martin luther king certainly from 1965-'68, read his speeches. he calls the u.s. government the greatest purveyor of violence on earth. he calls for, he calls the war illegal. he risks all of his prestige and his allies to make the point that the war is wrong morally, ethically, that it's illegal, and that it's a travesty and a catastrophe for the world. he says in april 4, 1967, we need to get on the right side of the world revolution. i mean, it's hard to believe because of the mythologizing of king, but king was a very powerful and important antiwar spokesperson. muhammad ali, why did he lose his title? because he would not go into the army, and he made very harsh and strong statements about it. the student nonviolent coordinating committee, the people who led the sit-ins and freedom rides. they said no black man should go 10,000 miles away to fight for so-called free come he -- freedom he doesn't enjoy in mississippi. and we are seeing this replayed again, vets came home and told the truth, and that's all they had to do is tell the truth about what they saw, w

relationship with martin luther king, well, martin luther king was his host when he spoke on novemberin montgomery on the emmett till case. then a relatively unknown figure outside of montgomery. as i said rosa parks was in the audience. the king papers don't have much at all really before the montgomery bus boycott. there's very little in there. i know they were friends. i know that king would often tell people well, how's -- well, how is dr. howard doing? and dr. howard was certainly supportive of king. but i don't think it was -- there wasn't a close political relationship that i can see really, you know, 56, 57, 58. i mean, howard was more involved in local activities in chicago by that point. >> and shortly, the work he did in chicago, coming to chicago, most of it had to do with the medical center even though he dabbled a little bit in politics. he went back to his first love and that was healing the sick. and so his center was a beautiful center. he would help people like angela davis and some of the others on the walls so people came in they felt better because they would see

martin luther king. i have the police trying to shoot me then. i am doing everything possible we're good people the reason why the white supremacist are afraid because we do all the work and they take all the money. you could not use those with a black man open-heart surgery and everything. calling for a full investigation where does the money go? we only have paper and pencil so i am asking in god's name, i go to the court over false accusation we are prisoners over our own bodies have a nice and wonderful life as i have never seen a man, you have controlled us like the indians you have controlled my way and i will die for my rights so therefore right now even though they took away my medical insurance that is how the what is but what am i supposed to do? >> guest: thank you for your call. i don't have rule out any real advice. fight back and speak up and good luck. >> caller: i get every chance i can get to tell people about no child left behind even if they are in a special ed pond and then found an opposition because the special lead children

does any decent person and think that if david duke were leading martin luther king, david duke should get favorable coverage in the media because of winning begets winning coverage? is just nonsense argument that we shouldn't take seriously and am only mentioning it to get it off the table. because when you get down to it, it really comes down to a simple understanding of what the press is there for. is there to give us the facts, it is there to tell us what's going on, it really is there to be the impartial referee, and let us decide. the american people are not that stupid. just give us the facts and let us decide. i don't think it's that complicated. part way to the campaign to show you how crazy it got, when a mysterious mental disorder broke out in some places in america including the media and it happened interestingly right after sarah palin was put on the republican ticket, it was a mental disorder that came to be known as pds -- palin derangements syndrome. whether you like sarah palin or not and i understand there are some people who think she's great and some people who are

these people must follow a pattern that martin luther king said.aybe they will get something done. all those tactics they are using, throwing rocks, martin luther king did that do that. we did that do that at all. we marched peacefully. individually we sat in front of the bus. thank you. host: thank you for the call. in this twitter, "president obama speech in cairo and republicans say that he should worry about home. he rightly stays out of iran and now he should speak up"? in most of the leading newspapers, this story about the agreement between the white house and the drug industry. here are some of the details. "the pharmaceutical industry agreed to spend $80 billion improving drug benefits for seniors on medicare, deferring the cost of health care legislation, which has been tapping secret negotiations involving key lawmakers in the white house. this deal marks a major triumph for senator baucus, as well as the administration. the montana democrat has been negotiating with numerous groups for weeks as he tries to draft legislation that meet th

