martin luther king was standing on his balcony and a shot fired across the street. the bullet exploded in his face. >> on april 4, 1968, dr. martin luther king jr. was assassinated on the balcony of the room lorraine motel. the national civil rights museum, we visit to learn about his final days and what brought him to memphis. >> when we study the history of memphis, there is pre-and post-april 4, 1968. dr. king had his nonviolent resistance following but after the assassination of malcolm x, you have the formation of the black panthers. leaders calling out for black power to take control of their own neighborhoods and communities. there was a split in ideology and philosophy in which was the most effective way to combat civil rights in america. dr. king was overshadowed by these black militants. he was not receiving a high approval rating in the black community. it was as if the african-american community turned its back. this was only supposed to be a detour for him, coming to memphis. he was going to lead a march and get to washington, d.c. later that month. segregationists and those opposing dr. king's mission at this time are saying that

sellers thelses talks about hero and those of the movement that it wasn't just about martin luther king, jr. but civil rights movement would never have happened at all if it wasn't for other people doing all of the work. which isn't to take anything away from martin luther king, jr. who was incredible. but -- it's important to start recognizing some of the people a that's what's happening right now is is this current generation of scholar and journalist and historians are starting to shine a light into the crevice and into corners -- on to the secondary figures to flesh out the movement. there's still quite a lot of work to be done before we fully appreciate civil rights movement and its impact on american history, and that's what i think isis starting to happen now. i mean it has been happening for maybe about ten or 15 years with this, and it continues to happen and very important work, i think. >> we're also questioning it gives us opportunity to question some of those previous paradigm and pillars that we put iconic figures on and done history disjustice by making them only figures that

could be finally remedied that's the difference between the hard left today. >> you mentioned martin luther king, jr. in the promiseary note and two type of revolution was insistence that change takes time and transforms requires patience and martin luther king, jr. talked about the note that he also talks about the fierce urgency of now. and fact that justice delayed is justice denied. how did you balance those two competing ideas that real change takes time with a recognition that there can be a body count to a lack of justice extended. >> uh-huh. well if you look at history of revolution -- the other three a french, russian, the chinese were all utopian take now a poet he just had to break a few egg to make omelet and in other words when you have a view of the possibility of change, there's a gap between reality and a the ideal and it's always filled with -- coercion. and it leads to violence and o.c. that's where martin luther king, jr. was a pacifist that's the difference between some of those who followed him who were impatient. you can say go back in a less controversial thing saying william

we came up with margaret thatcher, we came up with reforms, martin luther and then martin luther king jr., his namesake. we came out with heroes. harriet tubman and the chinese admiral -- then we had a stand alone. the standalone was general robert e lee. and we put him because of all the figures in my life in my youth, he was the iconic leader. i went to the school he went to. and to me he was the exemplar of military and quality leadership. and it is complex to write about robert e lee now. and i have a complex relationship with his memory. but i did not think i could honestly write a book about leaders, without adjusting the one that had probably spent the most time in my life thinking about. >> you said that we -- you have a portrait of lee that you wife gave you and you threw it out. why did you change your mind about that? >> my wife of 41 years is in the back. when i was a second lieutenant, she spent $25 and bought me this painting of robert e lee. quite a painting you get for $25. framed! and it really was just a print of the more famous painting. and they put acrylic on it to m

we made a plan to launch our campaign on the weekend of martin luther king jr. day. the president pulled his punch when it came time to lower the cost by enabling secretaries to renegotiate. this was very important. there were paychecks by building infrastructures of america and integrity by reducing the role of dark money in the political -- health care was an important issue. when it comes to health care all politics is personal. again we made our own environment. the gop try to distract and divide our politics. when i say our candidates, our candidates for reelection as well. a resoundingred verdict against congressional republicans attacks on medicare, medicaid and pre-existing conditions in districts everywhere in america. they went in a new direction. now they want a new direction. a house that will move to make progress in the lives of america's families. democrats pledge a new majority. lower health care costs, bigger paychecks, building infrastructure. corruption to make america work for people's interest. not special interest. it was about to restore the he

