the exhibition luther ninety five treasures ninety five people explains martin luther's path to becoming the reformer with help from the well known figures he influenced and artifacts from the time. this information. come to these are items that luther was familiar with even things he held in his hand. of course there are things created by him like his writings that was under the quote was there also pieces mainly artworks that illustrate the world at the time of the reformation of title. a very different kind of exhibition was on display this year in berlin the scapegoating pictures by british artist in george that critical of religion no matter which facts. were very lucky that we didn't have a rulebook to follow the church as the bible we have a rule book to follow we have no we've torn up all the rules long ago. numerous protestant churches a rose from the reformation movement. with luther in fact is about an exhibition dedicated to the global phenomenon. but even it makes no claim to completeness it's going on endlessly look there are endless strains of protestantism that all differ

considered one of germany's finest renaissance painters and many of the most famous portraits of martin luther were produced right here in this workshop. but kind of didn't just paint luther more importantly he printed and published his writing printing was as high tech as it got because the revolutionary gutenberg press had only recently been invented if you want to print many evil style you can give it a shot here at the kind of home. oh oh oh and there's med school gets visitors every day here he's taken time out to print something just for me but first we need to pick the letters. oh he's got to me i've got an e. . it's a little short for printing because he is way to look don't let's add a luther rose. copyright copyright so to speak all or no. marching route or luther himself. seen enough of him knew about just how about something historical i've got an old skyline of it in back. yes near the will drop that in there and see how it looks. then we'll head over to the printing press. let's do a test run i don't hold the door to film it's get some income there. you can do it so that i will j

has an ambiguous relationship with martin luther. he his portrayed the nazi era rush. to envisions a synthesis of the protestant religion and national socialism. cosies that is following from luther's anti semitic statements which the nazis were only too willing to use in their propaganda. to me. it creates a certain dilemma to see luther glorified so much and hear people say he was so important for germany he translated the bible. but he had some ugly sides and for me those much larger than the good things he contributed. has also joined in to dismantle the great reformers image in a video produced especially for the exhibition the own phone terry blow of germany's art world presents different views of luther ranging from agitated to neurotic. fail to do away with all religions or even say it in profess it and call for it all religions must be gotten rid of. that would have been his obligation to reform something that was not reformable it's a mistake and it's cynicism. such ransley fans of luther's shaking their heads to the exhibition at the hour is called ninety fiv

in britain back martin luther reinvented himself as a reformer aided and abetted by the artist who cuts cannot. his portraits of luther were intended to make the church reformer better known. luther was appointed professor of theology at the university of britain back which had been founded in fifteen zero two. in fifteen seventeen he wrote his ninety five theses against plenary indulgences and false religious practices that reflected the growing and the roman sentiment in the country and turned luther into a hero of the people. but he became a pariah of the catholic church. via shipping and the image of martin luther with his hammer at nails is a nine hundred centuries invention who would have read the theses had they be nailed to the door of the casa. church in britain back on the thirty first of october fifteenth seventeen a long text ninety five long complicated sentences in latin. but the legend of luther nailing the ninety five theses to the door of the council church is one that refuses to go away. i mean since five hundred and what happened to the doubting and desperate martin l

that's right ben it was on this day five hundred years ago that other german monk and theologian martin luther unintentionally began a process that would lead to a radical split in the roman catholic church and the creation of a new christian faith the protestant religion luther nailed his a famous ninety five pieces as a list of questions and criticisms to a church door in the town of it and not far from berlin average more people were won over by luther thinking especially in northern and central europe but the roman catholic church denounced the protestant movement and millions of people were killed in the religious wars that swept across europe for a century and a half here in germany martin luther remains a national hero and an inspiration for many. like. martin luther like you've never seen or heard him before to these students he's the boss from the bag legend has it that it was here on this day five hundred years ago that nailed his ninety five theses to the door of the castle church the document was an attack on corrupt practices in the catholic church allowing sinners to buy their wa