here's a man before martin luther king who was a pioneering civil rights figure. comes out of a self-help mutual aid tradition which really, you know, a booker t. washington tradition on a way and he built on a foundation of fraternal societies and black entrepreneurship. he also just goes against the stereotype of a civil rights leader. he wasn't a leftist, particularly. he was an anticommunist. he wasn't really an ideologue in any sense. he wasn't a gandhiian figure. he wasn't an advocate of nonviolence. well, he was but he was always -- he always had weapons with him just in case. and he provided a foundation for later successes in civil rights and left an important legacy. people like medgar evers and fannie lou hamer and perhaps rosa parks. however spoke in montgomery on the emmett till case on the eve of the montgomery boycott. it was still headline news when rosa parks refused to give up her seat on a montgomery bus. rosa parks said at that moment she was thinking of emmett till. three days before that, she had attended howard's speech where the topic was e

and they saw one of these billboards on the highway, and then, you know, martin luther king at communist training school, and then they saw a second one, and miles was disgusted. but as the third one loomed up in the distance, one of the kids turned to miles and said, that's the dumbest advertisement i've ever seen, it doesn't tell you who to call. so here was the white citizens council, the ku klux klan trying to discredit king, and all they were doing was promoting communist. .. >> you could go to an oil rig and find five workers sitting round trying to read, trying to write their own stories. what an exciting kind of extraordinary thing. i think learning should go from okayed toll grave. i think it's one of the crazy things about our educational system, it's considered for the young, like the young learn and then what, go on automatic pilot? that's nutty. so i did admire that and i do admire that. so, yeah. i don't find that objectionable. >> host: we have way from the odd generals. >> i'm from cleveland, and me question is on the educational line which piggybacks on the question the

king as a young age sitting at a highlander workshop and the banner above the bill board said, martin luther king at communist training school,

martin luther king's niece has had two abortions. she now heads up an organization called the silent no more awareness campaign. and she speaks out and says that this is the new civil rights movement, protecting the unborn child. but equally protecting women from abortion. it is violence against women, it is violence against children. the new global office on women's issues ought to at least be neutral, i would say, affirm the unborn but at least neutral when it comes to respecting unborn human life. i thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey's time has expired. the gentleman from florida reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from florida is recognized. mr. hastings: mr. speaker, i'm very pleased to yield three minutes to the distinguished gentleman from colorado, my colleague and a good friend of the committee on rules, mr. polis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from colorado is recognized for three minutes. mr. polis: thank you, mr. speaker. today i rise in support of the rule and h.r. 2410

king sitting at a highlander workshop, and the banner above the billboard said martin luther king at communist training school. and miles described -- we remembered the poster, we remembered it as a postcard, miles described taking a road trip with a group of young people to birmingham, alabama, to participate in a demonstration, and they saw one of these billboards on the highway, and then they saw a second one, and miles was disgusted. but as the third one loomed up in the distance, one of the kids turned to miles and said that's the dumbest advertisement i've ever seen, it doesn't tell you who to call. so you'd think here was the white citizens council, the ku klux klan trying to discredit king, and all they were doing was promoting communism. that's the kind of feeling i had there. in terms of hugo chavez and what's going on in venezuela. there's a lot to say about what's interesting about it, and, you know, i was there several times. my son chess saw lived there and worked there, but i did find when i visited these, you know, venezuela's a place that has not had education for

i'm often asked to do that about martin luther king, for example. i think abraham lincoln based on everything we know about him, he was a wise man. he was pragmatic. he had a human touch. i think he would look at obama as president. he would look at the great progress we have made with sotomayor nominated for the supreme court. i think he would say that we are on the verge of a new birth of freedom. host: the firefighters of new haven say their civil rights were violated. what is your view of how this played out? guest: one point i would make is that everyone should remember that no one got promoted. that is the first thing. it was not a case of promoting some and not others. they threw out the test. the city throughout the test -- the city throuew out the test because they did not think it was valid. they need to go back and find a new way to assess people. they need to have all sides agree that they will use it. they need to have a time line on it. whoever makes it ends up getting promoted. we should remember that everyone is working there as a fi

martin luther king once said that non-violence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time. the need for man to over, oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. -- the need for mental over, oppression which a four-man to overcome -- foremen to overcome -- for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. this is not only in that country but also among nations, so today, mr. speaker, we rise in support of non violence in that movement. >> mr. speaker, we just have one additional speaker, and i would like to call on behalf of the resolution, and member of the foreign affairs committee and our conference chair on the republican chair for the remainder of the time. >> he is recognized for 4.25 minutes. >> mr. speaker, thank you, and i think her for her expeditious work in bringing this to the floor in an expeditious manner. -- i shanker -- i think her -- i thank her. today, in the wake of a week of violence and tumbleult in ir, the american people through this congress will condemn the violence, and

