martin luther. king, junior, speaking december 20, 1960s -- 1956, announcing the end of the montgomery bus boycott after more than 380 days. in a moment, we will play more of the documentary "king -- a film record." it has just been released on dvd. this is democracy now!. we will be back in a minute. ♪ from the movie. we bring you major portions, part of the last week of black history month. this is democracy now!, democracy now.org, the war and peace report. we returned to the film where the actor james earl jones reads the langston hughes element and also the announcement of the beginning of the birmingham campaign, a boycott of businesses that discriminated against african- american customers. it led to hundreds of arrests, including several arrests of dr. king himself moved to write a letter from a birmingham jail. in this next segment, you also hear dr. king read his letter in the context of the movement been underway. a response to a statement by a white alabama clergy entitled a call for uni

martin luther king junior being one of those.e know that martin luther king junior's foundation was in jesus christ and we know that shaped him and able to help him to lead a nonviolent movement, but it is just so interesting that all of those parallels come together in the years and the fight for freedom and liberty, it is just a sensitive battle and i actually had an opportunity to go to south africa and to hear how the people have been so encouraged by their hero. and he has become an icon and a world hero. and i believe that we should remember him always in that maerp. and even now at 94 years old and struggling and fighting for his life, you can see that strength and that courage. it has been part of his legacy and message throughout his life. and we are praying for him. >> of course, and both men stressed the importance of getting opposing sides to talk to each other. that is what set them both apart from other leaders. >> this is so true and that is the diplomatic characteristic also of a leader of that magnitude. martin l

this is vintage martin luther king every sunday. you think that is the best he ever did, you have to dig deeper into his stuff. it is fascinating as we get to august of this year to talk about martin luther king 50 years later especially in the air of obama. here is where we have a segue .o bergeson -- robeson what is fascinating is going to be how we navigate this moment later this year. i raise this because my friend cornell west -- >> he is quite an outspoken critic. many: we have had so conversations about this issue. give me a minute to set this up. you will appreciate this. a few you years ago, every year there is an official mandela lecture in south africa. and so some world-renowned figure is asked to give the mandela lecture annually in joburg. asked to give the mandela lecture and he delivered the address. he used a phrase in that speech that has been picked up a lot -- by a lot of people and been sic dissected. he referred to what was happening to mandela as the santa clausification of nelson mandela. what he meant is you

martin luther king. so faced with what they perceived as a threat, the security state did what all security states do when faced with the perceived threat. they surveilled dr. king around the clock. they stalked his every move, broke into and bugged his office. they bugged his hotel rooms and they were trapped into his phones. the fbi and jay hoover were obsessed with ruining dr. martin luther king jr., in 1964 after hoover called king the most no notorious liar in the country in a press conference, a package was sent to king in the mail, a package the house select committee ultimately traced back to the fbi. inside this package, one of the most remarkable artifacts in american history was an anonymous letter addressed to martin luther king. and a copy of an electronic surveillance tape apparently to lend credence to threats of exposure of derogatory personal information made in the letter. we don't know to this day for sure what was on that tape. the heavy speculation throughout the years it was of pers

martin luther king jr.0 people in what has been the largest civil rights demonstration in american history. the great march to freedom, walk to freedom called for an end to segregation no matter the color of their skin. today marks the tragic day of sacrifice in the civil rights movement. it was on this day 49 years ago that three young civil rights workers were brutally murdered in what became known ooze the mississippi burning case. they were registering black voters when police arrested them on trumped up speeding charges in rural philadelphia, mississippi. they were released from jail straight into the hands of men from the kkk who tortured and murdered them. it was a chase that electrified the country. tv networks cancelled their regular broadcast. >> 100 men are looking for them. the plane fact is whatever secrets lie under the green slime. this is backwoods mississippi. >> the brew tool murders shocked the nation and helped americans understand what was really happening in the south. joining me is ma

