martin luther king. oh, for a minute, please. right? i mean, you were an inspiration to him, weren't you? >> well, i was a messenger. let's just put it that way. i mean, he thought i was an angel that had come to transmit a message from robert kennedy to him on my way back to mississippi about the need to bring the poor to washington, because he was... >> hinojosa: did he actually... he actually believed that you were something of an angel? >> well, he was... well, in the last eight years of his life, which is when i knew him-- i met him when i was a senior at spelman college-- and he was very inspiring in chapel, and i remember it as if it were yesterday when he told us to keep moving and that's something i've internalized. there were two messages: if you can't fly, you drive, if you can't drive, you run, if you can't run, you walk, if you can't walk, you crawl, but you keep moving. and the second message, which i had written in my diary after hearing him, was that you don't have to see the whole stairway. take the first step in faith

martin luther king is a part of it. it is really the arc of a man who starts out as a racist, and is forced to look at himself, and ultimately sides with king. reading this, i shuddered. of coarse lbj is an important personality in the story, as is dr. king, but it was suggested to me that daniels, if he went forward with the focus on lbj was following in the alan parker "mississippi burning" tradition in which the real heroes of the civil rights movement were whites government officials and dr. king and the others would be marginalized. as i worked on the book, i discovered that the story of the struggle for voting rights was a much bigger story. it began years before dr. king went to selma in january 1965. time and time again i was struck by the courage of the citizens of selma, and the others in the student unbridled coordinating committee who came to work for voting rights. while "bending toward justice" covers legislative maneuvering the relationship between dr. king and president johnson, as well as the renewal of

this is the time when martin luther king is making these spell binding speeches. using the bible, and then using american folklore and tradition and american songs and so on and blending them together very very ingeniously. and king understood that he's using biblical passages which are familiar to his black and his white audience, as a way of inducing a bad conscious in his white listeners. and i think king did that very effectively. and one of the people on whom it worked was buckley himself. so that in '62, '63, buckley is becoming more and more sympathetic to the objectives of the desegregation movement. and then of course in '63, that's really the crucial year. because that was the time when conner and birmingham set fire hoses and attack dogs on demonstrators. and in the fall of '63, that's when the church was blown up with the four girls inside, who were killed at sunday school. and buckley realized the defensive stage riots is now being completely lyly lyly gone. so at that point he becomes more and more sympathetic to the civil rights movement. not becaus

and that obviously brings to mind the martin luther king jr. speak where he ends saying free at last, free at last. thank god all mighty i'm free at last. but baldwin also has the passage where he says, robert kennedy says 40 years from now an african-american may be president. but he seems to go onto say that so long as it comes for the good will of candidate, it's a hollow victory. so i'm not sure which of those he wants to emphasize. i'm sure this question of competing definition of freedoms will come up constantly over the course of today. but my main job here now is to talk a little bit about buckley himself, who he was and what he was doing and where he came from. and particularly where he got to by 1965. because i think the that we're seeing him in this video in the midst of a very interesting journey. he began the journal "national review" in 1955. he was born in '25. so he was just 30 when he started the journal, and it became really the most important journalistic expression of the new conservative movement in america. and he had two