just as martin luther king took lessons from gundy and his struggle for civil rights -- ghandi and his struggles for civil rights, i think iran could take the same lessons. i remember the iconic photos and films of the alabama protest and the civil-rights protests. i remember ghamdi pantages people -- ghandi and his people sacrificing hundreds of lines for machine guns to gain independence. i think -- the iconic photo of a young student being slain. i compare that to the point of a person being cradled in the arms of iran. those are the kinds of images that will turn not just heads of around the world, but also create a pressure on the brutal regime. any thoughts on that? guest: i agree with you that learning lessons on how to make non-violent protests more effective is key to the iranians being able to keep pressure on the regime's. the government is aware of the old tactics. this government has tried to preempt protests by filling public squares with police before demonstrators can get there. they are blocking communications. perhaps sit end in mosquessit- ins in m -- sit ins in mosq

i imagined myself as a latter-day martin luther, taping rather than hammering out criticisms of orthodoxy for all to see. i generated my posters by typing them out over and over on the black typewriter using carbon paper to produce more copies at a time. i had only 12 contentious theses, not luther's 95. after a nights work, i gave my posters to the world on the 15th. . . deer bob off the beginning of my letter, added a conclusion and send it away. months passed without a word from national review. i assumed they had not liked the submission and thrown away. this was standard procedure in journalism. after the new year, i got a letter from a c hçó simon, the managing editor, deer mr. brookhiser, please forgive our slowness in dealing with your manuscript. it somehow got buried on my desk. this, i would learn, action was standard procedure. priscilla buckley, bill's older sister and managing editor, and i have read it and weçó want to publish it. anyone who submit something for the approval of the world expects in somee1 corner of his mind that he will be approved but when approval actuall

so i'm wondering -- suppose you -- suppose you met -- i mean, gandhi, martin luther king, these are people who have religious inspirations. i assume you have some sympathy with both of them. and there are many fine figures i mentioned to you the other day when we were speaking over dinner the president of al-azar, the mosque university who invited the archbishop of canterbury from the pulpit who had said if god wanted to created one he would have. he would have created one but he created many. i find myself resonating with the words of that religious figure, and i wonder if though many things have been done in the name of religion we should remember things have been done in the name of irreligion too, stalin, hitler, pol pot, not religious any of them. >> i agree but i disagree. i think we need to clarify the mind. the evidence of evolution is very evident now. you know, the evidence of evolution became very, very evident. and people need to have clarity, not to be confused. and religion is confusing, in fact. it's confusing. you don't know. it makes everything ambiguous. and i am not -- o

then what happens is the wall grows with martin luther king with a powerful quote from me, 1967, as the wall grows at some point* somebody complains the then said dean says the wall does not belong to meet the door does put the ball is the public square then i have to take everything down so i take everything down and it starts over. i am the education professor so i have to have the chalkboard i must remember to be cheerful and obedient rich and over and over. >> i was in the merchant marines 1964. i dropped out of michigan and chose the merger remains that is my identity card. >> these are my three kids who are now all grown at a teacher in oakland california now, fed is him at eight years old he is now a playwright and a teacher at columbia university and he is an author and first-year law student at yale. >> this is my play right to son and his wife and she is a novelist. and a poet. >> it is crowded because i have been here 20 years. these are my three kids. that is our place in california that i mentioned. that is us. about 12 years ago. >> several of my students have published bo

martin luther king when he said that in justice and health care is the most shocking and inhumane of disparities. there is someone at the university of nebraska, where i am. i even tried to understand the solutions to the growing problem of health disparities. i think to really better understand the issue, i need to discuss very briefly nine different areas that i think contribute to or explain the dilemma that we now face. first, understand the diversity it is important to look at diversity in america. over the past 20 years, the proportion of whites has decreased to 69% now in 2003 and during that same period, the proportion of african americans has increased slightly from 11% to 12%. hispanics have got up to it 12%. the country is becoming increasingly more divorce, making their health care issues uniquely different from other comparable nations around the world. the u.s. census bureau had initially said that by the 2050, 1/2 americans would be a member of a racial and ethnic group -- the country is becoming increasingly more diverse. there are some areas, like washington, d.c., w

