working on two other books with us, and one coming up soon is his addition of the writings of martin luther king, jr. which will be called appropriately the radical king. that will be published on dr. king's birthday, and i think you should all look out for that and his next book after that will be a very important one, justice matters. we are very much looking forward to that as well. i am going to ask cornel to talk briefly about each of the six figures he discusses in the new book and then to reflect on how their legacy impacts us today. and then i am going to turn the floor over for the questions. michele alexander said of "black prophetic fire" this was a fascinating exploration of the black prophetic genius and fire. i would like to start by asking you how you define "black prophetic fire" and then we can talk about each of the figures. cornel: thank you for that question. i would like to just begin briefly by saluting personnel, my publisher, very blessed to work with james baldwin. the same press -- not old enough to work with baldwin, but same press james baldwin did write for, so many

when you think about martin luther king jr. and the 1963 march on washington, one of the main things king says is that, we come here today, this is nothing -- this is washington dc on the national mall, to cash a check, a check that was stamped insufficient funds, but we refused to believe that american democracy is bankrupt. that is what he says. and in the 1960's there is a point where even the president of the united states, two presidents, kennedy and johnson, really justify that moral claim, they say, there is a moral claim. kennedy says it on national television, june 11, 1963. president lyndon johnson says it at howard university on june 4, 1965, in a very famous howard university commencement speech, where he says that you can't have two runners, and one has been shackled, and you expect them to run the race equally. and in that speech, president johnson talks about outcomes, not just equality of opportunity, but equality of outcomes. that is what he said. so for a time, the moral claim of lack citizenship, not just equa

sub-like martin luther king jr. did. malcolm "x" by the end. his life does but for a long time he's pushing back against king and pushing back against investigate, right, but the only way you're going to transform this democracy is to utterly transform the institutions in the democracy, and if these institutions are producing unequal outcomes, if you ratically transform those institutions, you can gain not just access, but you can actually reimagine the way in which power relations between blacks and whites and other groups, rich and power, actually play out. that's what ron walters tried to do. that's what he tries to do, so when we think whether black power and even a movement for black studies, black studies radically alters institutions of higher education. i'm not saying it's a complete revolution, but even a place like where we're at, university of texas at austin, the very presence of black studies has changed anz transformed this place and not just academically, but it's connected to sports. it's connected to culture. it's connected to a

martin luther king. very, very important and very dangerous if you were, the white community was concerned about king coming to your community. excuse me. the man at the front of this line is a jazz sungar, and he is -- singer, and he travel baco the gadsden motel in birmingham after participation in this picket line. this is the gadsden motel after it was bombed. gadsden provided spaces for civil rights workers to stay. the civil rights movement, people working civil rights needed places to stay when they went south, they needed places to eat. and these places were the targets of bombings. some of these places were listed in the green book including the lorraine motel which is the place where martin luther king was assassinated. now consider how important it would be to have an automobile if your job was to travel around an entire county and register voters. if you had to travel an entire county or if you had to travel an entire state and register voters. this was, this is called the jenkins microbus, an

martin luther king jr. her colleague, ruby doris smith, later married name robinson, she, too, like diane nash, was born to a middle-class family. and so, she talked about how she had largely been shielded from the issues of segregation by her family, by her parents, but that she was always very conscious of her race, of her blackness, and she didn't shy away from that. she just had not faced or experienced the systems of segregation that many of her peers had. she was a student at spelman college, where she joined the atlanta student movement. she participated in sit-ins throughout the city of atlanta. her experiences, especially joining with nash and the other sncc leaders at the rock hill sit-in, she ultimately became the administrative secretary of the student nonviolent coordinating committee's atlanta office. and she saw to it that the field secretaries throughout the area got anything and everything that they needed to be effective in their protest campaigns. she, along with nash, helped to populariz

a variety of images have blunted his image, but it was in "n" selma martin luther king jr.ed with this young, brilliant preach from south carolina who would go on to succeed him in the minds of many people as the foremost exponent of civil rights in this country. so that day is important because not only was the country awash in blood, the country is now awash in memory of that blood. but we have new battles, new stakes, new opportunities to move forward, and john lewis and amel amelia boynton and the roll call of mighty heroes who have stood forth to tell the truth to america is reminding us of the poor, puny, horrible leadership in solid contrast to what these noble people will do. they didn't have the angle of office or the bully pulpit of the white house and the oval office to claim what they felt and to put forth their zmoegnot and ideas. but they rose up to declare that america would be better than its circumstances and the hate that prevailed -- and john lewis and jesse jackson are heroes because they remind us of it. that's why presidential candidates go there. pres

