you had these people try to make a child and kill monger into like martin luther king and malcolm x. and which is which is stupid there's no there's no comparison there are contrast and kill monger is a a psychopathic murderer but he had this the in the movie you're asked to say well how did he get that way where we're in a because when i used to read black panther when i was younger i'd say how could this country that had this gift of the you know the vibranium you know you know meteorite how could they sit back and watch so many of their brothers and sisters and slaved thought for a thousand years how can they sit there and watch you know european powers come in and colonize and tear apart the continent which was which was a viable. before you know colonialism a lot of people think the whole there was a tarzan movie before then it wasn't know it and i used to sit there and say well how how would they treat that and ryan coogler in this movie addresses those issues and makes you debated but he doesn't sit there and say well you know kill monger is a hero for saying i want to help all my oppresse

also be at the show this spring at the gardens theater with roger dewitt and barry smith who is known from malcolm x and do the right thing . a phenomenal talent. he has a wonderful one-man show that he did and it was just surreal and incredible, i feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with him, this will be in april at the urban buena garden theater, it will be an amazing show. >> it is amazing that you are committed to the art and not just the income, but whether or not you are getting paid, you will be there because it is your gift. >> these days, if i'm not getting paid, i will not be there. [laughter] i always tell the young people, i mentor young people and i used to act and coach people like laura hayes when she was on martin, but the young people that i work with now, i do not charge, i just say, all that i want is for you to be successful. there is still stuff that i do to give back and for love life, a lot of this is volunteer work if you will, but when it comes to the business itself, one of my first mentors told me, the word business is bigger than the word show so you better have

this is the same kinds of criticisms being waged not just against the panthers and malcolm x's. but against people like malcolm king. so i think we have to there is a huge need for looking at that. and i think it's hard to know how to do that in the midst of what feels like just fires everywhere. i think it's hard. .. .. i was recently watching because "meet the press" it played a clip of him on there and soft saying like look we have martin luther king on the show but if you watched the interview it was a hostile panel of white jowrnlgist just -- basically trying to discredit him or undermine him or portray him as a -- as a crazed extremist. >> right. right i think this is another -- aspect of the mist. right, the media in our kind of imagination of the civil rights movement is one of the heros. and there's a slice of it and civil rights leaders like john lewis give the media a ton of credit they say like the movement would have been a bird without wings without the media's role in the southern struggle. but i think that's blinded us to -- sort of all of the other ways that the

is the north star? >> i live off of memoirs. alex haley, malcolm x, i spent a lot of time digging into the personal stories of my personal heroes because their journey which is so significant and important related shape my book because what i love about those books as it doesn't just talk about their story but gives a context what is happening and they do that in the book. >> tell us about the process how long did it take? >> i think the better one -- the better timeline asha we got a book deal. it was quick in the literary world but i came to her because somebody came to me and said you have a book in you. i wasn't thinking about that it was the height of black lives matter thinking of the movement the next stage and i played with that idea and then i went back to organizing of the daily grind but then the presidential candidacy happened and they started to see the ramping up of the right wing to call black lives matter a terrorist group and so we need to write something and said somebody asked if i wanted to publish a book? what do you think and sh

and malcolm x's autobiography, i mean, is a massive bestseller, it's on every college campus, it goes out of print and then is reprinted dozens of times, and it's sort of the gold standard in terms of memoir. but after his assassination in 1965, dozens of activists then use that template, right, to write about their experiences in prison and to think about the relationship between being black and being imprisoned. and so i'm interested in those because they tell us about black consciousness, and they tell us about the criminalization of poverty, and they tell us about black networks, and they tell us about how black americans viewed the political system and how they operated within informal political structures. i mean, they tell us all kinds of interesting, important things about how black people have survived under a surveillance police state for so long. and then i'm interested in how they talk about their relationships within the movement. and so how they talk about resistance, you know, having families as an act of resistance. how they think about closeness with other activists.

