martin luther king. i've got at least eight or nine on my shelf, not counting yours and not to mention his that he wrote about himself, too. about ten of those. so the first question one wants to know is why did you think there was a need for yet another martin luther king book? two reasons. mainly. one, it had been a long time since the last king biographer in 40 years when the civil war, the trumpet sound came out. and since then we've had other great books about civil rights, about king, obviously, the taylor branch trilogy, but that's covers really america in the king years. david carroll's book is not a biography. it's wonderful. but 40 years between king biographies is ridiculous. that's much too long. and in that time, obviously, there's a lot more material, not just fbi material, but archival material that's come into play. and at the same time, there were people alive who knew dr. king and was really the sweet spot where i could get around and interview them for, you know, it was too late. and o

walls, first name, luther, correct? had been involved romantically, but now they were just friends? >> correct. >> my experience is when guys say that what that means is, i wanted to be involved romantically and she wanted to be just friends. >> yeah, that's probably-- that's what i took out of that too, but i didn't want to push that. >> luther knew what was coming. >> i knew they would probably go through the text messages and i knew i was probably one of the last text messages she sent. >> luther kept the text that he received from lajoya and share them with detective brown. >> you get a good vibe off luther? >> i did. you know, doing this job a long time, you can tell generally when someone is lying. >> and he did not seem to be lying? >> not at all. >> detectives came to believe luther walls had nothing to do with lajoya's mother -- murder. >> you can tell by his phone that he wasn't at her apartment? >> correct. >> instead, luther helped detectives understand what was going on with lajoya just prior to her disappe

martin luther, he reformation.tin luther, he of the first reformation, protested that every human being was responsible for him or herself . indeed, had to expect herself. indeed, had to expect to stand before god and give account of him or herself. it was no good looking to the church , to any institution for church, to any institution for salvation. it was about taking and accepting personal responsibility. no one's coming to save us. quite the contrary. the only solution , the only the only solution, the only salvation, lies within each and every one of us. so stay awake. keep pointing out and calling out the liars. we won't comply. our way out of tyranny. stop swallowing all the crap. and i mean literally. it's time to look after ourselves, to take care of ourselves because there's no cavalry coming. stand up straight and stand strong. if the last few years have taught us anything , it's that the us anything, it's that the defiance of every individual does make a difference. the road we take next is not up to t

kipping -- formatterren luther king -- for martin luther king.artin luther king didn't do nothing for me and black lives protesters said the confederate monument didn't do nothing for them. i don't understand it at all. these iran, the big universes in iran said they would give every one of these palestinian protesters a scholarship to there. let's take a lot of these people that are out there, let's send them over there. it won't be an hour, they'll be crying, wanting back in their mom and daddy's basement because they don't understand, they don't take the thing, freedom of speech in this country. you can have freedom of speech -- host: got your point, mike. that's mike in north carolina. james waiting in grand rapids, michigan. those over 65. caller: good morning. thank you. i attended a lot of protests in washington, d.c., in 1970. host: what were you protesting? caller: the vietnam war, genocide, again. and i'm really proud of these kids now because it's a question of morality in my opinion. it's a question of being complicit in genocide. and

kingin, when luther king was able to make waves , his speech was very easy to assassinate him, or different things, right now, snowden and the second person who informed about the disclosure of the documents of american crimes have been under trial and imprisonment for the same claim of freedom of speech that was violated. fortunately, this story showed that the picture below there is what happened in balasi and these compliments and this iranophobia and islamophobia and that you have spent 45 years accusing iran of things that are actually their own. humanitarian and freedom-loving people and their human rights were actually exposed with these behaviors, and the truth came out. very well, mr. dr. sajjadi, stay with us . we will continue our conversation with your excellency . american students at the same time. with the entry of the student uprising into the third week. police in several universities dozens of students he arrested the perpetrators of peaceful anti-zionist sit-ins. according to the latest news, the number of students arrested in american universities has exceeded 2,300 peop

i see a lot of martin luther king's on the horizon. the problem is we tend not to listen to them because we all want to just listen to what makes us most comfortable. and the great thing about king as i mentioned earlier, is that he was willing to talk to people who disagreed with him. he was willing to talk to people who he got punched in the face by a nazi, literally a member of the nazi party. he invited the man to come back and listen the rest of his speech speech. that should not be so rare, should be able to talk to each other. so i think there are a lot of people, a lot of great activists, a lot of people doing the work and it's just that it's very hard for them to reach the masses in the way king did because we listening. i would agree on that last piece. as a journalist, i meet every day who are unbelievably inspired and who are doing what they can on their local level change, who try to speak out on these issues. but it feels like we're in a very fractured media environment, information environment. and so there are sort of e