that's actually not what martin luther king said. what he said is -- >> he did say that. >> the silence -- >> are you kidding me? >> she's making a language point, nina. >> what he said was we should worry about the silence of white moderates. what we have in joe biden is a man who is not silent. he has a long record, and many votes that in today's world feel that the wrong thing were the wrong thing, and he has discussed that over and over again. as bernie sanders did on the gun votes and other things. so we can be talking about votes from 20 years ago or we can be talking about people's values and who they trust. that's what joe biden is going to be talking about. >> last quick point to you, nina. >> chris, what reverend dr. martin luther king, jr., was talking about, he said it is the point that the white moderate wants things to be comfortable and instead of focusing in on the bigger threat, is not necessarily the white kkk member, but more the white moderate that is more comfortable with keeping things -- >> don't use martin lut

procedure's martin luther king jr. relied on her expertise regarding education, literacy and the rules in which literacy and education could help the voting movements that he was part. of she was so influential that he insisted when he won the nobel peace prize in 1964, that she accompany him to sweden. he was adamant that she had to be there with him that is how much work she had put into supporting his overall movements. she inspired many other women, particularly students who were faced with further segregation for most of the following women come from the student, non violating community. these are student activists getting involved that a very young age and they have different experiences. you just heard about park who was born to an enslaved individual. diane nash is born into a middle class family in chicago. and talking with her historian 's, college journalist, she's said she never truly understood with segregation was because coming from where she was it was not until she hadn't rolled at university that she

martin luther king jr. are you kidding me? >> don't use martin luther king against biden. you don't have the standing. sorry. you don't. >> don't tell me what standing i have at a black woman in america. how dare you. >> sean: poor chris cuomo. following that shouting match, rosen offered insulting backhanded apology on twitter. "on air thursday i said my colleague turner didn't have standing to use m.l.k. jr. that was wrong. i am sorry for saying those words. please no need to defend me and attack angry black women. they have standing. i always need to listen more than i talk. we rise together." rosen since apologized for the apology and deleted the tweet. but this kind of nasty infighting is likely to increase as we get further in to the democratic nomination. bolshevik bernie on one side and the supporters who will share the truth about the insane socialist policies and belief and the support for murdering dictatorship. on the other side quid pro quo joe. he will pretend to be a moderate all he can but we know it's not true. biden has embraced the insane green new deal

people see what people like martin luther king jr. are doing, they say we have a problem with our group, too, so we launch a similar movement. they use the same tactics. sit-ins, boycotts, marches. in fact, leaders were part of the civil rights movement for joining the women's liberation movement. of course, the idea of rights here is different. one thing that's different is that they seek to expand the idea of rights. not just say be true to what you set on paper like martin luther king jr. said, but actually these are rights that women should have even though they are not explicitly guaranteed in the constitution already. so they build upon the leadership of older women's activists, women's octob activists. they're sparked by new energy. it begins in the early 1960s and lasts through the late 1970s. you could argue with people about when it ends, if it's over, et cetera we don't have time to get into that now. the goals are this, reproductive rights, end employment discrimination, so all of these limitations with jobs, one of the re

on april 4, 1968, martin luther king jr. is shot and killed in memphis and on june 6, robert f kennedy, john f. kennedy's brother, who had announced a run for president against lyndon b. johnson, killed in california while campaigning. i want to share as we get to the end a letter written by one north carolinian to his senator in the summer of 1968. 12 days after bobby kennedy was shot in california. it is written by a white man in north carolina. i am sick of crime everywhere. i am sick of riots. i am sick of poor people demonstrations. in parentheses, black, white, red, purple, green or any other. i am sick of the supreme court ruling for the good of a small part. i'm sick of lack of law enforcement. i am sick of hippies, lsd, drugs and all the promotion the news media give them. a lot of people at the end of the 1960's are wondering what happened. you recall after the midterm, richard nixon ended world war ii coming home to a comfortable house, comfortable life. children, a dog, whatever happened to this? we are going to

martin luther king called for universal health care. if you look at the black panthers 10 point plan, it was routed around the idea of building communities, of ensuring access to food, of ensuring access to housing and of self-determination. these are absolutely the principles that are carried for -- fourth in our vision of this country. our families and communities deserve more. we have the top 1% of 1%, who are hoarding so much wealth in this country and getting tax cut after tax cut by this administration. $1.5 trillion in economic stimulus, just introduced. nation, whenas a big businesses and corporations are losing profits are when the -- or when the stock market is take action. where is that decisive action for the homeless? where is that for the students were burdened by millions of dollars of student debt that we are carrying across the country? peoples that action for who cannot afford their insulin and are rationing their medication, often times leading to death. we can have that type of decisive action. we just need politicia

