martin luther king was marching. we can begin to see what had been happening with people of color. we were always in a white community. but our sisters took the segregation very seriously at the academy in new orleans. we welcomed young black women and there was white flight out of our school. the other catholic schools in new orleans only had a few token black people. the white parents would take their students out of the academy where there were a whole number of black people. which is truly what society is you don't just go with your bubble of friends just like you to learn how to live. but finally, there was so much wideout, we couldn't sustain. but we went down holding up that flag. so i tell the story of that. so i'm waking up with the community as well. but then the waking up to social justice was another struggle because i always thought you prayed to god to solve the real big problems. what's one person going to do? you've got people starving. economic inequality. racists. what's one person going to do? and then the wake-up call came through a big debate that went on in th

martin luther king jr., when asked if the festivities would end, she wrote when m.l.k.s dead -- oh, wait. ben crump? ben: yeah, it is just shocking, these posts that this police officer was sending to her partner, martin rivera, who she was having an affair with. and reremember, shee was sextin with him 20 minutes before she killed botham jean. but there are many posts she said i wear black and i have a gun s so don't f with me becaus i'm already dresseded for your fufuneral. so i think these posts kind of give us some perspective of her if lity, and i don't know she is racist. i don't know the woman at all. but these posts certainly suggest that she had an issue with people of color because there was some other posts in there where she suggested what to do with the diverse crowds of people celebrating at the martin luther king parade, how you should just mace them and do these other things that violate their constitutional rights. so i think the jury would have all of these things to consider when they put a verdict forth white sentence of this police woman amber guyge

from the ones who are committing the genocide you can look at the same thing people say well martin luther king was so great all problem there was also genocide and i'm referring to the un definition of genocide which is a 5 part definition killing members of the group causing serious bodily a member mental harm to members of the group writing about conditions to destroy the group in whole or in part and so forth and so on so again if you look at the problem of black people in the u.s. as well as genocide and not segregation and then the same thing in india so in all 3 places you have the images of mandela of king and of gandhi where the problems that the black people suffer from are is actually tantamount to genocide and is not oh you're all right talk from them meanwhile you know the exact same ones who are doing this are the ones who shove them down our throat so i think this is a major issue all right that's that's all the data come from the university off gonna now we've covered sudan extensively on this program especially the turmoil around the else to off the phone the president all the

yes it was that same speech that got him into hot water with the family of dr martin luther king jr after sachs invoked the name of the civil rights icon when discussing the important role facebook currently plays in preserving the freedom of speech but but let's let's get back to the issue at hand the facebook history want to one during the speech zuckerberg discussed the apparent altruistic early origin of facebook let's take a listen back when when i was in college. our country had just gone to war in iraq and the mood on our campus was disbelief. a lot of people felt like we were acting without hearing a lot of important perspectives i remember feeling that if more people had a voice to share their experiences then maybe. it could've gone differently and those early years shaped my belief that giving more people a voice gives power to the powerless and pushes the society to get better over time . now back then i was just building an early version of facebook for my community but i got a chance to see my values and beliefs plaids a smaller scale. as if we just had facebook during the r

we saw this when martin luther king jr.rote his famous letter from a birmingham jail where he was unconstitutionally jailed for protesting peacefully. we saw this in the effort to shut down campus protests during the vietnam war. we saw this way back when americans deeply polarized about its role in world war i and the supreme court ruled at the time the socialalist leader could be imprisoned for making an antiwar speech. in the end, all of these decisions were wrong. pulling back on free expression wasn't the answer. in fact, it often ends up hurting the minority views that we seek to protect. amy: that is mark zuckerberg. civil rights leaders quickly criticized his reach. mark luther king junior's daughter tweeted -- heard #markzuckerberg's 'free expression' speech, in which he referenced my father. i'd like to help facebook better understand the challenges #mlk faced from disinformation campaigns launched by politicians. these campaigns created an atmosphere for his assassinatioion." king is reportedly visiting the faceb