martin luther king's time is past. this is our time.ong march towards civil rights is here. >> dr. king's time has passed? just the opposite. his dream lives on in battles over voting rights and women's rights and gay rights and economic justice. all things that the far right has tried to block, obstruct, or roll back. joining me now is james peterson and dana milbank. thanks for coming on the show. >> hi, reverend. >> thanks. >> james, what is glenn beck's obsession with the civil rights movement? >> it's a fairly sinister obsession, rev, and i appreciate your comments opening up this segment. but when you look at it, it does two things. at the same time it's disrespectful to those folk who understand the legacy of civil rights for african-americans in this country, that speaks directly to his base. so he is able to do two things here, rev. he can allow them to enter into the victim subjectivity, something they always rail against, but they love sort of stepping into the role if and when they can. and number two, his audience and his l

a whole mass meeting and a whole martin luther king speech on one person was televised. that's a remarkable thing. people who had never discussed race were discussing race. >> i think this march will go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest demonstration for freedom and human dignity ever held in the united states. >> reporter: but once again, triumph was brief. less than a month later, on sunday morning, september 15th, birmingham's 16th street baptist church was bombed. four young black girls were killed. the movement was devastated. the november 22nd assassination of kennedy brought further despair, but branch says it also became a catalyst for ultimate change. >> a lot of people said somehow this is about hatred, and somehow the civil rights bill, which is stalled, is about overcoming hatred. and president johnson very skillfully spoke of that, helped essentially turn president kennedy into a martyr for this particular cause. and so history took off from there. >> the landmark civil rights act was signed into law on july 2nd, 1964. throughout the tumultuou

after they jailed martin luther the children began marching.eople saw it all over the , and they organized a rally to protest. only a few people showed up. clay got up there and said, we should have a march that will scare the devil out of the police, and they will hide area hide. they will we started organizing the march. we had no idea what was going to happen. clay got in touch with them. we decided to meet in churches every week and announced a march. to our amazement people began pouring in from all over the state. theade a huge difference role detroit began to play and the movement. a chanceery time i get to speak i kissed the ground for what the hall represents relative to the march. every time i would go to detroit to celebrate what happened that day in that building. detroite will celebrate not only for freedom marches but creating a whole new way of life. when this documentary that is out now, which is called the evolution of grace walks, been your what has evolution? >> when i joined the movement, the ideal revolution came from the r

martin luther king." and we're going to pretty much have a lot of subtle messages saying, "well, what if this happened to america? and this is how we feel." and i happened to be in hamburg, germany, when all of it was going down. and like i said, it was like--it was a highlight of my career, being that we played in arizona with u2 in sun devil stadium, no pun intended. you know, everybody was expecting the big p.e. show to open up for u2. and we played that song and then got off the stage. and by the next year, they voted in a dr. martin luther king holiday. my whole thing was saying that you can spur and you can trigger minds into not being so much asleep by using art, using song, to make them think progressively against what's wrong or what's ignored. oftentimes, when we're not heard or seen while we're in pain, you know, it's business as usual in america. and my whole thing is to say, "well, sometimes it can't be business as usual, because slavery was business as usual." and if you have the discussion

martin luther king's time is past. this is our time and the long march towards civil rights is here. stand without fear. lock arms and stare-down the bullies with a full armor of god. [applause] honor, courage and love is what is required. they are contagious. spread the word, proclaim liberty throughout the land. let us today as george washington said raise the standard that the allies and the honest can repair. the rest of it is in the hands of god. god bless. thank you. [applause] [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen just so you know, we are joined today by some friends of mine whose son ann was killed in a single team six and i just want to thank you for being here today. [applause] and i met another parent whose son was also killed on that mission. you should have received a text message. if you have been to our web site, which is audittheirs.net and asks you to call and let your congressmen know that this scandal was not resolved and we want some accountability and there is a link so if you didn't go to the site, g

