter rights act was passed and he said for him and for most of his generation the world seem to be opening up at just the right time. and his parents and his teachers had prepared him to walk through doors that have never been opened before. meanwhile, at vanderbilt things are finally starting to change. professor bell is here and he could probabl

kelly drive, martin luther king drive will be best alternate. heading out of northeast philadelphia, you could take roosevelt boulevard and maneuver your way there. take broad street all the way down or take i-95. with that said i-95 we are seeing major delays stemming out of the northeast down through vine street expressway. we have a pothole southbound right around cottman avenue which is causing a mess. if you had are a truck drive you cannot use drives so blue route to 95 is an alternate and this accident ace affecting a few septa bus routes as well. we were just talking earlier the accident happened when it was light liz raining and that is when folks just should not under estimate the the weather. >> you almost get caught off guard when that kind of thing happens. you are right. as you have been saying and my advice would be the same just be smart about this. even though what you will see when we bout out to storm scan three is radar is emptying out and we are clearing out with the crowd cover just retreating here you cannot take this nece

martin luther king.ou notice here is the people don't really understand who is in charge. we've got a situation where barack obama and eric holder and jeh johnson are the three top law enforcement officers in the country. and we're dealing with an idea that the government is being oppressive to black kids. that's number one. when you throw in -- hold on a second. >> kevin -- no, but -- i want to ask you a question, kevin. >> isis -- when you throw in isis and all of the other things that you're talking -- mark, you finished the last segment. let me finish this. when you throw in isis and all of the -- >> there's a delay, i'm not cutting you off. >> when you look at some of the other controversies, and you look at the polling of barack obama and then you look at that and how it's filtering down into the black community, you see, yes, those poll numbers are going to reflect his presidency. >> yeah. >> let me give you a chance to respond. >> again, i would love to know the source of the information that say

especially the peace that he wrote in 1967 about how martin luther king jr.st responsibility and integrity. manyame is true for so black journalist today on tv, thee in the mainstream, black independent press is being lost like independent radio. this is simply an attempt to say, when it comes to our youth, music, culture, politics, we need a renaissance of integrity, vision, willingness to serve, and willingness to sacrifice. other subjects in the book is the bb the boys. you call him, along with john dewey, one of the two towering intellectual figures of the early 20th century. you can just say his name and you want to be silent for a while. 95 years of struggle. and what did he say after 95 years? you must catch your struggle in on an international stage. i am going to africa. i remain tied to the best of america but recognized it may be the case that america needs a revolution but does not have the capacity for revolution, only counterrevolution, but we can go other places, latin america, asia, africa. >> a civil rights activist, historian, dies in 1963.

good idea to take kelly drive or martin luther king drive as alternate.you are a truck driver and cannot use drives, 476 to 95 will be a good idea. you will have volume, no doubt bit. it is affecting a few septa bus routes, nine, 27, 124, 125, it ace affecting southbound side of the roosevelt boulevard. that delay squeezing us back beyond ninth street. if you are traveling on the vine street expressway getting to the schuylkill will be a problem but in addition to all of this, we have a new accident. this accident is on i-95 northbound right as awe approach allegheny out of girard avenue. thinks your southbound delay into center city. this here is your northbound delay or before that incident scene. now here's the thing because that north bound i-95 accident occurred here this will backup vine street expressway eastbound which whiz in turn backs up eastbound side of the schuylkill expressway. anyone commuting around center city right now definitely consider mass transit. that is your best bet. katie, how are we doing weather-wise. >> things have only gott

martin luther king jr. was awarded the peace prize. he donated the money to the civil rights movement. as dr. king was honored in oslow he was reviled by white supremecists in the south. it's weapons, widespread violence and fear. burning crosses at homes and churches and pulling people from their houses. some evenclaimed to be ghosts of conservative soldiers. college students volunteered to go to mississippi to help with voter registration. before they left for freedom summer they were given lessons on what to expect. >> they're going the pick you up on the road. they're going to try to put something on you, you're going to wind up in jail there's no doubt about it. >> reporter: the reality of the danger was brutally evident when a 21-year-old black man from mississippi, james chaney and two white jewish new yorkers. michael goodwin and michael sherwerner were picked up on the street and disappeared. >> it took 44 days before the bodies of the three were found. acting on an informants tip the fbi discovered the men's bodies buried ben

and martin luther king understood this better than anybody. and birmingham was very much about bringing that pressure and saying, you know, everybody looks at the now, everybody reads these national newspapers. there's a media out there that if we can get them to look at what's happening, if we can visualize the horror that african-americans face every day by going somewhere as supposedly, you know, relatively but supposedly progressive and, you know, cosmopolitan as birmingham where you have these moderate leaders, if we can elicit a violent response from the police there, then we'll have proven something, and that's exactly what they did. and, of course, we all know the famous photographs of dogs and fire hoses being sent on children. well, that was absolutely vital to the change that took place in the white house and among a lot of members of congress. they saw those, and they said, well, we -- there's certainly a moral argument. this is also really embarrassing for us nationally and internationally. john f. kennedy was a cold warrior. he s

it seems that peter gelb would not have done an opera of the same sort about the death of martin luthering, making a debating topic, should he have been killed? or the death of john kennedy, making a debating topic, should he have been killed? take one of those, or the people who died on 9/11. the idea of a beautiful aria sung on the killer's side seems to me morally unacceptable. he can do it, but i find it very troubling that he did. >> i think this is a very sensitive meditation on violence and hatred. i saw the opera back in 1991. my understanding is floyd has not seen the offer himself. >> i have seen a video of the opera. >> seeing a video and reading the libretto is not an opera. the difference between what i saw in 1991 and what i saw this week is extraordinarily significant. floyd misstates the story. the captain is a pivotal character, and to say, to characterize the opera without having seen the opera, this was done years ago by other countries. so to evoke that here is unseemly. the captain is portrayed as a peace-seeking figure. klinghoffer is perceived as a man who was mur