as martin luther king jr. called upon it in 1963 from a birmingham jail, so too did the greater birmingham ministries and bethel ame church in 2017. and it can never be forgotten that the state that produced the eugene -- sheriff jim clark and judge roy moore 's also created the civil rights warriors. who took down and defeated bull, jim and now roy in their crosshairs. [laughter] [applause] yeah. [applause] and now i'm going to take us to the night of the election because that section i am skipping tis what the civil rights warriors did. [laughter] roy moore nonetheless, had a lock on the republican stronghold in most of the northern sectors of the state. and the vote tallies began to roll in, his lead continued to grow. it looked almost insurmountable. as the votes continued to be counted, the elections seemed to mirror the classic mohammed ali -- with black voters apparently overwhelmed, outmatched and heading for sure defeat at the hands of a much more powerful opponent. but then, a blazing uppercut cart r

skin color or those kinds of things that is true independence if you look at the words of dr martin luther king jr he said he hoped that people would be judged not by their skin color or categorized by extemporaneous factors he wanted them judged by the content of their character and i think that's how women in america should and usually do vote all right every service and same thought yet event sounds good and we love to see use martin luther king and throw out those sound bites but see what was actually important to king was making sure that the little brown children as they were being bused from school from the lower economic sides of the of the community to the parts that were fully white so that those children could be interrelated educated at the same level of the other children unfortunately what we're seeing here is that just like back then in the sixty's when black children were being bused to other communities white women did something very interesting if you go back and you look at most of the pictures of the sixty's of the children being bus you see a lot of white women standing there

out with powerbrokers and margaret thatcher, reformers, the protestant reformation and then martin luther king jr.. we came out with heroes and then we had a standalone. we put robert e. lee because of all of the figures in my life and my youth, p he was the iconc leader. i went through washington high school for me he was the exemplar of the battlefield quality leadership and its complex to write about now and i have a complex relationship with his memory, but i didn't think i could honestly write a book about leaders without the one bites the most time in my life thinking about. >> why have you changed your mindwh about that? when i was the second lieutenant she spent $25 bought me a painting of robert e. lee. you get quite a painting for $25. this is the symbol of what i thought about leadership and they would say this is what stanley mcchrystal admires and then after charlottesville he asked me what about that picture i could never get rid of something you gave me. and she said i don't think it means for everybody what it does for you. i think it is sending an unmanned defici data signal thae

we lost martin luther king jr., we lost senator robert kennedy. the civil rights movement was underway, but far from settled, so we were grappling with real issues, and it drew us to public service. we continue to grapple with real issues. i hope it draws young people to public service. as i said, we are in as i said, we are an ever evolving country, and the issues we face as a country and a world are ever evolving, and it takes, different times require different actors and different actions. having been a part of the public life of this country for 50 years, i do see the change that can come. for example, the fact we have five women running for my seat out of a field of 11, that we are seeing more women be successful, at least in their primary fights to seek public office, that is one example of the positive change that has come, but it requires people becoming engaged in pushing for the change they seek. my call is genuine. there are real opportunities here, but it takes people getting engaged and making the investment, not only of their time, b

it was an idea that coretta scott king had, that martin luther king jr. had because she believed we had to get to the point where we had economic power. we need to fight for the kind of things that would allow to us have full employment, better job training through our community colleges, through our apprenticeship program, through our state schools. we need to have that pipeline training so that young kids can learn stem subjects, science, technology, engineering, and math so they can have that piece of the american dream. that's not what we have been investing in. so many new yorkers, so many people around the country feel left behind. because they know the system's rigged. it's not rigged for them. so that's what our mission has to be. we have to it fight for these basic fairness things. for these basic kitchen table things, health care, education, jobs. it's really that simple. now all of you have been fighting since the day president trump got inaugurated and for decades before that. and after president trump was inaugurated, people stood up. it was