george bush is a black revolutionary, malcolm x, rosa parks, george bush.he essence festival. h the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. cohigher!ad! higher! parents aren't perfect, but then they make us kraft mac & cheese and everything's good again. can start in the colon constiand may be signs of an imbalance of good bacteria. only phillips' colon health has this unique combination of probiotics. it provides four-in-one symptom defense. it's your daily probiotic. but their nutritional needs remain instinctual. that's why there's purina one true instinct. real meat #1. a different breed of natural nutrition. purina one true instinct. now, try

just ask malcolm x who got assassinated because he decided to leave the faith. this ist has different standards of what they feel is hateful. what they teach on the college campuses today is that if you are not in power, which they consider a minority not in power, then you can't be racist. this is going to be something that goes on for a long time because no one is standing up for free speech.ta no one is standing against this hateful rhetoric. we tried to report it every day at the leadership institute campus reform, but a lot of the mainstream media is not covering this. >> tucker: i should just say in the interest of total disclosure and honesty, i know some people in the nation of islam who are really nice guys.w there is no defending their core beliefs, which are racist by definition. they think that god is going to kill all white people. that's racist, i would say. isn't it a little patronizing for the press to give maxine waters a pass in associating with something like this as if it doesn't matter? they have so low expectations for her that they don't call her

is the great american people. times you were going on the ground fifty three years to the day of the assassination of anti-imperialist human rights activist malcolm x. coming up in the show us actors resign dawson and sarah silverman joining jeremy corbyn alice walker and angela davis in calling for israel to release palestinian teenager i had to tell me we speak to professor norman finkelstein about the collusion of human rights organizations as more planes from israel by britain again bomb gaza from the headlines the bank that likes to leave its clients hanging and i spy colbert in westminster but did he spied for a country in the eastern block check it out all the simple coming up in today's going underground but first not even elite mainstream media paid much attention to israel's prime minister in the past few days he brandished a bit of alleged iranian drone at the munich security conference attended by u.k. minority government be to theresa may and russian foreign minister sergei lavrov so given we have yet to interview anyone from the israeli government or the israeli embassy in london on this show has been even netanyahu. here's a piece of

i see them reading malcolm x on if i wear my angela davis t-shirt, inevitably i am stopped 27 times trying to go somewhere. i feel that there is new generation that is tried to figure out how to break out of that impasse and what we should understand here and i think we do understand in this room is that there is an important legacy here that is essential to what it is we have to do from here for that breakthrough. that is why they want to bury it and that is why we want to present it in a film, and a book , in whatever form we can, we need to get it out there. lastly, i want to say that i am so proud to be sitting up here with two of the heroic figures from the black power movement. thank you universe for putting me up here. prof. materre: thank you so much anthony from haymarket books for putting this together. please stay and get your book two powerhouses on the stage. thank you so much. on history bookshelf, here from the country's best-known american history writers of the past decade every saturday at 4:00 eastern. you can watch any of our programs at any time when you visit our website, c-span.org/history. you're watchi

malcolm x. visited britain's most racist town a feature piece which you might want to have a look at because that is what's a lot of other people on the list of what's trending at al-jazeera dot com with something new and different they're. just going to go back to our top story because in the last few minutes the united nations secretary general antonio tennis has addressed the violence in eastern guta which has killed almost three hundred people since sunday streitz to the u.n. he is out diplomatic james bae is with more on that. kemal we have some important developments on the situation in syria and some strong words from the u.n. security council chamber where we've been hearing from two secretaries general right now speaking is the former secretary general ban ki moon he has expressed his sadness about the situation in syria and said the security council should do more the previous speaker was the current secretary general antonio good terrorists with his strongest words yet about the situation in the scooter and so my appeal to all those involved is for immediate suspension of all war of t.v.

