that's martin luther king, reverend dr. martin luther king jr., because he knew about dressing up your bigotry in the garb of religion as opposed to exposing yourself so that all peoples who oh fall above god recognize they're sinners and therefore in the need of love. i don't see the self critique among these christians on the right. where is your self criticism? what would god be distressed with? what would oh god be disgusted with? how would god be critical of you? they are so righteous. everybody thinks if jesus were to come again, they would embrace him. no, they all are the kibld putting jesus on the end. we don't want anybody who is snotty-nosed, black, gay. these are the people jesus came for. i have come for the least of these. and as a result of that, the people's inability to make those distinctions reinforces the very bigotry that jesus stood against. >> dr. michael eric dyson, well-said and hopefully somebody on the right will listen. at least to jesus. if not to michael eric dyson. remember to answer tonights q

first question the other day was plaintively, is it really true martin luther king was only 5-6? [laughter] yes. the next question. yes, sir. >> i want to compliment you on a gorgeous, eloquent speech full of wisdom really. one just has to listen and be totally impressed. and i think the most ironic thing with your speech is that the people who can benefit the most who work about 300 yards from where you are speaking are not here to listen as we did to a beautiful speech. thank you. >> thank you. [applause] just one quick comment on that. members of congress didn't show up at the march on washington 50 years ago either. there were only a couple. in 1963 what they did instead was that they had a quorum call to spread upon the pages of the record the names of anybody who was not there, because they wanted to attack anybody who showed up at this march. never be convinced that the march on washington 50 years ago was a warm and fuzzy event. there were riot troops stationed all around. they canceled elective surgery, and to me, the most amazing -- and they eliminated, they banned liqu

many don't know this because they associatete martin luther king primarily wir the civil rights movement, but when mandela was in prison, he went in '61-62, martin luther king spoke and described south african s racism as the worst i the world and he says even denying the blacks of basic right of non-violent protest. of course, everybody is mandela to gandhi and martin luther king, although neither of them was in favor of violence, but nelson mandela went to violence not to take over the country, but to get the white minority regime to listen to the demands of black people, but even as late, early in '64, martin luther king was calling for nelson mandela's release. in 1965, he spoke in london, and called for internal sanctions. he echoed that in the '80s and, of course you know, the free south african movement in which president obama spoke of being a part of as a young student was very much a part of the ultimate number of things that brought a man to apartheid in south africa. i was u here in '85, and as you said, it was a gruesome, gruesome period, and i went to a hilltop so that i co

martin luther king jr.t for that here in america and nelson mandela fought so hard in south america. those movements did finally meet and i think that was their commonality. >> i think they were both noble peace prize winners and they overcame racism, and when he came out of friday, you mention thad he came out a very different man. he was stilled with humility, grace, and gentleness that he took with him when he went to office. he ended up working with the very people that villainized him for all of his life. how does a person come to the place where they can put aside the bitterness, hurt, and all of the offenses they have receive todd do that. >> as you ask that question, i think about my own father reverend a.d. king, who when hi uncle, martin luther king jr. was killed, i wanted to hate somebody and strike out at somebody. he said you case hate white people, you can't hate any people, it's the devil and we have to fight the devil. martin luther king jr. always said i will not stoop so low that men will

. >> your friend martin luther king jr. had an impact on the world as well. what was the connection between these two leaders. >> both of them are fighting apartheid systems. out of king was the "65 act. redefining the laws. 18-year-olds couldn't vote. you couldn't go on college campuses or go bilingually. the coalition led to the sanctions against south africa, set to free nelson mandela, and free south africa. they are aware of our kinship. >> reverend jessie jackson. president obama paid tribute to the life of nelson mandela. he ordered flags to be flown at half staff at the white house and federal facilities. let's go to mike viqueira. the president had a lot to say about nelson mandela, right. >> he did. it's no secret to anyone that follows the career that this man was an inspiration to him throughout his life and as a matter of fact inspired him to get into politics. president obama told the story how as a young student he was never interested in politics until he got to college and ended up at public rallies, antiapartheid rallies on campus. worked on