martin luther king jr. what i find interesting is the march 24, 1945 mission, 20 years and one day which was 1965, where dr. martin luther king walked across the bridge, my question is have you ever looked at yourself as a civil rights movement yet to come, you didn't protest, you didn't march, what you did was good and became some of the best pilots in the country . >> i've been asked that question a number of times, and while we were going through training, i think the panelists , i don't think we dreamed at that time we were making an impact on the future of what was happening and that type of thing, we thought we were doing our job as citizens of the united states, and performing as soldiers in the military. it wasn't until in the late 1970s, even more recent, when true film came out, one was called -- with worldwide distribution and picked up by hbo and the second was the red tails which was a lupus film put out by george lupus. anyway, they got worldwide distribution and around that time all sorts came

case the 1963 , and in washington, d.c., on the steps of the monument to abraham lincoln, martin luther king jr. gave a speech in which he said, in part, "i have age reamed that one day this nation will rise up and lift out the true meaning of its creed, "we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal." more americans had come to accept the notion that all men and women of all races and religions were indeed to benefit from those rights that jefferson had identified so long ago. has that ideal been realized? no. honestly, not. i don't know if it ever will be. that the nature of an ideal? -- you musting the always strive to achieve. sufferingncoln put a the nation had experienced in the civil war, suggesting all of those events had been of six days in may of 1860, the events that these have experienced -- they have experienced since then, that all of those words were a test and lincoln put it, it was a test of any nation so conceived and so dedicated, the ideals of liberty and natural rights, can endure. the test continues. it will likely continue as far as we can see int

martin luther king, jr.. the i find interesting is march 1945 mission to the tank factory was 20 years to the day from march 20 5, 1965, when dr. king walked across the bridge to vote and have you ever looked at yourself as the civil rights movement yet to come? you did not protest. you did not march. what you guys did is you became some of the best pilots in the country. asked thateen question a number of times. while we were going through , and i think the other panelists will attest to this, i don't think we dreamed at that time we were making an impact on the future of what was happening as far as racial integration and that type of thing. we thought we were doing our job as citizens of the united states and performing as soldiers in the military. the late 1970's and even more recent when two films came out. one was called "the tuskegee airmen," which had worldwide distribution. that was put out by hbo. the second one was "the red tails," a lucasfilm put out by george lucas. distribution.wide around that

pursuit of fairness, i did so as a college student speaking in the shadow of abraham lincoln and martin luther king jr. as the 30th anniversary on the march on washington and i did so as the democratic leader of house of representatives and as the democratic nominee for governor of georgia and now i will do so as a private citizen ready to continue to defend those whose choices were denied full expression. today, i announced the launch of fair, fight, georgia, an operation that will pursue accountability in georgia's elections and integrity in the process of maintaining our voting roles, and the coming days, we will be filing a major federal lawsuit, against the state of georgia for the gross miss management of this election , and to protect future elections from unconstitutional actions. we will channel the work of the past several weeks, into a strong, legal demand for reform of our election systems in georgia, and i will not waiver in my commitment, a lived commitment, to work across party lines, and across divisions, to find a common purpose and protecting our democracy, because we deserve a state

the civil rights crusaders, and joseph the anti-borings activist was equating himself with martin luther king jr. and this is stealing from the other side's playbook. maybe this is an act of desperation that signals the end. i don't know. >> a lot of the work i do now is with getting the e.r.a., the erecall rights amendment passed. [cheers and applause] >> the e.r.a. coalition.org. you mentioned in the book and that's insert fork the firm time the word "woman" or equal rights for women in the constitution. do you feel that is -- i know you mentioned it in the book but this day and age do you feel that is still a way -- i believe it's the only way to get equal rights is when it is illegal to discriminate against women. how do you feel about the equal rights amendment. >> i completely agree. one of my first film nest act was to canvass for the equal rights and then i wrote about it in my fifth grade newspaper. i poled the students students a- the polled the students and the majority were in favor of the e.r.a. some as a result at the next school board meeting the john birch society -- remember? li