my favorite interview was congressman lewis and he told a wonderful story about him and martin luthering been in washington, d.c., and he is the oldest surviving member of the march on washington, and that was one of my favorite experiences. ", how did you get to the floor? host: how did it to the floor? guest: woods is moseying on in there -- we were waiting for joseph biden to speak, no way for him to come out and we walked inside and we saw a council member from new york that was familiar with our work, he said, inside and talk to us, and from there he took down to the floor and we saw michelle obama speak. host: do your friends share the same interest in politics and journalism? guest: not all of my friends and i did not expect my friends to share the same interest. if not for the case there would just be a bunch of myles', but my friends understand issues going on in the country, that task force is not the only thing that is going to drive school success -- test scores, and regulations are things kids don't understand. when you bring stuff down to a level where kids can understan

-- posters anti-protests protest on the school wall i enlarged -- imagine myself a latter-day martin luther hanging up orthodoxy for all to see. i generated by posters by typing them out over and over on the black typewriter using carbon paper to produce four copies at a time. i had only 12 species, not withers 95 procter one night's work i gave my posters to the world on the 15th. all of my efforts on the more organized protest by helped to deflate that went in my weekends letter to my brother it made for a longer storey than usual and the next letter home he said he had enjoyed it but my father said why don't you send it to "national review"? no one in my family knew anything about journalism. we knew william f. buckley, jr. from television and we had been subscribing to his magazines for happier maybe that is enough. i took it dear bob off of the beginning of my letter added a conclusion and assented away. months past without a word from "national review" play assumed they have not like to the submission and have thrown away and this was standard procedure in journalism. then after the n

martin luther king jr. put it best when he said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. afro latinos face a long-standing struggle against racial discrimination and a lack of opportunities. afro latinos make up approximately 150 million of the region's 540 million total population and awill will long with women and indigenous populations are among the poorest, most marginalized groups in the region. people of african descent comprise a significant amount of the population in several latin american countries and are 50% of the region's poor. for many descendents, endemic poverty exacerbated by isolation, exclusion and racial discrimination in. in brazil, of a ro latinos are 45% of the population but constitute 49% of the poor. in columbia, the plight of afro columbians is harshest as they are all too often caught in the crossfire of violent conflict. congress previously supported the united states-brazil joint action plan against racial discrimination and house resolution 1254 and called for b

like martin luther king created a civil rights movement. roosevelt spearheaded the conservation movement with perpetuity. for example, many of our for strangers in the west were rough riders who had served with him. he wanted to protect wild areas, to protect against poaching. he was doing law-enforcement, saying we are going to protect our air loans. he called all these places like wind cave or yosemite or mesa verde our air loans that were going to protect and police. we're training people to be conservationists in west virginia. >> if you look at the banners in this room, you have locations that was involved in. >> he saved them. >> he left when he was 51 years old. he did not live beyond 60. do you think at the time he thought they would be that important all these years later that this kind of thing would be celebrated in history? >> he would be pleased. remember, because of our time limits i cannot get into specifics. >> you might want to buy the book. [laughter] >> people talk about the bull moves of roosevelt. 100 years ago in 1909

i imagine myself as a latter day martin luther taping rather than hammering up criticisms of orthodoxy all to see. i generated my posters by typing them out over and over on the black typewriter using carbon paper to produce four copies at a time. i had only 12 contentious thesis, not luther's 95. after a night's work, i gave my posters to the world on the 15th. all my efforts and the more organized protests i hopeyydñ t deflate went into that weekend's letter of my brother. it made for a longer story than usual and in his next letter home he said he enjoyed it. my father said, why don't you said it to national review. no one in my family knew anything about journalism. we knew william f. buckley from television and we've been subscribing to his magazine for half a year. perhaps that would be entree enough. i took dear bob off the beginning of my letter, added a conclusion and sent it away. [laughter] >> months passed without a word from national review. i assumed they had not liked the submission and thrown it away. and that this was standard procedure in journalism. then after the ne