the united states was martin luther king who had one great advantage that mandela did not have. martin luther king could connect aspirations to vocabulary of the natural rights philosophy of the declaration in which he could say our racial practices are discourted with our practices. mandela didn't have that fall back on making his achievement remarkable. what could have been algeria, a simmering war became a peaceful transition of circumstances. >> you heard remarks about mandela. he referenced him many times and says he's an inspiration to him. you wonder if there are leaders out there like mandela to be had. >> mandela is in the category of martin luther king, jr. those type of people don't come along very often. there's many remarkable things about him but in particular when you consider how he was treated as a captive and comes out. for 18 years of captivity he was allowed to see one person a year 30 minutes, send one letter and receive a letter every six months. most of us would have gone crazy. by the time we left we would have hated the people who kept us captive. he was

and many people don't know this because they associate martin luther king primarily with the u.s. civil rights movement. but when mandela was in prison, he went in '61/'62, martin luther king spoke and described south african racism as the worst in the world, and he said even denying blacks the basic right of nonviolent protests. and, of course, you know, everybody's comparing mandela to gandhi and martin luther king, although, you know, neither of them was in favor of violence. but nelson mandela went to violence not to take over the country but to get the white minority regime to listen to the demands of black people. but even early in '64, martin luther king was calling for nelson mandela's release. in 1965, he spoke in london and called for internal sanctions. he echoed that in the '80s. and, of course, as you know, the free south africa movement in which president obama spoke about being a part of as a young student was very much a part of the ultimate number of things that brought an end to apartheid in south africa. i was here in '85. and as you said, it was a gruesome, grue

martin luther king, jr., in a 1958 article and later in 1964 during a college commencement speech. er closely watched what was going on in africa and inspired by him. joining me now the son of martin luther king, jr. it's great to have you with me, sir. your mom and your sister bernice, they all traveled with you as you attended the inauguration of mandela. tell us what it was like, that kind of impact that was had on you and your family in 1994 and what that meant knowing the history you were coming from here in america. >> first, i would say thank you for the opportunity. as we mourn this loss for our world. but i remember in 1986 actually protesting at the south african embassy along with my mother and sister where we were arrested. of course, in 1994 going to south africa twice, on two occasions, one during the electoral process and, of course, for the inauguration, which was, of course, a celebration, which was really, in a sense, earth shattering to see the first african head of state of that wonderful country who really taught us about the power of forgiveness. that is what i

he made many references to martin luther king to that, one of them being let freedom ring in south africataking a piece from martin luther king's speech. nelson mandela was praised and loved in atlanta. he made the visit because of the civil rights movement. he made a lot of references during that speech to his own country and south africa and the similarities between the civil rights movement in america. >> robert ray in atlanta for us. >> in 1990 nelson mandela visited new york city as we mentioned earlier following his release from prison. thousands gathered in harlem to hear him speak. john this afternoon, what can you tell us? >> a lot of people have been stopping buy just to share memories. as you mentioned it was 1990, 100,000 were in new york city. there was so much anticipation and people remember him stopping and pointing to the apollo theatre. you can see the marquee is up, it's been up since the news came out. it says in memory of nelson mandela, he changed our world. many remember in 1990 when they made the visit they had a marquee saying welcome mr and mrs nelson mandela. it

he was something of a contemporary with martin luther king, junior and the parallels are rather striking an obvious. both of them believed in something and willing to fight and die for that something. he was the most humble, gentle man and he had an engaging smile. his eyes twinkled and this was a human being who had spent all that time in jail, who had all these difficulties, yet he kept his humanness and was willing to reach out to other parties, and so i was deeply moved every time i met with mr. mandela. but nothing was like his inauguration in may 1994 that i was privileged to attend and i saw there the real nelson mandela who came upon the stage generals ofthe four the south african defense force as his guard of honor which was a symbolic moment where the power of the state was being given to this lack man. oath ofup and gave his office and recognized his jailers in the front row and it was one of the most deeply moving moments in my experience as a diplomat and soldier. i was the first secretary of state that happened to be black. we have to get beyond these labels, depending upon

