recognized that a philip randolph was the principal leader of the march. >> host: what was martin luther king's role? >> guest: by martin -- by 1963 martin luther king had established himself as a leader. he was known for his leadership in the montgomery bus boycott. he had formed the southern christian leadership conference, and he was widely known really as the leader of the southern civil rights movement, this movement based on nonviolent , civil disobedience, and that ending jim crow in the south. he was a tremendous speaker, a phenomenal speaker. but he was not the only end in many ways the principal leader of what we would know as the civil rights movement. the civil rights movement was a national movement, one that was not focused on ending jim crow, a movement that went back to this effort during the 2nd world war two when equal access to jobs and retained that effort to try to build a national movement that could end racial inequality. so by 1963 martin luther king was well-known as a speaker, a leader of this in some ways a part of the movement. and so when a philip randolph went to r

rights arguing for desegregation and access to schools, the public spaces and in that wing martin luther king was the most important and prominent figure in that march. the march was a merger of these two. the actual day of the march, martin luther king's role was also interesting. he was the last of 10 speakers. the first was a. philip randolph who opened by setting the tone. he explained what they meant by this being a march for jobs and freedom. he explained the importance of ending discrimination but also fighting for economic justice, for winning jobs for everyone for living wage jobs and raising the minimum wage and he set out but that connection between jobs and freedom. instead of a mantra that was repeated throughout the day and all of the other speakers took up that connection and talked about the connection of racial inequality between jobs and freedom. it's interesting i think it important to remember by the time martin luther king came to the stage people were worn out. people had heard of. this has been going on for over two hours and that was just the event at the lincoln memor

martin luther king, jr. had never addressed a large audience of the national press. also, at the same time, in 1962, maybe even earlier, the fbi, itself, will admit that j edgar hoover had targeted dr. king as a possible pawn of the communist movement in america. anybody who participated in civil rights at that time was suspect by the fbi as being not only a troublemaker, but possibly a pawn of the communist movement. so, j edgar hoover use the press and people that he knew to send out rumors and i think it might have been that, more than any racial issue, that caused dissension on the committee. joe: to invite him to speak. carol: because the chairman of the committee resigned in protest when the committee accepted simeon's recommendation to let dr. king speak. joe: the chairman of the speakers committee? carol: yes. this speech, itself, as it will get to later on, is a magnificent speech. and you can tell from the questions that follow debt, that the seat had been planted because there is one question about whether it had been written by stanley levinson, a new york

martin luther king jr.'s dream of true democracy. in his famous speech, i have a dream, let me just quote here what he asked the american people to do. he said, to make real the promises of democracy, now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all god's children, and it's the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood, of course, and sisterhood. as i think about his powerful words going into black history month, and his challenge for america to live up to her highest ideal, we must reflect on how far we've come and where we need to go. now, of course, the right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. which dr. king reminded us of, when he said, give us the ballot and we will fill our legislative halls with men and women of goodwill. in his honor we must pass the voting rights advancement act, h.r. 2867, introduced by a great woman, a member of the congressional
