[applause] "i have a dream. and you can, too, since there ain't no reason for you to get up early anymore!" "free at last, free at last. here's your severance package, you're free at last." but to be fair, she did find a way to say that she was sorry. >> after facing negative feedback, tejada posted an apology letter to the company's website saying, "there are a number of things i would do differently if i could. the quote i included from dr. martin luther king jr. was inappropriate and insensitive. i am sorry." >> d.l.: yeah. after the king thing didn't work, she went to the words of adolf hitler, "i blame the jews!" come

the boulevard christian church in which doctor martin luther king junior civil rights figure. doctor martin luther king junior, held his last sermon because before he was assassinated in 1968. anyhow. whatever so far is that we heard pamela harris and she had her some strong statements. they're trying to encourage to the family, the mother, the father of terry nichols to, to just hold on and acknowledging how painful this all must be for the family, for his parents. and for the extended family and a she said clothes that i'm americans are, are morning with you addressing the mother of terry nichols. reverend al sharpton makes the point that this is yet another victim to police brutality and to the failure of changing the system which hasn't happened yet in his mind. in the minds of many, many experts, no matter what this color of their skin, that congress, the white house washington failed to push through the george floyd policing act, which would have. so is the thinking provided substantial police reform. and this is what we will hear here in this ceremony that terry nichols

the brutal paradox he underscored that martin luther king jr. at 39 years old standing in front of room 306 on the lorraine motel balcony where a report rang out against -- across the parking lot, felling the greatest leader for civil rights we've ever seen in this nation, exploding his report inside his jaw, cutting his necktie off at the knot, he fell backgrounds on the ground. his legs were bicycling through the banister. his best friend went into the room, extracted a board from the laundered shirt and scooped his blood into a jar saying this is the blood of the prophets. that moment in black america and indeed american history is monumental. so much so that a man who was felled by an assassin's bullet is now raised 19 feet above the highest monument on the sacred ground of washington, d.c. as a representative of this nation's best ideals. in that city because of his efforts black police people, black fire people were able to gain employment. and what reverend sharpton underscored today of that brutal paradox is that the very progress made b

also something. >> imagine being virtually immersed as an audience member at one of doctor martin luther king junior's speeches. that's exactly what high school students from nassau county got a chance to do at molloy university. the exhibition tour begins with historical documentaries of doctor king followed by an audio version of a speech. then students, keyless headsets and were transported to white rock baptist church in durham, north carolina in 1916 for an interactive max renner is the assistant professor of communication and new media. he brought the virtual project from north carolina state university in honor of the late civil rights leader for trying to think about what was a speech that would speak into kind of the current moment in a range of issues, particularly on race. the speech was delivered at the historic church just days after the greensboro sit-ins began. but the speech was never video recorded. writer says getting it right was important. we've had a lot of people work in meeting the audience. the motion capture additional actor. the facial capture. >> in order to make pa

martin luther king jr., whom she loved. she saw that as the same line of freedom fighting. approach to the right of all people to be free. -"i came to understand that parks was willing to work for things that would improve life for his race and his family and himself. the second time parks and i were ever in each other's company, he talked about getting married. i hadn't given marriage a thought at all. we were married in pine level in my mother's home. it was not a big wedding, just family and close friends." -uncle parks was one of the best of men. he was kind, he was quiet as well, and reserved. -they moved to the cleveland courts projects. rosa parks, people look at her as a middle-class woman, but they'd never own a house, not in their entire marriage. -her first meeting with the naacp, the secretary was out. they asked her if she'd take the minutes. it was election day, and they elected her secretary. -"mr. nixon was considered the most militant man in montgomery. he was the very first person who approached me about the need to get registered. mr. nixon organized the

we are looking at the balcony where martin luther king shed his blood for city workers, for black city workers. to be able to work in the police department, work and sanitation, and the reason why mr. welsh, what happened to tyre is so personal to me, it's that five black men that would not have had a job in the police department, would not ever be thought of to be in an elite squad, in the city the dr. king lost his life, not far away from that balcony, you beat a brother to death. people had to march, and go to jail, and some lost their lives to open the doors for you, how dare you act like that sacrifice was for nothing. >> i want to expand on that point and bring in michael eric dyson, distinguished university professor of ethics and society at vanderbilt university's divinity school. michael eric dyson, what a moment. frankly, it is stringing together far too many moments in the hour of america's history. i wonder, from your perspective, you are at the funeral today. it was so emotional, the idea of it happening in memphis in particular, the idea of this sacrifice that reverend sh

martin luther king was 39 years old. no one was happy tonight in that same place where martin luther king delivered his final speech. the theme of dr. kings king's final speech -- when he said, the issue is injustice. that was the issue tonight on that same stage, with five police officers now accused of the murder of tyre nichols, who was 29 years old when he was being beaten to death by those police officers and calling out for his mother less than 100 yards from his mother's home. tonight, tyre nichols's stepfather said this. >> only thing i can say is that -- going to be sweden short. keep fighting for justice for our son and our family. protect my wife, because she is very fragile right now. we need that for her. trust me. and i need it too. so, like i said, let's go -- tonight. because we have a long fight ahead of us. we have got to stay strong for it. so, justice for tyre. >> justice for! >> justice for tyre! >> [crowd chanting] justice for tyre! >> reverend al sharpton said this at the press conference. >> there