martin luther king jr. was the pastor of the church that i lead, he's the modern day embodiment of a long tradition in which there were christians wo t who tried to reconcile slavery with christianity and now they're trying to reconcile an attack on immigrants and poor people trying to escape trouble lands to come across the border. we have a president that wants to meet them with troops. i don't know what the biblical basis is for that understanding of the gospel. >> what do you say to those out there who say when i think about evangelical voters, i think about family values and morals. donald trump is not somebody who is hued closely to that. he has three marriages. he says whatever he wants on twitter. he swears all the time. he makes fun of people's appearances. >> like i said earlier when it comes to the voting booth, we have seen more protection of innocent life which for most white evangelical across the country, the kquestion of life and snens reminnocence remains r one public policy driving questio

on the steps of the monument to abraham lincoln, martin luther king jr. gave a speech in which part i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of the creed. we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. by that point, more americans had come to accept the notion that all men, all women, all races, all religions were indeed to benefit tr those rights jefferson had identified so long ago. has that ideal been realized since? no, honestly not. and i don't know if it ever will be. in part, isn't that the nature of an ideal. it's something ha that we must always strive to achieve. to that end, abraham lincoln, i think, put the suffering that the nation had experienced in the civil war suggesting that all those events of the six days in may of 1860, the events we have experienced since then that all of those were a test. as lincoln put it of whether any nation so con sooved and so dedicated to those ideals of liberty and natural rights. that test continues and will continue as far as we can see in

selma, lord, selma, exclaimed bernice king, daughter of martin luther king jr.. it is no coincidence that selma where blood was shed in the struggle for voting rights for black people pushed doug jones ahead good. election results kept rolling in, the black voter turnout surprised almost everyone. the stealth of the get out the vote campaign which made it seem so last-minute, the apparently staying nonchalant when media pollsters, the significant barriers to the voting booth that alabama crafted brought about a kind of confidence, or resignation, that blacks would just not vote. the overall voter turnout rate had been the paltry 25% that merrill had predicted, perhaps more for whom merrill cast his ballot would have won but more than 40% of voters showed up, with urges well beyond account the's favorable to jones. the people in the black belt counties weighed down by everything alabama could throw at them were equally impressive. jones won an average of 73.4% of the vote in those counties with turnout that averaged 45.4%. about 5 percentage points tire -- higher

it was set up to help realize one of the dreams of dr martin luther king jr that the children of former slaves and slave owners would one day sit down together at the same table just the action of bringing two people together don't go to the same chairs that don't shop in the same places live in the same neighborhood and don't look alike i say that when we even go out in public we are the marching pair here we've been on every civil rights and woman's march there is even just seeing us to gather models what is possible that in itself some people say that's really small but i think it's huge coming to his high level which is to heal the lives of. the legacy things like martin or his now who are visiting our purpose first is uncovering and and teaching truth in history. and you will be a lot of homework even though. this is monument avenue. martha wastes no time in starting her first lesson on the true history of the american civil war next when we come to is. jefferson davis so jefferson davis was the president of confederacy we need to weed what's written on his monument. it's it's appa

notably martin luther king jr. hoover has been dead for 46 years, christiane.nd the 21st century fbi is robert mueller's fbi. he ran it for 12 years. taking office the week before information. and serving until september 2013 when jim comey took over. i've met mueller, i've interviewed mueller. two years ago this week. this is an extraordinary man. and the fbi for all its flaws, is mueller's fbi. they are straight shooters. and they will follow the evidence. wherever it goes. and if donald trump decides to follow richard nixon down the road to hell, by trying to take down the command structure, of the justice department, the fbi will follow him. they will be on the case and on his trail down that road. >> so i want to get your analysis. you say the fbi is straight shooters, it's mueller's fbi. comey worked closely with mueller. of course comey was very very controversial about the whole email situation, with, with hillary clinton and there's some you know reporting now about his own emails and things like that. you know, it's really hard when institutional lead