how about martin luther king? he had a dream or one day people would be judged by the content of their color, not the color of their skin. because he had a vision statement, he could articulate a parade because he could articulate, he could inspire others to follow. ronald reagan had a vision statement. he had a dream that his hope would be that one day the world would be free of the threat of nuclear war. he invented and put forth the missile defense program, which right now is being chipped away at by a recurrence administration. ronald reagan was a visionary. he had a vision of america, that shining city on a hill. what is your vision? what is it that you were called to do? you can have several visions. you have your individual personal visions for your life, your relationships. those above all else are critical. one of the things i try to focus on, especially in my work in washington d.c., is reminding all of these great people like come to town to save the country that if you save the country and you lose you

martin luther king gonts a phi more hits and got rubs -- runs in. it was a sloppy game on boats sides. >> it was. there was more of an opportunity to score more runs. it got off to a slow start in the first inning. brian roberts singled. felix pie singled behind him. roberts breaks for thiferd. pie was late breaking for second and stops and gets tagged out easily. then, marlins they too had mistakes. uggla hits what he thinks is an rbi single. nick markakis throws out jeremy hermida. his eighth assist of the season. look at uggla. he's got to be on second base with that throw to the plate. he would later not score on a ground-ruled double to center field. here, bonifacio on the error by the wieters just keeps running around third base when felix pie held the ball. when you have a base runner on base in a tight game like that and he is a fast runner like bonifacio, unload it in a hurry. get it to sene on the -- somebody on the infield and out of your hands. bonifacio did a good job of brung baserunning by going to third base, looking back at pie seei

i think it's appropriate to quote martin luther king when he said of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking. my name is rubens paismies, i'm a physician and researcher who has tried to understand and find a solution to health disparities. i think i need to discuss very briefly nine different areas that i think contributes to or explained the dilemma we now face. first, understanding the diversity. it's important to look at diversity in america. over the past 20 years the proportion of white americans has dpe creased from 83 percent in 1970 to 69 percent now in 2000. during that same period, african-americans have increased slightly from 11 to 12 percent, however, the proportion of hispanics has jumped from 5 percent to nearly 12-and-a-half percent, this makes our health care issues uniquely different from comparable nations around the world. the u.s. census bureau, in fact, had originally estimated that by the year 2050 nearly 1 in 2 americans will be a member of a racial ethnic group, however, now they indicate this could occur as early as 2037. currentl

martin luther king jr. once said nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time. the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. mankind must evolve all human conflict, a method which rejects revenge, aggression, reand talluation. today we are not only supporting democracy in iran, we're also supporting the nonviolent thrust for democracy in iran. so the conflict mace be settled, mr. speaker, without resulting to weapons to violence and conflict, not only within that country but amongst nations system of today, mr. speaker, we rise today to support the proponents of the nonviolent movement. the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentleman has expired. who seeks reck snigs in the gentlelady from florida. ms. ros-lehtinen: we have one additional speaker, i would like to call on the author of the resolution, a great member of the house foreign affairs committee and our conference chair on the republican side, mr. pence

like martin luther king and lyndon johnson in the '60s and the labor movement and franklin rooseveltin the 1930's and 1940's. president obama who started as a community organizer in chicago clearly understands this. that every president, every successful president needs the outside citizen movements in order to make big changes. let's just listen the two what he told us that take back america on his most recent visit >> and all of you, activists from all across the country, we will take our country back. take back to america, this is our time, our time to make our mark on history, our time to write new chapters in american story because there are a few obstacles that withstand the millions of voices, not from the top down but the bottom of. that is how we brought an end to discourage of slavery and brought an end to jim crow, that is how women got the right to vote, how we brought an end to the viet nam war, how we will bring an end to the iraq war and exactly how you and i will change this country. [applause] >> he gets it, he understands and during a speech to amazingly successful

black history to me was martin luther king. that is said. >> the beginning of the end. >> that was pretty much it. i found a new frontier in african-american history. i was very, very excited about it. tick every class i could. got a minor in african-american history. >> civil-rights law, i take it. >> yes. very, very interested in pursuing a degree in civil rights. went back to that and told them. >> why are you doing this to back and i told him about discrimination and intolerance and haven't bothered me deeply and i wanted to go out and make that my life's work. he said okay. all right. obviously you don't care about money. you're never going to make any money. >> that's really not my motivation. i want to give back. of what to do something that is important for my country. he was the one he said why don't you think about teaching. nothing wrong with being a lawyer. there are a lot of them. goodness knows there are plenty of hundred lawyers out there. knowing you you will end up taking on the pro bono cases. they would appea

