that same year were doctor luther king organized a march in detroit, governor george romney declared freedom day in michigan. to my colleague senator mitt romney, you are your father's side. this week marks 54 years since he shot rang out in memphis tennessee claiming the life of doctor martin luther king. an american who spoke with greater moral clarity than nearly any other in our history. : : city striking : he said like anybody i'd like to live a long life. longevity has its place, but i'm not concerned about that now. i just want to do god's will. and he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. his next words proved prophetic. dr. king said i've looked over and i've seen the promise land. and i've seen the promised land.i've seen the promised i may not get there with you but i want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. ricky jones said she thought about that when she realized the judiciary committee was voting on judge jackson's nomination on the anniversary of doctor king's death. it felt like a prophecy had come to pass. doctor king didn't make i

martin luther king. this moment was about them too, she said. and this moment was possible because of judge jackson and who she is. her qualifications, her dignity -- integrity and record of splens. excellence. that is why it is important several members on the judiciary committee did not approach judge jackson's hearing with that same level of fairness and respect as their colleagues. thankfully there are members of the senate who are willing to rise above the partisan fray. i want to particularly commend senator susan collins of maine, senator lisa murkowski of alaska and senator mitt romney for their political courage and their willingness to support her to the supreme court. when senator romney announced his support for judge jackson's confirmation, i couldn't help but remember his father, the late george romney who served as governor of michigan in the 1960's during the height of the civil rights movement. governor george romney knew a thing or two about political courage. as a proud republican governor in 1963, he marched alongside of the

an emotional ceremony marking the assassination of martin luther king jr.cting our rights and our future. our next supreme court justice needs to understand all of us, and provide equal justice for all of us. judge ketanji brown jackson has a proven record of protecting the rights of all. she will be the first black woman to serve on the highest court in the land. historic. she will be a justice for all. >>> it is the top of the hour. the president of ukraine is hours away from addressing the united nations security council, of which russia is a permanent member. it comes one day after visiting bucha where he says more than 300 ukrainian civilians were tortured and killed by russian forces. this morning russian officials again denied the massacre, calling it a, quote -- >> whatever. >> -- stage production. the problem for russia, the evidence is very real. we will have the global outcry and the call for tougher sanctions including breaking news this morning that the european union will consider new sanctions, including a ban on russian coal. jonathan lemire

this is something martin luther king jr. reflected himself upon in the moment in which the black power conscience sort of rozen america, because part of the first -- rose an american, because part of the frustration had to do with the fact that the civil rights movement as far as he could see was not bearing fruits of the majority of african-americans, but moved past the death of martin luther king jr. and you have a time where we are moving into the 1970's, with the advent of the great society, the welfare state , as you might refer to it, we had a circumstance in which a subsistence sort of income was provided to poor people across the country, and certainly the african-american community, but this happened at a moment in time where african-americans were displaced from their economic station in the agricultural and service sectors of the american society. i come from los angeles, south-central los angeles, a time when the importation of foreign labor displaced these workers at the same time the outsourcing of manufacturin

he was engaged with martin luther king.ey were at the "dream" speech, jackie and the whole family were there and up front. he worked specifically with martin luther king on repairing some burned churches in georgia. that was a project that king asked him to take on that he did. he publicly feuded with malcolm x, although when malcolm x was assassinated, respected him greatly for being part of the same cause but they argued publicly about the way to go about it. he was just simply, as a speaker, as an engager, always there. he also had certain projects such as he started a low income housing construction company shortly before his death. he was trying to do things on the underground. there was a black-owned bank in harlem that he was part of. he was at once doing day to day things and also using his celebrity as best he could to draw attention to issues and continue to sort of take up the cause in the way that he could. he was not shy about being political. he worked for governor rockefeller for a time. one interesting thing

why did you have just's to be directed towards martin luther king. about. i can journal when i was in high. school it was very helpful to me getting through things. but also, in 2014 when michael brown was killed and the black lives matter movement kicked off, i kept seeing high profile public figures basically using dr. king's words to object to things that dr. king has on record participated in. so, he is the father of nonviolent protest. to see people say things like doctor king would never take a freeway, dr. king took quite a few freeways. i wanted to reclaim his legacy a little bit. because i feel like, when we think talk about dr. king these days, there is this softness to the edges. he was the most disliked man in america. in the 1960s. we were very him, now but that was not the case back then. having justice right to him, and look at his philosophies up close, that came from me being really angry about hearing dr. king's quotes misappropriated. >> i want to finish with one of the notes that just rights to dear martin. martin luther king. he

martin luther king junior was assassinated. the tragedy propelling the nation towards a future that dr. king shaped but would not live to see. tomorrow the senate judiciary committee votes to confirm whether ketanji brown jackson will become the first black woman justice of this u.s. supreme court. the full senate expected to vote in her favor just days after. and just as the racist tactics employed by the right wing to smear judge jackson are nothing new, nor were they in king's day. neither is the support she has received from the civil rights community that embodied her. now, rallied around her. ready to rejoice in her for her expected confirmation. the ark of justice from dr. king to a modern queen, that's "politics nation" tonight and tonight, signs of hope mixed with terrible atrocity in ukraine. even as the russian offensive has not abated in central and southern ukraine and the world gasps in horror at the carnage left by retreating russians forces around kyiv and other cities. the basis for possible peace treaty betwee

that i said, no way might i thought about what i talked about and i said no i didn't quote martin luther king and he said yeah you did. and it didn't dawn on me until the ride back here that i realized that i had said, you know the founding ideals in our declaration of independence that all men are created equal and down by their creator life liberty in the pursuit of happiness. i don't know if he knew that that was in our founding documents. that's what this book is for. and then finally the book is for this mom who i spoke with a year ago. her name is scarlett johnson, and when i talked to her she described her small town of maquan thiensville in wisconsin as quiet friendly nice. then she told me that she was very troubled at what was happening in her child's school because everything was being viewed through the lens of race. she wanted to do something about it. not only did she tell me her story which is included in my book, but she helped to start a campaign to change who was on the school board because she wanted to make a change. she needed to know what was in critical race theory

. >> one way to think about this is to realize that when he made that debut, martin luther king had still never given a public speech or sermon. he was not a large figure yet. what we think of as that era of the civil rights movement had not really begun. jackie was truly a pioneer in that sense. when you think about dr. king was a characteristic generosity it also being true to facts is he would not have been accepted or gotten where he was if not for what jackie had done. >> tonight at 8:00 eastern on c-span's "q&a." you can also listen to all our podcasts on our free c-span app. >> the irs commissioner testified before the senate finance committee focusing on the backlog of returns from the 2020 tax year as well as ongoing irs modernization efforts. this is about two hours and 15 minutes.