men and women who led the civil rights movement, rosa parks, martin luther king jr.y are true heroes. i'mi'm not ready to put edward joe den in that category. i don't remember rosa parks and martin luther king jr. running off to hide in china. theythat's a little different than putting the nation's security at risk and running away. >> cenk: oh, edward snowden is not martin luther king jr. you win. we already knew that. that's apples and oranges and in a different part that have commentary he knows a lot of people in government and he likes a lot of people in government. but bob, that's the problem, you know those guys too well. you think these are my buttedies. don't reveal information about them. and i think you totally lost traffic of challenging the government. so, you know theater. let's bring in the panel again casper the reverend, lee fang, he writes for "the nation" in san francisco. lee, i'm starting with you. bob shaefer guilty or not guilty. >> guilty. the biggest bias is not is a close connection to the establishment whether that's the big business commun

but what i am saying is that martin luther king was kept in jail and accused for 30 days.r threatened with life in prison. and so the penalties are disproportionate to it. so i think you can't quite compare them. but i will say that mr. snowden hasn't lied to anyone. he did break his oath of office, but part of his oath of office is to the constitution, and he believes that, when james clapper came in march, our national director of intelligence came and lied, that he was simply coming forward and telling the truth that your government was lying. this was a big concern of mine because it makes me doubt the administration and their word to us when they come and talk to us because they have now admitted that they will lie to us if they think it's in the name of national security. >> i believe that director clapper has said that, when he said the u.s. didn't spy on americans or gather information wittingly, that he was talking about the p.r.i.s.m. program. but i want to move you on -- >> he admitted that he lied, and he said he was saying the least of untruthful things. so he

a little book was published called martin luther king jr. and the montgomery story. it told the story of the montgomery bus boycott, the story of rosa parks, the story of more than 50,000 people boycotting buses in 1955 and 56. and that vote, that little book was picked up by a young student in greensboro north carolina. he read the book and started sitting in the three other students and then we read the book in nashville tennessee and we started sitting in. this book has been translated, a little book that cost only 10 cents back in 1957. it's been translated into more than four languages and it has inspired people in the middle east, in vietnam and especially in egypt. i want to see young people here in america feel the spirit of the 1960s and find a way to get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble. this book "march" also tells several other stories. one day we were sitting in nashville, a little group of us young black and white students on fisk university tennessee state vanderbilt university, and a young waitress came up and said, we don't serve -- do you

martin luther king, jr. were in the forefront of the civil rights movement. there's been no similar movement to end mass incarceration. >> i think dr. king would be just so deeply saddened and appalled by what we've allowed to happen in this country in the years since his death. >> we're told to visit the prisoner, and so that goes with what we do and who we are. >> tom navin oversees prison ministries for the catholic diocese of little rock, but he says jesus' command to care for prisoners is not widely followed. >> we've gotten people to be interested in prison ministry and contribute money to us and pat us on the back, but it's really tough to get people to volunteer to go into the prison. that's really a tough sell. >> as an ordained baptist pastor, judge griffen believes churches should lead a national campaign against mass incarceration. >> we don't recognize the god in our brothers and sisters who are in prison, and the biblical imperative is for us to see that our sisters and brothers in prison are our sisters and brothers. we owe it to god to get the

but this is more than martin luther king jr. we appreciate that., thank you for fighting so hard to make a difference, and loki, thank you for telling the story. >> michael: coming up in the war room all of us celebrate the proud statesmen and then we look at the bumbling careers of not so proud ones. "the war room" returns in a moment. minutes we're going to do the young turks! i think the number 1 thing than viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. they know that i'm not bsing them for some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know i'm going to be the first one to call them out. cenk on air>> what's unacceptable is how washington continues to screw the middle class over. cenk off air>>> i don't want the middle class taking the brunt of the spending cuts and all the different programs that wind up hurting the middle class. cenk on air>>> you got to go to the local level, the state level and we have to fight hard to make sure they can't buy our politics anymore. cenk off air>>>

