in the case of martin luther king. jesse: not from what i see on the video. >> when they were attacked they defended themselves. when martin luther king was shot and assassinated. jesse: i'm not comparing you to martin luther king. i was saying maybe you should try to adopt some of their tactics. ways your bottom-line goal? >> i like to keep it plain and simple. we want to smash the fasc. fascism, racism. jesse: who is the fascist? >> mainly right wingers who attack us. they are all over the internet. they have been emboldened by this aadministration. jesse: so you guys are like a self-defense group. who did you vote for in the election. >> i voted for hillary clinton. jesse: i'm sure she is proud to have you as a supporter. i don't know if the secret service is watching. maybe they should take a closer look at you. i wanted to vote for bernie sanders, the nomination was stolen from him. i could not let trump take the presidency. jesse: that's one thing i agree with you on, the nomination was stolen from bernie sanders.

when he got off the plane, he was told that martin luther king jr. had just been assassinated. he was told you how to cancel your event. he had an outdoor public event scheduled in the heart of the black community in indianapolis. the police chief did not want him to go there and told him i can offer you know protection if you go in there. if we send basically our troops in there, that will be provocative. please don't do this. bobby kennedy listened to that advice, to get seriously and worried every day of his life since his brother was assassinated he worried about assassination of himself every day of his life and he decided to go and do the event as scheduled. he did not make it a campaign. he threw away any prepared remarks. he got up and spoke extemporaneously about what had happened and he was the person who announced the news to most of the people in that live audience on his in indianapolis. most of the people there did not know it because they had been there waiting for him to arrive and they did not have radios and no cell phone in no way for them having this news an

martin luther king day. to put statue in front of us as if everything is okay now and we got lazy. they have also been what i would call -- somehow got lazy and forgot the struggle had to continue until everybody can profit from those changes and so that we have now a younger generation in the streets that basically have to learn everything from zero, basically. that's when i felt like voices like baldwin. voices like the late martin luther king, the last two years of his life, the last year of malcolm x, those speeches you have hardly access to them and this is what we need to bring back and baldwin is key to that because he's probably the only one who has that kind of universal analysis of the system in our history. what he calls our common history. because there's not two different histories. it's the same. we all have responsibility in that. and baldwin is classic. so it means, obligation. you need to know baldwin. >> true. >> it's part of your general culture. it's part of your general, now you know, to be a citizen in this country and know your history is also to know baldwin

martin luther king went -- was assassinated on the fourth. that up to the president except arthurmiami, went mcduffy was killed and there was a rebellion against that, and then after the rodney king trial, after he will -- the child him being beaten and the officers were acquitted, those standout because more or less there haveresent, been black and latino elected who conserve as a voice for those communities. not resolve these issues, certainly, but when people feel there is a past where people can adjust the issues, -- and nonviolent path to adjust their issues, people take that path. forre we condemn people writing and creating violence in the community, let's look at what opportunities exist for people to a dress these concerns in ways that seem normal to other communities but are not there for the communities we are talking about. we look at baltimore, ferguson, a number of cities, we have to raise the issue. opportunities and does everyone in those cities equally have an opportunity to address concerns around economic, social, and polit

martin luther king popped up.is moral authority and his desire and ability to educate, to teach, and to guide john kennedy along a moral path to understanding that civil rights was a moral issue. and how did king do that successfully? >> well he did it by a lot of persistence. he did it by never letting up. he cemespent a lot of time writ about it. he spent a lot of time in jail. he, you know, met with kennedy several times. and -- just, just used the force of his, of his character, really, to, to awacen the conscience i think of john kennedy and make him think more about -- the -- the, problem of -- of civil right and discrimination in our country. >> why? bobby is a character in this book to some extent, obviously. even though it is about jfk and mlk. why did bobby get that so much more easily than his brother. bobby didn't start in the right place either. he had a transformation as well. seems, you can disagree with me. my read is that bobby was a better student than his brother was? >> yeah, he was a better st

mainstream media, like the false report claiming trump had removed a bust of civil rights leader martin luther kingm the white house. president trump: zeke, from "time" magazine, writes a story about, i took down -- i would never do that, because i have great respect for dr. martin luther king. but this is how dishonest the media is. sharyl: more when we return. are social media sites controlling what you see online? >> when you type "hillary " into yahoo!, there are plenty of indict fios is not cable. we're a 100% fiber optic network.

martin luther king jr. with a further air's urgency of now. it takes a little bit more effort to take respect for effort to take respect for kennedy's approach which i would say is the fears urgency of how. it is a different challenge. watching him change and he did change. campaignore on in the there are moments in the spring of 19 65 when he realized he would not get much help. on the other hand the movement has been heating up and thinks it been happening. who is found a guy working for walter reuther in the united auto care workers. all of a sudden one day kennedy stood up and said if i have the quote right, damaged the negroes are right. to thes his approach issue. he was still straddling, he was very frustrated. on the other hand you can see this. howou tell the story of other democratic politicians are trying to navigate these waters after the ground decision. -- brown decision. in your narrative you show that kennedy and johnson both struggled with how to respond to this burgeoning civil rights move