one of the trustees was martin luther king senior, father of the recently slain civil rights leader. he began having chest pains and one of the students later said we let him out of there so we would not be accused of murder. that student and his classmates eventually gave up under a promise of amnesty. he was expelled and it would be years before he was rehabilitated. decades before he became known the world over as actor samuel l. jackson. i tell this story for two reasons. one to remind us that college activism has long been a part of college education. the other reason, though, is to get a sense of proportion which seems lacking today. we watched disturbing imagery emerge from campuses at columbia, ucla, university of texas, university of south florida, so many others. where cops or in some cases mobs took down pro-palestinian encampments and protests, as well as professors and journalists and just random bystanders. the cumulative effect of this coverage, along with unverified assertions from police and politicians, has been to drive home the idea that's student protests are bas

that's what martin luther king said after he cried. he said, "now the voting rights bill will be passed." and dick had only nine hours to write that speech. it still seems astonishing to me that it could be done in that short period of time. normally, those speeches would be worked on for weeks or months, but he knew the timing was necessary. it had to be done then. - and the sentiment of the nation changes. - the sentiment of the nation changes. yes. - there's another story about the power of words to change a community. and it's early in his time writing for john f. kennedy when he goes to ashland, wisconsin, a small city on the banks of lake superior that has had an econic downturn. the shores are polluted. the industry has left. you interviewed the mayor of the town 50 years later, edward monroe. he told you, quote, "he made us feel good about ourselves. we needed to feel good about ourselves to believe that we could make our town better. he had challenged the country to put a man on the moon and now he was challenging us. little b

hitler is the pinnacle of everything that german culture has been moving towards, starting with lutherre conviction of its exclusivity, and what was france different? did we liberate europe from nazism? we forced them to pretend that nazism was alien to them.” they are now returning to their nature, so of course they hate us. i still want to clarify the president said that we are ready for negotiations on strategic stability, this means, on our terms, which we set out in december of the twenty-first year, yes, they were formulated harshly, and yet he said it, and did the right thing, because we are not alone in the world, and there are nuclear weapons, and there are other types of weapons, we have the support, by the way, of most countries in the world, that these types of weapons should be under certain control, by whom? under control, under what control? whose? well, i can remind you that since 1971-72 , the anti-ballistic missile treaty was in force, from which the united states withdrew in 2002, yes, but it was in effect for 30 years, correctly, when it was and was enormously disad

this is a concept that was very important to activists like martin luther king and rosa parks. right. that they be perceived as mobile, as respectable. they would be taken seriously. barney initially is very worried about calling the government to report this ufo because he's worried it won't be taken seriously. he is worried about the government. he is worried what if this story gets out, what its impact would be on his political work and betty persuaded him to do? but i think later in her life in particular are barney's fears are manifested. right. but she loses that sense of respectability comes to be seen as someone is fringy someone who is a kook and then does moves away from the center of political life where they had been before. very interestingly and surprisingly to me, you recall that when she learned about the work of america abstract artist, a notable artist, budd hopkins, his work providing support groups and amateur hypnosis be for people who claim to have abduction experiences. she rejects all of that and wants nothing to do with it and asserted that her experien

that is the essence of martin luther king's civil rights movement. i look forward to the day when little black children will be treated the same as little white children so that is the plea for a marginalized group that organizes on the basis of in identity category to basically demand equal rights to enter into that same liberal society. and a liberal form is when that identity category becomes a centralized meaning that it's the most important thing anyone can know about you, your skin color, gender, sexual orientation and that membership in a group will trump anything you accomplish as an individual, that is an ill liberal form of identity politics and that's the part of the politics that i think becomes very problematic in a liberal society and you give out jobs, places and universities promotions and of alike simply on the basis of those identity categories that violates this fundamental liberal principle that we regard people in the society as individuals. we may judge them on their individual characteristics and skills, talent, accumulated abi

crime against fico involuntarily brings to mind an analogy with the resonant murders of martin lutheried to go against the mainstream. fortunately, the head of the government of slovakia remained alive; behind the official feigned wishes for fico’s recovery in the west, the true face of the globalist sect is hidden. adherents in numerous comments on social networks approve of the crimes and call for the elimination of other nationally oriented leaders, in particular hungarian prime minister orban and serbian president vucic. the svr also recalled that the investigation into the assassination attempt continues, but it is already clear and visible how the united states and the european union are persistently trying to impose on the world the version of a certain lone criminal who is simply allegedly not happy with the decline in the level of democracy in slovakia and why he committed a crime. the department also has information that us government agencies intend to join the investigation in the near future, of course, in order to direct it in the direction they need. the task is simple.

they lived up to these externally-imposed rules, and that was the essence, let's say, of martinis luther's basic christian freedom. as time went on over the last couple of centuries, the realm of autonomy has expanded pretty relentlessly so that by the time you get to figures like friedrich in each cha, at the end of the 19th century he can creates his character who is free was not only does -- because not only does he have the ability to obey the law or not, he can make up the law himself. he can create the moral frame ifwork. and, you know, this is what leads to what is sometimes labeled ex, pressive individualism where your individuality extends all the way to your ability to establish the moral rules under which you are living. and obviously, you can't have a society if this is the case. because what is a society? if a society are shared rules thatat how collective action tht allow people to live peacefully with oney another, and if everybody gets to make up their owne rules, that's not going to happen. and, you know, this expansion of the realm of autonomy has been, has been growing o