martin luther king jr., right? so i think my reading of history is that surveillance systems are ripe for abuse, and when there are actual documented acts of abuse, i'm more inclined to think we'll see a turn-around in public opinion. >> but alex, that is exactly what we do not have is a documented case of this type of abuse. the martin luther king jr. equivalent type of abuse, the kind of momentum that triggered this type of investigation in the '70s. we heard snowden use the word abuse, but just the word. he doesn't tell us what the abuse is, it is entirely possible that his notion of abuse is not abuse to a majority of americans. and so his debate is also rigged on the snowden side, where there are absolutely no specifics involved -- supporting his argument that he absolutely had to release this information. >> well -- >> go ahead. >> i mean, the aclu has been sort of leading the fight on this. and they're trying to gain more transparency on what exactly is happened. but that is basically shut down at th

the reverend martin luther king jr. was watching at home.ot only stepped up to the plate, he hit it over the fence. it was a milestone for civil rights. but the struggle and the sacrifice was far from over. just four hours after the president's speech, civil rights activist medgar evers was assassinated in his driveway by a white supremacist. these times were changing, but there was still a long road ahead to achieve the dream of civil rights. joining me now is president kennedy's leading biographer, the author of "an unfinished life." thanks for coming on the show tonight. >> my pleasure. >> the president kennedy's speech came after real reluctance on his part for getting into the issue of civil rights, didn't it? >> yes, it did. he struggled with this issue for a long time. you know, at the start of his administration, he put three major reform bills before the congress, a big tax cut, a federal aid to education and medicare, and he was reluctant to put a civil rights bill on that agenda because he felt that the southerners would reject it

. >> i think that's what people think of wiretapping, they think of the martin luther king thing and the kennedys. they're listening to me. in fact, what they're finding out is, okay, i called my wife, ideally my wife in most cases, and i talked to three minutes. i said, what are we having for dinner tonight? >> now the government knows what we're having for dinner. >> i want to know this. i care about this. inevitably it's my big question. i know it's totally political. when something goes wrong, i politically correct maybe up at some airport and saw four guys from the middle east walking together in somewhat of a suspicious action. in fact, they didn't have the right i.d. in some of these cases. would they have flagged them? that was improper to do that. did this stop some terrorism? i think that's the first question. i think mike rogers says yes. chairman of the house committee. >> my gut tells me because of the amount of information that it's certainly likely. let's be clear, if we were to pick up the understanding that somebody that was bad overseas had a certain cell phone numb

king and saying well you know he was accused of having affairs martin luther king that is not where i want to see people go right now it's not right to go there right now these people are our heroes they're under the gun each one of them look where they are bradley manning's been in jail for three years jeremy hammond for over a year and is going to be forced to plead as forced to plead guilty to a possible ten year charge julian assange is likely i think more likely than not facing indictment in the united states and that's an interesting part of this film i think that's underestimated by a great deal in the film by giving he says what is julian worrying about wising in that embassy there's no charges in the united states i would ask the filmmaker how does he know there's no charges one of his lawyers and i think it's more likely than not there's a grand jury there's witnesses called and they don't reveal sealed indictments until they have the person in custody and until they do that how can give me say. there are no charges so you have all these three people you have snowden

i mean, martin luther king and the civil rights movement, which i was early caught up in, john xxiii, the good pope, the genial john xxiii, john f. kennedy, you know, perhaps the first catholic, and vibrant and young and energetic. so -- and i -- i was absolutely caught up in what was then called "the movement"... c-span: but you're a lutheran, though. >> guest: i was a lutheran. oh, yeah. oh, yeah. but what i wanted -- and the pertinence of this is that it was assumed that i was going to go on -- that is, the faculty and most of my friends assumed i was going to go on in an academic career. but i -- i wanted none of that at all. i wanted to -- inner city, preferably black, very poor, the more desperate, the better. c-span: why? >> guest: i make no apology. i was a starry-eyed kid full of enthusiasm. and we went to the personnel director. you didn't get a choice, really, at st. louis, as to where you would be assigned. you'd be assigned, literally, anywhere in the world. but i told -- you could state a preference, so i gave that preference for inner city work, et cetera. and the direc