at the dinner what happened there was a time when there was controversy about martin luther king andin luther king's womanizing as had been exposed by the fbi and that sort of thing and a big argument came up at the dinner about that between malcolm x and the faculty sponsor. the guy who was sponsoring the dinner. got so heated that they were going to call down to martin luther king and in atlanta and resolve it but malcolm showed a real bunch of a lot of grace and smoothed it down. i left there on fire after that dinner. she asks whether we know how the 18 were chosen in particular how kent was chosen. i will tell you a little bit about the 18 because we wanted to answer the question for ourselves was this some kind of early form of affirmative action. affirmative action phrase would come around for a couple years but it was. harvard had a couple of key men you read about in the book and the admissions decided it was the right thing to do. we don't know exactly what happened with kent because he doesn't remember but i suspect that somebody in admissions at hartford had a connection

martin luther king, august 28th, 1963. i have a dream that my four little children will live in a nation that they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. i have a dream that one day every valley shall be exaulted. so that is an incredible sense of optimism that many people share. we have these moments where we dig in some of the issues in the class. a couple weeks ago we were talking about the civil rights movement, the sit-ins, birmingham, jim crow is dead. the system that has existed since the new south that we talked about in this class. the civil rights did not solve all racial problems in america but it did change the nation and of course we should recognize that. poverty. this great society, equal opportunity act, medicare and medicaid help people that are susceptible to falling into deep debt because of their health care costs. we get housing grants, higher education grant which of course affects all of you today. the poverty rate declines rapidly in the 1960s. it's the

lincoln this practice continues. 1963, martin luther king mixes i have a dream speech. it starts by echoing the gettysburg address rhetorically. it is given from the steps of the lincoln memorial and king starts out by saying "five score years ago." lincoln's county back to the declaration but king is counting back to the emancipation proclamation. then he goes back farther. he talks about the architects of our republic. the people who read the constitution and the declaration of independence. they promised, he said, that all thewould be guaranteed unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. well, both lincoln and king are wrong. i have said already the declaration of founders' constitution do not have the values they're trying to put there. but the mistake is a little more severe even than that. think about it. side isivil war whose the declaration on? the answer is actually pretty clear. it is on the side of the rebels, the south. who marched on washington? marching in the name of the declaration? didcivil rights movement but before them the real

the clay or it is illegal to express nor because it was denied a pot form it was because martin luther king and other civil rights leaders were able to persuade an appeal to people's consciences that that kind of thinking is evil destructive toxic and wrong and you see that over and over if you look at the charlottesville protesters the neo nazis letting the march the whole thing entire country and the next event that they tried to hold in boston 50 of them showed up and 30000 protesters showed up against them because everybody heard their ideas and were sickened by them and that is a much more effective way to defeat horrible ideas than trying to empower the government to. to forcibly suppress it stanley i continue to think that all of this talk about free speech puts too much value either positive and negative on the act speaking freely or producing certain forms of speech it's in some in some contexts useful and in some contexts not now as far as universities go universities have nothing to do with free speech the reigning value in universities is freedom of inquiry and freedom of inquir

any of us are only as healthy as the most vulnerable neighbors come in other words when martin luther king says years ago they said it's a threat to justice everywhere, while the virus anywhere is a threat to the health and safety of us everywhere. that is why we need to act urgently to pass the bill introduced by my colleague senator patty murray to guarantee the sick leave for all workers and critically guarantee 14 days of paid sick leave during public-healthhe emergencies. that is an act of self-interest. again i ago with over 80% of those that handle our food in restaurants, those folks that do not have paid family leave, they are now economically as advice to go to work sick. it could cause a greater spread of the virus. paid sick and family leave is a public health and safety issue plain and simple. it's about economic justice and economic strength and security, but it is a public-health issue for us all. as we prepare to fight this virus, we need to do things to keep our people and our communities, our country safe, healthy and strong. that means joining with the rest of the indust

