martin luther king. i've got at least eight or nine on my shelf, not counting. and not to mention his that, he wrote about himself too, about ten of those. so the first question one wants to know is why did you think there was a need for yet another martin luther book? two reasons. mainly, one, it had been a long time since the last king biography 40 years when the steven lomazow colbert the trumpet sound came out. and since then we've had other great books about civil rights, about king, obviously the taylor branch trilogy. but that's covers really in the king years. david garrels book is not a biography. it's wonderful. but 40 years between king biographies is ridiculous. that's much too long. and in that time, obviously, there's a lot more material, not just fbi material, but archival material that's come into play. and at the same time, there were people alive who knew dr.. king and this was really the spot where i could get around in, interview them before it was too late. obviously, when i was here

martin luther king, but he's martin luther king jr. he's very intentional wanting to go south because he wants to be in the fight. he doesn't have any plans to become a leader of any movement. he just wants to run a church in the south where he can make a difference and eventual perhaps become a university professor or maybe a university president. that's his that's his career vision. but when the moment comes and again, this is about choice, when he gets to montgomery and a bus boycott begins. we all know they're looking somebody who would be willing to address the first mass meeting. thousands of people are gathering at holt street baptist church on december 5th, 1955, trying to what's this going to be? can we all to stay off the busses tomorrow? can we do we want to stay off the busses indefinitely until the city integrates those busses? how long we do this and who's going to help decide and they ask king to be the the for the movement for the movement is there not malcolm to lead yet and he's not sure if he wants to do that because

martin luther king jr.. after a two day seminar he became active in the civil rights movement in georgia. where he led voter registration drives in the 1950's. after a few years in new york i understand he returned to georgia in 1961 to lead the southern christian leadership conference. and the citizenship school at sclc, where he became the executive director and worked closely with dr. king to teach nonviolent organizing strategies and served as a key strategist and negotiator in campaigns that led to the passage of the civil rights act of 1954. as well as the voting rights act of 1965. while civil-rights advocacy has always been a part of your life, your career encompasses so much more, including your work as a pastor, teacher, author, politician, congressman, and mayor of atlanta. and statesman for president giving us a short sense of that vast experience. i am honored to be here with you today. >> some go so far as to call it the city that andy built. but long before he helped transform atlanta into an

as far as martin luther king is concerned, i doubt very seriously because white americans hated martinuther king. they despised him. much like the way they demonized civil rights leaders today as much as they demonized of black lives matter movement, martin luther king had his share of detractors back then. after i get off, i am sure, probably on the republican line, you will hear about -- from racist white mayor is -- white males disparaging today's movement so even though black americans have progressed quite a bit, as far as white people, i don't think so as far as their attitudes because there are those who still hate us because of our stay in color -- because of our skin color. host: let's hear from bill who says he has seen progress. caller: hello? host: hang on just ascetic -- just a second, we will get bill on the one. --line. caller: i am just waking up and i am glad i saved my call for this. i want to say there has been progress. absolutely. the thing about the progress is we still have a system of racism in our society and it is a very dominant system. it is like religion, o

martin luther king jr., martin luther king iii.wake of what we saw just this weekend in jacksonville, florida, and i think these types of moments underscore the fact that the job isn't finished, the dream hasn't been fulfilled and i wonder how you think of moments like today where you look back at such history and yet still see so many problems. >> well, maybe it says and thank you for the opportunity to share on this day as we observe this anniversary. maybe it says that we in a sense continue history, and yet somehow we have to move forward. i must first say to the victims, the family members who have lost loved ones that my condolences i send to them. but there's something wrong with the nation where this continues to happen over and over again. if you remember in 1963 about three weeks after the march on washington four little girls lost their lives in the 16th street baptist church because of bombing. every time there seems to be a sense of a forward movement, there's always the inevitable setback. the fact of the matter is ha