problems, we just had one of our major hospitals in south central close down, and that was the martin luther king hospital. now people have to go a dangerously 18 minutes more away mr. that hospital for emergency -- from that hospital for emergency care. these are some of the things we tend to set up as objectives to reach the goal or comprehensive health care for all americans. thank you. >> dr. brian smedly who's the vice president and directer with the joint center for political and economic studies is not here, but we do have his statement, so we would hope that you'd pick up a copy of the recommendations in the unequal treatment report on health disparities which is, i think, included in the statement. congresswoman allard has a few brief comments. >> yeah. i wanted to make another point about why prevention is so important because we all know that prevention saves lives, and it improves health outcomes leaving our families and our communities stronger and more resilient. and it also has the potential to save our nation precious health care dollars. for example, the trust for america's

martin luther king jr. used to often quote a rabbi, two jews and a black, killed for registering people to vote in mississippi. stephen tyrone johns lost his life defending visitors at a holocaust museum at the handses of a why the supremacist. as i believe president lincoln would paraphrase, their sacrifice is far above our own ability to add or detract. i would hope in this moment that we would recognize that the ties for human decency and dignity that bind us, that the blood that unites us is stronger than the hatred and acts of violence that divide us. it is my sincere hope, mr. speaker, that we might find some shining moment in recognizing that we have more in common and working together than we do fighting and being apart. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from west virginia. mr. rahall: i yield one minute to the gentlelady from california, mrs. jane harmontana. the speaker pro tempore: recognized for one minute. ms. harman: thank you, mr. speaker, and i thank the gentleman for speaking -- yieldi

martin luther king certainly from 1965 to 198. read his speeches. he call this u.s. government the greatest purveyor of war in the world. he risks his prestige to make the point that the war is wrong, morely, ethically, illegal and a travesty. he says in 1967, we need to get on the right side of the war revolution. it's hard to believe bought of the mythologizing of king but he was a very powerful and important antiwar spokesperson, muhammad al limit why did he lose his title? because he would not go in the army and he made very harsh and strong statements about it. the student nonviolent coordinating committee that led the free tom rights they said no black man should go 10,000 miles away to fight for a freedom he doesn't get in mississippi. you're seeing this get replayed gem it vets came home and told the truth. and what they witnessed and expertensed and the disillusionment was a common feeling month people my age as they returned from vietnam. i had a brother in the service, classmates in the service, cousin. they were so disillusioned they joined the antiwar mo

it would be like martin luther king creating a civil rights movement. roosevelt was spearheading the conservation movement for perpetuity. many of the first rangers in the west were rough riders who served with him. he wanted to militarize areas because he was able about poaching, people stealing petrified wood. he was doing law enforcement and saying we were going to protect our heirlooms. he would call these places like wind cave or yosemite or mesa verde national club which he created. they're training people how to be conservationists in west virginia. >> if you look around and all of these banners hanging in this room have locations that he was involved in. >> he saved these. >> again, at the time do you think, he left when he was 51 years old and he was president, he didn't live beyond 60. do you think at the time they would be that important that all these years later this kind of thing would be basically celebrated in history? >> he would be pleased. but remember, because of our time limits, i can't get into it in a microwave a specialist, but t

we need to see on the palestinian side for any of this to move toward we need to see that next martin luther king or ghandi or even nelson mandela -- somebody who has a board looking a vision provide possibly future state of palestine is ever to apply because at this point we are looking at two factions that are at war with another that are based on the destruction of something rather than the creation of something. i don't think that hamas are fatah have put together a platform that talks about what future palestinian state would look like and i think that is one of the main reasons we see them and the position they are today. >> a question of their. >> just to step back for a second when you're discussing in the united states policy visavie fatah and propping them up, and as you know both under the previous administration and the current one, one of the episodes of success with policymakers pointing to is the mission a by lt. dave then improvise security training and coordination to the palestinian forces under president abbas and prime minister fayed. considering we are actively training