there are many parallels between nelson mandela and martin luther king jr.. >> thank you very much. >>> actor david hai harewood portrayed nelson mandela. i spoke about how he played such an iconic role and how he prepared for it. >> initially e excited and then deep roll and and then you hit this fear. how do you play a myth. how do you play someone who has been so extraordinary in his life the only way you can approach it is to read as much as you can and watch as much as you can. day after day he revealed himself as the ultimate human being. the ultimate warrior and ultimate soldier. and the more i read the more i got to know him. and he became less of a myth and more of a man. more of a human being. that is his testment. that is his legacy. i was surprised at how much i didn't know the more i started to uncover the struggles of the anc and the struggles of him personally with winnie and that was interesting. because i played him in the movie which was essentially about winnie mandela and i had no idea and i don't think anyone had any idea of all of these smiling shots of him comin

maybe when we have martin luther king day he will be a white guy. at everybody has to be included is meritless. >> you are saying that -- you know that martin luther king jr. was not a white guy. he is a black man. scholars are telling you that jesus is not a white man but you won't concede that point? >> i'm saying that hollywood has depicted him that way and the great artists have for hundreds of years. if you have a problem take it up with them. >> hollywood in american movies have made him look american and european artists made him look european. but there is something larger here that connects megan kelly's comments. >> how did megan get into this again. >> what she saying and what a lot of people mean when they say santa or jesus is white is that santa or jesus is mine. >> how would you know what megan kelly thinks? how do you know about megan kelly's motive? how do you know that? >> what i'm saying -- >> you -- >> you just answered the question. what i'm saying is that in the very terminology of the way that we define these icons, whether the

>> i think he and gandhi and in america martin luther king are in a category by themselves. gandhi and king were martyred. but the agonizing ordeal of nelson mandela for 27 years and how he came out of it a better man than he went in captured the imagination of people as nothing else had. his enduring power is that he showed us that there is true freedom in forgiveness. and in the mental and emotional discipline to live in the present and think of the future. >> part of our conversation with the former president from his home this morning. by the way, the clintons will join the obamas along with george w. bush and laura bush at nelson mandela's memorial services in south africa. president bush senior is unable to make the long journey. former president carter has yet to release his plans. >>> in this country for millions of americans tonight, the news is a massive ice storm churning through the center of the country east of the mississippi river, most of it. several deaths are already being blamed on the storm, and it's going to be a big factor on into the weekend. we begin o

martin luther king. ld away in a sense paralleled those of mandela's. bernice king joins me to talk about it. such a pleasure. nice to have you on. >> thank you, brooke. glad to be here. >> let's begin with when you were 27. it was 1990, and that was the year mandela was released, and you had this realization as a 27-year-old, this man had been in prison your entire life. >> my entire life. >> your entire life, and you decide to go to south africa because you wanted to hear him speak. what were you listening for? >> well, i was listening for any traces of anger, any traces of bitterness, because i was still wrestling at that point with a lot of anger and bitterness in my own life because of my losses. and i just knew this man had to have some. and so i told my mom, i wanted to go to the inauguration. and she said, well, she can't afford to pay for it, and i told her at that time because i had been doing some public speaking, i said, i'll pay for it. i did just that. my own money, and i went to the inaugur

. >> this was a project when i saw this photograph at the martin luther king center in atlanta in 1992 and realized that this photograph was iconic representation of the sick and and i knew the woman in the center of the photograph. i had met her through her children 20 years before in arlington virginia when i was a playground director and i knew at that moment in the context of all of the iconic civil rights paraphernalia at the king center this is a story that needed to be told so i decided at that moment to go home and start interviewing my friend and find out about. >> did you recognize her in the picture and had she already talked about this experience and sit in? >> i recognized her in the photograph because the children had a total out on occasion and said my mother is a famous photograph, so why didn't really understand how significant that photograph was until i saw the context. >> and what did you learn about the civil rights movement that you hadn't known before? >> what is interesting about this story is that she is a southern white woman who came to see her family and for