amy: the mason temple is where martin luther king, jr. delivered his "mountaintop" speech on april 3, 1968, the eve of his assassination. that is where the news conference took place. on tuesday, memphis authorities said they will release more of the video and audio of tyre's fatal beating after it completes its investigation sometime "in the coming weeks." we'll have more on the police killing of tyre nichols after headlines. a warning to our audience, this story contains graphic images of police violence. in california, activists and family members of anthony lowe, jr., a 36-year-old black man who used a wheelchair and was fatally shot by huntington park police last week, are demanding the officers involved in his death be brought to justice. lowe's mother spoke at a press conference monday outside the huntington park police department, where she said, "they murdered my son." lowe had both of his legs amputated at the knee. his family says he was suffering from a mental health crisis when he was shot by police after officers responded t

and all over the country that night, when martin luther king was, kill the cities burned.had no destruction in indianapolis that night. there's a memorial to where he gave that speech in indianapolis to nonviolence. and my father's business was downtown. if all the businesses in indianapolis burned down, my fathers would have burned. and the idea that one person can deliver a message so powerful, that changed the history of the city, that change peoples minds and hearts, that to me was really what compelled me to go into politics. senator kennedy's example, his passion, his devotion to civil rights, his devotion to nonviolent change, that really inspired me as a young kid. that's what got me into politics. >> so, and then, bobby kennedy was assassinated on the campaign trail about six weeks after martin luther king day. so, there you are as a little boy thinking about politics for the very first time. and politics broke your heart. >> well, that was obviously horrific and tragic to see senator kennedy killed after the california primary. and just a horrible, horrible night

um, martin luther king and the march to washington. it's a book for kids and they say, we can't have it in school because of photographs of political violence. ruby bridges goes to school, which is a story about integration of school getting this little girl into school because of white domestic terrorism in the united states in the 1950s. and 60, they say we can't have the book because it has racist remarks. i mean, that is rich to me, right? we can show you the book about martin luther king cuz he didn't beat and they getting beat went down to one beaten them out. it's mind boggling to me. this was a backwards where this was like, something from like, or, well, i would agree mark, but i also wanna put in context where your viewers, that we are talking about, an incredibly mo, oh, our whole minority, the latest m p r. it's so poll indicate that 72 percent of parents, once you're kids, to learn more about racism. so we're lowering the, you know, the tail away, the dog on this thing. and you know, you take a state taxes that has somethi

that dent is the martin luther king dent, and we will save that as a great historical memento. so i covered him, occasionally, for the washington star. i covered some speeches of his. and then, for time magazine, for a bit as well. host: did you write the man of the years worry? -- man of the year story? lance: no, i did not. host: let's move on to john in los angeles. caller: what story, in your career, back when you are doing the time cover stories, was the most fun to write? my second question is, when you talked earlier about the importance of narrative, what do you think about the storyline that the press told about trump, essentially that he was in league with russia and a russian spy? what do you think about that narrative? lance: alger his was 1948. that was entirely different generation. do you mean -- well, i'm confused by your reference. but his, i would like to talk about him, but he had nothing to do with trump. the most fun, without question, was in 1985, neil leifer and i -- neil was a great photographer and an earlier sports illustrated photographer, who took ma

unfortunately, malcolm has been relegated to the position of ready much being the opposite of martin luther kingadvocate of nonviolence. we know malcolm as the militant, the revolutionary. i think it is important to think more deeply about the legacy of malcolm x. for example, think about is internationalism. one of the things we confront in this country is the kind of u.s.-centric position of so many and the issues we address and the ways even activists, even radical activists tend to look at the u.s. as the center of the world. malcolm emphasized human rights as opposed to simply civil rights because he argued it was not simply a question of this particular nation state, it was about the world. it was about africa and latin america, it was about asia. he very specifically emphasized the importce of afro asian solidarity in connection with been doom. there is so much we can learn from reflecting on the legacy of malcolm x, especially now we need to pay attention to the wa in which he insisted on pport of solidarity with the palestinian people. juan: angela, the nationally renowned civil rights

the names of one is the sword, the shield, the revolutionary, three lives of malcolm x and martin luther king jr. and then what is considered the defense active biography on stokely carmichael. the book is titled stokely a life, but in his most recent and it's called the third reconstruction in america's struggle with racial justice in the 20th century. it really does dissect the modern movement, and it really starts with barack obama. the rise of the black lives matter movement, the presidency of donald trump, the rise of the maga movement as well. the turmoil that we face throughout the covid i'm sorry, the covid crisis. and it also puts into context the assault the capitol in january six. so all of those events bringing them into with a historic lens as well. so in summary dr. peniel joseph is an american scholar and an important voice on race issues today. so welcome, peniel. thank you. bringing a very different perspective. the civil rights movement is tom ricks. he a noted military reporter from assignments from the globe. he is a number one new york times bestselling author specializin