she was driving along martin luther king martin luther king drive way before she hit a guardrail. woman who has not been identif ied was renounced dead at the scene. a juvenile passenger was injured, but is expected to be okay. in montgomery county three people are recovering following an accident involving a golf cart. it happened just before 10:00 last night among were all ejected from the golf cart. the woman suffered serious, but non life threaten ing injuries. a teenage girl was also injured and a man was treated for minor injuries at the scene. they may have hit a speed bump causing the golf cart to tip on. the new white house communications director anthony scaramucci is vowing to make some changes when he takes over the roavment he appeared some several sunday morning talk shows to break down a plan as a member of president trump's team . as far as i'm concerned it's a new start for everybody in that team and everybody in that team can stay as long as they follow the protocol of not liking because at the end of the day the end of the day the president is super upset about

and we've learned about martin luther king and malcolm x. and uniting with obese people around the globe. i hope this answers your question. for my generation and the movement is that time of the international solidarity. in the progression of 48, 67, 82 would you characterize it as more cynical or do you still have a degree of hope? >> sometimes i feel my heart bleed, that is how i feel. i don't watch the news. >> if you think of syria, it is a rich country, nice people, but then you think they would come back. i would have no doubt in my mi mind. but i know this cannot and will not be because we have given the word and we come from our culture and humanity and now we have to worry about something being stolen. i am optimistic but i know this is not our feet. it cannot be. >> [inaudible] as they start to evolve i make it public because as i said, people need to know. even younger people need to know that what is happening today cannot be our fate and this is not who we are. your neighbor is christian, romanian, it doesn't really matter. we

we'll talk about martin luther king in a moment but in terms of, isn't it easy to say that young peopleoung people are worse today than in my time, is now just an easy excuse? the evidence is there. what we do know is that there and more single—parent families than ever before, there are more young people growing up in homes where they are struggling to even have the basics, and with all these things in oui’ basics, and with all these things in our society, martin luther king gave it talk was about rediscovering our lost values and it is so relevant now. values of respect, do unto others as you do unto yourself. love your neighbour as yourself. these things are not in the mindset, they are not in our youth culture. if you don't understand that, then we are going down at deep and dark slippery path, unfortunately, things will get worse. i came from a single-parent family andi worse. i came from a single-parent family and i didn't feel the need to walk around with knives or asset, i think it is an easy way of making excuses, but you were a gang member. what goes through somebody‘s mind th

martin luther king jr., riverside church, the fierce urgency of now. it takes a little more effort to have respect for president kennedy's approach, which i would say is fierce urgency of how. it is a different challenge. watching him change, and he did change, as time wore on and the campaign, there is a moment in the spring of 1959 politically pretty realizes he will not get much help in the south. that will be all lyndon johnson. on the other hand, the movement has been heating up and things up and happening. we found a guy who was working for walter reuther and united auto workers who was reporting about what particular meeting when all of a sudden kennedy stood up and said if i have the " damn it, the negroes are right." then he see a different approach to the issue. he was still straddling, he was very frustrated. but on the other hand you can see the evolution. >> you tell the story of how other democratic politicians are trying to -- and republicans are that matter -- are trying to navigate these wa

martin luther king junior had come to portland in the early 60s. there was a huge, huge gathering for him at vancouver avenue baptist church. i was not present for that but my grandmother on my mothers side, alberta louise randolph, i carry her middle name, grand mal randolph was present. in fact, she got, she came away with dr. king's book, stride toward freedom, signed by him. and i now have that book in my collection. but that was a huge moment and event in the portland black community that connected portland's black community to the movement. >> what stands out to me as a spark for her early activism was when she had her first job in the oregon division of corrections, and after sort of leaving home, leaving community, leaving campus, now out in the state, sort of the state apparatus, state structure and having to use your voice, both on the half of parolees and people in the system, and on behalf of her own behalf because of the treatment that you were given in that job. i don't know if that's the spark spark, but to me that's a crucial moment

jeremiah wright and i am proud to say that but that comes from the part of me that is grounded in martin luther kingr. because of my own previous book on dr. king. black liberation theology is a radical doctrine. one of my oldest closest academic friends, a theologian, jim is the leading progenitor of black liberation theology, and what jeremiah's church came to represent was the living embodiment of what black theologians like jim cohen and cornell west have championed. reverend wright's preaching, barack was not there that day. barack and michelle were not there for another of reverend sermons.notorious i do not think the reverend's preaching is in any way reflective of barack obama's beliefs. trinity church was great if you were an aspiring young african-american politician in chicago. but, as many good things can be but, as many good things can be said about reverend wright, i would say that no one should be judged by history for the three stupidest things they have ever said. there is a much worse clip from the national press club some years later -- brian: is that the one where he damned ameri

i had posters of martin luther king, i had a t-shirt of martin luther king. liked him in the way other people liked rock stars, and athletes. to me he of the demise something i aspire to. -- to me he epitomized something i aspire to. it is something that gets glossed over a lot, how incredibly educated he was. not just in the inflection of the voice, but the incredible references he is making. creek references. -- greek references. half of the people in these audiences don't understand what they are hearing, but he is grounding them in southern gospel. this idea that you could bridge these two worlds, the highly intellectual, and the common southern language. william: you certainly felt his passion. charles: you can feel his passion, but intellectually, academically, those speeches are stand apart from just the passion. they are incredibly well-crafted. he was riding them. this is him -- he was writing them. this was him. the idea he could spend all of literary history, on the ground history, and we've that into a narrative that made sense for people, many of