i was in primarily caucasian upper-middle-class and black history to me was martin luther king and rosa parks. >> host: that was the beginning and the end. >> guest: that was pretty much it and i had found a new frontier in african-american history and was very excited about it and took every class i could and got a minor and african-american history -- >> host: and that leads to civil rights law? >> guest: yes. i was interested in pursuing a degree in civil rights law, and went back to that mentor of mine, dr. williams and told him as of this graduating getting ready to take the test and preparing to go to law school and choose a school and he said why are you doing this? why do you want to be a civil rights lawyer and i told him about discrimination and what bothers me deeply and i wanted to go out and make that my life's work and he said okay well obviously you don't care about money because you are never going to make any money, you know this, right? i said that isn't my motivation. i want to get back and do something important for my country, and he was the one that said why don't

martin luther king jr. breached nonviolence and his great movement heeded this call in the -- of unspeakable violence. this is a terrible perversion of what it means to be pro-life. while we have different views on this issue, no side should resort to atrocious acts of violence such as this. since 1977 there have been more than 5,800 reported acts of violence against providers like dr. tiller. since 1993, eight people have been murder and there have been 17 attempted murders since 1991. clinics like dr. tiller's over a 20-year span have been bombed 41 times and faced 175arsons and 96 attempted bombings andarsons. i understand this is a compassionate issue for both sides. we cannot allow this to continue. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from north carolina. mr. coble: i continue to reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: i now yield two minutes to the distinguished gentlela

sacramento california and i was in a predominantly upper-class schools and black history to me was martin lutherking and rosa parks and that was it. >> host: that was the beginning in the end. >> guest: that was it, and i had found a new frontier in african-american history and was very excited about it and to get free class i could and got a minor and african-american history -- >> host: and that leads to the civil rights law i take it? >> guest: i was interested in pursuing a degree in civil rights law, and went back to the mentor of mine, dr. williams, and told him as i was graduating getting ready to take the test preparing to go to law school and choose a school and he said why are you doing this? why do you want to be a civil rights lawyer and i told him about discrimination and intolerance and how it bothered me deeply and i wanted to make that my life's work and he said okay, all right, obviously you don't care about money because you're never going to make money, you know this right? i said that isn't my motivation. i want my life to have meaning and give back and do something for my co

is that we need to see on the palestinian side for any of this to move toward reducing the next martin luther king or a hot madani or nelson mandela, somebody who has a forward-looking vision for what the puget -- futures and the palestine is to look right because at this point we are looking at two factions that are at war that are both based on the destruction of something rather than the creation of something. i don't think that hamas or fatah have put together a platform that chile talks about what a future palestinian state living the look like and that is one of the main reasons when we see them in the position they are today. >> a question right over there. >> just to step back for a second, when you were discussing at the united states policy vis-a-vis fatah and propping them up, as you know both of the previous administration and the current administration one of the episodes of success that every policymaker can point to is the mission by it lieutenant-general keith data and to provide security of my training, and coordination for the palestinian forces under president abbas and pri

let me close by saying, martin luther king jr. said -- quote -- "the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice." we know that in israel's quest for security there will be trials along the way. there will be setbacks and there will be dangers too tremendous for words. but if we continue the work that we do and continue to stay true to the stlals drive our journey, then the long arc will eventually rest inlace in the land of israel, and it is a just and lasting peace tha that willg be at hand. thank you, mr. president. i yield back whatever time i may have left, and i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: how much time is recalling in morning business on the democratic side? the presiding officer: 16 minutes. mr. durbin: mr. president, i am going to ask consent for an additional five minutes on both sides in morning business and i will try to not use it, if i can. so i ask consent for an additional five minutes on both sides. the presiding officer: without objection, so o

next steps that we need to go toward building this more perfect union, to doing the things that martin luther king jr. would talk about, where you have a color-beelined society. i-- where you have a colorblind society. i think one of my loadstars for policy-making is mr. wilberforce who worked on ending the trade in great britain. it took years and they got it done. i also acknowledged friends of mine that traveled across america with a kettle, and this kettle was a kettle that former slaves used to cook in, as far as they would do their evening cooking and for their meals, they would cook in it. and this was kind of gathering place for the slaves of this gentleman. it was his a an ssess terse' kettle. he took it around the country and talk about them getting together for a meal. after the meal was done, they would clean the kettle out and it was big enough that they would actually hulle huddle ndee kettle and they would pray. they would pray for their freedom. he was talking about the kettle tour because in this was the aspirations and hopes to be free. and they were taking it around the cou