martin luther king jr. and present when lbj signed the bill into law in 1965. still has one of the pens and he said that his message to the court would be come walk if our shoes. you know, you were not facing the dogs and you were not facing the water hoses and you don't know -- it took us 100 years to get that law passed. and he said that it was stabbing the voting rights act in its very heart. your reaction today. >> well, first of all, that's a very eloquent statement by john lewis, to which we all have to really pay attention. i mean not only did the court not walk in the shoes that john lewis walk in 50 years ago, but, you know, the court also is not walking in the shoes of our clients. the naacp legal defense funds represents black voters in shelby county, alabama. we were parties in this case. we argued this case in the supreme court. and our clients can well attest to the ongoing issue of racial discrimination and voting in their jurisdiction. shelby county, alabama was found by a court to have engaged in voting discrimination just in 2008. so this is n

. >> martin luther king did not write a letter from a hong kong hotel. he wrote a letter from a birmingham jail. whether you like it or not, whether you have faith in the arc of the moral universe in this country, we do have a history in the past 100 years of having nonviolent resistance, of people submitted themselves to the law and public opinion being changed through that process. we have a very long history of that. we saw john kerry speaking. this is a man who throuew his ribbons over the wall and expressed some level of solidarity with the vietnam war resisters. we also had the pentagon papers and we had the individual involved in the pentagon papers, dan elsberg, submitting himself to american justice. >> was it right for the government to prosecute elsberg under the espionage act? >> i'm not familiar with the -- i'm familiar -- >> but that's the question. >> -- of the case of the espionage act. i think it probably was at that point in time. >> chris, i think you were the only person who asked this -- shouldn't the government prosecute in some way

martin luther king jr., rosa parks, sojourner truth. too long, the capitol collection of statues failed to include courageous african- americans who led some the most important movements in the nation's and world's history. the installation of this statue in a place named emancipation hall is just one step toward correcting that glaring omission. the base of the statue bears an inscription with the words frederick douglass and was said famously said 155 years ago. he said, "if there is no struggle, there is no progress." after a long struggle, millions of tourists who come across a country no longer have to wait to see this statue and the place where it belongs. now this generation and future generations can honor the legacy of furtive douglass at the center of democracy -- frederick douglass at the center of democracy he fought for. there is no more fitting way of honoring him than with this statue. thank you. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, dr. edna g. medford of howard university. [applause] >> thank you and good morning. thank y

but showing the vision of martin luther king in planning this march, he said we've got to reach out. it's got to be inclusive. you've got to have jews, you've got to have christians, you've got to have labor. so they expanded, and secretary of labor roy worths is there, whitney young, dr. king, a. phillip randolph, president kennedy, vice president johnson, walter luther and i forget who that is on the far, on the far right. this was the meeting that took place in the white house after the march. but to see all the pictures from the march, the book will be out in august. by the way, i do want to tell you that this book, um, is so easy for me to promote it and tell you about it because i'm not profiting from this. all the royalties go to the d.c. public libraries.

folks, i believe this is what martin luther king was talking about when he dreamt of a day when peoplel creeds and colors could sit together at the table of brotherhood to discuss microwaving arabs. but it is a little embarrassing for me because i never thought these ignorant bigots could ever be smart enough to build a death ray. it turns out i was just blinded by my own prejudiced. i judged these klansmen on the color of their robes and not on the content of their radioactive murder machine. and for that, i must take a moment right now to say, can you clucks clan, i apologize. i can't imagine that anyone could ever take that out of context. we'll be right back. xppppxppxpxppxppxpxxxxxx >> stephen: thank you very much. welcome back, everybody. my guest tonight has a new book called "far from the tree." the kindle edition has never even touched a tree. please welcome andrew solomon.