with great leaders like martin luther king and malcolm x, there will be efforts to convert mandela into a very safe character in order to advance the ends of the global elite. the battle over mandela's legacy will not await his burial nor will it await a period of mourning. it happens immediately. and for that reason, how we interpret his life and work will determine which nelson mandela we are actually recognizing and praising. mandela will be missed, but we cannot end our thought there. we must express our appreciation to the creator of all things that this planet was blessed with nelson mandela and those who stood with him in the global elite declared the situation [speaker not understood]. i never thought nelson mandela would be released from jail, and then he appeared in oakland at the oakland coliseum in 1990. that was probably one of the best days of my life. but i just wanted to end with a song, so many songs uplift me from peter gabriel to jerry damers and the special to sun city [speaker not understood] including [speaker not understood], jeffery osborne and others, but i'll j

he was a man in the mold of gandhi and martin luther king. a revolutionary who spent nearly a third of his life behind bars so his country would be free. flags have been lowered to half-staff in washington and all over the country. reaction has poured in from all corners from global leaders to activists to ordinary men and women remembering nelson mandela. >> our nation has lot of its greatest son. our people have lot of a father. >> let us pause and give thanks to the fact that nelson mandela lived. a man who took history in his hands and bent the ark of the moral universe towards justice. >> thank you for the gift. >> what an extroerdary and inspiring man else in an mandela was. >> going from being in prison on the list of many nations and been the most moral authority in the world was quite a journey. >> he was a stranger to hate. he rejected incrimination in favor of reconciliation and he knew the future demands required that we move beyond the place that he had been. >> let us honor his memory in a dignified way as his leadership they de

made people very uncomfortable at the time, that led to widespread criticism along the way of martin luther kingand continues to make people uncomfortable today. you and me. i can't even -- i will cornifies find that a little bit -- [inaudible] >> the trick is openly admitted to by bryan walker, king's number two canner so the man who played the trick, after it succeeded, was very frank about what he did. he did many, many interviews in which he described bree sizely how hey -- precisely how the pulled the wool over the eyes of the press. it's not a -- it's not a secret or a kind of speculative conclusion. it's what this guy, this remarkable guy, wyatt walker, brilliant guy, stayed in the shadows, and who was the author of this kind of -- those of you who read the book, i'd be very curious to know your response. i don't disagree with your reaction. i think it's weird. what they did. it's weird to think about what they did in the context of -- i can't keep talking about this and not tell you so i'm going to stop. i am with you, and i'm -- i appreciate that response. >> one last question. >> how d

. >> guest: i got this into project when i saw this photograph at the martin luther king center in atlanta in 1992. finish and realized that this photograph was an iconic representation of the sit-in movement. and i knew the woman at the center of that photograph. i had met her through her children 20 years before in arlington, virginia, when i was a playground director, and her kids came to the playground. and i knew at that moment when i saw the photograph in the context of all the iconic civil rights paraphernalia at the king center that this was a story that needed to be told and hadn't been really amplified. so i decided at that moment to go home and start interviewing my friend joan and find out more about it. >> host: so did you recognize her in the picture when you first saw it, or had she already talked to you about this experience? >> reporter: >> guest: , well, i recognized the photo, but i really didn't understand how significant that photo was until i saw in context at the king center. >> host: and what had you, what did you learn from her about the civil rights movement that

martin luther king jr. well, dr. king never met nelson mandela. did keep close tabs on the fight for equality in south africa. martin luther king iii said his constant fight for equality personified what me and my father often said, "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." martin luther king iii joining me now. i'm quoting your dad. this is bringing so many people of all walks to reflect ton a giant man's life and the market that he left. >> yes, it is. he personified more than anything else and taught us the power of forgiveness. love and forgiveness was the essence of nelson mandela. dignity. dignified presence. i remember, for example, on one occasion there were a number of us in atlanta at the king cen r center, and this was the second visit to atlanta, and maybe a few thousand people outside. as he came outside, everyone was trying to get his attention. he went directly to a young kid, about 5 or 6 years old, because he understood the future is as it relates to young people and if i can make an impact on this young man's life -