hot oratory entitled elisa based on the life of the great church reforma martin luther with the choir of more than three thousand voices comprised of men and women from the region. you seem to respond to here and what's fascinating about this oratory o. or musical if you like is that it presents luther as an ambiguous figure not simply as a good personally but he's flawed so i mean he's also a sinner and he's very much aware of the service in going to as if this you know is the voice. it's been you know from you you're the only one in my family who's actually lutheran. i originally come from northern germany with the separation of the various protestant churches is still very pronounced everyone in the family is protestant but i am also lutheran to mine them so i had no choice but to think about and consider luther the man and question often and that's. why i have a lot tougher i mean i used to think of luther as one of those people we learned about religion classes oh my god we saw the film about his life and talked about it a bit at school. but that was the extent of it. i wasn't ev

joining me now is civil rights leader advocate martin luther king iii. martin, as we look at this poll, one of the things that your father struggled with and many have struggled with before him and you and i after him and our generation and those younger than us is trying to give people that are treated in a double standard and that are being in many ways wanting equal protection under the law hope and not pessimism, despite the adversity of the hour. in this hour, how do we deal with that, when you have an outright fight going between the president and athletes over the very issues that you and i and your parents before us gave their lives for? >> you know, reverend, thank you for the question. let me just say that somehow we have to always maintain hope, even in the darkest hours. i'm sure my father and his team and many others before him went through all kinds of tremendous adversity. but there is hope. now, let me give one example. just a few weeks ago during the weekend of the ceremony of the late, great dick gregory on that saturday of his home goi

me that we shouldn't have role models we should learn from historical figures like martin luther. the woman question is actually quite differentiated is was a marriage of equals which was very unusual for the time but he was deeply conservative and from our perspective the worst thing was his hatred of the jews especially in his later years. and i believe i've read that even his contemporaries were appalled by that to some extent that's why he was extreme even though he treated jews was widespread extreme things he wouldn't. go. there preached freedom and freedom of faith and the individual but he also caused religious division which led to the violent and bloody religious wars in which hundreds of thousands died in the big question is was it worth it. yes yes. or no. that's a good question it's never worth it yet you have a single human life is worth more than any theological principle and from today's point of view what happened is horrifying. but at the same time it was a hard one lesson in the value of religious tolerance for germany and europe and you would think. that these

and it was so important for martin luther. talked about. you your the youth being well educated and said that well educated youth would protect the city is because they said he said that the youth and well educated citizens would be the very best way protecting cities and society. so that's the start. of. the reformation ushered in an interest in education with the printing press suddenly. the scum of the hearts of society who would never have had access to education before were suddenly being educated this led to a completely new perspective for individuals development and whole swathes of society equal opportunities education for everyone and they put in says education for the public good are still something we all talk about and remain incredibly important in this begins with children who go to. nursery and school every little boy and girl should have every opportunity to learn regardless of their family background and that some children require more support to learn than others particularly if they don't get much support at home the chi

one of the most iconic fighters was martin luther king, the civil rights activist. my guest is his daughter, bernice king. thank you. you are ceo of the king centre in atlanta, georgia. like your late father, martin luther king, you are a church minister, you also preach his message of coexistence. when you look around the world today, including the united states, do you see coexistence between different peoples? you certainly see it in — in various places, when i travel around the nation and the world, but i think holistically we have a lot of work to do in terms of understanding our different cultures, appreciating them, respecting them, and finding a common way to move forward in society. because, you know, we have a society of laws and opportunities. and i think that's where much of the friction lies. so, just looking at the united states, algernon austin, who's an african—american, he wrote a book called america is not post—racial. he says the civil rights movement of the ‘50s and ‘60s, that it failed more than it succeeded. he thinks that you didn't make progr

martin luther king did not think it was a good idea. but the young people went ahead they were 13 and 14 and 16 when they see the picture that time referred to and great many of them a great many of them marked the day point in their footsteps toward joining this movement to transform the nation. in this and the horrifying strategy but you can never forget that. they broke his fever which is the strongest bone in the body. they had to jump up and down on it to do that. there in the equipment shed and clipped his year off. and shattered his goal into many pieces. and popped his eye out with a metal instrument. all of this driven by i white supremacy. this country's birthplace not constituconstitu tion hall in in philadelphia where thomas jefferson wrote the declaration of independence by a person of the death of voter ship but the mother of his children. if you think the country is crazy that is one place to start looking. to be born at the bottom of the atlantic ocean where the bones of dead african and settle into this and -- say and i

