martin luther king. when we look at who he really was, we have to go back the on the best -- we have to go back beyond the myth, back beyond the kind of person honored by the national holiday. the importance of coming to a site like this is you begin to see evidence from michael king, the person who existed before the reverend martin luther king. that was the person who was born just up the street, a block up the street, at 501 auburn avenue. that was the person that i hope, as you saw that birth home, you had in mind what kind of would that historical building have on the making of martin luther king. fortunately, we not only have the birth home, but we have a few documents. not as many as when he becomes famous, thousands of letters that people wrote to him. all of those are part of the papers of martin luther king. when we look at when he was growin, his rmative years, we don't have a lot to work with. basically, what we have is a few documents and a lot of memories. some of the memories are not as rel

he becomes reverend martin luther king senior and martin luther king jr. i'm giving you this background because i think that this helps to explain why this place is so important. why the birth home is such an important place. this is where, literally, martin luther king junior changed his identity. this is the place where he has his early experiences. this is the important thing that comes through in that wonderful document, the autobiography of religious development. that is something that he writes during his first year at theological seminary. a handwritten paper. i would love to show you it, just to see the way in which he kind of sketches out his life. he says, "i was born in 1929 on the eve of the great depression, which spread its disastrous arms throughout the nation." that is how he comes to his anti-capitalist view of the world. that's all in the first paragraph. have you ever read a document that reveals so much more than that? just from its beginning? those of you in this class understand that beginning, because it is the beginning of the auto

an hour.bout who is martin luther king -- mr. carson: who is martin luther king? one side of him is a famous individual. he was a 1964 winner of the nobel peace prize. he was the most influential leader of a great social movement. who wase only american honored with a national holiday in his name. that is the uniqueness practically everybody in the world knows the name "martin luther king." the question i would like to address in this setting is who really was martin luther king? advantages of using a setting like this is that we can really practice history to which it be. it should not be about names and dates that you remember. it should be about the study of the things that survive from the past. that is why a site, a historical site, is so important. that is why the king papers project, when karen scott king edited his papers, she understood that in the long run, what would survive where the papers that martin luther king produced during his lifetime. is part of what i would call the legacy of martin luther king. if we want to get close to who he warily -- she

martin luther king came to mississippi. i was asked by the civil rights leaders to be the host for martin luther king and take him on a trip to hell, into view of the ruins of mount zion on methodist church, the first church bombs in the state and talk with the survivors. i have a few pictures here -- okay. >> is this one up right now? okay. okay. in this picture, this is a snapshot because i am their post and they are with them. andy young and near the front, martin luther king in the middle, i wasn't taking them because they were my friends. i was there host. we work together and we were risking our lives. the only church for four counties around where dr. king could have spoken were burned to the ground. we were able to get him into a nearby pool hall and here is dr. king playing pool with a few of the guys who might have been 20 years old, 21, almost ready to vote but a lot of the kids followed us in. i did not think that was superunusual. i was taking my snapshot. is a wonderful way. via told a group in detroit that dr.

martin luther king came here numerous times in the 60's and along with the southern christian leadershipnce to help strategize the civil rights movement. it was a very hard time for them. and they were under threat constantly. so to be able to get away from it all and come for a respite was very important. one of the buildings that are here on the campus, gantt cottage, is where he resided during his stays here from 1963 all of the way through 1968. john: martin luther king as you may well know came from a middle class rather privileged african-american family and had not experienced poverty or deprivation. and saw for the first time very much up close what poverty does to people. and that was an inspiration for him. daljit: dr. martin luther king junior embraced the gullah people and their culture which was distinct from any other in the area. in order to preserve this unique culture and ensure the rights of the gullah geechee peoples, the united nations launched an international decade for people of african decent in january 2015. ♪ long time coming, ooh. daljit: the decade aims to rec

and martin luther king shortly after lbj's assassination where they talk -- sorry, shortly after the kennedy assassination where they talk about and where lbj talks about fulfilling the problems and i've heard you talk about it before. can you share the context of that but he was a man of integrity? >> lbj his history on race is complicated. there's nothing about this man that is not complicated but that is certainly true in terms of his view on race. personally i don't think he had a prejudice bone in his body. lady bird johnson said that it was as though one day and was bored yesterday. he really did look at people in a particular way he was remarkably free of prejudice but was also in aspiring politician and in the state of texas you couldn't be an inspiring politician in the 1930s and 40s and 50s without being opposed to civil rights and pro- segregationist and that was true of lyndon johnson but when johnson could do something about the issue of civil rights, he seized that opportunity. when he says that the senate became the most powerful senate majority leader in our history c