martin luther king in 1968. in 1970 he had gone to atlanta and helped lead the organization of sanitation workers on strike. they ended up getting a union. and winning a pay increase as a result of that strike. by 1977 the progress had seemed to slow in atlanta. what was really ironic about it was that, by 1977, the city had its first african-american mayor. jackson had been deputy mayor of atlanta in 1970. when that earlier strike had happened. he very courageously, in the middle of that strike he broke with his mayor. he said, you've got to help the sanitation workers, their wages are a disgrace before god. he helped to turn public opinion and helped win that strike for the strikers. he went on to become elected mayor in 1973. with the help of the union and with the help of the guy, lehman hood. once he became mayor of atlanta, he felt he needed to build support among the white business establishment of the city. it would look bad if he caved in to the demands of the city's workers, even the sanitation workers

martin luther king jr.: we hold these truths to be self-evident -- that all men are created equal.the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans. barbara jordan: the american dream need not forever be deferred. lyndon johnson: this is the richest and the most powerful country... what? oooh... ahhh. no. yeah? s! y yes. that's the sound of saving 20 to 60 percent off department store prices. at ross. yes for less. >>> now, news to build a better bay area from abc7. >> they don't call it super tuesday for nothing. but tonight i tell you with absolute confidence we are going to win the democratic nomination. [ cheers and applause ] >> a reinvigorated joe biden was the comingback kid of super tuesday. but it was bernie sanders who won california. >> voters in 14 states and one u.s. territory went to the polls today with a third of all delegates up for grabs. >> here in california sanders is leading with 30% of the vote. the "associated press" has called the race for him. but it's not clear how many delegates sanders will claim from california. there are 415 delegates up for

in other words, when martin luther king said years ago he said justice threat j in witnesa threat edward. well, the virus anywhere is a threat to the health and safety of us everywhere. that is why we need to act urgently to pass the bill introduced on my colleague, senator patty murray, to guarantee seven days of sick leave for all workers and critically guarantee 14 days of paid sick leave during public health emergencies. that is an act of self interest. again, i know with over 80% of those who handle our food and restaurants, of those folks who do not have paid family leave, they are out economically incentivized to go to work sick. it could cause a greater spread of the virus. paid sick and families is a public health and safety issue, plain and simple. it's about economic justice and economic strength and security, but it is a public health issue for us all. as we prepare to fight this virus we need to do the things that keep our people, our communities, our country safe, healthy, and strong. that means join with the rest of our industrial nations and have paid family sick leave. t

he spoke in the unenviable position of being right before martin luther king.ofound. he spoke about the dangers of being silent at the face of injustice and he also talked about the urgency and the importance of us to understand the bond between us and the strength o that comes from our unity. at the time i believe has come to work together for it isn't enough to work together. it's not enough to pray together, to work together in that moment. it is our call and our strength and hope and it lies in our ability to come together and for people to stand together resolutely to work together. i say this because i have been all over this country speaking to what i believe is the challenge in this time. it isn't a moment about left or right. it's a moment of fuss going right and wrong and too much of america right now we are a nation increasingly divided. when it comes to our purpose, we need a revival in america of grace. we need to understand that patriotism and love of country and you cannot love your country unless you love your fellow countrymen and women. love i

that's actually not what martin luther king said. what he said is we should be worried about the silence of white moderates. >> are you kidding me? >> you don't have that -- you don't that standing. i'm sorry. you don't. >> don't tell me what kind of standing i have as a black man in america. how dare you. >> sean: wow. mark levin once had a similar situation, stereo liberallism. following that shouting match he offered a back handed apology on twitter. on air, thursday i said my colleague, nina turner, didn't have standing to use mlk jr. that was wrong. i'm sorry for saying those words. please, no need to defend me and attack angry "black women." they have standing. i always need to listen more than i talk. we rise together. rosen says has since apologized for that apology and deleted the tweet but this kind of nasty infighting is likely to increase as we get further into the democratic nomination. got bernie on one side and his supporters, we'll share the truth about their insane socialist policies and beliefs, and even his support

martin luther king jr. said, we are all tied together in a single garment of destiny. so i want to be clear. if i'm elected president, i will strongly condemn anti-semitism wherever and whenever it appears. and americans will never have to choose between supporting israel and supporting our values here at home. [applause] i will defend both, because i know they have always been linked and our strong relationship with israel is based on our values. at this moment in our history, we're called to stand up. not for a political party but for our country and our values and for a tradition of bipartisan support that has always defined our relationship with israel. this is about defining the meaning of america and recognizing that all groups who have been marginalized, excluded, repressed, scapegoated, vilified and, far worse, rise and fall together. our best hope, our only hope is standing together, rejecting those who try to seduce us by dividing us, and uniting behind the only shield that can protect us, our common values as american citizens. and our common humanity as god