sam: in a previously planned event they came together at the martin luther king memorial. white, catholic and evangelical to follow model of martin luther king who 60 years ago wrote the essay on non-violence and national justice. even as they also looked at the horrible situation in las vegas on which they offered prayers and questions of why people do such things. >> i really do believe that one of the barriers is we don't know each other well enough. >> we have to get to know each other. we will solve the problems. >> one senseless tragedy of dr. king's day when they preached hope. >> when they murdered the girl in the birmingham church in 1963, king was able to speak to inexpressible grief an mourning and horror. sam: the ministers say they don't know what the las vegas shooter's motives are but it has to boil down to hate. that is what dr. martin luther king stood against. >> we reached a point in our society where people feel the only way to resolve problems is to resort to violence. >> the same spirit is the one that plays out in inner cities daily when young people

you had two brothers, martin luther king the third, and dexter.other martin is doing it as well, he is just my brother martin is doing it as well, he isjust not my brother martin is doing it as well, he is just not a my brother martin is doing it as well, he isjust not a preacher. but he is doing it as well. he is doing ita he is doing it as well. he is doing it a lot of travelling, carrying some of the messages that i carry all over the place. and so i wouldn't say that it is not carrying, but we are carrying it out in different ways. dexter is a little bit more reserved than personal. he doesn't do public speaking, he doesn't feel co mforta ble speaking, he doesn't feel comfortable in that space. and so i think each one of us are doing it in different ways. you know, what has helped all of us, because we have talked about it before, if our mother had put pressure on us, it would have been really hard. but she took that pressure off, and that has helped us to process through the external pressure that we have in different seasons of our life. you

so how is the world different today because of martin luther for that i'm joined by religious first correspondent martin jacques good morning martin good morning you know there's the argument of course that martin luther laid the groundwork for the american revolution for democracy as we know it today would we be free without martin luther i think we would certainly be free i mean most likely would have a much smaller circle of doctrinal religious positions so i think that minimally what we can say is that it defined much more clearly what would become sort of the pluralism within that within the christian church which was sort of dominated by by the vatican and by catholicism that goes to say that it also defined sort of the political the political landscape bringing to the game many more players are opening the gates for many more players to join the political the political arena than had been sort of allowed up to that point ok including by translating the bible into the vernacular into german you know starting the process that way that would lead to that taking away from the academic language

like martin luther king didn't think it was a good idea. but the young people went ahead, they had one thing in common, many of them called themselves the amit hill generation. they were 15, they were 14, they were 16 when they saw that picture that tom referred to and a great many of them, it marked that day as the day that pointed their footsteps toward joining this movement that would transform the nation. it is one of the most important things about, it's the most important thing about this story is not the horrifying tragedy of it, as horrifying as it is and we can belittle that, we can ever forget that, they broke his femur which is the strongest bone in your body but they would've had to jump up and down on it to do that. they were in an equipment shed, i'm sure there were plenty to choose from, they clipped his ear off, they shattered his skull into many pieces, popped his eye out with some kind of metal instrument, every blow affronted white supremacy. this country's birthplace is not constitution hall in philadelphia. it's not a b

martin luther king wrote the essay nonviolence and racial justice. after last night's shooting in las vegas a group of religious leaders gathered at the m.l.k. memorial in d.c. to stop about ways to stop the violence. d.c. bureau chief sam ford is at the memorial to explain. sam? sam: the groups that came together represented representee knights of columbus, black and white evangelicals to follow martin luther king's message of nonviolence. they don't know the las vegas shooter motive but they involve hate and not love. they celebrated 60 years of nonviolence and racial justice in which he said to retaliate with hate and bitterness would do nothing but intensify the hate in the world. >> the people of hate believe the neighbors are brothers and sisters. they have to act like it and set an example. >> preach love for your fellow man. in the shooter had embraced just that doctrine the shooting would not have occurred because he would have had love for people he shot. sam: the same spirit of violence that motivated the shooter in las vegas motivates man