malcolm x. others have worked together on fruitville station. so this whole network of stars has come of age, working with each other and the payoff is a great movieces. a great less about diversity for everybody. and great entertainment for anybody who sees the film. that's why it is so special. the black stars and enter teenagers and behind the scenes, people who have come of age. >> and lastly, you took your 12-year-old daughter. >> and my 15-year-old son. >> for young people in this country, their roles where a lot of black pactors and actresses were cast to. see this super hero role for young people like your daughter and your son, what kind of impact did it leave for them? >> a great impact. black people have been super stars and super heroes for a long time of the jay-z, lebron james, they're kind of super stars in their own right. it has taken hollywood a while to catch up to the fact pop culture has embraced black culture and put them in the super hero roles they deserve. so this is something that should have come earlier. it is happening now, finally. >> all right. christopher farley, thank you christopher farley, thank you for being wit

malcolm x, in addition to the fact that he did ask for secure communications on russian facilities about we don't know what, isre any circumstance under which you can imagine him every being qualified by the fbi for a security clearance? >> no. i think he is completely and totally unclearable. that's a phrase i never heard in my career. people like that were fired immediately. they weren't invited in if they were unclearable. that was people with felonies and investigations going on that would not get them a clearance. i agree with you, joy. that one point alone, the investigation into whether jared kushner actually asked the russians to use secure cryp cryptographic systems to hide communications from nsa and cia, tells us that he should not be anywhere near the presidential briefing or any top secret material in the white house at all. we don't know where his loyalty lies. that's just fact. he should not be cleared. after a year, what they should do is remove him from his duties where he has to have access to classified information or the president of the united states should come out and publicly state, i a

center, a black muslim woman who is older and has been around since the days of the civil rights movement and she knew credit scott king and new doctor benny and malcolm x and she wrote about us not only thinking that were running this new movement and in fact we are reaching back to forward into my the of the shoulders of the people we stand on so what i love about that particular essay is that anyone who is in this moment right now needs to understand there is nothing that you are inventing here that you are continuing the legacy of people who sacrifice for us to do this work. as a muslim woman there were sacrifices for me to stand here and say them unapologetically muslim and her words are so inspirational and someone like her who is seen so much pain and trauma and was in the midst of a moment he or she is still alive during the reemergence of a civil right movement in this moment i think anyone who is feeling feel hope sister aisha was wonderful. for the program we talked for your family and your children and you are bringing into the room the lions and lionesses of the civil right movement and all that went into what is now universally praised acr

malcolm x, they did say things like this quite regularly. but today it does not sound right. >> i read your piece when you first and that but what you just said is not an answer to the question about what government does or anybody else does. you can talk about crime in the community and we all talk about it we are concerned about clan but that doesn't mean structural discrimination. >> there was a time when keying thought there was a role for the government to play. equal treatment under the law and that was fine but there was also the role for the community connect the community has a responsibility. >> where is the onus? to have this discussion here. the highest negatives of every category so who takes responsibility for it? >> so with this conversation as a journalist and reporter focusing on accountability. it is relatively futile and relatively impossible for me to show up in the community to conclude exactly i need to hold accountable and how i do that. i can go to a neighborhood in baltimore but the function of the tools i am equipped with to hold power government structure accountable for what it is. so also frankly we have to be clear

you had these people try to make a child and kill monger into like martin luther king and malcolm x. and which is which is stupid there's no there's no comparison there are contrast and kill monger is a a psychopathic murderer but he had this the in the movie you're asked to say well how did he get that way we're we're in a because when i used to read black panther when i was younger i'd say how could this country that had this gift of the you know the vibranium you know you know meteorite how could they sit back and watch so many of their brothers and sisters and slaved thout for a thousand years how can they sit there and watch you know european power. come in and colonize and tear apart the continent which was which was a viable continent before you know colonialism a lot of people think the whole there was a tarzan movie before then it wasn't know it and i used to sit there and say well how how would they treat that and ryan coogler in this movie addresses those issues and makes you debated but he doesn't sit there and say well you know kill monger is a hero for saying i want to help all my o
